00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Sexton Show Podcast. Third hour of Playing Buck kicks off now,

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: and we've got some updates for you on some of

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: the breaking news from earlier today. For one thing, we

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: have Fannie Willis continuing in her role as the district

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: attorney prosecuting Donald Trump, despite her relationship with a subordinate,

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: her clear lack of candor, that's what they say when

8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: they don't want to say lying, right, lack of candor

9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: on the stand. And she is going to be addressing

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: this is why I'm thinking of it right now, addressing

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: the public here soon. And I can tell you this much.

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: She is going to be defiant, She is going to

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: be condescending, and she is going to be smiling because

14
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: she gets to continue on with this and it is

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: a victory for her. And as I said all along,

16
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: it's a reminder that you can see somebody who really

17
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: messes up, who clearly is in over her or his head,

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: depending on the situation, and if they are politically protected

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: and if identity politics, if race politics are favorable for

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: them in the situation and the politics go a certain way,

21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: they will not be held to account and That is

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: certainly what I think we are seeing here with the

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: funny Will situation and a cowardly judge, Judge McAfee. I'm

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: not leaving him out of this too. Judge McAfee should

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: have said, I'm sorry, but people have to respect the

26
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: proceedings of a court, especially when it comes to prosecuting

27
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: the Republican presidential nominee. But a judge, as I said,

28
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: doesn't want his wife, his kids, his family members to

29
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: be harassed, you know, at school or the country club

30
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: or wherever. And that is very powerful. This is why

31
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: you will recall during the Trumpet been a there was

32
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: a real effort, a really targeted effort to harass prominent

33
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Trump allies in public, and I mean cabinet officials. You know,

34
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: if they were seen in restaurants in DC, lunatics in

35
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: a mob would find them and shout at them because

36
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, they'll someone would tweet out that they were there,

37
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: or they would you know, text each other whatever, and

38
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: they would show up and they would be screaming about

39
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: you know, kids in cages. Remember that whole thing at

40
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: the border. They did this to Sarah Sanders, they did

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: this to Ted Cruz, they did this to Kirsten Nielsen,

42
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement lady, remember her. Anyway, this

43
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: was a common thing, but they do that stuff so

44
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: that the message is sent if you are on the

45
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: wrong side of the left wing Democrat apparatus, you can't

46
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: even have a meal in in public without fear of

47
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: harassment and without threats. That has power in the conversation. Unfortunately,

48
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: it's not something that would work in all parts of

49
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: the country. But if you know, certainly if you live

50
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: in a place like DC, or you live in New

51
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: York City, and also I think that there's something that

52
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: we have to understand here, the sense of whether you

53
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: can get a fair trial as a prominent Republican in

54
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: a Democrat city, Well that has been shattered. Any belief

55
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: that you would get a fair trial. You cannot. You cannot.

56
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: The system is now set up for partisan ends, the

57
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: judicial system, and this is a scary place for the

58
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: country to be. And the Democrats have dragged us here

59
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: all on an effort to stop one guy from being

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: president who was already president and did a good job.

61
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: You know, the country was better from twenty sixteen to

62
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty than it is for the last four years.

63
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: We all know it, and so all there's stuff about

64
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: he's Hitler and it's the end of democracy. This is

65
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: just hysteria masquerading as political argument, right, it's just people

66
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: freaking out. Now, we've also got another update because you

67
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: had the NYPD given a press conference this morning because

68
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: that video. A lot of people were just horrified to

69
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: see what was going on with this video. You have

70
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: someone getting shot on the subway, fight breaks out, people

71
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: are terrified, they're trying to get away. Remember, you're stuck

72
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: on a moving subway car. You can't go anywhere. There's

73
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: nowhere to go. So you're locked in a steel tube

74
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: going forty miles an hour underground. Is that how fast

75
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: subway cars go? That was a guess something like that, right,

76
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: thirty five to forty miles an hour. You're locked underground

77
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: and some maniac is shooting a gun, and you know,

78
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: the whole thing is a total mess, and people are

79
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: sick of it in New York City. Well, you have

80
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: the mayor of New York, Mayor Adams, who is telling everybody,

81
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: you know what, get ready for more security on the subway.

82
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: Play it would you say you're enthusiastic about Biden and

83
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: running again right now?

84
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Now, would you say, you're wait, that's it? That was it.

85
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: I thought, I'm sorry, that was a different clip than

86
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: what I was looking for, So we'll just get past it.

87
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Enthusiastic about Byron about Biden running No Mayor Adams was

88
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: saying that you got to use more security on the

89
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: subway system. But this is going to be happening going forward.

90
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: This is cut thirty one. Please do we not.

91
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: Have rising police deployments falling crime?

92
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: There seems to be a relationship there. Yes. Should we

93
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: be looking at this as a new normal.

94
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 3: Yes, And that's the analysis that we must do. And

95
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: that's what I charge the Commissioner and Chief temper with.

96
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: I am saying to the team, we have to now

97
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: look at what's the new norm, and we have police

98
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: sit at new norm.

99
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: Increased security, more people on the subway system. They're doing

100
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: all these things because ultimately it seems to me that

101
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: they wow that the average speed on the subway they

102
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: has told me seventeen miles an hour. That well, okay,

103
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: but does that include the slowdown periods? I mean when

104
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: the subway is normally going at its normal speed. It

105
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: felt to me like thirty or forty top speed on

106
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: the subway is fifty five miles an hour, but the

107
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: average speed is seventeen miles an hour, And for those

108
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: who have ridden the New York City subway a lot,

109
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: it feels like the average speed is more like point

110
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: five miles an hour a lot of the time. Got

111
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: a you know, we're held up by train traffic ahead.

112
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: You hear that? Do you hear that robotic voice? We're

113
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: held up by train traffic ahead. And you're like, no,

114
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: that's bad. What's even worse is when they have the sure, sure, Sure,

115
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: you can't hear anything. It's just noise over the microphone.

116
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: You're like, what are they telling us to evacuate? Like

117
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: what are they saying? You know, they've got the crappypa system.

118
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: You can't hear anything that's going on. I know a

119
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: lot of you don't even live in New York. You

120
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: never take the subway. You're like, who cares? But the

121
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: point is this is a laboratory, if you will, of

122
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: democrat ideas on crime where the results are in and

123
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: we all see exactly what's going on here. And it's

124
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: the same thing I just saw. There's a famous barbecue

125
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: restaurant I think it's in Oakland that had a fire,

126
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: and then after the fire it was stripped bare and

127
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: people came in and just you know, took all the

128
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: piping and everything that was left behind, so they couldn't

129
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: even rebuild after the fire. And you know, this is

130
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: just people don't want to live. It doesn't have to

131
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: be this way. I think that's the part of this

132
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: that is Yeah, Oakland Barbecue. Horn Barbecue in Oakland went

133
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: up and went up in flames and there was an

134
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: intentional fire. The building was raided by vandals. There were

135
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: squatters in the building. They stole the engine from a van.

136
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: My gosh, the owner and acclaimed chef Matt Horns that

137
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: the structure was compromised by unauthorized individuals living in and

138
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: coming in and out of a you know, a restaurant,

139
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: the kind of place that people are excited to have

140
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: in their community, are excited to go visit. You know.

141
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Great look one thing. Everybody loves great barbecue. Great barbecue

142
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: any part of the country. And some of you folks,

143
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, in Texas and some other parts

144
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: are a little bit snippy about the New York barbecue.

145
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: But I will tell you there are some decent barbecue

146
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: places in New York. There are some decent barbecue places

147
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: in New York. You may not want to believe it,

148
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you they exist. Not saying it's as good.

149
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm not crazy. I'm not saying it's as good. I'm

150
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: just saying it can be pretty good. Some of them are,

151
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: even in Brooklyn. I might have been to some of

152
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: the hipster barbecue joints in Brooklyn in my day, and

153
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: they can be pretty good. But we don't have to

154
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: back to the issue of crime and disorder. We don't

155
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: have to have this, and we know we don't have

156
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: to have it, because, for one thing, there are other

157
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: cities in the world where they don't have these problems.

158
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: There are other cities in the world where you don't

159
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: have to live with the constant reality that you may

160
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: be you may be robbed. In fact, a friend of

161
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: mine was just telling me that even in some European

162
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: cities now these days, Paris, London, if you're wearing expensive jewelry,

163
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: there are a lot of these jewelry, and particularly men's watches.

164
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: They're very expensive watches, jewelry ring thieves. They're out there

165
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: and they're constantly stealing from people. So now people don't

166
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: want to wear they don't want to wear their real

167
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: jewels in public. They're wearing, you know, fakes, and they're

168
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: wearing things that are meant to If they lose, they

169
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: don't really care. Because Western Europe is having a similar

170
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: problem with increasing crime, even though they don't have the

171
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: gun the gun issue that we have the same way,

172
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of people carrying knives and doing

173
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: home invasions. So but that's foreign. Put aside the foreign problem.

174
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: We know we don't have to deal with this because

175
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: in New y York City they got it under control,

176
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of other cities they got under control too.

177
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: We were able to solve the problem. We were able

178
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: to get it done. And sure enough, they've decided to

179
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: go back on all of that, and they've decided that

180
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: we're going to forget the lessons of the past and

181
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: make everyone have to live through the nightmare again of

182
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: just not being safe. I mean, I had dinner recent

183
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: with a friend who was working in DC, actually working

184
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: in DC security i'll say for years for the City

185
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: of DC, and he said, it's just gotten to the

186
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: point now where you're not allowed to bring up the

187
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: things in meetings because he was working for the City

188
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: of DC. You're not allowed to bring up the things

189
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: in meetings that would actually solve the problem. So everyone

190
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: just pretends that we can't do what needs to be done,

191
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: and you're the way to advance yourself through the bureaucracy

192
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: is to just say things that you know won't be

193
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: politically offensive or won't be politically incorrect, and won't do anything.

194
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: But you just come up with something. Oh, you know,

195
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: I've got an idea. You know, let's have like no

196
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: gun Tuesday on the streets where you know, we're gonna

197
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: put out flyers and tell everybody, hey, at least once

198
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: a week, let's have no guns in the street. I mean,

199
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: they haven't done anything that dumb, but they might as well.

200
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: They do have a gun free zone in Times Square

201
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: in New York City. They got signs up, let's say

202
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: that gun free zone, just like schools all across the

203
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: country gun free zones. Because the bad guys, whoever they are,

204
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: they see that sign that says gun free zone and

205
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: they go, WHOA, I was planning on doing horrible things

206
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: with this firearm, But now that I know that it

207
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: would be illegal to possess within the limits of this school,

208
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: within five hundred feet or whatever it is. I'm going

209
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: to rethink everything. No intelligent person can believe that these

210
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: are good ideas, right. But this is what I mean

211
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: by everyone knows what the problems are. Everyone knows now

212
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: how to fix them, with the exception of maybe a

213
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: small small group of true ideological loans out there in

214
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. But the incentives are set up so

215
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: that you just keep coming up with new ways to

216
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: not fix the problem as long as you don't offend anyone.

217
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: Because Democrats get offended by the notion of lock up

218
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: criminals put them in prison. Prosecutors shouldn't be funded by

219
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: Soros with the intention of undoing our society and pulling

220
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: us apart at the seams. That's a bad thing. These

221
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: are offensive ideas to Democrats. You have to find ways

222
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: to not deal with them, not actually address them. This

223
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: is going to continue, as I've said, as it has

224
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: this whole time, because we all understand what the structures are,

225
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: we all understand what the stats are. And Democrats, you know,

226
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: go over to go turn on Mourning Joe. They'll tell

227
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: you the problem with crime is the insurrection or something

228
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: like that. You know, I've purchased a couple of homes

229
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: over the last oh gosh few years, and you know

230
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: I've relied on American Financing for two mortgages. That's right,

231
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: two different mortgages for American Financing. They're a family owned

232
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: mortgage company. It's been around for twenty five years. One

233
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: was an investment property, one is the home that I

234
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: live in. So I really know these guys and I

235
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: trust them. They're saving homeowners just like you, an average

236
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: of eight hundred and fifty four dollars a month by

237
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: tapping into their homes equity to pay off high interest debt.

238
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: Mortgage rates are now back in the fives, lower than

239
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: they've been in some time. Make time for a ten

253
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: we have our friend Peter Schweitzer joining us next to

Speaker 1: investigative journalism are phenomenal, so looking forward to talking to

Speaker 1: which is the fun way to hang out with us.

264
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: And occasionally you will see Ginger full name Ginger Spice.

265
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: She will make appearances the Australian Labradoodle. My wife always

266
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: makes sure that I say Australian Labradoodle. Not just a labradoodle,

267
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: an Australian labradoodle. And if I was better an Australian accent,

268
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: I would come up with a whole ginger character. But

269
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: I Australian accent is really hard. Actually, that one's not

270
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: easy to do, Joe, right. All of this is the

271
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: result of non police elected leaders thinking they know better

272
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: than the police how to police. Rank and file police

273
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: know how to fix all these problems with rampant crime

274
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: if they were just left to do it. Joe, I

275
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: think that's completely true. Whatever I've spoken to and you know,

276
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: I worked alongside some NYPD guys for about eighteen months,

277
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: but whenever I've spoken to officers, then we're now they

278
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: know what the problem is. In fact, if you speak

279
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: to most of the you know, precinct captains, or you

280
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: speak to some of the embedded intelligence officers at some

281
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: of the precincts, that they they know who the bad

282
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: guys are, they know who the gangs are, they know

283
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: who's selling drugs where, they know who's you know, carrying

284
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: around illegal firearms and doing the robberies, the whole thing.

285
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, but the senior, the senior brass you know,

286
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: commissioners and deputy commissioners and inspectors and some of that.

287
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: Then you get people more and more who are politicians.

288
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: Kind of like in the military, right you know, you

289
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: ask you ask a marine, how do you go how

290
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: do you deal with isis? They'll tell you something that

291
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: makes sense. I know, isis is gone. Trump's like I

292
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: made them disappear very good. But I'm just saying, you

293
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: ask the marine how to take the enemy. The marine

294
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: knows how to take the fight to the enemy. You know,

295
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: you ask a four star general, and you know, you

296
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: kind of get like a Charlie Rose PBS kind of

297
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: discourse on conflict resolution. You're like, not true of all generals,

298
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: but a lot of them, a lot of them. Same

299
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: thing with the law enforcement situation these days, here we go,

300
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: Mark writes, gentlemen, the judge and the Fannie Willis case

301
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: just issued a politically motivated decision to save his career

302
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: apiece his friends in Fulton County and others in the

303
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: Kemp administration. This judge is up for reelection this year.

304
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: He has actually donated to Willis's campaign, which should have

305
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: been a disqualifier. Let's be real, could there have been

306
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 1: a more blatant conflict of interest and perjury. Mark, I

307
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: totally totally agree. I hope I've given ample voice to

308
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: that sentiment during the show today, because yeah, it's a

309
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: it's a travesty of justice or injustice. It is atrocious

310
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: what has gone on here. So yeah, very much, very

311
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,080

00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 4: Oh thanks so much, Buck, great to be on with you.

344
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me so you have a very important

345
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: story to tell in this book. I love, by the way,

346
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: some of the references and really a lot of the

347
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: structure of it coming from perhaps the most famous military

348
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: strategist of all time, Sun Sue, the Chinese military strategist

349
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: from antiquity. And you talk about the Chinese strategy strategies

350
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 1: being used here that go back to the time of

351
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: Sun Sue. And one thing I want to dive into

352
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: is disintegration. I thought this was a fascinating concept in

353
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: the book Disintegration Warfare. What is that and how is

354
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: China doing that to us? Yeah?

355
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 4: I wish I could claim responsibility for the term disintegration warfare,

356
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 4: but it's actually a book that was written by two

357
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 4: senior Chinese military officers in twenty ten. And what Disintegration

358
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 4: Warfare does is really stand on the shoulders of Sun Zoo.

359
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 4: It's rested on the principle that the best strategists is

360
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 4: the one that defeats their enemy without actually fighting them,

361
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: and Disintegration Warfare says, the way you do that to

362
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 4: America is you work to tear it apart, you work

363
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 4: to disintegrate it. And that includes lots of components. One

364
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 4: is the literal death of Americans of Sentinel Crisis, which

365
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: is really a Chinese operation more than it is a

366
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 4: drug cartel operation. It includes what they did during COVID

367
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 4: to maximize the body count. But it also includes things

368
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 4: like violence on American streets. I mean there are accelerants

369
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 4: that they are providing that China is providing to make

370
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: that problem worse. It means a sowing racial divis vision

371
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 4: and conflict in America. So that's what disintegration. Wharf there

372
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 4: is beat the United States by tearing it apart. And

373
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 4: I got to tell you, Buck, I think they're doing

374
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 4: a pretty darn good job of it right now.

375
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's troubling to see, if nothing else, Peter, how

376
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: wrong the elites have been, and really elite foreign policy opinion.

377
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: You can put that elite in quotes about China stretching

378
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: back now for forty years at least, I mean, maybe

379
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: even further than that. But the idea that we can

380
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: do all this business with China, give them unrestricted access

381
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: to our markets in so many ways, have all these

382
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: restrictions from their markets, and then also the ideological subversion

383
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: that's going on. But before I get into the ideological

384
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: side of it more, can can you tell us because

385
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: this is something that I think still doesn't get enough

386
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: attention or focus. How is China playing a role? You know,

387
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: take us from the beginning of it to the end

388
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: product on the streets. How is China playing a role

389
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: in the fentanyl crisis that's taking tens of thousands of

390
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: lives over one hundred thousand overdose debts each year in America.

391
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, it's the leading cause of death for people

392
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 4: under the age of forty five. And again people think

393
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 4: that it's the Mexican drug cartels. The drug cartels are

394
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 4: equipped and supplied and directed by the Chinese. So people know,

395
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 4: of course buck that the precursors for fentanyl come from China.

396
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 4: But those precursors arrive in basically one port in western

397
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 4: Mexico called Montanio. That international terminal is run by a

398
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 4: Chinese company that's very close to the Chinese state. Those

399
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 4: precursors are then shipped to a town in northern Mexico where,

400
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 4: according to leaked government documents we obtained, there are two

401
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: thousand Chinese nationals that are actually creating the fentanyl for

402
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 4: the Mexican drug cartels. Then they need to take that

403
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 4: sentinel and put it into pills, because of course, the

404
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 4: people that are dying of fentinel poisoning don't even know

405
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 4: they're taking fentanyl. They think they're taking vited in so

406
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 4: they need pill presses, and they need pill molds that

407
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 4: make it look like the real product when it really isn't.

408
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 4: They get those pill presses in those molds from China,

409
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 4: and according to leaked reports, they are selling them to

410
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 4: the drug cartels at cost. I mean, in other words,

411
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 4: this is not a money making venture. The drug cartels

412
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: need secure communications when they're spreading this poison in America.

413
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: They use Chinese apps and Chinese encrypted communication devices. Why

414
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: because they know that Chinese will not share those communications

415
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 4: with US federal forces. And then the final part of it,

416
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 4: if you are a drug operation, you need to be

417
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 4: able to launder money. You've got large amounts of cash

418
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 4: you have to launder. They used to in the days

419
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 4: when the drug cartels were all about, you know, cocaine

420
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 4: and heroin. They laundered their money in Latin American banks.

421
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 4: They now launder their money in Chinese state owned banks,

422
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 4: and they oftentimes use Chinese students in the United States

423
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 4: on education visas to do it. So the Mexican drug

424
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 4: cartels are the junior partner. The senior partner here is

425
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 4: absolutely the Chinese CCP.

426
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: Now Peter if someone were to google like China crackdown

427
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: on fentanyl, because I recall from the news headlines that

428
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: back in what was it, twenty twenty three, xijin Ping,

429
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: China vows to crack down on fentanyl chemicals. DEA's own

430
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: website says, effective May twenty nineteen, China has controlled all

431
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: forms of fentanyl as a class of drugs and fulfilled

432
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: the commitment of President She. Are you telling us that

433
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party are lying to

434
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: us about all this and still doing it?

435
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: Yes, now they're absolutely lying about it, and honestly they're laughing.

436
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: I think in America's response, because consider the Biden administrations

437
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 4: quote unquote get tough with China on sentinel. Are these

438
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 4: sensions that if they find that Chinese officials are involved

439
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: in the sentinel trade, they will sanction them and say

440
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: you cannot do business in the United States. The Biden

441
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 4: administration did that in twenty twenty one to a guy

442
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 4: named Wad who has tied to Chinese organized crime was

443
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 4: also an advisor to the CCP. They sentioned him, Well,

444
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 4: what happened three months after our Treasury Department sanctioned him publicly.

445
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 4: The Chinese government gave this guy an award, and he

446
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 4: actually gave a rousing speech explaining how he was contributing

447
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 4: in his way to helping China defeat the United States.

448
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, it is a ridiculous ruse. And part of

449
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 4: the problem is that this administration will not openly confront

450
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 4: China on this. Joe Biden has said, oh, well, you know,

451
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 4: it's not about finger pointing. You absolutely need finger pointing.

452
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 4: And I believe that the reason that Joe Biden will

453
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 4: not confront China is because the Biden family finance their

454
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 4: ties to China is literally one step removed from the

455
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 4: Chinese gangs involved in the central trade.

456
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: We're speaking of Peter Schweitzer. His book is Blood Money.

457
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: I've got my copy here, highly recommend you all pick

458
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: up yours. Peter. Okay, Biden is corrupt and a buffoon

459
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: and a danger to the country and all of that.

460
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: And we say that on a regular basis here, Given

461
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: what you are not just alleging, you're laying out in

462
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: the book in detail, why aren't more Americans in positions

463
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: of leadership outraged and taking action? Because one would think

464
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: that our our at least opponents China poisoning Americans and

465
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: undermining us in ways that cost life as well as

466
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: a whole lot of dollars is something that would get

467
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: the political class united against Why isn't that happening?

468
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, great question. I think there's a multiple multitude

469
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 4: of answers to that question. You begin with the financial

470
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 4: ties and the corruption, which is obviously the smaller group.

471
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 4: But you know, you look at Joe Biden. I mean,

472
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 4: you know, we first broke the story in twenty eighteen

473
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 4: about the Biden family ties to China. But what I

474
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: point out in blood Money is it becomes perilously close

475
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 4: to the actual fentinyl trade itself. In twenty seventeen, the

476
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 4: Biden family got a five million dollar interest free forgivable

477
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 4: loan from a Chinese businessman alone they've never repaid. By

478
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 4: the way, that businessman was actually business partners with a

479
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 4: Chinese gangster named Jang Anlu, who's the head of a

480
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 4: criminal gang that set up the Cineloa cartel in the

481
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 4: fentanyl trade. And they are, by the way, the kings

482
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 4: of Sentinels. So what I'm saying is, you literally have

483
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 4: one Chinese businessman who is partners with this gang leader

484
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 4: who set up the Sentinel trade for the Cineloa cartel.

485
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: The Bidens are on the other side of that equation.

486
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 4: There's one degree of separation. That's why Joe Biden does

487
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 4: not want to have a conversation about China in Fennel.

488
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 4: You look at other people like, you know, Mitch McConnell.

489
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 4: You know there are financial ties there. His family has

490
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 4: a shipping business. Elanechase family has a shipping business in China.

491
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 4: If Joe Biden, sorry, if Mitch mccollin were to say

492
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 4: something or do something to offend the Chinese, they could

493
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 4: destroy that family shipping business overnight. So that's the leverage.

494
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 4: So you have people like that. We could certainly talk

495
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 4: about Adam Shipp and Gavin Newsom, but jo also have

496
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 4: the larger group that I would argue there's a lot

497
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 4: of people in Washington Buck, you talk about this all

498
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 4: the time that are go along to get along. They

499
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 4: don't want the heavy lift. Once you accept the reality

500
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 4: of what China is doing to the United States, you

501
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 4: cannot have a normal relationship with this country. You've got

502
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: to make some very hard choices as a leader in

503
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 4: this country on how you're going to confront and deal

504
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 4: with this issue and protect Americans, and a lot of

505
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 4: them just don't want to make those hard choices. They

506
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 4: want to pretend that the problem doesn't exist. Winston Churchill

507
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: called this leaders with vacant eyes during the war and

508
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: the run up to the war. They don't want to

509
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: confront the reality that is in front.

510
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: Of them now. Peter, I don't want to get ahead

511
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: of ourselves here, and we're talking about Blood Money Peter's book.

512
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. But we

513
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: may have different leadership in a little less than a year.

514
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: And Donald Trump has certainly shown a willingness to break

515
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: from consensus as it pertains to China and to take

516
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: actions that even in his own party were opposed very much.

517
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: I remember early on in the Trump presidency a lot

518
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: of Republicans saying they didn't like it. Given what you

519
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: lay out in Blood Money and the research you've done,

520
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: and what you've found about this nexus between Chinese Communist Party,

521
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: the cartels, the fentanol, and the ideological undermining and the

522
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: buying off of our elites, what does Donald Trump need

523
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: to do to start moving this in the right direction

524
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: and start making this a two way fight? Instead of

525
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: a one way fight.

526
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 4: Well, it's a great question. Look, I give Trump a

527
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 4: credit in the book, he raised sentinel directly related at

528
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 4: the feet of the Chinese. Unfortunately, President g promised him

529
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 4: he would deal with it, and I think President Trump

530
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 4: took him at his word, which was a mistake, and

531
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 4: I think that Trump has probably learned from that mistake.

532
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 4: What we need to do is to make clear to

533
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 4: China that the actions they are engaged in our country

534
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 4: are not acceptable and they are going to face consequences

535
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 4: for it. I'm not talking about a kinetic war, but

536
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 4: I'm talking about an economic costs. So why are we

537
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 4: going to allow them access to our financial markets, to

538
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 4: our commercial market as long as they are engaging in

539
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 4: this kind of behavior. I think you've got to put

540
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: all of those things that relate to a sort of regular,

541
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 4: ordinary state to state relationship on a hold until China

542
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: starts dealing with these things that they are that they

543
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 4: are engaging in that are killing Americans. And I also,

544
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 4: I think when it comes to the ideological battle, I mean, look,

545
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 4: if you look what I lay out in the book Buck,

546
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 4: a lot of the violent protests that are occurring in

547
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 4: our country that occur in twenty twenty, and the pro

548
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 4: protests that are occurring today are being led by a

549
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 4: handful a small group of radical organizations that have pledged

550
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 4: allegiance to the CCP. And there's even a flow of

551
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 4: money indirectly, but a flow of money to these organizations

552
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 4: coming from China. We need to not only talk about

553
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 4: China as a nation state. We need to do what

554
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 4: wrong O Reagan did during the Cold War. We need

555
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 4: to call them an evil empire, and we need to

556
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 4: engage in the ideological struggle between the two. It has

557
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 4: been completely one sided. They are trying to destabilize our country,

558
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: and we need to call them out publicly and boldly.

559
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 4: I still happen to believe that freedom will win in

560
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 4: that competition, but you actually have to engage in the competition,

561
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: and we have not done that with regards to.

562
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: Ch blood money. Why the powerful turn a blind eye

563
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,000

617
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: uncertain before when they were doing that press conference. This

618
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: is from This is an update on the New York

619
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: City subway shooting that we started off the show talking about.

620
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 3: Quote.

621
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: The Brooklyn straphanger who shot a berserk rider attacking him

622
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: on a rush hour train Thursday will not be charged,

623
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: according to prosecutors yesterday. Shooting inside a crowded subway car

624
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: was shocking and deeply upsetting. According to a spokesman for

625
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: the District Attorney of Brooklyn in an email statement, the

626
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: investigation in the tragic incident is ongoing, but at this

627
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: stage evidence of self defense precludes us from following any

628
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: criminal charges against the shooters. So it looks like the

629
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: man who shot the other man was defending himself against

630
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: the crazy guy who initially had the gun, and this

631
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: other guy got the gun from him. I think that

632
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: is the sequence of events. So we shall see John

633
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: in Rochester, New York. I wanted to get you in. John,

634

635
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 2: All let's talk about what's going on with China. Brings

636
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 2: to mind a book I read it a few years ago,

637
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 2: and I think the author was Bradley called the China

638
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: Mirage and Asian mentalities go for a long time, and

639
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 2: in the late eighteen hundreds, early nineteen hundreds, we used

640
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: to ship a lot.

641
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: Of opium over to China, and.

642
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 2: There was a lot of it coming from the Roosevelt family,

643
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 2: and they sent over. China sent over their ambassador to

644
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 2: the US telling us, why are you doing this? Sell

645

647
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: made millions and millions of dollars off of the opium trade,

648
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,959
Speaker 2: and China is just doing right back to us.

649
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: What we did to them. I'm going to pick that up,
