1
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. It's election night. Votes

2
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: are being cast as we speak. Can Republicans hold the

3
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: House against the odds? Can they add to their Senate lead?

4
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: That and all the big issues affecting it coming up

5
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: on the buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: Show or the mission or mission is to decode what

7
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: really matters with actionable intelligence? What magnorma stake American analytic

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: grant you're a great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins.

9
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: You see to express a curriculum confidence not doing repeat

10
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: the same way you when you win. Are you under

11
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: that's sure in your mind? Yes I am. Let me

12
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: just say why. As I travel across the country, I

13
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: listened to the v I p s, the volunteers in politics,

14
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: all the people who are knocking on doors, making calls

15
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: and the rest, and I say to them, every step

16
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: you take, every door you knock, every call you make,

17
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: iver sign, you plant I postcards you've sent, all of

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: that can make the difference. Because these are late, individual

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: races will be close, and the outpouring of mobilization by

20
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: various groups, all working together, springs from the quality of

21
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: our candidates. They're inspired by our candidates, and that's why

22
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: they're getting out to vote. Well. We think the blue

23
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: waves going to hit a red wall all across this country.

24
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: The enthusiasm the President Trump and I are seeing he

25
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: saw here in Montana just a short while ago, I

26
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: saw today all across this country. I think it is

27
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: all being driven by the results the President Trump and

28
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: our partners and Congress have been able to deliver. I

29
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: think the American people are stepping up. There's upping forward.

30
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: They're saying, we want to see more, more commitment to

31
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: our military, more jobs, more growth, more tax relief, more

32
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: conservatives on our courts at every level. And they know

33
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: that means that we need to renew and even grow

34
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: our majorities on Capitol Hill, and people are turning out

35
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: to do just that. Welcome to the buck, Sex and

36
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: show everybody. Two very different assessments of how tonight's gonna

37
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: shake out. Election night in many ways, the most exciting

38
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: and most boring day in politics. Exciting because there's an election.

39
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: Boring because we have to hear about all day how

40
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: there's an election. It's he turned out some of his coverage.

41
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: It's like, Hey, what's going on over there? Phil, Oh,

42
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: there's a line of people. You can only see four

43
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: of them behind me, but the line stretches around the

44
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: block for all this vote. I oh my gosh, hey,

45
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: let's part. The early voting number is not gonna tell

46
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: us who's gonna win. But really interesting back to you, Sally,

47
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: you know it's there's a lot of that going on here.

48
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: Um and I I can tell you you know, the

49
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: the the races that matter. And by the way, I'm

Speaker 1: loove some great conservatives. I believe my friend Rahem's gonna join. Uh,

Speaker 1: we're gonna have on Charlie Kirk from Turning Point USA.

Speaker 1: We're gonna have on Armstrong Williams. We're gonna have on

56
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,359

63
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: The Hill on YouTube on Facebook and you'll see and

64
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: we'll be streaming there for our election night coverage. But

65
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: the other races that matter here, I mean, I want

66
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: Beto to just get crushed because I don't like this

67
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: media fantasy they've created around this guy. We're he's like

68
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: the Kennedy from Texas or something. I mean, it's just

69
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: it's all, it's all mythology. The guy's name is Robert,

70
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: he married a billionaire and now he wants to be

71
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: a national level political figure because who knows why, because

72
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: he's a true blue, true blue leftist. I don't know.

73
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like it, so I don't. I

74
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: don't think Beto the billionaire is going to do very

75
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: well tonight. I hope that, as I've been saying, this

76
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: has been really one of the only predictions that I've

77
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: been consistently hammering. I think he's gonna lose by ten points.

78
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: I hope he loses by ten. If he loses by four,

79
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: which I think some of the polls have him at,

80
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: just to know that they'll say, oh, it's a even

81
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: though he lost, it's a win. That's what they'll say,

82
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: even though you know he he couldn't pull it off.

83
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: He pulled it off because he made a statement of Texas.

84
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: So that's that allergy. Abraham's Kemp I think, uh, I

85
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: think Kemp is gonna win, but it's gonna be close,

86
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: very very close in Georgia. Um, I think that Kemp

87
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: is gonna win. And by the way, notice how I'm

88
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: throwing out all my predictions now because you know, why not.

89
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: If we're gonna just get into the prediction zone, I

90
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: might as well join the party, right what some of

91
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: you will listen to this, by the way, if you're

92
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: on a little bit of a delay or listen to

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: the podcast, he'll already know to be like ah buck

94
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: if you only knew hindsight is But I think that

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Kemp will will narrowly squeak it out against Abrams. But

96
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, that one I'm not super confident about. For sure.

97
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm very confident that Ted will will beat Beto by

98
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: a pretty wide margin. Um. The one that I can't

99
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: tell you I've got good feelings about is Florida. I

100
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: think Gilm is gonna beat De Santis. I just you know,

101
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: the media is a lot of attention on that one.

102
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: De Santis is not the most compelling candidate in the world.

103
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: I just think that he's I think he's in trouble.

104
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: I think he's in trouble there. I think that mc

105
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: sally will will beat Cinema in Arizona. I think that

106
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: Heller is gonna win in Nevada. I think that from

107
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: trying to what else. Oh and yeah, as much as

108
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: I wish I could tell you Menendez would lose, I

109
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: think Menda is probably gonna win in New Jersey. I mean,

110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: those are the big ones that I think people are

111
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: paying a lot of attention to. UM. I also think

112
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: Steve King has probably done and J. D. Hayworth I

113
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: think it is I'm doing this all off the top

114
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: of my head. I think he will it's Jade. Hey,

115
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: what's the guy's name, you know, the guy who's running

116
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: against Steve King and Iowa. I forget his name. Anyway,

117
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: I think that those are the wather the way those

118
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: race will turn out. But you know, you know, speculation

119
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: isn't worth much the moment we have real results, right,

120
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: So I won't spend too much time on that today.

121
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: Though those are my buck predictions. Take them or leave them.

122
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: What's at stake though, that matters, That matters to all

123
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: of us. And and here's what the real choices tonight.

124
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: I want to put it in very very clear terms,

125
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: as I try to do here on the show all

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: the time team, But what we have is, will enough

127
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: of the country show up to out that understands what

128
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Trump is trying to accomplish, what Trump ZUM and the

129
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: Republican Party United behind it is really all about and

130
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: all of the good things the positive movement in this

131
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: country in the last two years, Well enough people show

132
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: up that want to continue with that, or will Democrats

133
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: take control of the House of Representatives and then drag

134
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: us through a nightmarish political no holds barred h free

135
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: for all of impeachment investigations and prosecutions, prosecutions that they

136
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: will trump up, prosecutions that will be very selective and politicized.

137
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: There will be an effort for the deep state to

138
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: now rely on congressional investigation as well as stuff going

139
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: on inside the d O j FBI, you know, apparatus

140
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: to go after Trump people, and it's going to be

141
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: very very ugly. They will, even with the slimmest majority

142
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: impeach this president because their base demands it. What will

143
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 1: they impeach him over who knows? Doesn't even really matter,

144
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: because while they'll impeach him, why they will impeach him

145
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: is just a function of they hate him. They don't

146
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: like the way he acts, they don't like the way

147
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: he talks, they don't like what he stands for. They

148
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: don't like that he holds the mirror up to the

149
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: left and lets the rest of us see how ugly

150
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: and cruel and destructive the political left really is. And

151
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: so they hate him. That's the reason they'll come up. Oh,

152
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: they'll talk about obstruction. Oh though you know Russia collusion,

153
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh there was there any collusion, No, but there was

154
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: an attempt at attempted collusion. That they'll just come up

155
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: with some construct of why they need to hold him accountable,

156
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, why there needs to be this reckoning of sort,

157
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: and you know, truth be told. Um, it's going to

158
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: get very very contentious, very angry, very destructive here in

159
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: d C. And they'll be not a single policy benefit

160
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: from Democrats holding the House of the next years. There's

161
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: nothing that will come from Democrats having a majority in

162
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives that is a that will markedly

163
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: improve the lives of any American, not one. It'll just

164
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: give a foothold in the government for even crazier conspiracy theories,

165
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: for even more insane lies about how the president you know,

166
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: worked with Russia and cheated on this, or cheated on that,

167
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: and all these differ. I mean, that's where all of

168
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: this is heading. That's what we are going to be

169
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: in the midst of So we figure out, or we

170
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: find out tonight, what future or we face. I mean,

171
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: I am uh, I am deeply troubled at the notion

172
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: of a Nancy Pelosi led left wing house. That is

173
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: just they're just looking for payback. They're not looking for legislation.

174
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: They're not looking to triangulate or come up with something

175
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: that would actually be worthwhile that then they could run

176
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: on in actual accomplishment. No, no, no, they want to

177
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: destroy They want to destroy Trump. They want to destroy

178
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: all the people around him. They don't care the economy

179
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: is booming, they don't care that Trump has exceeded almost

180
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: everyone's expectations for how successful as presidency has been. And

181
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: they don't even care that we're you know, Trump's not

182
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: on the ballot. They will make this, especially if they

183
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: win the House, this will be considered a referendum on Trump,

184
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: because they will use that talking point of oh, this

185
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: is a referendum on Trump as yet another reason, another

186
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: rationale to trash Trump. You now, they will use it

187
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: as another way that they are trying to explain why

188
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: they're so ferociously opposed to this president and why they

189
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: have to do everything in their power to take him down. Yes,

190
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: I think the conventional wisdom right now looks pretty good.

191
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: But doesn't the conventional wisdom always look pretty good? Isn't

192
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: that always the case? Very likely that the Republicans will

193
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: pick up a few Senate seats. I've been saying fifty five.

194
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a little maybe that's a little rosy, Maybe

195
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: it's fifty three, But fifty five is the number that

196
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: I've picked for the GOP, and I'm sticking to it.

197
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: In the House. Smart money right now, such as it is,

198
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: is on twenty to thirty seats going for the you knows,

199
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: switching over and going for the Democrats, you know, a

200
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: net gain for the Democrats at seats in the House Representatives,

201
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: which would give them a majority. That sounds reasonable to me.

202
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: There's nothing about that that I think to myself, oh, well,

203
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: you know that can't happen. That must But but I again,

204
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. And the truth there's nobody knows. And

205
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: thank heavens. Now, finally, you notice I don't talk about

206
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean opinion polls to some degree, But but election

207
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: polling on this show I tend to st away from because,

208
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: first of all, who the heck think about this shows?

209
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I would see this on MSNBC. You know,

210
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: the polling about candidates from three months ago, who even remembers,

211
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: who even cares? It didn't matter that. It's just a

212
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: way to fill time and create a create room for

213
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: wild speculation, which is what tonight is often about until

214
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: we finally get some numbers. But make no mistake about it,

215
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: this is a very important day for the country. It's

216
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: not the most important election of our lifetime. It's not

217
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: the you know that's but all that crap aside, But

218
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: it is an important day because we are in the

219
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: midst of a political change that was right to the

220
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: heart of elitist power structures in this country, that has

221
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: jolted people that thought that they were just going to

222
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: continue on in their in their positions of of influence

223
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: and access and money without anybody ever coming along to

224
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: shake them up a little bit. And it also is

225
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: I would offer to all of you listening a necessary

226
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: counterpoint and even really antidote to obama Ism. That's what

227
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: Trump is after eight years of being dragged into a

228
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: progressive dystopia insofar as they can affect things. America is

229
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: very durable, right. A lot of stuff just kind of

230
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: happens no matter who the president is. I mean, I'm

231
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: not trying to say that and everything went terrible and no, no, no, no,

232
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: But in areas where the previous administration had the strongest hand,

233
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean in areas where they really pursued policies for

234
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: it less la that was, they were wrong and they

235
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: were destructive policies. They did not work out well for

236
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: the American people. They were they were damaging more than

237
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: there were some ways they were helpful, but they were

238
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: damaging more than helpful. Trump is a corrective to that,

239
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: and people are fighting furiously against it. They do not

240
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: want to have to deal with the reality of not

241
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: just the erasing of Obama's legacy, which is what Trump

242
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: has been doing, but setting this country on a path

243
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: where things may never be the same in a good way.

244
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: If Trump is able to continue his work, but he

245
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: needs a majority in the Senate and a majority in

246
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: the House or else. All that this turns into is

247
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: an impeachment battle that won't be settled until the twenty

248
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: presidential election. More thoughts on this, my friends. I know

249
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: it's a very very busy night, so stick with me,

250
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: will be right back far be. If the Republicans to

251
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: talk about the disruption within the Democratic Party, they got

252
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: their own disruption going on battling their own president. That

253
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: prison to talk about the economy, but yet it contains

254
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: to talk about the immigration. But they are not Republicans.

255
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: They are Democrats, and we are looking for a big

256
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: night to really hold off the president. And it's going

257
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: to happen in the house. Hold off the president. That's

258
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: all this is. I mean, for all their talk on

259
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: the left about health care and uh, you know, different

260
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: policies that they say the Democrats are gonna pursue, at

261
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: the end of the day, this is just this is

262
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: just a stop Trump election, or maybe you could say

263
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: it's the precursor stop Trump election to the we're really good,

264
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: they're really gonna try to stop Trump, then right, but

265
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: that's what they offer. Do you like what's going on now?

266
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: If yes, vote for Trump. If you don't like the prosperity,

267
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: if you don't like the lighter regulatory touch, if you

268
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: don't like common sense applied to the very top of

269
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: our government structure, then you can vote for some crazy

270
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: leftists and see how see how much fune we have

271
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: is that how to transform us into a democratic socialist state,

272
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: much less of the ideological cohesion than you have. By

273
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: the way, in many of these successful Democrats socialist states,

274
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: one thing that never gets discussed is, you know, there's

275
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: not a tremendous amount of acrimony and political division in

276
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: places like Sweden or well more now these days, but

277
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: that's a whole other conversation. Or Denmark, not a lot.

278
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of unity and cohesion

279
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: among people in those in those countries that that the

280
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: left wing of the Democrat Party, the Bernie wing, points

281
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: to and says, why can't we do what they do? Well?

282
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: The answer maybe we can't do it, that we wouldn't

283
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: be able to pull that off. And we are a

284
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: country now with very little that binds is I mean,

285
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: you have the left wing that just yesterday was saying

286
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: maybe you should abolish the Senate. I'm seeing more of

287
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: that today because why because they're not gonna win the Senate.

288
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: It's just it's just sour grapes. It's just cry baby stuff.

289
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: But get ready for a lot of that with the

290
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: Senate because they know that there's not that much that

291
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: they'll be able to do with just the House. It's

292
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: it just becomes really a place for them two do

293
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: a lot of hashtag resistance speeches. You gonna have a

294
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: lot of that going on on the floor, and it's

295
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: not good for the country, but you know, it's it's

296
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: the system we have. And I mean I at least

297
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: respected insofar as this is what's got to happen. But man,

298
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: for an election that's not supposed to be about the president,

299
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: he certainly looms very large in this one. Uh. And

300
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm just just one thing I want to note. You know,

301
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: you never have Republicans in these congressional districts who are

302
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: trying to run more like Democrats. Just look around tonight

303
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: as the electoral map fills up and go, wait a second,

304
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: that that guy or that gal sounds a lot like

305
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: a Republican on a lot of things. Now they have one,

306
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: oh man, because you realize that when when they get

307
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: to d C, when they get to Capitol Hill, all

308
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: these people that are Democrats that are like, oh, but

309
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a more traditional, you know, gun toting

310
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: Democrat and now I'm from the South and I like

311
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: the outdoors and blah bli blah and all this stuff.

312
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: All of a sudden they vote like Nancy Pelosi. You know,

313
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: you don't have this with Republicans. Republicans are never oh yeah,

314
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a left wing moderate or a centrist

315
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: moderate Republican and and now I'm really gonna be a

316
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: hard line right winger. As soon as I get that,

317
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. So I would just note that that's

318
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: a dynamic that I'm sure is going to continue to

319
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: play out. And also remember you can watch our Hill

320
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: TV coverage tonight if you wanted to. And in folks,

321
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: there'll be some lives on there. Be prepared for it,

322
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: but a lot of conservatives to will be fun. You

323
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: get to hang out with me and that I'll be

324
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: starting at eight eastern tonight. Just go to Hill dot

325
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: TV or you can watch us on Facebook, or we're

326
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: streaming it on YouTube, a lot of digital platforms. Just

327
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: type the Hill and you'll find that, or go to

328
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: the Hill dot com. More election big picture analysis is

329
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: on the way, so stay tuned. We have a crisis

330
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: of illegal immigration at our southern border, but this caravan

331
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: that's moving north is deeply concerning people all across this country.

332
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: I hear about it every day. It's the reason why

333
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: the President's made it clear that the caravan will not

334
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: be allowed to enter our country illegally. Ultimately, we can

335
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: end this crisis of illegal immigration, but we have to

336
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: have partners on Capitol Hill to do it. And this

337
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: midterm election is an opportunity for the American people to

338
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: elect and reelect men and women to our nation's capital

339
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: who will be committed to stand with this president. And

340
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: I believe doing that that uh, that will will end

341
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: this crisis of illegal immigration once and for all. I

342
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: don't care what the polsters say. I don't care what

343
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: the exit poles. By the way, ignore exit polling. Exit

344
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: polling his garbage. Exit polling is like fancy rumormongering. It

345
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: really is nothing. People talk about it because you've got

346
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: all these different networks that are, oh, here we are,

347
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: we gotta cover this thing. But you don't want to

348
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: get caught up in the exit polling stuff because you know,

349
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: who knows what it really It usually turns out to

350
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: be a nothing burger, and it's just it's filler. It's

351
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: on air filler. So if you want to hear on

352
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: air filler that they'll get into the exit polls and

353
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: they always egue earlier. It's just, you know, it's a

354
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: it's a nonsense, nonsense fest. But immigration, I don't care

355
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: what anybody says. Immigration is important to American voters right now,

356
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: and it's a winner for Trump and the Republican Party.

357
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: Democrats can't win on immigration if people know what the

358
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: parties stand for, if they know how these parties are different.

359
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: All you hear from the left is that Republicans on

360
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: immigration are racist and xenophobic and want to close us

361
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: off from the rest of the world. That is preposterous. America,

362
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: through our legal system, takes in a million legal immigrants

363
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: every year and lets them live in this country permanently,

364
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: either as citizens or as Green card holders. A million

365
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: people every year. That's through our legal system. That includes

366
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: a whole lot of what they call now family reunification,

367
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: but it really is is chain migration. Uh, that's another

368
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: You know, the terminology here tells you so much about it, right,

369
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: That's why I focus in on undocumented immigrant, which is nonsense,

370
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: versus a legal alien. They want to make it seem

371
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: like none of this is a problem, none of this

372
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: is wrong. They really are anti sovereignty. They're anti national sovereignty.

373
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: And I would like to sit down at some point

374
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: with I mean, it probably would just evolve into a

375
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: shouting magic, but I'm gonna say some of the loudest

376
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: voices the Democratic Party immigration and force them to answer

377
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: the question who can't stay and why? Because if the

378
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: answer to who can't stay is I don't have an answer,

379
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: that means that you really want everyone to stay, you

380
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: just won't say it, which means that you don't believe

381
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: in borders, which means that you don't believe in sovereignty,

382
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: which means that you don't care if this country dissolves

383
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: over time, which is what will happen if the Democrats

384
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: have their way. It's not gonna happen in a year,

385
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: it won't happen in ten years, but within a couple

386
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: of generations, you will have a country that no longer

387
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: is held together. Remember, America is an idea. We are

388
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: not an ethnic group, we are not a religious group.

389
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: It is an idea. If enough people come together in

390
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: this country who don't share that idea, and whose first

391
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: act on our soil is a violation of some aspect

392
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: of that idea, i e. The rule of law that

393
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: everyone has to obey the same laws, we're heading to

394
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: a very dangerous place, a very destabilizing future, to be sure.

395
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: But I just think that immigration if if the pollsters

396
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: and you know, I say, I'm not doing all oh

397
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: this race, in that race, in this prediction, that prediction,

398
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: I want to talk to the big issues I'm talking

399
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: about happening to the national level. I mean, you know,

400
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, well tomorrow we can go over the results

401
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: because they'll have results, they'll have they'll have data. Right now,

402
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 1: it says it's just a speculation Olympics. That's what you've

403
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: got going on, the speculation Olympics today. Oh everyone's just

404
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, this might happen, but that might happen, but

405
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: this might happen. One of my favorite things to point

406
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: out is that on on election day, no matter who

407
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: you are, you can end your sentence with at all

408
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: the pen is on turnout and people will not approvingly

409
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: who are around you. You know, well, I'm not sure

410
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 1: how this election is going to turn out, but it

411
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: all depends on turnout. Oh yeah, that's brilliant, Buck. You

412
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: kind of repeated yourself there, but that's brilliant. You know, Well, Bob,

413
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: how's the family doing. Family's good, Jim. But it all

414
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: depends on turnout. Well, that's that's that's right, A good

415
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: good call. I mean, this is what you deal with.

416
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: Maybe you have a lot of people that are essentially

417
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: dressing up slogans and acting like it's analysis, but it's

418
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: really not analysis. But on immigration, if the pollsters have

419
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: been wrong, which I can't tell you now, we'll find

420
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: out tomorrow. But if if, if there's let's just say

421
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: that that that the craziest of crazy things happens right now,

422
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: which is that Republicans actually hold the House. That's the

423
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: thing that would be the outlier, the fat tail, the

424
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: black swan. If that were to happen, it would only

425
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: be possible if the pollsters had But I think polisters

426
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: do try to get it right because there their viability

427
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: is based upon getting it right, So I think that

428
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: they're less infected with political bias then say pundits are.

429
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that they don't have some skew in

430
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: their view. But if the Republicans do hold the House

431
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: and we have this yet again, this shock wave moment

432
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: of oh my gosh, the establishment got it wrong. How

433
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: could they not have seen this? How can they? It

434
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: will be in my opinion, because of the issue of immigration.

435
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: I think it's I think immigration is number one, And

436
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: you know what I think number two is the clarifying

437
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: effect of Kavanaugh. I think a lot of people, a

438
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: lot of people in the kind of you know, middle

439
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: the upper middle class burbs and just across the country

440
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: in general. But if you're looking at it based on

441
00:24:53,480 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: voting cohort cohorts a lot of people who weren't enamored

442
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: with Trump and trump Ism, but who are traditional kind

443
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: of right of center folks. They saw the ritualized humiliation

444
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: and flagellation of Kavanaugh on national TV, and they realize

445
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: what everyone in this country, if they're being honest, should realize,

446
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: which is the Democrats will stop at nothing. They cannot

447
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: be trusted, and they are crazy. I would immediately call

448
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: the president of Mexico the president of Canada to try

449
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: to amend NAFTA. We've got to make sure that our

450
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: agreements are good for everybody, because globalization right now is

451
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: creating winners and losers. Wait a second. That was Obama

452
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: at the start of his presidency. He's saying he was

453
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: gonna amend NAFTA and also talking about how globalizations created

454
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: winners and losers, and that affects jobs and other things

455
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: here at home, right, I mean, that's the implication of

456
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: what he said. First of all. Wow, okay, so Obama

457
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: was kind of paying attention at one time. And I

458
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: would just note that was there ever a n after

459
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: deal that Obama actually signed. Oh no, he did not

460
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: sign a n aftter deal. But you know who did

461
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: sign a deal on a renewed and updated NAFTA. Oh

462
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: that's right. President Trump did play cliff too. We have

463
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: negotiated this new agreement based on the principle of fairness

464
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: and reciprocity. To me, it's the most important word and

465
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: trade because we've been treated so unfairly by so many

466
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: nations all over the world. They were changing that. That's right.

467
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: The President has gotten results. This is a presidency that

468
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: wants to be and should be judged on its results.

469
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: And as I have said, all along, they hated even

470
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: more because it is successful. I think the left they

471
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: would still despise Trump, but their fury would be less

472
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: tinged with insanity if Trump weren't succeeding so much. The

473
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: fact that his presidency is as good and as successful

474
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: as it is so far just further frightens them that

475
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: maybe they need to rethink some of their core beliefs.

476
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: And they won't. They will shut that part of their

477
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: brain out right away. Oh No, that that can't be it.

478
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: It's got to be something else. It can't be that

479
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: maybe Trump sees something that other people don't. It can't

480
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: be that there's something else at work here. That's that's

481
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: just not possible. But but it is. But it is.

482
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: All along the administration has known, Trump has known, all

483
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: of his top people have known that mistakes of policy

484
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: and any betrayal of the base would be unforgiven that

485
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: it would be used for maximum political damage against administration.

486
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: And so they've had to they've had to one and

487
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: keep faith with the base and two uh deliver. And

488
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: and that is what I think Trump has done, and

489
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: that's what to some degree, the Republicans have done. Look,

490
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: we we can't skip over the fact that they did

491
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: not repeal and replace Obamacare. That did not happen. And

492
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: we have a handful of senators that we can thank,

493
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: however you want to thank them for that whole process,

494
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: for that debacle. We did not repeal and replace Obamacare.

495
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: And it really just goes to show you that there

496
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: there can be even for a party that I think

497
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: is right in principle and right on the on the

498
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: core issues, like the Republican Party is, there can be

499
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: legislative malpractice. And that's what that's what it was to

500
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: not have not just something ready to go, but something

501
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: compelling with which to replace Obamacare, something compelling that you

502
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: could sell the people, the voters. Pre Existing conditions. I mean,

503
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: you know, this is where we get into this policy discussion.

504
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: Pre Existing conditions are a very popular issue that have

505
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: a lot of emotional appeal. People want to believe that

506
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: if they get sick, there will be insurance for them.

507
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: People want to believe that the government isn't going to

508
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: allow for people to die slowly and painfully from treatable

509
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: disease because they don't have insurance. And now people say,

510
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: oh buck, but you know hospitals have the Yeah, the

511
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: e R has to take you, but you might not

512
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: necessarily get the life saving treatment you need if you

513
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: don't have insurance. Let's just be honest about this. Now,

514
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: how do you expand that? How do you make it better? Well,

515
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: what you want is more people practicing medicine at a

516
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: higher level and more efficient delivery of care. And the

517
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: way you get that is by people who are the

518
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: recipients of care having the power of the dollar behind them.

519
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 1: So that means more free market based solutions for a

520
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: lot of this, not all of it, because like the

521
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: Medicare is not free market, Medicaid is not free market,

522
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: the v A is not free market. I mean, there's

523
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: a lot of aspects of healthcare delivery that we have

524
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: to come to grips with it aren't going away that

525
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: are not based in the group now. And if people say,

526
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: oh buck, you know, try care and and and uh

527
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: and the v A. And there's some some programs now

528
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: that allow for you to go see private doctors. Yeah,

529
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: I know, right, this is we're talking about an enormously

530
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: complicated subject. But it gets boiled down to these very

531
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: ah useful political slogans by the left while the right

532
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: is talking about the free market like we're at some

533
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: kind of a higher lecture all the time. That just

534
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: doesn't cut it. I mean, it's one of if we

535
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: I will say this, if we lose tonight in the election,

536
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: if we lose the House, it will be in no

537
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: small part because Republicans at a national and a local

538
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: level have lacked a coherent and compelling message on what

539
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna do on healthcare. They have not talked enough

540
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: about the efforts to improve prescription drug pricing, which is

541
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: a problem. I mean, these you know, prescription drugs are

542
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, when you when you're talking about the protection

543
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: of intellectual property, it's not an absolute thing. There there's

544
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: a balancing act here between the good that society gets

545
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: in the product and the benefit that the maker of

546
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: the product gets from their patent or from their their trademark,

547
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: their right to sell this this particular intellectual property. But

548
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: it's not an absolute thing. It's not a forever thing.

549
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: It's not a you know, you developed some new drug

550
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: and then on a whim you can say, well this

551
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: drug now you know, for people that needed to save

552
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: their lives, that costs them a million dollars a day.

553
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: You can't do that, and people say the market wouldn't

554
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: bear it. But even in the short term, there there

555
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: are moral implications to some of these decisions. And the

556
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: government is inherently involved, right because if a drug company

557
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: comes along says here's my new drug in a free,

558
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: free market, you know what happens. Somebody else can say, Oh,

559
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: that's a great drug. I'm gonna make that drug too.

560
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: Oh now your profit margin goes away. Right, So the

561
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: government's playing a role. Philosophically, we need to understand that.

562
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: But there hasn't been nearly enough push on that. And

563
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: if there's one area of regret, if there's one issue

564
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: that I think Republicans have not done a good enough job,

565
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, look, they've done what they can on the economy,

566
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: but you know, the media is very powerful on that

567
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: and and the and people don't vote when they're happy.

568
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: They vote when they're upset or annoyed about something. They

569
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: want something to change. But on on healthcare, you know,

570
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: they they they didn't repeal and replace Obamacare. I know

571
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: they'd say they didn't have the sixty votes for a supermajority,

572
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: but they couldn't even get the fifty one votes as

573
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: a budgetary measure. John McCain, you know, cast that final

574
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: vote against it and and killed the deal or killed

575
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: the bill. It wasn't a deal as a bill. But

576
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: there's there has not been a a strong enough message

577
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: on that issue. And it just makes me furious because

578
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: the Democrats, look, they're going for single pair now because Obama.

579
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: If Obamacare was so great, why are they talking about

580
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: a single payer Obamacare is not great. First of all,

581
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: only really affects a pretty small center to the overall population.

582
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: And it's very expensive, very low quality healthcare that people

583
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: who really can't afford to subsidize it or subsidizing. And

584
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: if you make forty to seventy thousand dollars a year

585
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: Obama and you're in the individual market, Obamacare is probably

586
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: a very bad deal for you. If you make you know,

587
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars a year in the individual market, you know,

588
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: maybe now you're you're in a better position. But okay,

589
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean we're not. We're not talking about a clear

590
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: trade off of nothing but good stuff here. And some

591
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: people are suffering because of it, and they're not suffering

592
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: because of decisions that they've made. They're suffering because of

593
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: the decisions that the government's made. You know, a healthcare

594
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: system where the dollar follows the consumer, where you have choice,

595
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: where you have the ability to find the care that

596
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: you want and get the best price for it, and

597
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: the government regulation is altered so that we don't have

598
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: these essentially these you know, legal cartels that are still uh,

599
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, still trying to do everything they can to

600
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: protect even you know, decades later, whatever patents they have

601
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: in place and everything else. You know, the fact that

602
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: drugs for things like um or rather procedures like dialysis

603
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: are you know, so lobbyist intensive, and there's so much

604
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: stuff that goes on behind the scenes that's not free market.

605
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: We need to clear it out. We need transparency, We

606
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: need the individuals to have control of the dollars, and

607
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: we also need to have a whole And this is

608
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: a discussion that I know people don't necessarily want to have.

609
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: We don't have a national level discussion about how you know,

610
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: what the truth is, everybody's health is in their own hands.

611
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: Now what I I don't mean that you know, you're

612
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: if you get sick. And I'm somebody who's dealt with

613
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: all kinds of really freakish, out of the blue ailments

614
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: over the course of my life, you know, Celiac disease

615
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: being the one I've talked about the most. But just

616
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: I deal with all kinds of stuff. I know you

617
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: have to. I'm not saying you're responsible for your health

618
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: is in like it's your it's your fault you get

619
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: the flu. What I'm saying is your health and wellness

620
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: is really up to you. The government will not make

621
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: you healthy, The government will not make you well. This

622
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: needs to know. We keep thinking, oh, if we have

623
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: health care, it's all gonna be okay. No, it's not

624
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: all gonna be okay just because you have health care

625
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: that the government gives you, that the government says you

626
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: can have. Health, like so many other things in our lives,

627
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: is an active process that should be left to the

628
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: greatest degree possible to the individual, of course, working with

629
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: doctors and experts. But you've got to you've got to

630
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: take control of and and that's why a market that

631
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: more accurately reflects I mean right now, it's you know,

632
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: I gotta go see a doctor. I'll I'll go see

633
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: somebody and I'll pay the cope and they'll tell me

634
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: what to do. All right, Well, that that's good when

635
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: you need it. But there's a lot more to it

636
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: than just that. I know, I'm kind of getting a

637
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: little bit off the off the initial topic of the policy.

638
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: But once again, vote Republican because the Democrats are nuts,

639
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: and even on healthcare, they don't have the solutions. They

640
00:35:53,640 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: just have the slogans. You don't want that. Online security

641
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: is essential. I am buying things online all the time.

642
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm using sensitive information for banking, for credit cards,

643
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: all this stuff. Do you think you're secure online? Well,

644
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: keep in mind that I know, and you know that

645

Speaker 1: there are lots of companies that are accessing your data

646

659
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: the lying and the hatred. President and his team are

660
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: trying to drive up fear and rage when it comes

661
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: to these margarints coming up from Central America towards the

662
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: US border. Power to destroy this planet that's in the

663
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: finger of a presidented States and the President Trump holding

664
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: rallies all over the country thinking to new loads with

665
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: his line and fear mongering. This is why questions about

666
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: his fitness for office are so urgent. This is the

667
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: biggest story that I see happening right now. Presidents their

668
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: their job is to inspire and to bring hope to

669
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: the American people, sometimes in difficult times. And what this

670
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: president does is pedal fear. Could be leading the United

671
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: States towards World War three, could be leading America towards

672
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: a nuclear war, you know, sort of doomsday nightmare scenario.

673
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: The President's fully embraced a dark anti immigrant message and

674
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: the hope that stoking fear motivated voters to reject Democrats

675
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: pose a profound danger to every single person in this

676
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: country and literally every inhabitant of the planet Earth. As

677
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: you're at the polls today, my friends, although I know

678
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: a lot of you probably already finished your voting, a

679
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: lot of you probably early voted, I just want you

680
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: to remember that the single biggest pitch the Democrats have

681
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: for why you should vote for them is rooted in fear.

682
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: Fear of fascism, fear of Trump's reckless nuclear war, fear

683
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: of Trump destroying the economy, fear in all these things.

684
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: But the same people that are constantly trafficking in fear

685
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 1: of Trump and Russia collusion and how the Kremlin's running

686
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: this country now and all this stuff, they're the ones

687
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: that are telling you, oh, no, no no, no, don't be

688
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: don't be fooled for a second by all the fearmongering

689
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: by the Republicans. It's not fearmongering to say that we

690
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: have a poorout southern border with countless thousands, hundreds of

691
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: thousands of people coming in year and year out are

692
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: not supposed to It's not fearmongering to say that the

693
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: opioid epidemic in this country, which is killing over seventy

694
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: thousand people a year, is primarily supplied by cartels working

695
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: across the border and poisoning our brothers and sisters, mothers

696
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: and fathers and husbands day in and day out in

697
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: communities across the country. That's not fear mongering. That's a fact.

698
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: You know, there are some things that we have to

699
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: address that are true, that are uncomfortable, and Trump is

700
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: willing to do that on these issues. Now, the caravan

701
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: was a big media cause. Initially they all, look, you're

702
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: another caravan, women in trolling. They were the ones covering it.

703
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: Trump didn't make this an issue. Trump didn't make seven

704
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: thousand people come together and across from Guatemalan to Mexico

705
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. Clearly not but it's indicative. The

706
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: reason the media gets so upset out about this is

707
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 1: what it does is show you that they are not willing,

708
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: They are not open and honest about the fact that

709
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 1: they really want the whole caravan to come into the country.

710
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 1: They want to see the caravan in the United States,

711
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: they want to see more of them. I mean, the

712
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: Democrats are an extremist party on immigration. Now, extremist. The

713
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: same way that when you talk to Democrats about abortion,

714
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: you know, do you realize, oh wow, they they just

715
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: it's everything or it's nothing with them. I mean that

716
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: they're they're making no distinctions whatsoever. There's absolutely no willingness

717
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: to take a moderate or middle position on this. Anything's

718
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: true with immigration. What is acceptable to the left when

719
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: it comes to immigration amnesty? What is acceptable when it

720
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: comes to the to the left and people crossing our

721
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: southern border, anyone can claim asylum. Anyone gets to come

722
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: in the country. After they do so, nobody faces interior

723
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: enforcement unless they break a serious Lawless they break, you know,

724
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: they commit a felony. Okay, So how are we not

725
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: an open borders country at that point? Oh? Because you

726
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: have to stop and check in at the border. First.

727
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is claim asylum, go through the process.

728
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: A lot easier to do that, by the way, then

729
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: go through the legal immigration process and all the different

730
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: recommendations and lawyer fees and all these other things. Right,

731
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: it's a lot a lot harder to do it the

732
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: legal way. So why would you do it the legal way?

733
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: Why would you go through that route? And I just

734
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: would note that you know that we should be honest

735
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: about this and not let the other side dictate the

736
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: terms of our discussion. But this notion of the conservatives

737
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: engaging and fear mongering, Trump engaging in fear mongering. All

738
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: I hear from the leftist fear mongering. These people say

739
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: that Trump is basically like Hitler. They talk about fascism

740
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: coming to America, and anybody, and I know this audience

741
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: is very historically attuned. Anybody knows anything about fascist, knows

742
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: what's a terrifying thing. If that were true, it's nonsense,

743
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: but some people believe it, some people buy into it,

744
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: and those people happen to be Democrats, and those people

745
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: cannot be reasoned with on the policy matters we've been

746
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: discussing here on the show. Those people have really they've

747
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: lost it. As I've been telling you. By the way,

748
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: you got another thing here with with Biden. Um Biden

749
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: is saying that you know, this is gonna this is

750
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: gonna put the brakes on Trump and and we're gonna

751
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: stop all the meanness and all the bad stuff. Producer

752
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: Mike pulled together this this montage of former Vice President

753
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 1: Joe Biden with what he says now about how he's

754
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna restore civility and stop Trump from

755
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: being such a racist and all this stuff to the

756
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,240
Speaker 1: kind of stuff he said in the past. Play clip eleven.

757
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: And this is the single most important off your election

758
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. And I really think it's more than

759
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: just out of specific issues. I think it's about the

760
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: character of the country. It's either he is so stupid

761
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: that he doesn't understand. No, it's possible that now that

762
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: that's not really give him. It's possible he doesn't understand

763
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: the damage he's doing. But I really believe it. I

764
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: think we have to change the tone. Well, le may

765
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: say he's a joke. Bill Roth work thirty years together,

766
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: not a harsh word one single time. Can you imagine

767
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: this guy becoming commander in chief and getting one ounce

768
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: of respect from a single solitary military man or woman.

769
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: Has gotten too nasty and it's too base. Any guy

770
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: who talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest s

771
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: op in the room. And this appealed to nativism and

772
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: nationalism and a phony nationalism and racism. Is it's got

773
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: to stop. And I think this election is going to

774
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: put some brakes on it. We're in high school. I've

775
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: taken behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.

776
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: So which which is it? Biden? Do we need serious

777
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: Biden voice? I'm doing surious, serious talk about the country

778
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: and the future. And you know, or am I like,

779
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, hey, I'm gonna earn Biden. I'm gonna go

780
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: kick some button. I'm gonna I'm Mr. Tough guy and

781
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: Trumps a buffoon? And which is it? Which is it?

782
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: I would note that you know, Trump speaks the same

783
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: way all the time. Trump was the same in that

784
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: Oval Office interview I did a couple of months ago,

785
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: as he is during his rallies. Same Trump, Obama, Biden.

786
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: These guys have different acts they put on, you know, Obiden,

787
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: O Biden, Oh gosh. Biden sometimes is you know, Mr

788
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: roll up the sleeves. You know, yeah, I'm just you know,

789
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: blue collar Joe. And then I just you know, and

790
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: then you know, a minute later, he's lecturing people on

791
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: on foreign policy international relations because he thinks that he's

792
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: connecting to different crowds. Obama, I mean, you know, Obama

793
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: changes his cadence, his tone, and all kinds of things

794
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: depending on what he thinks is most useful in the moment. Now,

795
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: you can say that's just being a good politician, but

796
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: I would say it's a little phony, isn't it. Trump's

797
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: the same all the time. You got the same Trump

798
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 1: any time a day. But you know, I really don't

799
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: appreciate hearing from the left. You know the same people

800
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: that were trying to tell us a couple of months

801
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 1: ago that Justice Kavanaugh was a teenage gang rapist. Now

802
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: want to lecture us on civility. Now, want to tell

803
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: us that Trump's tone has to change. I remember what

804
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: they were doing to Kavanaugh. I remember how the left

805
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: was playing that game, and I am not going to

806
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 1: forget any time. And I really hope that people remember

807
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: today as they cast their ballots, because the left showed

808
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: you who they were during that fiasco, and it was ugly.

809
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 1: It was disgusting, and it was disgraceful. So yeah, vote

810
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 1: Republican team. You know, I'm all about Black Rifle coffee.

811
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: I drink it every single morning. You know, I get

812
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: up super early. But Black Rifle is a delicious kickstar

813
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: to all my days activities. And it's not one of

814
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: these corporate slash comie coffee companies that are out there

815
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: that try to do all this left wing bias training

816
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: nonsense are always trying to stand ahead of the rest

817
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: of the progressive crowd and seem like their virtue signaling.

818
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: Forget all that garbage. Go with a coffee company founded

819
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: and operated by United States veterans. It's a company that

820
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,720
Speaker 1: loves freedom and America. Black Rifle Coffee is the only

821
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: company out there that's a coffee company that gives a

822
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: portion of its sales to veteran and first responder causes.

828
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: be shocked anymore by the overt racism that we have

829
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: seen either from the President of the United States or

830
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 1: Republicans who are trying to win election. They are pulling

831
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 1: out the stops in Georgia to try to keep Stacy

832
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: Abrams from winning the election if they vote Republican. They

833
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: are saying, we are okay with the message coming from

834
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: this party. We are okay with the president using racism

835
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: against migrants coming from Central America. We are okay with

836
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 1: a gubernatorial candidate who is putting out tweets that are

837
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: clearly about inciting fear among white voters to keep them

838
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: from voting for for Stacy Abrams. So this is about

839
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: the direction of the country and who we are as

840
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: a people in Georgia. Tonight has an opportunity to say that, um,

841
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: the Georgia of gone with the win is gone with

842
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: the win. How does the left of find racism? Because

843
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm really sick of them throwing this term around all

844
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: the time. I mean, it's just it's it's really a

845
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: central theme of every political conversation, it seems on the

846
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 1: left has to tie into race. It's just it all

847
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: comes back down to race, it all comes back down

848
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: to any politics, and they keep saying racist. And what

849
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 1: I think is so interesting is they never have to

850
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: define what racism really is. What do they think racism is?

851
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: I've always operated with the following definition in mind. I

852
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: know that there's some you know, some gray areas here,

853
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: but racism to me being or thinking of people differently

854
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: because of their skin color or race. That that's what

855
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: racism is. It's pretty straightforward. To the left. Racism is

856
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: you don't want unrestricted immigration across our southern border, therefore

857
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: you are racist, and you say yourself, We'll hold on

858
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: a second. If there was unrestricted immigration coming from north

859
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: of our border, I'd have a problem with that too.

860
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: I just don't want people coming into this country who

861
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: aren't obeying our laws and shouldn't be in the country.

862
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't care where they come from. I'm not advocating

863
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: for unrestricted Irish immigration to this country, even though I'm

864
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: about half Irish, probably more Native American than Elizabeth Warren,

865
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: but I'm about half Irish. Um, you know, so so

866
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: what when they call that racist? To me, that's just

867
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: a smear. It's unfair, it's it's a lie. It's destructive,

868
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 1: and I I really get sick of it, and I

869
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: think we all should be sick of it. I think

870
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 1: that we all should call this out more than we do,

871
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: because they keep they keep saying Trump is racist. I

872
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: mean there are some you know, I would like to

873
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: have this conversation with some of these big pundits and

874
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: really be able to drill down into this because the

875
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: questions that I would ask them, and that was Jonathan

876
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: cape Part is a Washington Post writer. I believe in

877
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: an MSNBC contributor, I would ask k Part would ask me,

878
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: I can't even think of all the punnits that say

879
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,439
Speaker 1: Trump's racist, because they all say he's racists on the left.

880
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they're that's one of their favorite talking points.

881
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: But I'd say, okay, so what exactly are you saying?

882
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: You're saying that Trump is the claim that Trump doesn't

883
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: like people who are not white? Is that really and

884
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: and and if they believe, and I think some of

885
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: them would say yes, But I want to know what

886
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: evidence do you have for that? Do you think the

887
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: president's lyne when he clearly gets up in front of

888
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: people time and time again and and has a real

889
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: pride that beams from his face when he talks about

890
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: black unemployment at a historic low, Hispanic unemployment at historic low.

891
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, do these leftists really think that when President

892
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: Trump has, you know, young black conservatives as recently happened

893
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: at the White House, right, they had that whole group

894
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: that came into young Black conservatives when they want to

895
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: come in and talk to the president, they're so excited

896
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: to see him. Do liberals really believe that the President's thinking, well,

897
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, these aren't these aren't my kind of people

898
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: or something? Even? Maybe what much worse than that, Because

899
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: if they do, I think they're delusional. I think they're crazy.

900
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: And I think that this old model that the Democrats

901
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: still run with of telling everybody all the time that

902
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: everything is racist, is running out of steam. I mean,

903
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: we're all pretty sick of it. One thing that I

904
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: don't think the Left has come to grips with yet

905
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: is that one of the reasons we have Trump as

906
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: president is we're all so sick of being told that everything,

907
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: and particularly every Republican is racist. Everything is racist, everything

908
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: is racial all the time. Every Conservative that I know

909
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: and consider a friend or colleague speaks about individuals and

910
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: race relations in in tones that are very similar to

911
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: the way I do, which is that we view people

912
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 1: as people, and every you know, there are some people

913
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: who are great, some people who are bad, some people

914
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 1: who are smart, some people who are dumb. That's true,

915
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: people of all racist ethnicies and backgrounds, And it is

916
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 1: a moral and logical fallacy to judge an individual by

917
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: skin color. Meanwhile, the left wants to judge people by

918
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: skin color all the time. The left looks at your

919
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: skin color and says, you better be a Democrat. The

920
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:15,919
Speaker 1: left looks at your skin color and says you must

921
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: have been oppressed. Let's help you get into school. The

922
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 1: left looks at skin color and says, you must add

923
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: something special into the conversation. So let's, uh, let's give

924
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: you this government contract or you know whatever. Right they

925
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: believe in a racial entitlement state. And yet they tell

926
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: us that we're the ones who are so racist all

927
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: the time, if there were hordes, I mean, this is

928
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: this is where the left really falls apart. And and

929
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: they never are forced to really answer this question. None

930
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: of their leading and I was gonna say intellectuals, that's

931
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: almost hard for me to say out loud. But none

932
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: of their leading voices, loudest, whiniest pundits and writers on

933
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: the left ever have to grab all this. Is there

934
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: a position really that they think that rump voters and

935
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: remember Trump only was able to win because a lot

936
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: of Obama voters actually voted for Trump. A lot of

937
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: Obama voting areas of the country, in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin

938
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:16,399
Speaker 1: voted for Trump. Their position is that if it were

939
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: millions of people coming into the country who didn't speak English, uh,

940
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: we're impoverished and we're breaking the law. But they had

941
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: lighter skin color, that the Republican Party would be excited

942
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: about it, that that Republicans would be fine with this.

943
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: They they may believe that, but that's bull crap and

944
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's not about skin color, but they try

945
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: to make it about skin color in the conversation so

946
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: that they can morally blackmail us and saying, Okay, you're right.

947
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: We we don't have the right to sovereignty. We don't

948
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: have the right to secure our borders. I've heard Trump

949
00:53:55,600 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: called racist so many times that I'm most number to

950
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: it at this point. I mean, people are slipping into

951
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 1: conversation on different TV shows and it's it's like it's

952
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: part of his title. Now if you're a Democrat, Oh yeah,

953
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: our racist President Trump. They just say it all the time.

954
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 1: And when I asked them, why is he racist again,

955
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 1: they say, oh, they always pray, they say, well, charlotte Ville,

956
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: he said there's good people on both sides. He misspoke.

957
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: He wasn't trying to say that Neo Nazis were okay,

958
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 1: And anybody who actually pays attention to the circumstances of

959
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: the conversation knows that I'm not saying what he said

960
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 1: was okay. I'm saying he misspoke. He was talking about

961
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: the fight over the monument, should the monuments stay or not?

962
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: And he got convoluted. And then he condemned a thousand

963
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:40,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for people say, oh, we didn't

964
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: misspeak buck Well, Yeah, he condemned the the other the

965
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 1: the Tiki Torch mafia a bunch of times afterward. Their losers,

966
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: and he condemned them in a very Trumpian way. They're losers,

967
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: these are these are people that we shouldn't listen to.

968
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 1: They're irrelevant, they're clowns, are losers, they're jokes. But none

969
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: of that matters, right, All that matters is that he

970
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: missed boke once and now we're supposed to always and

971
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: forever believe that he's a racist. It's just nobody that

972
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: I know who knows this president. And I know people

973
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: that know him very well personally. And I've known the family,

974
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: although not super well, but I've known the family stretching

975
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 1: back now for gosh, I don't know, twenty years over

976
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: twenty years. I first met the Trump's when I was fourteen.

977
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: I think New York guys not a racist, all right,

978
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: He's a New Yorker. He's like me. You live in

979
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: New York. You get used to you like people who

980
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: they are. You don't care where they're from. You get

981
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 1: brilliant people from all over the world, you get idiots

982
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: from all over the world. It doesn't matter. You just

983
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: take people as people. You're surrounded by. You know, more

984
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: diversity than you know anywhere else you could ever imagine.

985
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: But they want to believe that Trump is a racist.

986
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: They're really dedicated to this idea that the President United

987
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: States is raised. It is so destructive, my friends, and

988
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: really makes me so angry. A little bit of surprising

989
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 1: political stuff coming today from none other than than Axel Rose.

990
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: And you know, for those who who you know, those

991
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: of you who are a little on the young side,

992
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: you may not know really who Axel Rose is, because

993
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,439
Speaker 1: he was a huge deal really in the eighties and

994
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: he is the lead singer of the band Gun was

995
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: is uh I guess was Guns and Roses. And he

996
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: went after Trump today and we happened to have a

997
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: a Axel Rose expert of sorts with us Brandon DJ Brandon,

998
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 1: who runs the board, is an expert in all things

999
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: accel Rose Brandon walk us through this feud with the

1000
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: former G and R frontman and Trump. Well he is

1001
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: the current G and R frontman. Oh, gene are still

1002
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: a thing, so you don't even know that they well

1003
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: to make it sure they reunited and I guess had

1004
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: the fourth most successful tour of all time last year.

1005
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: But wait, are you serious they're actually doing well. That's

1006
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,399
Speaker 1: amazing because it's tell you what the state of music

1007
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: is today. Now now they're they're alive and well, now

1008
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: it's amazing. But um axcel is. He tweets very few

1009
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:12,320
Speaker 1: in farm between, he doesn't follow anybody, usually not being important,

1010
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: but lately he's been very political and recently he went

1011
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: on kind of like a tirade for the first time

1012
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: really coming calling out Trump supporters and saying that it's

1013
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: okay that he can't uh pick his fans uh and

1014
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: basically says the White House is uh, it's an emergency state.

1015
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: And he's tweeted him voting, putting in his his envelope

1016
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: out there and you know, vote blue. So he's uh,

1017
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: he's attacking Donald Trump and the entire administration. Says that

1018
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: represents all of guns and roses. That's how they feel.

1019
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: And that started because sweet child the Mind has been

1020
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: played at Trump rallies and he can't do a season

1021
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: desist because of some sort of loophole. Here here's what

1022
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: he says about it, actually tweeted out. Unfortunately, Trump campaign

1023
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: is using loopholes and the various venues blanket performance licenses

1024
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: which were not intended for such craz even political purposes,

1025
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: without the songwriter's consent. So, as I understand it, if

1026
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: you are in an arena, the arena has the rights

1027
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: to music that it can play, and the venue can

1028
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: play the music without anyone say so under the licenses

1029
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: that they have, because usually they license out these music

1030
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: catalogs to uh, you know, to like the Staples Center

1031
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: or whatever, and they figure they're gonna be played mostly

1032
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: at other concerts of sporting events, so no one really cares.

1033
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: But for political events now they play them, and I

1034
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: gotta say, I like this. Trump is clearly the more

1035
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: of these artists complain about it, the more Trump is

1036
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Why not why not troll? Why not troll?

1037
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: Beyonce and Rihanna and Axel Rose. Why not. It's it's

1038
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: quite amazing. And I see the comments of the fans,

1039
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: people saying, you know, I've been a fan all my

1040
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: life and now I'm not so But he's putting his

1041
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: his foot down. He doesn't care. It's the same you know,

1042
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: a line of thinking as Bruce Springsteen or Green Day.

1043
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: They're just he's put putting his political views out there.

1044
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: I think everybody and Energy Aiment should take the position

1045
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: of of Michael Jordan's on this one, which is Republicans

1046
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: by sneakers too. It's true Republicans by sneakers to um anyway.

1047
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 1: So I just I felt like we had to because

1048
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: we do have a Brandon what your your podcast is?

1049
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: What again? It's like Axel Rose Through the Ages or something,

1050
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: what do you do close enough appetite for distortion? Actually

1051
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: my last episode we we spoke about that because I mean,

1052
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: in regards like Ted Nugent, you know, like I don't

1053
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: go to his concerts because I don't want to hear

1054
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: it being politicized. So um. So yeah, it's just, uh,

1055
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: you wouldn't think in two thousand eighteen, Axel Rose, I

1056
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: think actually Chris Hayes called him woke. He tweeted, so

1057
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: it's being taken notice by the liberal media. Axel Rose

1058
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: is woken out. Yeah, I guess he's woke until he

1059
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: trashes a hotel room and a bunch of you know,

1060
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of people who are recent immigrants have to

1061
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: clean up after him, like And I don't know about

1062
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: him being woke. I think people might wanna they might

1063
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: want to chill on that a little bit there. But

1064
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, there is there is that. Um there's a

1065
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: phenomenon that I want to dig a moment to address here,

1066
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: which is the the dishonesty that we see of people

1067
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: who claim to be Republicans and advocate voting for Democrats. Now,

1068
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: there are a lot of areas where you could you

1069
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 1: could get into a bit of um, you know, a

1070
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: bit of a back and forth on this right. There's

1071
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people say, oh, well, there they're still

1072
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: conservative and Trump is not. But at this point, if

1073
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: you want to step away, and I know some very

1074
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: talented conservative writers who can't be who won't really openly

1075
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: back Trump, well back some of his policies, but they've

1076
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: kind of stepped they've stepped away, meaning they're saying, all right,

1077
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: this isn't really my administration. I'll still call some balls

1078
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: and strikes, but I don't stand that they won't stand

1079
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 1: against Trump, but they certainly won't stand with the other side.

1080
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: I can understand that. I obviously don't agree with it.

1081
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: I think it's shortsighted. I think it lacks some judgment.

1082
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: But I do think that there's there are principles at

1083
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: work there that I can understand and respect. I can't

1084
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: understand and respect these people who are I'm a Republican

1085
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: now vote for all the Democrats. How how is that

1086
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: supposed to work? Exactly? I mean, how does that help

1087
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: the situation in any way? It just strikes me as

1088
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: being well, it's it's careerism, and it's really also about ego,

1089
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: because a lot of Republican establishment figures, UH care first

1090
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: and foremost about their position within the Republican ranks, whether

1091
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: in media or in in the political world. And they

1092
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: won't they won't back down off of this. They they're

1093
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: not willing to say, you know what I should, I

1094
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: should chill out. This isn't all about me. Here's um here,

1095
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: Here's a montage courtesy of our main man producer Mike,

1096
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: where you just hear some of this from from different quote.

1097
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Republicans play fifteen. The Party of Trump must be destroyed politically.

1098
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 1: I am urging everybody to vote straight ticket Democratic in

1099
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: November because I think it is imperative think at some

1100
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: checks and balances. I left the party about five weeks ago.

1101
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: I think Democrat should take the House, thankful, be safer

1102
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: in a divided government. Those are all people who appear

1103
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: on TV and I guess and maybe in some cases

1104
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: until recently as Republicans. I mean they come from the

1105
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: gen Reuben of the Washington Post school of Republicans, which

1106
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: is you only exist so that to bash Republicans and

1107
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,919
Speaker 1: say you're a Republican when you do it, that that's

1108
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: your thing, that's your hook. I find these people gross.

1109
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: You know, I could sit you know some of you.

1110
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: I think we're a little uh, you know you. You

1111
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: wanted me to get into it a little bit more

1112
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: aggressively with with Jank Weeger of the Young Church when

1113
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: he came on Rising, but we were having look one

1114
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: is that it wasn't a wonder one conversation. I have

1115
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: to also be respectful of Crystal's time, and she's progressive

1116
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: and she's sitting there, so it's a difficult dynamic. But

1117
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: also we were having a real conversation. He was answering questions.

1118
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he said a couple of things that were

1119
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: a little, you know, a little bombastic and a little silly,

1120
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 1: but you know, overall he was he was. We were

1121
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: having a conversation about stuff that matters to people. And

1122
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: whenever somebody wants to do that, I I like to

1123
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: respond in kind. I don't you know, if I say

1124
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: what do you think about healthcare? And someone says I

1125
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: like single pair, I'm not gonna start saying, oh, you're

1126
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 1: just a stupid commie you why don't you go shut

1127
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 1: your stupid face? Right If they say, well, I like

1128
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: single pair, unlike you, you racist Republican that doesn't care

1129
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: about poor people or healthcare, then I'll, you know, go

1130
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: to that other level, right. I mean, I I think

1131
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: that that's it's not even just a question of being respectful.

1132
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: I just think that that's a more sane approach to

1133
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: these issues. But with these Republicans quote Republicans that are

1134
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: out there, I just wonder, what do they think the

1135
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: endgame is here? Do they think that will forget that

1136
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: they stood for the party of Pelosi, Schumer, uh Ocasio Cortes,

1137
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, all all these types, you know, Adam Shift,

1138
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean, some really slimy, gross characters and the left.

1139
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: They they voted, they advocated publicly voting for these people.

1140
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: It's one thing to step away and say you can't

1141
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: support something. Everybody has that right, uh, But it's another

1142
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: thing to say, I'm gonna support your enemies out of

1143
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: out of spite, even though I'm supposed to be on

1144
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: your team. And I just think it's Look, I think

1145
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 1: that they're Republican turn coats. I really do. And you know,

1146
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: there are a couple of them who are people that

1147
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: I've considered, if not friends, certainly kind of colleagues. And

1148
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: I find it very disappointing. And I don't know why

1149
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: they can't figure it out. I don't know why they

1150
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 1: can't see what's happening to the country, and what's happened

1151
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court, what's happening to federal judiciary, and

1152
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 1: and in so many different ways, and say these are

1153
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: good things. Not perfect. Trump is far from perfect, but

1154
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: this is what we should get. This is what we

1155
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: want from our politicians and from our president. I just

1156
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: I think the act wears very thin here for these

1157
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: fake conservatives. It's the economy, stupid. We are growing, you know,

1158
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 1: three point five percent and to three four point two percent,

1159
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 1: to two three overall, my friends on the other side

1160
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: of the out side, you couldn't be too We are

1161
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: now beating three. This is the biggest single story of

1162
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: eighteen and it is not going away. The economy is roaring.

1163
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: In fact, the economy is so good, as you know,

1164
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 1: with this mid term election today that a lot of

1165
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: us around and say, what else could Republicans realistically be

1166
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: expected to do to win votes of people who are

1167
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,439
Speaker 1: persuadable and what what else could be really ask for

1168
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 1: beyond an economy that is exceeding anything that we saw

1169
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 1: during the Obama years. And we know this, by the way,

1170
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: because there were there were efforts made to excuse some

1171
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: of the weak aspects of the Obama economy. And I

1172
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: mean in years six, seven, and eight, I don't mean

1173
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: the first couple of years, by the way. The the

1174
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: greatest luck, as it were, for the Obama for the

1175
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: Obama administration was that he came in with an economy

1176
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: that was in a cyclical recession essentially, and all he

1177
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: did would spend a trillion dollars a taxpayer money on

1178
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: stuff that didn't need we didn't need to spend money on,

1179
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: and then make sure the recovery was a lot slower

1180
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: and a lot less strong than it would have otherwise been,

1181
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: by raising taxes, by imposing more regulations, by creating business uncertainty.

1182
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: But you know, presidents don't determine every aspect of the

1183
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: economy economy. You could have had a goldfish be president

1184
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: after the recession and eventually the economy would rebound because

1185
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: the president isn't the economy, right. So the thing that's

1186
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: so lucky at the Obama aministration is that because the

1187
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: standard for where the economy was was, or rather because

1188
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: the the level of economy was so low, it was

1189
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: inevitable it was going to get better over time. I

1190
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: mean it was inevitab bowl because remember Obama didn't do

1191
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: the bank bailout. I always think that that somehow gets

1192
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: lost here. It wasn't that Obama came up with some

1193
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: plan to save the economy. You know what's really interesting

1194
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: is when you ask liberals, Okay, so what did Obama

1195
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: do for this great recovery. You you know, Keynesie and stimulus.

1196
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Well even Paul Krubin. Krubin was saying at the time,

1197
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, a year or two in the Kynesie and stimulus,

1198
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: stimulus didn't work. It was too small, they didn't spend

1199
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: enough money and all kinds of stuff. We're just throwing

1200
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: a trillion dollars of your money, essentially putting on the

1201
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: taxpayers credit card and spending in all kinds of things

1202
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Democrats wanted to spend it on. Well, you know, they didn't.

1203
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: And people talk about the job creation everything else. I mean,

1204
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 1: first of all, a lot of the jobs were in

1205
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: relatively low wage sectors, so you have a lot of

1206
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: people getting service industry jobs, which I don't think you

1207
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: could say that that's something that we want to see

1208
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: as as a continuing trend. We really want to see

1209
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: wage growth. You didn't have that. But you know when

1210
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: you break down all the numbers and you see that

1211
01:07:56,680 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: there's this mythology now around what Bomba was able to do,

1212
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 1: and it's completely and cynically created. It's really fabricated by

1213
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: the left and on the left. And keep in mind

1214
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: that if we were I mean, I just want to

1215
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: I want to say this right now. This is I've

1216
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: been telling you all day to predict No one can

1217
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: predict the future. It's one of the more interesting lectures

1218
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: from Michael Crichton that I think I've told you about

1219
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: in the past, where he just talks about nobody can

1220
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:23,799
Speaker 1: predict it. And he really is somebody who paid attention

1221
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 1: to this because so much futuristic predictions stuff. For rather

1222
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: being able to see into the future is is media

1223
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: and creative kind of creative arts related. But you know,

1224
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: you got all these people go on TV, Oh, I

1225
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 1: can see the future on any number the whole you know,

1226
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: the stock market, all these things. Oh, people can no one,

1227
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:45,799
Speaker 1: no one can really predict the future. It's just assessing

1228
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: probability and then taking reasonable risk on but no one

1229
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: really knows. And you know, I think that's important. But

1230
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 1: you look at you look at where things are now

1231
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: with the economy, and here here's the big line right

1232
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: as everyone's going to the I know some of you

1233
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: are probably still voting as you hear this, although it's

1234
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,599
Speaker 1: getting pretty late, pretty late in the game for most places.

1235
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: If you're still in line, don't go anywhere. If you're

1236
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 1: listening to me on your iPhone or your Android. Don't

1237
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Stay in line and vote, please, please, please.

1238
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: Some of these elections are probably gonna come down to

1239
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,640
Speaker 1: a very very thin margin, all right, if you're in

1240
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: particularly Florida, Indiana, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, New Jersey. I hope,

1241
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: but probably not as much. Please stay and vote. I

1242
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: mean I would say, I would say, Tennessee, I think

1243
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Blackburn's gonna kick reticence, but pretty handily. So what what

1244
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 1: you what the Obama economy line, though, you know that

1245
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: it's garbage, because let's say that in the next month,

1246
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we saw the signs of a

1247
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: really spooked economy, meaning we saw, you know, huge drop

1248
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: off in the drop off in the stock market. People's

1249
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: four oh one case getting crushed. But the people always say, oh, well,

1250
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: you know I'm not in the stock market. Do you

1251
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: have a pension plan? Because pension plans are all based

1252
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:14,759
Speaker 1: on growth and earnings from the markets. So no, nobody

1253
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: is really immune from this stuff, right, The housing markets

1254
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: affected by this. Every you know, your asset prices, everything

1255
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: is affected by the market. So, and I don't like

1256
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: to I hear this from a lot of leftist will oh, well,

1257
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, only only Americans were even invested in the

1258
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:30,879
Speaker 1: stock market. It's not really true because the markets more broadly,

1259
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,480
Speaker 1: bond market, stock market, currency markets, all of that effects

1260
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:38,600
Speaker 1: every aspect of the economy. So there again there's a

1261
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of you know, economic ignorance on

1262
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: the left. They kind of revel in it really so

1263
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: eight the Obama they call it the Obama recovery now

1264
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: because it's so good, and they can't say it's not good.

1265
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: It's just they just sound foolish. If we had a

1266
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: huge correction, I promise you they would stop referring to

1267
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: it as the Obama economy that day and now it's

1268
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Trump's economy. And that's how you know that it's just

1269
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 1: it's just partisan garbage. I mean, they're not really analyzing

1270
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 1: or assessing anything. In no way are they looking at

1271
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: this objectively and saying, yeah, you know what, we we

1272
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: think that it is the Obama economy. They just want

1273
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 1: to try to take credit for something that they think

1274
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: will be politically useful for them, and that's what is

1275
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: driving all us. That's what it's really about. So that's

1276
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 1: my my message on the economy. I just hope that

1277
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: we can continue in this trajectory. We are going to

1278
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 1: have a reset at some point. I mean that's not

1279
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, I can't tell you when. I'll just tell

1280
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 1: you will. And that's just based in history. There will

1281
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: be a reset, and they will all blame if it

1282
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: happens on Trump's watch, They'll blame it all on Trump

1283
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: and tax cuts. And you know what the script will be.

1284
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 1: And that's really when I get concerned about a possible

1285
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 1: move toward real, real socialism in this country is if

1286
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: we have a huge Remember we were told that the

1287
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 1: entire global financial market almost collapsed in two thousand and

1288
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. I mean that that that's gospel.

1289
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,560
Speaker 1: We were told that if we didn't take drastic measures,

1290
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: that we would have had, uh, you know, kind of

1291
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: contagion where no one can get any credit, the markets

1292
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 1: all freeze up, and the whole thing just collapses around us,

1293
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: and we'd have to build build their economic markets back up,

1294
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: or rather our global markets back up from scratch. And

1295
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, whether that's a little exaggerated or not, that

1296
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: was ten years ago and that's where we were, and

1297
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: that's what the so called smart folks say about it.

1298
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 1: So you can imagine that right now, there's nothing that

1299
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: makes it beyond the pale that we could have a

1300
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:43,759
Speaker 1: similar problem right now, we could have a similar issue

1301
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: that would come up in the next six months, of

1302
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 1: the next six years, who know who knows. I can't

1303
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: tell you the timing. I don't pretend to be able

1304
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 1: to tell you the time, but just remember that they will.

1305
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: The day that the economy goes bad is the day

1306
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: that they stopped talking about the Obama recovery. And that's

1307
01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 1: just because they're a bunch of dishonest hacks and they

1308
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with the fact that when you

1309
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,679
Speaker 1: unleash the American people to do what they do best,

1310
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: when the business of the American people is business, we

1311
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: all prosper. And that's what Trump has done. Okay, so

1312
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 1: you've got a job opening. You want to get a

1313

01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 1: possible find you. Guess what, not smart. So you put

Speaker 1: and hope that you get the right person. Not smart

1319

Speaker 1: hire the smart way, the right way with zip recruiter. Okay,

1330
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 1: the left and the right in politics today is that

1331
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 1: the left really believes that people on the right are mean, uncaring.

1332
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:52,719
Speaker 1: We don't care about the poor, We only care about

1333
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: rich people, even though a vast, vast majority of us

1334
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 1: and more than a majority, I mean, a very small

1335
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: percentage of us are rich on the right, but we

1336
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 1: don't care about poor people. We only care about wealthy

1337
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 1: people and white people. And we're me I mean, this

1338
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: is really this idea on the left, and it and

1339
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: it continues and it for as long as I've been

1340
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: aware of politics and following it so stretching back to

1341
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: probably my high school years, there has been this idea

1342
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 1: out there that Republicans are mean. That amazing Grace singing

1343
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 1: was going on at a Trump rally that was just

1344
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:42,639
Speaker 1: yesterday out in Cape Girardo and a woman, I believe

1345
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: it was a woman um appeared to fall ill and

1346
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,639
Speaker 1: and fainted, which you know in crowd situations that can happen.

1347
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: You get overheated, you get tired standing up. She fainted,

1348
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 1: and that Trump crowd everyone there spontaneously started singing Amazing

1349
01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 1: Grace as a doctor was called in to tend to

1350
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: this person. Understanding is that the person was was fine.

1351
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't believe anything serious happened, but I just think

1352
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: it was. It was one of those unscripted moments where

1353
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: you got a window into how the people that support

1354
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: Trump really feel and who they are and what this

1355
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 1: president actually thinks. Look that the President Trump is is

1356
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 1: an imperfect vessel. You don't need me to tell you that.

1357
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 1: You know that, right. President Trump is a flawed man,

1358
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: like we're all flawed people, and in some ways he

1359
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: is particularly perhaps idiosyncratic and maybe even extreme in certain flaws.

1360
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: But he also really is doing this because he cares

1361
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: about the country. Sure, he's got a very healthy and

1362
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: that's putting a mildly ego, and he has his appetites

1363
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 1: that he uh, you know, engages and you know, there's

1364
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: a lot of things that you can criticize about this president,

1365
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 1: but in terms of his ability to hold the office

1366
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: that he does, on to the pressures that he does

1367
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: and push for what he's been doing since the very beginning,

1368
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: he's really incredible. I mean, he's he's a phenomenon. But

1369
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:12,640
Speaker 1: there's also a component of this that I feel like

1370
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: doesn't ever get talked about, and it doesn't certainly is

1371
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: not covered in the by the media, and there's no

1372
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 1: effort to provide this balance whatever. There's so much about how,

1373
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, Obama, the person Obama was so likable, and

1374
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,640
Speaker 1: they do this to people who aren't nearly as charismatic

1375
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: as Obama was. Right, They'll do this with you know,

1376
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. No, Joe Biden is so likable. Oh, you know,

1377
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 1: they'll tell these little anecdotes to really make the make

1378
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: the person, the candidate, the politician seem like they're relatable.

1379
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 1: That's that's the really the special word in politics is

1380
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 1: this person relatable. And I would just offer that President

1381
01:17:54,960 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 1: Trump is highly relatable two people across the country and

1382
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 1: the moment that you take his political positions out of it.

1383
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 1: I mean, if you just put Trump on a street

1384
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: corner talking to a bunch of construction workers of any race,

1385
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: of any political persuasion, and just talking to them like

1386
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: a normal person, would they would like Trump? And I

1387
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 1: think they would like Trump because as much as he's

1388
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: a billionaire and and is a playboy and all these things,

1389
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:30,679
Speaker 1: I think that he has always had a respect for

1390
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 1: the common man, for everyday folks. He likes them. It's

1391
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 1: it's more than even just respect. He has an affinity

1392
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: for them. He likes talking to normal people. He likes

1393
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: the way that everyday individuals engage with each other. And

1394
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 1: that's a big part of what's been so revolutionary about

1395
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: him and and so has so differentiated him from previous

1396
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,799
Speaker 1: GOP candidates. You know, it's not that I'm not aware

1397
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:59,799
Speaker 1: of his shortcomings. GE's that I think I'm over time

1398
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 1: more acutely aware of what is particularly special about him

1399
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 1: as a politician. Alright, I'm not gonna grow up or

1400
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: grow up. I'm pretty old right now. Somebody today told

1401
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: me they thought I was thirty. By the way, that was.

1402
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: That was nice. So yeah, at about six years onto

1403
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 1: that one soon to be seven. But he goes, you

1404
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 1: can't be over thirty, I said. It was a fellow

1405
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 1: journalist by the way, I said, Oh no, I'm I'm

1406
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: over thirty, all right, I'm over thirty. Uh. Anyway, I'm

1407
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: not gonna tell my kids to emulate every aspect of

1408
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 1: Trump's personality. Maybe I do need to work on a

1409
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: Trump impression. By the way, I don't know if you

1410
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: guys ever want to hear a Trump impression. I feel

1411
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: like most of the Trump impressions that I come across,

1412
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,680
Speaker 1: including from conservatives, are pretty lame, and I think that

1413
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,559
Speaker 1: a lame Trump impression is something I really want to avoid.

1414
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, but when this singing broke out at at

1415
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: this at this rally in Missouri, and the Trump people

1416
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: are all gathered there, and you just saw this other

1417
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,599
Speaker 1: side of it, which is that the Trump phenomenon, all

1418
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: these different Republicans, conservatives and people who even and voted

1419
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,639
Speaker 1: for Obama before, people who aren't ideologically on the right,

1420
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:09,599
Speaker 1: or at least not in a traditional conservative way. They

1421
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 1: want what's best for the country to you know that

1422
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: we've been so force fed. Really two narratives. One is

1423
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: that Trump is this this vile ogre who's just mean

1424
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: and horrible and lies and yells. I meanwhile, have you

1425
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 1: spent five minutes around the guy. You like him. He's

1426
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 1: a likable guy. You get the sense that you know,

1427
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:34,719
Speaker 1: he would be the he'd be like the dad who

1428
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: after school if he wasn't a billionaire. You know, yeah,

1429
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,400
Speaker 1: he might tell you to punch the bully in the nose,

1430
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: but you'd also you know, give you an out of

1431
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 1: boy pad on the back of the bully kicked your butt,

1432
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean, he's he's a

1433
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 1: guy's guy, and he's a pretty normal guy when it

1434
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 1: comes down to it in terms of his ability to

1435
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 1: relate to people. That's one narrative of the media doesn't

1436
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: give you all the other one. Also, it's just that

1437
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 1: the Trump movement isn't just about Oh, it's building walls

1438
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:02,600
Speaker 1: and ex looting people and so nasty and destructive and

1439
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:08,680
Speaker 1: divisive and hateful and racism, all this extreme negativity. Ultimately

1440
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: that the Trump voters that I know and the real

1441
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: Trump true beliers in the very beginning whether it's people

1442
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,519
Speaker 1: who are at the very you know, top of the

1443
01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 1: movement in terms of their voice and their platform, or

1444
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: just the folks that listen to this show, people that

1445
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 1: call it, people that I talk to, people that are

1446
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: emailing me and messaging me. They just want the country

1447
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,920
Speaker 1: to do well and everybody in it to be doing well.

1448
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: And they want a country that lets us be who

1449
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 1: we are and pursue our own destiny without too much

1450
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:47,719
Speaker 1: just constriction from the government. I mean, you know, the government,

1451
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 1: the federal government really is like a giant boa constrictor

1452
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 1: that will just slowly squeeze not just your funds out

1453
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:58,719
Speaker 1: of you, but also your ability to choose your own path,

1454
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: choose your own destiny. You know, tell the government to

1455
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: leave us alone. There's always going to be government around us.

1456
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,720
Speaker 1: There's this is always gonna be attention. There'll be a

1457
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 1: battle here. But the Trump voters want this country to

1458
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: be able to achieve its own greatness. And the way

1459
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 1: for this country to achieve its greatest position in the

1460
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: world is to let all of its individuals achieve as

1461
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 1: much as they can. And you know, there's also comfort

1462
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 1: and just being able to make choices. There's comfort in liberty.

1463
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: You know, this is something that really separates our society

1464
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: from any others. Many places we think of as also

1465
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: conformist and strict and even totalitarian, and that's bad, and

1466
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,959
Speaker 1: we know that that's contra human nature. But people embrace

1467
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:50,719
Speaker 1: it more than you'd think. A lot of people take

1468
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: comfort and solace in the limitations on their decision making,

1469
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 1: in being told what to do and being forced into

1470
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 1: a certain framework. There's an ease with which you can

1471
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 1: embrace being told what to do, being told who you are.

1472
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 1: America is special because we have the ability, we have

1473
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 1: the right, the god given right, to decide who each

1474
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 1: and every one of us are and will be as individuals.

1475
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 1: That is, that is the fundamental That is the the

1476
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 1: the foundational difference between US and many other polities, many

1477
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 1: other nation states, political organizations, countries, whatever, however you want

1478
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 1: to separate them out. That's very important. And the Trump

1479
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 1: movement is fundamentally about doing what is right by and

1480
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: for the American people so that we can all benefit

1481
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 1: and prosper. And it's not supposed to be about just

1482
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 1: battling for the sake of battling. The reason we have

1483
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 1: a commander in chief now who clitically battles as hard

1484
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,439
Speaker 1: as he does and is willing to fight fire with fire.

1485
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 1: Is because for so long we have been on the

1486
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 1: losing end of approaching every political issue with first and

1487
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 1: foremost a desire to sound a certain way, to appear

1488
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 1: a certain way in the fight, instead of winning the fight.

1489
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 1: And if you think that winning the fight is going

1490
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 1: to make this country a better place for not just

1491
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 1: the million Americans now, but the generations to come, you

1492
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:37,599
Speaker 1: have to be willing to fight hard. Doesn't mean that

1493
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,519
Speaker 1: you don't sing amazing grace when it calls time for

1494

1513
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,800

1514
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 1: It's an important thing. One of the obligations, i'd say,

1515
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:56,320
Speaker 1: one of the primary fronts on which conservatives must fight,

1516
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 1: must continue the fight, is this notion that there is

1517
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: an unbiased media out there and it's all just fine,

1518
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 1: and conservatives are whining about this or they make a

1519
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 1: big deal out of nothing. And yet every day it

1520
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,600
Speaker 1: seems there's yet another instance, another story, another thing that

1521
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:19,720
Speaker 1: happens that just proves the media is even more left

1522
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 1: wing in its bias than we had previously thought. Right,

1523
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 1: It just you just have more and more evidence of

1524
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 1: this that it is an overwhelming echo chamber of left

1525
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 1: wing sentiment, ideology and uh and emotions. And this is

1526
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:36,760
Speaker 1: one of the This is one of the funnier ones

1527
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: that I've seen recently. So John James, who is a

1528
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 1: I believe a former fighter pilot. He is running for

1529
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:50,800
Speaker 1: Michigan Michigan Senate and he's actually making a race of it.

1530
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: You know, people aren't really spending a lot of time

1531
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 1: talking about this when we have an African American Republican

1532
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 1: former fighter pilot. I mean, this guy. Compare this guy

1533
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 1: for a moment in terms of his star appeal, and

1534
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:06,679
Speaker 1: everything goes to Bato and you're like, Okay, Beato married

1535
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 1: rich and now wants to be a national politician along

1536
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 1: the lines of a John Carey like figure without even

1537
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 1: John Carey's military service. Uh. John James is a butt

1538
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:22,240
Speaker 1: kicking former fighter pilot, African American, very telegenic, very charismatic guy.

1539
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 1: Why have you not heard of him? I mean a

1540
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:25,600
Speaker 1: lot of you have heard him, but you know what

1541
01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean, why have you not heard of him more?

1542
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:29,920
Speaker 1: Why isn't this a bigger story? Well, this just goes

1543
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 1: to the overall buyas. But this is classic, I mean,

1544
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,600
Speaker 1: this is this is really one of these things where

1545
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta just go through life now pretty

1546
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 1: much assuming if you're in an office at least probably

1547
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 1: at home too, but if you're in office that everything

1548
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 1: you say could get caught on a live mike, and

1549
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:55,639
Speaker 1: in this case it's a live telephone. So a reporter

1550
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:59,839
Speaker 1: named Brenda Battle, who is a reporter for the Huron

1551
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 1: Daily Tribune, called on Monday to set up an interview

1552
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 1: with James after the midterm election so that they could,

1553
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:08,800
Speaker 1: of course talked about what happened. Right, No one really

1554
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,440
Speaker 1: knows in advance, but they want to set this up anyway.

1555
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,719
Speaker 1: And it's just so funny because what you have here

1556
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 1: is the encapsulation of the liberal media. I know there's

1557
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 1: just one reporter, but it's symbolic. It's emblematic of so

1558
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:26,439
Speaker 1: many of these reporters in how they really think, how

1559
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 1: they cover things, and all the rest of it. And

1560
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:33,759
Speaker 1: you know, she she starts, she's when she's leaving her message.

1561
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:35,639
Speaker 1: This is on a voice mamber. This is a voicemail

1562
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 1: from this reporter to John James's campaign, trying to set

1563
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 1: up an interview with him. And she goes from like

1564
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:46,839
Speaker 1: neutral reporter, lady voice to just what she really thinks,

1565
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 1: and you know, you the mask drops, you get to

1566
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: see who we're really dealing with here. Uh and this

1567
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 1: voice mail, I think it's pretty hilarious. Please play clip three. Hi.

1568

01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:03,320
Speaker 1: hear On Day A Tribune in Bad Acts, Michigan. Looking

1570
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 1: to set up an appointment with Mr James for some

1571
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 1: time on Wednesday for a phone interview regarding the election results.

1572
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:16,439
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna send an email over UM to the

1573
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:21,759
Speaker 1: info at John James for Senate dot com with some details. UM.

1574
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:24,280

1575
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 1: is nine eight nine, Thank you. Man. If he beats her,

1576
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 1: Jesus John jeene W, that would suck. I don't think

1577
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, though. Man. If he beats your, I

1578
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be happy. And I like Brandy Battle.

1579
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:53,479
Speaker 1: I like she's so she's so Michigander, with the little

1580
01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:56,720
Speaker 1: with the Midwestern accident, you know, the whole thing. And

1581
01:29:56,840 --> 01:30:03,600
Speaker 1: if he beats your, I don't think it's gonna happen. Oh, Man, Brandon,

1582
01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:05,920
Speaker 1: what do you think? Man? I thought I thought it

1583
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,560
Speaker 1: was great. You know, she goes from Sweet Sweet, Michigander

1584
01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 1: local news lady. He's like, oh, I just want to

1585
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 1: say up being interview with Gen James. To all of

1586
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 1: a sudden she switches into like, yeah, beep beep, you

1587
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:21,080
Speaker 1: know he said all this mean stuff about him. You

1588
01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 1: gotta be careful if those open mics are open phones,

1589
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 1: and just wait a moment, make sure you're hung up. Yeah,

1590
01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's pretty funny. Um. I will say this.

1591
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:35,639
Speaker 1: I heard today that I heard today that she was fired,

1592
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 1: and I think that that's harsh. I don't think she

1593
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 1: should get It was an accident. I don't think that

1594
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:42,280
Speaker 1: she should get fired. She didn't say Look, she didn't

1595
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,960
Speaker 1: say anything like racist or terrible. She doesn't want the

1596
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 1: guy to win. I actually don't have a problem with

1597
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 1: that in the sense that I know that journalists are

1598
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 1: very opinionated and politically engaged. In fact, most journalists are

1599
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: really activists. They're not They shouldn't be described as journalists.

1600
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:02,800
Speaker 1: If you're gonna say that that's a neutral a neutral term,

1601
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:06,800
Speaker 1: might I mean most journalists are very ideologically motivated. That's

1602
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:08,680
Speaker 1: why they do what they do. So I have no

1603
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 1: problem with that. I think she should just come out

1604
01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 1: and say, well, you know what, I want to be

1605
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 1: an opinion journalist now. I want to be honest about

1606
01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:15,720
Speaker 1: where I happen. You know, people would say, oh, well,

1607
01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 1: she can't do that, and that's her great and look,

1608
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:19,280
Speaker 1: I know it's a bad look for the here on

1609
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,759
Speaker 1: Daily Tribune, although honestly, this is the most national press

1610
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:26,120
Speaker 1: that you're on Daily Tribute it has gotten ever probably,

1611
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:30,800
Speaker 1: so it's you know, I think it's harsh to fire though, yeah,

1612
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:32,600
Speaker 1: maybe you know, you suspend her a few days. I

1613
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if she was fired. I was told

1614
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:36,560
Speaker 1: that today by a friend who's a reporter, So I

1615
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:39,280
Speaker 1: don't I don't agree with that because what she said,

1616
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, she thought she was off Mike. She didn't

1617
01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 1: say any terrible so she doesn't like she doesn't like

1618
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:45,720
Speaker 1: this candidate. Guess what. I don't like a lot of

1619
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:49,840
Speaker 1: Democrat candidates that are running, including some that I've interviewed. Yeah,

1620
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,519
Speaker 1: I shouldn't on an open mic say you know, bleep

1621
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:55,120
Speaker 1: and you bleep bleep. I hate that candidate, But it

1622
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:56,640
Speaker 1: doesn't make me a bad It wouldn't make me a

1623
01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 1: bad guy if I did so. I have kind of

1624
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:01,640
Speaker 1: a different take on this than other people. But this

1625
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 1: then brings us back to a theme this hour on

1626
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 1: the show, which is they just need to be honest

1627
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:10,240
Speaker 1: about this. The person who was saying, yeah, I just

1628
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 1: want to have any if you branded battle you know,

1629
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 1: well anythink that's gonna happen? Uh, you know, I don't

1630
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:21,400
Speaker 1: think that she is in a position to be objective.

1631
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:23,679
Speaker 1: She should just say that I'm you know, Brenda Battle,

1632
01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:28,640
Speaker 1: Democrat journalist, and you know I'm covering things from that perspective.

1633
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,439
Speaker 1: Why is that so anathemated people? She still has to

1634
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,439
Speaker 1: use facts, She still has to, you know, report things

1635
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 1: accurately and truthfully, or else she'll have no credibility. So

1636
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:41,840
Speaker 1: I believe in a total revamp of this. I think

1637
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: that the only the truth is I believe the only

1638
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:46,720
Speaker 1: journalism is opinion journalism. We just need to come to

1639
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 1: grips with that. That is reality. That doesn't necessarily mean

1640
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,680
Speaker 1: advocacy journalism, that's even a little step beyond, but at

1641
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 1: least opinion journalism. Yes, who are you, what party are

1642
01:32:57,160 --> 01:33:00,559
Speaker 1: you affiliated with? Ideologically? Where are you honest? D on that,

1643
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:03,559
Speaker 1: which is really just transparency when we're talking about the media.

1644
01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 1: I think that would go a very very long way,

1645
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 1: and I'm an advocate of it. But anyway, yeah, bend

1646
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:12,759
Speaker 1: your bad you always you know, what could he happen?

1647
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 1: What could happen if she gets fired? Unfortunately, such an

1648
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:23,720
Speaker 1: important thing, a vote is blood to his life. Just

1649
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 1: want so better for em and um feels good to

1650
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: be able to be able to say something and hope

1651
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:41,040
Speaker 1: that's inside. Go out and vote now. I'm not going

1652
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:45,960
Speaker 1: to make fun of somebody for getting emotional in that

1653
01:33:46,040 --> 01:33:48,920
Speaker 1: way about casting a vote. I mean, you know, it

1654
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 1: is a a beautiful thing that we have representative government

1655
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 1: in this country. And one of the great advances in

1656
01:33:57,479 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 1: human political organization is in act the processes involving democratic elections.

1657
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,160
Speaker 1: And of course we are in a republic. You don't

1658
01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 1: have to send me those emails correcting me. You know

1659
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We have a democratic process in our

1660
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 1: republican form of government and or in our republic rather

1661
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:23,000
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's just that's Jennifer Esposito for

1662
01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 1: those of you who might be wondering, and she is

1663
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:30,680
Speaker 1: a semi famous actress. If you've seen the if you've

1664
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:36,599
Speaker 1: seen the movie Gosh What Crash, which actually won Best Picture,

1665
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:40,680
Speaker 1: much to my surprise. About fifteen years ago she was

1666
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:43,799
Speaker 1: in that and it was very attractive. I know about

1667
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 1: her more because no, not just because she's very attractive actress, although,

1668
01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:52,600
Speaker 1: but because she's Celiac. She has Celiac disease like me.

1669
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:56,040
Speaker 1: And she actually runs a and owns a bakery in

1670
01:34:56,320 --> 01:35:00,320
Speaker 1: Manhattan that has all all gluten free goods. But anyway,

1671
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 1: she was crying there because she just cast her vote

1672
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,320
Speaker 1: and she's so hopeful for a change. And you know,

1673
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:08,400
Speaker 1: this is where I have to step into kind of

1674
01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:12,600
Speaker 1: just normal buck the dude mode here and not not

1675
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:16,160
Speaker 1: even really doing political analysis. Liberals really just need to

1676
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 1: calm down. It's it's gonna be okay. I think that

1677
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: people look and people can get very excited about their vote,

1678
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 1: and they can get very excited about different policies. And

1679
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:32,840
Speaker 1: but when you're crying tears of essentially sadness and terror

1680
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 1: as you go into the voting booth, that's not good.

1681
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:42,080
Speaker 1: Because everything really is okay. And this is a conversation

1682
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:44,639
Speaker 1: that I have to have with my many liberal friends.

1683
01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I have I know a lot of Libs.

1684
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:53,519
Speaker 1: Fortunately my immediate circle are stalwart conservatives, but I have

1685
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:55,439
Speaker 1: a lot of Libs in my life, and I and

1686
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:58,040
Speaker 1: many of them am very very fond of and I

1687
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 1: try to tell them or I try to lane to them.

1688
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 1: You know what you're getting from these different media sources.

1689
01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:07,360
Speaker 1: Look around you in your day to day life. Do

1690
01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:11,440
Speaker 1: you have friends and family members who are being drafted

1691
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:14,600
Speaker 1: to go fight in a uh, you know, a horrific

1692
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 1: meat grinder of a foreign war. No. Do we have

1693
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: a pandemic of disease like Spanish influenza. No. Do we

1694
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 1: have a massive recession with millions tens of millions of

1695
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:30,240
Speaker 1: people losing their homes, or the unemployment line stretching in

1696
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 1: the block. No, those are all real things that happen

1697
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: in history. By the way, two people in living memory,

1698
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,720
Speaker 1: None of that is happening right now. Things in this

1699
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 1: country are really good. And I would offer that we

1700
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 1: are in a more positive place in our day to

1701
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:51,400
Speaker 1: day lives as Americans now with Trump as president than

1702
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:56,559
Speaker 1: we were in the Obama era. That said, there's nothing

1703
01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 1: that is going on right now that should make liberals

1704
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 1: freak out so much. You know that there's And I

1705
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:05,599
Speaker 1: asked them too, and they always point to rhetoric. Oh,

1706
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:07,880
Speaker 1: Trump's rhetoric and what he said here and what he

1707
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:10,439
Speaker 1: said there, and my response to that tends to be

1708
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:13,559
Speaker 1: what does that really do for you? Work to you?

1709
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:16,640
Speaker 1: The answer is nothing. You know, Trump's tweets should not

1710
01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 1: be haunting these people's dreams. I really worry that there's

1711
01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:25,160
Speaker 1: a a mass hysteria on the left, and when people

1712
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 1: become hysterical in this way, their judgment is clouded and

1713
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:33,919
Speaker 1: it's really hard to find common ground and to trust

1714
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:38,320
Speaker 1: their thought processes on on important issues. So, you know,

1715
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:41,360
Speaker 1: Jennifer Esposito there her a little clip went viral, This

1716
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:46,040
Speaker 1: actress who's crying because she voted. I just want to say, Okay,

1717
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:48,120
Speaker 1: if you want to cry happy tears because we live

1718
01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:51,400
Speaker 1: in such a beautiful, amazing country, that's great. I'm all

1719
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:54,040
Speaker 1: for it. But if you're crying because you think this

1720
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:56,800
Speaker 1: is your last chance to stop America from falling into

1721
01:37:56,840 --> 01:38:01,160
Speaker 1: Trump's fascism and he's basically hitler, I really mean this

1722
01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 1: from the bottom of my heart. Get a grip, Libs,

1723
01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:19,120
Speaker 1: get a grip liberty, truth and great hair. Feel those

1724
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:31,800
Speaker 1: funky beats. It's time for roll call. Election day. Roll

1725
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:35,760
Speaker 1: call is the best roll call, well, really, every day

1726
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:37,680
Speaker 1: is the best roll call. Team always good to hear

1727
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 1: from your Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. That is

1728
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:46,040
Speaker 1: how you get this party started. Let's get right to it, Alan,

1729
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:50,679
Speaker 1: But I have to say that having Hannity and Piro

1730
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:55,320
Speaker 1: on stage with Trump is really bad optics for Fox News.

1731
01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:59,360
Speaker 1: Hard to criticize CNN when you have Fox personalities stumping

1732
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:02,680
Speaker 1: for Trump. Well, Alan, I appreciate you're trying to be

1733
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 1: fair minded, but the truth is, I think that your

1734
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:13,879
Speaker 1: distinction is is lacking some some context here. Uh, Hannity

1735
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:20,719
Speaker 1: and Piro are both open conservative opinion journalists or or pundits.

1736
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: CNN pretends that their anchors, their prime time anchors in particular,

1737
01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 1: are objective, neutral, nonpartisan journalist Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper, Don Lemon,

1738
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:40,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Burnett, and Chris Cuomo. That's laughable. They're all Democrats.

1739
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:44,680
Speaker 1: They're all operating as an appendage, a media appendage of

1740
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:47,880
Speaker 1: the d n C. Always. That doesn't mean they can't

1741
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:51,559
Speaker 1: ask normal questions. But I also am a partisan, but

1742
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 1: I can ask normal questions, right, So I have issues

1743
01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 1: with the GOP, I criticize Republicans, I disagree with them

1744
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: on different matters of policy, doesn't mean I'm not a partisan.

1745
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:06,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that I don't approach this without an ideology.

1746
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:11,960
Speaker 1: CNN is fundamentally dishonest about what it does and where

1747
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:16,879
Speaker 1: it's people come down on these issues. Fox News is not. Now. Look, everyone,

1748
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,520
Speaker 1: even if you're trying to be the most neutral, impartial

1749
01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:23,320
Speaker 1: journalists ever, you're gonna have some crossover. You're gonna have

1750
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:26,719
Speaker 1: some sense that you know, your your opinions are gonna

1751
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 1: come through a little bit of your work. But it's

1752
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:31,680
Speaker 1: not a little bit at CNN. It's a lot. Uh,

1753
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:33,640
Speaker 1: And I just think that people should be honest about it.

1754
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 1: You can say, hey, I'm a Democrat journalist, but I

1755
01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 1: really have a reputation for being fair minded, for presenting

1756
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:44,040
Speaker 1: the facts and the truth and not trying to skew

1757
01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:47,559
Speaker 1: news narratives to serve a partisan agenda. So you know,

1758
01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:49,679
Speaker 1: there's a lot of nuance here. Just understand this way though,

1759
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:51,840
Speaker 1: the idea and I actually got into a little Twitter

1760
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:55,519
Speaker 1: dispute with some Daily Beast reporter today about this, The

1761
01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:59,599
Speaker 1: idea that a journalist is a neutral, nonpartisan profession. This

1762
01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:04,800
Speaker 1: is really a mid to late twentieth century American invention.

1763
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 1: This is new, This is not This doesn't exist in

1764
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,679
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. It doesn't exist in the UK,

1765
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:15,160
Speaker 1: for example, where we derive a lot of our journalistic

1766
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,920
Speaker 1: practices and the notion of the free press and all

1767
01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:20,559
Speaker 1: of these ideas. Would it come to us, not just

1768
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:24,479
Speaker 1: from Europe and more specifically from Great Britain and there.

1769
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 1: If there's a Tory paper, there's a liberal paper. You know,

1770
01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:31,120
Speaker 1: left right people understand this. It's just much more transparent,

1771
01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:34,360
Speaker 1: it's much more honest. You know, I'm a conservative, and

1772
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:37,479
Speaker 1: I'm pretty I'm pretty hardcore. I mean, there are very

1773
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:41,679
Speaker 1: few areas where I think you'd find me deviating from

1774
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 1: conservative ideology. I mean there are a few. I like

1775
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,680
Speaker 1: smoking bands and restaurants for example. You know, there are

1776
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:50,040
Speaker 1: some things where I admit that my little, my little

1777
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:54,640
Speaker 1: inner status comes out. Um and you know, I sometimes

1778
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 1: some of the nanny state stuff, I'd start to think,

1779
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:58,960
Speaker 1: is I know you're booing me right now. You can

1780
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:01,200
Speaker 1: boo me, That's okay. But you know, I may be

1781
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:04,800
Speaker 1: thinking that soda being less than sixty four ounces is

1782
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 1: not the word. It's not the government's business. I know

1783
01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:09,640
Speaker 1: that I understand what but I'm just saying I have

1784
01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 1: a ideologically. Sometimes I see it happens you find areas

1785
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:18,519
Speaker 1: where you really like something and you are reminded. And

1786
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:20,600
Speaker 1: now these are small areas obviously, but your reminded of

1787
01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 1: Oh even I like to be sometimes a little bit

1788
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 1: of a big government totalitarian. But anyway, the CNN Fox

1789
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 1: distinction is Fox News. Anybody is willing to say, who's

1790
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:36,280
Speaker 1: being honest that it excuse to the right, and it

1791
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 1: is a conservative leaning network. That doesn't mean all of

1792
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:42,800
Speaker 1: its journals. I mean Shepherd Smith is not a conservative

1793
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: at all. I mean Shepherd Smith. You could take his

1794
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 1: show and put it on CNN and it wouldn't even

1795
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 1: be out of place. Right, Keep in mind, there's no

1796
01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:53,200
Speaker 1: equivalent at CNN. There is no show that is in

1797
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 1: their daily lineup at CNN that you could put on

1798
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 1: air at Fox News and you wouldn't say, Wow, this

1799
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 1: is like the pro Lary, pro Obama network. Uh. So

1800
01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:05,479
Speaker 1: you know, when you line these things up, it's more apparent.

1801
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:10,040
Speaker 1: MSNBC is really the equivalent for Fox. MSNBC is a

1802
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:12,720
Speaker 1: place that I think everyone at least is willing to

1803
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: admit is left leaning, is pro Democrat. You know, he's

1804
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:19,919
Speaker 1: not calling balls and strikes and all this other nonsense

1805
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:22,439
Speaker 1: that they say. As you see Alan, this gets me

1806
01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 1: fired up. That's why I've spent quite a bit of

1807
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:27,439
Speaker 1: time talking about your one message here. But I appreciate

1808
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 1: that said Fox News did censure Sewn or you know,

1809
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:34,440
Speaker 1: not censoring, but you know it's Fox News did say

1810
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:36,720
Speaker 1: that they don't like when their anchors do that. But

1811
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,679
Speaker 1: he's not pretending to be neutral. And also, you guys

1812
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:43,320
Speaker 1: know my rule applies here. I mean, I I oh

1813
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:46,160
Speaker 1: a a debt of gratitude to Shaun for letting me

1814
01:43:46,600 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: in the early days of my career filling on his

1815
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:51,000
Speaker 1: radio show, and also just for him being a great

1816
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: guy who's really honest and supportive and cool. So you know,

1817
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:57,800
Speaker 1: he's not somebody that you're gonna hear me criticizing. Uh.

1818
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 1: And you know Fox News, they they can say whatever

1819
01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:04,679
Speaker 1: they want about their anchors activities. I think what Sean

1820
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:08,320
Speaker 1: does is totally transparent, and I have no no issue

1821
01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:10,479
Speaker 1: with any even at all. The same thing with Judge nine,

1822
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 1: whom I always have a certain fondness for it too.

1823
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:16,360
Speaker 1: I just think she's so feisty. I like Judge. She

1824
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 1: really lays it, she really lays it down. Sadly, you

1825
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:24,680
Speaker 1: here end up murdering the children of Americans. You know

1826
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:32,840
Speaker 1: what's united sary? See what I mean, feisty. Remember that

1827
01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:35,759
Speaker 1: that was on the view That was good time. Adam

1828
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:38,600
Speaker 1: rights if Republican sweep is the M s M is

1829
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:42,640
Speaker 1: smart enough to stop bashing Trump. No, no, Adam, you

1830
01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:45,439
Speaker 1: have to remember the M s M is not trying

1831
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 1: to be The mainstream media does not aspire to be

1832
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 1: even handed and fair. They just say that to pander

1833
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:55,880
Speaker 1: to their audience of left wing viewers who like to

1834
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:59,920
Speaker 1: think that their worldview is in fact the objective worldview.

1835
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 1: But that is not true. That is not the case,

1836
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,720
Speaker 1: so they will not stop ashing Trump. In fact, it's

1837
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:09,720
Speaker 1: been good for CNNs ratings to cover all Trump all

1838
01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 1: the time. They've been very open about that. I guess

1839
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:15,280
Speaker 1: because they can't hide it, and because they've got to

1840
01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:17,479
Speaker 1: tell advertisers. They want to tell advertisers they can make

1841
01:45:17,520 --> 01:45:22,120
Speaker 1: more money. Nicole writes, Hey, Buck, yesterday you played a

1842
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:24,479
Speaker 1: clip where Pelosi talked about knowing how to take a punch.

1843
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:27,640
Speaker 1: Trigger warning. The dude with the valley girl accent you

1844
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:29,400
Speaker 1: can hear in the recordings does not sound like he

1845
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:32,000
Speaker 1: could take a punch, and the effort involved with taking

1846
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 1: a swing at somebody would probably exhaust him. Dude is

1847
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 1: never want to fight in his life, Nicole. I can't

1848
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 1: say I know who the other speaker was in that clip,

1849

1851
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:49,240
Speaker 1: I have one complaint. Pointing out the lies, deceits, and

1852
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:52,479
Speaker 1: wrongs the Democrats is great, but how about some ideas

1853
01:45:52,520 --> 01:45:56,599
Speaker 1: to counter their deceptions and wrongdoing. Well, you know, James,

1854
01:45:56,640 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 1: I I try to do that. UM. I certainly espoused

1855
01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 1: the policies that I believe in and and many of

1856
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:08,439
Speaker 1: them are in line with what the Trump administration. UM,

1857
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:13,639
Speaker 1: Trump administration is pushing. So I'll continue to try to

1858
01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:16,559
Speaker 1: propose solutions. I know people want solutions, they want they

1859
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:19,840
Speaker 1: want good ideas too, and not just oh there's this

1910
01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 1: So he's a busy man. He's a man about town,

1911
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:54,080
Speaker 1: an international man of mystery. But he is definitely somebody

1920
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:23,519
Speaker 1: constructive criticism if it's offered in this spirit of being constructive. Um,

1921
