1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,120 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: Make no mistake, America, You're a great American. Again the 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins. Remember the nut. Now, Welcome to 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show. My name is Rahim Kausam filling 6 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: in four buck Sexton broadcasting live from the Freedom Huart 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: here in downtown Washington, d C. The phone lines are 8 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: open this evening, ladies and gentlemen, because I want to 9 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: hear from you. My favorite part of the show is 10 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: hearing from you. So the telephone number market down is 11 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: eight four four nine zero zero Buck. That's eight four 12 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: four nine zero zero two eight two five. We've got 13 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: a great show lined up for you today. I want 14 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: to talk about the the latest stories coming out about 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: Google and their lies. I'll talk a little bit about 16 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: the latest with Alexander Accascio Cortez as well. Of course, 17 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: we'll be focusing in a large part on the shutdown, 18 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: which is dominating the minds of the media at the moment, 19 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: and we're going to get into why specifically the media 20 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: needs to keep pumping up this shutdown. CNN obviously carrying 21 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: a shutdown clock live on the side of the screen there. 22 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many of you actually watch the 23 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: NN anymore, but for those of you that don't, that's 24 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: what they're doing. I'm talking about the March for Life 25 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: which is coming up as well as well as that Gillette, 26 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: advertisement want to hear from all of you guys about that, 27 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: And if you haven't heard about it, well, we'll get 28 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: into it with my good buddy Terry Shilling in the 29 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: next hour as well. But for now, I want to 30 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys the question, who would 31 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: have thought that a conservative journalist hopping her house's border 32 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: wall and erecting a caravan on her lawn would only 33 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: be the second greatest troll that Nancy Pelosi was on 34 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: the receiving end of this week. Yes, that's right. You 35 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: may have seen the images and footage of the conservative 36 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: independent journalist Laura Luma highlighting the new Speaker of the 37 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: House is hypocrisy over the past few days. She has 38 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: a wall on her house and you're not allowed to 39 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: go into her house. But that pales in comparison to 40 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: what happened between Miss Pelosi and the President of the 41 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: United States Donald Trump today. Due to jet out of 42 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: town on a military plane earlier on to Brussels, Egypt, 43 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: and extends Afghanistan. Miss Pelosi and her Democratic delegation were 44 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: grounded by President Trump following her own petulant attempts to 45 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: stop him addressing the nation in a State of the 46 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: Union address in just a few weeks. Yes, Miss Pelosi, 47 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: if you want to be childish, if you want to 48 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: play politics with the apparatus of the state, two can 49 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: play that game. It seems. A terse and frankly hilarious 50 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: letter was sent out by the White House today for 51 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: Nancy's attention. I'll read it to you now, Dear Madam Speaker. 52 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: Due to the government shutdown, I am sorry to inform 53 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has 54 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: been postponed. We will reschedule this seven day excursion when 55 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: the shutdown is over. In light of the eight hundred 56 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: thousand Great American workers not receiving pay, I'm sure you 57 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate. 58 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: I also feel that during this period it would be 59 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and 60 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: joining the strong Board security movement to end the shutdown. Obviously, 61 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, 62 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: that would certainly be your prerogative. I look forward to 63 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: seeing you soon, and even more forward to watching our 64 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: open and dangerous southern border finally receive the attention, funding, 65 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: and security it so desperately deserves. Sincerely, Donald J. Trump. 66 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: That is some top level trolling from the President, But 67 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: as with most things he does, whether or not you 68 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: see it or whether or not you get it, it 69 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: had a meaning a message to it. No, Miss Pelosi, 70 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: you may not grandstand on this shutdown while refusing to 71 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: negotiate and hot footing it out of the country. And no, 72 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: Miss Pelosi, just days after your Democrat buddies returned from 73 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: sunning themselves on the beaches of Puerto Rico at the 74 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: behest of lobbyists, you may not use the military to 75 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: travel around the world, no doubt wishing to grandstand there 76 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: as well. In other words, not so much you're fired 77 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: as you're grounded. Of course, President Trump offered Miss Pelosi 78 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: the chance to fly commercial for her trips. We'll see 79 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: if she takes them up on that. But what is 80 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: effectively turning to a tip for tat between the two 81 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: biggest political figures in the country right now was only 82 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: finally called childish when it came to CNN analyzing the 83 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: President's moves today. Now we know that historically the President 84 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: of the United States isn't actually obliged to perform a 85 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: State of the Union life from the US Congress. He 86 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: could simply send a letter or a video or perhaps 87 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: a series of tweets. But Miss Pelosi's attempts to stop 88 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: the President addressing the nation from the pulpit of the legislature, 89 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: you drew no such ire from CNN, though that was 90 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: reserved purely for President Trump. Let's play clip nine if 91 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: we can well, our nation's capital has officially become a 92 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: playground Brook. The President has responded in sort of a 93 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: childish way, is the only way to describe it. To 94 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to her letter, essentially saying 95 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: that the say the Union will be postponed or she 96 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: asked that to be submitted in writing if the government 97 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: is still shut down. This is the letter right here 98 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: from the President. The Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, I guess, 99 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: in lieu of having actual briefings here at the White House, 100 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: just tweeted this out it, says Madam Speaker, due to 101 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: the shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your 102 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We 103 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: will reschedule this seven day excursion when the shutdown is 104 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: over and lighted the eight hundred thousand great American workers 105 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: not receiving pay. I'm sure you would agree that postponing 106 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: this public relations event is totally appropriating childish, says Jim Acosta. 107 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: I think I agree more with Senator rand Pool on this. 108 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: On let's play clip four. I think that's a real 109 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: affront to the American people. And what I would suggest 110 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: is that Sarah McConnell's in charge of the Senate, let's 111 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: host it in the Senate. If this will be the 112 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: first time in history that the House would deny a 113 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: president the forum of speaking. If she's going to do that, 114 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: let's hold it in the set. So where do you 115 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: stand on all of this? A new pole shows, for 116 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: whatever those are worth, that the President is actually losing 117 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: some support from his base over this shutdown? Is that accurate? 118 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: Is that fair? Are you one of those people I 119 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: want to hear from you? Eight four four nine hundred 120 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: two eight two five, eight four four nine hundred buck 121 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: or do you think all is fair in love and Wall? Yes, 122 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: I said wool as in border Wall eight four four 123 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: nine hundred two eight two five is the number either way. 124 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: One thing I found particularly intriguing is that in the 125 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: same parts you know, they've been pumping them out all week, 126 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: only about twenty four percent of Americans say that they've 127 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: been affected or had a family member affected by the shutdown. 128 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: Could the Democrats be shooting themselves in the foot here 129 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: in a much larger sense than just the tactics surrounding 130 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: this particular shutdown. Could they be proving the I guess 131 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: hard line libertarians right the ron Poles who have been 132 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: saying for decades that government is bloated, far too big, 133 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: and pointing to plenty of evidence to back that up 134 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: along the way, showing that government is too large. That's 135 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: what the Democrats are doing here, and that hardly anyone 136 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: notices when it is shut down, apart from the government workers, 137 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: many of whom are apparently extraneous. You know, I've spoken 138 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: to a lot of people in this administration over the 139 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, in departments all across Washington, DC, 140 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: and they tell me they're actually finding that the staff 141 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: that are in attendance, you know, the workers that are 142 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: needed to keep the department sticking over, are actually finding 143 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: it easier to work and getting more done because they're 144 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: not being stopped, thwarted, frustrated by careers, people who have 145 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: made their careers in government, people who do not back 146 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: this administration, people who are there for the sake of 147 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: a job rather than there for the sake of the service, 148 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: and certainly not for the sake of doing the administration 149 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: any favors. That's what I'm being told, and there was 150 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: a very interesting article along those lines in the Daily 151 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: Caller this week as well. But those are just my views. Again, 152 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: I want to hear from you.

You have effectively 174 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: found that Google, the Google CEO, has been telling FIBs 175 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: perhaps over what he told Congress regarding the company's intervention 176 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: in search results. Is that right? Well, what sum up 177 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: I told Congress under oath last month was that Google 178 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: does not manually intervene on any search result. What I 179 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: found thanks to a leak discussion for it from inside 180 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: Google that was passing me from a source inside of 181 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: the company that we published yesterday and Bright Art News 182 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: is that Google does regularly engage in manual interventions on 183 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: most of its platforms in including Google Assistant, Google Home, occasionally, 184 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: It's main organic search engine, and also YouTube. What we 185 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: found was that YouTube actually adjusted search results for, among 186 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: other things, abortion and abortions. When you search for those 187 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: terms on YouTube. Now what will pop up is a 188 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: bunch of left win propaganda, essentially from buzz seeds from 189 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: the John Oliver Show from CNN, and those are all verified, 190 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: handpicked sorces by Google. And one of BS sources leaked 191 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: to us a message which showed that Google made an 192 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: adjustment to a fire to a blacklist file that it 193 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: keeps on controversial YouTube search terms. So whenever it wants 194 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: to promote the mainstream media the file left media in 195 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: a certain search result, they will add a first term 196 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: to this blacklist file. And the result of that change 197 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,599 Speaker 1: was that numerous pro life videos which previously featured in 198 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,599 Speaker 1: the top ten search results for abortion on YouTube disappeared 199 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: from the top ten. Even more incredible is the circumstances 200 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: under which that happened. The change was made to the 201 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: internal fire that adjusted the search results a few hours 202 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: after a Slate journalists got in touch with Google's press 203 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: tin to complain about the prominence of pro life videos. 204 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: So Google actually did this in response to a lesson 205 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: why the complain there there's too much pro life content 206 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: in the search results on YouTube. Wow, there's a lot 207 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: to unpack there. And there's there's a whole load of 208 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: these blacklist search terms that appear in your article, which 209 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: is entitled for those who are looking for it, the 210 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: Smoking Gun. Google manipulated YouTube searches for abortion. Maxine Waters 211 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: and David Hogu tell us a little bit about the 212 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: other search terms and what has been you know, effectively 213 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: covered up or or you know, buried by Google across 214 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: their platforms, and then talk to us a little bit, 215 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: alum about the implications of this for Google and specifically 216 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: the Google CEO. I mean, if he was lying to Congress, 217 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: let's say, that's a pretty big deal, isn't it. It 218 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: certainly is a big deal, aren't By the way that 219 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: that quote the smoking gun that we have in their headline, 220 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: those aren't my words. That's what a Google employee said 221 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: about the company adjusting a search resolves. It was in 222 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: the leag message past to us Google's own employees. They're 223 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: calling as a smoking gun and like as as you said, 224 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: there are a whole number of other search terms that 225 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: we released as part of the league. So they also 226 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: adjusted search terms for Maxine Waters, the Democratic congresswoman. They 227 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: adjusted search terms for David Hoggy, progressive anti gun activist. 228 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: They're adjusting search terms, ways did and another post in 229 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: the thread. So it isn't just on YouTube. Google about 230 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: has huge teams. Those are the words of Google employee. 231 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: Huge teams moderating search and Google Home, Google Assistant and organic, 232 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: Google Search resolves and super According to his post, sometimes 233 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: that involves training automatic classified for algorithms that will automatically 234 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: moderate the results. And sometimes it will just involve like 235 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: a manual action just going in and changing them. And 236 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: said they do that on search terms that are prone 237 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: to a hyperbolic and controversial and offensive concept. Obosina, I'm 238 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: not entirely I'm not a tour confidant in how Google 239 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: defines those terms hyperbolic, controversial, offensive. You know, the far 240 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: less company in Silicon Valley, They're going to define those 241 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: terms very very broadly. The implications, Yeah, it talk to 242 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: us about pahi and what it means. Yeah, in terms 243 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: of the implications, you know, I'm hesitant. I'm not a 244 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: legal expert, so I'm hesitant to say this, you know 245 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: there's something some crime committed here because you know, I 246 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: don't have the legal knowledge about myself. I'm just a journalist. 247 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: But you know, Senator Josh Holly asked the person on 248 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: Twitter yesterday, is this persury? I mean, that's it's certainly, 249 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: you know, regardless of what it is or it isn't, 250 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: it certainly looks bad. And that's that's a question. That 251 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: a new senator is coming in the former County General 252 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: of Missouri, so well, I mean, hold on, alum, I 253 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: this seems like a pretty big deal. And I've been 254 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: through this story and I've looked at your sourcing and 255 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: I've looked at them, the quotes and the links and 256 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: all of the comments and things that you've taken out 257 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: of the out of the blacklist. It all checks out. 258 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: I've got a pretty keen eye for these things, having 259 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: been an editor for many years. Why am I only 260 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: seeing when I Google this? Why am I only seeing 261 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: this story on bright bar and the Daily Mail? Where 262 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: where is the coverage in all the tech mags, the 263 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: tech blogs. Where is the coverage on the mainstream news, Well, 264 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: I mean the tech blogs. I mean they're essentially pr 265 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: for Silicon Valley at this point. You know, Silicon Valley companies, 266 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, do a great deal to win their favor. 267 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: I think the headline at Diverge yesterday was a story 268 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: about epexe. This has happened before, we ep yes, like 269 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: online pet that right, the big story at the left 270 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: wind texture outlet. I think the same deal with Past Technica, 271 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: Rico Tech Club, all these all these outs that are 272 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: supposedly there to hold Silicon Bag to accounts, but are 273 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: really just ignoring any wrongdoing that their engage in at 274 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: the moment, and that's happened before and other Google stories. 275 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: We relieve they just don't care. And you know, I 276 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: think it's partly because you know, they're in bed with 277 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: the tech cameralis there's off partly because they agree with censorship, 278 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: they agree with blacklisting. You know, these duds are all 279 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: leftling journalists. In fact that they have any criticism of 280 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley, of any of big tank it's usually that 281 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: they're not censoring enough. Normally the headlines are you know, 282 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: Why is an Alex Journ's band? Why Why isn't this 283 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: all that conservative commentator band yet? That's that's the agenda 284 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: of the left wing tech press and those of the 285 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: maintor immediate as well. Alum, we've got about thirty seconds 286 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: to go here. Just just walk us through why this 287 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: is important. Do a little reset for us. Why should 288 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: we be paying attention to the tech sector? Well, Google, 289 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: for which is what the story is about. Is you know, 290 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: the most biggest search engine on the Internet doesn't really 291 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: have a competitor. And if Google starts, you know, link 292 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: with elections and fiddling with politics, they can have a 293 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: massive impact on voters and the outcomes of elections without 294 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: us even noticing. Because there's no paper trail, there's no 295 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: there's no other sight, and there's nothing we're to keep 296 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: these companies in check or even know when they're doing 297 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: what I'm doing. It's extraordinary. Staff, Alam, Just tell people 298 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: where they can find more of this work from you. Yeah, 299 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: you can find all my articles at brightbat dot com. Right, 300 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: but Patty can form me on Twitter at Libertarian Blue. 301 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: Thank you, Alan Bakari.

This shotgun could end really quickly if 312 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: these union members you know of the the government union 313 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: that if they get ahold of their government or their 314 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: their leaders, are union leaders to go to Congress because 315 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: Congress probably owes these the unions a deal for supporting 316 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: them and the elections of Hit and Toll. Hey, we 317 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: want to be paid, you know, tell Congress, well, you 318 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: guys are being paid, why not us?

Bill? 320 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: I think it would be quicker than anything. And there's 321 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: the Congress and the union leaders are using their membership 322 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: as paused in that there there's just cheff in the 323 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: heck out of their members. How long has it been 324 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: Bill since since labor unions? I mean, I'm speaking from 325 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: a UK perspective. The labor unions are so very PC 326 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: and and and uh you know, establishment left rather than 327 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: rather than what you know, you used to have effectively, 328 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: which were which were pretty strong and fierce advocates, albeit 329 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: most of them on the political left. For as you 330 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: say they're members, how long has it been since since 331 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: they were really useful for their members? Well, they're shaft 332 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: one right now that you're right.

You know, 350 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: typically when the Republicans are in the White House, you know, 351 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: they they try so hard to be liked by the 352 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: Democrats who may be in charge of the House at 353 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: the Senate at the time, and they just uh you know, 354 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: power in in in fear, you know that they may 355 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: not be liked or accepted by the left. And Donald 356 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: Trump says, I don't care, you know, I don't I 357 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: don't care if you liked me or not. I let 358 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: me play Devil's advocate. Unplay devil's advocate, Tony. I mean, 359 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: you know where I stand on next But but but 360 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 1: we will play this game anyway. Um And I do, 361 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: by the way, want um people who disagree with me 362 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: and Tony Um to call in. I want I want 363 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: anti Trump people. I want people who think this president's intractability, 364 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: as Tony puts it, is a bad thing. I want 365 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: you to call in as well and make your case. 366 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: That's that's fair, and that's how we do things here. 367 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: Eight four four, nine hundred buck. So get on the lines, Tony. 368 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: What do you say to the polls that have come 369 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: out that show actually President Trump is taking a little 370 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: bit of a hit amongst his own base over not 371 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: the shutdown as in and of itself, but now the 372 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: length of the shutdown. I would say my response is, 373 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: I don't trust the polls necessarily. I think that, but Tony, 374 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: they got it so right in twenty and sixteen. Exactly. 375 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: I don't trust the polls, and even if they are 376 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: trying to do a sincere job of reflecting the public sentiment, 377 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: the public is not Donald Trump. The public is not 378 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: used to having this kind of intractability there they are, 379 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: you know, they're used to having to try to go 380 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: along to get along, and that's the natural reaction, you know. 381 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: But Donald Trump's not having any of it. So I 382 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: would say that, you know, he's not like the majority 383 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: of Americans. He has a confidence and a resolute spirit 384 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: that most people just don't have. So he's staying the 385 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: course and it's going to pay big dividends in the end. 386 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: Tony in Pennsylvania. Thank you so much for the call. 387 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 1: Here on the Buck Sexton Show Line two, Charlie is 388 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: in one of my favorite places, Ocean City, Maryland. Charlie, 389 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: you willis. Yeah, I'm here in Ocean City, Maryland. We're blue. Anyway, 390 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: when I heard about Trump grounding Pelosi, now I kind 391 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: of gathered that she was either boarding the plane or 392 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: getting ready to or or something. Right, she was on 393 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: her way, well, on her way. There was a bus. 394 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: There was an air Force bus that was being loaded 395 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: up with the congressional delegation. It was, it was already 396 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: on its way, and I think it did a few 397 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: laps of a few laps of the Capitol Hill and 398 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: came right back. Well, I would love somebody to have 399 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: their smartphone and record her reaction when she couldn't do 400 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: what she wanted, because these politicians do not understand. Trump's 401 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: a builder. I was in the building business all my life, 402 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: and I understand he operates on common sense and he's 403 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: not a politician. And that's what I really really enjoy 404 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: about him. He expects things done. So you you were, 405 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: you were gleeful about the tip for tat nature of 406 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: this Pelosi saying, you know, we're gon we're gonna stump 407 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: you from doing the State of the Union or or 408 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: you know, recommend that it's delayed or what have you. 409 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: And I guess maybe you agree with me, maybe you don't. 410 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm being unfam maybe I'm not. But I guess 411 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: the average Republican would have sort of taken that on 412 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: the chin or try to find a compromise, or apologized 413 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: or demurred away from the argument. President Trump and his 414 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: White House said, m okay, you want to play that game. 415 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: You're not going anywhere. Yeah. Well, I've heard suggestions that 416 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: he can kind of hold not a rally, but kind 417 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: of like that and give the State of the Union 418 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: address in there. That is that is entirely true. There 419 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: is no there is no obligation for the president to 420 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: give a State of the Union address to Congress. It 421 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: just happens to be a tradition, I believe, starting with 422 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: Woodrow Wilson in nineteen thirteen, but before that, I believe 423 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: the president really only submitted a letter or a written 424 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: report to Congress. How about how about my idea there, Charlie, 425 00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: what about a series of tweets He's actually learn at 426 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: that and I guarantee you with Pelosi. I've seeing her 427 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: face when she was shut down, and now if our 428 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: president tweets on that oh Man sheet, she'll blow her mind. Well, 429 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: we're going to be talking to Laura Luma later on 430 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: in the program as well. Laura trolled Nancy Pelosi this 431 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: week by jumping her border wall around her house and 432 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: erecting a migrant caravan on her lawn. And I'm looking 433 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: forward to speaking with Laura about that. I know she's 434 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: got some more plans to highlight the wall hypocrisy out there.

Well, 474 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: we'll see about that, you know, we'll see how the 475 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: interview goes. Sarah. I wanted to get your thoughts on 476 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: Alexander Occassio Cortez because everyone's talking about her, but actually 477 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: we're talking about talking about her, We're not actually talking 478 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: about what she portends, what she means, the threat which 479 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: I think she pretends for the United States. And I 480 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: want to play I was on Fox last night, and 481 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: of course you know me, Sarah, I want to play 482 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: a clip of myself from Fox last night and get 483 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: your response to it, because I think people are missing 484 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: something here, or at least conservatives are missing something here. 485 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: They want to laugh at her and joke about her 486 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: and dismiss her. And we did that in the United 487 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: Kingdom to a man called Jeremy Corbyn a few years ago. Now, 488 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: Jeremy Corbyn is the leader of the Labor Party and 489 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: is in a very very close situation, as people have 490 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: probably seen with regards the whole Brexit scenario to actually 491 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: taking over the reins of government. Let's play clip eight. 492 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: We have had in charge of the Labor Party now 493 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: a hardline socialist Jeremy corbyt and you guys need to 494 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: take Alexander Arcassio Cortez. The Democrats need to take a 495 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: more seriously and treat her as more of a danger 496 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: than Conservatives do, because actually what Jeremy Corbyn has done 497 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party, in the Labor Party, rather, he 498 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: cannot get his party to take power. Even if he 499 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: won an election, he wouldn't hold the confidence of Parliament 500 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: at the moment. And if you allow somebody who's clearly 501 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: read rules or radicals, and who's clearly well versed on 502 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: Mark Lilla's once on future Liberal to take over both 503 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: the cultural and she's very good at the cultural take 504 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: of both the cultural and the policy orientation of the party. 505 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: You won't get those reins back. Now, that was my 506 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: warning to the Democrats, but actually the warning for the 507 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: country I think is, you know on the Black Swan events, Sarah, 508 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: that somebody like that does come to power, it's it's 509 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: it's a pretty dire situation, isn't it. Yeah, absolutely so 510 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to something like AFC, you see that 511 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: she has a perfect grasp of what it means to 512 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: take the lead of the cultural aspect. You see it 513 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: every day with social media, the fact that she's likely 514 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: trending in all times. She will tweet something and all 515 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: of a sudden she's everywhere. I mean, she has a 516 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: better grasp on it than most of the people in Congress. 517 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: So you know, when you have a freshman congress person 518 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: come in and you know they're not really acquainted with 519 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: the policy, but they have a mastery of reaching their 520 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: constituents and new voters gen Z, you know, there's kind 521 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: of sort of a threat to the rest of Congress, 522 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: like how are they going to a doubt it? And 523 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: that's how she rises to power. So what I was 524 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: thinking last night as well, before that panel, you know, 525 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: not particularly in the weeds on policy or process really 526 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: good at populism. It reminds me of someone who took 527 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: over the Republican Party a couple of years ago, and 528 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: you know, we've seen how that's gone. That is, given 529 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump hergemony over the right now, I perhaps I 530 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: believe that's a good thing because I am a Trump 531 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: style nationalist and have been for a great many years. 532 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: But for the Democrats who want to keep their you know, 533 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: control of their party, AOC as we know her now 534 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: poses a massive threat in that sense, doesn't she right? 535 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely so if you look back, even going beyond Trump 536 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: to the Obama campaign, he was probably one of the 537 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: first people to actually adopt social media as a huge 538 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: campaign platform. And you know, with conservative they obviously understand 539 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: what's going on. You know, tweets are, from the pr standpoint, 540 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: extremely valuable. If you misspell one thing, people will write 541 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: thousands of articles about it, like Hamburger exactly, or coves 542 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: or whatever the nicknames of the day. Yeah, yeah, it's 543 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: I think. I think the Democrats are in for a 544 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: really rocky time with with AOC. And actually it makes 545 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: me concerned that the future of the country kind of 546 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: rests on whether or not the Democrats can weed out 547 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: the extreme miss within their own ranks. I don't perhaps 548 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't take great, you know, 549 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: great comfort in that happening, given given where these guys 550 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: are going at the moment. But you know, let's talk 551 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: about that cultural element to this. She's massive on Instagram. 552 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: She says horrendous things like run a train on the 553 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: progressive agenda and by the way, ladies and gentlemen out there, 554 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: if you don't know what that means, do not look 555 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: it up. Okay, just no googling that right now, or 556 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: do it from a private private session in your browser. Um, 557 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: you know she but she gets it. She gets how 558 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: to connect and more than anything, Sarah, she gets how 559 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: to pretend she's Alexandria from the block right exactly. So 560 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: she's just so relatable. Whether you're you know, a Democrat 561 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: or Republican. Everybody admires how she takes a hold of 562 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: social media. You tune in to watch her instant part 563 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: recipe you want to cover the next lipstick that she 564 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: talks about, which when she released it last year, saying 565 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: this is my favorite listig of all time, It's fought 566 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: down within minutes. She's a perfect mix between an Instagram 567 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 1: influencer and a politician, and that's what works so well 568 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,479 Speaker 1: for her, and it worked well, you know, it's worked 569 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 1: well for a lot of people. That reminds me of 570 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: Nigel Farage. Nigel had this tie and this coat in 571 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: the United Kingdom where the tie said I legitimate, non carborundum. 572 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 1: It means don't let the bastards grind you down. And 573 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: when people saw him wearing that tie, that tie hold 574 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: out online across the board. And the same thing with 575 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: his camel head coat, which Sarah, you probably see me 576 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: wearing quite a lot. It comes from the Nigel Farage 577 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: school of fashion and and same that way. You know, 578 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: the these this European style populism is now making real, 579 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: real inroads into the United States, and both the Republican 580 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: and the Democrat establishments have been caught with their pants 581 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: down on these things. Where do you see AOC going 582 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: just in the last minute or so we've got with 583 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: you here over the next couple of months. I think 584 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: most people are a little bit obsessed, and I confess 585 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: to being that way myself, So I really want to 586 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: understand where you think she's going with this. I mean, 587 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: you see the same thing from a fashion perspective from 588 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 1: Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle when they would sell out 589 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 1: items in minutes on Jake Crue, Maximara Barbary, etc. Etc. 590 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: But with ASC it seems that she's on an upward trajectory. 591 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: Consistency has been her thing. She stayed almost exactly the 592 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: same with messaging. She will reach out to the same 593 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: people in the same way, or attack people on Twitter 594 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: in the same way. It just works for her. It 595 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: doesn't work for everyone, and even for the Democrats. But 596 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: she knows what she's doing and she knows how to 597 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: master all of the platforms, so I don't see her 598 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: stopping anytime soon. Sarah, just tell people where they can 599 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:53,240 Speaker 1: find more of your thoughts on all things political and cultural. 600 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 1: You can follow me on Twitter at Sarah sellip esk 601 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: lip of computer.

Big implications there, 624 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: given that you know that is a search engine monopoly 625 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:25,760 Speaker 1: really and they shape the entire the entire Internet people's research. 626 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: What it's going into your news, what you're consuming is news, 627 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera.

Eight four nine hundred U c K. 631 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 1: I want you to tell me if you think I'm wrong, 632 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: if you think I'm right. We opened with this latest 633 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: troll I think from President Trump perpetrated against Nancy Pelosi, 634 00:37:55,719 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: pulling her off the military bus about to go on 635 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: a little trip, a little trippy trip across to Brussels, 636 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: Egypt and Afghanistan, and after she played politics with the 637 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: State of the Union, President Trump said, no, no, Nancy, 638 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: you will not be taking a military plane abroad. He 639 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: will stay right here in Washington, DC and negotiate with me. Well, 640 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: he can't force her to negotiate, but he can ground her. 641 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: That's exactly what he's done. I'm want to bring in 642 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 1: my friend Ned Ryan, he's the CEO of American Majority, 643 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: which you can find out more about American Majority dot com. Ned. 644 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: Good evening, thanks for joining us, Hey, great to be 645 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: word rahem Ned. I think I did a good summary 646 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: there of what's gone down today, But the bigger picture 647 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: is CNN's upset that we're still in shutdown here in DC. 648 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: I've got to tell you I haven't really noticed, right, No, No, 649 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: This has been one of the arguments I've been making 650 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: raheem outside of DC, outside of the Aselic Corridor, most 651 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,399 Speaker 1: of the American people have literally not been impacted one 652 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 1: bit by the fact that eight hundred thousand federal government 653 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: employees have been sent home, are being furloughed. And I 654 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 1: think it begs the question if about forty of the 655 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: federal government employees have been sent home and most Americans 656 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: don't even notice, why aren't we having a conversation about 657 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: the size of our government? Because I would make an argument, 658 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: and I think the longer that the shutdown goes on, 659 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: the stronger the argument becomes. Do we really need as 660 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: much government as we have? Do we need to have 661 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 1: nearly two million federal government employees we're spending one hundred 662 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 1: and thirty six billion a year on Do we really 663 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: need over four hundred and thirty department's agencies and sub agencies? 664 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: And I think this shutdown is making a very compelling 665 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: argument that in fact, we don't in fact, our lives 666 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: are not affected by it, and in fact, our government 667 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: needs some serious reform and we need to start thinking 668 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: about shrinking it. Good point, well made. I want to 669 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: make the case also that you know, there are obviously 670 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: the majority of those eight hundred thousand people affected by 671 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: this government shutdown will be good people, you know, right, 672 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: they are normal, ordinary people, and my heart goes out 673 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: to them that they are going through this. But at 674 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: the same time, you know, government work comes with benefits 675 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: and it comes with pitfalls. You know, it comes with 676 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 1: some level of security in some senses and a level 677 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,280 Speaker 1: of insecurity in others, and it should be no different 678 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 1: from from you know, having the insecurity that you have 679 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: in a job in the private sector or if you're 680 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: a contractor or so on and so forth. There is 681 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,880 Speaker 1: no you know, you are not owed anything by the taxpayer. 682 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: You have opted to do that job. And again my 683 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: heart goes out to you if you're one of those 684 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: government workers who don't know where the next paychecks coming 685 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: from or when it's going to come. But at the 686 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: same time, you knew that, didn't you going into this thing. 687 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: And and ned I also just want to put to 688 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: you this um you know, the science of government argument 689 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 1: is a really good one to be raising right now. 690 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: And as we approached the thirty day mark of this 691 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 1: of this shutdown, are the Democrats shooting themselves in foot 692 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: because of course they love big government. You know, put 693 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: what Bill Bill Clinton, bill government, Bill Clinton said about 694 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: the era of big government being over aside for a second, 695 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: because that didn't happen. The Democrats are sort of leading 696 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: Americans down that path to going old. I mean, we 697 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: don't need all these people, no, I think so absolutely. 698 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: I think that the longest thing goes on, they're actually 699 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: making arguments to show again we don't need as much 700 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,839 Speaker 1: government as we have. And the thing I'd pushed back 701 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: a little bit on with you Raheem as the fact, 702 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, I understand you know that people are not 703 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: getting paychecks. Let's also remember that many times when these 704 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: shutdowns end, federal government employees are made whole. At the 705 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: same time, the ones that really suffer are the government contractors. 706 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: They're not made whole. You know why, because they're private 707 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: sector companies. They're not going to be bailed out and 708 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: made whole by taxpayer dollars. And the other point I 709 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: would make on this is we now have the most 710 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: job openings that that we've maybe even had in our 711 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,320 Speaker 1: entire history. But it's five six million job openings. I 712 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: would make the argument again, let's have the conversation about 713 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: the size and role of government at the same time. 714 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: These eight hundred thousand people market forces. If we truly 715 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: believe that there are market forces and we're now seeing that, 716 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: maybe perhaps there's a potential to have a market force 717 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: say hey, we don't need as much government. There are 718 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: five to six million job opportunities for those eight hundred 719 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: thousand people where they could actually go into the private 720 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: sector and actually really experience what it means to be 721 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: in the private sector. Because I'm telling you, Raheem, I 722 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: have been in DC about twenty years. I can guarantee 723 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: you that there are many federal government employees. First of all, 724 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,360 Speaker 1: it's redundant. There's a lot of overlap. I don't know 725 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: if you saw the Daily callerpiece just a few days 726 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: ago in which somebody was making the argument and really 727 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 1: explaining what a lot of these federal government employees are 728 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: doing day to day. It's about process, it's about new 729 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: task force, it's about creating new agencies. All they're seeking 730 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: to do is put in time, get their pay, and 731 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 1: expand the role of government. I think we need to 732 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: have a serious conversation. And I'm sorry that they're a 733 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 1: part that they might get caught in this, but the 734 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,839 Speaker 1: future of our country. We're twenty two trillion dollars in debt. 735 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: We are now looking at annual deficits of a trillion 736 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 1: in twenty years, raheem. If we do not stop this, 737 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,919 Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about forty trillion in national debt. 738 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: Debt is unsustainable. No country, not even the United States, 739 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: can sustain that. That's true. No countries ever sustain that 740 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: level of debt. Okay. So with all that in mind, ned, 741 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: what should this president be doing in your estimation? And 742 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: how long does this go on for? I think it 743 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: goes as long as it needs to. I mean, what 744 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: we're really this is the amazing part to me, Raheem. 745 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: We're talking about one eighth of one percent that he 746 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 1: is asking for in regards to funding this five point 747 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 1: seven billion for the wall. Democrats in the past five 748 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: years ago voted for forty six billion, eight billion specific 749 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: for a wall. They're obviously deeply hypocritical. I think Trump 750 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 1: holds out as long as he needs to until they 751 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: come to the table and they negotiate. In fact, I 752 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: think that he should even go to the point of saying, 753 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: under the Immigration and Nationality Act, if you guys will 754 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,399 Speaker 1: not negotiate with me, I will shut down the entire 755 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: southern border until you've come to the negotiating table. I 756 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: think this is his chance to go and just say 757 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: we're going to have this conversation not only about the wall, 758 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: but we're going to actually reform and fix our immigration system, 759 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,240 Speaker 1: which I would actually argue with him is so broken 760 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: as to not even really be a system. And the 761 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: other thing I'll say about this, in regards to the 762 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 1: State of the Union, Trump should go down to the 763 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 1: border and he should find the biggest venue he could find, 764 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: fifty thousand people, and he should get his State of 765 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,880 Speaker 1: the Union address live on television in front of fifty 766 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 1: thousand people and blow the socks off Nancy Pelosi. That 767 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: would be awesome. That would indeed be awesome, But it 768 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: also is a little predictable. And this president, I mean 769 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 1: in the sense that we're all predicting it right that 770 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: he should do it. This president tends to pull things 771 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: even further out of left field than that any any 772 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: I mean, see, I was going with the whole from 773 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: Air Force one. I don't care well I was. I 774 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: was thinking, you know, to do a Twitter State of 775 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: the Union, you know, whatever it takes. And I think 776 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: the reason when you're winning, when you are winning a debate, 777 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,760 Speaker 1: you put your opponent out there to basically hang themselves, 778 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: to basically undo themselves. The fact that Nancy Pelosi is 779 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 1: I think deeply concerned about giving Trump that platform for 780 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: the State of the Union to actually go directly to 781 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: the American people and again make that argument why we 782 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: need to have the wall, why we need to have 783 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,839 Speaker 1: immigration reform. She's not winning this debate, but I think 784 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: what she's done is actually going to put Trump on steroids. 785 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 1: I think whatever he's going to do, it will magnify 786 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 1: his audience tenfold. And so I think what she's actually 787 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: done is not only shown that she's not winning the debate, 788 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: She's going to make Trump's speak wherever he gives it, 789 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 1: that much more powerful. And I think with a really 790 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 1: much begger audience, ned Ryan, tell tell our audience where 791 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: they can find more of your work, tweets and and 792 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 1: anything else you want them to see and things you 793 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: don't want them to see. Well, you know that they 794 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: can see whatever they want to see, Ned, Ryan any 795 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 1: d r Yu on r yu and on Twitter. American majority. 796 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 1: Dot org actually is where they can find out more 797 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 1: about our sorty trainings. Um but yeah, no, Christ said 798 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: dot com. Yeah, but you know what, American majority, they 799 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 1: can google it, they can find it. Don't google it. 800 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 1: We don't use Google anymore. We use duct go. I 801 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,800 Speaker 1: use duct dot go yea, yeah, I use ductorgo. I 802 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,959 Speaker 1: don't Google. And I wish I could have talked about 803 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: Google some more. But they need to be broken up. 804 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 1: Alphabet Inc. Needs to be broken up for the good 805 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,839 Speaker 1: of the American people. Well, I'll tell you what next time, 806 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,839 Speaker 1: next time I'm in this hot seat in the Freedom Heart, 807 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: You're going to come on and talk about the dominance 808 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,840 Speaker 1: of these nefarious tech companies.

I'm joined 827 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: now by my good friend at Jen Kerns, Republican strategist Jen. 828 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:53,480 Speaker 1: Good evening. Hello, Raheem, how were you, Jen? I'm fine. 829 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,839 Speaker 1: I'm so excited to be talking to my brother from 830 00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: another mother. Jen. We had another one of our brethren 831 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 1: on the line a moment ago, Ned Ryan was joining 832 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:05,799 Speaker 1: us to talk about all of this and where it's 833 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 1: going to. Let me get your thoughts right now. Ned's 834 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 1: position is that it's good the shutdown is good in 835 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things, because it is showing a 836 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: lot of Americans how little government they actually need in 837 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 1: their lives, how a little these federal workers, and no 838 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,280 Speaker 1: offense to them on a personal level. We're talking about 839 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,839 Speaker 1: the institutions that they represent being bloated. They are unfortunately 840 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 1: caught up in all of this mess. But how little 841 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,840 Speaker 1: that is actually needed. And where is this going to stop? 842 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,399 Speaker 1: Ned says It'll go on as long as it needs to. Yeah, 843 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,800 Speaker 1: I would agree with that. And I think President Trump 844 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 1: here is showing his reaganesque side, you know, as Ronald Reagan, 845 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,800 Speaker 1: who he had a total of I think seven or 846 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 1: eight shutdowns. I think it was eight during his eight years, 847 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: and you know, he didn't care what people thought, he 848 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: didn't care what the press set And I think that 849 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,879 Speaker 1: is very much a page that that Trump is taking 850 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 1: yet again out of the Reagan books. And look, if 851 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: you look at the core issue of this, you know, 852 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 1: the mainstream media today is trying to make everybody think 853 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: that the American people don't care about border security and 854 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: that Trump's numbers are actually coming down. And I looked 855 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: at the various polls that were out today, the Washington 856 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:24,960 Speaker 1: Post poll, the Marist poll, the NBC News Washington Well 857 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: three journal polls give you. Those were all the same 858 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 1: polls that had Hillary Clinton up eighteen points on October sixteenth, 859 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. They all said she was going to win 860 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 1: in the landslide. And how that changed in a period 861 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,839 Speaker 1: of two weeks. I look at the other poles. Does 862 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 1: that really matter here? If you look at the Rasmusan pole, 863 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 1: they were one of only three posters that got the 864 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen elections, right, I think they're the most accurate. 865 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 1: They showed that an overwhelming number of Americans are concerned 866 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 1: about border security, and in fact, one out of four Americans, 867 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 1: even during the shutdown, would contribute their own money to 868 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: build the border wall. You have other poles. Out AP 869 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 1: poll which has slightly center left, taken just before the shutdown, 870 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 1: shows border security has now moved into among the top 871 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 1: five concerns for the American people. You look at the 872 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: Gallup poll, which is a gold standard and polling reported 873 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: that border security had actually moved into the top two 874 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,879 Speaker 1: concerns for Americans just after the twenty eighteen mid terms. 875 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 1: After Nancy Pelosi won back that gabble and finally an economist. 876 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,800 Speaker 1: Yugov poll shows that a whopping sixty two percent of 877 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 1: Americans actually view illegal immigration not border security. The actual 878 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,720 Speaker 1: word used was illegal immigration as either a very serious 879 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: problem or a somewhat serious problem, and only seven percent 880 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:49,160 Speaker 1: of Americans seven percent believed that illegal immigration was quote 881 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,960 Speaker 1: not a problem. So that shows me President Trump has 882 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 1: the win in his sales here. He can let this 883 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,800 Speaker 1: go on for a protracted battle if he wants. What 884 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,920 Speaker 1: if the cases I'm just playing devil's advocate here. What 885 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 1: if the case is actually I don't know if I'm 886 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 1: playing devil's advocate, maybe I do believe this. What if 887 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,960 Speaker 1: the case is that the public season right on the 888 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 1: issue but wrong on the tactics. Well, look where we've 889 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 1: seen the American sentiment really has not changed that significantly 890 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,799 Speaker 1: on President Trump. And look at he has been right 891 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,240 Speaker 1: on virtually every issue since he was sworn in as president. 892 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 1: You look at the economy, You look at the stock 893 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 1: market has gone to record levels. They said the stock 894 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,320 Speaker 1: market was going to tank within seventy two hours of 895 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,439 Speaker 1: his inauguration, didn't happen. You look at jobs. He's brought 896 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 1: jobs back to America in every sector, Women's unemployment down 897 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 1: seventeen year low, Overall unemployment down seventeen year low, African 898 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 1: American unemployment down a fifty year low since they began 899 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 1: recording the rate. So you can look at this and say, 900 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 1: you know, the American people, you know, it has shown 901 00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 1: up in polls that they don't like how he says something. 902 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 1: They certainly like what he's actually doing, and I think 903 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 1: that sentiment will start to come through in the polls here. 904 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,400 Speaker 1: They may not like this tit for tat sending letters 905 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,359 Speaker 1: back and forth between he and Nancy Pelosi, but at 906 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,920 Speaker 1: the core, they do like that border security, as I 907 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,439 Speaker 1: just said, and they do like that he's standing tough 908 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: and standing up to the position. And look, anyone that's 909 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 1: surprised that the government is shut down right now has 910 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 1: not been paying attention. He ran on the concept of 911 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: draining the swamp, and that is precisely what he's doing. 912 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 1: I think it's a secondary battle here. I think he 913 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 1: did shut the government down over the border wall. But secondarily, 914 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,760 Speaker 1: this does fit, you know, the list of a hundred 915 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: things that he wanted to check off his campaign promises list. 916 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 1: This does fit one of those items in there that 917 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,480 Speaker 1: he's going to check off and say, look, I kept 918 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 1: my promise to the American people. I went to Washington, DC, 919 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,840 Speaker 1: and I helped drain the small Just funnily, Jen, I 920 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 1: want to ask a hypothetical question here because I think 921 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 1: in late December let down first loomed and the bars 922 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 1: in on Capitol Hill started serving shutdown cocktails. I had 923 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,160 Speaker 1: one of them. That was before my dry January. By 924 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,320 Speaker 1: the way, I'll talk to you guys about that a 925 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 1: little later in the program. But when that happened, I 926 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:21,439 Speaker 1: guess we thought, hey, you know, this will last a week, 927 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,800 Speaker 1: two weeks, maybe a little longer. We're going on some 928 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:31,719 Speaker 1: time now, an unprecedented amount of time. Now in your estimation, 929 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you've seen this stuff, you study very closely. 930 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:40,759 Speaker 1: How much longer can this realistically? I don't mean you know, theoretically, 931 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,400 Speaker 1: in a in a you know, if he needs to 932 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,719 Speaker 1: do it since, but how much longer do you think 933 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,799 Speaker 1: the White House allows this to go on before having 934 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 1: to change tax somewhere. I truly believe Raheem dieted go 935 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,400 Speaker 1: on for sixty five or seventy days without President Trump 936 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 1: losing much in the polls. I think five to seven 937 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 1: points max. And look I've studied this for fifteen years. Yeah, 938 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 1: and look, you didn't see the Democrats crying in their 939 00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: beers at the Capitol Hill bars when Barack Obama closed 940 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 1: down the government in October twenty thirteen. You know, it's 941 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: so funny. Democrats are so up in arms over this 942 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,800 Speaker 1: and they hate it because Trump has done it. But 943 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 1: look at the history. Barack Obama shut down the government 944 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,440 Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. His shutdown was actually worse than President 945 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,800 Speaker 1: trump shutdown. His was a complete shutdown, whereas Trump's is 946 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,200 Speaker 1: only a partial shutdown. By the numbers, Obama furloughed far 947 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,280 Speaker 1: more employees, more than eight hundred thousand workers under barackton 948 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 1: you've got to jump here. It's a hard break. So 949 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 1: that's all music. And yet more than a million asked 950 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,759 Speaker 1: to work without pay. So thank you, Jen Kearns. This 951 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show, Live from the Freedom Hind, Washington, 952 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,840 Speaker 1: d C. We'll be right back. Welcome back. It's the 953 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show broadcasting life from Washington, d C. The 954 00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 1: phone lines are open eight four four nine hundred eight 955 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,280 Speaker 1: four four nine hundred to eight two five and speaking 956 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:05,040 Speaker 1: of which, want to go to line one. Anthony in Pennsylvania. Anthony, 957 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,360 Speaker 1: are you with us? Yes, I am, sir. How you 958 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 1: doing that doing well? Sir? Take us away? Yeah, all right, 959 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:18,280 Speaker 1: you've got the mic, Anthony, go ahead. I think Donald 960 00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,319 Speaker 1: Trump is at a maker break point now. He must 961 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,920 Speaker 1: stay the course because if the Democratic Party, having just 962 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,799 Speaker 1: taken the House, realizes that they can roll him over 963 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 1: on this, then the wall will never get built. This 964 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:39,879 Speaker 1: would be a harbinger of persistent defeat, this of course 965 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,799 Speaker 1: being you know, the wall and the border security being 966 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,080 Speaker 1: probably the primary thing now this administration is concerned with. 967 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,439 Speaker 1: If it rolls over on this, Anthony was saying, don't 968 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 1: roll over and everything else, then all President Trump has 969 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 1: to do is say I took an oath to preserve, protect, 970 00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:02,000 Speaker 1: and defend the Constitution of the United States. And even 971 00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:06,320 Speaker 1: places that don't teach the Constitution anymore, they teach children 972 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 1: to memorize the preamble and feel that they've studied the Constitution. 973 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:15,000 Speaker 1: The preamble of the Constitution states that we the people 974 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: to provide for the common defense. And that's exactly what 975 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 1: he's doing right here. He's providing for the defense of 976 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:28,479 Speaker 1: the nation. He's providing for enforcement of the borders. That's 977 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:34,440 Speaker 1: a federal function that's enumerated in the Constitution. That's not discretionary, 978 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 1: that's mandated. So what he's doing by insisting on this 979 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: border defense is merely upholding the oath that he took 980 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:47,120 Speaker 1: as president. You know, I think about this quite a lot. Antony. 981 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 1: I think it'd be a very good point, because on 982 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,880 Speaker 1: the run up to the twenty and sixteen election, we 983 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,440 Speaker 1: would hold over and over again that Donald Trump doesn't 984 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,920 Speaker 1: know anything about the Constitution. Donald Trump doesn't know anything 985 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,720 Speaker 1: about America. He's just he's just a loudmouth New Yorker 986 00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,040 Speaker 1: who got a big donation from his dad. And it 987 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:11,359 Speaker 1: turns out that whether it's intentional or just as as 988 00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,800 Speaker 1: as a consequence of nature, he seems to be the 989 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:20,120 Speaker 1: only one, even sometimes within his own party, who is 990 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 1: actually sticking to what is required of him per his oath. 991 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 1: When I was very young and I was in school, 992 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,960 Speaker 1: I remember there was a poem that I read and 993 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:37,000 Speaker 1: it was called mean And I see, the most stupid 994 00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,440 Speaker 1: thing that's ever said about conservatives, right after using the 995 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:45,320 Speaker 1: word hateful as an adjective, is mean spirited. And I 996 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,200 Speaker 1: remember this one passage from a poem. I can't remember 997 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 1: the author the poem's name was mean, and I will 998 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 1: never forget. Mean is the coward's favorite game in which 999 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,920 Speaker 1: the winner shifts the blame. And that's what the Democrat 1000 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 1: they're doing. We see, you know, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck 1001 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 1: Schumer ed al say never a dime, not a dime, 1002 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,120 Speaker 1: We won't give one penny for the wall. Then the 1003 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 1: CBS Evening News comes on. You know, Donald Trump refuses 1004 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:20,120 Speaker 1: to compromise on the border security, and mean is the 1005 00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 1: coward's favorite game in which the winner shifts the blame. 1006 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: And it appears the willing accomplices in the mainstream press 1007 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 1: are allowing the Democrats to shift the blame. Oh I 1008 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,280 Speaker 1: love that. Thank you for the call. Anthony there in Pennsylvania. 1009 00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 1: Let's go to line too. Jim is in Boston. Jim, 1010 00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:44,479 Speaker 1: good evening, Good evening, raheem, thank you for taking the call. 1011 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 1: Absolutely just a frame of reference. I actually used to 1012 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:55,680 Speaker 1: work for Speaker of Ause O'Neil years ago under him 1013 00:58:55,920 --> 00:59:00,240 Speaker 1: and Reagan, and what was interesting was they could read 1014 00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,760 Speaker 1: to disagree on certain things, but it was all about 1015 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:09,360 Speaker 1: getting business done. And unfortunately today they're so polarized. So 1016 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:14,600 Speaker 1: my thought is, or my suggestion to President Trump would 1017 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:19,240 Speaker 1: be to hold out until March, when the debt ceiling 1018 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:24,480 Speaker 1: has to be raised, and use that as a leverage 1019 00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 1: point again to actually force them to start negotiating in 1020 00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,800 Speaker 1: good faith instead of turning around and saying we're not 1021 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 1: going to do anything. Now. For those of us Jim 1022 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 1: like me, I will confess who don't understand the process 1023 00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 1: that that would that would entail. Just walk us through 1024 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 1: what happens in March and how the president could could 1025 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:53,040 Speaker 1: leverage that. As you say, so, he's got They're going 1026 00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,960 Speaker 1: to need to pass a bill to increase the debt ceiling. 1027 00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,160 Speaker 1: The government a run out of money, and very much 1028 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:08,120 Speaker 1: like letting Nancy Pelosi not fly on government planes, He's 1029 01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:13,560 Speaker 1: going to turn around, with the Senate's help to say, hey, listen, 1030 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 1: if you want to do this, you need to get 1031 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,960 Speaker 1: my buying. You need to also get the buying of 1032 01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 1: the Senate. And now we really need to solve this 1033 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 1: problem if you want to keep the government actually going 1034 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:32,280 Speaker 1: and raise the debt ceiling so that the government has money. 1035 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 1: And if they're going to play this game of chicken 1036 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:43,120 Speaker 1: with him, whoever swerves first is going to lose. And 1037 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 1: I think Democrats are so ingrained in keeping their base 1038 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 1: with the power of the purse, they're going to have 1039 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,280 Speaker 1: to turn around and say, listen, we need to make 1040 01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,640 Speaker 1: a deal here and for five billion dollars, which is 1041 01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 1: a pitting they're going to have to come through, especially 1042 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 1: when you consider that all of these knuckleheads have have 1043 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 1: gone ahead and voted for massive um you know, border 1044 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 1: funding in the past, and now just because the name 1045 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 1: in the White House is Trump, they're going to stand 1046 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,720 Speaker 1: against him. I think the only way for him to 1047 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,360 Speaker 1: do it or get them to take notice is when 1048 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:34,880 Speaker 1: it comes down to they need him. With regard to 1049 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,320 Speaker 1: the debt sailing, Jim would I would love to connect 1050 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:39,960 Speaker 1: with you if you hang on the lining and try 1051 01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:41,800 Speaker 1: and get one of our producers to get get your 1052 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,800 Speaker 1: details so I can I can connect with you off 1053 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,280 Speaker 1: off air as well. It's Jim in Boston with an 1054 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:50,480 Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic call pointing out some extraordinary things there about 1055 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 1: the debt ceiling. Extraordinary in the sense that when I 1056 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,440 Speaker 1: asked the question earlier about how long the president can 1057 01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,920 Speaker 1: keep this shutdown going, Jen Kerns told me effectively up 1058 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,920 Speaker 1: until much she said, another another thirty days or so, 1059 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 1: without really seeing much of a problem in sure enough. 1060 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 1: That takes us into Jim's theory there that we can 1061 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 1: take this right up until the dead ceiling has to 1062 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 1: be raised again. Maybe that's the plan. Maybe that's been 1063 01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 1: the plan all along by this administration. More leverage their 1064 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:27,479 Speaker 1: way comes. Who knows. Eight eight four four nine hundred bark, 1065 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:32,480 Speaker 1: that's eight four four nine hundred two eight two five 1066 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 1: is the number here. And I tell you, the quality 1067 01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:40,000 Speaker 1: of the calls today, just like every day that I'm 1068 01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,560 Speaker 1: the guest host of this show, is supremely high. I hope, 1069 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 1: I hope you guys all know how much I appreciate 1070 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 1: it and how much I learned from you guys out 1071 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 1: there as well. So if you're, you know, a first 1072 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 1: time caller, never called in before, now now's the chance. 1073 01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,439 Speaker 1: The bar. The bar is set high, and I think 1074 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,160 Speaker 1: I think that should be something we all reach for. 1075 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,960 Speaker 1: And I agree with Jim as well when he said that, 1076 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,680 Speaker 1: now we used to actually talk to one another, and 1077 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 1: that's what I aim to do with these shows. That's 1078 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:15,000 Speaker 1: why I aimed to do yesterday with my Democrat opponent 1079 01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:20,480 Speaker 1: on the Laura Ingram Show last night on Fox. Mostly 1080 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,080 Speaker 1: because I believe the arguments and the right is on 1081 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 1: my side, and so I go into it with that 1082 01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 1: level of confidence. But also because what what does it 1083 01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 1: help us to be at each other's throats all the time, 1084 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:39,760 Speaker 1: to reject the idea of understanding one another and where 1085 01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,640 Speaker 1: we're all coming from. You see, when I talk privately 1086 01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,240 Speaker 1: to people about these things, we seem to be able 1087 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,520 Speaker 1: to do it like grown adults. It just so happens 1088 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,840 Speaker 1: that when the cameras are on or the radio Mike's 1089 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 1: heart people want to grandstand and pull back into their 1090 01:03:55,880 --> 01:04:00,520 Speaker 1: own little corners. Well more people have been doing today 1091 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:04,360 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. Alexandro Accassio Cortez once again. And she 1092 01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 1: does know how to get coverage, and she does know 1093 01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,080 Speaker 1: how to get coverage out of me. She said, she 1094 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,800 Speaker 1: goes a hunting in the Senate for Mitch McConnell. Can't 1095 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 1: find him, can't find him in the cloakroom, can't find 1096 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 1: him on the floor, can't find him in the office. 1097 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,080 Speaker 1: Nowhere to be seen. She went to the wrong place. 1098 01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:24,880 Speaker 1: She was supposed to go to the Senate Majority leaders office. 1099 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,800 Speaker 1: She ended up just going to the general Senate offices. 1100 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:32,480 Speaker 1: But I suspect that she knew that, and that she 1101 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 1: was doing that to get the coverage of her walking 1102 01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 1: around the Senate going where's Mitch, Where's Mitch, Where's Mitch? 1103 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,520 Speaker 1: And sure enough, here I am playing right into her 1104 01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 1: hands giving her the coverage. This is the Buck Sexton Show. 1105 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm Rheim because some were broadcasting live from Washington, DC 1106 01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:49,120 Speaker 1: in the Freedom Heart. We're going to take a quick 1107 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,240 Speaker 1: break now. When we come back, Terry Shilling from the 1108 01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:56,120 Speaker 1: American Principles Project and more of your calls, we'll be 1109 01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 1: right back. Welcome back the Buck Sexton Show. I'm Raheem Kassam, 1110 01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,520 Speaker 1: broadcasting live from the Freedom Hunt in downtown Washington, d C. 1111 01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 1: I realized earlier I didn't tell you where you can 1112 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:12,800 Speaker 1: read it more from Jen Kerns. Let's at Jen Kerns 1113 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 1: k e r n S on Twitter and Jen Kerns 1114 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 1: dot com. She was the Republican strategist we had on 1115 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:20,800 Speaker 1: earlier in this hour talking about the government shutdown. I 1116 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:24,120 Speaker 1: want to pivot now to Terry Shilling. He's the ahead 1117 01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:29,320 Speaker 1: of the American Principles Project and a dear friend of mine. Terry. 1118 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 1: Good evening, Hey, Raheem, thanks for having me and I'm 1119 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,920 Speaker 1: excited of the year. Well, thank you for being on. 1120 01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,400 Speaker 1: I realize you're in mid transit at the moment, so 1121 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm grateful that you can join us. It's a short 1122 01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 1: segment we've got at the bottom of this hour, so 1123 01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:46,400 Speaker 1: let's jump right into it. The March for Life is tomorrow, Terry, 1124 01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 1: what's the March for Life? It's the biggest pro life 1125 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,720 Speaker 1: of then the country. Every year, around the anniversary of 1126 01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 1: the Rogue Way decision, hundreds of thousands of pro home 1127 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:05,760 Speaker 1: so active go to washingt NBC to show Congress and 1128 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,280 Speaker 1: the President that the right to life is a fundamental 1129 01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,360 Speaker 1: issue here and that we need to protect everyone from 1130 01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:18,480 Speaker 1: conception until natural death. So I have seen this now 1131 01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,840 Speaker 1: for a couple of years. We don't really have anything 1132 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 1: like it from back where I'm from, and I suppose 1133 01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:29,680 Speaker 1: there's the similar things in France, A couple of other 1134 01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 1: countries do it. But I mean, this is a vast, 1135 01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 1: vast thing, massive, massive numbers, huge array of events around it. 1136 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:41,760 Speaker 1: But even still back in twenty seventeen, I believe the 1137 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:47,919 Speaker 1: Women's March, the leftist pink hatted March, got around two 1138 01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:52,440 Speaker 1: hundred times the level of coverage than the massive, massive 1139 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,920 Speaker 1: March for Life did. Terry Waite is that it's just 1140 01:06:56,120 --> 01:07:00,400 Speaker 1: because we obviously have a slanted media across of century, 1141 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:04,160 Speaker 1: and you know they don't like to cover the March 1142 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:05,760 Speaker 1: for Life and how many people show up. But the 1143 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,920 Speaker 1: other reason, I think, though, if I'm being honest about it, 1144 01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,880 Speaker 1: that the March for Life happens every year and hundreds 1145 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,120 Speaker 1: of thousands of people come, and I think that the 1146 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 1: media has probably just gotten used to it. It's it's 1147 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,040 Speaker 1: not abnormal for hundreds of thousands of people to come 1148 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:25,320 Speaker 1: in January to March for Life. It was something more newsworthy, 1149 01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,800 Speaker 1: I think as a restaurant. Oh, I'm not saying the 1150 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:30,560 Speaker 1: Women's March wasn't newsworthy, don't get me wrong, but two 1151 01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:35,240 Speaker 1: hundred times more newsworthy. No, I think that's a fair criticism. 1152 01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:39,520 Speaker 1: It is Terry. We we shot in time, and I 1153 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 1: want to get to your toxic masculinity. If you don't mind, 1154 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,600 Speaker 1: let me just get the producers to play this clip 1155 01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: from this Gillette advert that came out this week against masculinity? 1156 01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:55,680 Speaker 1: Is this the best a man can get? As well? 1157 01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,600 Speaker 1: Problem we can't hide for harassment is taking off. It's 1158 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:03,120 Speaker 1: been going on far too long. What I actually thinks 1159 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 1: she's trying to say, making the same old excuses, but 1160 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:14,919 Speaker 1: something finally changed allegations regarding sexual assault and sexual harassments once, 1161 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 1: but she says, and there will be no going back, 1162 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,479 Speaker 1: because we we believe in the best in men. Men 1163 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:31,599 Speaker 1: need to hold other men accountable. Well that's a Gilette advert. 1164 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,920 Speaker 1: If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I 1165 01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:40,839 Speaker 1: immediately threw my Gillette razor out terry. Is your masculinity toxic? 1166 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:45,360 Speaker 1: And can you be better? Oh? Man? You know, I 1167 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,360 Speaker 1: think the big problem with that ad is that it 1168 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:52,320 Speaker 1: wasn't written by men. It was written by radical feminists, 1169 01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,600 Speaker 1: who you know, have always looked down on masculinities. And 1170 01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:58,720 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, obviously the stuff that they 1171 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,560 Speaker 1: label or lay out in the ad does need to 1172 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:03,880 Speaker 1: be addressed. And but I don't think that that's a 1173 01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,759 Speaker 1: product of masculine I think that that's a rejection of masculine. 1174 01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,160 Speaker 1: You know, a masculine man does not objectify women, A 1175 01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 1: masculine man doesn't bully people. A masculine man actually stands 1176 01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:18,000 Speaker 1: up for women, and a real man stands up to bullies. 1177 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:22,639 Speaker 1: And so I think the heart of it is it's interesting, 1178 01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,080 Speaker 1: but it was just written by the wrong people. I 1179 01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,639 Speaker 1: could write a much better ad that'd be more effective, 1180 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 1: it would get the point across. So maybe that's a 1181 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,560 Speaker 1: project you and I should work on our heam or 1182 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 1: we could not and say we did. This is a 1183 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,400 Speaker 1: great radio terry. It's it's one of those things. I mean, 1184 01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,160 Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of people now tossing out the 1185 01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,559 Speaker 1: Gillette raises, some people even saying they won't consume any 1186 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 1: Procter and Gamble Goods products anymore, which is a very 1187 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,760 Speaker 1: difficult thing to achieve, actually, when you consider just how 1188 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:59,000 Speaker 1: much that company owns. Is that the right response to this? 1189 01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 1: How do you? How do you feel? And do you 1190 01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:04,840 Speaker 1: own any gilette products terry? You do you now or 1191 01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,640 Speaker 1: have you ever owned any gilette products terry? Have you? 1192 01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,080 Speaker 1: No shames? Sir? I look, I've been I've been using 1193 01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,720 Speaker 1: the Dollar Shape club for the past ten years. Is 1194 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 1: not an advertisementility? No, no, no, I'm not average. I'm 1195 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,880 Speaker 1: sorry they should give you money though, um, but no, listen, 1196 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,519 Speaker 1: I haven't used gialette and I think already guys have 1197 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,360 Speaker 1: swift from gilette products to the Dollar Shape clubs. So 1198 01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,840 Speaker 1: they knew they had to do something really controversial to 1199 01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,200 Speaker 1: get the whole country talking about them. Yeah, most of 1200 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,599 Speaker 1: my friends are just choosing the next beer now over 1201 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:39,240 Speaker 1: Gilette raisers. So well, we'll see how that works out 1202 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:41,880 Speaker 1: for them and their wives. You have some very very 1203 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,920 Speaker 1: curious friends, my friends, and I suppose they're friends. Yeah, 1204 01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,160 Speaker 1: I suppose they're friends by proxy for me, which should 1205 01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,800 Speaker 1: should be worried about. Terry, tell Alreudience a little bit 1206 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:53,840 Speaker 1: about the American Principles Project and where they can follow 1207 01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,880 Speaker 1: your work. Look, we're a very simple group. We work 1208 01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,280 Speaker 1: on federalism and families, so we get the federal coming 1209 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,040 Speaker 1: out of the way that the family can throw up 1210 01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,240 Speaker 1: and prosper and allow for maximum amount of liberty and freedom. 1211 01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 1: And we can find us at on the web at 1212 01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:12,160 Speaker 1: APPFDC dot org and we'll be coming out with some 1213 01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,880 Speaker 1: really interesting reports here pretty soon making the political argument 1214 01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:20,559 Speaker 1: for creating strong families. Strong families tend to vote more 1215 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,000 Speaker 1: with liberty and mind and a conservative and you know, 1216 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:28,519 Speaker 1: weak families tend to vote as liberals, and so I 1217 01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,600 Speaker 1: think their way to turn the centure around is to 1218 01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,880 Speaker 1: encourage and strengthen more strong families. You hear that, ladies 1219 01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:38,800 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, Terry Shilling just called your families week.

There's a 1274 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,760 Speaker 1: stadium in Washington, d C. Let's do the State of 1275 01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:54,760 Speaker 1: Union in the stadium. Whoa, oh, hold on water, open 1276 01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:57,519 Speaker 1: access to the public. As a matter of fact, that's 1277 01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 1: the way it should be. It's the state of the Union. 1278 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,720 Speaker 1: It's it's our union. Now let me ask you this, 1279 01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:09,799 Speaker 1: Charles M filling a stadium in Trump Country might be easy? 1280 01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,920 Speaker 1: Is that so easy in Washington, d C?

It's um, it's I 1284 01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:27,880 Speaker 1: think it's an idea at least from what I hear 1285 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:30,560 Speaker 1: that is in the mix at the moment. Either a 1286 01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:33,400 Speaker 1: rally type or, as you say, a stadium type event 1287 01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,680 Speaker 1: where the president takes the state of the Union to 1288 01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 1: the people. It would send quite a message, wouldn't it, Charles? 1289 01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:43,680 Speaker 1: You take it to the enemy. Absolutely, Charles, thank you, 1290 01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:48,360 Speaker 1: Go ahead, go ahead. Our president is a lion.

We've built this country based on that. 1308 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,600 Speaker 1: I know I'm opening a kind of worms here, but 1309 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,080 Speaker 1: if you look at the wall that we've got that 1310 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:03,640 Speaker 1: we're proposing that Trump wants to build for us, we 1311 01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:07,920 Speaker 1: are allies of the single most important nation on the 1312 01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:12,559 Speaker 1: face of this earth. That city has a wall around 1313 01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:16,519 Speaker 1: it for a reason is to protect us. President Trump said, 1314 01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:19,960 Speaker 1: the ones you love, but also your enemies, to keep 1315 01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:25,160 Speaker 1: them out. This extension of our border, in my heart, 1316 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:30,200 Speaker 1: I believe is an extension of that wall in that city. 1317 01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:34,240 Speaker 1: And I know you know where I'm talking about. Um, Well, 1318 01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,080 Speaker 1: I've been I love my country. I love my country. 1319 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:38,639 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you if I reach in my pocket 1320 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,639 Speaker 1: right now, I gotta pay in my pocket, and I'll 1321 01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,360 Speaker 1: give it to President Trump. If it's my last one 1322 01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:49,000 Speaker 1: to build this um, well, you know, don't I often joke. 1323 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,479 Speaker 1: I often joke because I'm I'm a British and I'm 1324 01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:55,640 Speaker 1: a British citizen, and I am a conservative, and in 1325 01:17:55,880 --> 01:18:01,920 Speaker 1: in Britain, being a conservative means you would technically or 1326 01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,080 Speaker 1: should be a monarchist as well. So I often joke 1327 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,920 Speaker 1: with my American friends, who are typically Republicans in this 1328 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 1: in the stricter sense, not in the party political sense, 1329 01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,320 Speaker 1: but in the sense that you are a republic I 1330 01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:18,000 Speaker 1: often joke because most of them are are God fearing 1331 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:21,320 Speaker 1: Christians as well. I say, it's not the Republic of Heaven, 1332 01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:25,600 Speaker 1: it's the Kingdom of Heaven, and therefore that's why I Brobodochus. 1333 01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:27,559 Speaker 1: But it also applies to what I mean. I'm kidding, 1334 01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:29,479 Speaker 1: But it also applies to what you're saying, right, I mean, 1335 01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 1: when you think of the pearly gates, and you did 1336 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:33,760 Speaker 1: open account of worms with God, so I'm going to 1337 01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,280 Speaker 1: run with it. When you think of the pearly gates, 1338 01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,200 Speaker 1: the pearly gates have to be you know, attached to something. 1339 01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,000 Speaker 1: They're not just It's not just gates that means heaven 1340 01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 1: is walled off, right, I mean heaven is walled off 1341 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:51,680 Speaker 1: from sin and sinners. Correct, Yes, sir, absolutely. And if 1342 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,799 Speaker 1: you you mentioned Google earlier, and I know I'm stepping 1343 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,800 Speaker 1: out lamb right here, I may regret it, maybe not. 1344 01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:04,040 Speaker 1: But if you google law on the present, google now 1345 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:08,280 Speaker 1: that the things that comes up is about a building. 1346 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,559 Speaker 1: You know, your home. You got a door in your home. 1347 01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:13,880 Speaker 1: You can walk your door to night. You're not gonna 1348 01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:17,559 Speaker 1: let some stranger just walk into your home and say, hey, 1349 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:21,479 Speaker 1: I need a cup of water or a meal to eat, 1350 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,439 Speaker 1: you know, unless you unless you are willing to let 1351 01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 1: them in. But they need to knock on the door first. 1352 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:30,040 Speaker 1: You know, you don't just walk into somebody's home and 1353 01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:35,920 Speaker 1: expect them to give you what they've got. Somebody the 1354 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:37,920 Speaker 1: shirt off my back, but don't take it from me, 1355 01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,280 Speaker 1: you know. And isn't that I mean, I've I've That's 1356 01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:44,880 Speaker 1: exactly how I feel about Americans in general, perhaps the 1357 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,680 Speaker 1: most generous people on this earth. But don't you try 1358 01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:51,400 Speaker 1: and take something from them. They'll give it to you, 1359 01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:53,719 Speaker 1: but don't you try and take it. Don't In Alabama? 1360 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:57,559 Speaker 1: What a great call line to Noel? Is it? Nolan, 1361 01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:03,120 Speaker 1: Virginia Beach. Yeah, hey, no, how's it going? Oh? Pretty good? 1362 01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,040 Speaker 1: Well take us away. It's good to see the freedom 1363 01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:09,400 Speaker 1: huts in good hands. And as far as the Democrat, 1364 01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:11,160 Speaker 1: the Democrats trying to beat Chump, they're not going to 1365 01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:14,160 Speaker 1: beat him because he can wait them out. And they're 1366 01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,720 Speaker 1: impotent already because just like Republicans they before, when the 1367 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:20,719 Speaker 1: Republicans had the House, Democrats had the sent they weren't 1368 01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:23,439 Speaker 1: able to get anything done. So I mean, they're not 1369 01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:27,560 Speaker 1: going to beat them, no way. So I mean, is 1370 01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:30,040 Speaker 1: it but is it? Is it an impasse? Or is 1371 01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 1: the White House in charge? Well? I think the way 1372 01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:34,360 Speaker 1: I was then in charge. But I mean, the Dems 1373 01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:36,120 Speaker 1: are trying to say, okay, we're just going to deny 1374 01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:37,880 Speaker 1: him the funding. And like I said, he could do 1375 01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:42,240 Speaker 1: the emergency declaration and take it from there. But and 1376 01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:44,760 Speaker 1: he's trying to go the right route. But you're the 1377 01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:47,320 Speaker 1: only thing transigent Democrat, that's what he expects. You know, 1378 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,160 Speaker 1: you're not gonna get anywhere. Do you think the National 1379 01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:54,880 Speaker 1: Emergency is coming? I hope so, because I mean, I mean, 1380 01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:56,679 Speaker 1: I just find it hard to believe that the public 1381 01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,120 Speaker 1: can't after seeing all the pictures of the demon's partying 1382 01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:02,680 Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico.

It's snowing outside again here in DC. The 1410 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 1: government is still shut down. Nancy Pelosi is grounded by 1411 01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:42,680 Speaker 1: President Trump. But as I said in the first in 1412 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:44,800 Speaker 1: the first segment of this show a couple of hours ago, 1413 01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:49,080 Speaker 1: it's not the only time Nancy Pelosi's been trolled.

Lura, good evening, 1418 01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:05,280 Speaker 1: Good evening, Thanks for having me Raheim. Hey, absolutely, Laura, 1419 01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:09,720 Speaker 1: you are doing God's work out there, not least in 1420 01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,640 Speaker 1: trolling Nancy Pelosi. Tell us a little bit about what 1421 01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:18,920 Speaker 1: you did this week in you know, just a humanitarian action, 1422 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:24,200 Speaker 1: I thought, right, yeah, So, you know, Nancy Pelosi of course, 1423 01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:28,960 Speaker 1: has been very stubborn with President Trump and isn't budging 1424 01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:31,599 Speaker 1: at all when it comes to approving five billion dollars 1425 01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:33,719 Speaker 1: in the budget so that we can have a wall built, 1426 01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:36,760 Speaker 1: because you know, we have an absolute humanitarian crisis and 1427 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:41,160 Speaker 1: everyone's welcome here. And Nancy and Chuck they want open borders, 1428 01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,360 Speaker 1: and you know, they believe that asylum is a human right. 1429 01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:48,800 Speaker 1: And so I decided to go to California and I 1430 01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:53,040 Speaker 1: drove to Nancy Pelosi's multimillion dollar Napa Valley mansion and 1431 01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:57,080 Speaker 1: I met a little alien amigos, and we decided to 1432 01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:59,840 Speaker 1: hop her fence and make a sanctuary in her arts 1433 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 1: because everyone is welcome here, you know. And we had 1434 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:06,080 Speaker 1: a little fiesta and Lacasta day Nancy, and it was 1435 01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:09,560 Speaker 1: really wonderful, and we pitched a little tent and we 1436 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 1: wrote on the tent in red letters, immorality, because you know, 1437 01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:17,280 Speaker 1: walls are an immorality, all right, and that's Nancy's favorite words. 1438 01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:19,880 Speaker 1: And so it was really nice. You know, I met 1439 01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:23,960 Speaker 1: these these illegals. They were from Mexico and Guatemala, and 1440 01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:26,559 Speaker 1: one of them even told us they had a criminal record, 1441 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:28,760 Speaker 1: So you know, it doesn't matter though facts don't matter. 1442 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,320 Speaker 1: What matters is morality, and walls are in immorality. So 1443 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:35,720 Speaker 1: everyone is welcome here, even Ms thirteenth. We said that 1444 01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:37,800 Speaker 1: last week. No, that it doesn't matter if she gets 1445 01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,920 Speaker 1: everything faction correct, as long as she believes she's doing 1446 01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:44,479 Speaker 1: the moral thing. Do you think that relativism is bleeding 1447 01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:48,720 Speaker 1: into the Democrat Party at large at the moment. Yeah, 1448 01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:51,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's just an absolute absurdity at 1449 01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:55,040 Speaker 1: this point in time. And I think that I think 1450 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,800 Speaker 1: that it's not even they're not making an effort at 1451 01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:00,840 Speaker 1: all to conceal their hate. True. I mean, what they're 1452 01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:03,479 Speaker 1: doing right now, every single move, everything that they're doing 1453 01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,639 Speaker 1: is out of spite for President Trump and just pure 1454 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:10,840 Speaker 1: partisan politics. So even if it goes against the security 1455 01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,000 Speaker 1: of this country. So, I mean, we're at a point 1456 01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:16,160 Speaker 1: now where if Donald Trump were to say, you know, 1457 01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:20,479 Speaker 1: I you know, I would like to I would like 1458 01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 1: to deport this individual because what we already thought, right 1459 01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,920 Speaker 1: when Donald Trump, for example, when he deported a Nazi, 1460 01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,439 Speaker 1: an actual Nazi from New York City right and the 1461 01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:34,559 Speaker 1: left criticized him because ICE is the groups that deported 1462 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,880 Speaker 1: this Nazi. So Donald Trump literally deported a real life 1463 01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:42,639 Speaker 1: Nazi from this country, and the left was complaining about 1464 01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 1: it because they wanted to demonize him for supporting ICE. 1465 01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:49,439 Speaker 1: So no matter what he does right, whether he's supporting Nazi, 1466 01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,720 Speaker 1: supporting terrorists, finding the cure for cancer, finding the cure 1467 01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:56,000 Speaker 1: for AIDS, the left in this country is just hell 1468 01:25:56,080 --> 01:26:02,840 Speaker 1: bent on making his life misery. Of course canceled. You know, 1469 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,639 Speaker 1: the State of the Union a judge, you didn't want 1470 01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:09,040 Speaker 1: a President Trump attending. Yeah, but now her junkards, her 1471 01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,920 Speaker 1: junkard has been canceled. Now, Laura, I want to put 1472 01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 1: this to you, and I mean it in a in 1473 01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:17,280 Speaker 1: a in a complimentary way. Okay, Um, you are gas 1474 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:22,599 Speaker 1: lighting the left like Alexandra Accassio Cortez gas lights the right. 1475 01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:24,559 Speaker 1: You have this ability. I mean you have been deep 1476 01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:29,160 Speaker 1: personed across Twitter and and Patreon and all these things. 1477 01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:32,080 Speaker 1: You have been had your accounts banned and removed. You 1478 01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:37,400 Speaker 1: famously handcuffed yourself to Twitter HQ to highlight the assault 1479 01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:41,200 Speaker 1: on conservatives that the Silicon Valley is undertaking. But you 1480 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:43,800 Speaker 1: still manage to trend on Twitter, and you manage to 1481 01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,560 Speaker 1: trend on Twitter this week as well. You know, is 1482 01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:49,519 Speaker 1: this really going to come down to the things that 1483 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:53,360 Speaker 1: you're doing, which is you know, effectively fighting a mass 1484 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 1: culture war and attracting mass attention to these things with 1485 01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:03,920 Speaker 1: direct action. Yeah, that's exactly what my plan is, because 1486 01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:05,640 Speaker 1: of course you're right. I have been banned, I have 1487 01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:08,560 Speaker 1: been depersoned, and there is an active assault on me 1488 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,680 Speaker 1: and many others in this country who are conservative, and 1489 01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:13,840 Speaker 1: an attempt to silence us so that we don't have 1490 01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:16,559 Speaker 1: a voice and you know, not even just a say 1491 01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,760 Speaker 1: on social media. They're coming after us financially, they're trying 1492 01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:21,559 Speaker 1: to get us banned. But I'm not going to go away. 1493 01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:23,720 Speaker 1: So every single time they try to silence me, I'm 1494 01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:25,679 Speaker 1: going to take it up a notch. Right, And when 1495 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:28,320 Speaker 1: I handcuffed myself to Twitter, the left row articles like 1496 01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 1: death of a Provocateur and they said, well, Laura's done 1497 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:33,120 Speaker 1: for her, her career is done, She's going to fade 1498 01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,360 Speaker 1: into irrelevancy. Well, I don't call trending number one on 1499 01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,960 Speaker 1: Twitter and leading an illegal alien caravan into the speaker 1500 01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,640 Speaker 1: of the House is front lawn in other words, the 1501 01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 1: third most powerful politicians in this country's front yard and 1502 01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:49,519 Speaker 1: getting illegal aliens to try to open her door. Being irrelevant, right, 1503 01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:51,120 Speaker 1: And if I'm so irrelevance, and why are they so 1504 01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,800 Speaker 1: obsessed with me and writing articles about me every single day? 1505 01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:59,080 Speaker 1: Agree more, Laura, Well, see it's only January.

The Poles 1562 01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:57,519 Speaker 1: are telling us. Yeah, Pauls are full of it. I've 1563 01:30:57,560 --> 01:30:59,960 Speaker 1: never heard I've never heard more support in my entire 1564 01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:02,880 Speaker 1: her life. Wow. I even hear it from I even 1565 01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:06,599 Speaker 1: hear support from people who didn't like Trump that they 1566 01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:08,600 Speaker 1: believed that he should stick to his guns because this 1567 01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:10,600 Speaker 1: is what he ran on. We have a we have 1568 01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:13,560 Speaker 1: a senator in upstate New York who she has a 1569 01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:18,479 Speaker 1: tendency not to tell the truth. And her she promised, 1570 01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:20,760 Speaker 1: you would serve four years if you won election. By 1571 01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:22,360 Speaker 1: the way, there's no way I would vote for her. 1572 01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:26,479 Speaker 1: But she won, and two weeks after she promised it, 1573 01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:28,880 Speaker 1: she's throwing her head in the ring running for the 1574 01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:33,680 Speaker 1: president United States. So that means her first thing she 1575 01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:38,679 Speaker 1: did was lie before she ran. But Paul, But Paul, 1576 01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:42,479 Speaker 1: she felt the divine providence, you know, the hand of 1577 01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:47,800 Speaker 1: history on her shoulder. You surely can't you know when 1578 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:53,520 Speaker 1: when something like that intervenes quite clearly. Oh yeah, I'm 1579 01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:55,760 Speaker 1: standing at a church parking lot because they just helped 1580 01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:57,880 Speaker 1: out at the church.

Yeah, and uh, 1583 01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:07,360 Speaker 1: I went to the Believe me when I tell you 1584 01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:11,680 Speaker 1: there is no divine intervention for her. It's the other 1585 01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:14,400 Speaker 1: It's it's the other end. It's the other end of 1586 01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:16,639 Speaker 1: that spectrum that she's going to end up in. Who 1587 01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:20,920 Speaker 1: oh boy, Well, Paul, thank you for conveying your your 1588 01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:24,080 Speaker 1: patron's views to us here on the Bucks Exton Show. 1589 01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:27,840 Speaker 1: You heard Paul.

Let's 1591 01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:38,519 Speaker 1: ask Ruth in Illinois Online three what she thinks about 1592 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:42,560 Speaker 1: this all. Ruth, good evening. Hi, nice talk to you. 1593 01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,200 Speaker 1: Great to talk to you, Ruth. It's all it's all yours. 1594 01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:50,200 Speaker 1: Take us away. Hello, Yeah, go right ahead, Okay. I 1595 01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:53,320 Speaker 1: just mind his say in regards to the letter that 1596 01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:59,799 Speaker 1: the President wrote to Pelucy. They're calling it childish. I see, checkmate. 1597 01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:06,880 Speaker 1: And why he's respanding in kind? He's he's to me 1598 01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:12,800 Speaker 1: that was a response she should have gotten. And why 1599 01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:19,280 Speaker 1: why do you I mean she tried to stop him 1600 01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:22,080 Speaker 1: or may well end up stopping him. Giving the State 1601 01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:25,040 Speaker 1: of the Union address from Congress in a couple of 1602 01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:31,120 Speaker 1: weeks time. Why do you think that President Trump responded 1603 01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:35,000 Speaker 1: in kind rather than just saying, well, we're going to 1604 01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:38,200 Speaker 1: go give the speech anyway. Do you think this is 1605 01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:40,840 Speaker 1: a show of force and a show from his end 1606 01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:45,240 Speaker 1: that he ain't backing down anytime soon. Well, it seems 1607 01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:50,639 Speaker 1: to me that he had said it one time when 1608 01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:54,479 Speaker 1: she looked like she might be the speaker, that he 1609 01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:56,760 Speaker 1: said he would like to get along with her, and 1610 01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:00,760 Speaker 1: he would very much try to do so. But yes, 1611 01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:03,599 Speaker 1: you warned to play games, he could play the massle. 1612 01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:07,240 Speaker 1: He did say that. He did say that, I recall that. 1613 01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,479 Speaker 1: So you're fully behind this. How long do you foresee 1614 01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:11,840 Speaker 1: the shutdown going on for? And and how does it 1615 01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:15,360 Speaker 1: affect you? Does it?

Thank you very much for the call here 1627 01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:58,320 Speaker 1: on the Buck Sexton Show. Um, I have an article 1628 01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:02,280 Speaker 1: out in the Americans say today that actually I wrote 1629 01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:04,680 Speaker 1: last week and only managed to get around sending it 1630 01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:11,880 Speaker 1: filing it to a reputable outlet yesterday. It's called because 1631 01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,439 Speaker 1: I was having a little fun with the title, Here's 1632 01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:18,599 Speaker 1: how dry January makes me better than you, little little 1633 01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:24,040 Speaker 1: little dig there. But it's it's effectively a thousand words. 1634 01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:26,640 Speaker 1: Also that sounds like a lot, but it's about a 1635 01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:30,320 Speaker 1: four minute, five minute read about a process that I 1636 01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:33,120 Speaker 1: go through every year now, which is called dry January. 1637 01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:36,280 Speaker 1: It's a very British invention which began in I think 1638 01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:39,479 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. I picked it up three years ago where 1639 01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:43,920 Speaker 1: I said to myself, look between the December Christmas boozy 1640 01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:48,000 Speaker 1: parties and well the rest of my boozy life, I 1641 01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:51,519 Speaker 1: needed a detox period. And not only did I need 1642 01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:54,400 Speaker 1: a detox period this year because I went especially heavy 1643 01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:58,680 Speaker 1: in December, but I needed a detox period because the 1644 01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:03,400 Speaker 1: year last year was very very very difficult. I mean 1645 01:36:03,479 --> 01:36:07,120 Speaker 1: I was on a plane almost every other day going 1646 01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:10,360 Speaker 1: somewhere else in the world to meet some political leader 1647 01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:13,240 Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, just just doing the day job. 1648 01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:19,080 Speaker 1: And I would medicate with poor sleep, lots of booze, 1649 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:23,160 Speaker 1: poor food, etc. Etc. So towards the end of last year, 1650 01:36:23,160 --> 01:36:25,840 Speaker 1: I decided, Okay, it's time to get in shape. And 1651 01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:29,960 Speaker 1: I've become a little bit evangelical about dry January and 1652 01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:32,320 Speaker 1: my little fitness kicks. So I wanted to I wanted 1653 01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:35,200 Speaker 1: to write about that. I'm thirty two years old, if 1654 01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:38,240 Speaker 1: you're wondering, but I felt like I was fifty five 1655 01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:42,599 Speaker 1: years old, if I'm honest with you, between the between 1656 01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:46,880 Speaker 1: the cigarettes and the gins and the wine and everything 1657 01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:51,840 Speaker 1: else that I was doing. So this month, I, on 1658 01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:58,160 Speaker 1: January first, gave up smoking cigarettes forever. I will still 1659 01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:01,920 Speaker 1: treat myself to a guard and a pipe from time 1660 01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:05,200 Speaker 1: to time because you don't inhale those and there are 1661 01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,519 Speaker 1: fewer chemicals and so on and so forth. And this 1662 01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:09,720 Speaker 1: is where I get some of you tweeting at me saying, no, 1663 01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:12,160 Speaker 1: that's not true. It's a myth, but that's the way 1664 01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm doing it. But no more cigarettes for me. And 1665 01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:17,960 Speaker 1: gone off the booze for January. Now, I thought it 1666 01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:21,679 Speaker 1: would be very, very difficult. It usually is quite difficult, 1667 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:24,320 Speaker 1: so difficult in fact, that I give myself three cheat 1668 01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:27,640 Speaker 1: days in the month if I really need them, on 1669 01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:31,240 Speaker 1: the basis that I give fifty pounds sterling, which is 1670 01:37:31,240 --> 01:37:35,960 Speaker 1: about seventy ord dollars to charity per day that I cheat. Now, 1671 01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:37,960 Speaker 1: I'm delighted to inform you that I have cheated zero 1672 01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:42,280 Speaker 1: days this month so far, and I intend not to 1673 01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:45,040 Speaker 1: at all, what with fewer than two weeks left to go. 1674 01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:48,840 Speaker 1: But I wanted to, I guess I wanted to extol 1675 01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:51,880 Speaker 1: the virtues of it to you guys, if I might 1676 01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:54,800 Speaker 1: for a moment. You know, you lose weight. The average 1677 01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:57,320 Speaker 1: dry January participant loses I think about four or five 1678 01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:59,439 Speaker 1: pounds over the course of the month. I've lost more 1679 01:37:59,479 --> 01:38:01,599 Speaker 1: than that because going to the gym every day. At 1680 01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,400 Speaker 1: the moment as well, liver function improves, chances are getting 1681 01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:13,639 Speaker 1: cancer declines almost immediately. And you know my experiences with it. Yeah, okay, 1682 01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,040 Speaker 1: I struggled to sleep a little because I was using 1683 01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:20,240 Speaker 1: alcohol as means by which to knock me out. I've 1684 01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,800 Speaker 1: had a little a few withdrawal symptoms, get a little 1685 01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:25,120 Speaker 1: bit twitchy here and there, and I am hungry a lot, 1686 01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,720 Speaker 1: But I guess that's probably partly because of the workouts 1687 01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,840 Speaker 1: as well. But I suppose my favorite part of it 1688 01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:37,759 Speaker 1: is that, you know, well, come February first, quite frankly, 1689 01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:42,080 Speaker 1: which I intend to call wet February, but come February first, 1690 01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:47,040 Speaker 1: and especially during the Christmas period, where you've got all 1691 01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:49,479 Speaker 1: these parties to go to and family to see it, etc. 1692 01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:51,559 Speaker 1: And the egg nog and the wine and the champagne 1693 01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:54,400 Speaker 1: and the beer is flowing, you can be a little 1694 01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:59,320 Speaker 1: bit more loose about it, or loose about it without 1695 01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:01,400 Speaker 1: feeling as guilt because you know that you're getting that 1696 01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:04,200 Speaker 1: detox in January, don't you know. If you want to 1697 01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:06,840 Speaker 1: read my column on it, it's up at the American Spectator, 1698 01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:10,880 Speaker 1: that spectator dot org on the world Wide Web.

And if 1775 01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:34,120 Speaker 1: you were to just read the mainstream media press reports 1776 01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:36,600 Speaker 1: of this thing, you would get the wrong impression. You 1777 01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:39,879 Speaker 1: would think that we were all dancering around with horns 1778 01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:42,559 Speaker 1: and tales and doing god knows what. But the fact 1779 01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:46,920 Speaker 1: is I am doesn't get reported. Is what a fantastic 1780 01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:51,960 Speaker 1: and positive and good energy type of eventnesses. There's a 1781 01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:54,160 Speaker 1: very you know, the professional term would be, well, it's 1782 01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:58,000 Speaker 1: a great networking opportunity, which is, but on a human level, 1783 01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:03,680 Speaker 1: it is a designed specifically to remind conservatives of all 1784 01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:07,760 Speaker 1: stripes that you're not alone, and that throughout the year 1785 01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:11,320 Speaker 1: you ought to stay in contact with each other, share resources, 1786 01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:13,880 Speaker 1: and that when we work together we can we can 1787 01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:18,040 Speaker 1: achieve great things. And especially when we take on the left. 1788 01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:21,800 Speaker 1: Our registration numbers are up significantly this year, and folks 1789 01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:23,400 Speaker 1: have asked me, well, why do you think that is? 1790 01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:26,120 Speaker 1: And when it's all said and done, we'll do post 1791 01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:30,200 Speaker 1: events surveys and have better data on it. My sense 1792 01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:34,880 Speaker 1: is that something happened um in Laton twenty eighteen with 1793 01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:39,280 Speaker 1: the Brett Kavanaugh hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, 1794 01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:44,240 Speaker 1: where conservatives understood what the left was about and that 1795 01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:48,960 Speaker 1: they were about destroying and pushing off the grid. The 1796 01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:52,120 Speaker 1: folks that are in alignment with you and I and 1797 01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:57,439 Speaker 1: I think we're enjoying a moment in American conservatism where 1798 01:44:57,479 --> 01:45:01,479 Speaker 1: we're getting over petty squabbles. We understand what's at stake, 1799 01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:06,000 Speaker 1: we understand what the other team is seeking to achieve, 1800 01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:07,720 Speaker 1: and we're ready to fight. We're ready to do it 1801 01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:10,559 Speaker 1: with smiles on our faces. Well, look, Ian, that's all 1802 01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:12,720 Speaker 1: well and good, but when the bloody hell is it 1803 01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:18,240 Speaker 1: February twenty seventh to March second, that's February twenty seventh 1804 01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:22,120 Speaker 1: to March second.
