Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. It's election night. Votes
Speaker 1: are being cast as we speak. Can Republicans hold the
Speaker 1: House against the odds? Can they add to their Senate lead?
Speaker 1: That and all the big issues affecting it coming up
Speaker 1: on the buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show or the mission or mission is to decode what
Speaker 1: really matters with actionable intelligence? What magnorma stake American analytic
Speaker 1: grant you're a great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins.
Speaker 1: You see to express a curriculum confidence not doing repeat
Speaker 1: the same way you when you win. Are you under
Speaker 1: that's sure in your mind? Yes I am. Let me
Speaker 1: just say why. As I travel across the country, I
Speaker 1: listened to the v I p s, the volunteers in politics,
Speaker 1: all the people who are knocking on doors, making calls
Speaker 1: and the rest, and I say to them, every step
Speaker 1: you take, every door you knock, every call you make,
Speaker 1: iver sign, you plant I postcards you've sent, all of
Speaker 1: that can make the difference. Because these are late, individual
Speaker 1: races will be close, and the outpouring of mobilization by
Speaker 1: various groups, all working together, springs from the quality of
Speaker 1: our candidates. They're inspired by our candidates, and that's why
Speaker 1: they're getting out to vote. Well. We think the blue
Speaker 1: waves going to hit a red wall all across this country.
Speaker 1: The enthusiasm the President Trump and I are seeing he
Speaker 1: saw here in Montana just a short while ago, I
Speaker 1: saw today all across this country. I think it is
Speaker 1: all being driven by the results the President Trump and
Speaker 1: our partners and Congress have been able to deliver. I
Speaker 1: think the American people are stepping up. There's upping forward.
Speaker 1: They're saying, we want to see more, more commitment to
Speaker 1: our military, more jobs, more growth, more tax relief, more
Speaker 1: conservatives on our courts at every level. And they know
Speaker 1: that means that we need to renew and even grow
Speaker 1: our majorities on Capitol Hill, and people are turning out
Speaker 1: to do just that. Welcome to the buck, Sex and
Speaker 1: show everybody. Two very different assessments of how tonight's gonna
Speaker 1: shake out. Election night in many ways, the most exciting
Speaker 1: and most boring day in politics. Exciting because there's an election.
Speaker 1: Boring because we have to hear about all day how
Speaker 1: there's an election. It's he turned out some of his coverage.
Speaker 1: It's like, Hey, what's going on over there? Phil, Oh,
Speaker 1: there's a line of people. You can only see four
Speaker 1: of them behind me, but the line stretches around the
Speaker 1: block for all this vote. I oh my gosh, hey,
Speaker 1: let's part. The early voting number is not gonna tell
Speaker 1: us who's gonna win. But really interesting back to you, Sally,
Speaker 1: you know it's there's a lot of that going on here.
Speaker 1: Um and I I can tell you you know, the
Speaker 1: the the races that matter. And by the way, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be at at hill dot TV tonight which you
Speaker 1: can also watch it on Facebook. I'll be there. It
Speaker 1: will be a lot of libs on the show. To
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
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of conservatives too. But we have a
Speaker 1: lot of libs, so just be prepared for that. But
Speaker 1: that's tonight from eight eastern to midnight. I'll be joining
Speaker 1: obviously as soon as I finish radio. And you can
Speaker 1: check us out there if you like. It's totally free
Speaker 1: and you can watch however you like. Uh, it's we're
Speaker 1: on Facebook, will be streaming on YouTube. Just go to
Speaker 1: The Hill on YouTube on Facebook and you'll see and
Speaker 1: we'll be streaming there for our election night coverage. But
Speaker 1: the other races that matter here, I mean, I want
Speaker 1: Beto to just get crushed because I don't like this
Speaker 1: media fantasy they've created around this guy. We're he's like
Speaker 1: the Kennedy from Texas or something. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: it's all, it's all mythology. The guy's name is Robert,
Speaker 1: he married a billionaire and now he wants to be
Speaker 1: a national level political figure because who knows why, because
Speaker 1: he's a true blue, true blue leftist. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like it, so I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think Beto the billionaire is going to do very
Speaker 1: well tonight. I hope that, as I've been saying, this
Speaker 1: has been really one of the only predictions that I've
Speaker 1: been consistently hammering. I think he's gonna lose by ten points.
Speaker 1: I hope he loses by ten. If he loses by four,
Speaker 1: which I think some of the polls have him at,
Speaker 1: just to know that they'll say, oh, it's a even
Speaker 1: though he lost, it's a win. That's what they'll say,
Speaker 1: even though you know he he couldn't pull it off.
Speaker 1: He pulled it off because he made a statement of Texas.
Speaker 1: So that's that allergy. Abraham's Kemp I think, uh, I
Speaker 1: think Kemp is gonna win, but it's gonna be close,
Speaker 1: very very close in Georgia. Um, I think that Kemp
Speaker 1: is gonna win. And by the way, notice how I'm
Speaker 1: throwing out all my predictions now because you know, why not.
Speaker 1: If we're gonna just get into the prediction zone, I
Speaker 1: might as well join the party, right what some of
Speaker 1: you will listen to this, by the way, if you're
Speaker 1: on a little bit of a delay or listen to
Speaker 1: the podcast, he'll already know to be like ah buck
Speaker 1: if you only knew hindsight is But I think that
Speaker 1: Kemp will will narrowly squeak it out against Abrams. But
Speaker 1: you know, that one I'm not super confident about. For sure.
Speaker 1: I'm very confident that Ted will will beat Beto by
Speaker 1: a pretty wide margin. Um. The one that I can't
Speaker 1: tell you I've got good feelings about is Florida. I
Speaker 1: think Gilm is gonna beat De Santis. I just you know,
Speaker 1: the media is a lot of attention on that one.
Speaker 1: De Santis is not the most compelling candidate in the world.
Speaker 1: I just think that he's I think he's in trouble.
Speaker 1: I think he's in trouble there. I think that mc
Speaker 1: sally will will beat Cinema in Arizona. I think that
Speaker 1: Heller is gonna win in Nevada. I think that from
Speaker 1: trying to what else. Oh and yeah, as much as
Speaker 1: I wish I could tell you Menendez would lose, I
Speaker 1: think Menda is probably gonna win in New Jersey. I mean,
Speaker 1: those are the big ones that I think people are
Speaker 1: paying a lot of attention to. UM. I also think
Speaker 1: Steve King has probably done and J. D. Hayworth I
Speaker 1: think it is I'm doing this all off the top
Speaker 1: of my head. I think he will it's Jade. Hey,
Speaker 1: what's the guy's name, you know, the guy who's running
Speaker 1: against Steve King and Iowa. I forget his name. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I think that those are the wather the way those
Speaker 1: race will turn out. But you know, you know, speculation
Speaker 1: isn't worth much the moment we have real results, right,
Speaker 1: So I won't spend too much time on that today.
Speaker 1: Though those are my buck predictions. Take them or leave them.
Speaker 1: What's at stake though, that matters, That matters to all
Speaker 1: of us. And and here's what the real choices tonight.
Speaker 1: I want to put it in very very clear terms,
Speaker 1: as I try to do here on the show all
Speaker 1: the time team, But what we have is, will enough
Speaker 1: of the country show up to out that understands what
Speaker 1: Trump is trying to accomplish, what Trump ZUM and the
Speaker 1: Republican Party United behind it is really all about and
Speaker 1: all of the good things the positive movement in this
Speaker 1: country in the last two years, Well enough people show
Speaker 1: up that want to continue with that, or will Democrats
Speaker 1: take control of the House of Representatives and then drag
Speaker 1: us through a nightmarish political no holds barred h free
Speaker 1: for all of impeachment investigations and prosecutions, prosecutions that they
Speaker 1: will trump up, prosecutions that will be very selective and politicized.
Speaker 1: There will be an effort for the deep state to
Speaker 1: now rely on congressional investigation as well as stuff going
Speaker 1: on inside the d O j FBI, you know, apparatus
Speaker 1: to go after Trump people, and it's going to be
Speaker 1: very very ugly. They will, even with the slimmest majority
Speaker 1: impeach this president because their base demands it. What will
Speaker 1: they impeach him over who knows? Doesn't even really matter,
Speaker 1: because while they'll impeach him, why they will impeach him
Speaker 1: is just a function of they hate him. They don't
Speaker 1: like the way he acts, they don't like the way
Speaker 1: he talks, they don't like what he stands for. They
Speaker 1: don't like that he holds the mirror up to the
Speaker 1: left and lets the rest of us see how ugly
Speaker 1: and cruel and destructive the political left really is. And
Speaker 1: so they hate him. That's the reason they'll come up. Oh,
Speaker 1: they'll talk about obstruction. Oh though you know Russia collusion,
Speaker 1: Oh there was there any collusion, No, but there was
Speaker 1: an attempt at attempted collusion. That they'll just come up
Speaker 1: with some construct of why they need to hold him accountable,
Speaker 1: you know, why there needs to be this reckoning of sort,
Speaker 1: and you know, truth be told. Um, it's going to
Speaker 1: get very very contentious, very angry, very destructive here in
Speaker 1: d C. And they'll be not a single policy benefit
Speaker 1: from Democrats holding the House of the next years. There's
Speaker 1: nothing that will come from Democrats having a majority in
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives that is a that will markedly
Speaker 1: improve the lives of any American, not one. It'll just
Speaker 1: give a foothold in the government for even crazier conspiracy theories,
Speaker 1: for even more insane lies about how the president you know,
Speaker 1: worked with Russia and cheated on this, or cheated on that,
Speaker 1: and all these differ. I mean, that's where all of
Speaker 1: this is heading. That's what we are going to be
Speaker 1: in the midst of So we figure out, or we
Speaker 1: find out tonight, what future or we face. I mean,
Speaker 1: I am uh, I am deeply troubled at the notion
Speaker 1: of a Nancy Pelosi led left wing house. That is
Speaker 1: just they're just looking for payback. They're not looking for legislation.
Speaker 1: They're not looking to triangulate or come up with something
Speaker 1: that would actually be worthwhile that then they could run
Speaker 1: on in actual accomplishment. No, no, no, they want to
Speaker 1: destroy They want to destroy Trump. They want to destroy
Speaker 1: all the people around him. They don't care the economy
Speaker 1: is booming, they don't care that Trump has exceeded almost
Speaker 1: everyone's expectations for how successful as presidency has been. And
Speaker 1: they don't even care that we're you know, Trump's not
Speaker 1: on the ballot. They will make this, especially if they
Speaker 1: win the House, this will be considered a referendum on Trump,
Speaker 1: because they will use that talking point of oh, this
Speaker 1: is a referendum on Trump as yet another reason, another
Speaker 1: rationale to trash Trump. You now, they will use it
Speaker 1: as another way that they are trying to explain why
Speaker 1: they're so ferociously opposed to this president and why they
Speaker 1: have to do everything in their power to take him down. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think the conventional wisdom right now looks pretty good.
Speaker 1: But doesn't the conventional wisdom always look pretty good? Isn't
Speaker 1: that always the case? Very likely that the Republicans will
Speaker 1: pick up a few Senate seats. I've been saying fifty five.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a little maybe that's a little rosy, Maybe
Speaker 1: it's fifty three, But fifty five is the number that
Speaker 1: I've picked for the GOP, and I'm sticking to it.
Speaker 1: In the House. Smart money right now, such as it is,
Speaker 1: is on twenty to thirty seats going for the you knows,
Speaker 1: switching over and going for the Democrats, you know, a
Speaker 1: net gain for the Democrats at seats in the House Representatives,
Speaker 1: which would give them a majority. That sounds reasonable to me.
Speaker 1: There's nothing about that that I think to myself, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know that can't happen. That must But but I again,
Speaker 1: I don't know. And the truth there's nobody knows. And
Speaker 1: thank heavens. Now, finally, you notice I don't talk about
Speaker 1: I mean opinion polls to some degree, But but election
Speaker 1: polling on this show I tend to st away from because,
Speaker 1: first of all, who the heck think about this shows?
Speaker 1: I mean, I would see this on MSNBC. You know,
Speaker 1: the polling about candidates from three months ago, who even remembers,
Speaker 1: who even cares? It didn't matter that. It's just a
Speaker 1: way to fill time and create a create room for
Speaker 1: wild speculation, which is what tonight is often about until
Speaker 1: we finally get some numbers. But make no mistake about it,
Speaker 1: this is a very important day for the country. It's
Speaker 1: not the most important election of our lifetime. It's not
Speaker 1: the you know that's but all that crap aside, But
Speaker 1: it is an important day because we are in the
Speaker 1: midst of a political change that was right to the
Speaker 1: heart of elitist power structures in this country, that has
Speaker 1: jolted people that thought that they were just going to
Speaker 1: continue on in their in their positions of of influence
Speaker 1: and access and money without anybody ever coming along to
Speaker 1: shake them up a little bit. And it also is
Speaker 1: I would offer to all of you listening a necessary
Speaker 1: counterpoint and even really antidote to obama Ism. That's what
Speaker 1: Trump is after eight years of being dragged into a
Speaker 1: progressive dystopia insofar as they can affect things. America is
Speaker 1: very durable, right. A lot of stuff just kind of
Speaker 1: happens no matter who the president is. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to say that and everything went terrible and no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: But in areas where the previous administration had the strongest hand,
Speaker 1: I mean in areas where they really pursued policies for
Speaker 1: it less la that was, they were wrong and they
Speaker 1: were destructive policies. They did not work out well for
Speaker 1: the American people. They were they were damaging more than
Speaker 1: there were some ways they were helpful, but they were
Speaker 1: damaging more than helpful. Trump is a corrective to that,
Speaker 1: and people are fighting furiously against it. They do not
Speaker 1: want to have to deal with the reality of not
Speaker 1: just the erasing of Obama's legacy, which is what Trump
Speaker 1: has been doing, but setting this country on a path
Speaker 1: where things may never be the same in a good way.
Speaker 1: If Trump is able to continue his work, but he
Speaker 1: needs a majority in the Senate and a majority in
Speaker 1: the House or else. All that this turns into is
Speaker 1: an impeachment battle that won't be settled until the twenty
Speaker 1: presidential election. More thoughts on this, my friends. I know
Speaker 1: it's a very very busy night, so stick with me,
Speaker 1: will be right back far be. If the Republicans to
Speaker 1: talk about the disruption within the Democratic Party, they got
Speaker 1: their own disruption going on battling their own president. That
Speaker 1: prison to talk about the economy, but yet it contains
Speaker 1: to talk about the immigration. But they are not Republicans.
Speaker 1: They are Democrats, and we are looking for a big
Speaker 1: night to really hold off the president. And it's going
Speaker 1: to happen in the house. Hold off the president. That's
Speaker 1: all this is. I mean, for all their talk on
Speaker 1: the left about health care and uh, you know, different
Speaker 1: policies that they say the Democrats are gonna pursue, at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, this is just this is
Speaker 1: just a stop Trump election, or maybe you could say
Speaker 1: it's the precursor stop Trump election to the we're really good,
Speaker 1: they're really gonna try to stop Trump, then right, but
Speaker 1: that's what they offer. Do you like what's going on now?
Speaker 1: If yes, vote for Trump. If you don't like the prosperity,
Speaker 1: if you don't like the lighter regulatory touch, if you
Speaker 1: don't like common sense applied to the very top of
Speaker 1: our government structure, then you can vote for some crazy
Speaker 1: leftists and see how see how much fune we have
Speaker 1: is that how to transform us into a democratic socialist state,
Speaker 1: much less of the ideological cohesion than you have. By
Speaker 1: the way, in many of these successful Democrats socialist states,
Speaker 1: one thing that never gets discussed is, you know, there's
Speaker 1: not a tremendous amount of acrimony and political division in
Speaker 1: places like Sweden or well more now these days, but
Speaker 1: that's a whole other conversation. Or Denmark, not a lot.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of unity and cohesion
Speaker 1: among people in those in those countries that that the
Speaker 1: left wing of the Democrat Party, the Bernie wing, points
Speaker 1: to and says, why can't we do what they do? Well?
Speaker 1: The answer maybe we can't do it, that we wouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to pull that off. And we are a
Speaker 1: country now with very little that binds is I mean,
Speaker 1: you have the left wing that just yesterday was saying
Speaker 1: maybe you should abolish the Senate. I'm seeing more of
Speaker 1: that today because why because they're not gonna win the Senate.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just sour grapes. It's just cry baby stuff.
Speaker 1: But get ready for a lot of that with the
Speaker 1: Senate because they know that there's not that much that
Speaker 1: they'll be able to do with just the House. It's
Speaker 1: it just becomes really a place for them two do
Speaker 1: a lot of hashtag resistance speeches. You gonna have a
Speaker 1: lot of that going on on the floor, and it's
Speaker 1: not good for the country, but you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: the system we have. And I mean I at least
Speaker 1: respected insofar as this is what's got to happen. But man,
Speaker 1: for an election that's not supposed to be about the president,
Speaker 1: he certainly looms very large in this one. Uh. And
Speaker 1: I'm just just one thing I want to note. You know,
Speaker 1: you never have Republicans in these congressional districts who are
Speaker 1: trying to run more like Democrats. Just look around tonight
Speaker 1: as the electoral map fills up and go, wait a second,
Speaker 1: that that guy or that gal sounds a lot like
Speaker 1: a Republican on a lot of things. Now they have one,
Speaker 1: oh man, because you realize that when when they get
Speaker 1: to d C, when they get to Capitol Hill, all
Speaker 1: these people that are Democrats that are like, oh, but
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a more traditional, you know, gun toting
Speaker 1: Democrat and now I'm from the South and I like
Speaker 1: the outdoors and blah bli blah and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden they vote like Nancy Pelosi. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't have this with Republicans. Republicans are never oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a left wing moderate or a centrist
Speaker 1: moderate Republican and and now I'm really gonna be a
Speaker 1: hard line right winger. As soon as I get that,
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. So I would just note that that's
Speaker 1: a dynamic that I'm sure is going to continue to
Speaker 1: play out. And also remember you can watch our Hill
Speaker 1: TV coverage tonight if you wanted to. And in folks,
Speaker 1: there'll be some lives on there. Be prepared for it,
Speaker 1: but a lot of conservatives to will be fun. You
Speaker 1: get to hang out with me and that I'll be
Speaker 1: starting at eight eastern tonight. Just go to Hill dot
Speaker 1: TV or you can watch us on Facebook, or we're
Speaker 1: streaming it on YouTube, a lot of digital platforms. Just
Speaker 1: type the Hill and you'll find that, or go to
Speaker 1: the Hill dot com. More election big picture analysis is
Speaker 1: on the way, so stay tuned. We have a crisis
Speaker 1: of illegal immigration at our southern border, but this caravan
Speaker 1: that's moving north is deeply concerning people all across this country.
Speaker 1: I hear about it every day. It's the reason why
Speaker 1: the President's made it clear that the caravan will not
Speaker 1: be allowed to enter our country illegally. Ultimately, we can
Speaker 1: end this crisis of illegal immigration, but we have to
Speaker 1: have partners on Capitol Hill to do it. And this
Speaker 1: midterm election is an opportunity for the American people to
Speaker 1: elect and reelect men and women to our nation's capital
Speaker 1: who will be committed to stand with this president. And
Speaker 1: I believe doing that that uh, that will will end
Speaker 1: this crisis of illegal immigration once and for all. I
Speaker 1: don't care what the polsters say. I don't care what
Speaker 1: the exit poles. By the way, ignore exit polling. Exit
Speaker 1: polling his garbage. Exit polling is like fancy rumormongering. It
Speaker 1: really is nothing. People talk about it because you've got
Speaker 1: all these different networks that are, oh, here we are,
Speaker 1: we gotta cover this thing. But you don't want to
Speaker 1: get caught up in the exit polling stuff because you know,
Speaker 1: who knows what it really It usually turns out to
Speaker 1: be a nothing burger, and it's just it's filler. It's
Speaker 1: on air filler. So if you want to hear on
Speaker 1: air filler that they'll get into the exit polls and
Speaker 1: they always egue earlier. It's just, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a nonsense, nonsense fest. But immigration, I don't care
Speaker 1: what anybody says. Immigration is important to American voters right now,
Speaker 1: and it's a winner for Trump and the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: Democrats can't win on immigration if people know what the
Speaker 1: parties stand for, if they know how these parties are different.
Speaker 1: All you hear from the left is that Republicans on
Speaker 1: immigration are racist and xenophobic and want to close us
Speaker 1: off from the rest of the world. That is preposterous. America,
Speaker 1: through our legal system, takes in a million legal immigrants
Speaker 1: every year and lets them live in this country permanently,
Speaker 1: either as citizens or as Green card holders. A million
Speaker 1: people every year. That's through our legal system. That includes
Speaker 1: a whole lot of what they call now family reunification,
Speaker 1: but it really is is chain migration. Uh, that's another
Speaker 1: You know, the terminology here tells you so much about it, right,
Speaker 1: That's why I focus in on undocumented immigrant, which is nonsense,
Speaker 1: versus a legal alien. They want to make it seem
Speaker 1: like none of this is a problem, none of this
Speaker 1: is wrong. They really are anti sovereignty. They're anti national sovereignty.
Speaker 1: And I would like to sit down at some point
Speaker 1: with I mean, it probably would just evolve into a
Speaker 1: shouting magic, but I'm gonna say some of the loudest
Speaker 1: voices the Democratic Party immigration and force them to answer
Speaker 1: the question who can't stay and why? Because if the
Speaker 1: answer to who can't stay is I don't have an answer,
Speaker 1: that means that you really want everyone to stay, you
Speaker 1: just won't say it, which means that you don't believe
Speaker 1: in borders, which means that you don't believe in sovereignty,
Speaker 1: which means that you don't care if this country dissolves
Speaker 1: over time, which is what will happen if the Democrats
Speaker 1: have their way. It's not gonna happen in a year,
Speaker 1: it won't happen in ten years, but within a couple
Speaker 1: of generations, you will have a country that no longer
Speaker 1: is held together. Remember, America is an idea. We are
Speaker 1: not an ethnic group, we are not a religious group.
Speaker 1: It is an idea. If enough people come together in
Speaker 1: this country who don't share that idea, and whose first
Speaker 1: act on our soil is a violation of some aspect
Speaker 1: of that idea, i e. The rule of law that
Speaker 1: everyone has to obey the same laws, we're heading to
Speaker 1: a very dangerous place, a very destabilizing future, to be sure.
Speaker 1: But I just think that immigration if if the pollsters
Speaker 1: and you know, I say, I'm not doing all oh
Speaker 1: this race, in that race, in this prediction, that prediction,
Speaker 1: I want to talk to the big issues I'm talking
Speaker 1: about happening to the national level. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, well tomorrow we can go over the results
Speaker 1: because they'll have results, they'll have they'll have data. Right now,
Speaker 1: it says it's just a speculation Olympics. That's what you've
Speaker 1: got going on, the speculation Olympics today. Oh everyone's just
Speaker 1: you know, this might happen, but that might happen, but
Speaker 1: this might happen. One of my favorite things to point
Speaker 1: out is that on on election day, no matter who
Speaker 1: you are, you can end your sentence with at all
Speaker 1: the pen is on turnout and people will not approvingly
Speaker 1: who are around you. You know, well, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: how this election is going to turn out, but it
Speaker 1: all depends on turnout. Oh yeah, that's brilliant, Buck. You
Speaker 1: kind of repeated yourself there, but that's brilliant. You know, Well, Bob,
Speaker 1: how's the family doing. Family's good, Jim. But it all
Speaker 1: depends on turnout. Well, that's that's that's right, A good
Speaker 1: good call. I mean, this is what you deal with.
Speaker 1: Maybe you have a lot of people that are essentially
Speaker 1: dressing up slogans and acting like it's analysis, but it's
Speaker 1: really not analysis. But on immigration, if the pollsters have
Speaker 1: been wrong, which I can't tell you now, we'll find
Speaker 1: out tomorrow. But if if, if there's let's just say
Speaker 1: that that that the craziest of crazy things happens right now,
Speaker 1: which is that Republicans actually hold the House. That's the
Speaker 1: thing that would be the outlier, the fat tail, the
Speaker 1: black swan. If that were to happen, it would only
Speaker 1: be possible if the pollsters had But I think polisters
Speaker 1: do try to get it right because there their viability
Speaker 1: is based upon getting it right, So I think that
Speaker 1: they're less infected with political bias then say pundits are.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that they don't have some skew in
Speaker 1: their view. But if the Republicans do hold the House
Speaker 1: and we have this yet again, this shock wave moment
Speaker 1: of oh my gosh, the establishment got it wrong. How
Speaker 1: could they not have seen this? How can they? It
Speaker 1: will be in my opinion, because of the issue of immigration.
Speaker 1: I think it's I think immigration is number one, And
Speaker 1: you know what I think number two is the clarifying
Speaker 1: effect of Kavanaugh. I think a lot of people, a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the kind of you know, middle
Speaker 1: the upper middle class burbs and just across the country
Speaker 1: in general. But if you're looking at it based on
Speaker 1: voting cohort cohorts a lot of people who weren't enamored
Speaker 1: with Trump and trump Ism, but who are traditional kind
Speaker 1: of right of center folks. They saw the ritualized humiliation
Speaker 1: and flagellation of Kavanaugh on national TV, and they realize
Speaker 1: what everyone in this country, if they're being honest, should realize,
Speaker 1: which is the Democrats will stop at nothing. They cannot
Speaker 1: be trusted, and they are crazy. I would immediately call
Speaker 1: the president of Mexico the president of Canada to try
Speaker 1: to amend NAFTA. We've got to make sure that our
Speaker 1: agreements are good for everybody, because globalization right now is
Speaker 1: creating winners and losers. Wait a second. That was Obama
Speaker 1: at the start of his presidency. He's saying he was
Speaker 1: gonna amend NAFTA and also talking about how globalizations created
Speaker 1: winners and losers, and that affects jobs and other things
Speaker 1: here at home, right, I mean, that's the implication of
Speaker 1: what he said. First of all. Wow, okay, so Obama
Speaker 1: was kind of paying attention at one time. And I
Speaker 1: would just note that was there ever a n after
Speaker 1: deal that Obama actually signed. Oh no, he did not
Speaker 1: sign a n aftter deal. But you know who did
Speaker 1: sign a deal on a renewed and updated NAFTA. Oh
Speaker 1: that's right. President Trump did play cliff too. We have
Speaker 1: negotiated this new agreement based on the principle of fairness
Speaker 1: and reciprocity. To me, it's the most important word and
Speaker 1: trade because we've been treated so unfairly by so many
Speaker 1: nations all over the world. They were changing that. That's right.
Speaker 1: The President has gotten results. This is a presidency that
Speaker 1: wants to be and should be judged on its results.
Speaker 1: And as I have said, all along, they hated even
Speaker 1: more because it is successful. I think the left they
Speaker 1: would still despise Trump, but their fury would be less
Speaker 1: tinged with insanity if Trump weren't succeeding so much. The
Speaker 1: fact that his presidency is as good and as successful
Speaker 1: as it is so far just further frightens them that
Speaker 1: maybe they need to rethink some of their core beliefs.
Speaker 1: And they won't. They will shut that part of their
Speaker 1: brain out right away. Oh No, that that can't be it.
Speaker 1: It's got to be something else. It can't be that
Speaker 1: maybe Trump sees something that other people don't. It can't
Speaker 1: be that there's something else at work here. That's that's
Speaker 1: just not possible. But but it is. But it is.
Speaker 1: All along the administration has known, Trump has known, all
Speaker 1: of his top people have known that mistakes of policy
Speaker 1: and any betrayal of the base would be unforgiven that
Speaker 1: it would be used for maximum political damage against administration.
Speaker 1: And so they've had to they've had to one and
Speaker 1: keep faith with the base and two uh deliver. And
Speaker 1: and that is what I think Trump has done, and
Speaker 1: that's what to some degree, the Republicans have done. Look,
Speaker 1: we we can't skip over the fact that they did
Speaker 1: not repeal and replace Obamacare. That did not happen. And
Speaker 1: we have a handful of senators that we can thank,
Speaker 1: however you want to thank them for that whole process,
Speaker 1: for that debacle. We did not repeal and replace Obamacare.
Speaker 1: And it really just goes to show you that there
Speaker 1: there can be even for a party that I think
Speaker 1: is right in principle and right on the on the
Speaker 1: core issues, like the Republican Party is, there can be
Speaker 1: legislative malpractice. And that's what that's what it was to
Speaker 1: not have not just something ready to go, but something
Speaker 1: compelling with which to replace Obamacare, something compelling that you
Speaker 1: could sell the people, the voters. Pre Existing conditions. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, this is where we get into this policy discussion.
Speaker 1: Pre Existing conditions are a very popular issue that have
Speaker 1: a lot of emotional appeal. People want to believe that
Speaker 1: if they get sick, there will be insurance for them.
Speaker 1: People want to believe that the government isn't going to
Speaker 1: allow for people to die slowly and painfully from treatable
Speaker 1: disease because they don't have insurance. And now people say,
Speaker 1: oh buck, but you know hospitals have the Yeah, the
Speaker 1: e R has to take you, but you might not
Speaker 1: necessarily get the life saving treatment you need if you
Speaker 1: don't have insurance. Let's just be honest about this. Now,
Speaker 1: how do you expand that? How do you make it better? Well,
Speaker 1: what you want is more people practicing medicine at a
Speaker 1: higher level and more efficient delivery of care. And the
Speaker 1: way you get that is by people who are the
Speaker 1: recipients of care having the power of the dollar behind them.
Speaker 1: So that means more free market based solutions for a
Speaker 1: lot of this, not all of it, because like the
Speaker 1: Medicare is not free market, Medicaid is not free market,
Speaker 1: the v A is not free market. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of aspects of healthcare delivery that we have
Speaker 1: to come to grips with it aren't going away that
Speaker 1: are not based in the group now. And if people say,
Speaker 1: oh buck, you know, try care and and and uh
Speaker 1: and the v A. And there's some some programs now
Speaker 1: that allow for you to go see private doctors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, right, this is we're talking about an enormously
Speaker 1: complicated subject. But it gets boiled down to these very
Speaker 1: ah useful political slogans by the left while the right
Speaker 1: is talking about the free market like we're at some
Speaker 1: kind of a higher lecture all the time. That just
Speaker 1: doesn't cut it. I mean, it's one of if we
Speaker 1: I will say this, if we lose tonight in the election,
Speaker 1: if we lose the House, it will be in no
Speaker 1: small part because Republicans at a national and a local
Speaker 1: level have lacked a coherent and compelling message on what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do on healthcare. They have not talked enough
Speaker 1: about the efforts to improve prescription drug pricing, which is
Speaker 1: a problem. I mean, these you know, prescription drugs are
Speaker 1: you know, when you when you're talking about the protection
Speaker 1: of intellectual property, it's not an absolute thing. There there's
Speaker 1: a balancing act here between the good that society gets
Speaker 1: in the product and the benefit that the maker of
Speaker 1: the product gets from their patent or from their their trademark,
Speaker 1: their right to sell this this particular intellectual property. But
Speaker 1: it's not an absolute thing. It's not a forever thing.
Speaker 1: It's not a you know, you developed some new drug
Speaker 1: and then on a whim you can say, well this
Speaker 1: drug now you know, for people that needed to save
Speaker 1: their lives, that costs them a million dollars a day.
Speaker 1: You can't do that, and people say the market wouldn't
Speaker 1: bear it. But even in the short term, there there
Speaker 1: are moral implications to some of these decisions. And the
Speaker 1: government is inherently involved, right because if a drug company
Speaker 1: comes along says here's my new drug in a free,
Speaker 1: free market, you know what happens. Somebody else can say, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a great drug. I'm gonna make that drug too.
Speaker 1: Oh now your profit margin goes away. Right, So the
Speaker 1: government's playing a role. Philosophically, we need to understand that.
Speaker 1: But there hasn't been nearly enough push on that. And
Speaker 1: if there's one area of regret, if there's one issue
Speaker 1: that I think Republicans have not done a good enough job,
Speaker 1: you know, look, they've done what they can on the economy,
Speaker 1: but you know, the media is very powerful on that
Speaker 1: and and the and people don't vote when they're happy.
Speaker 1: They vote when they're upset or annoyed about something. They
Speaker 1: want something to change. But on on healthcare, you know,
Speaker 1: they they they didn't repeal and replace Obamacare. I know
Speaker 1: they'd say they didn't have the sixty votes for a supermajority,
Speaker 1: but they couldn't even get the fifty one votes as
Speaker 1: a budgetary measure. John McCain, you know, cast that final
Speaker 1: vote against it and and killed the deal or killed
Speaker 1: the bill. It wasn't a deal as a bill. But
Speaker 1: there's there has not been a a strong enough message
Speaker 1: on that issue. And it just makes me furious because
Speaker 1: the Democrats, look, they're going for single pair now because Obama.
Speaker 1: If Obamacare was so great, why are they talking about
Speaker 1: a single payer Obamacare is not great. First of all,
Speaker 1: only really affects a pretty small center to the overall population.
Speaker 1: And it's very expensive, very low quality healthcare that people
Speaker 1: who really can't afford to subsidize it or subsidizing. And
Speaker 1: if you make forty to seventy thousand dollars a year
Speaker 1: Obama and you're in the individual market, Obamacare is probably
Speaker 1: a very bad deal for you. If you make you know,
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars a year in the individual market, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe now you're you're in a better position. But okay,
Speaker 1: I mean we're not. We're not talking about a clear
Speaker 1: trade off of nothing but good stuff here. And some
Speaker 1: people are suffering because of it, and they're not suffering
Speaker 1: because of decisions that they've made. They're suffering because of
Speaker 1: the decisions that the government's made. You know, a healthcare
Speaker 1: system where the dollar follows the consumer, where you have choice,
Speaker 1: where you have the ability to find the care that
Speaker 1: you want and get the best price for it, and
Speaker 1: the government regulation is altered so that we don't have
Speaker 1: these essentially these you know, legal cartels that are still uh,
Speaker 1: you know, still trying to do everything they can to
Speaker 1: protect even you know, decades later, whatever patents they have
Speaker 1: in place and everything else. You know, the fact that
Speaker 1: drugs for things like um or rather procedures like dialysis
Speaker 1: are you know, so lobbyist intensive, and there's so much
Speaker 1: stuff that goes on behind the scenes that's not free market.
Speaker 1: We need to clear it out. We need transparency, We
Speaker 1: need the individuals to have control of the dollars, and
Speaker 1: we also need to have a whole And this is
Speaker 1: a discussion that I know people don't necessarily want to have.
Speaker 1: We don't have a national level discussion about how you know,
Speaker 1: what the truth is, everybody's health is in their own hands.
Speaker 1: Now what I I don't mean that you know, you're
Speaker 1: if you get sick. And I'm somebody who's dealt with
Speaker 1: all kinds of really freakish, out of the blue ailments
Speaker 1: over the course of my life, you know, Celiac disease
Speaker 1: being the one I've talked about the most. But just
Speaker 1: I deal with all kinds of stuff. I know you
Speaker 1: have to. I'm not saying you're responsible for your health
Speaker 1: is in like it's your it's your fault you get
Speaker 1: the flu. What I'm saying is your health and wellness
Speaker 1: is really up to you. The government will not make
Speaker 1: you healthy, The government will not make you well. This
Speaker 1: needs to know. We keep thinking, oh, if we have
Speaker 1: health care, it's all gonna be okay. No, it's not
Speaker 1: all gonna be okay just because you have health care
Speaker 1: that the government gives you, that the government says you
Speaker 1: can have. Health, like so many other things in our lives,
Speaker 1: is an active process that should be left to the
Speaker 1: greatest degree possible to the individual, of course, working with
Speaker 1: doctors and experts. But you've got to you've got to
Speaker 1: take control of and and that's why a market that
Speaker 1: more accurately reflects I mean right now, it's you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta go see a doctor. I'll I'll go see
Speaker 1: somebody and I'll pay the cope and they'll tell me
Speaker 1: what to do. All right, Well, that that's good when
Speaker 1: you need it. But there's a lot more to it
Speaker 1: than just that. I know, I'm kind of getting a
Speaker 1: little bit off the off the initial topic of the policy.
Speaker 1: But once again, vote Republican because the Democrats are nuts,
Speaker 1: and even on healthcare, they don't have the solutions. They
Speaker 1: just have the slogans. You don't want that. Online security
Speaker 1: is essential. I am buying things online all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm using sensitive information for banking, for credit cards,

Speaker 1: the lying and the hatred. President and his team are
Speaker 1: trying to drive up fear and rage when it comes
Speaker 1: to these margarints coming up from Central America towards the
Speaker 1: US border. Power to destroy this planet that's in the
Speaker 1: finger of a presidented States and the President Trump holding
Speaker 1: rallies all over the country thinking to new loads with
Speaker 1: his line and fear mongering. This is why questions about
Speaker 1: his fitness for office are so urgent. This is the
Speaker 1: biggest story that I see happening right now. Presidents their
Speaker 1: their job is to inspire and to bring hope to
Speaker 1: the American people, sometimes in difficult times. And what this
Speaker 1: president does is pedal fear. Could be leading the United
Speaker 1: States towards World War three, could be leading America towards
Speaker 1: a nuclear war, you know, sort of doomsday nightmare scenario.
Speaker 1: The President's fully embraced a dark anti immigrant message and
Speaker 1: the hope that stoking fear motivated voters to reject Democrats
Speaker 1: pose a profound danger to every single person in this
Speaker 1: country and literally every inhabitant of the planet Earth. As
Speaker 1: you're at the polls today, my friends, although I know
Speaker 1: a lot of you probably already finished your voting, a
Speaker 1: lot of you probably early voted, I just want you
Speaker 1: to remember that the single biggest pitch the Democrats have
Speaker 1: for why you should vote for them is rooted in fear.
Speaker 1: Fear of fascism, fear of Trump's reckless nuclear war, fear
Speaker 1: of Trump destroying the economy, fear in all these things.
Speaker 1: But the same people that are constantly trafficking in fear
Speaker 1: of Trump and Russia collusion and how the Kremlin's running
Speaker 1: this country now and all this stuff, they're the ones
Speaker 1: that are telling you, oh, no, no no, no, don't be
Speaker 1: don't be fooled for a second by all the fearmongering
Speaker 1: by the Republicans. It's not fearmongering to say that we
Speaker 1: have a poorout southern border with countless thousands, hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands of people coming in year and year out are
Speaker 1: not supposed to It's not fearmongering to say that the
Speaker 1: opioid epidemic in this country, which is killing over seventy
Speaker 1: thousand people a year, is primarily supplied by cartels working
Speaker 1: across the border and poisoning our brothers and sisters, mothers
Speaker 1: and fathers and husbands day in and day out in
Speaker 1: communities across the country. That's not fear mongering. That's a fact.
Speaker 1: You know, there are some things that we have to
Speaker 1: address that are true, that are uncomfortable, and Trump is
Speaker 1: willing to do that on these issues. Now, the caravan
Speaker 1: was a big media cause. Initially they all, look, you're
Speaker 1: another caravan, women in trolling. They were the ones covering it.
Speaker 1: Trump didn't make this an issue. Trump didn't make seven
Speaker 1: thousand people come together and across from Guatemalan to Mexico
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. Clearly not but it's indicative. The
Speaker 1: reason the media gets so upset out about this is
Speaker 1: what it does is show you that they are not willing,
Speaker 1: They are not open and honest about the fact that
Speaker 1: they really want the whole caravan to come into the country.
Speaker 1: They want to see the caravan in the United States,
Speaker 1: they want to see more of them. I mean, the
Speaker 1: Democrats are an extremist party on immigration. Now, extremist. The
Speaker 1: same way that when you talk to Democrats about abortion,
Speaker 1: you know, do you realize, oh wow, they they just
Speaker 1: it's everything or it's nothing with them. I mean that
Speaker 1: they're they're making no distinctions whatsoever. There's absolutely no willingness
Speaker 1: to take a moderate or middle position on this. Anything's
Speaker 1: true with immigration. What is acceptable to the left when
Speaker 1: it comes to immigration amnesty? What is acceptable when it
Speaker 1: comes to the to the left and people crossing our
Speaker 1: southern border, anyone can claim asylum. Anyone gets to come
Speaker 1: in the country. After they do so, nobody faces interior
Speaker 1: enforcement unless they break a serious Lawless they break, you know,
Speaker 1: they commit a felony. Okay, So how are we not
Speaker 1: an open borders country at that point? Oh? Because you
Speaker 1: have to stop and check in at the border. First.
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is claim asylum, go through the process.
Speaker 1: A lot easier to do that, by the way, then
Speaker 1: go through the legal immigration process and all the different
Speaker 1: recommendations and lawyer fees and all these other things. Right,
Speaker 1: it's a lot a lot harder to do it the
Speaker 1: legal way. So why would you do it the legal way?
Speaker 1: Why would you go through that route? And I just
Speaker 1: would note that you know that we should be honest
Speaker 1: about this and not let the other side dictate the
Speaker 1: terms of our discussion. But this notion of the conservatives
Speaker 1: engaging and fear mongering, Trump engaging in fear mongering. All
Speaker 1: I hear from the leftist fear mongering. These people say
Speaker 1: that Trump is basically like Hitler. They talk about fascism
Speaker 1: coming to America, and anybody, and I know this audience
Speaker 1: is very historically attuned. Anybody knows anything about fascist, knows
Speaker 1: what's a terrifying thing. If that were true, it's nonsense,
Speaker 1: but some people believe it, some people buy into it,
Speaker 1: and those people happen to be Democrats, and those people
Speaker 1: cannot be reasoned with on the policy matters we've been
Speaker 1: discussing here on the show. Those people have really they've
Speaker 1: lost it. As I've been telling you. By the way,
Speaker 1: you got another thing here with with Biden. Um Biden
Speaker 1: is saying that you know, this is gonna this is
Speaker 1: gonna put the brakes on Trump and and we're gonna
Speaker 1: stop all the meanness and all the bad stuff. Producer
Speaker 1: Mike pulled together this this montage of former Vice President
Speaker 1: Joe Biden with what he says now about how he's
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna restore civility and stop Trump from
Speaker 1: being such a racist and all this stuff to the
Speaker 1: kind of stuff he said in the past. Play clip eleven.
Speaker 1: And this is the single most important off your election
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. And I really think it's more than
Speaker 1: just out of specific issues. I think it's about the
Speaker 1: character of the country. It's either he is so stupid
Speaker 1: that he doesn't understand. No, it's possible that now that
Speaker 1: that's not really give him. It's possible he doesn't understand
Speaker 1: the damage he's doing. But I really believe it. I
Speaker 1: think we have to change the tone. Well, le may
Speaker 1: say he's a joke. Bill Roth work thirty years together,
Speaker 1: not a harsh word one single time. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: this guy becoming commander in chief and getting one ounce
Speaker 1: of respect from a single solitary military man or woman.
Speaker 1: Has gotten too nasty and it's too base. Any guy
Speaker 1: who talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest s
Speaker 1: op in the room. And this appealed to nativism and
Speaker 1: nationalism and a phony nationalism and racism. Is it's got
Speaker 1: to stop. And I think this election is going to
Speaker 1: put some brakes on it. We're in high school. I've
Speaker 1: taken behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.
Speaker 1: So which which is it? Biden? Do we need serious
Speaker 1: Biden voice? I'm doing surious, serious talk about the country
Speaker 1: and the future. And you know, or am I like,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, I'm gonna earn Biden. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: kick some button. I'm gonna I'm Mr. Tough guy and
Speaker 1: Trumps a buffoon? And which is it? Which is it?
Speaker 1: I would note that you know, Trump speaks the same
Speaker 1: way all the time. Trump was the same in that
Speaker 1: Oval Office interview I did a couple of months ago,
Speaker 1: as he is during his rallies. Same Trump, Obama, Biden.
Speaker 1: These guys have different acts they put on, you know, Obiden,
Speaker 1: O Biden, Oh gosh. Biden sometimes is you know, Mr
Speaker 1: roll up the sleeves. You know, yeah, I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: blue collar Joe. And then I just you know, and
Speaker 1: then you know, a minute later, he's lecturing people on
Speaker 1: on foreign policy international relations because he thinks that he's
Speaker 1: connecting to different crowds. Obama, I mean, you know, Obama
Speaker 1: changes his cadence, his tone, and all kinds of things
Speaker 1: depending on what he thinks is most useful in the moment. Now,
Speaker 1: you can say that's just being a good politician, but
Speaker 1: I would say it's a little phony, isn't it. Trump's
Speaker 1: the same all the time. You got the same Trump
Speaker 1: any time a day. But you know, I really don't
Speaker 1: appreciate hearing from the left. You know the same people
Speaker 1: that were trying to tell us a couple of months
Speaker 1: ago that Justice Kavanaugh was a teenage gang rapist. Now
Speaker 1: want to lecture us on civility. Now, want to tell
Speaker 1: us that Trump's tone has to change. I remember what
Speaker 1: they were doing to Kavanaugh. I remember how the left
Speaker 1: was playing that game, and I am not going to
Speaker 1: forget any time. And I really hope that people remember
Speaker 1: today as they cast their ballots, because the left showed
Speaker 1: you who they were during that fiasco, and it was ugly.
Speaker 1: It was disgusting, and it was disgraceful. So yeah, vote
Speaker 1: Republican team. You know, I'm all about Black Rifle coffee.
Speaker 1: I drink it every single morning. You know, I get
Speaker 1: up super early. But Black Rifle is a delicious kickstar
Speaker 1: to all my days activities. And it's not one of
Speaker 1: these corporate slash comie coffee companies that are out there
Speaker 1: that try to do all this left wing bias training
Speaker 1: nonsense are always trying to stand ahead of the rest
Speaker 1: of the progressive crowd and seem like their virtue signaling.
Speaker 1: Forget all that garbage. Go with a coffee company founded
Speaker 1: and operated by United States veterans. It's a company that
Speaker 1: loves freedom and America. Black Rifle Coffee is the only
Speaker 1: company out there that's a coffee company that gives a
Speaker 1: portion of its sales to veteran and first responder causes.
Speaker 1: It's roast to order, delicious coffee gets sent right to
Speaker 1: your door this Veteran's Day. Get your coffee from Black
Speaker 1: Rifle Coffee. Visit Black Rifle Coffee dot com. Slash buck
Speaker 1: received fifteen percent off. That's Black Rifle Coffee dot com
Speaker 1: slash buck for fifteen percent off your order. As wouldn't
Speaker 1: be shocked anymore by the overt racism that we have
Speaker 1: seen either from the President of the United States or
Speaker 1: Republicans who are trying to win election. They are pulling
Speaker 1: out the stops in Georgia to try to keep Stacy
Speaker 1: Abrams from winning the election if they vote Republican. They
Speaker 1: are saying, we are okay with the message coming from
Speaker 1: this party. We are okay with the president using racism
Speaker 1: against migrants coming from Central America. We are okay with
Speaker 1: a gubernatorial candidate who is putting out tweets that are
Speaker 1: clearly about inciting fear among white voters to keep them
Speaker 1: from voting for for Stacy Abrams. So this is about
Speaker 1: the direction of the country and who we are as
Speaker 1: a people in Georgia. Tonight has an opportunity to say that, um,
Speaker 1: the Georgia of gone with the win is gone with
Speaker 1: the win. How does the left of find racism? Because
Speaker 1: I'm really sick of them throwing this term around all
Speaker 1: the time. I mean, it's just it's it's really a
Speaker 1: central theme of every political conversation, it seems on the
Speaker 1: left has to tie into race. It's just it all
Speaker 1: comes back down to race, it all comes back down
Speaker 1: to any politics, and they keep saying racist. And what
Speaker 1: I think is so interesting is they never have to
Speaker 1: define what racism really is. What do they think racism is?
Speaker 1: I've always operated with the following definition in mind. I
Speaker 1: know that there's some you know, some gray areas here,
Speaker 1: but racism to me being or thinking of people differently
Speaker 1: because of their skin color or race. That that's what
Speaker 1: racism is. It's pretty straightforward. To the left. Racism is
Speaker 1: you don't want unrestricted immigration across our southern border, therefore
Speaker 1: you are racist, and you say yourself, We'll hold on
Speaker 1: a second. If there was unrestricted immigration coming from north
Speaker 1: of our border, I'd have a problem with that too.
Speaker 1: I just don't want people coming into this country who
Speaker 1: aren't obeying our laws and shouldn't be in the country.
Speaker 1: I don't care where they come from. I'm not advocating
Speaker 1: for unrestricted Irish immigration to this country, even though I'm
Speaker 1: about half Irish, probably more Native American than Elizabeth Warren,
Speaker 1: but I'm about half Irish. Um, you know, so so
Speaker 1: what when they call that racist? To me, that's just
Speaker 1: a smear. It's unfair, it's it's a lie. It's destructive,
Speaker 1: and I I really get sick of it, and I
Speaker 1: think we all should be sick of it. I think
Speaker 1: that we all should call this out more than we do,
Speaker 1: because they keep they keep saying Trump is racist. I
Speaker 1: mean there are some you know, I would like to
Speaker 1: have this conversation with some of these big pundits and
Speaker 1: really be able to drill down into this because the
Speaker 1: questions that I would ask them, and that was Jonathan
Speaker 1: cape Part is a Washington Post writer. I believe in
Speaker 1: an MSNBC contributor, I would ask k Part would ask me,
Speaker 1: I can't even think of all the punnits that say
Speaker 1: Trump's racist, because they all say he's racists on the left.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're that's one of their favorite talking points.
Speaker 1: But I'd say, okay, so what exactly are you saying?
Speaker 1: You're saying that Trump is the claim that Trump doesn't
Speaker 1: like people who are not white? Is that really and
Speaker 1: and and if they believe, and I think some of
Speaker 1: them would say yes, But I want to know what
Speaker 1: evidence do you have for that? Do you think the
Speaker 1: president's lyne when he clearly gets up in front of
Speaker 1: people time and time again and and has a real
Speaker 1: pride that beams from his face when he talks about
Speaker 1: black unemployment at a historic low, Hispanic unemployment at historic low.
Speaker 1: I mean, do these leftists really think that when President
Speaker 1: Trump has, you know, young black conservatives as recently happened
Speaker 1: at the White House, right, they had that whole group
Speaker 1: that came into young Black conservatives when they want to
Speaker 1: come in and talk to the president, they're so excited
Speaker 1: to see him. Do liberals really believe that the President's thinking, well,
Speaker 1: you know, these aren't these aren't my kind of people
Speaker 1: or something? Even? Maybe what much worse than that, Because
Speaker 1: if they do, I think they're delusional. I think they're crazy.
Speaker 1: And I think that this old model that the Democrats
Speaker 1: still run with of telling everybody all the time that
Speaker 1: everything is racist, is running out of steam. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're all pretty sick of it. One thing that I
Speaker 1: don't think the Left has come to grips with yet
Speaker 1: is that one of the reasons we have Trump as
Speaker 1: president is we're all so sick of being told that everything,
Speaker 1: and particularly every Republican is racist. Everything is racist, everything
Speaker 1: is racial all the time. Every Conservative that I know
Speaker 1: and consider a friend or colleague speaks about individuals and
Speaker 1: race relations in in tones that are very similar to
Speaker 1: the way I do, which is that we view people
Speaker 1: as people, and every you know, there are some people
Speaker 1: who are great, some people who are bad, some people
Speaker 1: who are smart, some people who are dumb. That's true,
Speaker 1: people of all racist ethnicies and backgrounds, And it is
Speaker 1: a moral and logical fallacy to judge an individual by
Speaker 1: skin color. Meanwhile, the left wants to judge people by
Speaker 1: skin color all the time. The left looks at your
Speaker 1: skin color and says, you better be a Democrat. The
Speaker 1: left looks at your skin color and says you must
Speaker 1: have been oppressed. Let's help you get into school. The
Speaker 1: left looks at skin color and says, you must add
Speaker 1: something special into the conversation. So let's, uh, let's give
Speaker 1: you this government contract or you know whatever. Right they
Speaker 1: believe in a racial entitlement state. And yet they tell
Speaker 1: us that we're the ones who are so racist all
Speaker 1: the time, if there were hordes, I mean, this is
Speaker 1: this is where the left really falls apart. And and
Speaker 1: they never are forced to really answer this question. None
Speaker 1: of their leading and I was gonna say intellectuals, that's
Speaker 1: almost hard for me to say out loud. But none
Speaker 1: of their leading voices, loudest, whiniest pundits and writers on
Speaker 1: the left ever have to grab all this. Is there
Speaker 1: a position really that they think that rump voters and
Speaker 1: remember Trump only was able to win because a lot
Speaker 1: of Obama voters actually voted for Trump. A lot of
Speaker 1: Obama voting areas of the country, in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin
Speaker 1: voted for Trump. Their position is that if it were
Speaker 1: millions of people coming into the country who didn't speak English, uh,
Speaker 1: we're impoverished and we're breaking the law. But they had
Speaker 1: lighter skin color, that the Republican Party would be excited
Speaker 1: about it, that that Republicans would be fine with this.
Speaker 1: They they may believe that, but that's bull crap and
Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's not about skin color, but they try
Speaker 1: to make it about skin color in the conversation so
Speaker 1: that they can morally blackmail us and saying, Okay, you're right.
Speaker 1: We we don't have the right to sovereignty. We don't
Speaker 1: have the right to secure our borders. I've heard Trump
Speaker 1: called racist so many times that I'm most number to
Speaker 1: it at this point. I mean, people are slipping into
Speaker 1: conversation on different TV shows and it's it's like it's
Speaker 1: part of his title. Now if you're a Democrat, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: our racist President Trump. They just say it all the time.
Speaker 1: And when I asked them, why is he racist again,
Speaker 1: they say, oh, they always pray, they say, well, charlotte Ville,
Speaker 1: he said there's good people on both sides. He misspoke.
Speaker 1: He wasn't trying to say that Neo Nazis were okay,
Speaker 1: And anybody who actually pays attention to the circumstances of
Speaker 1: the conversation knows that I'm not saying what he said
Speaker 1: was okay. I'm saying he misspoke. He was talking about
Speaker 1: the fight over the monument, should the monuments stay or not?
Speaker 1: And he got convoluted. And then he condemned a thousand
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for people say, oh, we didn't
Speaker 1: misspeak buck Well, Yeah, he condemned the the other the
Speaker 1: the Tiki Torch mafia a bunch of times afterward. Their losers,
Speaker 1: and he condemned them in a very Trumpian way. They're losers,
Speaker 1: these are these are people that we shouldn't listen to.
Speaker 1: They're irrelevant, they're clowns, are losers, they're jokes. But none
Speaker 1: of that matters, right, All that matters is that he
Speaker 1: missed boke once and now we're supposed to always and
Speaker 1: forever believe that he's a racist. It's just nobody that
Speaker 1: I know who knows this president. And I know people
Speaker 1: that know him very well personally. And I've known the family,
Speaker 1: although not super well, but I've known the family stretching
Speaker 1: back now for gosh, I don't know, twenty years over
Speaker 1: twenty years. I first met the Trump's when I was fourteen.
Speaker 1: I think New York guys not a racist, all right,
Speaker 1: He's a New Yorker. He's like me. You live in
Speaker 1: New York. You get used to you like people who
Speaker 1: they are. You don't care where they're from. You get
Speaker 1: brilliant people from all over the world, you get idiots
Speaker 1: from all over the world. It doesn't matter. You just
Speaker 1: take people as people. You're surrounded by. You know, more
Speaker 1: diversity than you know anywhere else you could ever imagine.
Speaker 1: But they want to believe that Trump is a racist.
Speaker 1: They're really dedicated to this idea that the President United
Speaker 1: States is raised. It is so destructive, my friends, and
Speaker 1: really makes me so angry. A little bit of surprising
Speaker 1: political stuff coming today from none other than than Axel Rose.
Speaker 1: And you know, for those who who you know, those
Speaker 1: of you who are a little on the young side,
Speaker 1: you may not know really who Axel Rose is, because
Speaker 1: he was a huge deal really in the eighties and
Speaker 1: he is the lead singer of the band Gun was
Speaker 1: is uh I guess was Guns and Roses. And he
Speaker 1: went after Trump today and we happened to have a
Speaker 1: a Axel Rose expert of sorts with us Brandon DJ Brandon,
Speaker 1: who runs the board, is an expert in all things
Speaker 1: accel Rose Brandon walk us through this feud with the
Speaker 1: former G and R frontman and Trump. Well he is
Speaker 1: the current G and R frontman. Oh, gene are still
Speaker 1: a thing, so you don't even know that they well
Speaker 1: to make it sure they reunited and I guess had
Speaker 1: the fourth most successful tour of all time last year.
Speaker 1: But wait, are you serious they're actually doing well. That's
Speaker 1: amazing because it's tell you what the state of music
Speaker 1: is today. Now now they're they're alive and well, now
Speaker 1: it's amazing. But um axcel is. He tweets very few
Speaker 1: in farm between, he doesn't follow anybody, usually not being important,
Speaker 1: but lately he's been very political and recently he went
Speaker 1: on kind of like a tirade for the first time
Speaker 1: really coming calling out Trump supporters and saying that it's
Speaker 1: okay that he can't uh pick his fans uh and
Speaker 1: basically says the White House is uh, it's an emergency state.
Speaker 1: And he's tweeted him voting, putting in his his envelope
Speaker 1: out there and you know, vote blue. So he's uh,
Speaker 1: he's attacking Donald Trump and the entire administration. Says that
Speaker 1: represents all of guns and roses. That's how they feel.
Speaker 1: And that started because sweet child the Mind has been
Speaker 1: played at Trump rallies and he can't do a season
Speaker 1: desist because of some sort of loophole. Here here's what
Speaker 1: he says about it, actually tweeted out. Unfortunately, Trump campaign
Speaker 1: is using loopholes and the various venues blanket performance licenses
Speaker 1: which were not intended for such craz even political purposes,
Speaker 1: without the songwriter's consent. So, as I understand it, if
Speaker 1: you are in an arena, the arena has the rights
Speaker 1: to music that it can play, and the venue can
Speaker 1: play the music without anyone say so under the licenses
Speaker 1: that they have, because usually they license out these music
Speaker 1: catalogs to uh, you know, to like the Staples Center
Speaker 1: or whatever, and they figure they're gonna be played mostly
Speaker 1: at other concerts of sporting events, so no one really cares.
Speaker 1: But for political events now they play them, and I
Speaker 1: gotta say, I like this. Trump is clearly the more
Speaker 1: of these artists complain about it, the more Trump is
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Why not why not troll? Why not troll?
Speaker 1: Beyonce and Rihanna and Axel Rose. Why not. It's it's
Speaker 1: quite amazing. And I see the comments of the fans,
Speaker 1: people saying, you know, I've been a fan all my
Speaker 1: life and now I'm not so But he's putting his
Speaker 1: his foot down. He doesn't care. It's the same you know,
Speaker 1: a line of thinking as Bruce Springsteen or Green Day.
Speaker 1: They're just he's put putting his political views out there.
Speaker 1: I think everybody and Energy Aiment should take the position
Speaker 1: of of Michael Jordan's on this one, which is Republicans
Speaker 1: by sneakers too. It's true Republicans by sneakers to um anyway.
Speaker 1: So I just I felt like we had to because
Speaker 1: we do have a Brandon what your your podcast is?
Speaker 1: What again? It's like Axel Rose Through the Ages or something,
Speaker 1: what do you do close enough appetite for distortion? Actually
Speaker 1: my last episode we we spoke about that because I mean,
Speaker 1: in regards like Ted Nugent, you know, like I don't
Speaker 1: go to his concerts because I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: it being politicized. So um. So yeah, it's just, uh,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't think in two thousand eighteen, Axel Rose, I
Speaker 1: think actually Chris Hayes called him woke. He tweeted, so
Speaker 1: it's being taken notice by the liberal media. Axel Rose
Speaker 1: is woken out. Yeah, I guess he's woke until he
Speaker 1: trashes a hotel room and a bunch of you know,
Speaker 1: a bunch of people who are recent immigrants have to
Speaker 1: clean up after him, like And I don't know about
Speaker 1: him being woke. I think people might wanna they might
Speaker 1: want to chill on that a little bit there. But
Speaker 1: you know, there is there is that. Um there's a
Speaker 1: phenomenon that I want to dig a moment to address here,
Speaker 1: which is the the dishonesty that we see of people
Speaker 1: who claim to be Republicans and advocate voting for Democrats. Now,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of areas where you could you
Speaker 1: could get into a bit of um, you know, a
Speaker 1: bit of a back and forth on this right. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of people say, oh, well, there they're still
Speaker 1: conservative and Trump is not. But at this point, if
Speaker 1: you want to step away, and I know some very
Speaker 1: talented conservative writers who can't be who won't really openly
Speaker 1: back Trump, well back some of his policies, but they've
Speaker 1: kind of stepped they've stepped away, meaning they're saying, all right,
Speaker 1: this isn't really my administration. I'll still call some balls
Speaker 1: and strikes, but I don't stand that they won't stand
Speaker 1: against Trump, but they certainly won't stand with the other side.
Speaker 1: I can understand that. I obviously don't agree with it.
Speaker 1: I think it's shortsighted. I think it lacks some judgment.
Speaker 1: But I do think that there's there are principles at
Speaker 1: work there that I can understand and respect. I can't
Speaker 1: understand and respect these people who are I'm a Republican
Speaker 1: now vote for all the Democrats. How how is that
Speaker 1: supposed to work? Exactly? I mean, how does that help
Speaker 1: the situation in any way? It just strikes me as
Speaker 1: being well, it's it's careerism, and it's really also about ego,
Speaker 1: because a lot of Republican establishment figures, UH care first
Speaker 1: and foremost about their position within the Republican ranks, whether
Speaker 1: in media or in in the political world. And they
Speaker 1: won't they won't back down off of this. They they're
Speaker 1: not willing to say, you know what I should, I
Speaker 1: should chill out. This isn't all about me. Here's um here,
Speaker 1: Here's a montage courtesy of our main man producer Mike,
Speaker 1: where you just hear some of this from from different quote.
Speaker 1: Republicans play fifteen. The Party of Trump must be destroyed politically.
Speaker 1: I am urging everybody to vote straight ticket Democratic in
Speaker 1: November because I think it is imperative think at some
Speaker 1: checks and balances. I left the party about five weeks ago.
Speaker 1: I think Democrat should take the House, thankful, be safer
Speaker 1: in a divided government. Those are all people who appear
Speaker 1: on TV and I guess and maybe in some cases
Speaker 1: until recently as Republicans. I mean they come from the
Speaker 1: gen Reuben of the Washington Post school of Republicans, which
Speaker 1: is you only exist so that to bash Republicans and
Speaker 1: say you're a Republican when you do it, that that's
Speaker 1: your thing, that's your hook. I find these people gross.
Speaker 1: You know, I could sit you know some of you.
Speaker 1: I think we're a little uh, you know you. You
Speaker 1: wanted me to get into it a little bit more
Speaker 1: aggressively with with Jank Weeger of the Young Church when
Speaker 1: he came on Rising, but we were having look one
Speaker 1: is that it wasn't a wonder one conversation. I have
Speaker 1: to also be respectful of Crystal's time, and she's progressive
Speaker 1: and she's sitting there, so it's a difficult dynamic. But
Speaker 1: also we were having a real conversation. He was answering questions.
Speaker 1: I mean, he said a couple of things that were
Speaker 1: a little, you know, a little bombastic and a little silly,
Speaker 1: but you know, overall he was he was. We were
Speaker 1: having a conversation about stuff that matters to people. And
Speaker 1: whenever somebody wants to do that, I I like to
Speaker 1: respond in kind. I don't you know, if I say
Speaker 1: what do you think about healthcare? And someone says I
Speaker 1: like single pair, I'm not gonna start saying, oh, you're
Speaker 1: just a stupid commie you why don't you go shut
Speaker 1: your stupid face? Right If they say, well, I like
Speaker 1: single pair, unlike you, you racist Republican that doesn't care
Speaker 1: about poor people or healthcare, then I'll, you know, go
Speaker 1: to that other level, right. I mean, I I think
Speaker 1: that that's it's not even just a question of being respectful.
Speaker 1: I just think that that's a more sane approach to
Speaker 1: these issues. But with these Republicans quote Republicans that are
Speaker 1: out there, I just wonder, what do they think the
Speaker 1: endgame is here? Do they think that will forget that
Speaker 1: they stood for the party of Pelosi, Schumer, uh Ocasio Cortes,
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, all all these types, you know, Adam Shift,
Speaker 1: I mean, some really slimy, gross characters and the left.
Speaker 1: They they voted, they advocated publicly voting for these people.
Speaker 1: It's one thing to step away and say you can't
Speaker 1: support something. Everybody has that right, uh, But it's another
Speaker 1: thing to say, I'm gonna support your enemies out of
Speaker 1: out of spite, even though I'm supposed to be on
Speaker 1: your team. And I just think it's Look, I think
Speaker 1: that they're Republican turn coats. I really do. And you know,
Speaker 1: there are a couple of them who are people that
Speaker 1: I've considered, if not friends, certainly kind of colleagues. And
Speaker 1: I find it very disappointing. And I don't know why
Speaker 1: they can't figure it out. I don't know why they
Speaker 1: can't see what's happening to the country, and what's happened
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court, what's happening to federal judiciary, and
Speaker 1: and in so many different ways, and say these are
Speaker 1: good things. Not perfect. Trump is far from perfect, but
Speaker 1: this is what we should get. This is what we
Speaker 1: want from our politicians and from our president. I just
Speaker 1: I think the act wears very thin here for these
Speaker 1: fake conservatives. It's the economy, stupid. We are growing, you know,
Speaker 1: three point five percent and to three four point two percent,
Speaker 1: to two three overall, my friends on the other side
Speaker 1: of the out side, you couldn't be too We are
Speaker 1: now beating three. This is the biggest single story of
Speaker 1: eighteen and it is not going away. The economy is roaring.
Speaker 1: In fact, the economy is so good, as you know,
Speaker 1: with this mid term election today that a lot of
Speaker 1: us around and say, what else could Republicans realistically be
Speaker 1: expected to do to win votes of people who are
Speaker 1: persuadable and what what else could be really ask for
Speaker 1: beyond an economy that is exceeding anything that we saw
Speaker 1: during the Obama years. And we know this, by the way,
Speaker 1: because there were there were efforts made to excuse some
Speaker 1: of the weak aspects of the Obama economy. And I
Speaker 1: mean in years six, seven, and eight, I don't mean
Speaker 1: the first couple of years, by the way. The the
Speaker 1: greatest luck, as it were, for the Obama for the
Speaker 1: Obama administration was that he came in with an economy
Speaker 1: that was in a cyclical recession essentially, and all he
Speaker 1: did would spend a trillion dollars a taxpayer money on
Speaker 1: stuff that didn't need we didn't need to spend money on,
Speaker 1: and then make sure the recovery was a lot slower
Speaker 1: and a lot less strong than it would have otherwise been,
Speaker 1: by raising taxes, by imposing more regulations, by creating business uncertainty.
Speaker 1: But you know, presidents don't determine every aspect of the
Speaker 1: economy economy. You could have had a goldfish be president
Speaker 1: after the recession and eventually the economy would rebound because
Speaker 1: the president isn't the economy, right. So the thing that's
Speaker 1: so lucky at the Obama aministration is that because the
Speaker 1: standard for where the economy was was, or rather because
Speaker 1: the the level of economy was so low, it was
Speaker 1: inevitable it was going to get better over time. I
Speaker 1: mean it was inevitab bowl because remember Obama didn't do
Speaker 1: the bank bailout. I always think that that somehow gets
Speaker 1: lost here. It wasn't that Obama came up with some
Speaker 1: plan to save the economy. You know what's really interesting
Speaker 1: is when you ask liberals, Okay, so what did Obama
Speaker 1: do for this great recovery. You you know, Keynesie and stimulus.
Speaker 1: Well even Paul Krubin. Krubin was saying at the time,
Speaker 1: you know, a year or two in the Kynesie and stimulus,
Speaker 1: stimulus didn't work. It was too small, they didn't spend
Speaker 1: enough money and all kinds of stuff. We're just throwing
Speaker 1: a trillion dollars of your money, essentially putting on the
Speaker 1: taxpayers credit card and spending in all kinds of things
Speaker 1: Democrats wanted to spend it on. Well, you know, they didn't.
Speaker 1: And people talk about the job creation everything else. I mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, a lot of the jobs were in
Speaker 1: relatively low wage sectors, so you have a lot of
Speaker 1: people getting service industry jobs, which I don't think you
Speaker 1: could say that that's something that we want to see
Speaker 1: as as a continuing trend. We really want to see
Speaker 1: wage growth. You didn't have that. But you know when
Speaker 1: you break down all the numbers and you see that
Speaker 1: there's this mythology now around what Bomba was able to do,
Speaker 1: and it's completely and cynically created. It's really fabricated by
Speaker 1: the left and on the left. And keep in mind
Speaker 1: that if we were I mean, I just want to
Speaker 1: I want to say this right now. This is I've
Speaker 1: been telling you all day to predict No one can
Speaker 1: predict the future. It's one of the more interesting lectures
Speaker 1: from Michael Crichton that I think I've told you about
Speaker 1: in the past, where he just talks about nobody can
Speaker 1: predict it. And he really is somebody who paid attention
Speaker 1: to this because so much futuristic predictions stuff. For rather
Speaker 1: being able to see into the future is is media
Speaker 1: and creative kind of creative arts related. But you know,
Speaker 1: you got all these people go on TV, Oh, I
Speaker 1: can see the future on any number the whole you know,
Speaker 1: the stock market, all these things. Oh, people can no one,
Speaker 1: no one can really predict the future. It's just assessing
Speaker 1: probability and then taking reasonable risk on but no one
Speaker 1: really knows. And you know, I think that's important. But
Speaker 1: you look at you look at where things are now
Speaker 1: with the economy, and here here's the big line right
Speaker 1: as everyone's going to the I know some of you
Speaker 1: are probably still voting as you hear this, although it's
Speaker 1: getting pretty late, pretty late in the game for most places.
Speaker 1: If you're still in line, don't go anywhere. If you're
Speaker 1: listening to me on your iPhone or your Android. Don't
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Stay in line and vote, please, please, please.
Speaker 1: Some of these elections are probably gonna come down to
Speaker 1: a very very thin margin, all right, if you're in
Speaker 1: particularly Florida, Indiana, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, New Jersey. I hope,
Speaker 1: but probably not as much. Please stay and vote. I
Speaker 1: mean I would say, I would say, Tennessee, I think
Speaker 1: Blackburn's gonna kick reticence, but pretty handily. So what what
Speaker 1: you what the Obama economy line, though, you know that
Speaker 1: it's garbage, because let's say that in the next month,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we saw the signs of a
Speaker 1: really spooked economy, meaning we saw, you know, huge drop
Speaker 1: off in the drop off in the stock market. People's
Speaker 1: four oh one case getting crushed. But the people always say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know I'm not in the stock market. Do you
Speaker 1: have a pension plan? Because pension plans are all based
Speaker 1: on growth and earnings from the markets. So no, nobody
Speaker 1: is really immune from this stuff, right, The housing markets
Speaker 1: affected by this. Every you know, your asset prices, everything
Speaker 1: is affected by the market. So, and I don't like
Speaker 1: to I hear this from a lot of leftist will oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know, only only Americans were even invested in the
Speaker 1: stock market. It's not really true because the markets more broadly,
Speaker 1: bond market, stock market, currency markets, all of that effects
Speaker 1: every aspect of the economy. So there again there's a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of you know, economic ignorance on
Speaker 1: the left. They kind of revel in it really so
Speaker 1: eight the Obama they call it the Obama recovery now
Speaker 1: because it's so good, and they can't say it's not good.
Speaker 1: It's just they just sound foolish. If we had a
Speaker 1: huge correction, I promise you they would stop referring to
Speaker 1: it as the Obama economy that day and now it's
Speaker 1: Trump's economy. And that's how you know that it's just
Speaker 1: it's just partisan garbage. I mean, they're not really analyzing
Speaker 1: or assessing anything. In no way are they looking at
Speaker 1: this objectively and saying, yeah, you know what, we we
Speaker 1: think that it is the Obama economy. They just want
Speaker 1: to try to take credit for something that they think
Speaker 1: will be politically useful for them, and that's what is
Speaker 1: driving all us. That's what it's really about. So that's
Speaker 1: my my message on the economy. I just hope that
Speaker 1: we can continue in this trajectory. We are going to
Speaker 1: have a reset at some point. I mean that's not
Speaker 1: you know, I can't tell you when. I'll just tell
Speaker 1: you will. And that's just based in history. There will
Speaker 1: be a reset, and they will all blame if it
Speaker 1: happens on Trump's watch, They'll blame it all on Trump
Speaker 1: and tax cuts. And you know what the script will be.
Speaker 1: And that's really when I get concerned about a possible
Speaker 1: move toward real, real socialism in this country is if
Speaker 1: we have a huge Remember we were told that the
Speaker 1: entire global financial market almost collapsed in two thousand and
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. I mean that that that's gospel.
Speaker 1: We were told that if we didn't take drastic measures,
Speaker 1: that we would have had, uh, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: contagion where no one can get any credit, the markets
Speaker 1: all freeze up, and the whole thing just collapses around us,
Speaker 1: and we'd have to build build their economic markets back up,
Speaker 1: or rather our global markets back up from scratch. And
Speaker 1: you know, whether that's a little exaggerated or not, that
Speaker 1: was ten years ago and that's where we were, and
Speaker 1: that's what the so called smart folks say about it.
Speaker 1: So you can imagine that right now, there's nothing that
Speaker 1: makes it beyond the pale that we could have a
Speaker 1: similar problem right now, we could have a similar issue
Speaker 1: that would come up in the next six months, of
Speaker 1: the next six years, who know who knows. I can't
Speaker 1: tell you the timing. I don't pretend to be able
Speaker 1: to tell you the time, but just remember that they will.
Speaker 1: The day that the economy goes bad is the day
Speaker 1: that they stopped talking about the Obama recovery. And that's
Speaker 1: just because they're a bunch of dishonest hacks and they
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with the fact that when you
Speaker 1: unleash the American people to do what they do best,
Speaker 1: when the business of the American people is business, we
Speaker 1: all prosper. And that's what Trump has done. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you've got a job opening. You want to get a
Speaker 1: filled with the best person as fast and efficiently as
Speaker 1: he can. So you posted online to some site no
Speaker 1: one's really ever heard of and hope that best people
Speaker 1: possible find you. Guess what, not smart. So you put

Speaker 1: slash buck higher the smart way zip recruiter dot com
Speaker 1: slash buck. I think one of the greatest disconnects between
Speaker 1: the left and the right in politics today is that
Speaker 1: the left really believes that people on the right are mean, uncaring.
Speaker 1: We don't care about the poor, We only care about
Speaker 1: rich people, even though a vast, vast majority of us
Speaker 1: and more than a majority, I mean, a very small
Speaker 1: percentage of us are rich on the right, but we
Speaker 1: don't care about poor people. We only care about wealthy
Speaker 1: people and white people. And we're me I mean, this
Speaker 1: is really this idea on the left, and it and
Speaker 1: it continues and it for as long as I've been
Speaker 1: aware of politics and following it so stretching back to
Speaker 1: probably my high school years, there has been this idea
Speaker 1: out there that Republicans are mean. That amazing Grace singing
Speaker 1: was going on at a Trump rally that was just
Speaker 1: yesterday out in Cape Girardo and a woman, I believe
Speaker 1: it was a woman um appeared to fall ill and
Speaker 1: and fainted, which you know in crowd situations that can happen.
Speaker 1: You get overheated, you get tired standing up. She fainted,
Speaker 1: and that Trump crowd everyone there spontaneously started singing Amazing
Speaker 1: Grace as a doctor was called in to tend to
Speaker 1: this person. Understanding is that the person was was fine.
Speaker 1: I don't believe anything serious happened, but I just think
Speaker 1: it was. It was one of those unscripted moments where
Speaker 1: you got a window into how the people that support
Speaker 1: Trump really feel and who they are and what this
Speaker 1: president actually thinks. Look that the President Trump is is
Speaker 1: an imperfect vessel. You don't need me to tell you that.
Speaker 1: You know that, right. President Trump is a flawed man,
Speaker 1: like we're all flawed people, and in some ways he
Speaker 1: is particularly perhaps idiosyncratic and maybe even extreme in certain flaws.
Speaker 1: But he also really is doing this because he cares
Speaker 1: about the country. Sure, he's got a very healthy and
Speaker 1: that's putting a mildly ego, and he has his appetites
Speaker 1: that he uh, you know, engages and you know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of things that you can criticize about this president,
Speaker 1: but in terms of his ability to hold the office
Speaker 1: that he does, on to the pressures that he does
Speaker 1: and push for what he's been doing since the very beginning,
Speaker 1: he's really incredible. I mean, he's he's a phenomenon. But
Speaker 1: there's also a component of this that I feel like
Speaker 1: doesn't ever get talked about, and it doesn't certainly is
Speaker 1: not covered in the by the media, and there's no
Speaker 1: effort to provide this balance whatever. There's so much about how,
Speaker 1: you know, Obama, the person Obama was so likable, and
Speaker 1: they do this to people who aren't nearly as charismatic
Speaker 1: as Obama was. Right, They'll do this with you know,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. No, Joe Biden is so likable. Oh, you know,
Speaker 1: they'll tell these little anecdotes to really make the make
Speaker 1: the person, the candidate, the politician seem like they're relatable.
Speaker 1: That's that's the really the special word in politics is
Speaker 1: this person relatable. And I would just offer that President
Speaker 1: Trump is highly relatable two people across the country and
Speaker 1: the moment that you take his political positions out of it.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you just put Trump on a street
Speaker 1: corner talking to a bunch of construction workers of any race,
Speaker 1: of any political persuasion, and just talking to them like
Speaker 1: a normal person, would they would like Trump? And I
Speaker 1: think they would like Trump because as much as he's
Speaker 1: a billionaire and and is a playboy and all these things,
Speaker 1: I think that he has always had a respect for
Speaker 1: the common man, for everyday folks. He likes them. It's
Speaker 1: it's more than even just respect. He has an affinity
Speaker 1: for them. He likes talking to normal people. He likes
Speaker 1: the way that everyday individuals engage with each other. And
Speaker 1: that's a big part of what's been so revolutionary about
Speaker 1: him and and so has so differentiated him from previous
Speaker 1: GOP candidates. You know, it's not that I'm not aware
Speaker 1: of his shortcomings. GE's that I think I'm over time
Speaker 1: more acutely aware of what is particularly special about him
Speaker 1: as a politician. Alright, I'm not gonna grow up or
Speaker 1: grow up. I'm pretty old right now. Somebody today told
Speaker 1: me they thought I was thirty. By the way, that was.
Speaker 1: That was nice. So yeah, at about six years onto
Speaker 1: that one soon to be seven. But he goes, you
Speaker 1: can't be over thirty, I said. It was a fellow
Speaker 1: journalist by the way, I said, Oh no, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: over thirty, all right, I'm over thirty. Uh. Anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna tell my kids to emulate every aspect of
Speaker 1: Trump's personality. Maybe I do need to work on a
Speaker 1: Trump impression. By the way, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys ever want to hear a Trump impression. I feel
Speaker 1: like most of the Trump impressions that I come across,
Speaker 1: including from conservatives, are pretty lame, and I think that
Speaker 1: a lame Trump impression is something I really want to avoid.
Speaker 1: But anyway, but when this singing broke out at at
Speaker 1: this at this rally in Missouri, and the Trump people
Speaker 1: are all gathered there, and you just saw this other
Speaker 1: side of it, which is that the Trump phenomenon, all
Speaker 1: these different Republicans, conservatives and people who even and voted
Speaker 1: for Obama before, people who aren't ideologically on the right,
Speaker 1: or at least not in a traditional conservative way. They
Speaker 1: want what's best for the country to you know that
Speaker 1: we've been so force fed. Really two narratives. One is
Speaker 1: that Trump is this this vile ogre who's just mean
Speaker 1: and horrible and lies and yells. I meanwhile, have you
Speaker 1: spent five minutes around the guy. You like him. He's
Speaker 1: a likable guy. You get the sense that you know,
Speaker 1: he would be the he'd be like the dad who
Speaker 1: after school if he wasn't a billionaire. You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: he might tell you to punch the bully in the nose,
Speaker 1: but you'd also you know, give you an out of
Speaker 1: boy pad on the back of the bully kicked your butt,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean, he's he's a
Speaker 1: guy's guy, and he's a pretty normal guy when it
Speaker 1: comes down to it in terms of his ability to
Speaker 1: relate to people. That's one narrative of the media doesn't
Speaker 1: give you all the other one. Also, it's just that
Speaker 1: the Trump movement isn't just about Oh, it's building walls
Speaker 1: and ex looting people and so nasty and destructive and
Speaker 1: divisive and hateful and racism, all this extreme negativity. Ultimately
Speaker 1: that the Trump voters that I know and the real
Speaker 1: Trump true beliers in the very beginning whether it's people
Speaker 1: who are at the very you know, top of the
Speaker 1: movement in terms of their voice and their platform, or
Speaker 1: just the folks that listen to this show, people that
Speaker 1: call it, people that I talk to, people that are
Speaker 1: emailing me and messaging me. They just want the country
Speaker 1: to do well and everybody in it to be doing well.
Speaker 1: And they want a country that lets us be who
Speaker 1: we are and pursue our own destiny without too much
Speaker 1: just constriction from the government. I mean, you know, the government,
Speaker 1: the federal government really is like a giant boa constrictor
Speaker 1: that will just slowly squeeze not just your funds out
Speaker 1: of you, but also your ability to choose your own path,
Speaker 1: choose your own destiny. You know, tell the government to
Speaker 1: leave us alone. There's always going to be government around us.
Speaker 1: There's this is always gonna be attention. There'll be a
Speaker 1: battle here. But the Trump voters want this country to
Speaker 1: be able to achieve its own greatness. And the way
Speaker 1: for this country to achieve its greatest position in the
Speaker 1: world is to let all of its individuals achieve as
Speaker 1: much as they can. And you know, there's also comfort
Speaker 1: and just being able to make choices. There's comfort in liberty.
Speaker 1: You know, this is something that really separates our society
Speaker 1: from any others. Many places we think of as also
Speaker 1: conformist and strict and even totalitarian, and that's bad, and
Speaker 1: we know that that's contra human nature. But people embrace
Speaker 1: it more than you'd think. A lot of people take
Speaker 1: comfort and solace in the limitations on their decision making,
Speaker 1: in being told what to do and being forced into
Speaker 1: a certain framework. There's an ease with which you can
Speaker 1: embrace being told what to do, being told who you are.
Speaker 1: America is special because we have the ability, we have
Speaker 1: the right, the god given right, to decide who each
Speaker 1: and every one of us are and will be as individuals.
Speaker 1: That is, that is the fundamental That is the the
Speaker 1: the foundational difference between US and many other polities, many
Speaker 1: other nation states, political organizations, countries, whatever, however you want
Speaker 1: to separate them out. That's very important. And the Trump
Speaker 1: movement is fundamentally about doing what is right by and
Speaker 1: for the American people so that we can all benefit
Speaker 1: and prosper. And it's not supposed to be about just
Speaker 1: battling for the sake of battling. The reason we have
Speaker 1: a commander in chief now who clitically battles as hard
Speaker 1: as he does and is willing to fight fire with fire.
Speaker 1: Is because for so long we have been on the
Speaker 1: losing end of approaching every political issue with first and
Speaker 1: foremost a desire to sound a certain way, to appear
Speaker 1: a certain way in the fight, instead of winning the fight.
Speaker 1: And if you think that winning the fight is going
Speaker 1: to make this country a better place for not just
Speaker 1: the million Americans now, but the generations to come, you
Speaker 1: have to be willing to fight hard. Doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: you don't sing amazing grace when it calls time for
Speaker 1: that too. You've heard me talking about snippy dot com
Speaker 1: for a while now. Well, it is a rapidly growing
Speaker 1: new social media site and by the way, they're making
Speaker 1: changes all the time, updates and additions that you're going

Speaker 1: new user interface. Stuff you'll love it. Also available on
Speaker 1: the Apple App Store and for Android. Snippy dot com. Ah. Yes,
Speaker 1: we've talked a bit about media bias today on the show.
Speaker 1: It's an important thing. One of the obligations, i'd say,
Speaker 1: one of the primary fronts on which conservatives must fight,
Speaker 1: must continue the fight, is this notion that there is
Speaker 1: an unbiased media out there and it's all just fine,
Speaker 1: and conservatives are whining about this or they make a
Speaker 1: big deal out of nothing. And yet every day it
Speaker 1: seems there's yet another instance, another story, another thing that
Speaker 1: happens that just proves the media is even more left
Speaker 1: wing in its bias than we had previously thought. Right,
Speaker 1: It just you just have more and more evidence of
Speaker 1: this that it is an overwhelming echo chamber of left
Speaker 1: wing sentiment, ideology and uh and emotions. And this is
Speaker 1: one of the This is one of the funnier ones
Speaker 1: that I've seen recently. So John James, who is a
Speaker 1: I believe a former fighter pilot. He is running for
Speaker 1: Michigan Michigan Senate and he's actually making a race of it.
Speaker 1: You know, people aren't really spending a lot of time
Speaker 1: talking about this when we have an African American Republican
Speaker 1: former fighter pilot. I mean, this guy. Compare this guy
Speaker 1: for a moment in terms of his star appeal, and
Speaker 1: everything goes to Bato and you're like, Okay, Beato married
Speaker 1: rich and now wants to be a national politician along
Speaker 1: the lines of a John Carey like figure without even
Speaker 1: John Carey's military service. Uh. John James is a butt
Speaker 1: kicking former fighter pilot, African American, very telegenic, very charismatic guy.
Speaker 1: Why have you not heard of him? I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of you have heard him, but you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, why have you not heard of him more?
Speaker 1: Why isn't this a bigger story? Well, this just goes
Speaker 1: to the overall buyas. But this is classic, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is really one of these things where
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta just go through life now pretty
Speaker 1: much assuming if you're in an office at least probably
Speaker 1: at home too, but if you're in office that everything
Speaker 1: you say could get caught on a live mike, and
Speaker 1: in this case it's a live telephone. So a reporter
Speaker 1: named Brenda Battle, who is a reporter for the Huron
Speaker 1: Daily Tribune, called on Monday to set up an interview
Speaker 1: with James after the midterm election so that they could,
Speaker 1: of course talked about what happened. Right, No one really
Speaker 1: knows in advance, but they want to set this up anyway.
Speaker 1: And it's just so funny because what you have here
Speaker 1: is the encapsulation of the liberal media. I know there's
Speaker 1: just one reporter, but it's symbolic. It's emblematic of so
Speaker 1: many of these reporters in how they really think, how
Speaker 1: they cover things, and all the rest of it. And
Speaker 1: you know, she she starts, she's when she's leaving her message.
Speaker 1: This is on a voice mamber. This is a voicemail
Speaker 1: from this reporter to John James's campaign, trying to set
Speaker 1: up an interview with him. And she goes from like
Speaker 1: neutral reporter, lady voice to just what she really thinks,
Speaker 1: and you know, you the mask drops, you get to
Speaker 1: see who we're really dealing with here. Uh and this
Speaker 1: voice mail, I think it's pretty hilarious. Please play clip three. Hi.
Speaker 1: My name is Blended Battle. I'm a reporter with the
Speaker 1: hear On Day A Tribune in Bad Acts, Michigan. Looking
Speaker 1: to set up an appointment with Mr James for some
Speaker 1: time on Wednesday for a phone interview regarding the election results.
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna send an email over UM to the
Speaker 1: info at John James for Senate dot com with some details. UM.
Speaker 1: If you'd like to call me, Zack, my my number
Speaker 1: is nine eight nine, Thank you. Man. If he beats her,
Speaker 1: Jesus John jeene W, that would suck. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, though. Man. If he beats your, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be happy. And I like Brandy Battle.
Speaker 1: I like she's so she's so Michigander, with the little
Speaker 1: with the Midwestern accident, you know, the whole thing. And
Speaker 1: if he beats your, I don't think it's gonna happen. Oh, Man, Brandon,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Man? I thought I thought it
Speaker 1: was great. You know, she goes from Sweet Sweet, Michigander
Speaker 1: local news lady. He's like, oh, I just want to
Speaker 1: say up being interview with Gen James. To all of
Speaker 1: a sudden she switches into like, yeah, beep beep, you
Speaker 1: know he said all this mean stuff about him. You
Speaker 1: gotta be careful if those open mics are open phones,
Speaker 1: and just wait a moment, make sure you're hung up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's pretty funny. Um. I will say this.
Speaker 1: I heard today that I heard today that she was fired,
Speaker 1: and I think that that's harsh. I don't think she
Speaker 1: should get It was an accident. I don't think that
Speaker 1: she should get fired. She didn't say Look, she didn't
Speaker 1: say anything like racist or terrible. She doesn't want the
Speaker 1: guy to win. I actually don't have a problem with
Speaker 1: that in the sense that I know that journalists are
Speaker 1: very opinionated and politically engaged. In fact, most journalists are
Speaker 1: really activists. They're not They shouldn't be described as journalists.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna say that that's a neutral a neutral term,
Speaker 1: might I mean most journalists are very ideologically motivated. That's
Speaker 1: why they do what they do. So I have no
Speaker 1: problem with that. I think she should just come out
Speaker 1: and say, well, you know what, I want to be
Speaker 1: an opinion journalist now. I want to be honest about
Speaker 1: where I happen. You know, people would say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: she can't do that, and that's her great and look,
Speaker 1: I know it's a bad look for the here on
Speaker 1: Daily Tribune, although honestly, this is the most national press
Speaker 1: that you're on Daily Tribute it has gotten ever probably,
Speaker 1: so it's you know, I think it's harsh to fire though, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe you know, you suspend her a few days. I
Speaker 1: I don't know if she was fired. I was told
Speaker 1: that today by a friend who's a reporter, So I
Speaker 1: don't I don't agree with that because what she said,
Speaker 1: you know, she thought she was off Mike. She didn't
Speaker 1: say any terrible so she doesn't like she doesn't like
Speaker 1: this candidate. Guess what. I don't like a lot of
Speaker 1: Democrat candidates that are running, including some that I've interviewed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't on an open mic say you know, bleep
Speaker 1: and you bleep bleep. I hate that candidate, But it
Speaker 1: doesn't make me a bad It wouldn't make me a
Speaker 1: bad guy if I did so. I have kind of
Speaker 1: a different take on this than other people. But this
Speaker 1: then brings us back to a theme this hour on
Speaker 1: the show, which is they just need to be honest
Speaker 1: about this. The person who was saying, yeah, I just
Speaker 1: want to have any if you branded battle you know,
Speaker 1: well anythink that's gonna happen? Uh, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: think that she is in a position to be objective.
Speaker 1: She should just say that I'm you know, Brenda Battle,
Speaker 1: Democrat journalist, and you know I'm covering things from that perspective.
Speaker 1: Why is that so anathemated people? She still has to
Speaker 1: use facts, She still has to, you know, report things
Speaker 1: accurately and truthfully, or else she'll have no credibility. So
Speaker 1: I believe in a total revamp of this. I think
Speaker 1: that the only the truth is I believe the only
Speaker 1: journalism is opinion journalism. We just need to come to
Speaker 1: grips with that. That is reality. That doesn't necessarily mean
Speaker 1: advocacy journalism, that's even a little step beyond, but at
Speaker 1: least opinion journalism. Yes, who are you, what party are
Speaker 1: you affiliated with? Ideologically? Where are you honest? D on that,
Speaker 1: which is really just transparency when we're talking about the media.
Speaker 1: I think that would go a very very long way,
Speaker 1: and I'm an advocate of it. But anyway, yeah, bend
Speaker 1: your bad you always you know, what could he happen?
Speaker 1: What could happen if she gets fired? Unfortunately, such an
Speaker 1: important thing, a vote is blood to his life. Just
Speaker 1: want so better for em and um feels good to
Speaker 1: be able to be able to say something and hope
Speaker 1: that's inside. Go out and vote now. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to make fun of somebody for getting emotional in that
Speaker 1: way about casting a vote. I mean, you know, it
Speaker 1: is a a beautiful thing that we have representative government
Speaker 1: in this country. And one of the great advances in
Speaker 1: human political organization is in act the processes involving democratic elections.
Speaker 1: And of course we are in a republic. You don't
Speaker 1: have to send me those emails correcting me. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We have a democratic process in our
Speaker 1: republican form of government and or in our republic rather
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's just that's Jennifer Esposito for
Speaker 1: those of you who might be wondering, and she is
Speaker 1: a semi famous actress. If you've seen the if you've
Speaker 1: seen the movie Gosh What Crash, which actually won Best Picture,
Speaker 1: much to my surprise. About fifteen years ago she was
Speaker 1: in that and it was very attractive. I know about
Speaker 1: her more because no, not just because she's very attractive actress, although,
Speaker 1: but because she's Celiac. She has Celiac disease like me.
Speaker 1: And she actually runs a and owns a bakery in
Speaker 1: Manhattan that has all all gluten free goods. But anyway,
Speaker 1: she was crying there because she just cast her vote
Speaker 1: and she's so hopeful for a change. And you know,
Speaker 1: this is where I have to step into kind of
Speaker 1: just normal buck the dude mode here and not not
Speaker 1: even really doing political analysis. Liberals really just need to
Speaker 1: calm down. It's it's gonna be okay. I think that
Speaker 1: people look and people can get very excited about their vote,
Speaker 1: and they can get very excited about different policies. And
Speaker 1: but when you're crying tears of essentially sadness and terror
Speaker 1: as you go into the voting booth, that's not good.
Speaker 1: Because everything really is okay. And this is a conversation
Speaker 1: that I have to have with my many liberal friends.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have I know a lot of Libs.
Speaker 1: Fortunately my immediate circle are stalwart conservatives, but I have
Speaker 1: a lot of Libs in my life, and I and
Speaker 1: many of them am very very fond of and I
Speaker 1: try to tell them or I try to lane to them.
Speaker 1: You know what you're getting from these different media sources.
Speaker 1: Look around you in your day to day life. Do
Speaker 1: you have friends and family members who are being drafted
Speaker 1: to go fight in a uh, you know, a horrific
Speaker 1: meat grinder of a foreign war. No. Do we have
Speaker 1: a pandemic of disease like Spanish influenza. No. Do we
Speaker 1: have a massive recession with millions tens of millions of
Speaker 1: people losing their homes, or the unemployment line stretching in
Speaker 1: the block. No, those are all real things that happen
Speaker 1: in history. By the way, two people in living memory,
Speaker 1: None of that is happening right now. Things in this
Speaker 1: country are really good. And I would offer that we
Speaker 1: are in a more positive place in our day to
Speaker 1: day lives as Americans now with Trump as president than
Speaker 1: we were in the Obama era. That said, there's nothing
Speaker 1: that is going on right now that should make liberals
Speaker 1: freak out so much. You know that there's And I
Speaker 1: asked them too, and they always point to rhetoric. Oh,
Speaker 1: Trump's rhetoric and what he said here and what he
Speaker 1: said there, and my response to that tends to be
Speaker 1: what does that really do for you? Work to you?
Speaker 1: The answer is nothing. You know, Trump's tweets should not
Speaker 1: be haunting these people's dreams. I really worry that there's
Speaker 1: a a mass hysteria on the left, and when people
Speaker 1: become hysterical in this way, their judgment is clouded and
Speaker 1: it's really hard to find common ground and to trust
Speaker 1: their thought processes on on important issues. So, you know,
Speaker 1: Jennifer Esposito there her a little clip went viral, This
Speaker 1: actress who's crying because she voted. I just want to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: if you want to cry happy tears because we live
Speaker 1: in such a beautiful, amazing country, that's great. I'm all
Speaker 1: for it. But if you're crying because you think this
Speaker 1: is your last chance to stop America from falling into
Speaker 1: Trump's fascism and he's basically hitler, I really mean this
Speaker 1: from the bottom of my heart. Get a grip, Libs,
Speaker 1: get a grip liberty, truth and great hair. Feel those
Speaker 1: funky beats. It's time for roll call. Election day. Roll
Speaker 1: call is the best roll call, well, really, every day
Speaker 1: is the best roll call. Team always good to hear
Speaker 1: from your Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. That is
Speaker 1: how you get this party started. Let's get right to it, Alan,
Speaker 1: But I have to say that having Hannity and Piro
Speaker 1: on stage with Trump is really bad optics for Fox News.
Speaker 1: Hard to criticize CNN when you have Fox personalities stumping
Speaker 1: for Trump. Well, Alan, I appreciate you're trying to be
Speaker 1: fair minded, but the truth is, I think that your
Speaker 1: distinction is is lacking some some context here. Uh, Hannity
Speaker 1: and Piro are both open conservative opinion journalists or or pundits.
Speaker 1: CNN pretends that their anchors, their prime time anchors in particular,
Speaker 1: are objective, neutral, nonpartisan journalist Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper, Don Lemon,
Speaker 1: Aaron Burnett, and Chris Cuomo. That's laughable. They're all Democrats.
Speaker 1: They're all operating as an appendage, a media appendage of
Speaker 1: the d n C. Always. That doesn't mean they can't
Speaker 1: ask normal questions. But I also am a partisan, but
Speaker 1: I can ask normal questions, right, So I have issues
Speaker 1: with the GOP, I criticize Republicans, I disagree with them
Speaker 1: on different matters of policy, doesn't mean I'm not a partisan.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that I don't approach this without an ideology.
Speaker 1: CNN is fundamentally dishonest about what it does and where
Speaker 1: it's people come down on these issues. Fox News is not. Now. Look, everyone,
Speaker 1: even if you're trying to be the most neutral, impartial
Speaker 1: journalists ever, you're gonna have some crossover. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: some sense that you know, your your opinions are gonna
Speaker 1: come through a little bit of your work. But it's
Speaker 1: not a little bit at CNN. It's a lot. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I just think that people should be honest about it.
Speaker 1: You can say, hey, I'm a Democrat journalist, but I
Speaker 1: really have a reputation for being fair minded, for presenting
Speaker 1: the facts and the truth and not trying to skew
Speaker 1: news narratives to serve a partisan agenda. So you know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of nuance here. Just understand this way though,
Speaker 1: the idea and I actually got into a little Twitter
Speaker 1: dispute with some Daily Beast reporter today about this, The
Speaker 1: idea that a journalist is a neutral, nonpartisan profession. This
Speaker 1: is really a mid to late twentieth century American invention.
Speaker 1: This is new, This is not This doesn't exist in
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. It doesn't exist in the UK,
Speaker 1: for example, where we derive a lot of our journalistic
Speaker 1: practices and the notion of the free press and all
Speaker 1: of these ideas. Would it come to us, not just
Speaker 1: from Europe and more specifically from Great Britain and there.
Speaker 1: If there's a Tory paper, there's a liberal paper. You know,
Speaker 1: left right people understand this. It's just much more transparent,
Speaker 1: it's much more honest. You know, I'm a conservative, and
Speaker 1: I'm pretty I'm pretty hardcore. I mean, there are very
Speaker 1: few areas where I think you'd find me deviating from
Speaker 1: conservative ideology. I mean there are a few. I like
Speaker 1: smoking bands and restaurants for example. You know, there are
Speaker 1: some things where I admit that my little, my little
Speaker 1: inner status comes out. Um and you know, I sometimes
Speaker 1: some of the nanny state stuff, I'd start to think,
Speaker 1: is I know you're booing me right now. You can
Speaker 1: boo me, That's okay. But you know, I may be
Speaker 1: thinking that soda being less than sixty four ounces is
Speaker 1: not the word. It's not the government's business. I know
Speaker 1: that I understand what but I'm just saying I have
Speaker 1: a ideologically. Sometimes I see it happens you find areas
Speaker 1: where you really like something and you are reminded. And
Speaker 1: now these are small areas obviously, but your reminded of
Speaker 1: Oh even I like to be sometimes a little bit
Speaker 1: of a big government totalitarian. But anyway, the CNN Fox
Speaker 1: distinction is Fox News. Anybody is willing to say, who's
Speaker 1: being honest that it excuse to the right, and it
Speaker 1: is a conservative leaning network. That doesn't mean all of
Speaker 1: its journals. I mean Shepherd Smith is not a conservative
Speaker 1: at all. I mean Shepherd Smith. You could take his
Speaker 1: show and put it on CNN and it wouldn't even
Speaker 1: be out of place. Right, Keep in mind, there's no
Speaker 1: equivalent at CNN. There is no show that is in
Speaker 1: their daily lineup at CNN that you could put on
Speaker 1: air at Fox News and you wouldn't say, Wow, this
Speaker 1: is like the pro Lary, pro Obama network. Uh. So
Speaker 1: you know, when you line these things up, it's more apparent.
Speaker 1: MSNBC is really the equivalent for Fox. MSNBC is a
Speaker 1: place that I think everyone at least is willing to
Speaker 1: admit is left leaning, is pro Democrat. You know, he's
Speaker 1: not calling balls and strikes and all this other nonsense
Speaker 1: that they say. As you see Alan, this gets me
Speaker 1: fired up. That's why I've spent quite a bit of
Speaker 1: time talking about your one message here. But I appreciate
Speaker 1: that said Fox News did censure Sewn or you know,
Speaker 1: not censoring, but you know it's Fox News did say
Speaker 1: that they don't like when their anchors do that. But
Speaker 1: he's not pretending to be neutral. And also, you guys
Speaker 1: know my rule applies here. I mean, I I oh
Speaker 1: a a debt of gratitude to Shaun for letting me
Speaker 1: in the early days of my career filling on his
Speaker 1: radio show, and also just for him being a great
Speaker 1: guy who's really honest and supportive and cool. So you know,
Speaker 1: he's not somebody that you're gonna hear me criticizing. Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know Fox News, they they can say whatever
Speaker 1: they want about their anchors activities. I think what Sean
Speaker 1: does is totally transparent, and I have no no issue
Speaker 1: with any even at all. The same thing with Judge nine,
Speaker 1: whom I always have a certain fondness for it too.
Speaker 1: I just think she's so feisty. I like Judge. She
Speaker 1: really lays it, she really lays it down. Sadly, you
Speaker 1: here end up murdering the children of Americans. You know
Speaker 1: what's united sary? See what I mean, feisty. Remember that
Speaker 1: that was on the view That was good time. Adam
Speaker 1: rights if Republican sweep is the M s M is
Speaker 1: smart enough to stop bashing Trump. No, no, Adam, you
Speaker 1: have to remember the M s M is not trying
Speaker 1: to be The mainstream media does not aspire to be
Speaker 1: even handed and fair. They just say that to pander
Speaker 1: to their audience of left wing viewers who like to
Speaker 1: think that their worldview is in fact the objective worldview.
Speaker 1: But that is not true. That is not the case,
Speaker 1: so they will not stop ashing Trump. In fact, it's
Speaker 1: been good for CNNs ratings to cover all Trump all
Speaker 1: the time. They've been very open about that. I guess
Speaker 1: because they can't hide it, and because they've got to
Speaker 1: tell advertisers. They want to tell advertisers they can make
Speaker 1: more money. Nicole writes, Hey, Buck, yesterday you played a
Speaker 1: clip where Pelosi talked about knowing how to take a punch.
Speaker 1: Trigger warning. The dude with the valley girl accent you
Speaker 1: can hear in the recordings does not sound like he
Speaker 1: could take a punch, and the effort involved with taking
Speaker 1: a swing at somebody would probably exhaust him. Dude is
Speaker 1: never want to fight in his life, Nicole. I can't
Speaker 1: say I know who the other speaker was in that clip,
Speaker 1: but thank you for writing in. James writes Buck love
Speaker 1: your show, Love what you do for American patriots. But
Speaker 1: I have one complaint. Pointing out the lies, deceits, and
Speaker 1: wrongs the Democrats is great, but how about some ideas
Speaker 1: to counter their deceptions and wrongdoing. Well, you know, James,
Speaker 1: I I try to do that. UM. I certainly espoused
Speaker 1: the policies that I believe in and and many of
Speaker 1: them are in line with what the Trump administration. UM,
Speaker 1: Trump administration is pushing. So I'll continue to try to
Speaker 1: propose solutions. I know people want solutions, they want they
Speaker 1: want good ideas too, and not just oh there's this
Speaker 1: other you know, constant bashing of the left that goes
Speaker 1: on Brandon rights oss here. Thank you for doing the
Speaker 1: great show you do, brother, It's a wonderful job. But

Speaker 1: of work. Seth comes in with shields. I you mentioned

Speaker 1: task on something and I wanted to address it here.
