1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt, impeachment blast Ada into

2
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: the open with hearings this week that people can actually

3
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: watch the blackout on the whistleblower's name from the media,

4
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Nicky Haley and the subversives. Democrats are mad and lonely,

5
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: Border patrol arrest drop dramatically, and the fate of DACA.

6
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: That and oh so much more coming up on The

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show where

8
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: the mission or mission is to decode what really matters

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: with actionable intelligence. Mag No mistake, American, You're a great

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: American Again the Buck Sexton Show begins, He's a great guy. No,

11
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to buck Sexton Show. Everybody, Happy Veterans Day. First

12
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: and foremost, take a moment to thank the veterans in

13
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: your life, Thank someone for their service, and for all

14
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: of you veterans listening, thank you so much for being

15
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: the brave patriots you are and being a part of

16
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: the greatest, most powerful, most just military in the history

17
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: of the world. So we got impeachment weeks starting now.

18
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: This is when all of a sudden things start to

19
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: happen out in the open. You'll see Democrats engaged in

20
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: all kinds of grandstanding. It'll be wall to wall coverage

21
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: by a lot of the news networks. The people who

22
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: are at the top of the news hierarchy in many

23
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: ways are having a Watergate tingle here. Oh water Gate

24
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: is this is when journalism can reassert itself. You see.

25
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Trump has been a challenge, a direct challenge and affront

26
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: really in their eyes, to the journalistic establishment. In fact,

27
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: I would argue that that's one of the finding characteristics

28
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: of his presidency, his willingness to call them fake news,

29
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: to say what they really are, and not to back

30
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: down when they claim, Oh, it's basically violent. Oh how

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: could he say these things about us? It's terrible. Well,

32
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: it turns out the president of the United States can't

33
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: be bullied by the media or can't be persuaded. He

34
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: can't be bought off quite as easily as other Republicans

35
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: in the past, that's for sure. I'm not saying opinion

36
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to him. The media. Sometimes I worry this

37
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: president does read a little too much from say Maggie

38
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: Haberman in the New York Times. I think he cares

39
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: more than he should, but he cares a lot less

40
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: than any of his predecessors. That is for sure. But

41
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: the journalistic establishment sees this as an opportunity to reassert

42
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: its role in American life, which for decades we've been

43
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: told is to speak truth to power, to unearth that

44
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: which the corrupt, the oppressive want to hide. That's what

45
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: journalism has told us. It is all about for my

46
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: entire life, and I'm sure for the lives of some

47
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: of you listening who are quite a bit older than me.

48
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: That's what they've been teaching people in journalism schools. This

49
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: is what they say about themselves un ironically, mind you,

50
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: on TV on a regular basis. Now is their chance

51
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: to get no small degree of revenge against this president

52
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: who has challenged their sense of who they are their professions, yes,

53
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: but also their role in American society and their role

54
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: in our day to day lives. Journalists are enraged at

55
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: this president because he has pointed out that there is

56
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: no special sect of our fellow Americans who are the honest,

57
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: the just, the true journalists. They don't exist. There's part

58
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: there are partisans, there are activists. There are people who

59
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: do everything that they can in order to push certain agendas.

60
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: But if they can get rid of this president like

61
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: they got rid of Reagan, which I would. I'm sorry Nixon.

62
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: They wish they could have gotten rid of Reagan as

63
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: they pushed Nixon out. Not that Nixon didn't give them

64
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: plenty to work with. The certainly did, but that would

65
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: be a restoration in their minds to the old order,

66
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: the way things are supposed to be. And so I

67
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: just want to prepare you for those of you who

68
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: are going to be watching some of the mainstream coverage

69
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: or just it'll come up on your computer screens or

70
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: on your smartphones as you're scanning through the news. Hopefully

71
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: you just listen to this show and drown out much

72
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: of that worthless noise, but if you do see it,

73
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: I want you to be prepared for dishonesty on a

74
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: level that will be truly mind blowing for activism and

75
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: partisanship from people who are telling you, as they are

76
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: trying to persuade you to go against a Republican president,

77
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: that they are not doing this because if any animus

78
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: against the president or against the Republican Party or Conservatism,

79
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: they're doing this out of love of country, because Trump

80
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: has violated the Constitution. And then you could do what

81
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: I do and say what part of the Constitution. Exactly

82
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: has he violated? Can you just point to what he

83
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: has violated the Constitution? If they're going to use the

84
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 1: most broad designations possible. Oh, he has failed to faithfully

85
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: conduct his office responsibilities. Like how with a conversation that

86
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: I have not heard a single credible lawyer say was

87
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: a criminal act? Not one? How exactly are as the

88
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: president of the United States violating the Constitution. They won't

89
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: have a good answer. They will just they will yell

90
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: at you, though, they will make it clear that you're

91
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: a bad person if you don't agree with them, like

92
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: those lunatics who are screaming in my face last week

93
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: as I was on the way to a social event.

94
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: They will yell, they will scream, they will shriek. His

95
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: Democrats are very, very angry. In fact, there's some polling

96
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: that I will get too later in the show proves

97
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: the Democrats really have lost their minds. I mean, this

98
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: is now far too commonplace. People that identify with that

99
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: ideology and with the culture the Democratic Party don't have

100
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: the tap the brakes mode anymore. They can't do it,

101
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: can't pull it off that they can't chill out. They

102
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: are too frenzied around all of this stuff, perhaps because

103
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: they have Democrat candidates for the presidency telling them that

104
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: the world is going to end in ten years unless

105
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: we listen to Alexandria Occasio Cortez and institute the Green

106
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: New Deal. Only dishonest or stupid people can believe that.

107
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of dishonest people and unfortunately

108
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: even more stupid people. But one thing you will not

109
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: hear a lot of this week, as we enter the

110
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 1: open phase, never there's still stuff going on behind closed doors.

111
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: There's still lots of conspiring and machinations, all sorts of underhanded,

112
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: politically motivated stuff the Democrats are going to try to

113
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: do to conjure up. I mean, this is really an

114
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: act of political alchemy what they're doing here with this

115
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: phone call with Ukraine. I will find a way. We'll

116
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: come up with some way to convince people that something

117
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: that they know instinctively and right away is not terrible.

118
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: We'll make them believe that it's terrible. We just have

119
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: to find the right way to present this, find the

120
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: right words. One thing you will not hear is a

121
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: fulsome discussion of the whistle blower reported by numerous outlets

122
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: as Eric Scharamela, and I'm seeing now some people are

123
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: still running around saying that to use his name out

124
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: loud is a crime and a violation of the whistle

125
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: blower statute. My friends, this is now the desperate straits

126
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: the left finds itself in when they will openly advocate

127
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: for the criminalization of common knowledge. That's where we are.

128
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: Things that are known publicly to anyone with access to

129
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: the Internet who cares to know them can now be

130
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: considered criminal on the left, including journalists who are going

131
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: along with this and acting like, yeah, sure, maybe there

132
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: is some crime here. The same journalists who will out

133
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: intelligence programs and individuals recklessly. The same journalists who think

134
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: that making America look bad in a time of war

135
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: is always a patriotic duty, doesn't matter if it results

136
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: in greater attacks against US soldiers. You know, they make

137
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: those kinds of decisions all the time. No problem, But

138
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: the whistle blower's identity is sacrosanct, at least for now.

139
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Why can't we just get confirmation of this? Journals, why

140
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: don't you care to know? How can anyone pretend that

141
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: this is not important? Here is a piece by James

142
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: Freeman over the Wall Street Journal. In the fifty days

143
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: since news consumers were told that a federal whistleblower was

144
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: expressing his disapproval of a presidential phone call, CBS News

145
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: has aired or published more than a hundred stories on

146
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump and Ukraine. Counting stories from local affiliates,

147
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the number rises above two hundred, but CBS hasn't come

148
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: close to the wall to wall coverage offered by rival

149
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: ABC News. A search of ABC stories about mister Trump

150
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: in Ukraine yields six hundred and eighty seven results for

151
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: the last fifty days. More than three hundred of the

152
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: ABC stories specifically include the term whistleblower, and roughly all

153
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: the stories are derived from the original allegations formulated by

154
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: the unnamed government employee in consultation with the office of

155
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: Representative Adam Schiff. Mister Schiff publicly denied that such consultation

156
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: had occurred, but later acknowledged the fact as his falsehood

157
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: was exposed. Usually, news organizations like ABC and CBS at

158
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: least pretend to spend their days trying to report previously

159
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: non public information, but they recently decided not to report

160
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: the name of the federal whistleblower. Ironically the entire impeachment

161
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: case jes on an assumed political motivation by mister Trump

162
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: for comments on a phone call that we're not illegal yet.

163
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: By maintaining a blackout on the identity of the whistleblower,

164
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: news outlets are impeding the public's ability to learn the

165
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: possible political motivations of his accuser. That James Freeman nails

166
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: it here in the Wall Seet Journal That is exactly correct.

167
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: And they have to at least get to the point

168
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: where these hearings are up and running and going. They

169
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: have to at least get to the point where we

170
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: are seeing people on TV from the Democratic Party able

171
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: to give their speeches about how Trump is horrible, and

172
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: Trump is this, and Trump is that. All of those

173
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: things have to occur, right, this is this is what's

174
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: really going on here. And if at that point we

175
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: are all able to talk about the name of this

176
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: whistle blower, well, at least at least, then they will

177
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: have launched the ship, so to speak, Come what may.

178
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: But the suppression of the whistleblower's identity is appalling, and

179
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: it just shows us that journalism in America today is broken.

180
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: Although I would actually argue, we've just found out the

181
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: truth about it. It It hasn't ever been anything other than

182
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: what it is. Now, it's just more clear what it

183
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: is because of Trump. It's more clear what we're dealing with,

184
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: because the President of the United States has turned journalists

185
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: into lunatics and some kind of a frothy rage. They

186
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: have lost their minds. They hate this guy, and they

187
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: will defame and profane their professions in order to take

188
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: him down. Doesn't matter what they have to do. But

189
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: how can journalists pretend to be honest brokers of the truth,

190
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: or how can they pretend that they are investigating and

191
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: trying to get us the information we need when they

192
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: are actively engaged in a campaign of information suppression by

193
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: not referring to the alleged whistleblower, all of these news

194
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: outlets we're happy to print allegations against Justice Kavanaugh, for example,

195
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: without any verification, without any journalistic standards beyond some person

196
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: came out and said something, that's it. They ran with

197
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: those Oh, we're going to pretend now that whistleblower protection

198
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: law is going to stop journalists from the same journalist

199
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: who would out any classified or covert action program the

200
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: US government's running anywhere in the world if they felt

201
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: the need to do it, which just as their whim

202
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: they decide, Yeah, the public has a right to know.

203
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: How often have you heard that the public has a

204
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: right to know? And it's not just the mainstream outlets either,

205
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: it's not just the big journalistic edifices that still I

206
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: don't know why people we can't get past this era

207
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: where people believe that these journals are, these big institutions

208
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: are somehow to be trusted, even when they keep betraying

209
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: that trust. How many times can you get burned by

210
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: the partisanship of the Washington Post in the New York Times?

211
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: How much fake news? How many false stories before one

212
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: cancels a subscription and says, I'm no longer going to

213
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: go to these people for my narrative of what is

214
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: happening in America and around the world. I don't have

215
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: an answer to that, but I do find it trembling.

216
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: This is where we are still to this day. But

217
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: YouTube YouTube now apparently also feels that there should not

218
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: be a mention of the whistleblower's name. That's considered a

219
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: violation of community standards. According to a one journalist named

220
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: Tim Poole, a violation of community standards that have to

221
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: do with conspiring for criminal activity and possible harm against

222
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: a person. That's right, my friends, the most powerful media

223
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: companies in the country are refusing to report on the

224
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: name of the single individual who is most newsworthy in

225
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: America right now. They refuse to report on his name.

226
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: They refuse to try to dig up more facts and

227
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: background information. Why they pretend it's because of concern of harm?

228
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: Would that stop them in other instances if this were

229
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: a whistleblower against President Obama or a Democrat president. Does

230
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: any even think that all of this bombast about the

231
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: whistleblower statue would be emanating from the newsrooms across the country.

232
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so. It's because the so called whistleblower,

233
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: because he's not even really a whistleblower, folks, he's so

234
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: called whistleblower, is necessary to the anti Trump movement right now.

235
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: And there is nothing, nothing, that is more important to

236
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: the left than that. That is the single The goal

237
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: is to defeat Trump. Everything else falls into a distant,

238
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: distant second place. Doesn't matter what this does the journalistic

239
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: standards and ethics. You'll also notice the number of news

240
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: reports on Project Veritas and what happened at ABC News.

241
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: Just so we're keeping score here, so we're clear. NBC

242
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: News clearly clearly shut down at the top level from

243
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: the top people there, shut down coverage of Harvey Weinstein's

244
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: sexual serial sexual predation because he was a super powerful

245
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: liberal Democrat, friends with the Clinton's, friends with the Obamas,

246
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: and they didn't want to touch it. So there's your

247
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: truth to power at NBC and ABC didn't want to

248
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: report on serial pedophile and near billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who

249
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: has connections to some of the most powerful people in

250
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: the world because his close connections were to people like

251
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: the British Royal families, Prince Andrew, and Bill Clinton himself

252
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: when Hillary also was still thinking about running for president.

253
00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: By the way, we still trust them, though, Do you

254
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: trust them? I certainly hope not. This man from the

255
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: first day he went into office, he wanted to have

256
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: an alternative foreign policy where Jared Kushner wanted a special

257
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: back channel communication to Russia that no one would know about.

258
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: Now he's got Giuliani running a back channel improper foreign

259
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: policy to get dirt on his political officials. You throw

260
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: in an obstruction of Congress. You throw an obstruction of

261
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: justice from Muller. This is just an a lawless administration

262
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: that knows no restraint, and we're supposed to be publicly

263
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: say oh, we're gonna listen. I'm gonna listen. And there

264
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: could be some unbelievable thing that the president brings up,

265
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: but no, there is clearly obstruction of Congress, obstruction of justice,

266
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: and abuse of power. That'll be about is that incoherent

267
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: blather from Representative Steve Cohen there Democrat of course, given

268
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: what he's saying about President Trump. That goes out saying

269
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: Representative Steve Cohen, he's saying this stuff about the president

270
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, wait, what he's jumping around? You know

271
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: this thing he did and obstructing this and obstructing data.

272
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure the President engaged an unprecedented cooperation with the

273
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: Muller probe, which was completely based on faulty premisses and

274
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: lies and collusion between the meeting, the Democratic Party, and

275
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: foreign sources. By the way, not just Christopher Steele, the

276
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: people who relied on for the information in that insane dossier,

277
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: which I went back and read some more of over

278
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: the week. In the fact that anyone took the dossier

279
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: seriously is a testament to the stupidity of some of

280
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: the most powerful people in the intelligence apparatus and the

281
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy. The dumbest rise to the top of the

282
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy many times. Make no mistake about it. I've

283
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: seen it myself. You have predicted though, that the president's

284
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: not gonna last much longer, that he's gonna resign or yeah.

285
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: I think there's an overwhelming cascade of of evidence, and

286
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: so this week will be the starting of that waterfall.

287
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: It's one thing when things are behind closed doors and

288
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: you're doing an investigation. It's another thing when it's open

289
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: theater and you can actually see the rank lawlessness of

290
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: what's gone on and the lack of constitutionality in the

291
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: process with the president. And I think I think it's

292
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: not just a Ukrainian call. There will be other elements

293
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: of this story that unfold where people will say, Okay,

294
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: wait a minute. There's a combination of incompetence, there's a

295
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: combination of a destruction of the executive branch of the

296
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: United States in addition to the lawlessness and traitorous like behavior.

297
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: So traitors like behavior. Oh, there's no question. I mean,

298
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: you're if you're a strong word anything, Well, what word

299
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: would you use. You're you're on the phone with the

300
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: president of the Ukraine and you're strong arming him to

301
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: have him go after your political opponent. Okay, that is

302
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,479
Speaker 1: you're become a traitor to the Constitution and a traitor

303
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: to the laws of the United States. Trader, just the

304
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: word a lot mooch trader. Isn't that interesting? This from

305
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: a man who even at the time of Trump's greatest victory,

306
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: which is the election, I mean that was such a

307
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: moment of shock for many people across the country. I

308
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: know not that many of you listening to this, but

309
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: at a time when a lot of people were trying

310
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: to curry favorite the president, the degree of sycophancy from

311
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: Scaramucci was a sight to behold. And I saw it myself.

312
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: This was a guy who'd go on TV, you know,

313
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: the president's super genius. He's a Christian billionaire, super genius.

314
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: You know, like Kanye says, the president everything he does,

315
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: he's playing five D chess, twelve D chess. The President

316
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: understands the will the American people. I mean, he would

317
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: go I remember this guy because I sat on some

318
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: panels with him. I did some shows with this this

319
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: fellow of the mooch. As at first, all where did

320
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: this guy come from? Well, I am I listening about anything?

321
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: What does he know about any of this stuff? I don't.

322
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the president's biggest the president's biggest weakness

323
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: other than perhaps a bit of messaging and discipline sometimes,

324
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: but is the people that he has put in positions

325
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: of a Look at all these people are turning on him.

326
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: Tillerson and Kelly and those are some of the better ones.

327
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: You've got Mooch and I'm a Rosa and you've got

328
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: Cohed and I mean these are He's made a lot

329
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: of bad a lot of bad choices in that regard.

330
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say other than he

331
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: should have picked different people for these roles. But the

332
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: Mooch saying that he's a traitor, I mean, that's You're

333
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: going to hear a lot of that now, just use

334
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: the words bash him, go after this president with the

335
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: most terrible allegations possible. That's going to be the choice.

336
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: That's going to be the decision that they make. And

337
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: then I also bring you Senator Chuck Schumer, though, who

338
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: has to deal with the reality of what's going to

339
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: happen in the Senate. You see, this is going to

340
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: be the great moment for the Democrats right now, when

341
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: they can say whatever they want to say on the

342
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: floor of the House, they can push whatever stories they

343
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: want to push, and they don't have to worry about

344
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: the votes because they have the votes. The truth, however,

345
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: is that there's something different going on in the Senate,

346
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: where we fortunately have a Republican majority and would need

347
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: two thirds. The founders knew what they were doing with this,

348
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: would need two thirds in the Senate to vote for

349
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: removal from office. And so also because they don't have

350
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: a majority, the Senate procedures will be set not by

351
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: the Democrats but by the Republicans. So all the stuff

352
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: you're seeing right now with shape from the behind closed

353
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 1: doors and the lack of honesty and truth and fairness

354
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: going on back there, this is so classic. They're a

355
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: railroading Trump where they have the majority, and then in

356
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: the Senate, where they know they're going to have to

357
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: deal with a whole different situation, they're going to plead

358
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: for how oh, come on? This is the Senate. We

359
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: need to be fair here, so give us some give

360
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: the Democrats some concessions. Don't don't just steamroll the Democrat

361
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: argument here the Democrat point of view, I mean the arguments.

362
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: Just get rid of Trump, there's nothing beyond that. But

363
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: don't steamroll us just because you have the majority. That's

364
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: only something that happens in the House. Here's Senator Schumer,

365
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: for example, trying to appear as though he's the reasonable

366
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: man in the situation. Play for McConnell is the majority leader,

367
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: so it's his prerogative to set up rules. In the past,

368
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: there's always been consultation with the minority leader, and I

369
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: hope he will consult with us and we can get

370
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: some fair bipartisan rules, like was done in the last

371
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 1: impeachment situation with Bill Clinton. They initially came to an

372
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: initial agreement that passed a hundred to nothing. They had

373
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: some disputes later and it passed in a more divided way.

374
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: But I am ready to sit down with Leader McConnell

375
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: and try to come up with fair rules. There's no

376
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: reason why we shouldn't be able to do that. So

377
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: the Democrats are the minority there, but they want fair rules,

378
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: fair rules. Does anyone think that their fair rules going

379
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: on in the House? If you read as I did

380
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: over the weekend, some of the transcripts from these witnesses,

381
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: the transcripts from these witnesses that have testified behind closed

382
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: doors to the Democrat Intelligence Committee run by Schiff, every

383
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: time they ask a question about hey, was there you know,

384
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: did you collude or did you have any conversations or

385
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: did you have any any back and forth with this

386
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: or that Democrat asking the witnesses, or anytime they start

387
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: to get closer to a question that all of a

388
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: sudden is blah blah blah blah blay. Can't talk, can't talk, No, no, no,

389
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: don't answer it, don't answer. The Democrats just shout it down.

390
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: They just shout it down. And there's no judge there,

391
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: you see. So it's like imagine a courtroom where there's

392
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: no judge, and anytime a witness that is presented by

393
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: the prosecution is about to get questioned by the defense,

394
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: the prosecutors gonna can't here, can't and start yelling and

395
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: screaming like a bunch of children. I'm not exaggerating. That's

396
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: what they do in the House Intelligence Committee. That is

397
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: what they are doing behind closed doors right now. They

398
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, sorry, can't you know, can't talk, can't

399
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: answer that question. Fair process, fair process, my foot I

400
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: was angry. I don't know why my foot was when

401
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: I came out of my mouth. But all right, But

402
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: this is this reminds me very much of the quote

403
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: from Frank Herbert's Children of Doone. Some of you who

404
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: know I'm talking about. When I am weaker than you,

405
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: I ask for freedom because that is according to your principles.

406
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: When I am stronger than you, I take away your

407
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: freedom because that is according to my principles. Well, this

408
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: is what the Democrats are doing. I tweeted this out

409
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: last night. When Democrats don't have the votes, they ask

410
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: for fairness because that is according to conservative principles. When

411
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Democrats do have the votes, they take away fairness because

412
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: that is according to Democrat principles. It's exactly what's happening

413
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: here in the House. It's there where the highway deal

414
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: with it. Elections have consequences. In the Senate. Now you're

415
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: having Schumer and in the vanguard here. If they oh,

416
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: whoa hold on, Let's let's establish fair rules. Let's all agree,

417
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: let's all be civilized about this. You know. Yeah, because

418
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: Democrats don't have the majority and they don't have the votes.

419
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: These people, these leftists, couldn't be any more transparent, but

420
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: unfortunately they don't really care. We have reached such polarized

421
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: times that there's very little that a Democrat politician can

422
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 1: do now that would turn any of his or her

423
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: supporters against him, as long as it was geared toward

424
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: the destruction of President Trump, As long as that's the

425
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: overall plan, I would say, you know, Nicky Haley has

426
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: a book coming out, and in her book there are

427
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: some things that is that are I think troubling dreamed.

428
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't know Nicky Haley. I've

429
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: actually never interviewed her. These days, there are few and

430
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: fewer of those officials that I've never had a chance

431
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: to talk. But I've never interviewed Nikki Haley. I've heard

432
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: that she's a straight shooter. I can't really speak to

433
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: it beyond that she has this book coming out. However,

434
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: I also all these public officials writing books, I find

435
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: it a little not just repetitive and boring, because these

436
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: books are almost always a waste of everyone's time they've

437
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: written for these officials. It strikes me as a waste

438
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: of time for most people. But there are a couple

439
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: of sometimes there'll be a couple of interesting things in it.

440
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: And here you have, first of all, Nicky Haley, during

441
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: an interview in advance of the book coming out, saying that, look,

442
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: there's nothing in the trans Well, let's hear from her

443
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: play clip twenty five. You're an impeach a president for

444
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: asking for a favor that didn't happen and giving money

445
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: and it wasn't with help. I don't know what you

446
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: would impeach him on. And look, Nora, impeachment is like

447
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: the death penalty for a public official. When you look

448
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: at the transcript, there's nothing in that transcript that warrants

449
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: the death penalty for the president. And I think that,

450
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: to be clear, it was not a complete transcript. There

451
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: are still things that are missing from it. And in

452
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: that he does say I would like you to do

453
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: us a favor, though the Ukrainians never did the investigation

454
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,479
Speaker 1: and the president released the funds. I mean, when you

455
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: look at those there's just nothing impeachable there. And more

456
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: than that, I think the biggest thing that bothers me

457
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: is the American people should decide this. Why do we

458
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: have a bunch of people in Congress making this decision?

459
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: The transcript is incomplete. You'll hear this. This is another

460
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: one of these things that journalists will say, and they

461
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: think it's smart, They think that they're all I'm really

462
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: up on things. Perhaps they should read through the transcripts

463
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: of the testimony behind closed doors as I have, or

464
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: you have these various witnesses, former ambassadors, NSC officials, etc.

465
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: Brought forward by Adam Schiff For the sole purpose of

466
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: trying to trash President Trump. And when Vinman right who

467
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: The more we learn about him, the more clear it

468
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: seems that he had a at least a policy acts

469
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: to grind against the Trump administration. But but Vinman said,

470
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: when asked directly, well, maybe they didn't you know, the

471
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: company was named Barisma. They had that. That might have

472
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: been left out of the transcript, that one word. But

473
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: that's we all know what company was talking about. That

474
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter is the rest of the transcript. Actor

475
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: he was asked this the guy who was supposed to

476
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: be bolstering this whistleblower's complaint because he also had concerns

477
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: about it. He was asked, and guess what he said, Yeah,

478
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: it was it was accurate. Oh okay, well look at that.

479
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: So what's this, Oh, there's there's another transcript out there.

480
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: There's something that's see They say this, this is a

481
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: dodge because when you look at it and you say

482
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: that the transcript does not support impeachment, they go, well,

483
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: but what about all this other stuff that also kind

484
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: of happened that we don't like and buzzword buzzword and

485
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: the and the in transcripts, not even a direct transcript.

486
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean, my friends, this is this is actually a

487
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: conspiracy level stuff. Now they've asked the people that heard

488
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: the phone call, is this transcript representative? You know? Was

489
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: there was there anything did you remember being said that

490
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: was left off of the transcript that would alter the meaning?

491
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: And the answers No, answers, No, there's nothing that was

492
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: like left off that would have all you know? So

493
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: why do we keep hearing I keep bearing this from journalists?

494
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: Oh it's not an exact transcript. Oh okay, this would

495
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: be like saying, you know, yeah, the the defendant here

496
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: signed a sworn confession. But there are like at least

497
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: two or three misspellings in this confession, So therefore it

498
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: is an inaccurate document, isn't it because there are misspellings,

499
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: and misspellings are inaccurate. So now I can go around

500
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: reporting on the inaccurate document that this individual signed for

501
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: his confession, the inaccurate confession. That's how propaganda works, you see,

502
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: takeout contexts, take out nuance, take out understanding that we

503
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: all have of the world, the English language, what words mean,

504
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: and then just oh, of course the transcript is not verbatim.

505
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: Maybe that's thegether way, that the transcript is not verbatim. Okay,

506
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: they might have left out an the or you know

507
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: here or there. Does anyone really think there's there's not

508
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: some other allegation that is not can you know that?

509
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: The whole crux of the case is that the President said, hey,

510
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: can you you know, find out some answers about the

511
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen CrowdStrike thing and also look into the Biden

512
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: situation with with Barisma, because you know, I heard bad

513
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: stuff was going on there. That's it. That was the

514
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 1: you know, unless they're going to allege that there's some

515
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: and they're already saying it was a quick broke quote.

516
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 1: So why Why would the specific verbiage make any difference

517
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: in the context if they've said that it's already there.

518
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: It's just garbage, friends, it's garbage, but it's it's gonna

519
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: get so gross this week. I'm here to prepare you

520
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: for this. What do you for those of you that

521
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: care to follow some of this political stuff that's going

522
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: on in DC. I mean I think that I mean,

523
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: there's a presidency at stakes, so it's hard to ignore

524
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: it entirely. But I think most of the American people

525
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: look at this and just say, I mean, you got

526
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me. I mean, this is really

527
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: what we're gonna be spending our time doing. This is is

528
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: really the way that the media is gonna focus all

529
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: there the answers. Yes, that is how they're going to

530
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: focus all their energy. But it's going to get It's

531
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: going to get quite quite nasty, that much is for sure.

532
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm the one to raise the issue from my phone

533
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: call with the God sol in the day before where

534
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: he described some some type of something that Ukraine handed

535
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: do before President Trump would release the funding. And when

536
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: I brought up that scenario, President Trump immediately and I've

537
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: described as adamantly and family denied it. And yet here

538
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: we are, we're going to be told that the facts

539
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: aren't the facts, that the president clearly violated the law.

540
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: They won't tell us what the laws that has been violated,

541
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: but they know there's a there, No, there's a crime

542
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: in there somewhere. That's the way they've always approached us president.

543
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: We know he's a criminal, we just can't tell you

544
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: what law he's broken. Yet that's an interesting approach, very

545
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: very Soviet in feel, and I suppose that shouldn't be

546
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: surprising given the way that the left is embracing the

547
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: suppression of common knowledge and public information like the whistleblower's name.

548
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 1: That YouTube is taking down videos now with that is stunning.

549
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: I've also heard that Facebook perhaps is I can't remember

550
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: which platforms now are okay and which ones aren't with it,

551
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: but there are definitely some social media platforms where you

552
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: cannot even if you're referring to someone else's reporting. I mean,

553
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: it really is Voldemort from the Harry Potter series, which

554
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: I haven't read, and I think people reference too much

555
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: in pop culture, particularly in the media. But you know,

556
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: it's he who shall not be named, and the fact

557
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: of the matter is that he has been named, and

558
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: we do have the public does have a right to know,

559
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: an interest in knowing exactly what is going on here,

560
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: and journalists have abandoned their posts. Journalists have decided that

561
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what the damage is that's done to

562
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: the country in this process, because the president's such a

563
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: bad man that even if they have to lie, cheat

564
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: and steel to get him out office, they'll be doing

565
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: their patriotic duty in the process. Oh I mentioned Nicki

566
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: Haley before I wanted to get back to this. She

567
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: talked about some of the people around the president who

568
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: are not helpful to him, and she said John Kelley

569
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: and Rex Tillerson, both of them. She does not have

570
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: a nice words to say about Rex Tillerson, which is unsurprising.

571
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: Here's what she said though, about undermining a president played

572
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: twenty four. Instead of saying that to me, they should

573
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: have been saying that to the president, not asking me

574
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: to join them on their sidebar plan. It should have

575
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: been go tell the president what your differences are and

576
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: quit if you don't like what he's doing. But to

577
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: undermine a present he's really a very dangerous thing, and

578
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: it goes against the Constitution, and it goes against what

579
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: the American people want, and it was offensive. There are

580
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: people all across the government, it seems, who think that

581
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 1: the president is not really the president, including very senior

582
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: officials who worked for him. I just am waiting for

583
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: the president to make one decision. I hear all the

584
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: time about how these people need to Oh, he's he's

585
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: so scary and terrible. Anything we have to do to

586
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: stop I just need one instance of the president making

587
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: a decision that is a catastrophically bad decision. One decision,

588
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: I'd like one. They said that about the trade war,

589
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: they were wrong. They said that about Syria, they were wrong.

590
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: They've said that about tax cuts that I mean good

591
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: on the list. They've said that about trying to secure

592
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: the border, about building a wall, they were wrong. Where

593
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: is this catastrophically bad decision making except in the personnelity

594
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: puts around him who tell us that he's such a

595
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: bad decision making. The whistle blower and the president's right

596
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: to zent a defense. That is the piece by my

597
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: man Andy McCarthy, who is of course at Nashal Review

598
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: also Fox News contributor. He joins us now to tell

599
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: us what's going on? Andy? How are you doing, my friend?

600
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Buck, how are you? I'm good? All right,

601
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: So let let's get into this because I've been talking

602
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: about this for a while. There's there's a concept here

603
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: of the right to confront your accuser, and then there's

604
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: the actual specific law of when you have a legal

605
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: right to confront the accuser. Can you just kind of

606
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: walk us through here the differentiation between, you know, whether

607
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: the whistleblower, as a function of law, needs to test

608
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: five versus whether in a fair process set up of

609
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: the Congress, the whistleblower would in fact testify. Yeah, I

610
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: think the latter, you could say, for sure, Bucket a

611
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: fair process, he could be called to testify. This so

612
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: much legal confusion about all this, and people are throwing

613
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: a lot of half baked ideas around, not least the

614
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: idea of whistleblower itself. I've tried to point out that

615
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: this fellow who's been identified elsewhere, if that is the

616
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: guy we're talking about, he's been called a whistleblower, and

617
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: maybe in some sort of descriptive, non legal sense, he's

618
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,479
Speaker 1: a whistleblower like a common usage sense of that term,

619
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: but under the only sense that matters, the statutory sense.

620
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: He's not a whistleblower because the statute that they're relying

621
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: on relates to intelligence activities that are under the jurisdiction

622
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: of the Director of National Intelligence. This guy is not

623
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: reporting on intelligence activity. He's reporting on the president's activities,

624
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: specifically the conduct of foreign policy with a counterpart in Ukraine,

625
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: a foreign national or a foreign government. That is not

626
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: what's covered in that statute. So he's not a whistleblower,

627
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: even though the Trump intelligence community decided to treat him

628
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: as one in an abundance of caution. So he doesn't

629
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: even qualify for whistleblower status and under the law, and

630
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: even if he did, the whistleblower protections that would be

631
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: afforded to him would be against reprisals. Other than the

632
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: Inspector General of the intelligence community. No one is required

633
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: to give the whistleblower anonymity, and even the Inspector General

634
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: is not required to give it to him under all circumstances.

635
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: For example, if you will refer a matter to a

636
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: prosecutor for trial, the expectation is that the whistleblower could

637
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 1: become a witness, where he would have to be public.

638
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: So you know, the whole idea of him being a

639
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: whistleblower and entitled to anonymity is bogus. And then we

640
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: get to this whole business of you know, confrontation clause

641
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: and should he be required to testify? The confrontation clause

642
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: only gives a defendant in a criminal prosecution, and impeachment

643
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: is not a criminal prosecution. But even if it applied,

644
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: you would only get the right to confront the witnesses

645
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: that the prosecutor chooses to call in the trial. So

646
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: if you analogize the Democrats to a prosecutor in a

647
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: criminal case, if they don't call the witness, the whistleblower

648
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: so called, as a witness, then you wouldn't have a

649
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: Sixth Amendment confrontation clause right to call him or to

650
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: cross examine him at the trial. And finally, that's why

651
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: I've argued that what they should be talking about here

652
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: is not the president's confrontation rights. It's his right to

653
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: present a defense, and in any proceeding that's not a

654
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: kangaroo court, you always get that is the president being

655
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: afforded any right to a defense. From what you're seeing

656
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: so far, not at this stage. And that's because I

657
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: think Bogus Lee the Democrats are equating, at least when

658
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: it's convenient to them to do it. They are equating

659
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: this phase, this intelligence committee phase run by Adam Schiff,

660
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 1: of their investigation. They're equating that to a grand jury. Now,

661
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: in a grand jury proceeding, the prosecutor is not required

662
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: to present exculpatory evidence to the grand jury, because the

663
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: only thing that grand jury has did or decide is

664
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: the limited question of whether there's probable cause that a

665
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 1: crime got committed, such that the prosecutor should be able

666
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: to get an indictment, and then you bring the case

667
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: to a trial court, where the defendant would get to

668
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: present his defense and have all those rights, etc. The

669
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: reason I say that Schiff is only doing that grand

670
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: jury analogy when it's convenient for him is that the

671
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: tradeoff for prosecutors is, yes, in the grand jury you

672
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: get to give the grand jury is only your version

673
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: of events, and you can muzzle the defense's version of events,

674
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: but it's all got to be done in secret so

675
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: that you don't prejudice the defendant. And what Schiff is

676
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: trying to do here is have the best of both worlds.

677
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: It's a leaky grand jury, right. He wants to exactly right.

678
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: He wants to muzzle the exculpatory evidence, muzzle the president's defense,

679
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: but he wants to take what he thinks of the

680
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: best witnesses to him and go public with it. Which

681
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: is why I think that people who are describing this

682
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: as a show trial are exactly right about that. Now,

683
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: this point that was made, I don't know if you

684
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: saw it on the view Andy, that it could be

685
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: a crime to speak the name of the alleged whistleblower.

686
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: How do people with legal degrees say this stuff on TV?

687
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: I just want to know. Well, I don't know. I mean,

688
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 1: I spent twenty years in courtrooms with people with legal

689
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: degree saying kinds of crazy stuff. I gotta tell you.

690
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes that comes with the territory. But I find though

691
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: that when they're talking on television what went on in

692
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: the courtroom seems modestum. That is just, you know, it's nonsense.

693
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: There's no legal prescription against mentioning the whistle blower. And

694
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: in fact, if the whistle blower was blowing a whistle

695
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 1: on a Democrat, the media would not only report the name,

696
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: they would lecture you about the public's right to know

697
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: and how that takes precedence of and needs to secrecy

698
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So it always with these guys

699
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: depends on whose ox is being bored. So now you

700
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: know it's a Republican president. So the whistle blower is,

701
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, one of humanity's great hero their their situational

702
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: ethics are highly flexible, acrobatic. Even I would say, I

703
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: would ask Andy, what are you expecting this week now

704
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: that the stuff's coming out in the open? Give us

705
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: your your preview where you think, you know, where are

706
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: they going to take this space and everything that that

707
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: shift and the Democrats have been doing so far. And

708
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: also what do you think Republicans response should be in

709
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: the Congress? Yeah, I think this part for the Democrats

710
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: standpoint book that this three or four days of hearings,

711
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: whatever it's going to be this week, is going to

712
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: be pretty scripted. They've picked out the handful of witnesses

713
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: that they think are best for them to bruise up

714
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: President Trump. They're essentially going to deny the Republicans the

715
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: right to call witnesses that would put these things in context.

716
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: So what the Republicans want to show is that if

717
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: the President was demanding investigations of the Bidens and investigations

718
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: of corruption, it was because Ukraine has pervasively corrupt. There's

719
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: reason to believe good faith, reason to believe the Bidens

720
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: were engaged in corrupt self dealing. And what the Republicans

721
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 1: also want to show is there's a twenty sixteen election

722
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: component of a Ukraine component in what would be what

723
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: we would think of as the bar Durham investigation into

724
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: the origins of the Trump Russia investigation. What I mean

725
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: by that is there's a lot of reporting that the

726
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: Obama administration leaned on Ukraine to do things like investigate

727
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: Paul Manafort, who was temporarily Trump's campaign chairman. And there's

728
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: also evidence that Ukrainian officials colluded with the Clinton campaign.

729
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: And that's just not me. That's not just me saying

730
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: that a Ukrainian court has found that to be the case.

731
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: So I think the Republicans want to bring all of

732
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: this out in order to place in context exactly what

733
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: President Trump was asking of President Zalinsky of Ukraine, and naturally,

734
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: the Democrats want to keep all of that out and

735
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 1: then suggest that you Trump was simply doing nothing other

736
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: than demanding an investigation of his political rival for potential

737
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: violations of Ukrainian law. And they want to, of course,

738
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: then make the argument that, you know, the federal government,

739
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: the American federal government exists to protect us from foreign regimes.

740
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have a president encouraging a foreign regime to

741
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: investigate an American citizen for violations of Ukrainian law. Now, Andy,

742
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: I want to ask you because because you know Politico,

743
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: for example, reporter this recently, according to Giuliani, Ukrainian officials

744
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: conspired with the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee

745
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: to help boost the Democratic nominee's campaign and damage Trump's candidacy.

746
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: No evidence has emerged to support that idea. That's Politico,

747
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: which was the rival of The Hill where I used

748
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: to work for full disclosure right. And then you go

749
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: back to January of twenty seventeen, also in Politico, not

750
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: retracted or amended the following Ukrainian Africa to sabotage Trump backfire.

751
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: keV officials are scrambling to make amends with the President

752
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: elect after quietly working to boost Clinton. And it goes

753
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: on to talk about how Ukrainian officials tried to help

754
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness

755
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump

756
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: aid in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter,

757
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: only to back away after the election. They helped Clinton's

758
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: allies research damaging information on Trump at his advisors, according

759
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: to Politico, So which Politico do we believe? Andy? And

760
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: a more serious question is this denied? Is this not

761
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: what happened? Because if this is what happened, then everybody

762
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: that's running around screaming treason for Trump asking a country

763
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: to investigate what seemed to me to be quite a

764
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: corrupt arrangement needs to explain why it was okay for

765
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: the Obama administration to do that to try to help

766
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: Hillary during the election. Yeah, Buck, I think what we

767
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: need to watch very carefully here is if you listen

768
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: to the thing that Adam Schiff says and the way

769
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: they are being reported in the media. What he's now

770
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: saying is that what Trump was looking for was an

771
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 1: investigation into what he calls a refuted conspiracy theory about

772
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: Ukraine being connected somehow to CrowdStrike, which is the outfit

773
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 1: that looked at the server exactly right. So what Schiff

774
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: is trying to do is miniaturize this into saying what

775
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: Trump was asking for was an investigation into whether the

776
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: Ukrainians had something to do with the DNC server, And

777
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:47,439
Speaker 1: that may be a conspiracy theory that doesn't have much

778
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: in the way of legs, but the story of Ukraine's

779
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: connection to the Obama administration's investigation of the Trump campaign

780
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen has a lot more to it than

781
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: the server and crab strike. So I think what we

782
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: should do is like sort of carefully watch Shift and

783
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: watch the way he is parsing that end of it,

784
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: because you know, obviously, again there is a whole angle

785
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: involving the Obama administration leaning on the Ukrainians to investigate Manafort,

786
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: and a Ukrainian legislator and the head of the Ukrainian

787
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: so called anti corruption police leaking information to the media

788
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 1: that was harmful to Maniford with the intention of trying

789
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: to help the Clinton campaign. I mean, that's that's out there,

790
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: and that's the reason the Republicans have asked for these

791
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 1: witnesses that are connected to those things is precisely because

792
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: they want to put all that out in public and

793
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: try to put the president's comments in contact. So there

794
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: is there is a serious possibility here based on reporting

795
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: from news organizations that didn't realize then that this would

796
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 1: be helpful to Republicans, perhaps now that there was outreach

797
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: from the Obama administration to go after a Trump campaign,

798
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: Trump campaign chairman at the time, right, which would certainly

799
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,720
Speaker 1: look a lot like asking for foreign interference in an election.

800
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: Whether or not Manta Fort was dirty, Yeah, and Buck,

801
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: I would underscore a Ukrainian court has found that the

802
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 1: Ukrainian legislator and the head of the anti corruption police

803
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 1: colluded with an American campaign named with a Clinton campaign

804
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,479
Speaker 1: in order to interfere in the American election. They've they've

805
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: found that, So you know, this is not something we're

806
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: pulling out of the sky. And what's going on in

807
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: real quick before let you go back to the rest

808
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: of your life. What's going on here with the delayed

809
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: report on Fi's abuse. Now I'm hearing you know, I

810
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: heard it was I heard it was going to be Halloween,

811
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: and I heard it was going to before Thanksgiving. Now

812
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 1: it's like I'm here and hopefully before the next election. Practically, well,

813
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 1: what's going on any ideas well? I think I still

814
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: think it's going to be. I hope it's before Thanksgiving,

815
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: but I think it'll be. It'll be reasonably soon. And

816
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 1: I think buck that all that's going on here. I've

817
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: heard some theories that are out there that, you know,

818
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: maybe he's dragging his feet because he doesn't want to

819
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: step on whatever Dorham is doing. That's the latest theory.

820
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 1: My own theory for what it's worth is that Horowitz

821
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: is indicated to Congress into the Justice Department, that he's done,

822
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: and that they are in the final rushes of putting

823
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: the report out. And my sense of it is that

824
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: the sheer bulk of this report, remember the Clinton emails

825
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: one was like five or six hundred pages. This is

826
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: going to be a bigger report than that, maybe hundreds

827
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: of pages longer. And they have to do a line

828
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: by line with every intelligence agency that has equity in

829
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: terms of anything that's designated as classified information, and Bar's

830
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: got to do a view about, you know, what stays

831
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: classified and what gets unclassified. And I just think that

832
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 1: that's a complicated process to get through with a document

833
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: that's going to turn out to be very, very long,

834
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: and the real deal, by the way, I've been reading

835
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: about him, and it seems like he is the guy

836
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: that we would want looking into this. You're talking Durham, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

837
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: Durham's a terrific guy. He's an excellent prosecutor. I happen

838
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: to know him personally. I haven't worked with him, but

839
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: I know him and think very well of him. Judge Mukasey,

840
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: the former age of the Bush administration, who did not

841
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: only work with him but picked him to do the

842
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: investigation involving the CIA interrogations, thinks the world of him,

843
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: which goes a long way in my book. But he's

844
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: done these kinds of investigations buck for administrations of both parties,

845
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:58,919
Speaker 1: going back to the Clinton administration, and everybody says that,

846
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's a very scrupulous guy who you won't

847
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: hear from because he doesn't talk to the media and

848
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: he puts his nose to the grindstone and gets a

849
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: job done. He's not fast, if that's what people are

850
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 1: looking for, that are going to get that, but he's

851
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: thorough all right. Andy McCarthy, everybody check out his latest

852
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: on nationalview dot com, The Whistleblower and the President's right

853
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: to present a defense, and he thanks so much for

854
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 1: your time. We'll talk to you soon. My pleasure. But

855
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 1: and he's the best, isn't he. It's always so fun

856
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,439
Speaker 1: to have Andy McCarthy on. As good as any legal

857
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: endless you'll find anywhere, and honest about it all. The

858
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: poll that I mentioned before about how Democrats are crazy,

859
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: it's a real poll. Axio supported on it today. Here's

860
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: what he got. More than seventy percent of Democrats say

861
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: politics is making them increasingly angry about America, leaving them

862
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: feeling like strangers in their own land. According to a

863
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 1: Axios on HBO pole the big picture, Americans a whole

864
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: are just playing mad and feeling like strangers their own land.

865
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: Republicans fifty seven percent are angry, compared to seventy four

866
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: percent of Democrats. Seventy one percent of Democrats say they

867
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 1: feel like a strand of their own win folks. Seven

868
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: out of ten people in this survey who are Democrats

869
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: are saying, by the way, five out of ten republican.

870
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: But you know there's always gonna be some angry people.

871
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: Life is frustrating and difficult. But seven out of ten Democrats,

872
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: according to this poll, are angry right now because of politics,

873
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: specifically because of politics. So when I tell you that

874
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: there's a mass delusion, there's a mass hysteria. The Democrats

875
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: have lost it. The numbers back me up. I'm not

876
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: just pulling this stuff out of nowhere. The numbers suggest

877
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is true. Because here's the thing, it

878
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: is true. I think we understand that Democrats have gone crazy.

879
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: They have been broken in the Trump era and have

880
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 1: no interest in trying to set things right in any

881
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: way other that there were rather in any way that

882
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: does not involve the removal of his president from office

883
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: and from power. That that much is very clear at

884
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: this point in time. The Danka kids, all they want

885
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: to do is become Americans. They came here when they

886
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 1: were little. They weren't they didn't cross the border themselves,

887
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: their parents brought them. And so many of them are

888
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: in our armed forces. So many of them are going

889
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: to college and trying to make a good life for themselves.

890
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: There's broad consensus Democrats, Independence, Republicans that these DACA ought

891
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 1: to pass, and I hope the courts will uphold that. Oh,

892
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: my friends, so much dishonesty around the immigration debate. It's

893
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: one of the most difficult conversations to have with liberals

894
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: these days because they've just been told so much that

895
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: is not true, and they are so insistent on it

896
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: being true. We have a couple of very important dynamics happening,

897
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: or immigration issues I should say, occurred right right now.

898
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: I want us to do with the border, which I'll

899
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: get into in a moment, and the reasonably I shouldn't

900
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: say the securing of the border, but the more effective

901
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: efforts at securing the border compared to where we were

902
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: some months ago. Well, first I want to talk about

903
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: DACA Deferred Action for childhood arrivals. This is going to

904
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: get heard by the Supreme Court, I believe tomorrow, and

905
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: there should be a decision made by the court sometime

906
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: in June of twenty twenty. So we're not going to

907
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: get a final ruling on this for a while. But

908
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: there are some very important issues at stake here, and

909
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: every news report you read about this is just going

910
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: to be kids who are great, who are aspiring for

911
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: the American dream, who they're all valedictorians, they all want

912
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: to serve the military. All they do is just be

913
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: amazing all the time. And big, bad, mean Republicans are

914
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: supporting the administration, which is saying that the DACA program

915
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: needs to end. There is before I get into DACA itself,

916
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: because this is what they're going to skip pass right away.

917
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: There's a rule of law issue that is very much

918
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,720
Speaker 1: at stake here, and that is the really the prime issue,

919
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: the primary concern that I have about this, because the

920
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: Obama administration very explicitly, you will remember this, they said

921
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 1: that they wanted comprehensive immigration reform. President Obama re upon

922
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: his power and as the chief executive of the United

923
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: States government, he said, as an executive order to just

924
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: declare that there would no longer be enforcement of duly

925
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: pass congressionist congressional statutes about illegal act illegal presence in

926
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: America under immigration law. President Obama just said, look, Congress

927
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: isn't doing what I want Congress to do, So I'm

928
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: just going to do what I want to do. And

929
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: I don't care about that what message that sends. I

930
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: don't care about the rule of law and the effects

931
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 1: on the rule of law as a result of this.

932
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 1: So Obama just said, you know, we will do this

933
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: thing where you don't depoor dreamers. He made a decision

934
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: as commander in chief, as the president of the United

935
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: States at the time President Trump comes into office and says, Okay,

936
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: put aside for a moment. Put aside for a moment.

937
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: Whether you like the idea of DACA or not, the

938
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 1: Trump administration is arguing something very straightforward here, what are

939
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: what one president can do via executive authority can be well,

940
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's one policy issue can be undone via

941
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: executive authority, especially because this the entirety of the DACA

942
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: argument as it was offered up at the time, was

943
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: that it was just a prosecutorial prioritization maneuver that also

944
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: allowed them to allow the people on aer DOCA buy

945
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: executive fiat. This was just conjured out of thin air.

946
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: To work, they register, they're allowed to work and a

947
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,720
Speaker 1: lot of the United States, and they have to renew

948
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: their DOCTA protection. So it created this process where you

949
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: will to stand the country even though they're actually in

950
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: the country illegally. And the Trump administration came in and said, okay, well,

951
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: we don't want to do this because this is an

952
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: extra league or illegal program. This was not passed by Congress.

953
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: This is not the way it's supposed to be. And

954
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 1: at a minimum, you would think that the Trump administration

955
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: would have the same discretion to not prosecute. The Trump

956
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: administration would have the have that discretion and be in

957
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: a position to prosecute or in this sense remove the

958
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: prohibition on prosecution. That's all, by the way. I don't

959
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: think that people even if the DOCCA program ended, I

960
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: think that they'd be a very low prioritization for deportation anyway.

961
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: And I do think that this is why there's such

962
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: a focus on DOCA, that these are the people who

963
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: are the they have the most sympathetic cases for being

964
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: in the country illegally. But then there should also be

965
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: an understanding, well, if we're not going to just enforce

966
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: the law as is, there should be a quid pro quo.

967
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: Dare I say that DOCA if the Republicans were to

968
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: go along with DOCA for the Democrats, but if it

969
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: meant real, meaningful border security and reform of immigration laws,

970
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: that that's a bargaining chip that could be used instead.

971
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: What happened was at court no surprise. I'm sure it

972
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: was an Obama point deal though I don't know that,

973
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: but I'm guessing it was an Obama pointee with the

974
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: ruling said sorry, under the administrative Procedure Act. This is

975
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: arbitrary and capricious. Therefore, the president cannot undo what a

976
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: president before him did because the judge says so. Now,

977
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: there are some who would argue that that this isn't

978
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: even really in the purview of a federal judge to review.

979
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: That's one argument. Then there's also how is it possible that,

980
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, can one president not end the war that

981
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: another president starts under the Administrative Procedure Act. I mean,

982
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: this is when you start to see a lawlessness from

983
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: these institutions that are supposed to be upholding the rule

984
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: of law. This is where you see an abandoning of

985
00:58:55,640 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: principle and of following legal text and its replacement with

986
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: the whims of people who happen to be on the judiciary.

987
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: It's absurd. Here you had the founder of scotus blog

988
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: tweeted this out. I thought this was great. Scotus blog

989
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: is a Supreme Court blog. All they do is cover

990
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: Supreme Court stuff. He wrote, this is an enormously important,

991
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: stupid case. Enormously important for the individuals involved in immigration policy,

992
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: but stupid because if Barack Obama can create the program real,

993
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: Donald Trump can withdraw it. Yeah, this is very straightforward.

994
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: This is not complicated stuff. What one president can decide

995
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: to do, another president can decide not to do if

996
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: it is within presidential discretion. Right, If one person is

997
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: allowed to walk into a store and say I want

998
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: to buy, you know, strawberry ice cream or chocolate ice cream,

999
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go at the you know, or vanilla, I'm

1000
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna go at strawberry, another person can walk into the

1001
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: store if they have that same consumer discretion and say

1002
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get the you know, the Rocky Road ice

1003
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: cream or the strawberry or whatever it is. Right, you

1004
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: have a problem if the same choice cannot be made

1005
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: by the same people in the same given the same

1006
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: authority under the law. So what's the answer here? Like, oh,

1007
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: hashtag resistance. Judge doesn't like it. Taking away DOCTA status

1008
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: is mean administrative procedure Act. You've got to be kidding me.

1009
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: But what that means is that this is just because

1010
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: this is because I say so in legal ease from

1011
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: a judge. Why can't you do this? Yeah, violation the

1012
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: administrant because there's not enough notice here under come on,

1013
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: this is entirely nonsensical stuff, but there are very major

1014
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: there are major implications here, major implications for rule of law.

1015
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: And it's also just a reminder of the length the

1016
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: judiciary has been willing to go to in order to

1017
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: undermine President Trump and in the process, undermine the very

1018
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: federal judiciary itself. The lengths have been extreme. And then

1019
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: you have just the border overall. Right now, you have

1020
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: a seventy five percent decrease in illegal border crossings since May,

1021
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: and this is attributable to Trump administration policies. The Trump

1022
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: administration has taken some important steps that have been very

1023
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: helpful in trying to stop this situation from continuing on.

1024
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: You had one hundred and thirty just just to give

1025
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: you some numbers of what's going on the border, one

1026
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two thousand arrests at our southern border

1027
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: back in May. Those are illegal crossings. People caught. Thirty

1028
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 1: two thousand are caught. How many got a cross about that?

1029
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 1: And then also it's down to thirty six thousand in October.

1030
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: What are some of the moves. Let's take a little

1031
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: stock here. Because I was ry much involved in trying

1032
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: to publicize what was going on at the border. I

1033
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: spend time at a couple of border sectors with border patrol,

1034
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: trying to get the word out, a lot of appearances

1035
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 1: on Tucker carl Carlston's show, wrote a couple of articles

1036
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: in The Hill dot com. One of them actually got

1037
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: shared by the official Trump and White House Twitter accounts

1038
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: about the scams going on at our southern border with

1039
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: the immigration So what has changed? What has been the

1040
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: shift here? We have a few things. One, Mexico, at

1041
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: the behest of the Trump administration, has decided to step

1042
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: up immigration enforcement. So the Mexican government, with pressure from

1043
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, has said that there has actually put

1044
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: more of its own national Guard troops at its border

1045
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: with Central American countries and then stopped the inflow into Mexico,

1046
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: which is obviously very helpful because the inflow of Mexico

1047
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: becomes the inflow of the United States. Mexico is also

1048
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: agreed to have fifty five thousand migrants remain in Mexico.

1049
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: And guess what turns out that people who are told

1050
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 1: you can apply for ASSY in the United States, but

1051
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: you have to wait in Mexico while you do it,

1052
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: some of that are going all the way back to

1053
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: Central America. Now, there are two ways that this will

1054
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: be described the media. Well, first of all, this and

1055
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: that program is facing legal challenges. So you have all

1056
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: the different open borders advocates, the Democrat Party of course

1057
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: leading the charge, all these different open borders advocates who

1058
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, no, you can't work out. The United

1059
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: States does not have the sovereign right to work out

1060
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: in agreement with Mexico where they keep asylum seekers in

1061
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: Mexico waiting for their day in court in the United States.

1062
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: They want to fight that because we all understand what

1063
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: the incentive is here, the incentive all along will show

1064
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: up at the southern border, claim that you're fleeing gang violence,

1065
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: read practically from a script about what you have to

1066
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: say to get into the country, to pass that first

1067
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: credible fear test. And then once in the United States,

1068
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: you're good. Yeah, you're home free. Don't worry about it.

1069
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: You're out of custody. They're never They're not gonna find

1070
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: you again. You're not going to show up for your hearing.

1071
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: If you do show up, you gotta show up a

1072
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 1: few times before they can even take any action against you.

1073
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 1: You can fight against your actual extradition even when you

1074
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: lose your asylum appeal. I mean, it's impossible. You're gonna

1075
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: be good. It's all you gotta do is get into

1076
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: the country and get out of attention, and you're good

1077
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: to go. And that was the whole game. Turns out,

1078
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: when people are told, hey, guess what you gotta wait

1079
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: in Mexico, they go, oh, the scam isn't gonna work anymore.

1080
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: Got to go back to Central America. Better to go

1081
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,959
Speaker 1: back to the country that they, many of whom would

1082
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: claim was a threat to their very lives, than to

1083
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: just wait a few months maybe in Mexico for their asylum.

1084
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: Hearing that seems to be a strange choice, although it's

1085
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: not a strange choice if you aren't really fleeing gang violence.

1086
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 1: You're just an economic migrant and you were trying to

1087
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: find a way to game the system to get into America,

1088
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: which is what a vast majority of these Central American

1089
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 1: migrants would doing, as told to me by border patrol,

1090
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: and as I was able to find when we would

1091
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: hear the in some cases the actual arrests going on

1092
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: of these Central American migrants when they're telling the stories

1093
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: two border patrol when I was there, So that's another thing.

1094
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: And then They have instituted a policy where if you

1095
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: pass through Mexico and don't first try to get asylum

1096
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 1: in Mexico if you're from Central America, then you cannot

1097
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: claim a sign the United States. Essentially, you cannot go

1098
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: jurisdiction shopping or nation state shopping as an assy lee

1099
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: if you're really claiming asylum, if you're under mortal threat,

1100
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: if you're oppressed and fleeing tyranny, the first country that

1101
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: isn't going to tyrannize and threaten you is the one

1102
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: that you should be asking for asylum, and you don't.

1103
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: You don't get to say, well, I just wanted to

1104
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: I want the best, richest, biggest welfare benefit country in

1105
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: the Western hemisphere. You're not allowed to do that anymore

1106
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,439
Speaker 1: to the Trump administration. Of course, the Libs are very

1107
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: upset about about that. And then one other thing here

1108
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 1: not getting a lot of attention. I remember there's some

1109
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 1: so called, well, I don't know, conservatives, some of them

1110
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: are never Trumpers. We're very upset about the declaration of

1111
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: a state of emergency that Trump made. Who are all

1112
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: of our civil rights being trampled on because of the

1113
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Trump declaration of emergency? Well, it turns out that by

1114
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: the end of twenty twenty, the Trump administration is hoping

1115
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: to have constructed four hundred and fifty miles because of

1116
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: the declaration of emergency and the moving of funds within

1117
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: the federal budget to the border construction border wall construction,

1118
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: they're hoping to have four hundred and fifty miles of

1119
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: border wall by the end of twenty twenty. If Trump

1120
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: gets close to five hundred miles of new wall, not

1121
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: just upgraded fence, new fence, new wall, whatever we're calling it,

1122
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 1: those build a wall chants are going to be very

1123
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: loud going into what I think will be his reelection.

1124
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: People said he would never do it, never happened, can't happen. Well,

1125
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 1: if they really are are on track, if this is correct,

1126
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: this is reporting the Wall Street Journal to put up

1127
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty miles a wall by the end

1128
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: of this year, by the end of next year, I

1129
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: think you'd have to consider that a promise kept, or

1130
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 1: at least close to it. Promise kept it, promise in

1131
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: progress on something that critics of the Trump administration we're

1132
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: saying along absolutely impossible. There's no way that he'll be

1133
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: able to pull that off, so we will continue to

1134
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: watch the border and the administration's response to it. I'm

1135
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: worried that we're running out of time. Every time the

1136
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 1: scientists reanalyze the data, it's worse than they thought. So

1137
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: when they thought we had this much time to do something,

1138
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: it turns out when they reanalyze the data, it's this

1139
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: much time, and that it's this much time. We've got

1140
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: to be moving on every front. This is our only planet,

1141
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: and I think of the responsibility that we have to

1142
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: future generations. We didn't We didn't inherit this earth from

1143
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: our grandparents. We're borrowing it from our grandchildren, and we

1144
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: have a responsibility to believe them the earth that is sustainable,

1145
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: an earth that will support life. And I don't know

1146
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:24,759
Speaker 1: about you, but I refuse and reject and absolutely will

1147
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: not accept the choice of the choice. Sorry, I refuse

1148
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: to accept the choice of leaving a planet that is

1149
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: diminished and dying to the next generation. I refuse to

1150
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 1: choose that. And because we refuse to choose that, then

1151
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: we what we have no choice to do is to

1152
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: act to do exactly what they say. What Warren says,

1153
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: what AOC says, that's your There's no choice here. You

1154
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: must do what they say because the planet is at stake.

1155
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: These people are nuts, folks. This is crazy. This is crazy.

1156
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: What's amazing is when you speak to people who think

1157
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: they're very sophisticated, very very educated, wealthy area died across

1158
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: the country and the liberal enclaves, they look at you

1159
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 1: like your nuts if you don't think the world is

1160
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: going to end in ten years unless we listen to

1161
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 1: complete and income poops in the Democratic Party who don't

1162
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: know a thing about a thing, and let them run

1163
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: the entire economy and let them transform the global economy

1164
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: without our basic understanding of how economics works. And just

1165
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: how much crazy er can it get? How much more

1166
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 1: bonkers can the Democratic Party be before there is some

1167
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 1: kind of reckoning, some kind of awakening about what is

1168
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,799
Speaker 1: really going on? How to take down a charter school.

1169
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 1: This is a story that I find, I find and

1170
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: if you reating fascinating and well worth it. For those

1171
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: of you that want to, we'll put the story up.

1172
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: It's from the Atlantic dot Com. John McCord is the

1173
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: author of the piece, and it tells a story, a

1174
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: story that people should know because it deals very much

1175
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 1: with social justice rhetoric. And wokeness and whiteness and all

1176
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: these different concepts that are constantly being used and leveraged

1177
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: and alleged on the left, depending on what we're talking about.

1178
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 1: There's a charter school in Brooklyn called Ascend. In fact,

1179
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: it's now a network of fifteen schools, but it was

1180
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:51,600
Speaker 1: founded ten years ago by a man named Stephen Wilson.

1181
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: And Stephen Wilson who you would think would be celebrated

1182
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: by the left because as he founded a charter school

1183
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: that has done what so many public schools across the

1184
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 1: country cannot figure out how to do, which is to

1185
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: take young, predominantly minority, Black and Latino children who are

1186
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 1: from underprivileged backgrounds and make them exceptional students doing well,

1187
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: getting good grades, beating the national or the estate average

1188
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: on the test scores success like Success Academy here in

1189
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: New York another place that's been made controversial because the

1190
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:35,559
Speaker 1: left really doesn't like success that goes outside the public

1191
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: school model, because public school is actually a form of

1192
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: socialism and central planning runs it and it is it

1193
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 1: is a mediocrity factory and a jobs program. I mean,

1194
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: that's what the national level public school system is. And

1195
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 1: to call it a mediocrity factory might be generous, probably

1196
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: is very generous. Actually, a charter schools sometimes do what

1197
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 1: we're told is so hard to do, which is to

1198
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: find a way to inspire and promote learning among underprivileged

1199
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 1: minority children. You would think the left, which talks all

1200
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: the time about diversity and inclusion and equity and multiculturalism,

1201
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: You would think the left would say, oh my gosh,

1202
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 1: this is great. How do we how can we do this,

1203
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 1: how can we find a way to replicate this success?

1204
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: But no, they want to shut it down. They want

1205
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: to shut down these charter schools when they can. They

1206
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: want to make sure that people don't believe that these

1207
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: different philosophies when it comes education, are more effective than

1208
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 1: the one size fits all approach of the bland intellectual

1209
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 1: gruel that has served up to our children courtesy of

1210
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 1: the Department of Education across the country. But this innovative educator,

1211
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: Steven Wilson put up a blog post that I have read.

1212
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: I have read the piece by John McCarter. The blog

1213
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: post from this past summer written by Steve Wilson. They

1214
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: found Stephen Wilson, the founder of Ascend Charter School, and

1215
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:11,759
Speaker 1: then also the change dot org petition from friends of Ascend,

1216
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: they say, asking for this guy to get in trouble.

1217
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 1: By the way, he has been fired or removed from

1218
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: his position by the board of the very charter school

1219
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: system that he founded that was so successful for so

1220
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 1: many young, underprivileged minority children. He's been kicked out. Why

1221
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 1: has he been kicked out? Because he wrote a blog piece,

1222
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 1: the Promise of Intellectual Joy, that is really worth reading,

1223
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: by the way, I mean, it's only about eight pages long,

1224
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: and I was impressed impressed with his willingness to look

1225
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:52,759
Speaker 1: at some of the educational missteps in this country's past,

1226
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 1: and how there has been for now over a hundred years,

1227
01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 1: a debate that has been raging back and forth where

1228
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 1: people in the educational establishment. Now I'm not really talking

1229
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: about university level, really talking about grammar school and high school,

1230
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: but there have been these moments in time when or

1231
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 1: periods of time when the educational establishment was saying, oh,

1232
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 1: let's not we don't need a liberal education. We don't

1233
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: need an education that tries to inspire the mind, promotes

1234
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: a joy and love of learning. Let's just teach people

1235
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: how to keep themselves clean. You know, how to do

1236
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 1: the basics of living day to day, of you know,

1237
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 1: computational arithmetic for buying things in the store. Let's teach

1238
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: them these these basic life skills essentially at the expense

1239
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 1: of teaching them about the life of the mind. And

1240
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 1: that these movements have popped up at different times, and

1241
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,639
Speaker 1: it popped up, for example, in the early twentieth century.

1242
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: This is all this promise of intellectual joy piece written

1243
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: by this esteemed educator that when there was a big

1244
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 1: surge of immigrants into the country, for example, that the

1245
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 1: educational establishment public schools in this country, was pushing for

1246
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 1: effectively dumbing down the teaching so that you're not learning

1247
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: the life of the mind, you're not learning about the

1248
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 1: promise of intellectual joy and trying to give that to

1249
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 1: everyone as a gift for the rest of their lives.

1250
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: You're teaching them how to be cogs in this state machine,

1251
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: how to you know, be able to more or less

1252
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: function day to day in a way that they're not

1253
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: too much of a drain on the state. A tremendously

1254
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:41,640
Speaker 1: condescending approach to education. Now, Stephen Wilson is taking the

1255
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 1: approach that this is wrong, that this should not be done,

1256
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 1: and here's some of how John mcquarter describes this this debate,

1257
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: Wilson's decries how the pushback against traditional education with its

1258
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 1: rote learning and Ltrinell range of perspective, has often entailed

1259
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: the pendulum swing too far in the other direction, toward

1260
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 1: a gauzy student focused approach that de emphasizes the authority

1261
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 1: of the teacher, or most disturbing disturbingly, the learning of facts.

1262
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:18,799
Speaker 1: Wilson's problem is with people such as Rousseau and John Dewey,

1263
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:22,719
Speaker 1: and even Dwight D. Eisenhower, who espoused what Wilson considers

1264
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: anti intellectual ideas about how and what children should learn.

1265
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 1: Wilson observed in his blog post, this is where he

1266
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: gets into trouble, folks. This is where they come after him.

1267
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Wilson observed in his blog post that liberal education is

1268
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:44,719
Speaker 1: under fresh attack, this time as whiteness. The petition states

1269
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: this claim equates a liberal education with whiteness, the very

1270
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: opposite of Wilson's argument. The underlying message here, say the

1271
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: petition writers, is that a liberal education is whiteness. Whiteness

1272
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 1: is therefore intellectual, and any challenged to a liberal education

1273
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: is a challenge to whiteness. So any challenge to whiteness

1274
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 1: is anti intellectual. Even following the rather tortuous logic here,

1275
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: Wilson gives no indication of thinking that all challenges to

1276
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: something as vast as white hegemony qualify as anti intellectualism. Elsewhere,

1277
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: Wilson criticizes the idea that focus on a text is

1278
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: a kind of white supremacy. That's right, my friends, focusing

1279
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 1: on the words in a text when you're teaching literature

1280
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: or English language that is decried in some places in

1281
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:42,439
Speaker 1: the educational system now as white supremacy. The words focus

1282
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:46,639
Speaker 1: on the words, that's white supremacy, oh says who says

1283
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: people in the educational establishment. Quote. That may sound bizarre,

1284
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: but at a conference about white supremacy, culture and education

1285
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: convened by the New York City Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza,

1286
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: attendees were shown a slow explained that white supremacist thinking

1287
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 1: includes quote, worship of the written word and even objectivity

1288
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 1: end quote. Educational conference at the highest level here in

1289
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: the public school system in New York City that is

1290
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: making the claim and instructing other educators to propagate this

1291
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: claim that objectivity and the written word itself can be

1292
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 1: a form of white supremacy. And if you're wondering what

1293
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: the heck is going on, you are not alone. But

1294
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what he says. It doesn't matter what

1295
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 1: he really wrote. The petition quotes Wilson's concern and then

1296
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: with no argumentation whatsoever, flags him as protecting white supremacy

1297
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: culture and a paternalistic orientation toward the work of social

1298
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: justice reform. Now, my friends, here's the real here's the

1299
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 1: real problem. Here's why this guy Wilson had to lose

1300
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 1: his job after doing more for minority children in New

1301
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:15,600
Speaker 1: York City than any of these social justice activists on

1302
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: the change dot org petition. The problem is that he

1303
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: pointed out that there is a movement underway right now,

1304
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 1: as there has been at different times in the past,

1305
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: to teach differently to minority children, to teach in a

1306
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: way that is more culturally sensitive and culturally inclusive. And

1307
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:40,839
Speaker 1: so that means making choices, making distinctions that go away

1308
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: from trying to inspire everybody with the same ideas and

1309
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 1: ideals and great literature and great learning, and teaching differently

1310
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: to minority children in order to give them something that

1311
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 1: they will be more act to take to and to

1312
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: handle well in the classroom. Now they think the social

1313
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: justice left thinks that doing this, teaching differently to minority

1314
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: children in the public school is something that should be

1315
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 1: promoted and celebrated. And that's why they're also attacking a

1316
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: culture of objectivity and words on the page meaning what

1317
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: they mean as a form of whiteness. And this is

1318
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 1: all it's I mean, I have the documents in front

1319
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: of me, this is all in the petition, and that

1320
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:31,639
Speaker 1: this is white, toxic patriarchal masculinity in the classroom. Right.

1321
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, learn read poems from the great poets and

1322
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: read what they say, not reinterpreted, and write your own

1323
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: poem that has the same title, but you know, is

1324
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: more culturally in line with what you wish the poem said.

1325
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: You know, that's anathemaa that's no longer acceptable. And there

1326
01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: have been other times in history when in the public

1327
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: school system in this country people have argued that certain groups, immigrants,

1328
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: the poor, minorities, should be taught differently. And the promise

1329
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 1: of intellectual joy that Wilson is trying to advocate for

1330
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 1: is that all people, all children, have the same intellectual inheritance,

1331
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 1: which is that we should all be striving for greater

1332
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: knowledge and understanding. The roots of a liberal education are

1333
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:25,880
Speaker 1: to give you a joy of learning and understanding and

1334
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,640
Speaker 1: the process of wrestling with thoughts and coming to conclusions,

1335
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: and understanding reason and understanding logic and thinking about your

1336
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 1: place in the world. That is everybody's inheritance, irrespective of

1337
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: skin color, irrespective of socioeconomic background. And the children should

1338
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 1: all be given the best that we can in terms

1339
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:45,640
Speaker 1: of the life of the mind and the promise of

1340
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 1: intellectual joy. But this runs afoul of the social justice

1341
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 1: activists who want to say that this is you know,

1342
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 1: all all the authors that are being taught in this classroom, classroom,

1343
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: it's all old white, old dead white males. It doesn't

1344
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: matter if the book is a time you know, is

1345
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: timeless or incredibly well written, or deals with the historical

1346
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 1: period that all human beings should be you know, very

1347
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 1: familiar with. In fact, if you were really wondering the

1348
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: lengths that this this social justice group was willing to

1349
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 1: go to to get Steven Wilson, founder of the Ascend

1350
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 1: Charter school system fired. Remember that when he specifically quote

1351
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 1: when he specifically cites the great African American writers and

1352
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 1: intellectuals from American history. He cites Martin Luther King, he

1353
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: cites Frederick Douglass, he cites James bald He says, you

1354
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: know this and their timelessness and their role in you know,

1355
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: the ur educational system. People understanding the greatness of their thoughts,

1356
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 1: their writing. His citation of great African American authors and

1357
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: writers of the past, and the need to make sure

1358
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 1: that they are representing the classroom because of their intellectual worth,

1359
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: because of their greatness. That has taken as further evidence

1360
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: of his transgression by the social justice left. I bring

1361
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: you this quote. The author asked, what would they make

1362
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 1: of Frederick Douglas's fourth of July speak, Martin speech, Martin

1363
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: Luther King's letter from Birmingham jail, or James Baldwin's letter

1364
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:21,719
Speaker 1: to his nephew my dungeon shook in the fire next time.

1365
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: The author concludes this point by stating, it is hard

1366
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:29,440
Speaker 1: to imagine a more destructive message to teachers and their students.

1367
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 1: This tool will surely become to see as another wrong

1368
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 1: turn on the way to equal opportunity. These statements, this

1369
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 1: is from the petition to get this guy fired. Okay,

1370
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 1: these statements represent a commitment to protecting white supremacy culture

1371
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:48,799
Speaker 1: and paternalistic orientation toward the work of social justice reform.

1372
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: This is from the petition that got this guy fired

1373
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: from the fifteen school char charter school network that he

1374
01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 1: built from the ground up. This is why I got fired.

1375
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 1: He was citing great African American intellectual and literary heroes

1376
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: from from within America, from within our own, our own tradition,

1377
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: and they viewed that as another transgression. How dare you

1378
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: use great black, great Black authors to make the case

1379
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: that young Black and Latino children have heroes from within

1380
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 1: their own ellectual tradition that are promoting the same virtues

1381
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 1: and greatness and life of the mind that other other

1382
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 1: authors are. And therefore the case that the social justice

1383
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: left that you have to dumb things down, or you

1384
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,719
Speaker 1: have to do a different course, slow, different coursework based

1385
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: more on inclusion and equity and all these other things,

1386
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:49,679
Speaker 1: that that's not necessary. In fact, that's the wrong path.

1387
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 1: This guy's a liberal, folks, It's clear from where he's writing.

1388
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 1: This guy's a liberal leftist. But he understands education. He

1389
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: understands the need to inspire the mind of all people.

1390
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:06,599
Speaker 1: He takes the very basis of what we would think

1391
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 1: is is our need for equality and equity. That we

1392
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: are all God's children, that we were all equivalent in

1393
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: terms of our our moral worth, and we all should

1394
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 1: be treated equally as human beings, and our ability to

1395
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:24,559
Speaker 1: grow and the life of the mind to grow within

1396
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: us should all also be treated equal as human beings.

1397
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: The social justice left does not see it that way.

1398
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 1: They want different approaches based on who different people are.

1399
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: And this guy's fighting down when he points out how

1400
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 1: absurd that is and how it has failed historically, and

1401
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,200
Speaker 1: how there have been other times when people thought that

1402
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 1: they were doing a favor to the new immigrants, they

1403
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 1: thought they were doing a favor to the poor, to

1404
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 1: people in urban ghettos, to people, you know, by changing

1405
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 1: curriculum to make it so that it was you know,

1406
01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 1: less of a challenge, or that it was more represent

1407
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:05,680
Speaker 1: editive of of you know, inclusiveness and diversity in terms

1408
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 1: of the reading list or whatever it may be. And

1409
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:09,560
Speaker 1: that that wasn't a good idea that we've tried to

1410
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: experiments fell in the past. The left has to crush

1411
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:15,599
Speaker 1: this guy. There's one more point here about all of this.

1412
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: I thought was so I mean, this was fascinating stuff,

1413
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll put it up on Facebook dot com.

1414
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 1: So Buck slash buck sex since you guys can see it.

1415
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:25,560
Speaker 1: Chriser Mark, please remember remind me to make sure we

1416
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 1: do that. Mcquarter, who, by the way, is an African

1417
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: American writer who's the guy who wrote the piece breaking

1418
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:35,600
Speaker 1: all this down. Mcquarter says at the end that what

1419
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 1: you see from this petition is that it's not It's

1420
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:43,639
Speaker 1: not that they, the people writing this petition, this change

1421
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 1: our petition to get this guy fired. It's not that

1422
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 1: they think calling someone white supremacists is just a a

1423
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 1: tool that is useful for blunt force politics, which it

1424
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 1: certainly is. But he says that it's clear from reading

1425
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: this petition that they viewed calling someone a white supremacist

1426
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 1: as in and of itself all that is necessary for

1427
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:07,240
Speaker 1: someone's destruction. That essentially they believe the argument, once you've

1428
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:10,640
Speaker 1: called someone a white supremacist, they must be that and

1429
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 1: must be treated as such without any argument, without any

1430
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 1: underpinning justification. Terrifying in the implications. But this is where

1431
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 1: the social justice left has gone, destroying good people who

1432
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:23,840
Speaker 1: do good things for minority communities while pretending to be

1433
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: caring about the very minority communities that were helped by

1434
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: the other guy. All right, team, So as we discuss

1435
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:30,640
Speaker 1: today is Veterans Day, and I want to bring on

1436
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:33,760
Speaker 1: we have many good friends who are veterans who are

1437
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:36,759
Speaker 1: frequent guests here in the show. Our friend Brandon Webb

1438
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 1: joins us now. He is the founder of softwarep dot com,

1439
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:42,719
Speaker 1: which also owns Great Club and they have a show

1440
01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:44,680
Speaker 1: inside the Team Roman he's gonna tell us about also

1441
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: Brandon as a former Navy seal himself. Brandon, Happy Veterans Day, man,

1442
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 1: Thank you for your service. What are your what are

1443
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 1: your thoughts? Just start with your opening thoughts today is

1444
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: it's a day to actually appreciate those who have served,

1445
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: you know, I mean my thoughts and thank for having

1446
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: me on the show. I appreciate it. My thoughts are

1447
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:07,600
Speaker 1: you know this is a data to acknowledge, you know,

1448
01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 1: veterans have served. But in the larger picture, you know,

1449
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 1: I think your audience would appreciate the fact now more

1450
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 1: than either, more than more than ever. We need to

1451
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:21,680
Speaker 1: really think about, you know, what we're doing abroad and

1452
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,719
Speaker 1: and do we really have a well thought out form

1453
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 1: policy strategy in place? Because you know, you and I

1454
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 1: both lost friends since nine to eleven, and you know,

1455
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 1: I hate to look at what we're doing in Afghanistan now,

1456
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 1: almost twenty years in, and you know, I think we

1457
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 1: just have to really hold hold our politicians accountable and

1458
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:44,840
Speaker 1: make sure that we're we're putting forth America's best and

1459
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: brightest to a cause that we can get behind in

1460
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 1: the country. And I mean, do you think we should

1461
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 1: get out get out of Afghanistan brand that I know

1462
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 1: you served there? Yeah, I mean, honestly, the mission when

1463
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:59,839
Speaker 1: I was over there was very clear after nine to eleven.

1464
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:01,720
Speaker 1: You know, I deployed in two thousand and one, two

1465
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: thousand and two, it was killed a bunch of bad

1466
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 1: guys and wipe out the training camps, which we did,

1467
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:10,679
Speaker 1: And personally, I think we probably would have been better

1468
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 1: off packing up and leaving in two thousand and three.

1469
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,879
Speaker 1: And I just look at, you know, the the amount

1470
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 1: of billions of dollars pumped into that country, and really,

1471
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:23,640
Speaker 1: what are we gonna have to show for it? And

1472
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:26,760
Speaker 1: you know, ideally, if we look at it, if we

1473
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:29,599
Speaker 1: pulled out tomorrow, the Taliban it's back in power. So

1474
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things. Um, you know, not

1475
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:35,120
Speaker 1: going a tangent when you look at Syria, right, I

1476
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 1: think Trump made the right call by pulling troops out

1477
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 1: of Syria because we don't really want to get into

1478
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 1: a proxy war with Russia and Iran, and so you

1479
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 1: think series the right move. Do you feel like the

1480
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 1: administration by large? I mean, well, when you talk to

1481
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 1: veterans about about how Trump is doing as commander in chief,

1482
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:02,639
Speaker 1: what's the what's the overriding sentiment did you pick up? Yeah,

1483
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's a good question, right, I think largely

1484
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 1: the sentiment that I hear among my fellow veterans that

1485
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:14,719
Speaker 1: that Trump has been a pretty good commander in chief,

1486
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 1: like in the form of really respecting the troops, which

1487
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 1: I served under the Clinton administration when I first joined

1488
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:25,720
Speaker 1: the Navy, and it was well known amongst all military

1489
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: service members that there was kind of a disdain of

1490
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:32,519
Speaker 1: sorts for men and women in uniform and that's just

1491
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 1: not good for morale. Right, Yeah, that is clearly that

1492
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:40,080
Speaker 1: is part of the case. Brandon tell us about Inside

1493
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:42,120
Speaker 1: the team Room, the show that you guys have launched

1494
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 1: over at soft Rup. So the first team Room show

1495
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 1: we did was back in twoy twelve, when we launched

1496
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 1: softwap dot com, it actually featured Chris Kyle Americ, who

1497
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,080
Speaker 1: was the American Sniper at the time. Him and I

1498
01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 1: had two books out together, my Being the Red Circle

1499
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 1: and his Being America Sniper, and that showed it extremely well.

1500
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,519
Speaker 1: We since pulled it down out of respect to the

1501
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 1: for the family, but the series has carried on. So

1502
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 1: we just launched a new series on dot com called

1503
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:18,120
Speaker 1: Inside the Team Room Navy Seal Snipers. Um. It features

1504
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:22,599
Speaker 1: myself Charlie Melton, who worked with me as an instructor

1505
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 1: at the Sniper program, and it really goes into like

1506
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:31,520
Speaker 1: areas of conversation that you just don't find on typical

1507
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 1: television or cable programming. And that's what I think really

1508
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:39,960
Speaker 1: makes the show special is you know, Charlie can you know,

1509
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,360
Speaker 1: talk about the struggles of transitioning from active duty to

1510
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 1: civilian life, but also you know the time he shot

1511
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 1: someone at sixty yards with a fifty cal sniper rifle,

1512
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:53,879
Speaker 1: So that you know, the stories are engaging and um,

1513
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think people are really going to enjoy

1514
01:31:55,920 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 1: the show going to find it at soft reap dot com.

1515
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 1: We put the first three episodes on YouTube on our

1516
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:08,880
Speaker 1: YouTube channel for free, um but our you know, we

1517
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:11,639
Speaker 1: have a military version of Netflix on software so people

1518
01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 1: can can sign up for monthly and access the video

1519

1530
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:04,720
Speaker 1: dot com. Carl says Buck Carl here just saying you

1531
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:07,240
Speaker 1: sound like the guy off Princess Bride, you know that

1532
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:10,080
Speaker 1: mel Brooks played, or the witch that yells. You know,

1533
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:12,720
Speaker 1: it's the inflection of the tone that's hilarious. When do

1534
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:14,719
Speaker 1: I sound like the Princess? Oh? Want to do Bernie?

1535
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:16,720
Speaker 1: Bernie said this, I don't know, I don't know who

1536
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about here. Well as far as Joe Biden

1537
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:23,120
Speaker 1: goes he needs about four or five years of previgin

1538
01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:32,520
Speaker 1: what and producer Mark Huey, Dewey Louis and Scrooge McDuck. Okay,

1539
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: thank you, Carl. I don't even know what's going on here, Carl.

1540
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate you running in all right, Benny, Benny and

1541
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 1: the Jets, Hey Buck, how many more slanted, biased, non attributable, false,

1542
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 1: misleading quote news articles we'll it take before Conservatives on

1543
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:56,200
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill began using a Lensky's tactic of ridicule as

1544
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 1: a most potent weapon. If a conservative has asked to

1545
01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:00,280
Speaker 1: comment on a story from the New York Time Times,

1546
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 1: they respond every time they didn't read it, nor do

1547
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:05,680
Speaker 1: they comment on anything that from a particular fraudulent source.

1548
01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:12,479
Speaker 1: Will be the American people. Bob whoa shields high? Benny, Yeah,

1549
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know where the meat

1550
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,400
Speaker 1: we're fighting. We're fighting the anti we're in the media,

1551
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 1: fighting the anti media war. That seems to be what's

1552
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 1: going on here. Karen about Christine Blasi Forge right, she

1553
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 1: can't remember where or when that party was, but she

1554
01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:31,240
Speaker 1: claims Brett having assaulted her. But she remembers she only

1555
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 1: had one beer. When my alcoholic clients say one beer,

1556
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:38,080
Speaker 1: they mean a forty ounce bottle. Well, Karen, as you know,

1557
01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 1: I think that the Blasi Ford was a political hit,

1558
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 1: and I think that she was probably just delusional but

1559
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:51,439
Speaker 1: definitely incorrect and possibly lying intentionally. But that's that's where

1560
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 1: I am on this. Let's see here, lo right, So

1561
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 1: listen to your show because your version of the day's events.

1562
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 1: I really like the roll call structure of interaction with

1563
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 1: your listeners opinions. Taking call some people in the middle

1564
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:03,880
Speaker 1: of the the show is what everybody else does. It gets old.

1565
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 1: I really like everything you're doing to expand your media company.

1566
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:10,760
Speaker 1: Kudos to producer Mark. Oh, you know, we appreciate producer Mark.

1567
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 1: We just don't want him to, you know, get a

1568
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 1: big head or anything, you know, because now we're doing

1569
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 1: all this cool new stuff and producer Marcus, you know,

1570
01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 1: running the cool new stuff. Don't worry, my head could

1571
01:35:19,160 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 1: never get as big as yours. That is a that

1572
01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:24,240
Speaker 1: is a literally true statements. My cranium is giant. I'm

1573
01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:26,840
Speaker 1: in literally n figured to lay here you go, but

1574
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:30,000
Speaker 1: producer Marcus here to make sure that the buckster's feet

1575
01:35:30,040 --> 01:35:31,760
Speaker 1: stayed on the ground. Here in the Freedom Hut not

1576
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:33,760
Speaker 1: floating up into the sky. I don't worry about that.

1577
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:38,280
Speaker 1: We have Dixie right. Hey, Buck, just wondering you've seen

1578
01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 1: heard the new ad for the Hartford Insurance Company. The

1579
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:48,920
Speaker 1: Buck starts here. I have not. I have not, but

1580
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 1: I will um, I will check it out. John rights Buck.

1581
01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 1: Trump is the ultimate capitalist as such, just the fact

1582
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:02,200
Speaker 1: that he is. He is a direct to the government

1583
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:05,559
Speaker 1: swamp and bureaucrat blah blah. Wait what hold on? Trump

1584
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:08,000
Speaker 1: is the ultimate capitalist as such, just the fact that

1585
01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:12,560
Speaker 1: he is is a direct there we go to the

1586
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:15,000
Speaker 1: government swamp and every beer kind of Washington, DC. That's

1587
01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 1: one of the reasons they hate him so much for

1588
01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 1: as long as they do. John m Yeah, John, I

1589
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 1: do think that that is that you're onto something here

1590
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 1: with that Trump is a threat to the swamp. They

1591
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:33,919
Speaker 1: recognize that, and so they act accordingly. So there you go, Jacob.

1592
01:36:34,479 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 1: I love that you have an official email. Now I'm

1593
01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 1: doing my best to get out the word about Team

Speaker 1: tell your conservative friends to listen to the Buck Sexton Show.

1599
01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:54,720
Speaker 1: It is the single most helpful thing you can do

1600
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 1: is to get somebody that you know who doesn't already

1601
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:01,160
Speaker 1: listen to the show to listen. That is a game

1602
01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:03,120
Speaker 1: changer for us here. All right, now we'll go over

1603
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 1: to the Facebook side of things. We got Jonathan rights Buck,

1604

Speaker 1: anybody were to be disrespectful to missus, Producer Mark, there

1610
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 1: would be hell to pay, which I back one hundred percent.

Speaker 1: I mean that's different. That's not just me being violent. No, No,

01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 1: knuckle sandwich. Remember when people say give you a knuckle sandwich,

Speaker 1: with your instincts first. No, mouthguard might as a word

1621
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,360
Speaker 1: avenger shirt and crocs while you're at it. Good teeth

Speaker 1: I'll roll with it. So yes, indeed, Um, the mouthguard

1625
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 1: I have not. I have not yet been able to

1626
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:20,720
Speaker 1: get that thing to do what I want to do.

1627
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:23,920
Speaker 1: So um, but I'm working. I'm working on all the things,

1628
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:29,040
Speaker 1: working all the stuff. Amanda Rights, thanks for the book recommendations.

1629
01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:34,720
Speaker 1: Also Endgame. The new Marvel movie stunk. I was so

1630
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 1: mad that I spent all my time watching it. Um. Yeah,

1631
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 1: she's right, isn't she? Mark No, she is very very wrong,

1632
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:46,799
Speaker 1: just saying another one. Put another one on the board

1633
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:49,600
Speaker 1: for the bucks. That's like two and the rest of

1634
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:51,880
Speaker 1: them are with me. So the ones who know know

1635
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 1: what's up. I know what. I watched her the weekend.

1636
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:58,280
Speaker 1: It was it was Oh, can I recommend it? I

1637
01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:01,760
Speaker 1: watched The King on Netflix. It was pretty well done.

1638
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 1: It's about Henry the Fifth Battle of a Juan Carl.

1639
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:07,640
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. But and the battle sequence they did,

1640
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 1: I feel like, was hyper realistic, which was an interesting

1641
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:13,080
Speaker 1: way to go for that period. They did not. It

1642
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:15,519
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of these battles. They have a guy

1643
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,559
Speaker 1: who you know, was standing in the battlefield and he's

1644
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 1: like cutting down people left and right, and it's all

1645
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 1: very choreographed and you know he's like yeah, yeah, and

1646
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:26,760
Speaker 1: you can see him and every This battle was just

1647
01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:29,160
Speaker 1: like a man I mean, dudes rolling around the mud,

1648
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 1: stabbing each other in the eyes with you know, sharpened sticks,

1649
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:35,439
Speaker 1: crushing each other, horses fall on top of people. I

1650
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:38,519
Speaker 1: mean that it was. It was a little a little

1651
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 1: bit like the best episode of Game of Thrones probably ever,

1652
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: which was the Battle of the Bastards, where you had

1653
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:47,000
Speaker 1: that fight sequence, but that was stylized. But it was

1654
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:50,280
Speaker 1: it was pretty well done. I thought this was a

1655
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:52,920
Speaker 1: not a very stylized battle sequence at all, and it was.

1656
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 1: It was good. The movie itself, though, I feel like

1657
01:39:57,240 --> 01:39:58,720
Speaker 1: drags a little bit, all a slow in some places,

1658
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:00,519
Speaker 1: but a Netflix movie was pretty good. But yeah, if

1659
01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 1: you want to see some about Henry the Fifth and

1660
01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: John Falstaff doing their thing. I thought it was it

1661
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:10,320
Speaker 1: was a it was a solid enough effort. I watched

1662
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:13,880
Speaker 1: it over the course of the weekend. Lauren Rights, Hey Bock,

1663
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 1: I just started watching your show on Pluto TV using

1664
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 1: our Roku. A couple of comments. The audio volume between

1665
01:40:20,120 --> 01:40:22,920
Speaker 1: your show and the commercials significant. The commercials are too loud,

1666
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:27,559
Speaker 1: your show is too soft. There's a okay and more

1667
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,160
Speaker 1: complaints about commercial Well, we love our sponsors, but Lauren,

1668
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 1: we will pass this onto producer Mark and he can

1669
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 1: see if he can work some of that Producer Mark

1670
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:37,799
Speaker 1: magic to do all the things, make all the things happen.

1671
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:45,560
Speaker 1: James Dune Dune Dune, I side with producer Mark. I

1672
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:48,760
Speaker 1: support the Mets shields tire from w g Y New York.

1673
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:53,599
Speaker 1: So James is also miserable. Yeah, the Mets not so good.

1674
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 1: They are usually laughing stock of baseball. How can they

1675
01:40:58,080 --> 01:40:59,439
Speaker 1: be the case? The New York is such a big

1676
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: sports make so much. Yeah, well they have ownership that

1677
01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:04,200
Speaker 1: refuses to spend money on the team. But they love

1678
01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:06,920
Speaker 1: when we spend money, you know, buying merchandise and tickets

1679
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:09,040
Speaker 1: and food and all that stuff. But they won't spend

1680
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 1: it on players. Yeah, it's not good. That's that's not

1681
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:13,560
Speaker 1: a recipe for success. I feel like it is not

1682
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:16,960
Speaker 1: not in baseball where there's no salary cap. M what's

1683
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,160
Speaker 1: the best? What are like the mega teams? Well, the

1684
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 1: Yankees they're the ultimate team, the Red Sox, the Dodgers,

1685
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:24,519
Speaker 1: most of the ones, the kind of the marquee names.

1686
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:25,960
Speaker 1: It's not like a team. It's not. You know, Golden

1687
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 1: State Warriors were a joke ten years ago or fifteen

1688
01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 1: years ago. Now they're like the team. Well now they're

1689
01:41:30,240 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 1: not anymore this year. They have a lot of players injured.

1690
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 1: But well, okay, well I was class I see, I

1691
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:36,680
Speaker 1: almost dropped some sports knowledge. Almost didn't let me get

1692
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:38,880
Speaker 1: it was very close. Yeah, I knew more about sports

1693
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:40,800
Speaker 1: back in the nineties than I do now. But now

1694
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:42,040
Speaker 1: I have to just read all the time so I

1695
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:43,760
Speaker 1: can tell team Buck what's going You still think the

1696
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 1: Knicks are a good team? Are they not a good team? Oh?

1697
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 1: My god, they're the worst team in basketball. That's really that.

1698
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:51,759
Speaker 1: That's another How is that possible? They got the biggest

1699
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 1: basketball market in the country here, Yes, New York City

1700
01:41:55,320 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 1: loves basketball. Well, another ownership problem is that the Dolans,

1701
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 1: I've hurt. He's a joke. I knew somebody used to

1702
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:04,080
Speaker 1: work for them and said that it was amazing to

1703
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:06,080
Speaker 1: work for a sports franchise with the people who owned

1704
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:08,160
Speaker 1: the franchise didn't care about sports. See if he was

1705
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:10,360
Speaker 1: like to the Knicks like he is to the Rangers,

1706
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:12,599
Speaker 1: the Knicks would be good. He just leaves the Rangers alone,

1707
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: lets the hockey people do the hockey things. Doesn't do

1708
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:19,120
Speaker 1: that with basketball. I see, Yeah, Cody Rights, Hey Buck,

1709
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:26,320
Speaker 1: you're looked up Porter Stansbury before Wikipedia. Yeah, Cody, Porter's

1710
01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 1: my man. Porter's a friend of mine. He's great. So

1711
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:31,200
Speaker 1: I know all about Porter. Let's see what else we

1712
01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 1: have here, Gina, hey Buck, Robin and Prince of Thieves

1713
01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:38,400
Speaker 1: is okay. But it's not just he has no English accent.

1714
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:41,760
Speaker 1: He starts off with one badly, in my opinion, in

1715
01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:46,120
Speaker 1: the first twenty minutes or so, it's completely gone. Is

1716
01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:48,640
Speaker 1: that really true? But I will say Alan Rickman is

1717
01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 1: a badass Sheriff of Nottingham. I'll cut jall hot out

1718
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:55,639
Speaker 1: with a spoon shield tie. Gina, you may be right

1719
01:42:55,720 --> 01:43:01,320
Speaker 1: about about the performance that what's his name turned in

1720
01:43:01,560 --> 01:43:05,240
Speaker 1: for Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. I don't remember. I

1721
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:07,840
Speaker 1: just remember him walking around like I am Robin Hood.

1722
01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:09,920
Speaker 1: I do not have an accent. Everyone else's like, O,

1723
01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:13,160
Speaker 1: who's that Robin Hood? Is he trying to steal bread

1724
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:16,080
Speaker 1: from the sheriff and give it to the pool people.

1725
01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:20,479
Speaker 1: It looks like that. You know. Everyone else has got

1726
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:23,639
Speaker 1: like a real serious accent. He's like, I am Robin Hood.

1727
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 1: I have no accent. I didn't think that was cool. Yeah,

1728
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 1: if everyone else has an accent, you need an accent.

1729
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:30,719
Speaker 1: They're walking around. I'm like, oh boy, he's so good

1730
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:34,320
Speaker 1: with the bower de row. Look at him. He takes

1731
01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:38,400
Speaker 1: the bowie, shoots the arrow realm like right straight on

1732
01:43:40,840 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: dunk in the blinds. I sound just like the guy

1733
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:47,040
Speaker 1: dunk in the assistant that he has. Thank you, Robin Nood,

1734
01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 1: you gave me a bit of bread. It's the ninety

1735
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 1: so we think it old. British people talk like this

1736
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:55,960
Speaker 1: a little bit unless they're the Queen than they sound fancy.

1737
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,519
Speaker 1: I do love a nice British accent. Yeah exactly, I

1738
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:01,559
Speaker 1: probably be fake one at bars. You'd be helpful here
