1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: Mr garbutsch Off teared down this wall. Either you're with

2
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: us or you were with the terrorists. If you've got

3
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you

4
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: are satisfied with is not the President of the United States,

5
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: take it to a bank. Together, we will make America

6
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: great again. It's what you've been waiting for all day.

7
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show joined the conversation called Buck toll

8
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: free at eight four four nine hundred Buck. That's eight

9
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: four four nine hundred to eight to five. The future

10
00:00:52,880 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: of talk radio, Buck Sexton and the worst twenty minutes

11
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: of my life. I thought that we are disappointed and

12
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: angry that this happened. We do know that everyone on

13
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: the island was affected in some way. Very frightening, traumatized, scared.

14
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know if if I was going to die

15
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: a second or die in the the next five minutes. It

16
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: was horrifying. I came across to our phones that there

17
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: was a missile that was gonna hit, and nobody knew

18
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: what to do. I filled up fields of water, and

19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: I filled up the bathtub just so we would have water.

20
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: I got caught in clothes on so that way, if

21
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: there was hot air fire, it wouldn't melt my skin,

22
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: and I sat in the bathtub that I made for

23
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: myself and cried. I called my mom. She wouldn't let

24
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: me hang up on the phone with her. She said,

25
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: I want to be here just in case it happens.

26
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: And it was really sad. A ballistic missile threat to

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Hawaii that was totally fake, false in error. Buck Sex

28
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: in here with you all. Thanks for joining me in

29
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hut. We have got much to discuss today,

30
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: my friends. So this is what happened. That that was

31
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: some reaction to a text message that got sent out

32
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: two people in Hawaii by a state government agency. And

33
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: here's what the message said. Emergency alert, ballistic missile threat

34
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill. Now.

35
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who I think is prone to getting

36
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: overly anxious or or scared or freaked out about the

37
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: possibility of a terror attack or any number of things

38
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: out there. I used to work in counter terrorism, and

39
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: so if I saw something that I look like it

40
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: was fake to me, I'd probably ignore it. This was

41
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: an official message, and Hawaii, it is believed, is within

42
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: missile range of North Korea nuclear range who knows, but

43
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: certainly within missile range. And whatever we think we know

44
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: about North Korea could also be wrong. And if I

45
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: had gotten this message, I would have been quite anxious

46
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: about it, understandably, so I think anybody would be. Now

47
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: people already are calling for greater accountability and saying we

48
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: need to make sure this never happens again. I understand

49
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: all that, and I agree this can't happen again, because

50
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: let's just start with a one thing that I think

51
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: has not nearly gotten enough attention in the media. This

52
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: happened in Hawaii, which is a relatively uh small state

53
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: in terms of population, and it happened on a Saturday,

54
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: and it didn't go out to everybody in the island,

55
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: only some, and only one over some text message carriers,

56
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: I forget which ones. And they tried to sound the alarm,

57
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: literally sound alarms in Hawaii, and only some of them

58
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: went off on the streets, you know, ambulance kind of

59
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: alarm sounds, and so it could have been much more

60
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: of a panic than it even was. Imagine if this

61
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: had happened for a moment, if you were in the

62
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: state of well here in New York City or in Philadelphia,

63
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: or in Dallas, or you know, you name it, where

64
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: you might have had panic in densely packed civilian areas.

65
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: It could have been at a at a football stadium.

66
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: It could have been and and people could have been hurt,

67
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: And the possibility of widespread panic turning into loss of

68
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: life is very very real. In fact, recently, when the

69
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: wild five fires were burning in California, state authorities there

70
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: chose not to send in at least one instance, a

71
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: messages out because they weren't sure which direction the wildfire

72
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: was going in. And they also didn't want to possibly

73
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: tell people to evacuate only to put them in the

74
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: path of a wildfire by trying to get out of

75
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: a certain area. And they didn't want to further congest

76
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: egress routes without knowing where the fire was going to burn.

77
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: So there are some complexities here. There are people who

78
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: are paid at the state government level to try and

79
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: handle this stuff so that we can all have some

80
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: hope of getting out of a other of an otherwise

81
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: life and death situation. But people are clearly upset about

82
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: this TULSEI Gabbert, who it's among, Well, I was gonna

83
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: say among my favorite Democrats. Why because I like her policies.

84
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: She said, well, no, that's actually not really true. She's

85
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: just kind of charming in her own way. But she

86
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: said the following about this, and our leaders have failed us.

87
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is taking too long, he's not taking this

88
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: threat seriously, and there's no time to waste. We've got

89
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: to get rid of this nuclear threat from North Korea.

90
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: We've got to achieve peace. Not played politics, but achieve

91
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: peace because this is literally life and death that is

92
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: at stake for the people of Hawaii and the people

93
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: of this country. So it's about getting peace with North Korea.

94
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, sure, we would like to achieve peace with

95
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: North Korea, but North Korea is the problem. They're not us.

96
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: And as much as getting a lecture from a Democrat

97
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: rap out in Hawaii may make the left feel kind of, uh,

98
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: kind of warm and fuzzy about all things, this isn't

99
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: all that all that useful. Uh, this is not all

100
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: that helpful. The media did manage quite quickly to tie

101
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: Trump into this. I think there are a lot of

102
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: people out there, and I don't want to be flip

103
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: about this. I think there are a lot of people

104
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: He's going to be flip about it or happy that

105
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: this at least didn't happen while President Trump, while watching

106
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: was watching Fox and Friends, and instead it happened when

107
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: he was out on the golf course and he was

108
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: informed about this by by layers of advisors and such. Um.

109
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: I think he's being flip about it. You know, I

110
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: was not watching Fox and Friends. You could do that

111
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: to anyone at any time. You all, oh, well, you know,

112
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: not just sitting there. You know, it's not like Bucks

113
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: sitting there in his sweatpants eating chicken nuggets at one

114
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning because he didn't make himself dinner

115
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: because he was working on a history podcast blah blah blah,

116
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: and yeah, that that could have happened. I did have

117
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: chicken nuggets for dinner at one point this weekend. But

118
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper is out there saying, oh, it's a good

119
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: thing Trump. Yeah, because let's focus on whether Trump is

120
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: the problem here or not. Um, how could this happen?

121
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: You know, look, people ask me this. Look, you're working

122
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: kind of terrorism at the A couple of friends asked

123
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: me or counter terrorism at the m Y p D.

124
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: I was like, look, I don't know, I don't know

125
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: how the Hawaii Ballistic Incoming Ballistic Missile system warning works.

126
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I'm gonna lie, you know. I

127
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: wish I knew about all these things. I wish I

128
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: knew about some of the other government stuff that goes on.

129
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: But no, I have no idea how Hawaii system works.

130
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: So I can't give you some inside analysis of whether

131
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: or not Hawaii has a bad system other than the

132
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: fact that clearly it's not a very good one. Here's

133
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: what the Hawaiian Emergency Emergency Management spokesperson, I suppose, this

134
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: is what Verne Miyagi is the gentleman. This is what

135
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: he said about it. It's a human era. There is

136
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: there is a screen that says are you Are you

137
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: sure you want to do this? Okay? And I think

138
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: that's already in place. We had one person, human arrow,

139
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: and that thing was was pushed anywhere, so they not

140
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: only triggered the alert, they also pressed yes. Yes. There

141
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: wasn't two steps process. There was a press yes in

142
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: both situations. Now, I think it's fair to ask. I

143
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: think it's fair to ask, uh, okay, if it was

144
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: just a button, somebody could push the button. You know

145
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: you're not paying attention. You got your coffee, you know,

146
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: you throw a little you know, non dairy coconut creamer

147
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: in there, maybe a little Stevia if you're feeling fancy

148
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: and you know, you knock it over and all of

149
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: a sudden whoops in you you hit the button. But

150
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: if you hit one button and then there's another button

151
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: that you have to hit in order to make it

152
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: go mm hmm, a little strange. I can't go as

153
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: far as to say that a person would intentionally do

154
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: this because I really can't, off the off the top

155
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: of my head, I can't think of why somebody would

156
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: want to do this. I've seen a lot of outrage

157
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: about how the government employee needs to be reassigned here,

158
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: and I'm like, sorry, fired instead of reassigned. Re assigned

159
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: not good enough. I always just want to note that,

160
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, that's not really the unless the person acted

161
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: with malfeasance or or true. Well, I think in competence

162
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: is very likely here, but it doesn't really matter. It

163
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter if there's one person gets fired or not.

164
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: It is very likely if the person did get fired

165
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: that he or she might be able to sue and

166
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: claim that the system was faulty in some way, and

167
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: that would just be then a problem for the taxpayers

168
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: to deal with. But something weird happened here, for sure.

169
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: I woke up on Saturday. I was up. Yeah, I

170
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: keep talking about it. I make it sound like my

171
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: weekend was interesting or actually, no, I guess I make

172
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: it sound like it's even more boring than it was

173
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: because I didn't do anything other than research and study

174
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: and right. But Ms Molly's was on her way to

175
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: Hawaii when this happened in the air in a plane,

176
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: and I didn't I knew she was all right. I

177
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: didn't know what exactly. You know, I don't check and

178
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: see when her flight's gonna land. She just usually text

179
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: me to let me the flight was fine. So I

180
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: don't know when she whether she had or if she

181
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: was landing or anything else. Um. It's it's it's amazing

182
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: that this thing, that this happened the way that it did.

183
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: Look the good news is written as far I understand.

184
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: Nobody was hurt. Clue, there's no ballistic missile. Yeah, but

185
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: also nobody was hurt. Um, so that's good. Although people

186
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: were terrified, there was an emotional distress that many of

187
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: us would certainly feel, but it brings up the the

188
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: bigger issue there. There's there's two levels here. On one hand,

189
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: there's the or on the one level, I'm mixing my

190
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: metaphors here. There's two levels with one hand. Uh. On

191
00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: the one on the one you have the ineptitude the

192
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: Hawaii state government with this system and they messed up

193
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: big time. Uh. Wasn't it some years ago? I forget

194
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: what happened? Wasn't there Uh? What administration was it? When

195
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: the plane was supposed to do a fly by? I

196
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: guess it was Air Force one was supposed to fly

197
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: by the Statue of Liberty and you know down lower

198
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: Manhattan planes close to ground that everything was. It was

199
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: it Obama, but I don't remember now, but there was

200
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: a plane that that flew it was a government plane.

201
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: I think it was Air Force one that flew too

202
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: close to Uh. Um, let me know, guys, let me know.

203
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: We got producer Mike in uh in the chair today,

204
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: so he's he's with us now. We've had some changes

205
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: here in the Freedom Hut, which I'll also talk to

206
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: you about later on. I want to get a chance.

207
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, producer Michael, let me know what the what

208
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: the deal is with that. I'm pretty sure it was.

209
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: I think I see. I don't want to say it

210
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: was Obama because then it's like I'm blaming the Obama

211
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: administration more than I already do for things. But I

212
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: think it was that. I mean, they flew a plane

213
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: close to Statue of Liberty, but it also frightened some

214
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: people because it was there, we go That's what I thought. Yeah,

215
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: So Lower Manhattan was hit on nine eleven by two

216
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: planes find close to skyscrapers, so they decided to fly

217
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: Air Force one for a photo op very close to

218
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: Statue of Liberty, which people that remember are people who

219
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: remember what happened that day eleven. When you have a

220
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: jumbo jet that's getting pretty close to to ground down there,

221
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: that that weirded some people out. Understandably, this is, you know,

222
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: similar to that in terms of the ineptitude, the foolish

223
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: decision making and all that. But then it also raised

224
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: the issue of wow um. One of the reasons this

225
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: was so frightening was that it's conceivable, right. One of

226
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: the problems here is that if you were to get

227
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: a message those of you listening to the show, uh,

228
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: those of you who are listening to the show in

229
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: the Midwest. If you've got a message that you know

230
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: China was invading, you might be like, well, I mean,

231
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have I'm not sure they'd get

232
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: here first, you know, I'm sure the Chinese invasion force

233
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: is gonna have, you know, paratroopers over Omaha first. They

234
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: probably have to go to one of the coasts. There's

235
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: there's other stuff that would happen that wouldn't concern you,

236
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: But Hawaii a nuclear missile that's actually concerning because it

237
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: could happen because it's within range and there's a belligerent

238
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: power there. So we should talk a bit about this

239
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: because there's a new era we have entered now of

240
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: perhaps having to think again about the possibility of a

241
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: conventional military strike, even a nuclear military strike against the homeland.

242
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: That's very different from where we have been psychologically as

243
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: a country for a long time, for almost all of

244
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: my adult life. We will get into that and much

245
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: more after the break. What do you think about this Hawaii? Thank?

246
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: Am I missing something? Is there a part of this,

247
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: that part of this that I've left out that you

248
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: think is important here? Do you do you think of

249
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: some of some of suggested that this could not have

250
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: been a mistake, that maybe this was either a really

251
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: dumb prank or or a sending some kind of a message.

252
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just wondering if you have you've

253
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: got thoughts out there about this? Eight four to five,

254
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: eight four buck. We have much more show coming up,

255
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: my friends, So stay with me instant. The launches made,

256
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: we know it, and then will very quickly make a

257
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: judgment about whether we're being threatened or not. And then

258
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: a notified appropriate command, and it's that command that would

259
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: marry up with local state emergency management centers. In this case,

260
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: of course, there was no launch, and that emergency management

261
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: center acted on their own without a military command advising

262
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: them that they have detected the launch. Not only detected

263
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: a launch, but it's a threat to them. The emergency

264
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: management center in Hawaii, they know full well that they

265
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: should not be providing an alert to their citizens without

266
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: the military command advising. And that's such a thing actually exists,

267
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: and it's actually threatening to the people in Hawaii, and

268
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: that did not happen. Jack Keene over Fox News saying

269
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: how an actual missile launch would be, well, how we

270
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: know about it? What would happen. What we would uh,

271
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: how how that chain of information would work. Oh, by

272
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: the way, before producer Mike told me that it was Obama,

273
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: he gave me the date too, but I just said,

274
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I forgot he wasn't on air. So but

275
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: the point is that, yes, it was the Obama administration

276
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: that flew a flue Air Force one too close to

277
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: the Statue of Liberty, and it gave some people quite

278
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: a jolt and lower Manhattan because it reminded them of

279
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: what happened on eleven. Mike in uh Winston Salem, North

280
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: Carolina got some ideas about what happened. Mike. Good to

281
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: have you. Hey, how are you doing tonight? I'm all right,

282
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: thank you for calling. Thank you. Yeah, I'm I'm programmed

283
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: PLCs and and things like that. And got a theory

284
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: that may play into here. Um, there's a couple of

285
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: problems that I'm hearing this was a training exercise, if

286
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken where I've heard. And it's possible that

287
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: whoever programmed this PLC or touch screen is what I'm

288
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: assuming it is. I don't think it's actually manual buttons anymore.

289
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: My guess is that this was a PLC or PC

290
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: that had a touch screen, and somebody hit the screen,

291
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: and when it came up to do the next step,

292
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: they did it, and from there in a training exercise.

293
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: My assumption is that they wouldn't actually be able to

294
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: trigger the alarms that would go into a another mode,

295
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: and that was probably where the problem is going to

296
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: be found out. That's my opinion. Just feel like you're

297
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: gonna see that this was a programming issue or an

298
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: h m I issue human human machine interface was not

299
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: connected correctly, or a procedure issue. I don't. I think

300
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: they panicked the first time and tried to correct it

301
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: so fast that they hit it again. That's just where

302
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: I'm seeing right now. And and it's sad, But so

303
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: do you so, Mike, You've got you look, I appreciate

304
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: your expertise here. You think that the individual who is responsible,

305
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: who has been reassigned, maybe didn't mess up quite so

306
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: much as people think in terms of how much responsibility

307
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: is on him or her as opposed to the system. Right?

308
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: Is it? Is? It? Is it your analysis that the

309
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: system maybe here was part of the problem. The programming

310
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: of the system. There there were some fail safes that

311
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: were in place that did fall in there. What happened

312
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: was I feel that the that what happened is the

313
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: is the programmer didn't follow through with his programming. They

314
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: didn't check the system to see if this would happen, because,

315
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: like I said, I feel I've heard that this is

316
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: a training exercise, and a training exercise should never be

317
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: allowed to go to the final point. It should show

318
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: up on the screen or you should show up on

319
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: the PLC or whatever that there that this can happen.

320
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: But it's supposed to be locked out, so it can't happen.

321
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: So I don't thought this person not I'm not saying

322
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the system isn't broke, but I

323
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: think it's a programming issue as much as anything else.

324
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: Right now, all right, Mike, thank you so much for

325
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: the call. Good to have you an sir. All right, man,

326
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate thank you. Eight four N two five. You

327
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: got any more thoughts? A little more just on the

328
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: implications of living in a world where we actually have

329
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: to be concerned about nuclear weapons aimed at us, because

330
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: that's new for us, isn't it, folks? That? And then

331
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: the latest on the budget ceiling fight, and also Docca

332
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: and some what's the other thing I'm leaving off here

333
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: that I want to talk to you about. I'm forgetting

334
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: what it was. Oh yeah, someone got uh well, it's

335
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: kind of complicated. Let's just say that I'm gonna talk

336
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: to you about Azizon. Sorry. Later in the show you'll

337
00:19:49,680 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: see why they're right there. He's holding the line for America.

338
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton his back understanding why North Korea has developed

339
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: and is holding on so tightly to these nuclear weapons

340
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: because they see it as the only deterrent against the

341
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: US coming in and overthrowing the regime there. So that

342
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: exists as a result again of our decades long regime

343
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: change war policies around the world, that North Korea is

344
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: now in a position where Kim Jong un is saying,

345
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: no way, I'm not going to give up these nuclear

346
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: weapons because he doesn't see that credible message coming from

347
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: the United States that we don't We're not interested in

348
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: overthrowing your government. We're interested in removing this nuclear threat

349
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: from our country in the world. All right, I take

350
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: it all back. That was representative from Hawaii, Tulsei Gabert

351
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: and and everything she said was idiotic there, and she

352
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: has no idea what she's talking about, And forget about

353
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: me saying that she's a democrat. She's one of the

354
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: democrats that I like more than other democrats. I take it,

355
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: I take it all back. She's that was That was

356
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: a terrible display of ignorance. There few things the idea

357
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: that North Korea has nukes because of us. The only

358
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: way somebody could think that is if they have not

359
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: even the faintest familiarity with the ideological origins of the

360
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: North Korean state, with the Kim dynasty, with the functioning

361
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: of North Korea, with the reason for that state's existence.

362
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: No one could say that North Korea wants nukes because

363
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: of us if they knew any of that other stuff.

364
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 1: Because the truth is that North Korea wants to invade

365
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: South Korea, and North Korea can prevent a US invasion

366
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: of South Korea. It doesn't need a nuclear deterrent for

367
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: US to be uh stopped from going in Militarily, they

368
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 1: can destroy most of for all of Seoul, South Korea

369
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: very rapidly with conventional artillery. Plus North Korea has chemical

370
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: and biological weapons. At least we think who knows, We don't.

371
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: We don't really know what it has, but I'm sure

372
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: it's got all kinds of nasty stuff. Plenty of reason

373
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: to believe that North Korea has managed to hide away

374
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: all kinds of w m D that aren't even the

375
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: nuclear variety. But this is a little guy. I understand

376
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: for some people who are ignorant about foreign policy and

377
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: how the world works, it's great to just find some

378
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: tie in to blame Trump in this administration. But this

379
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: phrases in a more serious way, putting aside Gabbard's nonsense.

380
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: In a more serious way, it's worth noting, Uh, they're

381
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: our concerns now about what the future looks like in

382
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: the world that's going to have more states with nuclear weapons.

383
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: Here's what people don't want to say out loud, but

384
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: most of the folks that I know who have some

385
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: idea what they're talking about will will say at least

386
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: offline or you know, away from microphones. Very likely that

387
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: North Korea is going to get nuclear weapons that could

388
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: hit anywhere in the world soon, and it is very

389
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: unlikely that anyone's going to do anything about it. It

390
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: is also likely that Iran will get nuclear weapons at

391
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: a more distant point in the future. Of the North

392
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: Korea is completion of its ballistic and nuclear weapons programs,

393
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: and I don't think anyone will do anything about Iran

394
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: having it. And at that point you have major not

395
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: just problems of dealing with the missile threat, but also

396
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: non proliferation issues. And you know, what do we do

397
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: within Iranian regime that wants to give Let's say the

398
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: Assad regime in Syria which has still state in power.

399
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: You don't hear much about it these days, but what

400
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 1: do we do if the Iranian get nukes and then

401
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: sneak them nukes? And where does that stop? You know

402
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: who else is gonna want to get it? And clearly,

403
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: if the Irani's get nws societies, you're gonna want to

404
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: get nukes. And at some point in the relatively near future,

405
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: the Japanese may decide, you know what, North Korea is

406
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: going to be pointing weapons that are capable of eradicating us,

407
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: pointing them at us. Then we will have to do

408
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: something ourselves. We can't just count on the good word

409
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: and good graces of the United States of America to

410
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: back us up on that. These are very real concerns

411
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: and we are entering a world where I think much

412
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: more so than many are willing to say right now

413
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: we're going to be relying on missile defense systems instead

414
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: of no one else can have missiles other than who

415
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: already has them. The pace this the spread of information,

416
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: including highly sensitive information, much of it pillaged via cyber

417
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: means from places like the United States, but from all

418
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: over the world's accelerating all the time. And nuclear weapons

419
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: really are are a knowledge issue as much as the

420
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: material one, and once they have the knowledge, there's really

421
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: not much we can do about it to stop them

422
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: unless we're really going to threaten military action. Does anyone

423
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: really believe that the Iranians have given up their quest

424
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: for nukes? I don't think so, does anyone, Well maybe

425
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: some former Obama administration officials, but does anybody with uh

426
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: an i Q that reaches in the high two digits

427
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: and above. I mean, this is really not overly complicated

428
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: stuff when you try to look at it from a

429
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: realistic point of view. I mean, it's very complicated as

430
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: an issue, But I'm saying, whether the Iranians want nukes

431
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: or not, they want nukes, it's not that hard. They

432
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: want nukes. North Korea wants nukes that can hit us,

433
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: and the belligerent posture of North Korea. To take us

434
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: back to what Miss Gabber, Representative Gabber said at the

435
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: beginning of the segment, Now, the war like pose of

436
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: North Korea is not our fault. It is really the

437
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: only posed North Korea knows. It's the only one that

438
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: it has. It is all that it can offer. And

439
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: when you have a state that doesn't have a second dear,

440
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: if it doesn't have another speed, it doesn't have another path,

441
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: it's just it exists to be a military force and

442
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: and an absolutism, a dynasty that has a despotism. What

443
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: are we really hoping it turns into regime change that

444
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: would be such a blessing for the world. We're gonna

445
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: give up the idea of regime change in North Korea.

446
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: What's the point of what's the point of international relations?

447
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: You're just gonna sit around and say, yeah, sure, North Korea,

448
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: you get to keep you, do you? North Korea keep

449
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: being a prison camp above ground in a concentration camp

450
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: below it. It's astonishing to see how many people in

451
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: this country and elected office and positions of power would

452
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: rather use North Korea as an opening or use this

453
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: missile test debacle as an opening to criticize the president

454
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: then to address very real problems that we face. I

455
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: didn't ever have to do the I know many of

456
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: you listening did. I'm sure I never had to do

457
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: the drill where we got under the desk. I've seen

458
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: the videos of it, and I would note that, sure,

459
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: depending on how close you were to a nuclear blast,

460
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: being under the desk wouldn't really save you. But if

461
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: you're at a certain distance, actually I believe the shock

462
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: wave could possibly hit the building and maybe debris would fall.

463
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: So hiding under the desk was not necessarily always as

464
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: foolish as it looked, but it looked pretty foolish as

465
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: a means of trying to save people. And also, you

466
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: look at a situation like Hawaii. If there were a

467
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead through an I CBM

468
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: en route two North Korea, I mean, too uh Hawaii,

469
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: and we hadn't stopped it in flight. What procedures do

470
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: we really have in place? What would we do? I

471
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: think the answer is that very few people would have

472
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: the means, the ability, the lead time to get to

473
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: a safe haven underground. A lot of people would die

474
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: so it's disturbing. It's disturbing. It's a reminder of why

475
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: we need to take all of this so seriously. But

476
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: it's disturbing that we don't have great answers to many

477
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: of these questions right now. So the good news is

478
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 1: there was no ballistic missile going toward Hawaii. And actually

479
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: just got a text message a minutego from Miss Molly.

480
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: She sent me a photo where she is. Hawaii is beautiful.

481
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: Aloha Hawaii. It's a great state. Not great politicians or

482
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: judges out there, but a great state. And I'm gonna

483
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: have to go back out there and check it out.

484
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: Roll into a break here, we're gonna talk a bit

485
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: about the fight that is just getting just getting rolling

486
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: right now because it's a federal holiday, so the government's

487
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: on a break. But the fight over Dacca and the

488
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: debt ceiling this week, where do I think all of

489
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: that is going? Plus this the story about his zase

490
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: On Sorry, who's an actor who's gotten caught up in

491
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: the Me too movement in a way that we're we're

492
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: going to work. We're gonna work through this. We're gonna

493
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: talk with this together because I think we've seen yet

494
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: an yet another instance of someone who is guilty based

495
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: upon accusations in the eye of the public, and in

496
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: this case it's worth even visiting. What are these accusations

497
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: all about. I don't know how many of you know.

498
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: He's a very well known stand up comedian and he

499
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: was in the show Parks and Wreck, which I like

500
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: very much. Somebody wrote a just a a character assassination

501
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: piece about the guy. I don't know if it's true

502
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: or not, but it's it's meant to take him down

503
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: how much I do know. We'll talk about that coming

504
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: up in the next hour. So stay right there, team

505
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: be back. Honestly, I don't think you do want to

506
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: make it feel I think they talked about God, but

507
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: they don't want to help the daughter of people now

508
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: looking to shake and said, it's not the builders, the

509
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: kildre are Gilder. Well, listen, I think you have a

510
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: lot of sticking points, but the roll down agraph taken

511
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: points because we already you will. You can able to

512
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: make a deal, but they don't want to. They don't

513
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: want security as a border to get people pouring in.

514
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: They don't want superior as to border. They don't want

515
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: to stop a drugs and they want to take money

516
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: away from a military's thinking not to do don't throws

517
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: to some of these change the other hurt. Did you

518
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: see what various senators in the room set about my commence?

519
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: They were a man we only didn't very complete. No, No,

520
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a racist. I had the least racist person.

521
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: You have better figured that I can tell you. Are

522
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: you gonna make it feel miser President? I don't know

523
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: that a shut down the should be because it there

524
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: is a military dead. Do you think ability to make

525
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: a deal and that your return and we're ready will

526
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: get able to make a deal on doc But I

527
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: don't think the Democrats want to make a dealt the

528
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: poach from doctors. You know, the Democrats are the ones

529
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: that aren't going to make a deal. Thank you everybody

530
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: hearing yourself, Thank you Democrat version of a deal on DOCCA.

531
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if if you had troublesom that audio was

532
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: not great today. You know that was the best we

533
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: could do, was out in whatever it was, out in

534
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: the gallery or wherever it was. But the Democrat version

535
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: of a deal on DOCCA goes something like this, Uh,

536
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: give us DOCCA and then fund the government the end

537
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: and that's not a deal. This is gonna be very

538
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: interesting because there's really no way, in my mind, there

539
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: is no way that the Trump administration, there's no way

540
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: that the Republicans can lose this argument over DOCCA if

541
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: they stick to the script, if they stay on message,

542
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: because I haven't heard anything that Democrats are willing to

543
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: do to meet them, never mind halfway, just to do

544
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: something in response to what what they want. Right, they

545
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: want DOCCA, and that's the way it's going to be,

546
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: and then everything else has to get funded if the

547
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: GOP goes along with this. By the way, we really

548
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: have to start asking the question, what's the point of

549
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: voting in a lot of these Republicans. Okay, sure they'll

550
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: the tax cuts. Tax cuts are good, that's all. That's

551
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: all fine, But if unrestricted illegal immigration becomes the norm

552
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: for this country, we're gonna have much bigger problems in

553
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: the long run than just what the tax rate is.

554
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: And by the way, I haven't given up yet on

555
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: the notion of a flat tax, are a fair at tax.

556
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm not yet in a place where I'm just gonna say, yeah,

557
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, so I dropped the corporate rates, so everything's

558
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: great now. Yeah, we still pay too much in taxes everybody.

559
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: The I R. S is still a monstrosity. It's still

560
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: far too big, still far too powerful. So there's this

561
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: DOCCA thing, and then there's also they're back and forth

562
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: over the well, why don't I'll hold that? Actually they

563
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, did you hear what Trump's out over

564
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: the weekend? Oh my gosh, Well, not over the weekend,

565
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: but that's what they were saying over the weekend. Are

566
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: It's so terrible. I I want to get to it,

567
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna hold off on that for right now.

568
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: I think that we can stay on the issue of

569
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: DOCA in the dead ceilings. So here's my here's my

570
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: prediction if I can make one. Uh well, actually, you

571
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: know what, No, I'm not as certain this time. I

572
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: was gonna say, they're just gonna kick the can down

573
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: the road. There's not gonna be a shutdown. Maybe there

574
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: will be a shutdown this time because Democrats aren't gonna

575
00:33:54,760 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: budge a Republicans truly hold them to what the initial

576
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: asks were from Trump, border security and to chain migration,

577
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: uh funding for a wall, any of that stuff, particularly

578
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: those two chain migration a wall. Oh e verify should

579
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: really be at the top of that list too. If

580
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: Trump insists on that and the Republican Congress insists on it,

581
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: guess what Democrats won't budge on it. They are absolutists

582
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: on their quasi open borders policy. They're they are absolutists

583
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: on amnesty and then on open borders. You know that

584
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: they want people to have to stop and check in

585
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: so that you know the government is more able to

586
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: give them taxpayer provided services and register them to vote

587
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: for Democrat. But everyone gets to come in and stay right.

588
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: No one should be prevented from going in the United

589
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: States based on the Democrat view. But this is really

590
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: going to force their hand. There's no way that we

591
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 1: get past this point in the debate, in the discussion

592
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: without no ing whether or not one Republicans are serious

593
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: and to our Democrats just completely intransigent. Do they merely demand,

594
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: even in the minority policy concessions from Republicans and get them.

595
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, we should all sit around

596
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: and ask ourselves why, why is that true? Why is

597
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: that happening? So we will see if there's a shutdown,

598
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: though this might be the first time that the X

599
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: factor really comes into play the X factor being Trump.

600
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: With Trump as the Republican Party leader in a shutdown

601
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: center the reason why in the past, despite all the stuff,

602
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, Ted Cruise is really think I want to

603
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: have a shutdown. I mean, you know, despite all that

604
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: stuff in the past, Uh, I mean I like I

605
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: like Takers. I I was supportive of Ted Cruise. Here's

606
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: a little story. I interviewed Ted Cruise when he was

607
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: trying to I did a very nice profile of him

608
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: when he was running in the Republican primary against Dewhurst

609
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: in Texas. But I don't I don't really spend a

610
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: lot of time chasing down politicians to be on on

611
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: this show because I just I don't care all that much.

612
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: If they say something interesting, I'll use the sound bite

613
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: on the show. But interviewing them, I feel like everyone's

614
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: interviewing politicians all the time. I don't. I don't find

615
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: it that worthwhile away for us to spend our time here.

616
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was with Ted Cruise really on. I

617
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: did always think it was funny though, that some people

618
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: figured out in time that Ted Cruise only had one

619
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: speed and it was Constitution. I love the Constitution. I

620
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: was having my quarter Fleix yesterday, and it was as

621
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: though George Washington and John Adams were right there with

622
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: me with the Constitution. You know, he's very he's got

623
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: one speed. He's a good guy, smart guy, but not

624
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: a charming guy at the national political level. And that

625
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: was one of his problems. Trump. Trump can fight, Trump

626
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: can charm. Trump has all kinds of speeds. And if this,

627
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: and the reason this matters so much, is that the

628
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: dead ceiling fight turns if it turns into a government shutdown,

629
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: that is a public perception battle. Who's responsible for the shutdown?

630
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: Or a better way of saying it is, why are

631
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: we in this situation right now? Who gets blamed for

632
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: the shutdown? And in the past it had always been

633
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: Republicans are gonna get blamed. Republicans are gonna get blamed

634
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: if we go into a government shutdown scenario because Democrats

635
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: say they want DOCCA and will give nothing in exchange.

636
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: And Trump is out there banging the drum, so to speak,

637
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: you know, making a lot of noise, making sure that

638
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: everyone understands what's going on here. Maybe Republicans will have

639
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: some stiffened spines and realize that they're the majority party,

640
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: right now they should be able to inact laws and policy,

641
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: and it shouldn't be dictated to them by the Democrats

642
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: who just get to sit there and say, now, I

643
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: don't want that, Noah, unacceptable, unacceptable. I would also note

644
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: that DOCCA is a trojan horse for much of the

645
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: rest of the Democrat amnesty and I have concerns about

646
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: whether the Republicans should give into DACA in any way,

647
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: shape or form. Here. I know that's a little intense

648
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: for some people, but I could work through why that

649
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: is for you curious eight four eight to five eight

650
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: four four nine buck our two is upon us. So

651
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: if you're right back, he's back with you now, because

652
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck

653
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: never stops. Welcome to the Buck, Sex and Show, everybody.

654
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Buck section show from any of you.

655
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 1: So I was just talking about policy before. What should

656
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: we do on immigration? What should be about DOCCA? I

657
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: don't know why Republicans feel like they have to give in.

658
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: Don't we have the majority in the House, the Senate,

659
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: doesn't Trump have the White House. Why why are we

660
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: just talking about doing what the Democrats want? I am

661
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: hoping that there will be a reckoning within the GOP

662
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: and a reckoning for Democrats that they do not have

663
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: to do with the other side tells them to. But

664
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: you can see where Democrats are going with all this,

665
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: the comments about a a whole. I keep saying craphole

666
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: because I believe it was somebody was on air over

667
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: the weekend. I forget it was now who said who

668
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: used the letter s and then also instad of that

669
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: hole and then people said it sounded like something else,

670
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: And so I'm not gonna pull the CNN here and

671
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: just start cursing up the joint. That's not okay. Let's

672
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: see an end love doing that last week. But they

673
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: were talking about this all weekend and it was clearly

674
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: something of a competition among the various pundits posing as

675
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: journalists at CNN and be like, oh my gosh, I'll

676
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: get Trump saying this. It's the most it's the sadest thing.

677
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: It's like these like these countries are amazing, and like

678
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: every country is equally amazing, and like, you know, that's

679
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: a good way to look. They add zeros, add zeros

680
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: the contract. I'm sure you know they get they get

681
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: a bigger check at the next negotiation for their contract

682
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: if they they play the game just right over there, right,

683
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: Trump is like, such a racist. I go home at

684
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: nine nine nightmares because it's such a racist. A lot

685
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: of that, a lot of that going on over there,

686
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, the left is there's a

687
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: lot of weeks week sauce. I'll just put it that

688
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: with a lot of week sauce. You had John Berman. Hi,

689
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: John Berman. He's over there and and he got a

690
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: little he got a little feisty over this whole thing.

691
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: He's a see the way, you're like, who's John Berman?

692
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: You don't have to know, but he works at CNN. So, Josh,

693
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm tempted to say that Republican Senators Perdue and Cotton

694
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: are going on TV denying the comments were said, and

695
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: they're hanging it on the difference between a blank hole

696
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: and a blank house. One might reasonably ask, are you

697
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: effing and kidding me? Well, I'm not going to to

698
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: to get into that. There there you have it. Yeah,

699
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: the Republicans are the ones that are are so great.

700
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: Trump is the one that's causing all the problems here

701
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 1: because he said some some crappy countries are actually crappy.

702
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: He didn't say that we we've made this distinction right away.

703
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: He didn't say the people were crappy. Okay, that would

704
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: be wrong. That's not that's not okay, that's not right.

705
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: So the countries are and there are crappy countries, I said.

706
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: I didn't hear many people making this argument. I think

707
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 1: it's a good one. If I said North Korea was crappy,

708
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: no one's gonna say, oh, book, that's so racist. No,

709
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: South Korea is great, right, I mean, it's not about

710
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: Korean people or Asian people anything else. North Koreai is

711
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 1: a bad country. In fact, I think the crappy country

712
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: debate can. I think a great way to look at

713
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: it is to look at the Korean peninsula. Right. It's

714
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: about the country, not the people, not the way they look,

715
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: not the ethnicity they're religious, back or anything else. We're

716
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: just talking about the country here. North Korea very crappy.

717
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: South Korea great. Difference of government, difference of state. That's it.

718
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: So it's not about being mean or nasty or undermining

719
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: anyway or you know. I mean, I'm I'm from New

720
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: York City, and I mean I would say there are

721
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: parts of New York City that are crappy, A lot

722
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: less crappy now than they used to be. But there

723
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: are parts of the city they're crappy. I mean, I

724
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: live here, I can say it was. What's the problem.

725
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: There's some parts with that are wonderful. Right, it depends.

726
00:42:54,360 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: But a plane spoken and dare I say, blunt residency

727
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: on issues that so many of us feel like we've

728
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: had to dance around for such a long time is

729
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: refreshing Trump. I have not met a single I said this.

730
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: When I say met, I haven't spoken to a single

731
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: Trump supporter who after those comments like, oh my gosh,

732
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: that's too much for me, sir, how dare you now

733
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: there's none of that. They're like, yeah, I mean, you know,

734
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: maybe maybe be a little more cautious about what you

735
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: say in front of uh Durban. But Trump is saying,

736
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: by the way, that Durban lied. Here's his tweet Senator

737
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: Dicky Durbin, Oh, is that is that another nickname? Have we?

738
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: Has he been dubbed? Has the has the derbs been

739
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: dubbed Dicky Durban? Look at that. Senator Dicky Durbin totally

740
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: misrepresented what was said at the Docka meeting. Trump tweeted

741
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: deals can't get made when there is no trust Durban

742
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 1: Ludaca and is hurting our military. So Trump is saying

743
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: that it's not true. And then they got on this

744
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: fight over the specifics of the words. You know, they're

745
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: not allowed to say on Thursday or Friday whenever it

746
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: broke Democrats and not allowed to say, Oh my gosh,

747
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: did you hear the words that he said? It was

748
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: like so upsetting, like the words he used, like I

749
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: was just like, oh my gosh, like I'm so sad.

750
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,439
Speaker 1: And then when Trump says, well, actually didn't use those words,

751
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: they go, well, excuse me, mister, write and use those words.

752
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: But it's not the words. Well is it the words

753
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: or not? Is it? Was it the profanity or the

754
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: sentiment if it's a sentiment, if it's just criticizing the countries.

755
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: There are countries that deserve criticism. They're also countries that

756
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: are just in a very desperate situation because of stuff

757
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: that's happened to the to the country. Right, I mean,

758
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: natural disaster is different than say, you know, a bloody

759
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: reign of narco terrorism or something. But you know, bad

760
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: things happen in in good in good countries, bad things

761
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: happen to good people. The media freaking on this. It's

762
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: just the divide between people that don't want to hear

763
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: it anymore about how much the left hates Trump and

764
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: the people who just want Trump hatre It just gets

765
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger all the time. I don't even want

766
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: to have a conversation with some of these people out

767
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: there in the media, particularly because I come across them,

768
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: We're just like, oh gosh, Trump is the worst. It's

769
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: just any day now. And I was like, any day now,

770
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: what any day now? What Trump's gonna He's gonna tweet

771
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: something offensive? Oh No, maybe there should stop and just

772
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: think it's possible Democrats leftist. It's possible that all that

773
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: uh flowery rhetoric from the Obama administration, all of his

774
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: uh pseudo intellectual prose about policy, was meaningless. Maybe it

775
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 1: doesn't matter quite as much as so many seemed to

776
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: think it does to have a president who sounds like

777
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: he knows what's going on right. The perception of eloquence

778
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: is much less important than the reality of policy. Trump

779
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: is giving us the reality of policy. I don't really

780
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 1: care much about the tone. People can complain about it. Sure,

781
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: I sometimes say I wish he would say things a

782
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: little bit differently, but you know, I'm not expecting him

783
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: to be perfect. He's not perfect. We know that it's

784
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: far from it. But nobody would think that that was

785
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: a fair gauge, a fair standard for what's going on here.

786
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: They just though they just hate this guy. By the way,

787
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: you even had Alveda King come out on Fox News

788
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 1: to say that it is outrageous who called Trump a racist?

789
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: What is so outrageous to call a man a racist

790
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: who continues to acknowledge the significant work of Dr Martin

791
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: Luther King Junior, Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Junior, my

792
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: uncle in a positive way, and he puts his money

793
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: where his mouth is, he puts his energy behind it

794
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: and in making America great again, you know, perhaps saying

795
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: that in Haiti and in Africa, so you know, Africa

796
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: is a huge continent with many nations, that was no

797
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: offense to the people, a lot of dignity to the people.

798
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: But the hell holes in that some of their own

799
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: leaders in Africa and Haiti have have taken advantage of

800
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: them and the area and done a disservice to the people.

801
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: Yet they're all running around in the media saying Trump

802
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: is such a racist. I can tell you one thing,

803
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: Trump is not a racist. There are plenty of places

804
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: where one could direct criticism of Trump personally or professional.

805
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: Otherwise I'd say, well, you know, it's a that's a

806
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: fair critique. Trump is not a racist. And the more

807
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: the media latches onto that as their primary method of

808
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: pushing back against this this presidency, I think I don't

809
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: know how much more trust they can lose, because I

810
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: don't know if we trust them at all. But it

811
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: is it is frustrating. It is frustrating, and you know,

812
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: for the president to have say things like this, I'm

813
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: not a racist, it's a shame that the media perpetuates

814
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: all this. It's a shame the TV journalists go on

815
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 1: air and tell their viewers that the President United States

816
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: is a racist, the President United States hates or thinks

817
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: less of, or treats people differently because of the color

818
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: of their skin. They have no evidence of this whatsoever.

819
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: They just have statements that they don't like. They don't

820
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: understand that many of us have rejected the culture of

821
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: calling everything racist that we don't like that has existed

822
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: on the American left for so many years. That the

823
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: hypersensitivity around issues of race has been counterproductive, and then

824
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: we rejected. They don't accept any of this, the laft,

825
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: the Democrats, the media, but we don't have to accept

826
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: server of events either. It's a shame. The president should

827
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: be able to focus on other things, but they would

828
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: rather just continue to debate racism. All right, we'll take

829
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: uh if you want to call in talk about what

830
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: you think about DACA or Trump or anything else going

831
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: on in that world. Eight four four, eight to five.

832
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: I've kind of talking about this as he's on, sorry

833
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: thing because it ties right into the Me Too movement

834
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: in a way that deserves some of our attention. And

835
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: we'll have much more Buck, and we'll be right back

836
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,959
Speaker 1: fake news better running high because the Buck Sexton Show

837
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: is back. Gary in Biloxi, Mississippi. Gary, welcome to the

838
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. Yes, but thank you for turking my call, buddy.

839
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: Thank you. I hope that they don't do anything but

840
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: get these people from Daka out of here, because all

841
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: that's nothing but a big fraud. And they've had a

842
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: lot of people on t V that's explained who they

843
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: are and why they're doing this. The other thing, Buck

844
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: is I'm wanting to shout out to Jeff Sessions in

845
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: Washington to do how about enforcing the law, because we

846
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: are being flooded the Southeastern states with the illegals and

847
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: the body they bringing everybody with them, everybody, but there's

848
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: never any enforcement. I mean, I don't care how many

849
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: people you speak to. Nobody ever sees nobody being checked out,

850
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: nobody's going through their house, nobody's checked I mean, you

851
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: you know who they are. And just like, for example,

852
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: in walmarts, I mean you can talk to some of

853
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: the employees there, man, and it's just it's just crazy.

854
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean, where where's all these people? And so finally

855
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: one of the one of the employees there said that

856
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: they think there's gonna be an amnesty. Well they they're

857
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: right in thinking that, because that's what Democrats are promising everybody.

858
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,919
Speaker 1: Well yes, but I mean you know there's nothing being done,

859
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: no bucks what I'm saying, Oh of course, Well there's

860
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: no political will Gary from for the no political will

861
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: for the Democrats, in fact, the opposite of it, to

862
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: enforce the law. And let's be very clear, there are

863
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans are not just okay with the

864
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: status quo. They really secretly favorite. You know, they like

865
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: they like the inexpensive labor. It's good for corporate interests,

866
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: good for the donor class, and that's a big problem.

867
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 1: Doesn't get much attention. That's my other point book. Paul

868
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: Ryan should be run out of town and all his buddies,

869
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: his close buddies, like the guy that hangs with him,

870
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: all of tame. They're not Republicans, they're not conservatives. They're

871
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: just a ryhano I would say. The communists. Really, they're

872
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: coming there. There's a lot of rhine. I can accept. Commune.

873
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: Maybe a little far there, Gary, but I know where

874
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: I think I know where your heart is on this one.

875
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: But he needs to go. He needs to gool man.

876
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean, people should realize that. I've heard some people,

877
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: intelligent people, talking to some of these other people on

878
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: the on their shows, and they got Ryan picked out too.

879
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: They know what he is. He's a fraud and a phony.

880
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: Well he's on immigration, Gary, And thank you so much

881
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: for your calling from Missisippi. I appreciated my friend on immigration.

882
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: Ryan's terrible. He takes this point of view. I've been

883
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: exposed to it from friends of mine who are from

884
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: the more libertarian side. Uh. He takes this point of

885
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: view that if you just bring in more and more labor,

886
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,720
Speaker 1: there's more productivity GDP growth and it's good for everybody.

887
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: But if that were the case, why have any immigration laws.

888
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: You know, you can just reason your way through why

889
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: you're or how and why you're being lied to about

890
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: immigration all the time. If I'm restricting And there are

891
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: people the Cato Institute, for example, it's a libertarian think

892
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: tank in DC. Uh, there's one guy forget his name,

893
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: He goes on TV sometimes and it's just he's a

894
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: hardliner on open borders and he's a libertarian. And I

895
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: would say, oh, but you know, the more people we

896
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: take in, the better it is for the economy. And

897
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: you say to yourself, hold on a second, we're twenty

898
00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: We're twenty in debt, mostly because of obligation sens to seniors. Right.

899
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: That's the biggest single driver of the dead is entitlements.

900
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,399
Speaker 1: And the unfortunate truth is that a lot of people

901
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: are going to take out about twice what they paid

902
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: into medicare over the course of their life once they

903
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: are eligible for medicare, which means you're getting more money

904
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: than you gave, which means somebody else is going to

905
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: have to pay for the money. Right, somebody else has

906
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: got to pick up those expenses. How is bringing in

907
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: people who are even less productive and less likely to

908
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: be net contributors to society? How is that going to

909
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: help this situation? So you can't tell me that open

910
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 1: borders is a good thing and the welfare state can

911
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: stay as is. You can't tell me that open borders

912
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: is a good thing and the entitlement state that we

913
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: have can stay. And this is what all the Paul

914
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: Ryan's and the Cato that they never addressed this. And

915
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: then there's an even and that's just on a purely

916
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: economic level. When you go to the more recent debate,

917
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: it's about what is it due to a country when

918
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: you reach a critical massive individuals who are there illegally

919
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: or even legally, but just who are new immigrants in

920
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: very large numbers from countries that are culturally quite desparate.

921
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: You know, this kind of reminds me of the whole

922
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: crappy country conversation. I think that there are Democrats who

923
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: will tell you that culturally the United Kingdom is, you know,

924
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: people from the UK are not culturally more able to

925
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: assimilate in the United States than say people from Somalia

926
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: or people from North Korea or you know, name a country.

927
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: They say, oh, no, no, no, you can't say that.

928
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: You can't say that their cultures aren't. Of course, that's nonsense, right,

929
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: some cultures are more similar to ours than others when

930
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: you take in large numbers of immigrants from cultures that

931
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 1: not just are dissimilar, but that clash with ours. And yes,

932
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: this is what Europe is dealing with with the large

933
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: numbers of Muslim immigrants from war torn, in many cases,

934
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: very poor, very violent countries. You know you're you're importing

935
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: in large numbers people who are disproportionately going to have

936
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 1: certain attitudes, beliefs, and yes, problems. It doesn't mean everyone.

937
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: It just means policy needs to be a function or

938
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: you need to view policy in the aggregate based on

939
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 1: the overall numbers. Right, we make laws not with the

940
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: idea that each and every individual human being that maybe

941
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: gets caught up in a certain law is a bad person.

942
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: But look, we got we gotta make laws, we gotta

943
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: have punishments. On balance, are some people going to get

944
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: in trouble because they violate certain laws? Even though they

945
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: are otherwise good people. Yes, sure, but if our approach

946
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:58,879
Speaker 1: is just well, you know, everyone makes mistakes, there's no will,

947
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: there's no desire to enforce the law. What are we

948
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: left with as a country. And it's true of our borders,

949
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,919
Speaker 1: and it's true of our sense of self to whether

950
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: we have a political culture that can be sustained. You know,

951
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: you look at Canada for example, Hey Canada, what's up?

952
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: You look at Canada that they free speeches is dying

953
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: in Canada and it's happening rapidly, free speech going away.

954
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 1: How far is that from happening here? Once free speech goes,

955
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: I would note, then anything, then anything is really up

956
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: for grabs. Then they could push any number of things

957
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: on you. So James in Newport News, Virginia, what's up, James? Hi? Um?

958
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: I just wanted to call. I was for military and

959
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,800
Speaker 1: wasn't uncommon if you got a duty station that was

960
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 1: not in a good place, like it was remote and

961
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: it was not a whole lot of services there. You know,

962
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, we would call. So I would ask you

963
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: what do you think about? You would say it's an

964
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: S whole or an A whole. I mean, it's that

965
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: language has nothing to do as the people that live there. Um.

966
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: It has totally to do with, uh, the situation about

967
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: living here. And if anybody wants to argue that Somalia

968
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: is a hard place, you know, I'm guess hiving an

969
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: example having against Somalia is is not a bad place,

970
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: a hard place to live in, um or a place

971
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't want to live. I don't know how

972
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: they can make that argument, but UM, I guess that's

973
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: one thing I wanted and um to talk about. And

974
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: then I guess the other was just you know, I

975
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: think Trump needs to to speak more to these issues,

976
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: uh around racism. First, his seven years old, right, I mean, uh,

977
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: anyone ever called him a racist when he was you know, anywhere,

978
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: know when he was working in media, when he was

979
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: in New York City and a very public figure. No

980
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: one ever thought he was a racist until he ran

981
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: as a Republican, right, like a New York Liberal is

982
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: probably not a racist, particularly if he's in business. No,

983
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: I doubt it. And I guess the other thing is, um,

984
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: what he was trying to stay with this statement? What

985
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: do you you know? They he needs to talk about

986
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: his his plan for America and He's talked about trying

987
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: to alleviate the poverty in the cities, and they're giving

988
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,439
Speaker 1: those people opportunities just like other Americans. I'm with you, James,

989
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: We've got to ruling to break though. Thank you, my friend.

990
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: Team will be back with much more other shows. Just

991
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: talk at you in the Freedom hund We have a mission.

992
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: We fight for the truth in a team effort, and

993
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: buck us back with our next play team. You know

994
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: that four months now I've been warning about the inevitable

995
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: excesses injustices and politicization of the me too movement. I

996
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: knew it would happen, and it is already happening. You

997
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: had some very odious sexual predators who were thankfully outed

998
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: and received at least some measure of justice, or perhaps

999
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: they're they're victims, received some as a measure of justice

1000
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: by the public humiliation of individuals who clearly were acting

1001
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: and atrocious and maybe even a felony criminal fashion. But

1002
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: there are other people who have been in trouble, and

1003
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: you say, we'll wait a second, what exactly did they

1004
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: do here? And the commentary around some of the very

1005
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: big cases of the me too movement has been troubling,

1006
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: not all of it, but some of it you'll hear

1007
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: things like, well, we we need to make sure that

1008
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: men don't ask women out in the workplace anymore. Is

1009
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: that is that the rule is that the world we

1010
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: want to live in now men can't lean in for

1011
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: a kiss without asking permission first. Is that the world

1012
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: that we're trying to construct, is that the America we

1013
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: think is best? I know you know that, of course not.

1014
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: But Democrats don't necessarily understand that at all leftists. It's

1015
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: really more leftists than anything else. Democrats are leftists. But

1016
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: this is within uh, a contingent. This is a contingent

1017
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: of the Democrat party. And then this piece came out

1018
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: about a Zas on Sorry and Now I'm I'm familiar

1019
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: with his work. I've seen him as a stand up

1020
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: comedian briefly on one of his specials. He was not funny,

1021
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: but he was very good in the show Parks and Recreation, which,

1022
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: for those who haven't seen it, you should watch it.

1023
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: It's really great, very well written, very funny, but started

1024
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: season two because they change some things. The first season

1025
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: is not good. It's like a bad version of the Office.

1026
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: The second season it really comes into its own as

1027
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: a show should just skip the first season. You don't

1028
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: need to see it. Go to season two. It's on Netflix.

1029
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: Something else as he's on. Sorry, is already good in

1030
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: the show, so you know he's he's a pretty talented actor.

1031
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: He's a young guy. He's close to my age, and

1032
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: over the weekend a and he's I feel like, I

1033
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: don't know how many of you know him, but he's

1034
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: he's pretty famous, pretty well known, particularly and well among

1035
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: among media types. He's very well known. He wrote a

1036
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: book I think also was a bestseller about romance called

1037
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: Modern Romance, and it was an international bestseller, so or

1038
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: whoever wrote it for him did a very good job. Anyway,

1039
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: A woman claimed in a piece over the weekend for

1040
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: what I believe is a feminist website called Babe, which

1041
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: is I guess there's a there's some I don't know

1042
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: why that that doesn't seem like what you would call

1043
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: a feminist website necessarily, but a feminist website called babe.

1044
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: And this woman claimed that his easy. She's a young

1045
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: photographer twenty three years old, or she was twenty two

1046
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 1: at the time, Um, he was thirty something, and not

1047
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 1: that that doesn't it's just a detail, right, doesn't mean

1048
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: she's completely of age and she's an adult and everything's fine, right,

1049
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: But anyway, just trying to give you some of the context.

1050
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: And she saw him and they I'm gonna skip because

1051
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: it's it was a tough read because she gives you

1052
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: every she changes her name, so it's an anonymous accusation

1053
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: in print against an actor where she walks you through

1054
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: every detail of what she says happened in this one

1055
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: night was supposed to be something of a well. Mr

1056
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: on Sarry. He was trying to make it an amorous evening,

1057
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: that's one way to say it. And so she met

1058
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: him and then they end up going out for dinner.

1059
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: They exchanged phone numbers, you know, etcetera, etcetera. The night

1060
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: in question, she called it. The title of this piece,

1061
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: you wrotis I went a date with his ease. I'm

1062
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: sorry it turned into the worst night of my life.

1063
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,439
Speaker 1: Now I'm thinking that, you know, well, wow, this must

1064
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: be really terrible. I'm expecting to read in here that

1065
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: disease I'm sorry, was uh yeah, slip something into her

1066
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: drink and she woke up with no clothing on. I mean,

1067
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm assuming I'm gonna read some truly horrible stuff.

1068
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: And I, like a lot of other people, this piece

1069
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: one totally viral over the weekend, and I did take

1070
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: a short break from my crusades research for Shields High

1071
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: the podcast that I'm hoping all of you listening to

1072
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 1: the show will download on iTunes today, UH, to read

1073
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: this piece. And the woman walks through a whole series

1074
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: of events from the in in every detail, you know,

1075
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: whether it's all accurate or not, I'm just saying. She

1076
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: goes into excruising detail. You know, he put his hand here,

1077
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: he touched me here, he said this to me then

1078
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: and he put me up on the counter, and then

1079
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: he tried to do X to me, and I tried

1080
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: and I and he goes through all this and at

1081
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: the end of it, it's clear that she's unhappy with

1082
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: the situation. But she says that that she had it

1083
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: took her wealth fair that she'd been sexually assaulted. And

1084
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: what's amazing to many people, and and finally you've had

1085
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: something of a a backlash against this anonymous assault. What's

1086
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: amazing here is that this woman or this anonymous accusation

1087
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: of sexual assault, UH, from everything that was apparent in

1088
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: the article. Just didn't like what was going on, and

1089
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: I saw a woman in the Atlantic called this a

1090
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: form of revenge porn against disease on sorry, just meant

1091
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: to humiliate and degrade him. He never used force against her.

1092
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: When she said I don't want to do that, he

1093
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: said okay, and they went and put their clothing on

1094
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: and sat on the couch. You know, the there's a

1095
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: difference between gross and criminal, or there's a difference between

1096
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 1: uh on gallant or you know, maybe even a little

1097
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: sleazy and being a predator. And this is a very

1098
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: important one that society needs to be clear on. Right.

1099
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: We need to have an understanding of it's not the

1100
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: same thing leaning in for a kiss and then if

1101
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: you don't get it, saying oh whatever, I don't want

1102
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: to kiss you anyway, that's a jerk thing to do.

1103
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't make you a rapist, right, we all understand this.

1104
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: Barry Weiss over the New York Times, in response to

1105
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: this piece, wrote this quote, I'm apparently the victim of

1106
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,479
Speaker 1: sexual assault. And if if you're a sexually active woman

1107
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: in the twenty one century, chances are that you are too.

1108
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: That is what I learned from the expose a of

1109
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: disease on Sorry, published this weekend by the feminist website Babe,

1110
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: arguably the worst thing that has happened to the Me

1111
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: Too movement since it began in October. It transforms what

1112
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: ought to be a movement for women's empowerment into an

1113
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: emblem for female helplessness. The victim in this three thousand

1114
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: words stories called Grace, not her real name, and her

1115
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: saga with Mr Ansarry began at a seventeen Emmy's after party.

1116
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: As recounted by Grace to the reporter Katie Way, she

1117
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 1: approached him, but he brushed her off at first. Then

1118
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: they bonded over their vintage cameras, etcetera, etcetera. After arriving

1119
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: at his Tribeca apartment on the appointed evening, she was excited,

1120
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: having carefully chosen her outfit after consulting with friends. They

1121
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: exchanged small talk and drank wine. It was white, she said,

1122
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: I didn't get to choose and I prefer red, but

1123
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: it was white wine. Yes, we are apparently meant to

1124
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: read into the non consensual wine choice. There is a

1125
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: type of young So that's the quote from Barry Weiss,

1126
01:06:56,080 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: who female editorial columns for the New York Times. There

1127
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: is a type of young millennial feminists out there now

1128
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: that has embraced this idea that men are a problem,

1129
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: and that men have to be curtailed, tamed, shamed, punished,

1130
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: and the men are the cause of so many of

1131
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: the problems in women's lives these days. Their minds have

1132
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 1: been poisoned. I mean, I've actually come across them before.

1133
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: I've come across near peers of mind who are just

1134
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: so bitter towards men in general, not to one man,

1135
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: towards men, and blame many of their problems on those

1136
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: men or on men in general, And it just exudes

1137
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 1: from them. You're you're very aware of it all the time,

1138
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: and they have these feminist ideas and philosophies about how

1139
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, rape is always is always an act of force,

1140
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: and and sexual all happens to everybody all the time,

1141
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: and men are all predators. You just have to give

1142
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 1: them enough drinks before you see it. I mean, there's

1143
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: all this stuff. It comes out that they believe that

1144
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: campuses are so dangerous, there's a campus rape frenzy out

1145
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: there at all this it's not true. Statistics prove it's

1146
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 1: not true. My own lived reality on Compass Compass campus

1147
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: as a resident advisor who we call it resident counselor,

1148
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 1: who was very familiar with all the on campus statistics

1149
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: and cases and everything else we all knew about whenever

1150
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: anything went bad. Stuff goes bad, but it was rare

1151
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: and if anyone knew about it, it was very severely punished.

1152
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there are predators, it's just the difference between

1153
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: there are predators and or or whatever of all men

1154
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: are predators, and some women have been brainwashed into thinking this,

1155
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,480
Speaker 1: particularly young women right now. I mean, the the feminists

1156
01:08:54,800 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: of the Hillary Clinton era have further polluted them lines

1157
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: of the elder millennial feminists that that I'm personally familiar with,

1158
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: who are just hateful towards men. This whole I almost

1159
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: I hesitated to tell you to read this piece by

1160
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: his he on his ease, and not by on his ease.

1161
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry and this exchange because I feel like it

1162
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: almost makes the problem worse and that more people. This

1163
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: guy is just getting humiliated. And there's also something really

1164
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 1: grotesque about writing about a personal encounter like this that

1165
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: was not criminal. This guy based on all of the

1166
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: based on everything that was written here in this article,

1167
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: he did nothing criminal and and honestly not even close.

1168
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: She got mad at him in a text message after

1169
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: this because she said that he did not understand her

1170
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: nonverbal cues. Well, what is that supposed to me? You're

1171
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 1: an adult, You're in an apartment with somebody who's sexually

1172
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: interested in you. You are not incapacitated. She wasn't saying

1173
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: she couldn't consent because she was too drunk anything else.

1174
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: You can use your words. You could say I don't

1175
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: want to do this, you could say stop, you could

1176
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 1: say I'm leaving, and then you know the moment someone

1177
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: grabs your wrist and says, no, you're not anything else. Well,

1178
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: now we got a problem. Now we got a predator.

1179
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 1: Now we've got to take action as a society. And

1180
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a male that happens to be

1181
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: in the woman's life who has been assaulted in such

1182
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: a way, you know you may be taking action on

1183
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: your own. But up to that point, it's up to her.

1184
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 1: Meaning that you know, she's got to say no, I

1185
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 1: don't want to do that, I'm gonna leave, don't do that.

1186
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in that. She can't just sit there

1187
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 1: and let a guy do things that he wants to

1188
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: do and then say afterwards, you didn't read my nonverbal cues,

1189
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, I would note that, yeah, there can be

1190
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: physical cues too. She didn't push him away, she didn't

1191
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: say no, She just kind of let him do stuff

1192
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:58,720
Speaker 1: and then stopped him at one point, and when she

1193
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,719
Speaker 1: said stop, he stopped. And she's accusing him in print

1194
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: of sexual assault and humiliating him by saying, you know,

1195
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 1: embarrassing things that he said to her. You know, there's

1196
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: private stuff that everybody says to people in there, you know, yeah,

1197
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: what is it inflict? Rante de looked at whatever. I mean,

1198
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: people say things. This is uh, this is troubling. I mean,

1199
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 1: this is now. This is not turning into a a

1200
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 1: very destructive form of of political sport for some feminists

1201
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: and it needs to stop. And I look, I feel

1202
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: I don't know as he's on. Sorry, I'm sure we

1203
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: would disagree on on everything pretty much based on what

1204
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: I have heard of his politics, and he might be

1205
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: he comes across like kind of a jerk in this article.

1206
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's not a jerk. I'm just saying

1207
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 1: to call him uh a effectively call him a rapist,

1208
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 1: which this article does or an attempted rapist, even though

1209
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: he didn't attempt to rape anything or anyone is this

1210
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: is scary stuff. I mean, any guy, I gotta say,

1211
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: any young guy out there who's unmarried and out on

1212
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: the scene, you might want to read this and just

1213
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 1: be aware that this is not this mentality has now

1214
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: been aggravated. This this hyper feminist anti mail. You didn't

1215
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 1: read my nonverbal cues, so you're a rapist and I'm

1216
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: gonna publicly call you that or sexual assaulter. Now that's

1217
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: out there. Guys, you know you gotta be careful because

1218
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 1: they're getting the media running arounds like, oh yeah, that's right,

1219
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: me too. Every women need to be believing. I mean,

1220
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: this is all happening. There's a mobilization here of a

1221
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:34,600
Speaker 1: mob mentality, and a lot of innocent guys are going

1222
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 1: to get ruined by it too. And it's already happening. Yeah,

1223
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 1: a lot of bad ones have but a lot of

1224
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: innocent ones are going to as well. All right, I've

1225
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: got lines lit. We gotta take some calls. We'll be

1226
01:12:42,520 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: right back. Chuck in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Chuck, you're talking

1227
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 1: to Buck? Hey, Buck, how's it gone. It's good brother,

1228
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling in excellent. Say, could I make

1229
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: just one fast comment about the Hawaii situation? Yeah, you

1230
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 1: can make a medium link comment about it if you

1231
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 1: want a right Well, actually it can be done in one,

1232
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: well two words, I guess MAUI WOWI Oh what is that? Uh?

1233
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 1: That's one of those strains of high altitude pot that

1234
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: they grow over. Oh I was unaware of that we're

1235
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: dealing with. This could just be like there was a

1236
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: movie apocalypse WAU or something like that. Uh, you know

1237
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: where people just made a lot of mistakes and whoops.

1238
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: I was high. That's a whoops apocalypse. There's what we're

1239
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 1: dealing with out there. But that's really not the main point. Okay, Yeah,

1240
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,600
Speaker 1: what is the main point? Chuck? Yeah, what I'd like

1241
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 1: to talk to you about it is something that's really

1242
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 1: been on my mind for quite some time, and that

1243
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 1: is we always talk about the founders not paying attention

1244
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: to are not being aware of machine guns in the

1245
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: second amendments out of step, But what they forget about

1246
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: is that I think that these guys really didn't foresee

1247
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: and couldn't have foreseen these info entertainment giants that have

1248
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: come on the scene that control so much of what

1249
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 1: we see in both entertainment and news. And that's why, um,

1250
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: you make the point about I can't think of her

1251
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: name from Hawaii gets to come on air and say

1252
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: idiotic is because she's totally covered. She does not have

1253
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: to fear that under Spiek and some of these other

1254
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 1: guys that made these morning shows, she would have been

1255
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 1: that would have been a career ending statement. And likewise,

1256
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:53,560
Speaker 1: on the uh, the immigration, we're not getting good information,

1257
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: So how do we fight back? Well, an immigration you

1258
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: fight back by listening to this show is a good start.

1259
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: But also you would hope that the Republican Congress that

1260
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 1: we just elected the last in the last national election,

1261
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 1: we'll actually get some results this year. And that's the

1262
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:14,560
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to work. There's only so much you

1263
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: and I Chuck can do. Right. We can learn about it,

1264
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 1: we can know about it, we can spread the word,

1265
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: but we don't actually have any power to change immigration

1266
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: policy in this country. So we can hope that the

1267
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 1: Republican Congress gets it together. We can push them to

1268
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: do so. We can spread the word and the truth

1269
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: and that's what we do. But on immigration, it I

1270
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 1: am um, I am a skeptic about the GOP doing

1271
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 1: what needs to be done on immigration. But Chuck, thank

1272
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: you for calling in from Michigan. Very much appreciate hearing

1273
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: from your brother. Thank you. Yeah. I would like to

1274
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 1: say that I'm, you know what, cautiously optimistic or something

1275
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 1: on immigration, but I just can't. I there are too

1276
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:56,799
Speaker 1: many ways that it goes bad with with the GOP.

1277
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Too many Republicans who just prefer, well, they prefer to

1278
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,640
Speaker 1: say one thing when they have to get elected and

1279
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: then do another when it comes to casting their votes

1280
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 1: on immigration. And you know, it's isn't it isn't an

1281
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,719
Speaker 1: astonishing that we're in a country that takes in a million,

1282
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 1: that that brings in a million legal permanent immigrants a

1283
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: year or makes them permanent a year. We have a

1284
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 1: million new permanent residents of this country each year from

1285
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: outside of America, and we have to get lectures from

1286
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: arrow media about how we're xenophobic or because we want

1287
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 1: to get rid of the chain chain migration or the

1288
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 1: diversity lottery system, we're all bad people or something. It's

1289
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 1: it's a sign of the times. Unfortunately've lost it. We're

1290
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 1: gonna talk about currency and Currency Wars. In just a

1291
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: few moments here, let me ask you this question. We'll

1292
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 1: set us up for what's coming up next. What would

1293
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 1: happen if China dumped all of our U S treasury bonds?

1294
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: So far, it has been a very strong year for

1295
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: the US economy, and many people are looking back on

1296
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 1: President Trump's first year in office and thinking that it's

1297
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:09,879
Speaker 1: been excellent for markets, and for employment and for business.

1298
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 1: But what would happen if China decided that it wasn't

1299
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 1: going to keep buying US treasuries. That's a story that's

1300
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 1: been printed by numerous news outlets in the last week

1301
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 1: or so. Hasving gotten that much attention, but it could

1302
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 1: be a really big deal. Well, to help us look

1303
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: at what it would mean, we've got New York Times

1304
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: bestselling author James Rickard's on the phone. He is the

1305
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: author of Currency Wars, The Making of the Next Global Crisis. James,

1306
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: Great to have you, Great to be with you, Buck, James,

1307
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 1: tell me what would happen? Let's just start with that

1308
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 1: before we get into more of the thesis of your

1309
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 1: of your book. What would happen if China decided to

1310
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: stop buying US treasures? Well? At the March, and they're

1311
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: the largest fignholder of US Treasury's actually the print The

1312
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 1: people with the most treasuries are the US Federal Reserve.

1313
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: Sal print money. When they print money, they buy US treasury.

1314
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: So they've got about four trillion on their books, but

1315
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: China has over one trillion. So between the FED and China,

1316
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: you've got five trillion dollars of the total twenty trillion

1317
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: dollars of US national death. So China's huge player. At

1318
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 1: the margin. It would tend to make interest rates go higher.

1319
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: That means every day Americans would pay more for their mortgages,

1320
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: credit card rates would go up, and we definitely have

1321
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: a slowing effect on the US economy. But when I

1322
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: saw that, I saw the same story you're referring to

1323
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 1: her obviously watched it closely. To me, it wasn't something

1324
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 1: they were actually going to do anytime soon. It was

1325
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 1: more of a shot across the bottle warning to the

1326
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: Trump administration, don't mess with us on trade, because we

1327
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:38,800
Speaker 1: can hit you back in the treasure market. So this

1328
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: is what the kind of financial warfare is all about.

1329
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 1: Tell me about what an actual currency war with China

1330
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,600
Speaker 1: would look like, and how would it. How would it

1331
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 1: start first, Well, we actually have some experience with this.

1332
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 1: In two thousand nine, I was asked by the Pentagon

1333
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 1: to help facilitate it was their first ever financial war game.

1334
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: As you know, war games are conducted all the time,

1335
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: but this was the first financial w Again, the only

1336
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: weapons are stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, and derivatives. We did

1337
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 1: it at the Warfare Analysis Laboratory down in near Washington,

1338
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,600
Speaker 1: the Applies Physics Lab. We have participation from you know,

1339
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 1: the Uniform Military, CIA, the Fed, the Treasury, a lot

1340
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: of outside experts. We did it for two days, and

1341
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:22,759
Speaker 1: in that scenario, China Russia teamed up to acquire gold,

1342
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: have a new gold back currency issued out of London,

1343
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,680
Speaker 1: and basically run the dollar off the road. We got

1344
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 1: kind of laughed out at the time. A lot of

1345
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: people said, oh, that would never happen. But since then,

1346
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: since we did that with the Pentagon in two thousand nine,

1347
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 1: China and Russia have tripled their gold reserves. So things

1348
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:40,759
Speaker 1: are actually playing out the way we told the Pentagon

1349
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: at the time. But right now it could happen on

1350
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: a lot of fronts. It could happen with gold, it

1351
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:48,679
Speaker 1: could happen with cryptocurrencies, that could happen with treasuries. China

1352
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 1: is very unlikely to dump their treasuries. That you know.

1353
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: The oldest joke in banking is, if I owe you

1354
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 1: a million dollars, I have a problem. But if I

1355
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: owe you a billion dollars, you have a problem because

1356
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: you have to collect it from well. Right now, in

1357
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: the United States owes China a trillion dollars over a

1358
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,799
Speaker 1: trillion dollars, So I would say China has the problem

1359
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 1: because the president with one phone call could freeze the

1360
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: Chinese treasuries if they ever did anything kind of on

1361
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: toward or disorderly in the treasury market. The president of

1362
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 1: the authority, with one phone call called the FED and

1363
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 1: the Treasury to freeze those securities. He wouldn't have fault

1364
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: on them, and he would say that. The Chinese say,

1365
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: we'll keep paying interest, but we're just going to freeze

1366
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: them from now until you get back on your best behavior.

1367
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: So that's one way currency war financial work can play out.

1368
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 1: What is happening right now with our currency though, I

1369
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 1: mean a lot of people will be asking questions, like

1370
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: we're at twenty trillion in debt. There's been all this gamesmanship,

1371
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:44,759
Speaker 1: all this stuff going on with the Fed and monetary policy.

1372
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: But for most folks James, right now, it feels like

1373
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 1: everything's fine. How would things not go How would things

1374
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden not be fine when we're talking

1375
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 1: about US currency. Well, you know, but when you say

1376
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 1: gamesmanship by the by the central banks and the treasure,

1377
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:00,640
Speaker 1: that's exactly the right word. They've been kind of manipulating

1378
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 1: things behind the scene. C Right, we say the economy

1379
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: is fine, I think what you really mean is that

1380
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: the stock markets going up. Well, that's for sure, stock

1381
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 1: markets going up, I think about thirty since President Trump

1382
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 1: was elected. That feels good to a lot of people. Um,

1383
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 1: but you know, the economy is doing a little better,

1384
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 1: but not a lot better. Very skeptical of the impact

1385
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 1: of this the tax bill. But but the problem from

1386
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: the from the Chinese perspective, you know this, uh, this

1387
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 1: whole financial war is coming to a head. The President

1388
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,679
Speaker 1: has been issuing to do something on the trade front.

1389
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: Remember he said he was gonna, you know, tear up

1390
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: and after he has not done that, uh he um,

1391
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, he said he was going to build a

1392
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 1: wall in Mexico that hasn't happened yet. So a lot

1393
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 1: of things that Trump has talked about that that he

1394
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: hasn't actually done. But one of the things he would

1395
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 1: like to do is hit China with some sanctions on steel, aluminum,

1396
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: and some other solar panels and some other things. The

1397
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: problem is the President needs China's help on North Korea.

1398
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 1: So the reason the President has held off on the

1399
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: trade war with China is because we're looking for their

1400
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: help with North Korea and US so to you've been

1401
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: following closely, but China hasn't really done that much. They're

1402
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 1: they're talking a good game, but they haven't really done

1403
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: that much. Oil is still getting into the North Korea's

1404
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: still being smuggled in. They haven't really put the strangleholds

1405
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 1: in North Korea. So I think the president is getting

1406
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: fed up with that. Trade Representative Lightheiser has been itching

1407
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 1: to put on sanctions WI over ross degree. So I

1408
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:21,720
Speaker 1: think we'll see a trade war with China and then

1409
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 1: that we'll just kind of fight it out in the

1410
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: currency market. In in the bottom market, we're speaking to

1411
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:29,719
Speaker 1: James Rickard's New York Times bestselling author of Currency Wars,

1412
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 1: The Making of the Next Global Crisis, James, I've got

1413
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:35,680
Speaker 1: your book right in front of me here, and it

1414
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: certainly makes one thing that we could face a global

1415
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 1: crisis when it comes to currency. How do you think

1416
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: that is most likely to happen. How would it happen? Well,

1417
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 1: see right now, because the dollar is getting a lot weaker,

1418
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 1: and we see that in the price of gold. Everyone says,

1419
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, the price of gold has going up over

1420
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars an ounced in the past few weeks.

1421
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:55,600
Speaker 1: People go, oh, goals going up. By the way I

1422
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 1: think about it, goal, it's not really going up. What's

1423
01:22:58,000 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 1: happening is the dollar is going down. So you have

1424
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 1: dollar the dollar price of goal is higher. But that's

1425
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 1: just like a symptom that the dollar is getting weaker.

1426
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, The Fed wis are actually likes that.

1427
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: The reason is it increases the price of imports. It

1428
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 1: actually brings some inflation into the U. S. Economy. The

1429
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 1: Fed once inflation they've been they've spent five years trying

1430
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: to hit their target. They have not hit their target

1431
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: of two percent inflation in five years. So the so

1432
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: the week dollar actually helps them to meet their target

1433
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:26,560
Speaker 1: a little bit less and keep on track to to

1434
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 1: keep raising interest rates. But the problem is the inflation

1435
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: is mostly a psychological phenomena. It takes a long time

1436
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 1: to turn the ship, but once you do, inflation can

1437
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: spin out of control. We saw this in late nineteen seventies.

1438
01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 1: So yeah, there hasn't been any inflation through all this

1439
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: money printing in the last eight years. But the reason

1440
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 1: is that people have not had inflationary expectations. They're still

1441
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:48,960
Speaker 1: kind of looking at their wounds. Found the melt down

1442
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: to two thousand and eight. But if that changes, it

1443
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 1: would be very hard for the FED to contain the change.

1444
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:55,600
Speaker 1: It can change very quickly. Again, we saw that in

1445
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: the late seventies. So one of the things one of

1446
01:23:57,840 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: the dangers here is that the FED plays the weak

1447
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,759
Speaker 1: currency game, fights the currency wars with a cheap dollar,

1448
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 1: and again we see that in the higher price of gold.

1449
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 1: But then the inflation actually kicks in and expectations change,

1450
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,640
Speaker 1: and then people start to dump dollars to buy you know,

1451
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 1: other hard assets, gold, silver, land, fine art, anything, and

1452
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 1: turn over increases. So that I think the plans the

1453
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 1: FED is playing with fire here in terms of setting

1454
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 1: off a potentially dangerous inflationary cycle. In Layman's terms, James,

1455
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 1: what is the currency war? The currency war is two

1456
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 1: countries who cheapen their currency to still trade advantage from

1457
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 1: their partners. So we're not always in a currency war.

1458
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: But when currency wars began, they can last for ten

1459
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:41,639
Speaker 1: or fifteen years. And I talked about that in my book.

1460
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 1: The book came out of my book Currency Wars came

1461
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 1: out in two thousand eleven. Here we are in two

1462
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:49,880
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen, and we're still in the same currency war. Reporters,

1463
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: there's a new currency where well, now, I say, no,

1464
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: it's the same one. It's just been going back and forth.

1465
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 1: Currency wars happened when there's too much debt not enough growth.

1466
01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 1: It's exactly the situation we're in today. Too much that

1467
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: not enough growth, the same situation the world was in

1468
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 1: the nineteen nine after World War One. So what countries

1469
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: do is they try to get a little growth by

1470
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: stealing it from their trading partners. So if I cheapen

1471
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 1: the dollar, we'll guess what my bowing aircraft exports are there,

1472
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 1: they're a little cheaper to foreign buyers. All US exports

1473
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: are cheaper. Imports are more expensive because we're trying to

1474
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: buy them with a cheaper currency, so that improves the

1475
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 1: trade deficit. That's good for growth, and like I say,

1476
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: it helps big exporters like General Electric and Bowing and

1477
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,840
Speaker 1: so forth. So that's the theory. The problem is that

1478
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:36,600
Speaker 1: there's retaliation. So I cheapen the dollar. Well, you know,

1479
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 1: Europe comes along and they try to cheapen the euro,

1480
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: and China comes along and they try to cheapen the

1481
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: yuan and so forth. So it just goes back and

1482
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,639
Speaker 1: forth and back and forth like two kids on a seesaw,

1483
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 1: and it's a negative some game. Everybody ends up worse off.

1484
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 1: Nobody wins, but the temptation is always there to give

1485
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:54,640
Speaker 1: your economy a boost with the cheap currency. So the

1486
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: Fed's doing that right now. Today the dollar is getting weaker,

1487
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:00,679
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe the US is getting a little

1488
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 1: boost to go side by side with the stimulus and

1489
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 1: the tax cut, but it won't last again. There'll be

1490
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 1: some retaliation from China sooner or later, and that's how

1491
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,360
Speaker 1: the currency wears play out. If Trump could, uh from

1492
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 1: read your book, and maybe he has, by the way,

1493
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: but I just mean if you were to read it again,

1494
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 1: let's say, and was to take one thing from it,

1495
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:20,600
Speaker 1: that he could do or that the government could do

1496
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,879
Speaker 1: right now to try and address some of the problems

1497
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 1: that you've described for US, James, what would it be

1498
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:30,640
Speaker 1: Probably by gold. Russia's doing it, China's doing it. You

1499
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, Buck, Russia and China have tripled

1500
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: their gold reserves in the last nine years. Russia has

1501
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 1: gone from about six hundred tons to almost two thousand tons.

1502
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 1: China has gone from again around six hundred times to

1503
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: almost two thousand tons. About China has a lot more

1504
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:48,640
Speaker 1: than that because they're non transparent about it. So you

1505
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, you know, are the Russians Chinese

1506
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: stupid or do they see something we don't. Well, I'm

1507
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 1: in the Moscow and Beijing. I'm sure you have to

1508
01:26:57,439 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 1: They're not stupid. They know what they're doing. And if

1509
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: they are acquiring that much gold, they have to be

1510
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 1: getting ready for some kind of international monetary collapse at reset.

1511
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: And I would say one thing the U s could

1512
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:11,719
Speaker 1: do to increase its strength and beyond playing defense actually

1513
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:13,640
Speaker 1: as strength in its hand, would be to get more

1514
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,560
Speaker 1: gold itself. Is the music going to stop on the

1515
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:21,839
Speaker 1: US economy? James? Uh? It will sure these these financial

1516
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 1: crisis come along almost like clockwork, every seven eight years.

1517
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: You get back October seven stock market fell in one day.

1518
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 1: That would be the equivalent of five thousand doll points today,

1519
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: not five thousand. The Mexican crisis seven, the Asian crisis,

1520
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: the Russia crisis two thousand, the dot com meltdown two

1521
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 1: thousand seven, the mortgage mountdown two thousand and eight. Leman

1522
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 1: Hi g We haven't had one since two thousand and eight.

1523
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 1: But as they say that history says they come along

1524
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 1: every seven eight years. We're not in a good position

1525
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,679
Speaker 1: for one right now. But whether it's the currency wars,

1526
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: natural disaster, shooting, war with North Korea, trade war with China,

1527
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of catalysts out there in the stock

1528
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:04,639
Speaker 1: mark you could drop like a stone. James Rickards, author

1529
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 1: of Currency Wars The Making of the Next Global Crisis. James,

1530
01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 1: great to have you, Thanks so much. Thanks all right, team,

1531
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna goroll into a break. When we come back,

1532
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 1: I am going to talk to you about a lot

1533
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 1: of things, including, uh, there's Shield Time podcast this week,

1534
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: the First Crusade. It's out today checking out on iTunes.

1535
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:26,759
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. It was a pretty crazy weekend

1536
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,960
Speaker 1: in the news cycle. I was deep in my history books.

1537
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:34,560
Speaker 1: Actually had a few of my books from one of

1538
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 1: my favorite classes in college at Amherst, which was the

1539
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: First Crusade. So actually took I took an entire semester

1540
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: on course on the First Crusade. It was some time ago,

1541
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:47,760
Speaker 1: but it was an excellent professor. He was Irish and

1542
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,680
Speaker 1: he was from the University of Massachusetts and was just

1543
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 1: teaching a class on Amherst campus. But I was all

1544
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 1: immersed in that world. I was. I was just rocking

1545
01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 1: out in the eleventh century slash early twelfth century, as

1546
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:04,559
Speaker 1: one does. And I saw the talk to you about

1547
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: the Hawaii bomb or missile threat warning, which just is

1548
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 1: baffling that that could happen the way that it did.

1549
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: And then I saw something else, and I should I

1550
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:18,679
Speaker 1: had to assume right away that this is a joke

1551
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: or no way, But it turns out it's not. Chelsea

1552
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 1: Manning is running for office, and it is for the

1553
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 1: it's for a Senate seat. And I just think to myself,

1554
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 1: you know, we've really just as a society, it seems

1555
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 1: to me entirely and completely, uh lost some sense of

1556
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:45,760
Speaker 1: objectivity when you not when you have somebody who has

1557
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:50,120
Speaker 1: no accomplishments or resume to speak of a part from

1558
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:56,640
Speaker 1: committing treason against his country. And that is for the

1559
01:29:56,720 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 1: Democrat Party, at least some Democrats like Chelsea Manning is

1560
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 1: not gonna win. But that is taken seriously as as

1561
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 1: a possibility by some within the party, by some people

1562
01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 1: inside of the American Left. And I just don't know

1563
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:17,719
Speaker 1: how that's I was gonna say, know how it's possible.

1564
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 1: But sure enough, here we are, um running for Senate

1565
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:26,360
Speaker 1: in Maryland. This is a This is a little bit

1566
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 1: of the news background of this. The transgender uh former

1567
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,679
Speaker 1: Army officer who was convicted of leaguing classified documents, filed

1568
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 1: her statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday.

1569
01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:42,360
Speaker 1: The Washington Post reported Saturday that Manning will challenge Democrat

1570
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:46,400
Speaker 1: Ben Cardon. He has served two terms and is an

1571
01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 1: overwhelming favorite to win. The three year old. Manning list

1572
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 1: that a North Bethesda address in her FEC filing. She

1573
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 1: is running as a Democrat. Manning was convicted of leaking

1574
01:30:56,479 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 1: classified information and spent more than six years behind bars. Um, okay,

1575
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 1: A few things, a few things here, and that's all.

1576
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 1: From some NBC affiliate down in Maryland. Okay, she's not

1577
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna see I just did it. He's not gonna win.

1578
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,560
Speaker 1: He's not gonna win. I know, people yell your miss gendering. No,

1579
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:22,559
Speaker 1: you can change your name, you can't change your gender.

1580
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 1: This is a debate now that has turned into Democrats

1581
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:30,160
Speaker 1: not just yelling, but trying to use the force of

1582
01:31:30,280 --> 01:31:35,560
Speaker 1: law against reality, against what is obvious and apparent to

1583
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:38,679
Speaker 1: anybody who cares to pay attention, that is that Chelsea

1584
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:42,480
Speaker 1: Manning is a male. There's there's there's not a scientific

1585
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,880
Speaker 1: debate or dispute about this. It is as clear as

1586
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:50,160
Speaker 1: any objective reality can be. And yet here you have

1587
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:52,800
Speaker 1: this and be and so many of them. Now I

1588
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 1: even see conservatives doing it. And I'm telling you, if

1589
01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,920
Speaker 1: I start doing it, it's only because I'm being threatened

1590
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,679
Speaker 1: with either like legal action or some kind of HR

1591
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 1: sanction from somewhere or someone, because it's just crazy to me.

1592
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:09,559
Speaker 1: But that's where we're heading. I mean, now, in an

1593
01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:11,880
Speaker 1: office environment and a workplace, you're gonna have to say

1594
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 1: she when it's a he, and he when it's a she.

1595
01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 1: Why because someone says so? Now, it would be one

1596
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:19,599
Speaker 1: thing if, like I said, if this were just about choice,

1597
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:22,640
Speaker 1: your name is a choice. If somebody wants to be

1598
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:27,680
Speaker 1: called lothar Key, Master of Gozer, which is actually a

1599
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 1: pretty badass name, I will call them that if that

1600
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 1: is in fact their name, right, I mean, I think

1601
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 1: you have to. But you know, then again, if it's

1602
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:39,439
Speaker 1: not on your driver's license or or your passport or something.

1603
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:41,840
Speaker 1: If you're just changing your name every five minutes, you know,

1604
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 1: at some point you can also say to somebody, what's

1605
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:47,559
Speaker 1: your real name? Right? But you can change your name.

1606
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 1: You're allowed to decide this is what I would this

1607
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 1: is what I would like to be called. But you

1608
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:55,599
Speaker 1: can't change your gender. And forcing people to recognize an

1609
01:32:55,760 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 1: unreality or a falsehood is a very dangerous game for

1610
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:04,720
Speaker 1: society to play, and it's getting crazier and crazier. I

1611
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: remember five or six years ago, if you said that

1612
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 1: Democrats would be pushing for boys to be able to

1613
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 1: use the girls bathroom in high school and vice versa,

1614
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:22,200
Speaker 1: based upon gender identity, you would have been called a fearmongerer. Nonsense,

1615
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:24,640
Speaker 1: you're just being you're just being a big it, and

1616
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: you're also I mean, and now here here we are

1617
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:29,680
Speaker 1: we're already at the point where that's the case, and

1618
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 1: we're supposed to forget that it wasn't long ago at

1619
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 1: all that the very people pushing for this were saying

1620
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 1: that it was crazy and never going to happen. Well,

1621
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:40,760
Speaker 1: I guess times changed rather quickly, didn't they. But it

1622
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:42,280
Speaker 1: is a matter of time. I think that we will

1623
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 1: all be forced. There will be an effort two eliminate

1624
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:52,040
Speaker 1: people from the public sphere who refused to play this

1625
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:55,880
Speaker 1: preposterous game when it comes to pronouns. But back to

1626
01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:59,400
Speaker 1: Chelsea Manning specifically formerly known as Bradley Manning. You know

1627
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:03,760
Speaker 1: that's called when you refer to a transgender person's a

1628
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 1: previous name that is tied to their previously identified self

1629
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:13,200
Speaker 1: identified gender. They call that dead naming, and it's a

1630
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:16,240
Speaker 1: terrible insult. Do you think why is it such an insult?

1631
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:18,559
Speaker 1: Right If somebody says says, you know, Buck, your name

1632
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 1: is actually James, and I say, well, Buck is part

1633
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:22,320
Speaker 1: of my middle name, and it's been my name son

1634
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:24,320
Speaker 1: as a kid. But saying that my first name is

1635
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:27,240
Speaker 1: James is not an insult. It's just just true. Saying

1636
01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:30,639
Speaker 1: that somebody's name was something else is not an insult.

1637
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 1: You can say it's dead naming, but the problem that

1638
01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 1: they have with it is just that it points out

1639
01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:40,720
Speaker 1: how absurd the whole situation is that, you know, they

1640
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:43,639
Speaker 1: don't want any reminders of what has happened here. Someone

1641
01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 1: has decided, oh I'm actually you know, my name isn't Bob,

1642
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: my name is Susie and I'm a woman. Okay, why

1643
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:53,839
Speaker 1: how when did that happen? And we're supposed to celebrate

1644
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:55,559
Speaker 1: this too. Look, people can do whatever they want. Somebody

1645
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:57,800
Speaker 1: wants to go around where addressed, you know or not?

1646
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:00,560
Speaker 1: Or what people can dress how want. They can do

1647
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 1: what they want. You know, do your thing, you do

1648
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 1: you I get all that, but to force me to

1649
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 1: be complicit in a delusion is wrong. And Chelsea Manning

1650
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 1: is still celebrated by some on the left for what

1651
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:18,600
Speaker 1: I have. Well, I have some idea. They think that

1652
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 1: those leaks were exposing war crimes, and I was going

1653
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:25,639
Speaker 1: to say to them, really, what what war crimes were

1654
01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:30,599
Speaker 1: exposed by the leaks? Exactly that mistakes happen in war,

1655
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:35,479
Speaker 1: that Chelsea Manning formerly Bradley Manning could embarrassed people who

1656
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 1: are actually fighting the war out there. It's just it

1657
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:42,720
Speaker 1: enrages me. But I'll tell you this, Chelsea Manning is

1658
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:45,320
Speaker 1: gonna get some votes, not a lot, but there will

1659
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 1: be people who vote for Chelsea Manning. Make no mistake

1660
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 1: about it. Obama commuted this guy's sentence. All right, We're

1661
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 1: going to get into uh much more coming up here,

1662
01:35:55,200 --> 01:36:08,560
Speaker 1: and stay with me the battles of the past to

1663
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:16,799
Speaker 1: find the president. This is Shields High. Gather around, friends,

1664
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:21,280
Speaker 1: for I have a story to tell. A thousand years ago,

1665
01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:25,760
Speaker 1: a military force assembled in Europe and rallied under the

1666
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:30,559
Speaker 1: banner of the Cross. This Christian army believed no less

1667
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:35,680
Speaker 1: than their eternal salvation was at stake the team. That's

1668
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:39,680
Speaker 1: the beginning of this week's episode of Shields High. We

1669
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:43,439
Speaker 1: have gone from the Battle of Tour, the victory of

1670
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 1: Charles Martel the Hammer over the Franks, to the First Crusade.

1671
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:53,639
Speaker 1: I think you will really enjoy this episode. It gets

1672
01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 1: into a bit more of the context of the First

1673
01:36:57,040 --> 01:37:00,240
Speaker 1: Crusade that I think you'll hear almost anywhere else. I'm

1674
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 1: always amazed at how incorrect so much of the historical

1675
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 1: analysis is of the Crusades that's out there, that the

1676
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:16,480
Speaker 1: conventional wisdom is largely nonsense. But first please do download

1677
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 1: the Shields High Podcast. It is available on the iTunes app.

01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be the Fall of Constantinople, which is big,

1681
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. You're gonna definitely gonna want to hear

1682
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:37,160
Speaker 1: that episode. And then after that we get into some

1683
01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:41,879
Speaker 1: of our favorites like Malta and Vienna and La Panto,

1684
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 1: et cetera. It's gonna be really really interesting stuff. I'm

1685
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: all excited about it. I've been telling everybody that the

1686
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:52,840
Speaker 1: Shields High Podcast is kind of like my version for

1687
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 1: those of you who have seen the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall,

1688
01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:01,040
Speaker 1: this is my Dracula opera. In that movie, the guy

1689
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 1: who is he is broken up with by his celebrity girlfriend.

1690
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 1: He's really bummed out and his passion project. He's a musician,

1691
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 1: but his passion project is a Dracula puppet opera and

1692
01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:13,600
Speaker 1: he just really wants to do it. Well, this is

1693
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:20,680
Speaker 1: my Dracula opera. The the I can't and if I

1694
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:24,680
Speaker 1: see Van Helsing, I'll slay him. Ha ha ha. I mean,

1695
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:26,679
Speaker 1: you've got to see the movie to understand. It sounds

1696
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 1: like I'm having some kind of an uh A breakdown here,

1697
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:32,759
Speaker 1: but I'm actually just quoting from the movie forgetting Sarah Marshall.

1698

Speaker 1: not America and everything that's falling apart and rah bah

1706
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 1: blah blah. You know, you listen to the Shield High podcast,

1707
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:01,479
Speaker 1: you learned some cool stuff. One of the things that

1708
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:04,439
Speaker 1: I wanted to get across with the First Crusades, Well,

1709
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: first of all, with the First Crusade, they teach kids

1710
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:13,640
Speaker 1: in school that the Crusades were just these these barbarians

1711
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 1: that wanted to destroy this wonderful, peaceful Muslim civilization that

1712
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, had just been chilling in Palestine and the

1713
01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:25,320
Speaker 1: surrounding areas for you know, for for as long as

1714
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:28,840
Speaker 1: anybody could remember. But the truth is that these were

1715
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:31,000
Speaker 1: all Christian lands we're talking about here, and that will

1716
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 1: come across on the podcast. What is now Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan's, Egypt,

1717
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:43,160
Speaker 1: all of the above of course Israel. Uh. These were

1718
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:46,960
Speaker 1: areas under Christian control and before that areas under the

1719
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:53,360
Speaker 1: control of the Roman Empire. And when I say Christian control,

1720
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:58,600
Speaker 1: it was predominantly the Eastern Byzantine Christian Empire that was

1721
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 1: running the show and these areas. But then the Muslim

1722
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:06,440
Speaker 1: onslaught came. But there's notion that the Crusades were offensive

1723
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 1: and that jihad is defensive, right, it only happens to

1724
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 1: defend people. That's complete and utter garbage. And they teach

1725
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 1: kids this all the time, and there are academics. I'm

1726
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:18,679
Speaker 1: sure I'd go on TV and oh no, tree hards.

1727
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 1: They'll have to tell me it's internal struggling, yeah, or

1728
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 1: they'll tell me that it is only defensive, not true.

1729
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 1: But also other than the fact that you have the

1730
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:36,640
Speaker 1: Crusades not coming out of some vacuum, but actually has

1731
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:42,400
Speaker 1: a response to repeated efforts by the Islamic forces to

1732
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:46,240
Speaker 1: try and conquer more and more of Europe. Remember Charles Martel.

1733
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 1: They came up through Spain, all the way into really

1734
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:51,559
Speaker 1: the center of France and had to be turned back.

1735
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 1: And the only thing that kept them from a full

1736
01:40:54,640 --> 01:41:00,040
Speaker 1: scale invasion through the east was Constantinople, right the the

1737
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:04,600
Speaker 1: massive city, the fortress of Constantinople, that was the bulwark

1738
01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:09,640
Speaker 1: of Christianity. And so when it became clear that it

1739
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 1: was threatened and that the surrounding territory had fallen into

1740
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:18,920
Speaker 1: the hands of the various well various caliphates, notably the

1741
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 1: selgiant Turks in the eleventh century, that's when they had

1742
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 1: to reach out for help to the Christians and all

1743
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 1: this I get into some detail about in in the podcast,

1744
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:31,320
Speaker 1: but it's also why we have to talk coming up

1745
01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:34,320
Speaker 1: about the fall of Constantinople, and that will be a

1746
01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:38,160
Speaker 1: history deep dive next Monday, and I think you'll definitely

1747
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:39,679
Speaker 1: want to That will be the first time we haven't

1748
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:41,800
Speaker 1: talked about that one before on the show, so I'm

1749
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,439
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. And then I think after that

1750
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:48,679
Speaker 1: we're going to do an official Shields high on Malta,

1751
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:51,880
Speaker 1: and then yeah, I got a whole lot more planned.

1752
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:56,400
Speaker 1: So there's that also, just the notion that the crusade

1753
01:41:56,760 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 1: was such a long shot that you would send at

1754
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:05,719
Speaker 1: this period in time we're talking about now, the Council

1755
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 1: of Claremont, they get into Asia, minor contents, the noble,

1756
01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:14,679
Speaker 1: but that you would be able to get a force

1757
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:19,519
Speaker 1: of roughly fifty thousand and move them over land all

1758
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:24,280
Speaker 1: the way into hostile territory and deep in into Islamic

1759
01:42:24,360 --> 01:42:29,040
Speaker 1: controlled land, and that they could win. He's astonishing, really.

1760
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:32,480
Speaker 1: I this is a period in time when most warfare

1761
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:36,599
Speaker 1: was conducted based upon grarian schedules. That the harvest season,

1762
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:41,040
Speaker 1: so you couldn't raise, you couldn't levy, and you couldn't

1763
01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 1: raise a force and use it for more than a

1764
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 1: certain period of time because people would starve. They have

1765
01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:48,400
Speaker 1: to get back to their families, to their farms. So

1766
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:53,080
Speaker 1: you had a campaign season that was in no way

1767
01:42:53,280 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 1: flexible really. I mean you could try if you were

1768
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 1: going to insist on keeping your army in the field,

1769
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:04,080
Speaker 1: but they would they would dessert, they would mutiny. It

1770
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:06,960
Speaker 1: was just not they were They were not professional armies

1771
01:43:07,080 --> 01:43:10,679
Speaker 1: year round at the time. And you had a lot

1772
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: of conscripts, people using very basic weapons without much, if

1773
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:21,120
Speaker 1: anything in the way of training, so that they marched

1774
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:25,519
Speaker 1: from different parts of Europe, but marched from Europe all

1775
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 1: the way across eastern Europe, the Straits or the the

1776
01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:37,000
Speaker 1: Dardan else right the crossing point the Bossphorus where Constantinople is,

1777
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,719
Speaker 1: and then into Asia Minor. It's just an incredible story

1778
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 1: and incredible journey, and that they won numerous battles when really,

1779
01:43:45,439 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 1: if you look, and you'll get this from this show,

1780
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 1: they should have been annihilated. I don't mean they should have.

1781
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 1: Isn't that would have been the right thing. But I'm

1782
01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: saying they were outmatched and outnumbered numerous times, and it

1783
01:43:57,120 --> 01:44:00,599
Speaker 1: was certainly quite a bit of luck and just sheer

1784
01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:04,760
Speaker 1: will and determination that let them take Jerusalem. So I

1785
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:07,080
Speaker 1: think you really enjoy this week's episode of Shields Ye,

1786

1798
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:42,479

1799
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 1: it and just do this properly, do the research is

1800

Speaker 1: are this week. I keep saying this week today. Pardon me.

1839
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:08,400
Speaker 1: I know it's Martin Luther King Day. It's a holiday,

1840
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:13,519
Speaker 1: and I am not not always registering that because I

1841
01:47:13,640 --> 01:47:16,559
Speaker 1: have to be at work. A j with the following.

1842
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:18,920
Speaker 1: Your show is the best I'm listening since before the

1843
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:21,680
Speaker 1: American Now broadcast when I find you. I found you

1844
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,960
Speaker 1: after you subbed in for Rush Limbaugh. I listened by

1845
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:28,200
Speaker 1: podcast and it gets me through my daily workout. Um.

1846
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:31,800
Speaker 1: I sometimes struggle with the volume levels during the show.

1847
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:35,599
Speaker 1: Thanks and Shields High a J. It's weird with podcast

1848
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 1: volume stuff. A lot of people in the past have

1849
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:40,880
Speaker 1: told me they've had an issue with with that, but

1850
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:42,680
Speaker 1: I we look at it here. I have the tech

1851
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 1: team check it out, and it is, uh how do

1852
01:47:46,439 --> 01:47:51,000
Speaker 1: always say it? Uh? Individual based. It depends on someone's

1853
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:53,760
Speaker 1: gear and what they've got going on, so it's a

1854
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 1: little bit different there. Um. But I will take a

1855
01:47:57,560 --> 01:48:01,120
Speaker 1: look again because I always do. Dust In, hey Buck,

1856
01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:03,280
Speaker 1: I just finished the first episode of Shields High, and

1857
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:05,160
Speaker 1: I loved it. I can't wait to share it with

1858
01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 1: my son once he's older. I hope it will inspire

1859
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:09,400
Speaker 1: him to search out and understand the truth of history

1860
01:48:09,479 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 1: for himself as he gets older. Well dust it. Thank

1861
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 1: you very much for your kind note. Uh. We've also

1862
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 1: got one in here from Adam, who writes, Crisper could

1863
01:48:24,479 --> 01:48:29,759
Speaker 1: cure everything in response to your rant on infections. Adam,

1864
01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but I will look

1865
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:36,280
Speaker 1: into it. I'm not familiar. I'm not familiar with Crisper.

1866
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:39,120
Speaker 1: I'll have to look at it and thank you for

1867
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:44,240
Speaker 1: bringing it to my attention. All right, we have Lauren

1868
01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:47,960
Speaker 1: who writes in oh wow, this is uh, this is

1869
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,719
Speaker 1: a long one, Buck. I just listen to history podcast

1870
01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:53,360
Speaker 1: and actually liked it, which is saying something because I've

1871
01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 1: never been interested in history, so thank you for peaking

1872
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,120
Speaker 1: my interest. I also have a random question about the

1873
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:02,360
Speaker 1: Harry Potter's storyline. Have you read all the books or

1874
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:05,320
Speaker 1: seen all the movies. I was really confused to find

1875
01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 1: out that the author is a progressive, because when I

1876
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:10,200
Speaker 1: read the books, I thought for sure the author must

1877
01:49:10,240 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 1: be a conservative. I saw so many parallels in the storyline.

1878
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 1: I saw the main characters and Dumbledore to be the

1879
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:19,800
Speaker 1: conservatives who are willing to acknowledge that evils exist, call

1880
01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:22,479
Speaker 1: it by name, and fight back against it. I saw

1881
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:26,240
Speaker 1: the Ministry of Magic as the leftist bureaucracy who pretend

1882
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:29,040
Speaker 1: evil doesn't exist, don't want to give students the tools

1883
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 1: to fight it, want them to be in effect unarmed,

1884
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:35,439
Speaker 1: and I saw members in that bureaucracy as full blown

1885
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 1: to talitarians. Wow, this is some like next level Harry

1886
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 1: Potter analysis here, folks. So I was curious if I'm

1887
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:42,800
Speaker 1: the only one who saw this angle of the books,

1888
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:45,120
Speaker 1: would be interested to hear your take on it if

1889
01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:47,639
Speaker 1: you have time to get through this series. Well, Lauren,

1890
01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:50,519
Speaker 1: thank you for your very kind note. I have never

1891
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:53,760
Speaker 1: read a Harry Potter book, and I have I think

1892
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:58,560
Speaker 1: I think in college a uh a date made me

1893
01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:00,760
Speaker 1: go to a Harry Potter movie once. I do not

1894
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:04,479
Speaker 1: really remember it. I mean, I'm obviously familiar with Harry Potter,

1895
01:50:04,560 --> 01:50:06,519
Speaker 1: but I haven't. I don't think I've ever sat through

1896
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:12,120
Speaker 1: an entire episode, or not episode, an entire film with

1897
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:14,640
Speaker 1: Harry Potter as the subject matter. So I can't give

1898
01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 1: you any good analysis on that. But you did get

1899
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 1: it read on air for a national coast to coast

1900
01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:24,080
Speaker 1: radio audience, So that's that's kind of cool. You know

1901
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:28,160
Speaker 1: what I mean. Uh, let's see what else we got here. Uh.

1902
01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:31,240
Speaker 1: Friendly OSS message for your team, buck your bumpers, This

1903
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:33,800
Speaker 1: from Jim are coming in hot. I just thought you

1904
01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 1: guys would want some professional technical insight to your brilliant show.

1905
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 1: Great job, Okay, Jim, we'll check out the bumpers. I

1906
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:44,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't need I that's a little bit

1907
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:47,800
Speaker 1: beyond my my skill set here in terms of what

1908
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:52,599
Speaker 1: we do technically. Um Corny writes in with the following book,

1909
01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 1: I've quickly become a huge fan and listened to your

1910
01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:58,560
Speaker 1: podcast daily on my commute to work. Your show was

1911
01:50:58,600 --> 01:51:00,880
Speaker 1: the best thing I got out of my LA relationship.

1912
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:04,679
Speaker 1: But I digress. I work in healthcare, and I've seen

1913
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:07,720
Speaker 1: firsthand the gradual decline in the health care system since

1914
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:10,720
Speaker 1: I graduated in two thousand and eight. Often those with

1915
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:13,439
Speaker 1: the best health care benefits are those who have barely

1916
01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:16,920
Speaker 1: ever contributed to society. They are also often the most

1917
01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 1: non compliant. For example, I had a patient with luring

1918
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:26,240
Speaker 1: luringual cancer uh and at tracheost to me who was

1919
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:28,760
Speaker 1: smoking through his stoma four to five times a day

1920
01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:31,680
Speaker 1: while his insurance company was paying for expensive chemotherapy and

1921
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:35,240
Speaker 1: radiation treatments. It just doesn't make sense. I'd love to

1922
01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 1: hear more on your take regarding the healthcare healthcare and

1923
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:41,760
Speaker 1: how we can better improve the system. Socialized healthcare is

1924
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 1: not the answer, and it truly scares me that anyone

1925
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:47,920
Speaker 1: could think that's a viable solution. Thanks Courtney. Uh well, Courty.

1926
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:50,120
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm so glad you enjoy the podcast,

1927
01:51:50,160 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 1: and then I get to keep you company on your

1928
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:54,719
Speaker 1: way to work on your commute, So I am honored.

1929
01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:57,320
Speaker 1: And healthcare is gonna be as it always is, a

1930
01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 1: big topic of political debate and discussion, and I'd love

1931
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 1: to see the GEOP actually do something this year that's

1932
01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:07,479
Speaker 1: worthwhile on healthcare. I I'm a little disappointed at what

1933
01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:11,920
Speaker 1: we've seen so far from this Goop Congress, obviously on

1934
01:52:12,200 --> 01:52:16,360
Speaker 1: healthcare and repeal in the place of Obamacare. The reality

1935
01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:19,400
Speaker 1: is that we have to to get to where we

1936
01:52:19,479 --> 01:52:21,360
Speaker 1: want to be as conservatives with healthcare, we would have

1937
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:24,519
Speaker 1: to do things that would be seen by many as

1938
01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:30,800
Speaker 1: radical because right now, having any actual let's get in

1939
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:34,400
Speaker 1: the game, so to speak, to care where your dollars go,

1940
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:38,600
Speaker 1: those are all differences, Those are all Uh that's not

1941
01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:41,720
Speaker 1: the case with our current healthcare system. Our system right

1942
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 1: now is based on healthcare is kind of a right.

1943
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:48,360
Speaker 1: How much healthcare is a political decision and somebody else

1944
01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:51,479
Speaker 1: will always pay for it. It's just not the way

1945
01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 1: that it is supposed to be. And that's why I

1946
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:56,760
Speaker 1: think we have a lot of folks with very frustrating,

1947
01:52:57,760 --> 01:53:01,640
Speaker 1: very frustrating circumstances. And it's also a situation where or

1948
01:53:01,680 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 1: it's also the only industry I can think of where

1949
01:53:03,840 --> 01:53:06,920
Speaker 1: you don't know what the price is. The price changes

1950
01:53:06,960 --> 01:53:09,920
Speaker 1: all the time, and price sensitivity is not a part

1951
01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:13,400
Speaker 1: of the health care purchasing process. So I got a

1952
01:53:13,439 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 1: lot of thoughts on healthcare, but they'll be uh coming

1953
01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 1: out in bits and pieces throughout the year as we

1954
01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:22,599
Speaker 1: follow it in the news cycle. So tomorrow I'll try

1955
01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:24,920
Speaker 1: to get some of the team buck emails going here,

1956
01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:29,400
Speaker 1: so that will be coming up for us next or

1957
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 1: tomorrow at least. And UH, thank you again for all

1958
01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 1: the kind words about the History show. I'm gonna keep

1959
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:36,599
Speaker 1: it going. As long as you keep listening passing it around,

1960
01:53:36,640 --> 01:53:39,920
Speaker 1: we'll we'll keep it going. So thank you for that. Uh,

1961
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 1: have a very happy and RESTful rest of your Martin

1962
01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:49,200
Speaker 1: Luther King Holiday and tomorrow. I'm sure it's gonna be

1963
01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:53,320
