1 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom Hudge. President Trump is at 2 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: the border as we speak, and he will be addressing 3 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: the American people once again, telling them just why it 4 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: is so important that we finally get a wall, we 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: finally get border security, and Trump is winning this fight. 6 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: We'll get into that and more coming up on The 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where 8 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 9 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a great 10 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: American Again, the buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, we now 11 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: have an actual humanitarian crisis on the border that only 12 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: underscores the need to drop the politics and fix our 13 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: immigration system once and for all. In recent weeks, we've 14 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: seen a surge of unaccompanied children arrive at the border, 15 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: brought here and to other countries by smugglers and traffickers. 16 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: The journey is unbelievably dangerous for these kids. The children 17 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: who are fortunate enough to survive it will be taken 18 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: care of while they go through the legal process, but 19 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: in most cases that process will lead to them being 20 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: sent back home. I've sent a clear message to parents 21 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: in these countries not to put their kids through this 22 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it just sounds so terrible, doesn't it 23 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: sound so xenophobic? For President Obama back in twenty fourteen, 24 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: a humanitarian crisis at the border that was then, right, 25 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: this is now welcome to the buck Sexton Show. I 26 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: just wanted to have a little trip down memory lane 27 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: with you so that when we hear in the days 28 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: and perhaps even weeks ahead, that there is no crisis. Oh, 29 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 1: who could ever use the term crisis at the porter? 30 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: President Obama twenty fourteen, What did he do to deal 31 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: with that crisis? I would not damn nothing. Oh. And 32 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: his claim there that most of the most of the 33 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: children who were coming to the border on a company 34 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: would be sent back, that was not true. A very 35 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: large percentage of those children were placed in the United States, 36 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: state in the country. So and then what happened, Oh 37 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: that's right. Then people realize, well, why not just show 38 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: up as a family unit with children. And now we 39 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: have the current situation, which, yes, very much is a crisis. 40 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: But I have I have good news for you today. 41 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: It's not final, victory is not yet upon us. But 42 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: President Trump I watched his press conference down in mccaluan 43 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: on Texas as it was going on. He's down on 44 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: the border way at this southern tip of Texas, and 45 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: he is making the case. He really is. He is 46 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: doing everything that we could ask him to do in 47 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: front of the American people. And the good news is 48 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: that I think President Trump is winning the argument on 49 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: the border. Now, that does not mean he will get 50 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: the wall because Democrats don't care. They don't care what 51 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: the truth is here. They don't care whether Trump is 52 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: compelling or not. Doesn't matter what the Border Patrol says, 53 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, what Immigrations and Customs Enforcement says, It does 54 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: not matter to them. All that matters is that Trump 55 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: does not get his way, that he is not able 56 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: to deliver on the central promise of his campaign, that 57 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: he is not able to break through and achieve something 58 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: that we've been told for the last two years was 59 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: just not possible. Trump, i think, understands that this is 60 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: all or nothing for US presidency. This is the central fight, 61 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: this is what we have been waiting for, and I'm 62 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: glad to see that he is rising to the occasion. 63 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: One of the aspects of this that Trump has brought 64 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: into the conversation that other Republicans, I think unfortunately had 65 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: backed away from were unwilling to go there. He understands 66 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: that to really win this argument, you have to bring 67 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: emotion into it. You have to bring the passion that 68 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: you feel when describing loss, when describing the pain that 69 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: results from an immigration policy that is not enforced in 70 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: this country, from reckless lawlessness on the part of authorities 71 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: at the state and local level with these sanctuary cities 72 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: from the Democrats, complicity and massive illegal immigration going on 73 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: for decades, And to finally show sympathy for the families 74 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: of people who have lost loved ones because of an 75 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: illegal driving a car that never should have been in 76 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: the country in the first place, that ran into their 77 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: daughter at sixty miles an hour when drunk, that murdered somebody, 78 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: that did terrible things. That counts two. We don't just 79 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: have to hear about the illegal immigrant who is working 80 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: on a cure for cancer, and you know, because that's 81 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: not how that's not how you make policy, folks. You 82 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: can't pick one and say it's true for everyone. And 83 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: if you're gonna do that, you've got to be willing 84 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: to hear the other side of it too. Republicans have 85 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: tended to walk away from this, Oh We don't want 86 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: to get into that. Not Trump. He's saying, what about 87 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: the angel families play clip six. Well, you know who 88 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: has more human pains the parents of people who had 89 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: children killed by an illegal immigrant that should have never 90 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: been in the country. You know who has more human 91 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: pains the husbands have lost the wife. For the wife 92 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: that lost the husband to an illegal immigrant that came 93 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: in five or six times. They shouldn't be here. That's 94 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: the human pain. How can anyone claim with a straight 95 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: face that our border is in any meaningful way secure 96 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: when people can come in and out of the country 97 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: after being deported five, six, seven times. Look at how 98 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: many times the man who killed Kate Steinley was deported 99 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: and came back into the country. He's not some criminal mastermind, 100 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: he's not a drug cartel kingpin. Probably just walked. And 101 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: they want to tell us that there's a secure border 102 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: on that this is a manufactured crisis. That's the talking 103 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: point du jour for the Democrats, a manufactured crisis. Well, 104 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: Trump is not going to stand for it. He is 105 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: taking his case to the American people, and I'm pleased 106 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: to see that the Democrats are getting nervous about this. 107 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: I think the Democrats recognize that, yes, as the shutdown continues, 108 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: we're in the We're soon to be, and if we're 109 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: not already the longest government shutdown in history. As the 110 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: shutdown continues and the pain for those federal workers piles up, 111 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: there'll be greater and greater pressure on the administration. But 112 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: there's a race against time here as well. For the Democrats. 113 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: They can't allow this conversation to continue in public in 114 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: this way. The web of lies and obfiscations and deceptions 115 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: that they have built up over many, many years around 116 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: immigration on the border is being pulled apart in front 117 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: of the American people. We can see this, those of 118 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: us who are willing to see ken. We understand that 119 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,239 Speaker 1: all of the arguments they're throwing up against this wall, 120 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't work, it can't be done, it's too expensive, 121 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: it's inhumane. None of these are good arguments, Not a 122 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: single one of them is a good argument. And yet 123 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: they are so certain, so utterly assured that this should 124 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: not happen. Why is that five billion dollars. This is 125 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: a drop in the bucket of the federal budget. This 126 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: is nothing, which unfortunately says a lot about how much 127 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: money we spend. But nonetheless, Trump is making the case. 128 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: It's beginning to sink in Pelosi and Schumer and the 129 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: rest of them outside of the hyperliberal precinct that openly 130 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: advocate for open borders, people are catching on to this. 131 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: Pelosphy and Schumer don't want to secure border that Democrats 132 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: don't really want to shut down illegal immigration. They want 133 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: amnesty and they want future waves for more amnesties. That 134 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: is what they want, and every policy position they take 135 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: indicates that. Every time the discussion comes up, it's clear 136 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 1: that is their preferred future for this country. But it's 137 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: not the preferred future of the American people. I don't 138 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: think they're going to budge. I don't think they're going 139 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: to cave. While Trump is winning the argument by any 140 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: objective measure, Democrats have a lust for power and they 141 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: will not stand down on this because they're twenty twenty. Hopes, 142 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: as far as they're concerned, go up in flames the 143 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: moment gets funding to extend are already existing border barriers. 144 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: That's right, Border barriers are such a stupid idea that 145 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: a bipartisan vote of Congress made it the law of 146 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: the land in two thousand and six. Borders are border 147 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: walls are such a dumb idea that we already have 148 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: them over hundreds of miles of our southern border, such 149 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: a dumb idea, though I've already been doing it. Their 150 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: argument is falling apart, but that doesn't mean they're going 151 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: to back off. And that's why I think that the 152 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: way this ends most likely is with the President using 153 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: his statutory authority to declare what is in fact a 154 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: national emergency play clip four. I have the absolute right 155 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: to declare a national emergency. The lawyers that have so 156 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: advised me, I'm not prepared to do that yet, but 157 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: if I have to, I will. I have no doubt 158 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: about it. I will. I have the absolute right to declare. 159 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: This has passed by Congress. So when you say, wasn't 160 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: it passed by Congress, it was. Other presidents have used 161 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: it some fairly often. I have the absolute right to 162 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: declare a national emergency. I haven't done it yet. I 163 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: may do it. If this does didn't work out, probably 164 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: I will know it. I would almost say definitely. The 165 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: president is doing here, is going through every step before. 166 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: It is clearly a last resort that he has taken 167 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: by taking this time to tell the American people just 168 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: how important it is for us to have a barrier 169 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: to go down there, to give his address, to make 170 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: the case without the filter of a couple of favored 171 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: mainstream media mouthpieces asking him questions or anything else. Just 172 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: take the case to the American people. He is changing 173 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: minds on this. He is changing minds on this. And 174 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: even if the Democrats will not accept that that is 175 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: happening or don't care that that is happening, it will 176 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: be clear that he has one on the merits and 177 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: has done everything in his power to convince the Democrats 178 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: to just give some funding for this. That's all it is. 179 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: This isn't some huge change in the law, This isn't 180 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: some constitutional crisis. It is just funding for a straightforward, 181 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: entirely common sense border security measure. That's it. It's not 182 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: asking too much. In fact, it's not asking very much 183 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: at all. Democrats probably won't go along with it anyway. 184 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: Trump will have to declare a national emergency. The moment 185 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: he does so, this will go into the courts, and 186 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: this will turn into a fight that will probably be 187 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: decided by the Supreme Court, maybe in time for the election, 188 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: maybe not, who knows. The judges work at their own page. 189 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: But then at least when Trump runs for reelection in 190 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and when people have had two years of 191 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats acting like maniacs on Russia collusion and pushing 192 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: for socialism and pushing for Bernie Sanders style massive welfare 193 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: programs that we can't pay for, When enough people have 194 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: seen that for two years, and Trump can look his 195 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: base and look his voters. Look Republicans and a lot 196 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: of whom were voting for him with deep skepticism, look 197 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: at them and say, I did everything I could. I 198 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: did everything I could to get that wall built. I 199 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: took every step as commander in chief, as president that 200 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: I could to get that wall built. Those voters can 201 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: look back at him and say, that's right you did. 202 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: We're gonna keep you in office, and we're going to 203 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: vote more Republicans into office, and we will get that wall. 204 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: That's how this plays out if the president sticks to 205 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: what he knows is right here. The Democrats are losing 206 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: the argument. Doesn't mean the wall it's gonna happen with 207 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: their funding, but they are losing the argument. And that 208 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: is what is most important. That has long term ramifications. 209 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: It has changed. Trump is changing the national conversation around immigration. 210 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: Right now, We've got more on this and then some 211 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: updates on Michael Cohen and all kinds of fantastic stuff 212 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: coming your way. We're just getting started here in the 213 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. I will be right back. We have a 214 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: lot of great things happening. The economy is incredible. We're 215 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: negotiating and having tremendous success with China, and I find China, frankly, 216 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: in many ways, to be far more honorable then Brian 217 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: Chuck and then I really do. I think that China 218 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: is actually much easier to deal with. Then. I gotta 219 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: tell you, I like when when Trump trolls Democrats very hard, 220 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: like he just did there. Yeah, is it? Is it 221 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: really fair? I mean, you know, China's in all kinds 222 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: of ways you nasty and dishonest in its dealings with 223 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: US as well as many other countries. But he's really 224 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: just poking at Chuck and Nancy for being slimy because 225 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: they are, because they are dishonest, because they're huge hypocrites. 226 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: That's why I started the show out with that Obama 227 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: clip about how there's a crisis at the border, just 228 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: to show you these people that They don't care what 229 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: it is. They'll say anything. Whatever they have to say 230 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: for their narrow political needs of the moment is what 231 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: they will say they have. They have no principle they 232 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: have to protect. It's just about power. Where are they 233 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: in the power spectrum? How do they get more of it? 234 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: How do they defend what they have? That's it. And 235 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: I was saying that Trump is winning the argument. Part 236 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: of in the argument is being willing to poke at 237 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: the opposition a little bit. I have no problem, no 238 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: qualms with this. When Trump does it, you know, when 239 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: he keeps it within certain bounds. You know, he talked 240 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: about the whole temper tantrum issue. Clickliff nine. Well, the 241 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: news incorrectly reported because I said, well, if we can 242 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: go back and everything Speachi Dori, and you say we'll 243 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: talk over thirty days. At the end of thirty days, 244 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: are you going to give us great border security which 245 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: includes the wall or a steel barrier? She said, no, 246 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: I didn't pound on table, I didn't raise my voice. 247 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: That was a lie. What you should do is give 248 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: them pinocchios. Because if you asked Mike Pence, and you 249 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: asked Kevin mccarth that you ask anybody in the room, 250 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: they will say, because I know if I do that, 251 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: you're going to report it. But you guys reported anyway, 252 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: didn't your fake news? I love it. Man, he's calling 253 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: out Pelosi, he's calling out Schumer, calls out the fake news. 254 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: Gotta do it, got to do it. You know, the 255 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: Romneyite approach to dealing with the Democrats and the left 256 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: wing mainstream media does not work. Okay, the McCain style 257 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: approach of trying to cozy up to the mainstream media 258 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: and hope that maybe they're a little nice of you 259 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: does not work. Those of you who very early on, 260 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: many of you listened to the show, understood this well 261 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: before I did. What it meant that Trump was a fighter. 262 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: It wasn't always at all times and in all the 263 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: right ways, but it was when it counts. This guy 264 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: can throw down. And that's what he is doing. That's 265 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: why he's down in Texas. This is why we are 266 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: having a national conversation about the border, which affects our security, 267 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: which affects our economy, our politics, our culture, our rule 268 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: of law, all of it. Healthcare, the border, the economy. 269 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: That is the triumvirate, that is the try out of 270 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: the most important policy issues in the country. Trump is 271 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: tackling this one because time is running short, and if 272 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't fix it now and the Democrats get back 273 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: into power, it's all over. And he knows that. I 274 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: can say, I'm proud of the Trumpster. He's doing some 275 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: good work here. We got more teams there right there, China. 276 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: You heard the President many times during the campaign say 277 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: that Mexico would pay for the wall, right, yes, Okay, 278 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: so he just said this morning quote. I never said this. 279 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: That's not true. He did. If do you think, Senator, 280 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: that the President has misled the American people on who 281 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: will actually pay for this? No, and I don't think 282 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: that's relevant to the discussion, of course, respectfully, Senator, of 283 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: course it's relevant to the discussion. Either you tell the 284 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: American people the truth about more than five billion dollars 285 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: or you don't. Has he misled the American people or 286 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: has he been honest with them? Poppy, I understand your point. 287 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: I just don't agree with it. I just don't think 288 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: it's relevant to this discussion. The only real relevant issue 289 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: to this, if you strip away the politics and the 290 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: personalities and the dislike for each other, is can you 291 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: seem a nineteen hundred mile border without using in part 292 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: a wall or a physical barrier. I don't care what 293 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: you call it. And I agree with Kennedy here, Senator 294 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: John Kennedy that this is just a distraction, this weather Mexico. Okay, 295 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: maybe Trump was wrong about whether Mexican is going to pay, 296 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: but we're talking about should there be a wall. That's 297 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: what matters. Should there be a wall? How do we 298 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: secure our border? You know, Trump was making statements about 299 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: this on the campaign trail, and Trump went into a 300 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: little additional detail today to say, look, you know, when 301 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: I said they're gonna pay for it, I didn't specify how. 302 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: He also didn't specify when. So if we really want 303 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: to get into this semantics game, it's not clear how 304 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: or when Trump said this is going to get paid 305 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: for a play nineteen. When I say Mexico is going 306 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: to pay for the wall, that's what I said, Mexico 307 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: is going to pay. I didn't say they're gonna write 308 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: me a check for twenty billion or ten billion. Would 309 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 1: you're gonna write a check? I said they're gonna pay 310 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: for the wall. And if Congress approves this incredible trade 311 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: bill that we made with Mexico and Canada, by the way, 312 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: but with Mexico in this case, they're paying for the 313 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: wall many many times over. And Dan said, would you 314 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: do me a favor say that? And I do say it, 315 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: but the press sort of refuses to acknowledge it. When 316 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: I say Mexico is going to pay for the wall, 317 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Mexico's paying for the wall. And 318 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: I didn't mean please write me a check. I mean 319 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: very simply, they're paying for it in the trade deal. 320 00:20:54,800 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: That seems like a reasonable explanation of what a Trump's 321 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: position now is. You know, this seems like it's it's 322 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: important for us all to understand that, you know that 323 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: this doesn't really matter all that much either whether Mexico 324 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: pays for the wall or we pay for the wall. 325 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: The point is should we have a wall? That's what 326 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: you know. Chuck Schumer put out a twenty five billion 327 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: dollar border security package a year ago, almost to the day. 328 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: I mean it was twelve months ago. Border security package, 329 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: twenty five billion. Now they're saying five billion. They can't too. 330 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: It's not about the money. They don't want to give 331 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: Trump the win. They don't want to allow the President 332 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: to follow through on this promise to his voters. And 333 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: I think the biggest issue they have here is if 334 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: this shows the kind of results that I am very 335 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: confident because head of Border Patrol, head of Immigrations and 336 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement, countless border patrol agents. I mean, I'll be 337 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,479 Speaker 1: talking to them next week. I'll tell you what they 338 00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: say to me. I'm sure they're all going to tell 339 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: me what I've been telling me here in DC. If 340 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: it shows the kind of results though that Democrats have 341 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: been promising would never happen from this, then how can 342 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: we trust them on any immigration related issue? Then it 343 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: will have all been proven all along that they're just 344 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,239 Speaker 1: just lying. They're lying so much on this. Now just 345 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: for a moment of a little moment of fun here 346 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: Jim Acosta, Jimmy Acosta, who has really turned into the 347 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: closest thing in America to Ron Burgundy. I mean, this 348 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: guy is the gift that keeps on giving. He asks 349 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: the most disrespectful and smarmy questions to the President. He's 350 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: made this a brand now. He asks questions that are 351 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: meant to be degrading and undermining and just nasty to 352 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: Sarah Huckaby Sanders to Kelly and Kami, to other people 353 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: in the administration that this is what this is what 354 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: he does, this is who he has become, and he 355 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: races it right. He is um, you know, he's a 356 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: bad a bad reporter and doing very bad things to journalism. 357 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: But now we look at Acosta's video and I had 358 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: this thought today. He put out this video of himself 359 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: down at the border, and I thought, maybe, just maybe 360 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: jim Acosta is a false flag operation who is really 361 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: pro Trump and his whole purpose is that he has 362 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: infiltrated the mainstream media to make the mainstream media look 363 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: like a bunch of buffoons. Because if that's the case, 364 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: he's a genius, because he's doing an incredible job of it. 365 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: You get Jimmy Acosta down at the border, and there's 366 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: a he's at a place in McCallen, Texas, where Trump 367 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: is today. He's at a place where there's there is 368 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: a there are there are metal slats right there are 369 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: these metal beams sticking out of the ground. And Acsta 370 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: is there pointing at them and said, well, let me 371 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: here's what he says. Play sixteen, and here are some 372 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: of the steel slats that the President's been talking about 373 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: right here as you can see, yes, you can't see 374 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: through these slats to the other side of the US 375 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: Mexico border. But as we're walking along here, we're not 376 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: seeing any kind of imminent danger. There are no migrants 377 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: trying to rush toward this fence here in the McCallan, 378 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: Texas area. As a matter of fact, there are some 379 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: other businesses behind me along this highway. There's a gas station, 380 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: burger king, and so on, but no sign of the 381 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: national emergency that the President has been talking about. As 382 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, it's pretty tranquil down here. Oh, 383 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: you can't make this stuff up, folks. So here we 384 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: have CNN's white chief, White House correspondent, Okay, big fancy reporter, 385 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: probably making million, two million dollars a year, I guess, 386 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: maybe a little more. And he's down on the border 387 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: and he's at one place in the two thousand mile 388 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: long border. Now granted it's where Trump is today, but 389 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: he's at one one section from the border. And because 390 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: there isn't an active cartel shootout happening, and he doesn't see, 391 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, dozens of people making a run for it 392 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: across the border. One he's being smug about how it's 393 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: like there's no real problems here. It's a two thousand 394 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: mile long border, buddy, There's a lot of stuff going 395 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: on a lot of places. This would be like me 396 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: doing a live report from the South side of Chicago 397 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: and standing on a corner in Chicago where you know, 398 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: the south side Chicago, a lot of people live, go 399 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: to school, go to about their lives. I'm standing in 400 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: a corner in broad Day. Let's saying, well, you know, 401 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard there's a lot of violence and 402 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: shootings here, but like I haven't seen a shooting in 403 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: the last two minutes, So hard to think of something 404 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: just more preposterous. But let me also add to this, 405 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: it never seemed to occur to mister a Cost that, yes, 406 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: where he was, where there is a barrier, there aren't 407 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: a lot of illegal crossings going on where he was 408 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: because there is actually a physical separation between America and Mexico, 409 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: there's not as much cartel activity. Maybe because of the barrier. 410 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: Jim didn't think that one through, did he. What he 411 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: thought was a smug moment of big j journo lism 412 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: turned out to be something of a short advertisement for 413 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: our barrier and then he tried to double down with 414 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: a later tweet and say, well, you know there's defence. 415 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: This border doesn't go the whole way. There's only some 416 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: mesh fence that are Yeah, but you know what, by 417 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: cutting off some areas of the border, you can more 418 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: efficiently deploy your resources to protect those areas where you 419 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: don't yet have a barrier, which means that it is 420 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 1: harder to cross even in those areas. Right. Well, this 421 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: is so easy to figure out if you if you're 422 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 1: willing to think about it. But they don't want to 423 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: think about this stuff. They just want to demagogue it. 424 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: And if you have a you know, the end zone 425 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: to a football field, and you're told you have to 426 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: run into that zone, end zone, and and there are 427 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: two people that are that are waiting for you in 428 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,239 Speaker 1: the ten yardland, they're gonna try to stop you. And 429 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: then I say to you, oh, actually, you know what, 430 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: We're going to put a wall up that's ten feet 431 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: high for half of the end zone. Is it easier 432 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: or harder for the two people trying to stop you 433 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: from running in to prevent that entry? You know the answer? Right, 434 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: same same principle applies to the sections of the wall 435 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: and building out those sections to make them more robust, 436 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: harder to penetrate. It means that there's a there's a 437 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: multiplier effect. It means that every aspect of the barrier wall, 438 00:27:55,320 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: or rather every aspect of border security, becomes more effective. 439 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: There's less territory that border patrol, that the drones, that 440 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: the censors, all the other stuff they talk about. There's 441 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: less territory they have to cover. I mean, it's going 442 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: to be better everywhere. Right. This is why their argument 443 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: is garbage. Their argument is not honest, it's not real, 444 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: and they're starting to get a little terrified that if 445 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: people just pay attention long enough, they're going to figure 446 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: this out. People who enter the United States without our permission, 447 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: our illegal aliens, and illegal aliens should not be treated 448 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: the same as people who entered the US legally. I 449 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: voted numerous times when I was a Senator to spend 450 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal 451 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: immigrants from coming in. Those who enter our country illegally 452 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law. 453 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: And because we live in an age where terrorists are 454 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: challenging our border, we cannot allow people to pour into 455 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: the US undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. All of us agree 456 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: that we need to have comprehensive bipartisan immigration reform that 457 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: can only begin strong border control. We must have that 458 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: we must control our borders. Wait, that sounds so mean 459 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: and so racist. How could the Democrats say all that stuff. 460 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm so confused. I thought I thought that if you 461 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: were a kind person, you just wanted immigrants of all kinds, 462 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: legal and illegal. Illegal is even better because they're probably 463 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: even in tougher circumstances. Right, That's what we've been told 464 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: all this time. That's what they were saying, and now 465 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: this is what they are saying. Play clip three. President 466 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: Trump must stuff holding American people hostage. Might stop manufacturing 467 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: a crisis. Really, I believe is a manufactured crisis. With 468 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: the administration calling the situation at the Southern Order a crisis, 469 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: well that is debatable at best. I'm gonna say, how 470 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: stupid are Americans who still believe there's a crisis on 471 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: the southern border. I don't know how anyone watches Joe Scarborough. 472 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't know what they think they 473 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: get from it, what they think they learned from it. 474 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: Just as an aside. But now they're saying it's a 475 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: manufactured crisis. It used to be we all agreed that 476 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: it was bad what was going on the border, But 477 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: now we're being told that this is all I don't know, 478 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,959 Speaker 1: it's all being made up. It's it's just not true. 479 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: And you know, what you what you find from this 480 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: whole situation, what you figure out for this whole situation 481 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: is that the Democrats don't really care about the downside. 482 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: They don't really care about what it means to have 483 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: a border that is not secure. And you know, let's 484 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: keep in mind the idea of a secure border is 485 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: not a fantasy. Our northern borders pretty secure, right, and 486 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: it's law longer than our southern border, right. I mean, 487 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: our northern border isn't a place where we have to worry. 488 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: You don't have the drugs coming across. You don't have 489 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: the millions and millions of illegals streaming in, right, So 490 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: it's not some fantasy. We don't have to accept a 491 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: world in which we have this poorous border with all 492 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: this bad stuff happening. Other countries don't have this, Other 493 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: countries would not accept this, So why should we Why 494 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: should we be okay with the status quo, which has 495 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: been going on for decades and which Republicans unfortunately bear 496 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: a lot of responsibility for as well, not as much 497 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: as the Democrats. But what they've what the Republicans have 498 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: been doing, is bowing to the needs of the Chamber 499 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: of Commerce and the big business owners and a lot 500 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: of the donor class by saying, okay, so we'll just 501 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, we like it, you can pay these illegals 502 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: even last I get it. It's good for profits, good 503 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: for business. So they just sort of go with it. 504 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: They just have and going along with it. And now 505 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: it's finally too much. But it's hard to hear this 506 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: debate and not feel like, ultimately Democrats don't care that 507 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: much about the crime that happens because of our hoors border. 508 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: They say things like, immigrants commit fewer crimes than you know, 509 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: native foreign Americans. They say that, and then there's all 510 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: kinds of back and forth over whether those statistics are 511 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: even true and whether they are cherry picking, you know, 512 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 1: certain stats over others. Because illegal immigrants do commit crimes 513 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: certainly more than legal immigrants do, and it does not 514 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: stand to reason that the illegal immigrant population commits fewer 515 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: crimes than all all Americans. That just that just doesn't 516 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: doesn't add up, doesn't make sense. As I've said, you 517 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: look at the just go go right now on the 518 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: website of you know, the LA County ten most wanted 519 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: and tell me if you think that it's now grant. 520 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: It's a lot a lot of the names you see, 521 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: maybe they're sit I can't tell you. I don't know, 522 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: but a lot of them aren't. A lot of them are. 523 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: But back to Oh, by the way, the Democrats, whether 524 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: they care about Trump is making this point. I think 525 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: it's a very important one that the crime that happens 526 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: to the border is just it's irrelevant to Democrats. They 527 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: seem to have no interest in talking about this or 528 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: dealing with this. In fact, they would rather pretend that 529 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: there's no problem at all, that there's nothing really to 530 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: be worried about at our southern border. Play clip five. 531 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: There is no reason why we can't come to a deal. 532 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: But you have another side that doesn't care about border security. 533 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: The Democrats, which I've been saying all along, they don't 534 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: give a damn about crime. They don't care about prime, 535 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: they don't care about gang members coming in and stamping 536 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: people and cutting people up. They don't care about crime. 537 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: And if they're not going to care about crime, then 538 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: I agree they shouldn't do anything as the border. But 539 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: I care about crime, and I care about drugs, with 540 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: spending a fortune on trying to stop drugs, and they 541 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: pour in through the border. But I see it more 542 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: now than ever before. The Democrats don't care about the 543 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: border and they don't care about prime. It's true. You know, 544 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: did you ever hear Bush? Did you ever hear a 545 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: Republican before before Trump came along who would say it 546 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: in that way, with that kind of of clarity and conviction. 547 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: What he's saying is just true. This doesn't really matter 548 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: to Democrats whenever they talk about border security. You know 549 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: what always comes up very you'll hear Democrat politicians do this. 550 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: Let's say, oh, well, yeah, we want more borderscuity, we 551 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: need more judges. Okay, they just want more people to 552 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: process the waving in of illegals and finding with their 553 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: ACLU and and other you know, activist organization lawyers that 554 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: are provided to these to these immigrants as much as 555 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: they can and tell them, yeah, that's right, you get 556 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: to stay. That's what they want. They just want a 557 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: more streamlined process for accepting people to come into the country. 558 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: And we're going to see how this all works out. 559 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: Is a president mentioned today, there's another caravan and Honduras. 560 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: This problem is not going away. It's not a crisis. 561 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: We've got whole caravans of people showing up to enter 562 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 1: the country illegally. I think that's a crisis. I think 563 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: the Democrats know it's a crisis too, but they won't 564 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: admit it. Man, it must be exhausting to be one 565 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: of these snowflake libs who get so upset over the 566 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: smallest thing all the time and just wants to have 567 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: sit ins and require safe spaces. You know, maybe they 568 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: just need some delicious coffee.

They've been taken 584 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: off by a group that's so far left. I really 585 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: don't think they care about drive that don't care about gangs, 586 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 1: but they don't care about human traffick, game that drugs. 587 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: They don't care about anything. I'll tell you what. They 588 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: have gone racy. They have gone crazy. You know. Trump 589 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: is making a broad point here that I try to 590 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: make on this show on a regular basis. I mean, 591 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: the left has radicalized. If you go back and look 592 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: at where the Democratic Party was even twenty years ago 593 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: and where they are today, it's almost unrecognizable in many ways. 594 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: I Mean, the only similarities are that they were still 595 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: very favorable toward you know, labor, and they're still identity politics, 596 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: but on the actual positions that they were fighting for. 597 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: You would be hard pressed to find anybody that could 598 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: have told you even ten years ago that we would 599 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: be now where we are. I mean, just look at them, 600 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: Look at the major policy fights going on in this 601 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: country right now. If we just break them down one 602 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: by one on let's start of the time on immigration. 603 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: I have been making the case to you and I 604 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: really do believe it that the Democrat Party is now 605 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: in favor of illegal immigration, clearly in favor of mass amnesty, 606 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: and no longer cares about the laws when it comes 607 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: to immigration, wants a state of continued law breaking and 608 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: lawlessness when it comes to immigration because they've decided that 609 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: it benefits their political power. That's a big shift. The 610 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: New York Times is writing editorials back in the late 611 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: nineties early two thousands about how illegal immigration was a 612 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: big problem. In the early two thousands, Democrats would say 613 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,359 Speaker 1: Obama would say illegal immigration was a problem. They would 614 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: say it, they didn't mean it because the country's not 615 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: with them yet and they know it. They figured the 616 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: country will be with them when they've made twenty million illegals, 617 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 1: you know, new Americans. Because let's also be clear. With 618 00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: amnesty will come voting rights. Does anybody really leave for 619 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: one second that the Democrats will accept drawing a line 620 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 1: at citizenship and voting rights for a constituency that will 621 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: be at least at least you know, twelve million whatever 622 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: they say officially, I say twenty million strong. Of course not. 623 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: They'll do everything they can. I mean that there'll be 624 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: an endless array of lawsuits and you'll get these activist 625 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,399 Speaker 1: judges that will say, oh, well, you know they under 626 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: this interpretation or that interpretation, and you know whatever, some 627 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,720 Speaker 1: kind of hocus pocus. Yeah, you know, the new amnesty crowd. 628 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 1: They all get to vote. Now, they get to vote. 629 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 1: They'll certainly be allowed to vote in you know, local elections, 630 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 1: and from there, obviously they'll just expand their power base 631 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: even more so. On immigration, they're extremists. On abortion, they've 632 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: always been extremists, so we can just put that in 633 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: this list. But that that they haven't changed really on abortion. 634 00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: They've been in favor of abortion at all, all, nine 635 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: months of a pregnancy for any reason or no reason. 636 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: So they have they've been consistent on that, demonic as 637 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: it is. They've been consistent on healthcare. We're now talking 638 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: about single payer. They weren't pushing for single You know, 639 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: Obama wouldn't go for single payer because that was too extreme, 640 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: as we were told at time. That's probably why he 641 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: lied a whole bunch about it. Remember this play clip twenty. 642 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,360 Speaker 1: If you have your plan and you like it, and 643 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: you like your doctor, that you don't have to change plans. 644 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: The government is not going to make you change plans. 645 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: You're going to have a plan that lowers premiums by 646 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars. If you like your insurance plan, 647 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: you will keep it. No one will be able to 648 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: take that away from it. We will start by reducing 649 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,280 Speaker 1: premiums by as much as twenty five hundred dollars per family. 650 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 1: You can keep your choice of doctor, keep your plan, says, 651 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: you can keep your plan. It turns out you can't 652 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: keep your plan. But and he knew that you couldn't 653 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: keep your plan. Now we get lectured, of course, on 654 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: the need for truth and politics, but Obama on the 655 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 1: single signature issue of his administration, that that was an 656 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: essential lie to sell it. That was that was not 657 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: just something that came up, and he got a little 658 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: caught up in the moment. That was a repeated intentional 659 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 1: lie to fool the American electorate so that there would 660 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: not be pressured on Congress against Obamacare. Right, there would 661 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: not be Democrats who defected, and Nancy Pelosi could with 662 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: a channel gloved fist rammed through Obamacare. But now they're 663 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: talking about Medicare for all, effectively a form of single 664 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: pair which used to be considered extreme mouts assume on 665 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: transgender issues, this is one of the ones where they're 666 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: the most deluded. You know, Now a man or a 667 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: woman or not, you can't say they're different. We all 668 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: have to pretend that men and women are no, are 669 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 1: not different, because Democrats refuse to accept basic biology. Now, 670 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 1: the progressive ideology that animates the Democratic Party says that 671 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: there is no such thing as a real biological distinction 672 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: between men and women that is worthy of being reflected 673 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: in policy. You know, I keep seeing this now more 674 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: and more in restaurants. And I don't really blame the 675 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: restaurants either, because I just think they don't want to 676 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: get sued the I wantny problems. But I keep seeing, 677 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, gender neutral restrooms, you know, are all genders 678 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: welcome restrooms? This is the direction we're going. Oh, we 679 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,479 Speaker 1: were told under the Obama administration that would that that's 680 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: that's a slippery slope that will never go down. All 681 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: the slippery slopes that the that conservatives have been trying 682 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: to stand athwart history and say stop two progressives, right, 683 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: all of those have in fact been slippery. We are 684 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: getting closer and closer to the progressive dystopia that they 685 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: said we would never and it's really it's really a 686 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: combination of of Stadism, socialism. That's where we're heading with 687 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 1: all of this, you know, the destruction of God and religion, 688 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: the replacement of that with the state, with the government apparatus. 689 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,399 Speaker 1: This is happening. It's happening in this country right now. 690 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: And you see it, yes, through the border debate, but 691 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 1: through all of the different policy debates we're having right now. 692 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: Now they're straight up saying, yeah, we want a top 693 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,879 Speaker 1: marginal tax rate of seventy percent. There was a time 694 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: and we were just arguing abou whether it should be 695 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: thirty five or thirty nine or twenty or twenty five. 696 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: You know, now they're saying, yeah, maybe seventy percent. I 697 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: know not all of them are saying this because they 698 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: want to keep their jobs. But this is being brought up, 699 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 1: and it's being treated seriously, and there are people who 700 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 1: are trying to find ways to intellectually give cover to this. 701 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 1: I find that very troubling. But Trump is right that 702 00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: they that they're crazy, you know, just because they're the 703 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: other party in this country, and this is this is 704 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: an unsettling thought. I don't I don't else say just 705 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,720 Speaker 1: because they're the other political part of this country doesn't 706 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: mean that their ideas have some inherent validity. Just look 707 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 1: at the history of Europe in the twentieth century. You know, 708 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: there were some political parties that were for you know, 709 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: economic prosperity and rule of law and you know, maybe 710 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 1: make the schools a little better, a little more industrial 711 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: manufacturing based off it or whatever. And there are other 712 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: political parties that were like, no, we're going to be communists, 713 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna be national socialists. Just because there was a 714 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 1: communist party in x or y country in Europe, did 715 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: it mean that the communists ideas were valid, that what 716 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,240 Speaker 1: they were pushing for should be treated as though it's 717 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: it has at least some degree of seriousness and sincerity, 718 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: or maybe it has sincerity, but some degree of seriousness 719 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: that this is something that people should are doing. I 720 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,280 Speaker 1: think the answer is quite obviously no. Democrats have lost 721 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: it on a lot of these issues, climate change the mode. 722 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,879 Speaker 1: I actually, I just can't. I can't engage anymore with 723 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 1: these you know, on my Hill show, I got these 724 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: climate change scientists that come on, They're all, oh, you know, 725 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 1: it's so terrible, We're all going to die. And I say, well, 726 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 1: you know how, and what are we gonna do about this? 727 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 1: How is this even useful? You're not right. I know 728 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 1: you're not right. We're gonna find out in five years 729 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: that this set of projections, just like the five years 730 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,479 Speaker 1: before that, the five years before that, your projections are wrong. 731 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 1: Oh what a shock. But I'm supposed to you know, 732 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm not an amateur scientist. I am something of an 733 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: amateur historian. I guess i'd try to pay attention to history. 734 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 1: And I know these people are not telling me the truth. 735 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: But the truth doesn't really matter. Just as we were 736 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 1: discussing yesterday, with the intentional suppression of facts in favor 737 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 1: of a narrative that scientists are supposed to support, so 738 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:04,959 Speaker 1: scientific inquiry should actively be stifled. According to scientists, now, 739 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 1: not all of them, but some of them in favor 740 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 1: of a more righteous scientific narrative, right, a bigger goal, 741 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 1: climate change being the most obvious one. This is out 742 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: in the open up. This is what they're saying. So 743 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: I do find it, Tromba. I think Trump is right. 744 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:25,320 Speaker 1: They are they have turned into a bunch of wackos, 745 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,760 Speaker 1: a bunch of wackos, and it's getting harder and harder 746 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 1: to find common ground with them. And they're also just 747 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,799 Speaker 1: responding more and more with spite and viciousness to us. 748 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 1: You say, it's not a shake up, but you guys 749 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: are down, and it makes sense that there would most 750 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: of them, all of them, says Hope Poles. I just 751 00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,399 Speaker 1: told you, I answered your question, okay, which Poles? All 752 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 1: of them okay? And your question is okay. So my 753 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,719 Speaker 1: question is that's one of my favorite exchanges from the 754 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election. It was a CNN anchor and now 755 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 1: disgraced and disbarred attorney Michael Cohen. I think he's already disbarred. 756 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,879 Speaker 1: If he hasn't been, he's about to be. Cohen's back 757 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 1: in the news. Cohen's back in the news because he 758 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 1: will testify publicly to the House Oversight Committee before he 759 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 1: enters prison. That is the latest. He's going to go 760 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:40,280 Speaker 1: to prison in March for a three year long term. 761 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 1: And this is going to result in a whole rehash 762 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: of the facilitating of the payments to Stormy Daniels and 763 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: Karen McDougall. He also lied to Congress because of Trump's 764 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,360 Speaker 1: or relating to Trump's involvement in the Moscow Trump Tower situation. 765 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,799 Speaker 1: So Cohen's gonna go and and he's going to be 766 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,240 Speaker 1: answering all kinds of questions. And look, he is going 767 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: all of the incentives for him are to trash the president, 768 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,840 Speaker 1: all of the incentive storm or to trash President Trump. 769 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 1: There's no question about it that he benefits. The more 770 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 1: you know lurid details, the more damaging, nasty, destructive stuff 771 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: that he can come up with about the President, the better. Okay, 772 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 1: so start with that. You know, he very clearly is 773 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 1: gonna feel like he should just do everything everything possible 774 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: to just make himself less hated by the establishment, the left, 775 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: the media, because you know, he's a guy who has 776 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 1: been he's been really put through it. I mean, he 777 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: went from thinking that he had a actually won the 778 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: lottery by being the personal attorney to the most in 779 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,800 Speaker 1: many ways improbable presidential victor in the history of this country, 780 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: to being a guy who's now heading to prison and 781 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:18,840 Speaker 1: has been professionally ruined. But you're gonna have this is 782 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 1: going to be really the opening salvo. I think of 783 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 1: the Democrat extravagance of show trials that will occur on 784 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,840 Speaker 1: the House floor. You know, you're gonna have a lot 785 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,400 Speaker 1: of hearings and grandstanding and this, and it's just going 786 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: to turn into an anti Trump circus. And this is 787 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 1: what we're expecting. I mean, we're expecting that Cohen is 788 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: going to show up and he's going to tell them that, 789 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, Trump directed him to make the illegal payments. 790 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 1: They're going to say, oh, that's the low See, this 791 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:52,879 Speaker 1: is why I've known a long of course, it's all 792 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,240 Speaker 1: heading to impeachment. Of course, it's all heading to impeach. 793 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 1: You think they're gonna get this guy Cohen to stand 794 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,840 Speaker 1: in front of Congress and say, yes, I was directed. 795 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,720 Speaker 1: Remember he's a lawyer, he was directed to do illegal 796 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 1: stuff and he just did it. Yes, Trump directed me 797 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 1: to make the illegal payments. Yes, we were involved with 798 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: trying to subvert campaign finance law. Yes, I paid these women, 799 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: and you know Trump's laying about that too. And with 800 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 1: all this, you think they're not going to then have 801 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: the Congress, the Democrat controlled house, isn't going to file 802 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,319 Speaker 1: articles and the peach but of course they are. Look 803 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 1: at the bench that they have running in twenty twenty. 804 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 1: Beto O'Rourke, like some kind of lunatic, did a video 805 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 1: today of him getting his teeth cleaned and interviewing some 806 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,680 Speaker 1: woman who's cleaning his teeth about her life as a 807 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,879 Speaker 1: migrant or something. But the whole thing was just it 808 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 1: was just weird, man. I mean, it's just strange that 809 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,800 Speaker 1: they think that that Beto is so charming. Look, Beto 810 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 1: is a guy who married a billionaire and now he 811 00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:00,799 Speaker 1: wants to be powerful and relevant. Guys just deeply unimpressive. 812 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 1: He married somebody super rich, and I wants to be 813 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 1: a politician. I'm supposed to bow and genuflect over this, 814 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, man, I wish we would all just feel 815 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 1: more comfortable speaking truthfully about people that aren't impressive but 816 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 1: have managed to position themselves in the elite echelons of 817 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 1: our society. You know, people you know they have this 818 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,399 Speaker 1: or that credential or they or this or that thing, 819 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,560 Speaker 1: And you say to yourself, did they earn it? Is 820 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 1: it from Merit is their place in society based upon 821 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,040 Speaker 1: some degree of competence, or is it just they know 822 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 1: the right people or were born in the right family. 823 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,000 Speaker 1: And yes, I know Trump Bush. There are plenty of 824 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 1: people that benefit are tremendously from where they came from. 825 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 1: But you know, say what you're all about Trump? The 826 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,279 Speaker 1: guy won an election that nobody thought he could win. 827 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 1: And there are plenty of billionaires. You know, Michael Bloomberg's 828 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: not going to win the next election, all right, So 829 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 1: there are plenty of people that would never be able 830 00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,360 Speaker 1: to pull off what Trump did. So let's give credit 831 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 1: where it's due. But so they're gonna come out with 832 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaker 1: this Cohen thing, and they're gonna push for all kinds 833 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 1: of news stories and coverage over this, and then it's 834 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 1: going to turn to obstruction. You see, what we have 835 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 1: here is a media and democrat and unfortunately much of 836 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 1: the legal apparatus in this country contorting itself to try 837 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 1: to find ways to bring some charge against the President 838 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 1: United States for criminal activity of any They're just looking 839 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 1: for something that they can come up with right. You know, 840 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,720 Speaker 1: they all think about how prosecutor can indice a ham sandwich. 841 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 1: This is that mentality acceptance directly at the President the 842 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 1: United States. Find something to get him on, and we're 843 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 1: going to return to obstruction. We're gonna be hearing a 844 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 1: lot about obstruction. I think when does he set to 845 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: testify here? So I'm right on my dates. Well, it 846 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:53,800 Speaker 1: has to be as soon as he's going to prison 847 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,400 Speaker 1: February seven, so it's gonna be the next couple of 848 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 1: weeks he's going to testify. I think the documents are 849 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:03,759 Speaker 1: due on January twenty second, So I think that means that, 850 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 1: you know, here we are, we're going to see him 851 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks, and this is just 852 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: all gonna be more bash Trump, get Trump nonsense in 853 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 1: the media. You know. Meanwhile, I think the President is, 854 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 1: as I've been saying, doing a really good job on 855 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,919 Speaker 1: this on the border issue. I think that he's making 856 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,759 Speaker 1: the case the American people, and he's gone a lot 857 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 1: further than anybody else did. As an aside, here Bush was, 858 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,400 Speaker 1: oh it is February. Oh, it's February seventh that he's 859 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 1: going to testify. Producer Mike. Okay, I thought that's when 860 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,840 Speaker 1: he's going to produce. Ye, yes, sorry, February seventh is session, 861 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,440 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. So my producer, Mike's got my back, 862 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 1: He's got Overwatch. So yeah, February seventh, so's a few 863 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 1: weeks out. Oh, there's gonna be so much speculation. There's 864 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,719 Speaker 1: gonna be a whole mini industry in the media of 865 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:55,720 Speaker 1: speculating on just what Cohen's going to say. Oh man, 866 00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 1: it's it's pretty remarkable, it really is. They're just they're 867 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:08,279 Speaker 1: so frenzied in their hatred of Donald Trump. They'll do 868 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 1: anything they can to take this guy down. And I 869 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,880 Speaker 1: just give Trump so much credit for being willing to 870 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 1: stick it out. I mean, I can't imagine he could 871 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,800 Speaker 1: be just flying around the world with his gorgeous wife 872 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: and his beautiful family and you know, playing golf, hanging 873 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,239 Speaker 1: out doing TV. He didn't have to do this. He's 874 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,600 Speaker 1: not like the Clintons. This wasn't his path the riches, 875 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 1: but he's staying in it, and hopefully for all of us, 876 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,799 Speaker 1: he managed to stick it out to the very end 877 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:39,360 Speaker 1: six more years. Do you think you can change the country. 878 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 1: You should look to her generation they're take him to 879 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,919 Speaker 1: the streets. Protests are important, but changing the culture means 880 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 1: nothing if the law doesn't change. What did you say? 881 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:53,160 Speaker 1: Your name was Ruth bader Ginsburg. I want to be 882 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 1: a lawyer. I want to represent clients in pursuit of justice. 883 00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 1: So they're going to give you a corner office. I 884 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 1: wasn't what they were looking for. One said women are 885 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,799 Speaker 1: too emotional to be lawyers. Another told me a woman 886 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 1: graduating top of her class must be a real ballbuster. 887 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 1: That's from the new trailer for a movie that I'm 888 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,640 Speaker 1: going to tell you not to go see that is 889 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:21,000 Speaker 1: about Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the basis of sex. It 890 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,960 Speaker 1: is called this is another one of these movies that 891 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 1: Hollywood will make and Hollywood will congratulate itself for and 892 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 1: very few people will see, and those who do see it, 893 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,960 Speaker 1: if they're being honest, we'll probably say it was quite boring. 894 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,719 Speaker 1: I would also note that they did not particularly go 895 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 1: for a close likeness to Miss Bader Ginsberg, but that's 896 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 1: neither here nor there. The reason that they've made this 897 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,280 Speaker 1: movie at this time, and it comes on the heels 898 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: of CNN putting out a documentary The Notorious RBG means 899 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:03,320 Speaker 1: they are are actively promoting a cult of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 900 00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,239 Speaker 1: This is happening. This is a real thing that is 901 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 1: going on now. And the reason is because they are 902 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 1: gearing up I think for what none of them want 903 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 1: to admit is coming, but is increasingly looking like it's 904 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:23,200 Speaker 1: going to happen. And that is another Supreme Court vacancy. 905 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:29,320 Speaker 1: Another Supreme Court vacancy to be filled by President Donald Trump. 906 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,400 Speaker 1: And we already know. I think the most likely candidate 907 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,760 Speaker 1: is to fill that seat. It would be Amy Coney Barrett. 908 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 1: But let me just step back for a moment. Here 909 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 1: is a story from Politico, which tends to have some 910 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,800 Speaker 1: pretty good sources here in town. Even though it's a 911 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 1: it's liberal, but they do break some stuff. Trump White 912 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 1: House urging allies to prepare for possible RBG departure. The 913 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 1: piece go on the White House is reaching out to 914 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:05,799 Speaker 1: political allies and conservative activist groups to prepare for an 915 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: ailing Ruth Vader Ginsburg's possible death or departure from the 916 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,280 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, an event that would trigger the second bitter 917 00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:21,080 Speaker 1: confirmation battle of Donald Trump's tenure. The outreach began after 918 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:25,880 Speaker 1: Ginsburg eighty five on Monday, missed oral arguments at the 919 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 1: court for the first time in her twenty five years 920 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:32,320 Speaker 1: on the bench. The justice, who was nominated to the 921 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 1: Court by President Bill Clinton in nineteen ninety three, announced 922 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 1: in late December that she underwent a surgical procedure to 923 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 1: remove two cancerous growths from her lungs. Folks, the woman 924 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,720 Speaker 1: is the woman is eighty five years old. She's having 925 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:51,000 Speaker 1: cancerous growths removed from her lungs. I mean, this is 926 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:58,439 Speaker 1: obviously very difficult, very serious stuff. And you know, it's 927 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:03,560 Speaker 1: strange because really, only in the Supreme Court do we 928 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:09,720 Speaker 1: have this dynamic where it's almost like dealing with medieval royalty, 929 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,680 Speaker 1: where they only stop in some cases when they stop, 930 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:19,160 Speaker 1: you know, when they expire, when they pass away. This 931 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,439 Speaker 1: is not something you have in any other office where 932 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 1: people are actually waiting around saying is this person going 933 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 1: to be around for the next few years, because if not, 934 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:35,520 Speaker 1: there are major political ramifications to that, right, you know, 935 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, people usually look, I know there have been 936 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 1: some older presidents. Reagan was older, but people usually are 937 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 1: not thinking that an officeholder of any kind, a major politician, 938 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 1: is going to stay in that role until old age 939 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 1: takes them, and I think that it's symptomatic of just 940 00:58:55,800 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 1: how overly focused and how far too powerful the Supreme Court, 941 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 1: howeverly focused we are on it, and how this and 942 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:09,840 Speaker 1: how the whole battle around the Supreme Court is way 943 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 1: out of proportion of what it's supposed to be, because 944 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,600 Speaker 1: the Court became in the twentieth century a tool of 945 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 1: liberal super legislation, essentially an end run on the congressional 946 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,280 Speaker 1: the congressional authorization to write statutes, to write laws. Now 947 00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 1: you've got the Supreme Court for the last you know, 948 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 1: fifty or so years writing laws, well even longer than that. 949 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:46,080 Speaker 1: So I would just note that you know, this is this, 950 00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:53,280 Speaker 1: this creating of a Ginsburg cult is meant to prepare 951 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,640 Speaker 1: the prepare the battlefield for what's going to come. I 952 00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,120 Speaker 1: don't know how liberals are going to be able to 953 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:01,560 Speaker 1: handle this. There is no not a single person that 954 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 1: I can think of. I mean there's not I'm trying 955 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,120 Speaker 1: to think of how far back you'd have to go. 956 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anybody alive right now who could 957 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:13,920 Speaker 1: say that they have any memory of a kind of 958 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:20,160 Speaker 1: a strong conservative majority on the Supreme Court. And that's 959 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 1: a forever thing for a lot of people now, meaning 960 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,680 Speaker 1: that that would be for the rest of their lives. 961 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,040 Speaker 1: This isn't just a presidential election. This would be and 962 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 1: they've gotten so used to whether it's you know, Ohberg 963 01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,760 Speaker 1: fell or you know, just just look at some of 964 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,439 Speaker 1: these major cases, obviously Roe v. Wade, some of the 965 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:41,520 Speaker 1: biggest battles of the culture War handed to the left 966 01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 1: by this progressive activist judiciary. They're not prepared to give 967 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 1: that up. They're not prepared to accept that that's no 968 01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 1: longer going to be the reality. And so this whole 969 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:04,280 Speaker 1: Ginsburg situation, it's gonna get it's already getting a little tense. 970 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,000 Speaker 1: They think that she's going to bounce back and be 971 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 1: totally fine. But the left is you know, you saw 972 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 1: how much they were willing to debase themselves, how much 973 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 1: Democrats were willing to go to the gutter to try 974 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 1: to stop Kavanaugh, and the whole point of that was 975 01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 1: to destroy him and then make the the consensus candidate 976 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 1: would have become Merrick Garland. Right, that would be, oh, 977 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 1: just give us Merrick Garland, you know, and and Republicans 978 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,600 Speaker 1: licking their wounds might have said, okay, fine, you know, 979 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland's not that bad. That was the plan, and 980 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,720 Speaker 1: Marrick Garland was going to be a you know, not 981 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:44,360 Speaker 1: a radical lib but a trust a trustworthy liberal ally 982 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:49,240 Speaker 1: on the court, no question about it. This time around, 983 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,360 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't even know what they're 984 01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,360 Speaker 1: going to do if it comes up. I think there's 985 01:01:54,400 --> 01:02:00,200 Speaker 1: a very real possibility that. I mean, they were already 986 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,080 Speaker 1: marching in the streets, they were already trying to shut 987 01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 1: down the Capitol with protests and sit ins. I mean, 988 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 1: do you remember the shrieking before they were even the 989 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 1: accusations of sexual misconduct that were bogus, the lies, the 990 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:18,760 Speaker 1: smear campaign against Kavanaugh, utter disgrace the Democrats made by 991 01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 1: the way people are saying Kamala Harris or Kamala Harris 992 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 1: or ever say her name, is going to be a 993 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,360 Speaker 1: front runner for Democrats. I'm not going to forget the 994 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,720 Speaker 1: role that she played. It was her office that leaked 995 01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,920 Speaker 1: that memo or the letter rather about Kavanaugh, and it 996 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 1: was not an accident. And she was disgusting during the 997 01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:39,240 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh hearing, absolutely disgusting. I mean all the Democrats were, 998 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:43,440 Speaker 1: but she was right there with them. But liberals are 999 01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,320 Speaker 1: going to get very weird over this, and then they're 1000 01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,880 Speaker 1: gonna get very desperate. You know, there's only so much 1001 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,040 Speaker 1: you can do when a woman is eighty five, and 1002 01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 1: when anyone's eighty five years old and drugs struggling to 1003 01:02:55,680 --> 01:03:01,200 Speaker 1: come back from cancerous growths on their lungs. In any 1004 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 1: normal position, in any other job in life, she would 1005 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 1: retire in any other job in life. But there's so 1006 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 1: much at stake here for the left, the progressive activist left, 1007 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 1: that we're supposed to pretend this is normal. This is 1008 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 1: completely abnormal. She should step down. There is no reason 1009 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 1: for her to continue in this way, in this role, 1010 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:31,600 Speaker 1: except that the left insists that she stretched this out 1011 01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:37,560 Speaker 1: until the next administration. Well, this is again an illustration 1012 01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,960 Speaker 1: of how much human rights have completely fallen off the 1013 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,920 Speaker 1: agenda of the Trump administration. It is simply not a priority. 1014 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:49,640 Speaker 1: In quite the contrary, this administration that commonly makes common 1015 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 1: cause with autocrats all of the world and ignores or 1016 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:57,440 Speaker 1: downplays or diminishes the significance of any human rights violation. 1017 01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,320 Speaker 1: And we of course see that in the premeditated murder 1018 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 1: of Jamaica Shogi. Just lots and lots of cheap shots 1019 01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,960 Speaker 1: here from Adam Schiff at the administration. I mean when 1020 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,400 Speaker 1: I say cheap shots, it's maybe not even the right description. 1021 01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 1: It just falsehoods smears to say that the administration downplays 1022 01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,960 Speaker 1: human rights. This is now the left favorite game to 1023 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:25,560 Speaker 1: point at any human rights violation with any major country 1024 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,920 Speaker 1: around the world, that we have no choice but to 1025 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:35,040 Speaker 1: interact with Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, and to say that 1026 01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 1: the administration doesn't care about it is unfair. It's just 1027 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:43,840 Speaker 1: the administration. This administration takes a different approach, which is 1028 01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:48,120 Speaker 1: not to pretend that we can or should even try 1029 01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,640 Speaker 1: to fix all of the human rights failings of other 1030 01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 1: regimes around the world. That the best way to lead 1031 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 1: on this issue is to lead by example and to 1032 01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:02,560 Speaker 1: advance capitalism and rule of law and the prosperity and 1033 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 1: human dignity and decency that comes along with it. That's 1034 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,760 Speaker 1: the best thing that we can do. Yeah, sure, that's 1035 01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 1: it's words, but words only go so far. I would 1036 01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 1: note that the words you actually hear from Pompeo, from 1037 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 1: the State Department are right in line on those issues 1038 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,080 Speaker 1: on interests of human rights with what you would have 1039 01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,120 Speaker 1: heard from any other administration. This is just all a 1040 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 1: narrative Again, this is a construct that the left of 1041 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,920 Speaker 1: media puts out there in consultation with their Democrat allies, 1042 01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 1: and then they just stick to it, doesn't matter what 1043 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:40,000 Speaker 1: the facts are, you know, shift saying this stuff and 1044 01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,120 Speaker 1: this this was in response to a Pompeo speech, which 1045 01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:44,640 Speaker 1: I'll give you a little taste of a moment. I 1046 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:47,840 Speaker 1: think Pompeo is doing a very good job and overall 1047 01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:53,640 Speaker 1: is one of the bright lights of the administration. I mean, 1048 01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,000 Speaker 1: I think that he's He's exceeded expectations up to this point. 1049 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 1: He's proven himself very capable and able to both work 1050 01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 1: with the President and not in any way, you know, 1051 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,439 Speaker 1: get caught up in any of the palace intrigue that 1052 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:16,320 Speaker 1: has beset this administration. But the Kashogi thing, I just 1053 01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,680 Speaker 1: still can't get over. This guy, Jamaalka shogis not even 1054 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,880 Speaker 1: a US permanent residents, not even a Green card holder. 1055 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 1: This guy's just visiting here. He writes a column for 1056 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:28,720 Speaker 1: the Washington Post. So what that does not make him 1057 01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,240 Speaker 1: a Green card holder. That does not make him a 1058 01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,280 Speaker 1: US citizen. Now you could say, back, but what happened, Yeah, 1059 01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 1: what happened to him was absolutely terrible, But terrible things 1060 01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,640 Speaker 1: happen in many countries all over the world on a 1061 01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 1: regular basis. Now not quite at the brazenness and at 1062 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 1: the same level of barbarity that we saw from the 1063 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:54,480 Speaker 1: Saudias in the Turkish or rather in the Saudi consulate 1064 01:06:54,560 --> 01:07:01,040 Speaker 1: in Istanbul. But why is this our problem to solve? 1065 01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 1: And how do we think we're going to go about 1066 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,400 Speaker 1: solving it? Are we going to demand the de facto 1067 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 1: ahead of a foreign state subject himself to what to 1068 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:15,640 Speaker 1: Turkish justice? It's it's not a US person. The FBI 1069 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,960 Speaker 1: has no jurisdiction. You'll notice how that that took a 1070 01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 1: while to come out. By the way, there was a real, 1071 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:25,000 Speaker 1: a real desire to keep this under wraps. It shouldn't 1072 01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:26,760 Speaker 1: have been hard to figure out. It should not have 1073 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,040 Speaker 1: taken time to know that this is not a US person. 1074 01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,600 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, but there is a difference. Our government 1075 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 1: has to prioritize Americans and people that are permanent residents 1076 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 1: of America, but citizens and permanent residence first. That's why 1077 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,280 Speaker 1: you know, you know, if we we're going to go 1078 01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:47,720 Speaker 1: to war, you go to war for your own country. 1079 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:49,360 Speaker 1: If you gotta pay taxes, you pay taxes to your 1080 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 1: own country. You know, there's an obligation to the state. 1081 01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:54,640 Speaker 1: The state has an obligation to you, and that obligation 1082 01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,800 Speaker 1: supersedes what it has to just anybody anywhere around the world. 1083 01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,600 Speaker 1: But you know, Schiff, who is really moving up the 1084 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 1: ranks for the slimiest and just most disgraceful of Democrats, 1085 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 1: which is a special place to be. I will say 1086 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 1: shift here is being well, I was gonna say it's 1087 01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 1: being disingenuous. I think that's the only thing he really 1088 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 1: knows how to do. To say that Trump is making 1089 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:28,040 Speaker 1: common cause? What common cause with Russia? By oh, I 1090 01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:30,519 Speaker 1: don't know, giving more weapons to the Ukraine than the 1091 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 1: Obama administration was willing to do, by putting more by 1092 01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:39,479 Speaker 1: expelling more Russians and putting more sanctions on Russians than 1093 01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,920 Speaker 1: any other administration has been willing to do in the 1094 01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:46,680 Speaker 1: post Soviet era. You know, on what basis are we 1095 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,320 Speaker 1: saying that he makes common cause with autocrats? Oh, because 1096 01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 1: we don't want to set up a permanent forward operating 1097 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:57,679 Speaker 1: base in Syria as a counterbalance to Iran. Think about 1098 01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 1: the the thing, think about the the rationale here. Yeah, 1099 01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,040 Speaker 1: that's right, we need to set up a base in 1100 01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:10,760 Speaker 1: a country that we're not backing the actual government. We're 1101 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 1: hoping to form some kind of a political settlement that 1102 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:17,439 Speaker 1: the government, which is still the Assad regime, the government 1103 01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:21,679 Speaker 1: will never accept. And we're hoping to counterbalance Iran by 1104 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 1: what by being right next door? It just does not 1105 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,720 Speaker 1: make sense. But we're gonna have better visibility to what 1106 01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,640 Speaker 1: Iran's doing in Syria. I mean, it's not worth it. 1107 01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,680 Speaker 1: It's just not worth it. And that then brings me 1108 01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:37,680 Speaker 1: to how I mean the Obama administration was. And I 1109 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 1: used to debate this over at CNN. I used to 1110 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:43,000 Speaker 1: debate generals and former Intel directors and all kinds of 1111 01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: folks at CNN all the time. I used to wipe 1112 01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 1: the floor with them when they were trying to clean 1113 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:51,160 Speaker 1: up after Obama because Obama was terrible on Middi's policy, 1114 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:55,720 Speaker 1: absolutely abysmal, absolutely abysmal, because he always came from this 1115 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,559 Speaker 1: place of America's at fall for a lot of the 1116 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:05,480 Speaker 1: mistakes here. Radical Islam is really just misunderstood, and Islamism 1117 01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,839 Speaker 1: can't we can work with it. It's not that bad, 1118 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,960 Speaker 1: you know. Obama just had a very different approach and 1119 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,960 Speaker 1: it was a bad one. And that's why Schiff got 1120 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,800 Speaker 1: a little testy today because Secretary State Pompeia had the 1121 01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,479 Speaker 1: following to say about Obama's Middies policies Play twelve. The 1122 01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:23,960 Speaker 1: age of self inflicted American shame is over, and so 1123 01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 1: are the policies that produce so much needless suffering. Now 1124 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:33,800 Speaker 1: comes the real new beginning. In just twenty four months, 1125 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:38,040 Speaker 1: actually less than two years, the United States under President 1126 01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,800 Speaker 1: Trump has reasserted its traditional role as a force for 1127 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:47,920 Speaker 1: good in this region. We've learned from our mistakes, We've 1128 01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:53,599 Speaker 1: rediscovered our voice, We've rebuilt our relationships, We've rejected false 1129 01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,520 Speaker 1: overtures from our enemies. And look at what we've accomplished. 1130 01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 1: Look at what we've accomplished other Under new leadership, America 1131 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 1: has confronted the ugly reality of radical Islamism. On President 1132 01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,680 Speaker 1: Trump's the very first trip abroad to this region, he 1133 01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 1: called on Muslim majority nations to quote meet history's greatest test, 1134 01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:19,560 Speaker 1: to conquer extremism and vanquish the forces of terrorism. Indeed, 1135 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:24,040 Speaker 1: clarity on who our enemies are in the Middle East. 1136 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 1: It's been a very useful thing for this administration and 1137 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,920 Speaker 1: for this country. Got a big Hour three coming up. 1138 01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:38,080 Speaker 1: Team Stay with me.

New Yorkers 1156 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,479 Speaker 1: need a break. New Yorkers need a break? Do you 1157 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:50,400 Speaker 1: need a break? Do you work hard? If you work 1158 01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,759 Speaker 1: hard and you don't get a break, that's not fair 1159 01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:58,280 Speaker 1: for the first time. We will be the first senior 1160 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:02,679 Speaker 1: state in this nation to gear and teed guarantee all 1161 01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:09,080 Speaker 1: workers two weeks paid vacation. Kaiserville heem. De Blasio has 1162 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:13,960 Speaker 1: no pronouncements for you. He would like you to understand 1163 01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:17,559 Speaker 1: that you would get two weeks of vacation. It is 1164 01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,320 Speaker 1: they're boating to make you work during those two weeks. 1165 01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:27,200 Speaker 1: As you know. Bill de Blasio, formerly Warren Wilhelm a 1166 01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:33,080 Speaker 1: ka Kaiser. Wilhelm is a far left progressive close ally of, 1167 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,639 Speaker 1: or formerly I think a close ally of Hillary Clinton. 1168 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,840 Speaker 1: I think they had a falling out. He was like, Hilary, 1169 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,840 Speaker 1: you'll have to stop wearing the panserts. It's just not fashionable. 1170 01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:46,479 Speaker 1: And now he has gone from saying there'll be healthcare 1171 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:52,160 Speaker 1: for all New Yorkers to a fifteen dollars minimum wage. 1172 01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:56,600 Speaker 1: And you know this is oh wait, I'm sorry. We 1173 01:13:56,600 --> 01:14:00,599 Speaker 1: already have a fifteen dollar minimum wage in the state 1174 01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 1: of New York. This is getting crazy. But now we're 1175 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:07,080 Speaker 1: going to get two weeks of vacation. Now, let me 1176 01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,599 Speaker 1: say that that does not to me sound unreasonable at all. 1177 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,360 Speaker 1: I would think that most employers would want to be 1178 01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:16,160 Speaker 1: able to give their employees two weeks of vacation. I 1179 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,920 Speaker 1: would also note that I haven't had the ability to 1180 01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:22,320 Speaker 1: take a full two weeks of vacation in almost I 1181 01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:26,840 Speaker 1: mean I at least eight years. I can't remember taking 1182 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:30,880 Speaker 1: two weeks of actual vacation, meaning two weeks of Now 1183 01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,720 Speaker 1: they may say, well, Bucket's not taking it contiguously, and 1184 01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 1: I can understand that. But the point here is that 1185 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 1: you've got to do what the needs of the employer 1186 01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:45,639 Speaker 1: are to keep your job. And they deciding for all 1187 01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,120 Speaker 1: these people, deciding for these small businesses in particular, that 1188 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:50,960 Speaker 1: people are going to get two weeks of what is 1189 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,439 Speaker 1: a benefit that the employer can or up to this 1190 01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:58,200 Speaker 1: point could not offer, is going to have problems here. 1191 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 1: This is going to be issues. Here's what they say 1192 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,760 Speaker 1: New Yorkers need a break, Deblasia is talking about. They 1193 01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:07,639 Speaker 1: include one hundred and eighty sorry, five hundred thousand private 1194 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 1: sector employees who get no paid time off. They include 1195 01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:14,679 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty thousand workers in professional services, ninety 1196 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:18,720 Speaker 1: thousand retail, two hundred thousand hotels, fast food, pretty much 1197 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:23,200 Speaker 1: across the board, non union hotel workers, etc. Etc. So, Now, 1198 01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:25,000 Speaker 1: if you work at McDonald's in New York, you're going 1199 01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 1: to get a mandatory two weeks of a vacation time. 1200 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:32,799 Speaker 1: This is going to result in changes to the bottom 1201 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 1: line of these businesses. And if you are a business, 1202 01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 1: particularly a restaurant, many of the small businesses in New York, 1203 01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:44,840 Speaker 1: where you have a staff of four or five people, 1204 01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:48,800 Speaker 1: seven people, for someone to be able to take off 1205 01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,720 Speaker 1: two weeks, it can be a pretty major burden. I mean, 1206 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,040 Speaker 1: I know small business owners who basically never take a 1207 01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,720 Speaker 1: day off because they know that any day that they're 1208 01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 1: not there, the business does not really run properly. Now, 1209 01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,840 Speaker 1: keep in mind, everyone's getting Saturday and Sundays off, right, 1210 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 1: so we're talking about days off. I'm not including Christmas, 1211 01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, New Year's Eve and weekends. Obviously, people have 1212 01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:11,400 Speaker 1: to get some days off, but in terms of vacation 1213 01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:15,200 Speaker 1: days some jobs, it's very it's very tough to take 1214 01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,840 Speaker 1: those vacation days. I know people who work in a 1215 01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 1: whole range of industries where taking more than a day 1216 01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,040 Speaker 1: or two off is very difficult. Point here is that 1217 01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:23,639 Speaker 1: if you're not going to leave this to the market, 1218 01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:28,519 Speaker 1: there are going to be costs associated with this that 1219 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:32,160 Speaker 1: someone like Deblasio is not taking into account. Now that 1220 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,280 Speaker 1: small business is going to have to hire somebody additionally, 1221 01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:39,599 Speaker 1: perhaps to cover as a result of this new mandate, 1222 01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,200 Speaker 1: which means that that's money that comes out of the 1223 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,599 Speaker 1: bottom line of that business. And a lot of small 1224 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:47,920 Speaker 1: business owners are operating at a very small profit margin 1225 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,479 Speaker 1: to begin with, perhaps or even operating just barely at 1226 01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:55,000 Speaker 1: break even, and now you're just you're going to mandate 1227 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:59,080 Speaker 1: that they have to do this. Look, it's not on 1228 01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,800 Speaker 1: its own. I don't think this is going to be 1229 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: a huge, you know, a catastrophe. But de Blasio all 1230 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden has got into the news cycle a 1231 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,879 Speaker 1: lot because he's pushing for these very, very progressive policies, 1232 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:18,960 Speaker 1: and I think that New Yorkers are about to find out, unfortunately, 1233 01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:22,400 Speaker 1: just what it means to have somebody who looks at 1234 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 1: what's going on in San Francisco, look what's going on 1235 01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:29,760 Speaker 1: in LA and says themselves, Yeah, I think we could 1236 01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:33,479 Speaker 1: have a poop patrol here too. Sounds great. I don't 1237 01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,200 Speaker 1: think that's a good idea. I don't think that taking 1238 01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:39,880 Speaker 1: the progressive failures of places like San Francisco and Los 1239 01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,880 Speaker 1: Angeles from a government standard and then trying to duplicate 1240 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:49,559 Speaker 1: them in New York City is wise at all. And 1241 01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,799 Speaker 1: you know, New York is in many ways a gem 1242 01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:54,640 Speaker 1: of a place. I know that now I sound like 1243 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,280 Speaker 1: I work for the New York Tourism Board, but for 1244 01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:00,439 Speaker 1: a city of its size and dynamism and to have 1245 01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 1: so many people, eight million people living together, it's remarkably 1246 01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 1: safe now. It wasn't always, but it's remarkably safe. I do. 1247 01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 1: I am much more cognizant of personal safety issues in 1248 01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,800 Speaker 1: Washington DC. DC is just a much more dangerous city. 1249 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:21,799 Speaker 1: It just is. And York New York is very safe. 1250 01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,799 Speaker 1: The food scene is the best in the world. And 1251 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, you just just go down the list. I mean, 1252 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:31,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of every business, every opportunity, whatever you need, 1253 01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:34,639 Speaker 1: whatever you want, it's in New York. Except for beautiful 1254 01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:38,439 Speaker 1: beaches and year round great weather, we don't have that, 1255 01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, we don't have those things. But I still 1256 01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:43,439 Speaker 1: refer to it it as we SEEAH still think of the 1257 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,439 Speaker 1: think think of myself as a New Yorker. But even 1258 01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:47,439 Speaker 1: those you don't give a don't give a hoot what 1259 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:51,640 Speaker 1: happens to NYC. De Blasio is going to show you 1260 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:53,760 Speaker 1: that even a place that has had as good of 1261 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:59,440 Speaker 1: a run as New York with as much economic growth 1262 01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:04,559 Speaker 1: and and wealth creation, and it's easy for a LIB 1263 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:08,120 Speaker 1: to come in and destroy it. Libs destroy cities. It's 1264 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:11,519 Speaker 1: unfortunate but true. Look at major cities around the country. 1265 01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,240 Speaker 1: Look at the dysfunction in those cities. It has been 1266 01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:17,559 Speaker 1: liberal Democrats running them for as long as I've been alive, 1267 01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:23,240 Speaker 1: all over the place, and many cities are in decline 1268 01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,000 Speaker 1: as a result of it. Right, I mean these things. 1269 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 1: It's hard to break a city all at once. It's 1270 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,000 Speaker 1: hard to do something so stupid that you ruin a 1271 01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:32,040 Speaker 1: city right away. It takes time. But I think Deblasio 1272 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:36,160 Speaker 1: is going to show us just what a truly persistent 1273 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:41,360 Speaker 1: progressive idiocy can do to a great metropolitan area like 1274 01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,680 Speaker 1: New York. So we will have to see, you know. 1275 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:45,479 Speaker 1: I also had a chance to day to speak to 1276 01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:50,920 Speaker 1: a union representative for the LA public school system. I 1277 01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:55,439 Speaker 1: thought was so interesting, was she when whenever I speak 1278 01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:58,919 Speaker 1: to union representatives for the schools, it's all so classic. 1279 01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,960 Speaker 1: It's just about it's all about the kids. It's just 1280 01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:06,800 Speaker 1: about kids and funding for kids and investing. That's the 1281 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:14,080 Speaker 1: word they use. These very clearly chosen for the effect 1282 01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,120 Speaker 1: they have words when they really mean something else. They 1283 01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:21,360 Speaker 1: mean pay more, They mean more taxing of people who 1284 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:24,400 Speaker 1: are property owners to put more money into a school 1285 01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:28,519 Speaker 1: system that's already incredibly expensive, very inefficient, and failing. But 1286 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:31,880 Speaker 1: they'll say it's just about investing in our kids, investing 1287 01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,560 Speaker 1: in our kids. And the language they use is designed 1288 01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:38,599 Speaker 1: to distract from the fact that most of these school systems, 1289 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 1: these major urban school systems in this country, including in 1290 01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:50,719 Speaker 1: New York, are overwhelmingly focused on hiring administrators, administrative staff 1291 01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:55,080 Speaker 1: instead of actual teachers. That's where that's where a vast 1292 01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,559 Speaker 1: majority of the growth in major urban public school systems 1293 01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,400 Speaker 1: has been across the country. Tree they're hiring people to 1294 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:03,640 Speaker 1: teach English as a second language, They're hiring people that, 1295 01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, all these different things that they're not uh, 1296 01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:10,839 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're hiring bureaucrats who are in offices, 1297 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,280 Speaker 1: who process the paperwork of other bureaucrats in the in 1298 01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:16,840 Speaker 1: the school system. They hire superintendents and pay them, you know, 1299 01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:20,599 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty grand you know, that's that's what 1300 01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:22,439 Speaker 1: you see in a lot of these school systems. It's 1301 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:26,200 Speaker 1: just a giant jobs program all tied into the Democrat Party, 1302 01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 1: and that's why the teachers unions are so progressive and 1303 01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:34,240 Speaker 1: so very very left wing, and they're about to go 1304 01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:36,360 Speaker 1: on strike next week. I think thirty five thousand of 1305 01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,280 Speaker 1: them are planning to go on strike in Los Angeles. 1306 01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:43,160 Speaker 1: And I was asking this National Federation of Teachers person today, 1307 01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:46,320 Speaker 1: what's this is Los Angeles? I mean, you're telling me 1308 01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:49,439 Speaker 1: that they're they're not favorable enough toward teachers. Oh, first thing, 1309 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:52,720 Speaker 1: she says to me. First things, there's there's all this 1310 01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:55,960 Speaker 1: money being siphoned off to charter schools. And what I 1311 01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:57,320 Speaker 1: want to say, and I brought up, I said, so, 1312 01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:00,000 Speaker 1: isn't that parents you're talking about investing? Isn't that parents 1313 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:04,960 Speaker 1: saying they want to invest differently in their children? There 1314 01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:10,800 Speaker 1: whenever you hear union bosses for these public sector unions 1315 01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:12,759 Speaker 1: in any of these cities, whenever you hear a liberal 1316 01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,559 Speaker 1: mayor talk about investing in our kids, what they mean 1317 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,280 Speaker 1: is we're going to tax the productive people more to 1318 01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:20,559 Speaker 1: give more money to people who don't really do very 1319 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,000 Speaker 1: much and work for city government. That's really what they're saying, 1320 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,680 Speaker 1: although they'll never put it in those terms. It just 1321 01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:31,240 Speaker 1: makes me sad that de Blasio is gonna do all 1322 01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,000 Speaker 1: these things that are going to really hurt New York 1323 01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:38,559 Speaker 1: over the long run. And in Layah, we'll see what 1324 01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:39,920 Speaker 1: happens out there. I don't know.

Well, our friend 1346 01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:01,800 Speaker 1: Rahim Kassam joined now to address this question for us. 1347 01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:04,879 Speaker 1: He is, of course the author of No Go Zones, 1348 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:09,160 Speaker 1: fantastic book you should check out, and he's also writing constantly, 1349 01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:13,320 Speaker 1: including at Raheim Kasam dot com Raheim The Dream. What's up, 1350 01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:18,160 Speaker 1: my men, how's we get about? So? Where are you 1351 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:23,360 Speaker 1: seeing this rise in anti semitism specifically on the left. Well, yeah, look, 1352 01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean so a couple of years ago you had 1353 01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:29,800 Speaker 1: a situation in the United Kingdom where Jeremy Corbyn, who 1354 01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:36,240 Speaker 1: is a far left almost communist sympathizer, I mean literally 1355 01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 1: marches alongside hammer and civil flags, was elected the leader 1356 01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:43,960 Speaker 1: of the Labor Party. And since then you've had occasion 1357 01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:50,520 Speaker 1: after occasion of very very serious incidents of anti semitism, 1358 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:55,400 Speaker 1: jew hatred, to put a finer point on it, from 1359 01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:58,960 Speaker 1: within the Labor Party, the political left of the United Kingdom, 1360 01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,920 Speaker 1: so much so that the party itself had to have 1361 01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:07,000 Speaker 1: a full internal investigation. Well, since these last midterm elections 1362 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,799 Speaker 1: in the United States, I believe we're now seeing elected 1363 01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,960 Speaker 1: members of the Democrat Party of America who show those 1364 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:19,920 Speaker 1: same inclinations towards due hatred as the Labor Party in 1365 01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 1: the United Kingdom. And I'll give you some examples of that. 1366 01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:29,040 Speaker 1: Rashida Talaed, this new congresswoman who is probably most famous 1367 01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 1: right now for that video where she said We're going 1368 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:38,600 Speaker 1: to impeach the mother effort about President Trump. She accused 1369 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:43,559 Speaker 1: members of Congress of having dual loyalties between the United 1370 01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:46,960 Speaker 1: States and Israel. And the dual loyalty trope is a 1371 01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:52,479 Speaker 1: very famous anti Semitic trope that implies that a Jewish 1372 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:56,360 Speaker 1: person cannot be an American through and through that they 1373 01:25:56,360 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 1: will always have this underlying affinity and allegiance to Israel 1374 01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:06,439 Speaker 1: over the United States or over any other country that 1375 01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,120 Speaker 1: they might be citizens of. You also have the Los 1376 01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:14,240 Speaker 1: Angeles Times running articles that say things like, and the 1377 01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:18,479 Speaker 1: headline of it even was can you support an anti 1378 01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:23,240 Speaker 1: semit like Lewis Farakhan and support the Progressive Women's March? 1379 01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:26,200 Speaker 1: And their answer to the question that they posed themselves 1380 01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:30,880 Speaker 1: was maybe it's complicated. So you're starting already to see 1381 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:37,480 Speaker 1: the roots of this what is really a philosophical disease 1382 01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:42,479 Speaker 1: being planted in the United States. It's been it's been 1383 01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,840 Speaker 1: sort of a little bit of time that they've been 1384 01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:49,320 Speaker 1: trying to do this, with Linda Sarsau of course, famously 1385 01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:57,559 Speaker 1: anti Semitic, famously very very aggressive towards non Muslims and 1386 01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:01,160 Speaker 1: former Muslims, especially who who was one of the co 1387 01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,800 Speaker 1: chairs of the Women's March which is coming up. And 1388 01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:07,599 Speaker 1: so now I thought it was about time we shed 1389 01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 1: some real light on what's going on on the political left, 1390 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:15,240 Speaker 1: because for so many years now we've heard about the 1391 01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:19,000 Speaker 1: right and the old Right and the nationalists being anti Semitic. 1392 01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:22,640 Speaker 1: It turns out, as far as I can analyze, that 1393 01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:26,479 Speaker 1: it's been projection from the left all along. Why is 1394 01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:29,559 Speaker 1: it that you see in your opinion or him? Why 1395 01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:33,519 Speaker 1: do you see that there is this particular strain of 1396 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:39,960 Speaker 1: anti Semitism that finds a home in left wing politics, right, 1397 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,240 Speaker 1: Because because the left is you in America, and I 1398 01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:43,920 Speaker 1: would assume in the UK though you'd know a lot 1399 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:48,080 Speaker 1: more about it than me, is obsessed with identity politics. 1400 01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:53,120 Speaker 1: And yet in this instance, all of a sudden, Jews 1401 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,320 Speaker 1: who have been not just persecuted in modern history, but 1402 01:27:56,439 --> 01:28:01,040 Speaker 1: persecuted really for all of known human history. All of 1403 01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:03,960 Speaker 1: a sudden, are outside of that protected on you know, 1404 01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:06,080 Speaker 1: with some elements of the left, obviously not all of it, 1405 01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:11,640 Speaker 1: but find themselves outside of that protected category status. Just philosophically, 1406 01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,200 Speaker 1: why does the left find itself or put itself rather 1407 01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 1: in that position? How does that happens? It's a really 1408 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:23,439 Speaker 1: difficult subject to broach because it's filled with sensitivity. So 1409 01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:28,160 Speaker 1: I say this with you know, no malice intended towards anyone, 1410 01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 1: to take a step back and analyze kind of kind 1411 01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:35,120 Speaker 1: of way to look at things. It's the left isn't 1412 01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 1: so much about identity politics, but it's about victimhood politics. Now, 1413 01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:44,559 Speaker 1: Jewish people don't tend to have or need the victim 1414 01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:48,080 Speaker 1: of status as much as the left would like. It's 1415 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,879 Speaker 1: the same thing with Asians in America as well. Actually, 1416 01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:55,680 Speaker 1: you don't really see the left riding to the rescue 1417 01:28:56,120 --> 01:29:00,600 Speaker 1: of Asians, say in Hollywood. Asians are massively under represented 1418 01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,120 Speaker 1: in Hollywood, but you never see that being said by 1419 01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:06,320 Speaker 1: the political left. Because Asians tend to be in the 1420 01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:10,920 Speaker 1: higher percentage of average income in the United States. The 1421 01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 1: same with Jewish people. So it's more about, you know, 1422 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:17,559 Speaker 1: whether or not someone can be classes a victim and 1423 01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:21,800 Speaker 1: therefore leveraged for victims of politics for the left. So 1424 01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:26,040 Speaker 1: that's why I think that you know, white people, Jews, 1425 01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:30,920 Speaker 1: Asians and to some extent Indians from from South Asia 1426 01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:38,360 Speaker 1: don't necessarily find themselves the target of left and hugs. 1427 01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:41,479 Speaker 1: Now they don't really hold these people very close. And 1428 01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:44,479 Speaker 1: when you don't hold someone close like that, and identity 1429 01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:47,520 Speaker 1: group close like that, and there is a counter identity 1430 01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:50,839 Speaker 1: groups that's just so happens to have a big problem 1431 01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,880 Speaker 1: with the other one. So here I'm talking about Muslims 1432 01:29:55,200 --> 01:30:00,519 Speaker 1: who typically emigrate into the West with ingrained anti Semitic 1433 01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 1: ideas and values. Then that causes attention, and that's what 1434 01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:07,200 Speaker 1: the left, I think, is picking up. It's certainly picked 1435 01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,040 Speaker 1: it up in the United Kingdom, where you have the 1436 01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:14,080 Speaker 1: leader of the Labor Party marching on our annually a 1437 01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:17,439 Speaker 1: day called al Kud's Day where they march with Hezbollaa 1438 01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:20,920 Speaker 1: flags down Westminster and Whitehall through the center of London. 1439 01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:23,360 Speaker 1: And again you're starting to see that here in the 1440 01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:26,479 Speaker 1: United States too. It's not a surprise and it shouldn't 1441 01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:29,000 Speaker 1: be a surprise to anyone over the next few months 1442 01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:32,880 Speaker 1: and years when they see Lindasa Saw and Lewis Syrokhan 1443 01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:38,880 Speaker 1: marching alongside with the with the Democratic leaders. So watch 1444 01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,800 Speaker 1: out for it. Basically, ray amre you ging writing on this. 1445 01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:44,840 Speaker 1: Where can we find your stuff? Yeah? So actually I did. 1446 01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,920 Speaker 1: I just did a little rant today about it on 1447 01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:51,879 Speaker 1: my Patreon page that's patreon dot com forward slash Rahim Kassam. 1448 01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:53,800 Speaker 1: And yes, I will be writing about it in the 1449 01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:56,120 Speaker 1: next few days. But as you can tell from from 1450 01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:59,760 Speaker 1: how I'm putting it across in words right now, this 1451 01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:02,640 Speaker 1: a lot of unpacking to do around this because so 1452 01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,160 Speaker 1: much of it is still beneath the surface. So we're 1453 01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:07,160 Speaker 1: looking at I mean, there's a couple of people working 1454 01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:09,000 Speaker 1: on it alongside me at the moment, so we are 1455 01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:11,559 Speaker 1: really looking into getting down from the mitty mitty of 1456 01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:13,880 Speaker 1: where this is coming from and who's behind all of it. 1457 01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,720 Speaker 1: Check out Raheem's Patreon page, everybody, and follow him on 1458 01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:21,080 Speaker 1: Twitter at Raheem Kassam Raheem.

Thank you about always pleasure. 1460 01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:27,720 Speaker 1: All right, team, there is more show coming your way 1461 01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:31,120 Speaker 1: in just a moment, I'm going to get into a 1462 01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:33,080 Speaker 1: roll call, probably going to talk a little b about 1463 01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:36,559 Speaker 1: climate change first though, because there's a new climate change 1464 01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:40,400 Speaker 1: threat out there. Oh no, the oceans, get ready for it. 1465 01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:44,200 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, We're all going to die, folks unless 1466 01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:47,559 Speaker 1: we do something about climate change. Right. Doesn't that get 1467 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:50,840 Speaker 1: you all scared for a moment? Isn't it terrifying just 1468 01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:55,160 Speaker 1: to hear the words climate change? The same people that 1469 01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:58,759 Speaker 1: are telling you that there's no crisis at the border. 1470 01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:06,479 Speaker 1: There's drug smuggling, murders, rapes, legal crossings, all kinds. You know, 1471 01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:11,080 Speaker 1: riots may have all kinds of bad stuff, No crisis 1472 01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:17,760 Speaker 1: the border. They think that you and I are absurd 1473 01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:23,160 Speaker 1: for not believing that there is a crisis of climate change. 1474 01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:27,559 Speaker 1: And now we have the latest entrant into the climate 1475 01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:32,120 Speaker 1: change hysteria sweepstakes, this one courtesy of the New York Times. 1476 01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:38,839 Speaker 1: Ocean warming is accelerating faster than thought, new research finds. 1477 01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:42,040 Speaker 1: So here's what this, here's what. Let me just give 1478 01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:43,639 Speaker 1: you some of the details and then I'll get into 1479 01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:49,479 Speaker 1: why this is almost almost hilarious in how ridiculous it is. 1480 01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:53,519 Speaker 1: It starts off signists say the world's oceans are warming 1481 01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:57,360 Speaker 1: far more quickly than previously thought of, finding with dire 1482 01:32:57,560 --> 01:33:01,960 Speaker 1: implications for climate change because almost all the excess heat 1483 01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:05,520 Speaker 1: absorbed by the planet ends up stored in their waters. 1484 01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:08,880 Speaker 1: A new analysis just published Thursday in the journal Science 1485 01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:11,840 Speaker 1: found the oceans are hitting up forty percent faster on 1486 01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:15,320 Speaker 1: average than the United Nations panel estimated five years ago. 1487 01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:19,439 Speaker 1: The researchers also concluded that ocean temperatures have broken records 1488 01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:22,880 Speaker 1: for several straight years. Twenty eighteen is going to be 1489 01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:25,679 Speaker 1: the warmest year on record for the Earth's oceans, according 1490 01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:29,479 Speaker 1: to Zeke house Father, an energy systems analyst at the 1491 01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:34,720 Speaker 1: independent climate research group Berkeley Earth. Yeah, that sounds really 1492 01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:37,800 Speaker 1: independent to be right. Yeah. Ye, it's a booky. He's like, 1493 01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:41,320 Speaker 1: we just been receiving the planet, green energy, green revolution, blag. 1494 01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:46,679 Speaker 1: We have new politics, man, because people are nuts, absolutely nuts. 1495 01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:53,000 Speaker 1: But here's the problem with this. You gotta read down 1496 01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:58,439 Speaker 1: to the piece a little bit. Quote. Historically, understanding ocean 1497 01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:02,920 Speaker 1: temperatures has been difficult. An authoritative UN report issued in 1498 01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:08,280 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. Twenty fourteen by the UN presented five different 1499 01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:12,519 Speaker 1: estimates of ocean heat. Huh, but they all showed less 1500 01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:17,800 Speaker 1: warming than the levels projected by computer climate model showed huh. 1501 01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:21,599 Speaker 1: That means that somebody's got to be wrong right. Since 1502 01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:24,280 Speaker 1: the early two thousands, they've been measuring them in different ways, 1503 01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:29,000 Speaker 1: including use of the Argo, named after Jason Ship in 1504 01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:32,479 Speaker 1: Greek mythology. It floats something around in the ocean. But 1505 01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:37,880 Speaker 1: before Argo, researchers relied on expendable Baffy thermographs, which is 1506 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:42,760 Speaker 1: a sort of censor. But as it turned out, the 1507 01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:46,040 Speaker 1: downward revision brought that studies estimates much closer the new consensus. 1508 01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,120 Speaker 1: The correction made a degree blahb b blah bi blah, 1509 01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:52,519 Speaker 1: more errors, more errors. Essentially, they have yet to be 1510 01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:58,960 Speaker 1: able in the last twenty years to credibly measure ocean temperature. 1511 01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:02,720 Speaker 1: But now there's a new a new analysis out there, 1512 01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:08,800 Speaker 1: and shock, a bunch of researchers who rely on attention 1513 01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:13,439 Speaker 1: and research grants for their livelihood, for their work, and 1514 01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:16,040 Speaker 1: for their day to day lives to have purpose, they 1515 01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:18,200 Speaker 1: have figured out a way to crunch the numbers such 1516 01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:22,640 Speaker 1: that the warming is much worse than initially thought. I 1517 01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:29,160 Speaker 1: got news for you. They can't adequately measure ocean temperature. 1518 01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:32,400 Speaker 1: They do not have a way of doing it. They 1519 01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:36,720 Speaker 1: just don't. They just don't. I'm not making it up. 1520 01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:38,680 Speaker 1: You go through their history the last ten years, they 1521 01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:41,439 Speaker 1: keep getting it wrong, and getting it wrong by a 1522 01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:43,760 Speaker 1: degree or two means that the rest of it is 1523 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:47,639 Speaker 1: meaningless because we're only talking about a degree or two 1524 01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:51,800 Speaker 1: of warming. So if you're off by a degree and 1525 01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:55,040 Speaker 1: you're saying that a one degree increase is going to 1526 01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:57,320 Speaker 1: be catastrophic or a two degree increase is going to 1527 01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:04,479 Speaker 1: be catastrophic, then guess what your research method is bunk. 1528 01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:09,120 Speaker 1: It is crap, It is garbage, It has no meaning. 1529 01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,600 Speaker 1: You don't need to be a scientist to know this. 1530 01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:18,000 Speaker 1: You just have to not be an idiot man. There 1531 01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:22,880 Speaker 1: are a lot of people that abandoned common sense because 1532 01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:27,000 Speaker 1: this is a fashionable hysteria right now, just like Russia collusion, 1533 01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:32,320 Speaker 1: climate change, the fashionable hysteria for the hashtag science crowd, 1534 01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:39,240 Speaker 1: not actual science. Hashtag science. Rock and roll, fellow patriots, 1535 01:36:48,080 --> 01:37:02,200 Speaker 1: we made ours go up to eleven. It's time for 1536 01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:06,679 Speaker 1: roll call. Roll call time is your favorite time, team, 1537 01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:08,800 Speaker 1: because when I get to hear from all of you 1538 01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:14,840 Speaker 1: across the country and pick through your insights, your recommendations, 1539 01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:19,559 Speaker 1: your edits, commentary, all the rest of it, Joe kicks 1540 01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:25,080 Speaker 1: us off enough with soft butter and warm toast? What 1541 01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:29,360 Speaker 1: happened to the dubstep? And funky beats? Roll call intros 1542 01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:33,360 Speaker 1: shields high team from Joe, Hey, DJ John, what happened 1543 01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:36,360 Speaker 1: to our What happened to dubstep? Buddy? You're keeping that one? 1544 01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:43,840 Speaker 1: You know, keeping that one up? I feel a blow 1545 01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:50,040 Speaker 1: stick today. It's time for roll call. There we go, Chuck, 1546 01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:52,800 Speaker 1: thank you. I like that one too. That's a fun one. 1547 01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:55,000 Speaker 1: We should do some new roll calls for the new year. 1548 01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:56,639 Speaker 1: We are working on new music for the new year. 1549 01:37:56,680 --> 01:37:58,320 Speaker 1: Some of you may have seen we have new artwork 1550 01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:00,800 Speaker 1: up for the podcast. Now you can actually see who 1551 01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:03,040 Speaker 1: this Buck Sexon guy is when you download the podcast. 1552 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:06,680 Speaker 1: That was a This is what we call a branding improvement. 1553 01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:14,040 Speaker 1: So we got we've got things underway. Foe show. Yeah, 1554 01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:15,800 Speaker 1: dub dubstep. I feel like it's not as much of 1555 01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:20,360 Speaker 1: a thing anymore. Although electronic music in different forms keeps 1556 01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:23,840 Speaker 1: coming back, it will always keep coming back because I 1557 01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:29,160 Speaker 1: don't know something very very catchy about it. Julian writes, Hey, Buck, 1558 01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:32,440 Speaker 1: why doesn't Trump televise his meetings with Schumer and Pelosi? 1559 01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:36,120 Speaker 1: That way? They can't lie about what happened, and Americans 1560 01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:41,599 Speaker 1: America can see how disingenuous they are about securing the border. 1561 01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:44,040 Speaker 1: He's better off the cuff than they are, and he 1562 01:38:44,080 --> 01:38:48,479 Speaker 1: can call it transparency. You know, Julie, I agree with you. 1563 01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:52,320 Speaker 1: I think that the more that Trump can force Pelosi 1564 01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:55,920 Speaker 1: and Schumer to have to make their case out in 1565 01:38:55,960 --> 01:39:00,520 Speaker 1: the open, the more it is apparent that Pelosi, Schumer 1566 01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:04,479 Speaker 1: and the Democrats don't actually have real arguments here that 1567 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:09,160 Speaker 1: effectively what they what they do is a repetition of 1568 01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:14,960 Speaker 1: emotionally resonant talking points that don't address the issue of 1569 01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:21,160 Speaker 1: border security, that do not tell us what would actually work. 1570 01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:23,559 Speaker 1: They just want to tell us how sad it is 1571 01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:26,280 Speaker 1: that Trump is such a racist, or how the Republicans 1572 01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:28,600 Speaker 1: are so evil, or you know whatever, whatever such nonsense 1573 01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:32,920 Speaker 1: comes across their radar on any given day. But I 1574 01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:36,839 Speaker 1: like it very much when Trump had Pelosi and Schumer 1575 01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:40,160 Speaker 1: in the Oval office and was, you know, holding them, 1576 01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:42,040 Speaker 1: holding their feet to the fire a little bit. You 1577 01:39:42,040 --> 01:39:44,519 Speaker 1: can tell they didn't like that. You know, they've been 1578 01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:48,599 Speaker 1: hiding the Democrat Party, the progressive left. They have been 1579 01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:56,560 Speaker 1: hiding behind lies and boilerplate phrases that are meaningless, America's 1580 01:39:56,600 --> 01:40:01,680 Speaker 1: the nation of immigrants. Stuff like that mean list immigrants 1581 01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:06,120 Speaker 1: do the jobs Americans won't do. Well, we're talking about 1582 01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:11,479 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants here, and even when you drill a little 1583 01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:15,000 Speaker 1: further into these phrases, you can see that they don't 1584 01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:17,240 Speaker 1: They don't tell us anything about the problems we're trying 1585 01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:21,400 Speaker 1: to address. So that's that's one thing that I think 1586 01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:24,280 Speaker 1: we should all keep in mind. Thomas. So, I got 1587 01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:26,960 Speaker 1: that going for me, which is nice, Thomas Ritz. I'm 1588 01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:30,479 Speaker 1: in Virginia now, but I spent thirteen years in San Diego. 1589 01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:34,080 Speaker 1: If you have not been, go to Oldtown, great Mexican 1590 01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:36,960 Speaker 1: food and amazing margharita. Is well, Thomas, I will be 1591 01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:42,120 Speaker 1: in SD next week, at least that's the plan. I've 1592 01:40:42,120 --> 01:40:46,360 Speaker 1: gotten the all clear to head out to the San 1593 01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:48,600 Speaker 1: Diego sector of the border, see what's going on with 1594 01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:53,320 Speaker 1: that caravan, and and spend some time with the border 1595 01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:57,280 Speaker 1: patrol at a at a senior level, to do interviews 1596 01:40:57,280 --> 01:40:59,040 Speaker 1: and find out what the heck is really going on 1597 01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:01,160 Speaker 1: out there. So, because hitting the road next week in 1598 01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:04,439 Speaker 1: San Diego, if you are a team buck and you 1599 01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:09,680 Speaker 1: feel like buying me as salted margharita, perhaps on the 1600 01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,759 Speaker 1: beaches of La Joya. You know, reach out on Facebook. 1601 01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:15,320 Speaker 1: I might. I'll be out there with my crew and 1602 01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:17,519 Speaker 1: it'll be around, so maybe we could all hang out. 1603 01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:22,880 Speaker 1: Uh mesa cool name. I say, Hey, Buck, Happy New Year. 1604 01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:26,120 Speaker 1: Glad to have you back. For the first time ever. 1605 01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:29,320 Speaker 1: I called my congressman. I left a message encouraging them 1606 01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:33,240 Speaker 1: to support the President in his effort to build the wall. 1607 01:41:33,960 --> 01:41:39,160 Speaker 1: Do you believe that calling and leaving these messages are effective? Ps? 1608 01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:41,680 Speaker 1: The Elizabeth Warren commercial was so cringe worthy, but your 1609 01:41:41,720 --> 01:41:44,920 Speaker 1: impression of her was hilarious. Shields high. I'm gonna get 1610 01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:49,280 Speaker 1: me a beer, oh man, Elizabeth Warren. I hope the 1611 01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:56,400 Speaker 1: Democrats in you know, in contradiction to all good sense 1612 01:41:56,439 --> 01:42:02,240 Speaker 1: and wisdom, I hope that the Democrats decide that they 1613 01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:05,479 Speaker 1: are going to have Elizabeth Warren be their person going forward. 1614 01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:10,280 Speaker 1: I hope that the Democrats are foolish enough to rally 1615 01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:13,200 Speaker 1: behind Elizabeth Warren. I think it's a real possibility. So no, 1616 01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:17,400 Speaker 1: I think it's a real possibility. And as to calling congressmen, 1617 01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, there's some many things in life where you 1618 01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:24,599 Speaker 1: can't tell what the immediate impact is, but you got 1619 01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:26,720 Speaker 1: to try. And I think that's kind of where i'd 1620 01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:30,360 Speaker 1: put the whole calling your congressman thing. Can I promise 1621 01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:32,280 Speaker 1: you that it's going to make a difference, of course not, 1622 01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:34,519 Speaker 1: But is it possible that it will make a difference? 1623 01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:37,519 Speaker 1: And is it worth trying? Does it cost you anything 1624 01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:41,280 Speaker 1: to try? That's really how I would I would gauge 1625 01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:47,120 Speaker 1: it if I FI were you. Marcy Rights walk this 1626 01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:51,840 Speaker 1: way for Aerosmith rap before there was rap, Marcy. It 1627 01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:56,400 Speaker 1: was an innovative song. But I don't I don't particularly 1628 01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:58,439 Speaker 1: love the song. It's a good song, I don't get 1629 01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:01,919 Speaker 1: me wrong. I mean, Aerosmith has a lot of excellent songs. 1630 01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:05,599 Speaker 1: I just don't think Aerosmith has any truly great songs, 1631 01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:08,640 Speaker 1: which is a controversial opinion. I know. And if you 1632 01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:13,360 Speaker 1: look at the greatest rock band of the last thirty years, 1633 01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:16,479 Speaker 1: so now we're not including rolling Stones and bands that 1634 01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:20,840 Speaker 1: really had their time more in the seventies and into 1635 01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:23,280 Speaker 1: the eighties. I guess I know that I know that 1636 01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:25,080 Speaker 1: you still have the rolling Stones. I mean, those guys 1637 01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:28,800 Speaker 1: are coming out on ventilators and being scooted around on scooters, 1638 01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:31,800 Speaker 1: rascals all that. Some of you still think rolling Stones 1639 01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:34,000 Speaker 1: are every bit as amazing as they used to be. 1640 01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:39,360 Speaker 1: That's fine. Nostalgia is fun. I agree, But I think 1641 01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:41,960 Speaker 1: you can make a case that the greatest American rock 1642 01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:47,680 Speaker 1: band of the last thirty years it's probably Aerosmith. American 1643 01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:50,080 Speaker 1: rock bands you're cutting because all these great bands that 1644 01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:52,439 Speaker 1: you think of are British. I mean, the Brits have 1645 01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:55,880 Speaker 1: turned out a surprising number of the greatest rock bands 1646 01:43:55,880 --> 01:44:00,360 Speaker 1: of all time. Obviously the Rolling Stones, led Zeppelin. The 1647 01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:02,760 Speaker 1: Beatles are a kind of pop rock. I mean, I 1648 01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:04,600 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't really know how you how you 1649 01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:12,080 Speaker 1: can quantify the Beatles. But nonetheless, Unnpan, Right's hi Buck, 1650 01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:15,120 Speaker 1: I love the show and you're a student analysis. I 1651 01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:18,960 Speaker 1: also really liked the songs and themes played during the show. 1652 01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:21,920 Speaker 1: I have Shazam the songs with no Luck. Can you 1653 01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:26,439 Speaker 1: share your shows playlist? N Pan? First of all, cool name, 1654 01:44:26,920 --> 01:44:29,080 Speaker 1: and I'm a guy who can appreciate a cool name. 1655 01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:32,160 Speaker 1: And second of all, I'll just say I'd be happy 1656 01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:34,960 Speaker 1: to show to play us, except I don't really know. Um, 1657 01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:38,960 Speaker 1: it's not music that we it's music that's kind of 1658 01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:41,720 Speaker 1: within the industry that you license. It's not music that 1659 01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:44,280 Speaker 1: you can find on playlists. So I don't really know 1660 01:44:44,320 --> 01:44:47,800 Speaker 1: how we would how we would do that, John, there's 1661 01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:50,920 Speaker 1: no you know, you've got to pay for the license 1662 01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:54,640 Speaker 1: to access that music, right, So yeah, you have to 1663 01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:58,080 Speaker 1: pay for the copyrights for them. So there's no place 1664 01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:01,000 Speaker 1: where I can give them to you because you can 1665 01:45:01,040 --> 01:45:03,960 Speaker 1: only we only there's no distribution mechanism for them, like 1666 01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:06,080 Speaker 1: they don't exist on iTunes, is what I'm trying to say. 1667 01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:09,200 Speaker 1: You'd have to be a you have to pay for 1668 01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:13,200 Speaker 1: this suite of music. Anyway, I'm getting a little deeper 1669 01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:14,519 Speaker 1: into it, but the answers. I would love to help 1670 01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:15,960 Speaker 1: you out in nanpan but I don't even know how 1671 01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,040 Speaker 1: we would do that. But I'm glad you liked the 1672 01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:21,960 Speaker 1: music and we got some new music on the way. 1673 01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:26,040 Speaker 1: Dan rights best song of the eighties? Look, man, love 1674 01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:28,920 Speaker 1: the show, but come on, guys, best song of the 1675 01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:32,160 Speaker 1: eighties was ac DC You Shook Me All Night long? 1676 01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:37,320 Speaker 1: Van Halen Jump or Panama or Guns n' Roses Paradise 1677 01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:39,680 Speaker 1: City are all better choices. Dan, I gotta throw a 1678 01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:42,840 Speaker 1: fake news flag on you here, buddy. A Sweet Child 1679 01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:45,519 Speaker 1: of Mine is just a better song than Paradise City. 1680 01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:47,920 Speaker 1: Paradise City is a great song. Don't get me wrong, 1681 01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:50,920 Speaker 1: but Sweet Child of Mine I think is a better 1682 01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:56,040 Speaker 1: overall song, and ac DC I like Back in Black 1683 01:45:56,120 --> 01:46:00,400 Speaker 1: more than Shook Me All Night Long. Van Halen, Yeah, 1684 01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:03,920 Speaker 1: Jump is Van Helen's best song. There's no question. I 1685 01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:07,640 Speaker 1: still don't know why you didn't throw def Leppard pour 1686 01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:09,479 Speaker 1: some sugar on me in this list though we're really 1687 01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:11,640 Speaker 1: going for the greatest rock songs of the eighties. I 1688 01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:13,840 Speaker 1: think that has to make any top ten lists. So 1689 01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:18,760 Speaker 1: I'm just putting that out there for you. Jason, Right, buck, 1690 01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:20,840 Speaker 1: why doesn't the GOP introduce a spending bill that will 1691 01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:23,960 Speaker 1: fund the payment of all government employees? Take away the 1692 01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:27,360 Speaker 1: biggest stick the Democrats have And if they refuse to 1693 01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:30,160 Speaker 1: pass it alongside the GOP, then who is at fault 1694 01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:32,639 Speaker 1: for no pay for those government employees? Well, Jason, that's 1695 01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:36,639 Speaker 1: I think I see what you're what you're saying here, 1696 01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:40,040 Speaker 1: but that's kind of where we are right now. I mean, 1697 01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:41,680 Speaker 1: the GOP has said, if you just give us the 1698 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:43,800 Speaker 1: wall funding, we'll pay all these We'll make sure that 1699 01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:45,920 Speaker 1: the money gets through for all these employees. Right now, 1700 01:46:46,080 --> 01:46:49,719 Speaker 1: the government shutdown, and this is all about pressure and 1701 01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:53,760 Speaker 1: focusing our attention at the national level. On it, So 1702 01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:56,439 Speaker 1: you know, I think that's kind of where we are. 1703 01:46:56,520 --> 01:47:00,280 Speaker 1: My friend Ryan writes, Hey, Buck, great show, well, Ryan, 1704 01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:03,800 Speaker 1: great choice in shows. Back during your blaze days, I 1705 01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:07,320 Speaker 1: remember Glenn Beck mentioning a film sitting on Netflix called 1706 01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:10,840 Speaker 1: Look Who's Back. Beck liked it, I imagine because it 1707 01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:13,439 Speaker 1: appealed to the never Trump kick he was on at 1708 01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:17,479 Speaker 1: the time. But it's a German foreign film about Hitler 1709 01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:21,360 Speaker 1: coming back in a modern Germany. He blinks dust himself off, 1710 01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:24,760 Speaker 1: wanders around Berlin until he finds a newspaper stand. That's 1711 01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:26,880 Speaker 1: all you need, isn't it, just asked Putin. He read 1712 01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,599 Speaker 1: one and said, okay, I can work with this interesting 1713 01:47:29,600 --> 01:47:31,519 Speaker 1: film for the Germans to cook up. I liked it. 1714 01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:35,280 Speaker 1: I've never heard of it, Ryan, so I have to 1715 01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:38,840 Speaker 1: take your word for it. And you know, I have 1716 01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:42,559 Speaker 1: two German foreign language films that I can recommend to you. 1717 01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:45,599 Speaker 1: One of them is probably in my top ten movies 1718 01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:49,640 Speaker 1: of all time, which is The Sleiban Der Anderen The 1719 01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:53,000 Speaker 1: Lives of Others. The Lives of Others is incredible. It's 1720 01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:56,000 Speaker 1: about East Germany, behind the Wall, behind the Iron Curtain. 1721 01:47:56,520 --> 01:47:59,599 Speaker 1: It's just really good. If you haven't seen it, see it. 1722 01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:02,760 Speaker 1: It's just a very very good movie. The other one 1723 01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:05,960 Speaker 1: is Downfall, which is about the last days of the 1724 01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:10,160 Speaker 1: Third Reich, and essentially it's made to feel almost like 1725 01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:13,479 Speaker 1: a documentary of Hitler's last days in the bunker when 1726 01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:17,679 Speaker 1: they realize that they're gonna lose. So I can highly 1727 01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:19,640 Speaker 1: both of those. The guy who plays Hitler in that 1728 01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:24,479 Speaker 1: movie is shockingly good. I mean, he is spooky, scary 1729 01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:27,000 Speaker 1: good at being Hitler. And the fact that the movies 1730 01:48:27,040 --> 01:48:29,280 Speaker 1: in German just makes the whole thing that much more authentic. 1731 01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:33,360 Speaker 1: Team that's our show for today, but I am excited 1732 01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:36,120 Speaker 1: to talk to you tomorrow.
