WEBVTT - Election Night: Hold The House! 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:16.560 You are entering the freedom hunt. It's election night. Votes 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:20.840 are being cast as we speak. Can Republicans hold the 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:24.360 House against the odds? Can they add to their Senate lead? 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.720 That and all the big issues affecting it coming up 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:31.320 on the buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.320 Show or the mission or mission is to decode what 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:40.800 really matters with actionable intelligence? What magnorma stake American analytic 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:49.560 grant you're a great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins. 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.840 You see to express a curriculum confidence not doing repeat 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.560 the same way you when you win. Are you under 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.720 that's sure in your mind? Yes I am. Let me 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.960 just say why. As I travel across the country, I 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:08.080 listened to the v I p s, the volunteers in politics, 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.759 all the people who are knocking on doors, making calls 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.360 and the rest, and I say to them, every step 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.880 you take, every door you knock, every call you make, 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.959 iver sign, you plant I postcards you've sent, all of 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.120 that can make the difference. Because these are late, individual 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:27.880 races will be close, and the outpouring of mobilization by 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:33.360 various groups, all working together, springs from the quality of 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:37.240 our candidates. They're inspired by our candidates, and that's why 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.520 they're getting out to vote. Well. We think the blue 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.240 waves going to hit a red wall all across this country. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.480 The enthusiasm the President Trump and I are seeing he 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.840 saw here in Montana just a short while ago, I 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.560 saw today all across this country. I think it is 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.280 all being driven by the results the President Trump and 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.800 our partners and Congress have been able to deliver. I 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.680 think the American people are stepping up. There's upping forward. 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.560 They're saying, we want to see more, more commitment to 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:08.239 our military, more jobs, more growth, more tax relief, more 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.880 conservatives on our courts at every level. And they know 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.000 that means that we need to renew and even grow 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.359 our majorities on Capitol Hill, and people are turning out 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:20.239 to do just that. Welcome to the buck, Sex and 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:25.960 show everybody. Two very different assessments of how tonight's gonna 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:30.639 shake out. Election night in many ways, the most exciting 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.640 and most boring day in politics. Exciting because there's an election. 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.799 Boring because we have to hear about all day how 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.000 there's an election. It's he turned out some of his coverage. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.720 It's like, Hey, what's going on over there? Phil, Oh, 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.799 there's a line of people. You can only see four 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.240 of them behind me, but the line stretches around the 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.320 block for all this vote. I oh my gosh, hey, 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.360 let's part. The early voting number is not gonna tell 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.800 us who's gonna win. But really interesting back to you, Sally, 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.480 you know it's there's a lot of that going on here. 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.520 Um and I I can tell you you know, the 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.640 the the races that matter. And by the way, I'm 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.480 gonna be at at hill dot TV tonight which you 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.320 can also watch it on Facebook. I'll be there. It 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:12.639 will be a lot of libs on the show. To 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.720 loove some great conservatives. I believe my friend Rahem's gonna join. Uh, 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.800 we're gonna have on Charlie Kirk from Turning Point USA. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.280 We're gonna have on Armstrong Williams. We're gonna have on 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.359 a whole bunch of conservatives too. But we have a 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.400 lot of libs, so just be prepared for that. But 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.120 that's tonight from eight eastern to midnight. I'll be joining 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.360 obviously as soon as I finish radio. And you can 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.120 check us out there if you like. It's totally free 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.800 and you can watch however you like. Uh, it's we're 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.880 on Facebook, will be streaming on YouTube. Just go to 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.040 The Hill on YouTube on Facebook and you'll see and 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.440 we'll be streaming there for our election night coverage. But 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.760 the other races that matter here, I mean, I want 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:56.560 Beto to just get crushed because I don't like this 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.600 media fantasy they've created around this guy. We're he's like 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.120 the Kennedy from Texas or something. I mean, it's just 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.360 it's all, it's all mythology. The guy's name is Robert, 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.000 he married a billionaire and now he wants to be 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.560 a national level political figure because who knows why, because 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.160 he's a true blue, true blue leftist. I don't know. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.279 I mean, it sounds like it, so I don't. I 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.520 don't think Beto the billionaire is going to do very 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.159 well tonight. I hope that, as I've been saying, this 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.159 has been really one of the only predictions that I've 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.719 been consistently hammering. I think he's gonna lose by ten points. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.239 I hope he loses by ten. If he loses by four, 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:34.920 which I think some of the polls have him at, 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.159 just to know that they'll say, oh, it's a even 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.080 though he lost, it's a win. That's what they'll say, 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.400 even though you know he he couldn't pull it off. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.320 He pulled it off because he made a statement of Texas. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.680 So that's that allergy. Abraham's Kemp I think, uh, I 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:52.960 think Kemp is gonna win, but it's gonna be close, 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.640 very very close in Georgia. Um, I think that Kemp 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.520 is gonna win. And by the way, notice how I'm 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.360 throwing out all my predictions now because you know, why not. 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.280 If we're gonna just get into the prediction zone, I 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.320 might as well join the party, right what some of 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:09.600 you will listen to this, by the way, if you're 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:10.960 on a little bit of a delay or listen to 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.560 the podcast, he'll already know to be like ah buck 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:18.600 if you only knew hindsight is But I think that 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.200 Kemp will will narrowly squeak it out against Abrams. But 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.600 you know, that one I'm not super confident about. For sure. 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.440 I'm very confident that Ted will will beat Beto by 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.479 a pretty wide margin. Um. The one that I can't 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.919 tell you I've got good feelings about is Florida. I 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.560 think Gilm is gonna beat De Santis. I just you know, 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.720 the media is a lot of attention on that one. 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:46.240 De Santis is not the most compelling candidate in the world. 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.480 I just think that he's I think he's in trouble. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.680 I think he's in trouble there. I think that mc 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:57.479 sally will will beat Cinema in Arizona. I think that 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:03.120 Heller is gonna win in Nevada. I think that from 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.880 trying to what else. Oh and yeah, as much as 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.600 I wish I could tell you Menendez would lose, I 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.120 think Menda is probably gonna win in New Jersey. I mean, 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:10.720 those are the big ones that I think people are 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.560 paying a lot of attention to. UM. I also think 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.240 Steve King has probably done and J. D. Hayworth I 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:18.640 think it is I'm doing this all off the top 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.480 of my head. I think he will it's Jade. Hey, 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.839 what's the guy's name, you know, the guy who's running 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.400 against Steve King and Iowa. I forget his name. Anyway, 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.720 I think that those are the wather the way those 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.600 race will turn out. But you know, you know, speculation 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.640 isn't worth much the moment we have real results, right, 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.400 So I won't spend too much time on that today. 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.520 Though those are my buck predictions. Take them or leave them. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.960 What's at stake though, that matters, That matters to all 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.640 of us. And and here's what the real choices tonight. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.520 I want to put it in very very clear terms, 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.080 as I try to do here on the show all 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:57.160 the time team, But what we have is, will enough 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:02.320 of the country show up to out that understands what 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.680 Trump is trying to accomplish, what Trump ZUM and the 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:10.160 Republican Party United behind it is really all about and 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.760 all of the good things the positive movement in this 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.600 country in the last two years, Well enough people show 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:20.920 up that want to continue with that, or will Democrats 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.840 take control of the House of Representatives and then drag 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:33.320 us through a nightmarish political no holds barred h free 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:41.440 for all of impeachment investigations and prosecutions, prosecutions that they 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:46.640 will trump up, prosecutions that will be very selective and politicized. 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.520 There will be an effort for the deep state to 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:53.880 now rely on congressional investigation as well as stuff going 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:58.840 on inside the d O j FBI, you know, apparatus 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:03.120 to go after Trump people, and it's going to be 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.840 very very ugly. They will, even with the slimmest majority 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.400 impeach this president because their base demands it. What will 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.679 they impeach him over who knows? Doesn't even really matter, 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.920 because while they'll impeach him, why they will impeach him 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.320 is just a function of they hate him. They don't 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.400 like the way he acts, they don't like the way 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.560 he talks, they don't like what he stands for. They 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.920 don't like that he holds the mirror up to the 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.680 left and lets the rest of us see how ugly 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:38.600 and cruel and destructive the political left really is. And 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.320 so they hate him. That's the reason they'll come up. Oh, 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.960 they'll talk about obstruction. Oh though you know Russia collusion, 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.160 Oh there was there any collusion, No, but there was 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.080 an attempt at attempted collusion. That they'll just come up 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:57.440 with some construct of why they need to hold him accountable, 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.920 you know, why there needs to be this reckoning of sort, 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:06.319 and you know, truth be told. Um, it's going to 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:14.120 get very very contentious, very angry, very destructive here in 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:18.160 d C. And they'll be not a single policy benefit 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.440 from Democrats holding the House of the next years. There's 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.160 nothing that will come from Democrats having a majority in 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.800 the House of Representatives that is a that will markedly 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.720 improve the lives of any American, not one. It'll just 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:38.400 give a foothold in the government for even crazier conspiracy theories, 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:45.240 for even more insane lies about how the president you know, 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.680 worked with Russia and cheated on this, or cheated on that, 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.679 and all these differ. I mean, that's where all of 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.000 this is heading. That's what we are going to be 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.559 in the midst of So we figure out, or we 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.880 find out tonight, what future or we face. I mean, 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:05.600 I am uh, I am deeply troubled at the notion 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:11.080 of a Nancy Pelosi led left wing house. That is 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.360 just they're just looking for payback. They're not looking for legislation. 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.600 They're not looking to triangulate or come up with something 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.760 that would actually be worthwhile that then they could run 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:25.680 on in actual accomplishment. No, no, no, they want to 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.520 destroy They want to destroy Trump. They want to destroy 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.840 all the people around him. They don't care the economy 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.600 is booming, they don't care that Trump has exceeded almost 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.680 everyone's expectations for how successful as presidency has been. And 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.840 they don't even care that we're you know, Trump's not 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.760 on the ballot. They will make this, especially if they 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.640 win the House, this will be considered a referendum on Trump, 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:54.240 because they will use that talking point of oh, this 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.680 is a referendum on Trump as yet another reason, another 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.040 rationale to trash Trump. You now, they will use it 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:08.040 as another way that they are trying to explain why 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.800 they're so ferociously opposed to this president and why they 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:16.839 have to do everything in their power to take him down. Yes, 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.520 I think the conventional wisdom right now looks pretty good. 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.400 But doesn't the conventional wisdom always look pretty good? Isn't 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.360 that always the case? Very likely that the Republicans will 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.720 pick up a few Senate seats. I've been saying fifty five. 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.120 Maybe that's a little maybe that's a little rosy, Maybe 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.160 it's fifty three, But fifty five is the number that 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.800 I've picked for the GOP, and I'm sticking to it. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.360 In the House. Smart money right now, such as it is, 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:48.320 is on twenty to thirty seats going for the you knows, 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.440 switching over and going for the Democrats, you know, a 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.520 net gain for the Democrats at seats in the House Representatives, 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:59.480 which would give them a majority. That sounds reasonable to me. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.800 There's nothing about that that I think to myself, oh, well, 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.160 you know that can't happen. That must But but I again, 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.920 I don't know. And the truth there's nobody knows. And 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.600 thank heavens. Now, finally, you notice I don't talk about 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.520 I mean opinion polls to some degree, But but election 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.960 polling on this show I tend to st away from because, 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.680 first of all, who the heck think about this shows? 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.400 I mean, I would see this on MSNBC. You know, 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.800 the polling about candidates from three months ago, who even remembers, 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.920 who even cares? It didn't matter that. It's just a 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.920 way to fill time and create a create room for 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.959 wild speculation, which is what tonight is often about until 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:42.600 we finally get some numbers. But make no mistake about it, 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.360 this is a very important day for the country. It's 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.880 not the most important election of our lifetime. It's not 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.560 the you know that's but all that crap aside, But 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:54.960 it is an important day because we are in the 0:12:55.000 --> 0:13:00.920 midst of a political change that was right to the 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:05.600 heart of elitist power structures in this country, that has 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.920 jolted people that thought that they were just going to 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:16.080 continue on in their in their positions of of influence 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.679 and access and money without anybody ever coming along to 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:23.640 shake them up a little bit. And it also is 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:28.560 I would offer to all of you listening a necessary 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:33.360 counterpoint and even really antidote to obama Ism. That's what 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:37.520 Trump is after eight years of being dragged into a 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:42.839 progressive dystopia insofar as they can affect things. America is 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.719 very durable, right. A lot of stuff just kind of 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.520 happens no matter who the president is. I mean, I'm 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.600 not trying to say that and everything went terrible and no, no, no, no, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:57.400 But in areas where the previous administration had the strongest hand, 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.800 I mean in areas where they really pursued policies for 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.160 it less la that was, they were wrong and they 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.560 were destructive policies. They did not work out well for 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:09.520 the American people. They were they were damaging more than 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.720 there were some ways they were helpful, but they were 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:16.560 damaging more than helpful. Trump is a corrective to that, 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.840 and people are fighting furiously against it. They do not 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:24.600 want to have to deal with the reality of not 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.720 just the erasing of Obama's legacy, which is what Trump 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.120 has been doing, but setting this country on a path 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.080 where things may never be the same in a good way. 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.040 If Trump is able to continue his work, but he 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.880 needs a majority in the Senate and a majority in 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.920 the House or else. All that this turns into is 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.480 an impeachment battle that won't be settled until the twenty 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.720 presidential election. More thoughts on this, my friends. I know 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.080 it's a very very busy night, so stick with me, 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.840 will be right back far be. If the Republicans to 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.000 talk about the disruption within the Democratic Party, they got 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.920 their own disruption going on battling their own president. That 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.720 prison to talk about the economy, but yet it contains 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.520 to talk about the immigration. But they are not Republicans. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.760 They are Democrats, and we are looking for a big 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.440 night to really hold off the president. And it's going 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.920 to happen in the house. Hold off the president. That's 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.960 all this is. I mean, for all their talk on 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.800 the left about health care and uh, you know, different 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.440 policies that they say the Democrats are gonna pursue, at 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.720 the end of the day, this is just this is 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.080 just a stop Trump election, or maybe you could say 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:35.560 it's the precursor stop Trump election to the we're really good, 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.120 they're really gonna try to stop Trump, then right, but 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.600 that's what they offer. Do you like what's going on now? 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.640 If yes, vote for Trump. If you don't like the prosperity, 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.000 if you don't like the lighter regulatory touch, if you 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.800 don't like common sense applied to the very top of 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.560 our government structure, then you can vote for some crazy 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.600 leftists and see how see how much fune we have 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.720 is that how to transform us into a democratic socialist state, 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.280 much less of the ideological cohesion than you have. By 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.880 the way, in many of these successful Democrats socialist states, 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.960 one thing that never gets discussed is, you know, there's 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.840 not a tremendous amount of acrimony and political division in 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.720 places like Sweden or well more now these days, but 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:22.360 that's a whole other conversation. Or Denmark, not a lot. 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.760 There's a lot of a lot of unity and cohesion 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.320 among people in those in those countries that that the 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.080 left wing of the Democrat Party, the Bernie wing, points 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.280 to and says, why can't we do what they do? Well? 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.320 The answer maybe we can't do it, that we wouldn't 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:38.920 be able to pull that off. And we are a 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.080 country now with very little that binds is I mean, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.080 you have the left wing that just yesterday was saying 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:45.920 maybe you should abolish the Senate. I'm seeing more of 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.760 that today because why because they're not gonna win the Senate. 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.120 It's just it's just sour grapes. It's just cry baby stuff. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.400 But get ready for a lot of that with the 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.320 Senate because they know that there's not that much that 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.920 they'll be able to do with just the House. It's 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:04.679 it just becomes really a place for them two do 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:08.080 a lot of hashtag resistance speeches. You gonna have a 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.360 lot of that going on on the floor, and it's 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.640 not good for the country, but you know, it's it's 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.440 the system we have. And I mean I at least 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:20.760 respected insofar as this is what's got to happen. But man, 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.919 for an election that's not supposed to be about the president, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:28.119 he certainly looms very large in this one. Uh. And 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.280 I'm just just one thing I want to note. You know, 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:35.359 you never have Republicans in these congressional districts who are 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:39.879 trying to run more like Democrats. Just look around tonight 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:41.840 as the electoral map fills up and go, wait a second, 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.720 that that guy or that gal sounds a lot like 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.400 a Republican on a lot of things. Now they have one, 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.520 oh man, because you realize that when when they get 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.720 to d C, when they get to Capitol Hill, all 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.159 these people that are Democrats that are like, oh, but 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.879 I'm a I'm a more traditional, you know, gun toting 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.119 Democrat and now I'm from the South and I like 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.280 the outdoors and blah bli blah and all this stuff. 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.680 All of a sudden they vote like Nancy Pelosi. You know, 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.000 you don't have this with Republicans. Republicans are never oh yeah, 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.119 I'm a I'm a left wing moderate or a centrist 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.919 moderate Republican and and now I'm really gonna be a 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:18.879 hard line right winger. As soon as I get that, 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.040 that doesn't happen. So I would just note that that's 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:23.760 a dynamic that I'm sure is going to continue to 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.840 play out. And also remember you can watch our Hill 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:28.560 TV coverage tonight if you wanted to. And in folks, 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:30.159 there'll be some lives on there. Be prepared for it, 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:31.840 but a lot of conservatives to will be fun. You 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:33.560 get to hang out with me and that I'll be 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.440 starting at eight eastern tonight. Just go to Hill dot 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.080 TV or you can watch us on Facebook, or we're 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.560 streaming it on YouTube, a lot of digital platforms. Just 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.919 type the Hill and you'll find that, or go to 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.919 the Hill dot com. More election big picture analysis is 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:52.119 on the way, so stay tuned. We have a crisis 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:55.880 of illegal immigration at our southern border, but this caravan 0:18:55.920 --> 0:19:00.000 that's moving north is deeply concerning people all across this country. 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:01.880 I hear about it every day. It's the reason why 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:04.679 the President's made it clear that the caravan will not 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.320 be allowed to enter our country illegally. Ultimately, we can 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.840 end this crisis of illegal immigration, but we have to 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.320 have partners on Capitol Hill to do it. And this 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.879 midterm election is an opportunity for the American people to 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.720 elect and reelect men and women to our nation's capital 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.760 who will be committed to stand with this president. And 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.520 I believe doing that that uh, that will will end 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:31.320 this crisis of illegal immigration once and for all. I 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.639 don't care what the polsters say. I don't care what 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.200 the exit poles. By the way, ignore exit polling. Exit 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:40.119 polling his garbage. Exit polling is like fancy rumormongering. It 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.520 really is nothing. People talk about it because you've got 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.399 all these different networks that are, oh, here we are, 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.320 we gotta cover this thing. But you don't want to 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:50.159 get caught up in the exit polling stuff because you know, 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.800 who knows what it really It usually turns out to 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:56.080 be a nothing burger, and it's just it's filler. It's 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:57.560 on air filler. So if you want to hear on 0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.480 air filler that they'll get into the exit polls and 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:01.760 they always egue earlier. It's just, you know, it's a 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:07.680 it's a nonsense, nonsense fest. But immigration, I don't care 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:12.640 what anybody says. Immigration is important to American voters right now, 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.840 and it's a winner for Trump and the Republican Party. 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:20.840 Democrats can't win on immigration if people know what the 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:25.120 parties stand for, if they know how these parties are different. 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.639 All you hear from the left is that Republicans on 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.840 immigration are racist and xenophobic and want to close us 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:37.960 off from the rest of the world. That is preposterous. America, 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:44.040 through our legal system, takes in a million legal immigrants 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.600 every year and lets them live in this country permanently, 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:51.280 either as citizens or as Green card holders. A million 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.840 people every year. That's through our legal system. That includes 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:58.160 a whole lot of what they call now family reunification, 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:02.800 but it really is is chain migration. Uh, that's another 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.959 You know, the terminology here tells you so much about it, right, 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.400 That's why I focus in on undocumented immigrant, which is nonsense, 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:13.360 versus a legal alien. They want to make it seem 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.159 like none of this is a problem, none of this 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:19.120 is wrong. They really are anti sovereignty. They're anti national sovereignty. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.080 And I would like to sit down at some point 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:25.920 with I mean, it probably would just evolve into a 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.080 shouting magic, but I'm gonna say some of the loudest 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:31.280 voices the Democratic Party immigration and force them to answer 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:35.159 the question who can't stay and why? Because if the 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.800 answer to who can't stay is I don't have an answer, 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.639 that means that you really want everyone to stay, you 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.399 just won't say it, which means that you don't believe 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.400 in borders, which means that you don't believe in sovereignty, 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:46.640 which means that you don't care if this country dissolves 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:51.560 over time, which is what will happen if the Democrats 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.040 have their way. It's not gonna happen in a year, 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:55.160 it won't happen in ten years, but within a couple 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.280 of generations, you will have a country that no longer 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.360 is held together. Remember, America is an idea. We are 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:04.200 not an ethnic group, we are not a religious group. 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:06.720 It is an idea. If enough people come together in 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:10.399 this country who don't share that idea, and whose first 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:14.640 act on our soil is a violation of some aspect 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:16.679 of that idea, i e. The rule of law that 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:20.639 everyone has to obey the same laws, we're heading to 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:25.879 a very dangerous place, a very destabilizing future, to be sure. 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:31.440 But I just think that immigration if if the pollsters 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:32.879 and you know, I say, I'm not doing all oh 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:34.600 this race, in that race, in this prediction, that prediction, 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:35.960 I want to talk to the big issues I'm talking 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:37.560 about happening to the national level. I mean, you know, 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.040 you know, well tomorrow we can go over the results 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:42.800 because they'll have results, they'll have they'll have data. Right now, 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:45.479 it says it's just a speculation Olympics. That's what you've 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:48.000 got going on, the speculation Olympics today. Oh everyone's just 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:49.800 you know, this might happen, but that might happen, but 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.400 this might happen. One of my favorite things to point 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:55.840 out is that on on election day, no matter who 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.640 you are, you can end your sentence with at all 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:02.840 the pen is on turnout and people will not approvingly 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:06.720 who are around you. You know, well, I'm not sure 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:08.479 how this election is going to turn out, but it 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:12.600 all depends on turnout. Oh yeah, that's brilliant, Buck. You 0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:16.600 kind of repeated yourself there, but that's brilliant. You know, Well, Bob, 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:20.600 how's the family doing. Family's good, Jim. But it all 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.600 depends on turnout. Well, that's that's that's right, A good 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:25.399 good call. I mean, this is what you deal with. 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:28.480 Maybe you have a lot of people that are essentially 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:31.560 dressing up slogans and acting like it's analysis, but it's 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:37.240 really not analysis. But on immigration, if the pollsters have 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:39.720 been wrong, which I can't tell you now, we'll find 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.440 out tomorrow. But if if, if there's let's just say 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:45.120 that that that the craziest of crazy things happens right now, 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:47.439 which is that Republicans actually hold the House. That's the 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:51.520 thing that would be the outlier, the fat tail, the 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:56.360 black swan. If that were to happen, it would only 0:23:56.400 --> 0:24:01.720 be possible if the pollsters had But I think polisters 0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:05.000 do try to get it right because there their viability 0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:07.480 is based upon getting it right, So I think that 0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:11.720 they're less infected with political bias then say pundits are. 0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:15.199 That doesn't mean that they don't have some skew in 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:19.720 their view. But if the Republicans do hold the House 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:24.040 and we have this yet again, this shock wave moment 0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:27.439 of oh my gosh, the establishment got it wrong. How 0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:29.439 could they not have seen this? How can they? It 0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:32.720 will be in my opinion, because of the issue of immigration. 0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:37.199 I think it's I think immigration is number one, And 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.480 you know what I think number two is the clarifying 0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:46.080 effect of Kavanaugh. I think a lot of people, a 0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.840 lot of people in the kind of you know, middle 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:51.399 the upper middle class burbs and just across the country 0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:52.960 in general. But if you're looking at it based on 0:24:53.480 --> 0:25:00.520 voting cohort cohorts a lot of people who weren't enamored 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:04.160 with Trump and trump Ism, but who are traditional kind 0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:09.119 of right of center folks. They saw the ritualized humiliation 0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:15.040 and flagellation of Kavanaugh on national TV, and they realize 0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:17.920 what everyone in this country, if they're being honest, should realize, 0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:21.720 which is the Democrats will stop at nothing. They cannot 0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:28.200 be trusted, and they are crazy. I would immediately call 0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:31.800 the president of Mexico the president of Canada to try 0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:35.520 to amend NAFTA. We've got to make sure that our 0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:38.960 agreements are good for everybody, because globalization right now is 0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:45.760 creating winners and losers. Wait a second. That was Obama 0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:48.320 at the start of his presidency. He's saying he was 0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:52.440 gonna amend NAFTA and also talking about how globalizations created 0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:55.080 winners and losers, and that affects jobs and other things 0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:56.800 here at home, right, I mean, that's the implication of 0:25:56.840 --> 0:26:01.040 what he said. First of all. Wow, okay, so Obama 0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:03.960 was kind of paying attention at one time. And I 0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:06.600 would just note that was there ever a n after 0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:10.879 deal that Obama actually signed. Oh no, he did not 0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:12.879 sign a n aftter deal. But you know who did 0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:17.680 sign a deal on a renewed and updated NAFTA. Oh 0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:20.119 that's right. President Trump did play cliff too. We have 0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:23.840 negotiated this new agreement based on the principle of fairness 0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:28.159 and reciprocity. To me, it's the most important word and 0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:31.120 trade because we've been treated so unfairly by so many 0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:36.760 nations all over the world. They were changing that. That's right. 0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:42.240 The President has gotten results. This is a presidency that 0:26:42.280 --> 0:26:45.760 wants to be and should be judged on its results. 0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:49.560 And as I have said, all along, they hated even 0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:53.800 more because it is successful. I think the left they 0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:58.240 would still despise Trump, but their fury would be less 0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:04.919 tinged with insanity if Trump weren't succeeding so much. The 0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:08.200 fact that his presidency is as good and as successful 0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:13.560 as it is so far just further frightens them that 0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.280 maybe they need to rethink some of their core beliefs. 0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:18.200 And they won't. They will shut that part of their 0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.720 brain out right away. Oh No, that that can't be it. 0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:23.200 It's got to be something else. It can't be that 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:26.960 maybe Trump sees something that other people don't. It can't 0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:30.720 be that there's something else at work here. That's that's 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:35.399 just not possible. But but it is. But it is. 0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:40.560 All along the administration has known, Trump has known, all 0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:44.800 of his top people have known that mistakes of policy 0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:50.399 and any betrayal of the base would be unforgiven that 0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:55.439 it would be used for maximum political damage against administration. 0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:57.600 And so they've had to they've had to one and 0:27:57.680 --> 0:28:02.680 keep faith with the base and two uh deliver. And 0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:04.399 and that is what I think Trump has done, and 0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:06.880 that's what to some degree, the Republicans have done. Look, 0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:09.720 we we can't skip over the fact that they did 0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:13.640 not repeal and replace Obamacare. That did not happen. And 0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:17.840 we have a handful of senators that we can thank, 0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:21.360 however you want to thank them for that whole process, 0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:25.040 for that debacle. We did not repeal and replace Obamacare. 0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:27.159 And it really just goes to show you that there 0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:30.320 there can be even for a party that I think 0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:36.159 is right in principle and right on the on the 0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:39.280 core issues, like the Republican Party is, there can be 0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:43.040 legislative malpractice. And that's what that's what it was to 0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:46.640 not have not just something ready to go, but something 0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:51.200 compelling with which to replace Obamacare, something compelling that you 0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:56.440 could sell the people, the voters. Pre Existing conditions. I mean, 0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:58.440 you know, this is where we get into this policy discussion. 0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:02.040 Pre Existing conditions are a very popular issue that have 0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:06.080 a lot of emotional appeal. People want to believe that 0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:09.160 if they get sick, there will be insurance for them. 0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:12.640 People want to believe that the government isn't going to 0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:16.840 allow for people to die slowly and painfully from treatable 0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:21.240 disease because they don't have insurance. And now people say, 0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.240 oh buck, but you know hospitals have the Yeah, the 0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:25.440 e R has to take you, but you might not 0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:27.960 necessarily get the life saving treatment you need if you 0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:31.520 don't have insurance. Let's just be honest about this. Now, 0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:33.560 how do you expand that? How do you make it better? Well, 0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:37.160 what you want is more people practicing medicine at a 0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:41.160 higher level and more efficient delivery of care. And the 0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:43.440 way you get that is by people who are the 0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:47.120 recipients of care having the power of the dollar behind them. 0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:52.479 So that means more free market based solutions for a 0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:54.120 lot of this, not all of it, because like the 0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:57.000 Medicare is not free market, Medicaid is not free market, 0:29:57.080 --> 0:29:58.880 the v A is not free market. I mean, there's 0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:02.880 a lot of aspects of healthcare delivery that we have 0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:05.600 to come to grips with it aren't going away that 0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:07.440 are not based in the group now. And if people say, 0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:09.760 oh buck, you know, try care and and and uh 0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:12.880 and the v A. And there's some some programs now 0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:15.440 that allow for you to go see private doctors. Yeah, 0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:18.160 I know, right, this is we're talking about an enormously 0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:22.320 complicated subject. But it gets boiled down to these very 0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:28.480 ah useful political slogans by the left while the right 0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:30.160 is talking about the free market like we're at some 0:30:30.240 --> 0:30:32.080 kind of a higher lecture all the time. That just 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:34.640 doesn't cut it. I mean, it's one of if we 0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:38.000 I will say this, if we lose tonight in the election, 0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:40.640 if we lose the House, it will be in no 0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:45.160 small part because Republicans at a national and a local 0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:49.920 level have lacked a coherent and compelling message on what 0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:53.680 we're gonna do on healthcare. They have not talked enough 0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:57.560 about the efforts to improve prescription drug pricing, which is 0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:01.400 a problem. I mean, these you know, prescription drugs are 0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:03.200 you know, when you when you're talking about the protection 0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:06.760 of intellectual property, it's not an absolute thing. There there's 0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:09.280 a balancing act here between the good that society gets 0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:12.200 in the product and the benefit that the maker of 0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:15.520 the product gets from their patent or from their their trademark, 0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:19.920 their right to sell this this particular intellectual property. But 0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:22.720 it's not an absolute thing. It's not a forever thing. 0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:24.800 It's not a you know, you developed some new drug 0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:26.720 and then on a whim you can say, well this 0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:29.000 drug now you know, for people that needed to save 0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:31.080 their lives, that costs them a million dollars a day. 0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:33.040 You can't do that, and people say the market wouldn't 0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:35.640 bear it. But even in the short term, there there 0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:38.720 are moral implications to some of these decisions. And the 0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:42.080 government is inherently involved, right because if a drug company 0:31:42.080 --> 0:31:44.600 comes along says here's my new drug in a free, 0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:47.000 free market, you know what happens. Somebody else can say, Oh, 0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:48.920 that's a great drug. I'm gonna make that drug too. 0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:52.960 Oh now your profit margin goes away. Right, So the 0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:56.640 government's playing a role. Philosophically, we need to understand that. 0:31:56.720 --> 0:32:00.440 But there hasn't been nearly enough push on that. And 0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:03.920 if there's one area of regret, if there's one issue 0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:07.320 that I think Republicans have not done a good enough job, 0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:09.400 you know, look, they've done what they can on the economy, 0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:12.240 but you know, the media is very powerful on that 0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:14.880 and and the and people don't vote when they're happy. 0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:16.920 They vote when they're upset or annoyed about something. They 0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:21.360 want something to change. But on on healthcare, you know, 0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:24.520 they they they didn't repeal and replace Obamacare. I know 0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:27.280 they'd say they didn't have the sixty votes for a supermajority, 0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:29.520 but they couldn't even get the fifty one votes as 0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:34.400 a budgetary measure. John McCain, you know, cast that final 0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.760 vote against it and and killed the deal or killed 0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:40.480 the bill. It wasn't a deal as a bill. But 0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:45.440 there's there has not been a a strong enough message 0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:48.800 on that issue. And it just makes me furious because 0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:52.360 the Democrats, look, they're going for single pair now because Obama. 0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:54.280 If Obamacare was so great, why are they talking about 0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:57.479 a single payer Obamacare is not great. First of all, 0:32:57.640 --> 0:33:01.440 only really affects a pretty small center to the overall population. 0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:07.400 And it's very expensive, very low quality healthcare that people 0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:10.040 who really can't afford to subsidize it or subsidizing. And 0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:13.520 if you make forty to seventy thousand dollars a year 0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:16.680 Obama and you're in the individual market, Obamacare is probably 0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:19.520 a very bad deal for you. If you make you know, 0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:21.960 thirty thousand dollars a year in the individual market, you know, 0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:25.560 maybe now you're you're in a better position. But okay, 0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:28.360 I mean we're not. We're not talking about a clear 0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:30.360 trade off of nothing but good stuff here. And some 0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:34.280 people are suffering because of it, and they're not suffering 0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:36.240 because of decisions that they've made. They're suffering because of 0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:38.560 the decisions that the government's made. You know, a healthcare 0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:42.920 system where the dollar follows the consumer, where you have choice, 0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:45.560 where you have the ability to find the care that 0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:47.680 you want and get the best price for it, and 0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:50.960 the government regulation is altered so that we don't have 0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:56.400 these essentially these you know, legal cartels that are still uh, 0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:58.000 you know, still trying to do everything they can to 0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.960 protect even you know, decades later, whatever patents they have 0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:04.160 in place and everything else. You know, the fact that 0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:09.080 drugs for things like um or rather procedures like dialysis 0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:14.600 are you know, so lobbyist intensive, and there's so much 0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:16.920 stuff that goes on behind the scenes that's not free market. 0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:19.640 We need to clear it out. We need transparency, We 0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:23.239 need the individuals to have control of the dollars, and 0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.279 we also need to have a whole And this is 0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:27.640 a discussion that I know people don't necessarily want to have. 0:34:28.200 --> 0:34:30.520 We don't have a national level discussion about how you know, 0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:35.360 what the truth is, everybody's health is in their own hands. 0:34:35.400 --> 0:34:37.319 Now what I I don't mean that you know, you're 0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:39.000 if you get sick. And I'm somebody who's dealt with 0:34:39.040 --> 0:34:43.200 all kinds of really freakish, out of the blue ailments 0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:45.120 over the course of my life, you know, Celiac disease 0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:46.600 being the one I've talked about the most. But just 0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:48.560 I deal with all kinds of stuff. I know you 0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:50.799 have to. I'm not saying you're responsible for your health 0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:53.080 is in like it's your it's your fault you get 0:34:53.080 --> 0:34:56.840 the flu. What I'm saying is your health and wellness 0:34:57.160 --> 0:35:00.680 is really up to you. The government will not make 0:35:00.719 --> 0:35:04.920 you healthy, The government will not make you well. This 0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:06.840 needs to know. We keep thinking, oh, if we have 0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:09.799 health care, it's all gonna be okay. No, it's not 0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:11.719 all gonna be okay just because you have health care 0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:13.560 that the government gives you, that the government says you 0:35:13.600 --> 0:35:17.280 can have. Health, like so many other things in our lives, 0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:21.400 is an active process that should be left to the 0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:24.200 greatest degree possible to the individual, of course, working with 0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:27.200 doctors and experts. But you've got to you've got to 0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:30.520 take control of and and that's why a market that 0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:32.640 more accurately reflects I mean right now, it's you know, 0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:35.239 I gotta go see a doctor. I'll I'll go see 0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:37.000 somebody and I'll pay the cope and they'll tell me 0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:39.759 what to do. All right, Well, that that's good when 0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:41.440 you need it. But there's a lot more to it 0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:44.480 than just that. I know, I'm kind of getting a 0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:47.080 little bit off the off the initial topic of the policy. 0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:50.800 But once again, vote Republican because the Democrats are nuts, 0:35:51.080 --> 0:35:53.600 and even on healthcare, they don't have the solutions. They 0:35:53.640 --> 0:36:00.200 just have the slogans. You don't want that. Online security 0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:03.120 is essential. I am buying things online all the time. 0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:07.000 I'm I'm using sensitive information for banking, for credit cards, 0:36:07.000 --> 0:36:09.640 all this stuff.

Well, 0:36:09.800 --> 0:36:12.759 keep in mind that I know, and you know that 0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:15.200 there are lots of companies that are accessing your data 0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:18.160 and even selling it. So there are ways to get there. 0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:21.560 And I'm not even talking about hackers. Don't allow yourself 0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:26.719 to get exploited.

They are actively engaging in the fearmongering and 0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:05.600 the lying and the hatred. President and his team are 0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:09.279 trying to drive up fear and rage when it comes 0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:12.080 to these margarints coming up from Central America towards the 0:37:12.160 --> 0:37:15.120 US border. Power to destroy this planet that's in the 0:37:15.120 --> 0:37:18.000 finger of a presidented States and the President Trump holding 0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:21.160 rallies all over the country thinking to new loads with 0:37:21.320 --> 0:37:24.080 his line and fear mongering. This is why questions about 0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:28.000 his fitness for office are so urgent. This is the 0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:31.399 biggest story that I see happening right now. Presidents their 0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:36.040 their job is to inspire and to bring hope to 0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:40.319 the American people, sometimes in difficult times. And what this 0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:44.400 president does is pedal fear. Could be leading the United 0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:49.160 States towards World War three, could be leading America towards 0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:53.360 a nuclear war, you know, sort of doomsday nightmare scenario. 0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:57.920 The President's fully embraced a dark anti immigrant message and 0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:02.279 the hope that stoking fear motivated voters to reject Democrats 0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:05.440 pose a profound danger to every single person in this 0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:09.759 country and literally every inhabitant of the planet Earth. As 0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:12.080 you're at the polls today, my friends, although I know 0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:13.680 a lot of you probably already finished your voting, a 0:38:13.719 --> 0:38:16.160 lot of you probably early voted, I just want you 0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:21.040 to remember that the single biggest pitch the Democrats have 0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:25.160 for why you should vote for them is rooted in fear. 0:38:26.400 --> 0:38:33.080 Fear of fascism, fear of Trump's reckless nuclear war, fear 0:38:33.160 --> 0:38:35.960 of Trump destroying the economy, fear in all these things. 0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:40.880 But the same people that are constantly trafficking in fear 0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:44.240 of Trump and Russia collusion and how the Kremlin's running 0:38:44.239 --> 0:38:46.000 this country now and all this stuff, they're the ones 0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:48.640 that are telling you, oh, no, no no, no, don't be 0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:52.759 don't be fooled for a second by all the fearmongering 0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:56.480 by the Republicans. It's not fearmongering to say that we 0:38:56.560 --> 0:39:02.600 have a poorout southern border with countless thousands, hundreds of 0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:04.640 thousands of people coming in year and year out are 0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:08.600 not supposed to It's not fearmongering to say that the 0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:11.960 opioid epidemic in this country, which is killing over seventy 0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:19.520 thousand people a year, is primarily supplied by cartels working 0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:24.240 across the border and poisoning our brothers and sisters, mothers 0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:27.920 and fathers and husbands day in and day out in 0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:31.080 communities across the country. That's not fear mongering. That's a fact. 0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:33.600 You know, there are some things that we have to 0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:36.520 address that are true, that are uncomfortable, and Trump is 0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:40.160 willing to do that on these issues. Now, the caravan 0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:44.960 was a big media cause. Initially they all, look, you're 0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:47.520 another caravan, women in trolling. They were the ones covering it. 0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:50.879 Trump didn't make this an issue. Trump didn't make seven 0:39:50.920 --> 0:39:54.920 thousand people come together and across from Guatemalan to Mexico 0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:58.840 and all this stuff. Clearly not but it's indicative. The 0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:00.759 reason the media gets so upset out about this is 0:40:00.800 --> 0:40:04.760 what it does is show you that they are not willing, 0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:09.160 They are not open and honest about the fact that 0:40:10.800 --> 0:40:13.720 they really want the whole caravan to come into the country. 0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:17.919 They want to see the caravan in the United States, 0:40:17.960 --> 0:40:19.400 they want to see more of them. I mean, the 0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:25.120 Democrats are an extremist party on immigration. Now, extremist. The 0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:27.200 same way that when you talk to Democrats about abortion, 0:40:27.560 --> 0:40:30.239 you know, do you realize, oh wow, they they just 0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:32.520 it's everything or it's nothing with them. I mean that 0:40:32.640 --> 0:40:37.640 they're they're making no distinctions whatsoever. There's absolutely no willingness 0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:41.040 to take a moderate or middle position on this. Anything's 0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:44.759 true with immigration. What is acceptable to the left when 0:40:44.800 --> 0:40:48.319 it comes to immigration amnesty? What is acceptable when it 0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:50.640 comes to the to the left and people crossing our 0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:53.520 southern border, anyone can claim asylum. Anyone gets to come 0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:57.160 in the country. After they do so, nobody faces interior 0:40:57.200 --> 0:41:00.360 enforcement unless they break a serious Lawless they break, you know, 0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:04.040 they commit a felony. Okay, So how are we not 0:41:04.080 --> 0:41:06.319 an open borders country at that point? Oh? Because you 0:41:06.320 --> 0:41:08.160 have to stop and check in at the border. First. 0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:11.680 All you gotta do is claim asylum, go through the process. 0:41:11.719 --> 0:41:13.319 A lot easier to do that, by the way, then 0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:16.360 go through the legal immigration process and all the different 0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:19.640 recommendations and lawyer fees and all these other things. Right, 0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:21.600 it's a lot a lot harder to do it the 0:41:21.719 --> 0:41:24.400 legal way. So why would you do it the legal way? 0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:28.560 Why would you go through that route? And I just 0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:33.920 would note that you know that we should be honest 0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:36.239 about this and not let the other side dictate the 0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:42.680 terms of our discussion. But this notion of the conservatives 0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:46.160 engaging and fear mongering, Trump engaging in fear mongering. All 0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:49.000 I hear from the leftist fear mongering. These people say 0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:53.759 that Trump is basically like Hitler. They talk about fascism 0:41:53.840 --> 0:41:57.040 coming to America, and anybody, and I know this audience 0:41:57.120 --> 0:42:00.279 is very historically attuned. Anybody knows anything about fascist, knows 0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:04.879 what's a terrifying thing. If that were true, it's nonsense, 0:42:05.440 --> 0:42:08.759 but some people believe it, some people buy into it, 0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:14.440 and those people happen to be Democrats, and those people 0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:17.920 cannot be reasoned with on the policy matters we've been 0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:22.680 discussing here on the show. Those people have really they've 0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:24.120 lost it. As I've been telling you. By the way, 0:42:24.120 --> 0:42:29.080 you got another thing here with with Biden. Um Biden 0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:31.319 is saying that you know, this is gonna this is 0:42:31.320 --> 0:42:33.680 gonna put the brakes on Trump and and we're gonna 0:42:33.960 --> 0:42:36.680 stop all the meanness and all the bad stuff. Producer 0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:40.560 Mike pulled together this this montage of former Vice President 0:42:40.600 --> 0:42:43.439 Joe Biden with what he says now about how he's 0:42:43.560 --> 0:42:46.680 you know, we're gonna restore civility and stop Trump from 0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:49.000 being such a racist and all this stuff to the 0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:51.240 kind of stuff he said in the past. Play clip eleven. 0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:54.760 And this is the single most important off your election 0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:59.440 in my lifetime. And I really think it's more than 0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:01.840 just out of specific issues. I think it's about the 0:43:01.920 --> 0:43:05.120 character of the country. It's either he is so stupid 0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:08.600 that he doesn't understand. No, it's possible that now that 0:43:08.600 --> 0:43:12.480 that's not really give him. It's possible he doesn't understand 0:43:12.600 --> 0:43:15.560 the damage he's doing. But I really believe it. I 0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:18.759 think we have to change the tone. Well, le may 0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:22.600 say he's a joke. Bill Roth work thirty years together, 0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:27.600 not a harsh word one single time. Can you imagine 0:43:27.600 --> 0:43:30.400 this guy becoming commander in chief and getting one ounce 0:43:30.440 --> 0:43:34.879 of respect from a single solitary military man or woman. 0:43:36.600 --> 0:43:39.960 Has gotten too nasty and it's too base. Any guy 0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:42.640 who talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest s 0:43:42.840 --> 0:43:46.759 op in the room. And this appealed to nativism and 0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:51.719 nationalism and a phony nationalism and racism. Is it's got 0:43:51.719 --> 0:43:54.120 to stop. And I think this election is going to 0:43:54.280 --> 0:43:56.480 put some brakes on it. We're in high school. I've 0:43:56.480 --> 0:44:00.680 taken behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. 0:44:00.719 --> 0:44:05.520 So which which is it? Biden? Do we need serious 0:44:05.640 --> 0:44:09.480 Biden voice? I'm doing surious, serious talk about the country 0:44:09.520 --> 0:44:12.120 and the future. And you know, or am I like, 0:44:12.200 --> 0:44:14.200 you know, hey, I'm gonna earn Biden. I'm gonna go 0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:16.320 kick some button. I'm gonna I'm Mr. Tough guy and 0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:20.120 Trumps a buffoon? And which is it? Which is it? 0:44:20.680 --> 0:44:22.759 I would note that you know, Trump speaks the same 0:44:22.800 --> 0:44:25.480 way all the time. Trump was the same in that 0:44:25.520 --> 0:44:27.719 Oval Office interview I did a couple of months ago, 0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:31.520 as he is during his rallies. Same Trump, Obama, Biden. 0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:35.160 These guys have different acts they put on, you know, Obiden, 0:44:35.680 --> 0:44:39.040 O Biden, Oh gosh. Biden sometimes is you know, Mr 0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:41.560 roll up the sleeves. You know, yeah, I'm just you know, 0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:44.040 blue collar Joe. And then I just you know, and 0:44:44.320 --> 0:44:47.239 then you know, a minute later, he's lecturing people on 0:44:47.239 --> 0:44:50.879 on foreign policy international relations because he thinks that he's 0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:54.840 connecting to different crowds. Obama, I mean, you know, Obama 0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:57.680 changes his cadence, his tone, and all kinds of things 0:44:58.000 --> 0:45:01.040 depending on what he thinks is most useful in the moment. Now, 0:45:01.080 --> 0:45:02.680 you can say that's just being a good politician, but 0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:05.600 I would say it's a little phony, isn't it. Trump's 0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:07.520 the same all the time. You got the same Trump 0:45:07.840 --> 0:45:10.439 any time a day. But you know, I really don't 0:45:10.440 --> 0:45:14.640 appreciate hearing from the left. You know the same people 0:45:15.360 --> 0:45:18.799 that were trying to tell us a couple of months 0:45:18.840 --> 0:45:25.399 ago that Justice Kavanaugh was a teenage gang rapist. Now 0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:28.759 want to lecture us on civility. Now, want to tell 0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:35.080 us that Trump's tone has to change. I remember what 0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:38.680 they were doing to Kavanaugh. I remember how the left 0:45:38.719 --> 0:45:40.360 was playing that game, and I am not going to 0:45:40.400 --> 0:45:42.720 forget any time. And I really hope that people remember 0:45:42.760 --> 0:45:45.840 today as they cast their ballots, because the left showed 0:45:45.880 --> 0:45:49.880 you who they were during that fiasco, and it was ugly. 0:45:50.360 --> 0:45:55.760 It was disgusting, and it was disgraceful. So yeah, vote 0:45:55.760 --> 0:46:02.280 Republican team. You know, I'm all about Black Rifle coffee. 0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:04.239 I drink it every single morning.

As wouldn't 0:47:00.320 --> 0:47:05.799 be shocked anymore by the overt racism that we have 0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:08.640 seen either from the President of the United States or 0:47:08.840 --> 0:47:13.280 Republicans who are trying to win election. They are pulling 0:47:13.280 --> 0:47:16.760 out the stops in Georgia to try to keep Stacy 0:47:16.840 --> 0:47:21.560 Abrams from winning the election if they vote Republican. They 0:47:21.560 --> 0:47:26.560 are saying, we are okay with the message coming from 0:47:26.600 --> 0:47:30.799 this party. We are okay with the president using racism 0:47:31.680 --> 0:47:35.160 against migrants coming from Central America. We are okay with 0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:39.439 a gubernatorial candidate who is putting out tweets that are 0:47:39.680 --> 0:47:43.440 clearly about inciting fear among white voters to keep them 0:47:43.440 --> 0:47:47.080 from voting for for Stacy Abrams. So this is about 0:47:47.160 --> 0:47:49.319 the direction of the country and who we are as 0:47:49.320 --> 0:47:54.120 a people in Georgia. Tonight has an opportunity to say that, um, 0:47:54.160 --> 0:47:57.200 the Georgia of gone with the win is gone with 0:47:57.280 --> 0:48:02.120 the win. How does the left of find racism? Because 0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:06.040 I'm really sick of them throwing this term around all 0:48:06.080 --> 0:48:09.400 the time. I mean, it's just it's it's really a 0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:14.120 central theme of every political conversation, it seems on the 0:48:14.200 --> 0:48:19.399 left has to tie into race. It's just it all 0:48:19.440 --> 0:48:21.480 comes back down to race, it all comes back down 0:48:21.480 --> 0:48:25.440 to any politics, and they keep saying racist. And what 0:48:25.480 --> 0:48:27.840 I think is so interesting is they never have to 0:48:27.880 --> 0:48:32.000 define what racism really is. What do they think racism is? 0:48:32.160 --> 0:48:35.200 I've always operated with the following definition in mind. I 0:48:35.239 --> 0:48:38.000 know that there's some you know, some gray areas here, 0:48:38.719 --> 0:48:42.840 but racism to me being or thinking of people differently 0:48:43.680 --> 0:48:47.880 because of their skin color or race. That that's what 0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:53.279 racism is. It's pretty straightforward. To the left. Racism is 0:48:54.120 --> 0:48:59.680 you don't want unrestricted immigration across our southern border, therefore 0:48:59.719 --> 0:49:01.239 you are racist, and you say yourself, We'll hold on 0:49:01.320 --> 0:49:04.560 a second. If there was unrestricted immigration coming from north 0:49:04.600 --> 0:49:07.080 of our border, I'd have a problem with that too. 0:49:07.360 --> 0:49:10.320 I just don't want people coming into this country who 0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:13.040 aren't obeying our laws and shouldn't be in the country. 0:49:13.040 --> 0:49:15.560 I don't care where they come from. I'm not advocating 0:49:15.560 --> 0:49:18.719 for unrestricted Irish immigration to this country, even though I'm 0:49:18.760 --> 0:49:22.320 about half Irish, probably more Native American than Elizabeth Warren, 0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:26.440 but I'm about half Irish. Um, you know, so so 0:49:26.480 --> 0:49:28.440 what when they call that racist? To me, that's just 0:49:28.480 --> 0:49:32.960 a smear. It's unfair, it's it's a lie. It's destructive, 0:49:33.840 --> 0:49:36.840 and I I really get sick of it, and I 0:49:36.880 --> 0:49:38.480 think we all should be sick of it. I think 0:49:38.480 --> 0:49:41.399 that we all should call this out more than we do, 0:49:42.080 --> 0:49:44.440 because they keep they keep saying Trump is racist. I 0:49:44.480 --> 0:49:46.680 mean there are some you know, I would like to 0:49:46.719 --> 0:49:49.160 have this conversation with some of these big pundits and 0:49:49.520 --> 0:49:51.239 really be able to drill down into this because the 0:49:51.320 --> 0:49:54.560 questions that I would ask them, and that was Jonathan 0:49:54.640 --> 0:49:57.320 cape Part is a Washington Post writer. I believe in 0:49:57.320 --> 0:50:02.120 an MSNBC contributor, I would ask k Part would ask me, 0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:04.120 I can't even think of all the punnits that say 0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:06.439 Trump's racist, because they all say he's racists on the left. 0:50:06.440 --> 0:50:08.200 I mean, they're that's one of their favorite talking points. 0:50:08.239 --> 0:50:11.160 But I'd say, okay, so what exactly are you saying? 0:50:11.320 --> 0:50:14.280 You're saying that Trump is the claim that Trump doesn't 0:50:14.320 --> 0:50:17.600 like people who are not white? Is that really and 0:50:17.600 --> 0:50:19.000 and and if they believe, and I think some of 0:50:19.040 --> 0:50:20.839 them would say yes, But I want to know what 0:50:20.880 --> 0:50:23.840 evidence do you have for that? Do you think the 0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:28.080 president's lyne when he clearly gets up in front of 0:50:28.080 --> 0:50:31.080 people time and time again and and has a real 0:50:31.239 --> 0:50:34.160 pride that beams from his face when he talks about 0:50:34.640 --> 0:50:38.799 black unemployment at a historic low, Hispanic unemployment at historic low. 0:50:38.880 --> 0:50:41.800 I mean, do these leftists really think that when President 0:50:41.840 --> 0:50:47.960 Trump has, you know, young black conservatives as recently happened 0:50:47.960 --> 0:50:49.759 at the White House, right, they had that whole group 0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:51.719 that came into young Black conservatives when they want to 0:50:51.719 --> 0:50:53.480 come in and talk to the president, they're so excited 0:50:53.520 --> 0:50:57.440 to see him. Do liberals really believe that the President's thinking, well, 0:50:57.480 --> 0:50:59.960 you know, these aren't these aren't my kind of people 0:51:00.200 --> 0:51:03.520 or something? Even? Maybe what much worse than that, Because 0:51:03.520 --> 0:51:06.960 if they do, I think they're delusional. I think they're crazy. 0:51:07.560 --> 0:51:10.440 And I think that this old model that the Democrats 0:51:10.480 --> 0:51:13.080 still run with of telling everybody all the time that 0:51:13.120 --> 0:51:16.680 everything is racist, is running out of steam. I mean, 0:51:17.040 --> 0:51:19.200 we're all pretty sick of it. One thing that I 0:51:19.239 --> 0:51:21.680 don't think the Left has come to grips with yet 0:51:22.320 --> 0:51:24.400 is that one of the reasons we have Trump as 0:51:24.480 --> 0:51:27.759 president is we're all so sick of being told that everything, 0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:33.480 and particularly every Republican is racist. Everything is racist, everything 0:51:33.560 --> 0:51:37.960 is racial all the time. Every Conservative that I know 0:51:38.040 --> 0:51:46.040 and consider a friend or colleague speaks about individuals and 0:51:46.280 --> 0:51:49.799 race relations in in tones that are very similar to 0:51:50.280 --> 0:51:53.000 the way I do, which is that we view people 0:51:53.040 --> 0:51:55.879 as people, and every you know, there are some people 0:51:55.880 --> 0:51:57.680 who are great, some people who are bad, some people 0:51:57.680 --> 0:52:00.399 who are smart, some people who are dumb. That's true, 0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:03.520 people of all racist ethnicies and backgrounds, And it is 0:52:03.560 --> 0:52:06.839 a moral and logical fallacy to judge an individual by 0:52:06.880 --> 0:52:10.080 skin color. Meanwhile, the left wants to judge people by 0:52:10.120 --> 0:52:11.680 skin color all the time. The left looks at your 0:52:11.680 --> 0:52:14.080 skin color and says, you better be a Democrat. The 0:52:14.160 --> 0:52:15.919 left looks at your skin color and says you must 0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:18.400 have been oppressed. Let's help you get into school. The 0:52:18.480 --> 0:52:21.800 left looks at skin color and says, you must add 0:52:21.880 --> 0:52:26.200 something special into the conversation. So let's, uh, let's give 0:52:26.239 --> 0:52:28.600 you this government contract or you know whatever. Right they 0:52:28.920 --> 0:52:33.160 believe in a racial entitlement state. And yet they tell 0:52:33.239 --> 0:52:35.200 us that we're the ones who are so racist all 0:52:35.239 --> 0:52:39.279 the time, if there were hordes, I mean, this is 0:52:39.520 --> 0:52:42.400 this is where the left really falls apart. And and 0:52:42.400 --> 0:52:45.200 they never are forced to really answer this question. None 0:52:45.200 --> 0:52:48.759 of their leading and I was gonna say intellectuals, that's 0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:50.239 almost hard for me to say out loud. But none 0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:55.000 of their leading voices, loudest, whiniest pundits and writers on 0:52:55.040 --> 0:52:58.319 the left ever have to grab all this. Is there 0:52:58.320 --> 0:53:01.120 a position really that they think that rump voters and 0:53:01.239 --> 0:53:03.319 remember Trump only was able to win because a lot 0:53:03.360 --> 0:53:06.680 of Obama voters actually voted for Trump. A lot of 0:53:06.719 --> 0:53:11.160 Obama voting areas of the country, in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin 0:53:11.640 --> 0:53:16.399 voted for Trump. Their position is that if it were 0:53:17.880 --> 0:53:24.120 millions of people coming into the country who didn't speak English, uh, 0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:27.920 we're impoverished and we're breaking the law. But they had 0:53:28.000 --> 0:53:31.400 lighter skin color, that the Republican Party would be excited 0:53:31.400 --> 0:53:33.759 about it, that that Republicans would be fine with this. 0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:39.360 They they may believe that, but that's bull crap and 0:53:39.440 --> 0:53:43.239 it's crazy. It's not about skin color, but they try 0:53:43.280 --> 0:53:45.920 to make it about skin color in the conversation so 0:53:45.960 --> 0:53:50.200 that they can morally blackmail us and saying, Okay, you're right. 0:53:50.239 --> 0:53:52.279 We we don't have the right to sovereignty. We don't 0:53:52.320 --> 0:53:55.560 have the right to secure our borders. I've heard Trump 0:53:55.600 --> 0:54:00.480 called racist so many times that I'm most number to 0:54:00.480 --> 0:54:02.000 it at this point. I mean, people are slipping into 0:54:02.080 --> 0:54:05.879 conversation on different TV shows and it's it's like it's 0:54:05.920 --> 0:54:07.960 part of his title. Now if you're a Democrat, Oh yeah, 0:54:08.000 --> 0:54:11.040 our racist President Trump. They just say it all the time. 0:54:11.120 --> 0:54:13.399 And when I asked them, why is he racist again, 0:54:13.400 --> 0:54:15.879 they say, oh, they always pray, they say, well, charlotte Ville, 0:54:15.880 --> 0:54:18.560 he said there's good people on both sides. He misspoke. 0:54:19.000 --> 0:54:21.640 He wasn't trying to say that Neo Nazis were okay, 0:54:21.960 --> 0:54:25.319 And anybody who actually pays attention to the circumstances of 0:54:25.320 --> 0:54:27.680 the conversation knows that I'm not saying what he said 0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:32.760 was okay. I'm saying he misspoke. He was talking about 0:54:32.840 --> 0:54:35.560 the fight over the monument, should the monuments stay or not? 0:54:35.719 --> 0:54:39.120 And he got convoluted. And then he condemned a thousand 0:54:39.120 --> 0:54:40.439 I mean, you know, for people say, oh, we didn't 0:54:40.440 --> 0:54:44.279 misspeak buck Well, Yeah, he condemned the the other the 0:54:44.280 --> 0:54:48.760 the Tiki Torch mafia a bunch of times afterward. Their losers, 0:54:49.120 --> 0:54:51.400 and he condemned them in a very Trumpian way. They're losers, 0:54:51.880 --> 0:54:53.520 these are these are people that we shouldn't listen to. 0:54:53.520 --> 0:54:57.839 They're irrelevant, they're clowns, are losers, they're jokes. But none 0:54:57.840 --> 0:54:59.719 of that matters, right, All that matters is that he 0:54:59.719 --> 0:55:01.400 missed boke once and now we're supposed to always and 0:55:01.440 --> 0:55:04.640 forever believe that he's a racist. It's just nobody that 0:55:04.719 --> 0:55:07.200 I know who knows this president. And I know people 0:55:07.239 --> 0:55:11.480 that know him very well personally. And I've known the family, 0:55:11.840 --> 0:55:14.360 although not super well, but I've known the family stretching 0:55:14.400 --> 0:55:17.879 back now for gosh, I don't know, twenty years over 0:55:17.920 --> 0:55:21.400 twenty years. I first met the Trump's when I was fourteen. 0:55:21.480 --> 0:55:25.960 I think New York guys not a racist, all right, 0:55:26.400 --> 0:55:29.480 He's a New Yorker. He's like me. You live in 0:55:29.480 --> 0:55:31.839 New York. You get used to you like people who 0:55:31.840 --> 0:55:33.960 they are. You don't care where they're from. You get 0:55:34.000 --> 0:55:35.880 brilliant people from all over the world, you get idiots 0:55:35.880 --> 0:55:39.040 from all over the world. It doesn't matter. You just 0:55:39.080 --> 0:55:42.319 take people as people. You're surrounded by. You know, more 0:55:42.400 --> 0:55:46.640 diversity than you know anywhere else you could ever imagine. 0:55:47.960 --> 0:55:52.160 But they want to believe that Trump is a racist. 0:55:52.560 --> 0:55:56.719 They're really dedicated to this idea that the President United 0:55:56.760 --> 0:55:59.279 States is raised. It is so destructive, my friends, and 0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:02.920 really makes me so angry. A little bit of surprising 0:56:04.000 --> 0:56:10.280 political stuff coming today from none other than than Axel Rose. 0:56:10.680 --> 0:56:12.920 And you know, for those who who you know, those 0:56:12.960 --> 0:56:14.400 of you who are a little on the young side, 0:56:14.480 --> 0:56:18.480 you may not know really who Axel Rose is, because 0:56:18.560 --> 0:56:21.439 he was a huge deal really in the eighties and 0:56:21.520 --> 0:56:23.839 he is the lead singer of the band Gun was 0:56:24.080 --> 0:56:28.279 is uh I guess was Guns and Roses. And he 0:56:28.320 --> 0:56:32.480 went after Trump today and we happened to have a 0:56:32.480 --> 0:56:36.640 a Axel Rose expert of sorts with us Brandon DJ Brandon, 0:56:36.640 --> 0:56:38.920 who runs the board, is an expert in all things 0:56:38.920 --> 0:56:42.000 accel Rose Brandon walk us through this feud with the 0:56:42.040 --> 0:56:45.000 former G and R frontman and Trump. Well he is 0:56:45.040 --> 0:56:47.680 the current G and R frontman. Oh, gene are still 0:56:47.680 --> 0:56:49.640 a thing, so you don't even know that they well 0:56:50.719 --> 0:56:53.239 to make it sure they reunited and I guess had 0:56:53.239 --> 0:56:55.680 the fourth most successful tour of all time last year. 0:56:55.719 --> 0:56:58.960 But wait, are you serious they're actually doing well. That's 0:56:59.000 --> 0:57:01.399 amazing because it's tell you what the state of music 0:57:01.480 --> 0:57:04.000 is today. Now now they're they're alive and well, now 0:57:04.040 --> 0:57:08.160 it's amazing. But um axcel is. He tweets very few 0:57:08.160 --> 0:57:12.320 in farm between, he doesn't follow anybody, usually not being important, 0:57:12.360 --> 0:57:15.799 but lately he's been very political and recently he went 0:57:15.880 --> 0:57:18.600 on kind of like a tirade for the first time 0:57:18.640 --> 0:57:21.360 really coming calling out Trump supporters and saying that it's 0:57:21.360 --> 0:57:25.520 okay that he can't uh pick his fans uh and 0:57:25.680 --> 0:57:29.240 basically says the White House is uh, it's an emergency state. 0:57:29.520 --> 0:57:32.880 And he's tweeted him voting, putting in his his envelope 0:57:33.400 --> 0:57:35.960 out there and you know, vote blue. So he's uh, 0:57:35.960 --> 0:57:39.760 he's attacking Donald Trump and the entire administration. Says that 0:57:39.880 --> 0:57:42.040 represents all of guns and roses. That's how they feel. 0:57:42.040 --> 0:57:44.600 And that started because sweet child the Mind has been 0:57:44.600 --> 0:57:47.560 played at Trump rallies and he can't do a season 0:57:47.600 --> 0:57:50.560 desist because of some sort of loophole. Here here's what 0:57:50.600 --> 0:57:54.000 he says about it, actually tweeted out. Unfortunately, Trump campaign 0:57:54.600 --> 0:57:58.040 is using loopholes and the various venues blanket performance licenses 0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:01.120 which were not intended for such craz even political purposes, 0:58:01.160 --> 0:58:03.840 without the songwriter's consent. So, as I understand it, if 0:58:03.880 --> 0:58:07.040 you are in an arena, the arena has the rights 0:58:07.040 --> 0:58:10.640 to music that it can play, and the venue can 0:58:10.680 --> 0:58:14.200 play the music without anyone say so under the licenses 0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:17.840 that they have, because usually they license out these music 0:58:17.880 --> 0:58:21.960 catalogs to uh, you know, to like the Staples Center 0:58:22.040 --> 0:58:23.920 or whatever, and they figure they're gonna be played mostly 0:58:23.960 --> 0:58:26.320 at other concerts of sporting events, so no one really cares. 0:58:26.520 --> 0:58:28.760 But for political events now they play them, and I 0:58:28.800 --> 0:58:31.600 gotta say, I like this. Trump is clearly the more 0:58:31.600 --> 0:58:33.640 of these artists complain about it, the more Trump is 0:58:33.680 --> 0:58:36.360 gonna do it. Why not why not troll? Why not troll? 0:58:36.480 --> 0:58:40.640 Beyonce and Rihanna and Axel Rose. Why not. It's it's 0:58:40.720 --> 0:58:43.760 quite amazing. And I see the comments of the fans, 0:58:43.800 --> 0:58:45.600 people saying, you know, I've been a fan all my 0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:48.600 life and now I'm not so But he's putting his 0:58:48.600 --> 0:58:51.040 his foot down. He doesn't care. It's the same you know, 0:58:51.160 --> 0:58:54.040 a line of thinking as Bruce Springsteen or Green Day. 0:58:54.160 --> 0:58:57.280 They're just he's put putting his political views out there. 0:58:58.320 --> 0:59:02.200 I think everybody and Energy Aiment should take the position 0:59:02.280 --> 0:59:06.000 of of Michael Jordan's on this one, which is Republicans 0:59:06.000 --> 0:59:10.840 by sneakers too. It's true Republicans by sneakers to um anyway. 0:59:10.880 --> 0:59:12.520 So I just I felt like we had to because 0:59:12.520 --> 0:59:14.800 we do have a Brandon what your your podcast is? 0:59:14.840 --> 0:59:17.320 What again? It's like Axel Rose Through the Ages or something, 0:59:17.360 --> 0:59:21.000 what do you do close enough appetite for distortion? Actually 0:59:21.040 --> 0:59:24.280 my last episode we we spoke about that because I mean, 0:59:24.720 --> 0:59:27.680 in regards like Ted Nugent, you know, like I don't 0:59:27.680 --> 0:59:29.400 go to his concerts because I don't want to hear 0:59:29.760 --> 0:59:33.920 it being politicized. So um. So yeah, it's just, uh, 0:59:34.120 --> 0:59:37.080 you wouldn't think in two thousand eighteen, Axel Rose, I 0:59:37.120 --> 0:59:40.520 think actually Chris Hayes called him woke. He tweeted, so 0:59:40.600 --> 0:59:44.200 it's being taken notice by the liberal media. Axel Rose 0:59:44.320 --> 0:59:46.080 is woken out. Yeah, I guess he's woke until he 0:59:46.120 --> 0:59:48.560 trashes a hotel room and a bunch of you know, 0:59:48.600 --> 0:59:50.760 a bunch of people who are recent immigrants have to 0:59:50.800 --> 0:59:53.080 clean up after him, like And I don't know about 0:59:53.160 --> 0:59:55.320 him being woke. I think people might wanna they might 0:59:55.360 --> 0:59:57.240 want to chill on that a little bit there. But 0:59:57.320 --> 1:00:00.440 you know, there is there is that. Um there's a 1:00:00.480 --> 1:00:03.040 phenomenon that I want to dig a moment to address here, 1:00:03.080 --> 1:00:08.560 which is the the dishonesty that we see of people 1:00:08.600 --> 1:00:13.160 who claim to be Republicans and advocate voting for Democrats. Now, 1:00:13.600 --> 1:00:15.480 there are a lot of areas where you could you 1:00:15.480 --> 1:00:18.440 could get into a bit of um, you know, a 1:00:18.480 --> 1:00:20.000 bit of a back and forth on this right. There's 1:00:20.040 --> 1:00:23.880 a lot of people say, oh, well, there they're still 1:00:23.880 --> 1:00:28.000 conservative and Trump is not. But at this point, if 1:00:28.000 --> 1:00:29.680 you want to step away, and I know some very 1:00:29.720 --> 1:00:32.840 talented conservative writers who can't be who won't really openly 1:00:32.880 --> 1:00:35.160 back Trump, well back some of his policies, but they've 1:00:35.200 --> 1:00:38.760 kind of stepped they've stepped away, meaning they're saying, all right, 1:00:38.840 --> 1:00:42.160 this isn't really my administration. I'll still call some balls 1:00:42.160 --> 1:00:45.000 and strikes, but I don't stand that they won't stand 1:00:45.040 --> 1:00:49.280 against Trump, but they certainly won't stand with the other side. 1:00:49.040 --> 1:00:52.800 I can understand that. I obviously don't agree with it. 1:00:52.880 --> 1:00:56.640 I think it's shortsighted. I think it lacks some judgment. 1:00:57.080 --> 1:00:59.440 But I do think that there's there are principles at 1:00:59.440 --> 1:01:02.680 work there that I can understand and respect. I can't 1:01:02.760 --> 1:01:06.560 understand and respect these people who are I'm a Republican 1:01:06.760 --> 1:01:09.880 now vote for all the Democrats. How how is that 1:01:10.000 --> 1:01:12.720 supposed to work? Exactly? I mean, how does that help 1:01:12.800 --> 1:01:16.680 the situation in any way? It just strikes me as 1:01:16.720 --> 1:01:20.240 being well, it's it's careerism, and it's really also about ego, 1:01:20.320 --> 1:01:25.480 because a lot of Republican establishment figures, UH care first 1:01:25.520 --> 1:01:29.240 and foremost about their position within the Republican ranks, whether 1:01:29.280 --> 1:01:32.560 in media or in in the political world. And they 1:01:32.680 --> 1:01:35.840 won't they won't back down off of this. They they're 1:01:35.880 --> 1:01:39.120 not willing to say, you know what I should, I 1:01:39.120 --> 1:01:42.800 should chill out. This isn't all about me. Here's um here, 1:01:42.840 --> 1:01:45.800 Here's a montage courtesy of our main man producer Mike, 1:01:46.240 --> 1:01:49.600 where you just hear some of this from from different quote. 1:01:49.640 --> 1:01:56.120 Republicans play fifteen. The Party of Trump must be destroyed politically. 1:01:56.240 --> 1:01:59.440 I am urging everybody to vote straight ticket Democratic in 1:01:59.520 --> 1:02:01.840 November because I think it is imperative think at some 1:02:01.920 --> 1:02:04.960 checks and balances. I left the party about five weeks ago. 1:02:05.200 --> 1:02:08.320 I think Democrat should take the House, thankful, be safer 1:02:08.400 --> 1:02:12.720 in a divided government. Those are all people who appear 1:02:12.800 --> 1:02:15.320 on TV and I guess and maybe in some cases 1:02:15.400 --> 1:02:18.320 until recently as Republicans. I mean they come from the 1:02:18.440 --> 1:02:21.120 gen Reuben of the Washington Post school of Republicans, which 1:02:21.160 --> 1:02:24.920 is you only exist so that to bash Republicans and 1:02:25.000 --> 1:02:26.919 say you're a Republican when you do it, that that's 1:02:26.960 --> 1:02:30.880 your thing, that's your hook. I find these people gross. 1:02:31.400 --> 1:02:33.560 You know, I could sit you know some of you. 1:02:33.800 --> 1:02:36.320 I think we're a little uh, you know you. You 1:02:36.360 --> 1:02:38.400 wanted me to get into it a little bit more 1:02:38.400 --> 1:02:41.400 aggressively with with Jank Weeger of the Young Church when 1:02:41.440 --> 1:02:43.920 he came on Rising, but we were having look one 1:02:44.040 --> 1:02:45.880 is that it wasn't a wonder one conversation. I have 1:02:45.880 --> 1:02:48.360 to also be respectful of Crystal's time, and she's progressive 1:02:48.400 --> 1:02:50.440 and she's sitting there, so it's a difficult dynamic. But 1:02:50.520 --> 1:02:53.960 also we were having a real conversation. He was answering questions. 1:02:53.960 --> 1:02:55.240 I mean, he said a couple of things that were 1:02:55.240 --> 1:02:58.800 a little, you know, a little bombastic and a little silly, 1:02:58.840 --> 1:03:01.840 but you know, overall he was he was. We were 1:03:01.880 --> 1:03:04.840 having a conversation about stuff that matters to people. And 1:03:04.840 --> 1:03:07.640 whenever somebody wants to do that, I I like to 1:03:07.680 --> 1:03:09.800 respond in kind. I don't you know, if I say 1:03:09.880 --> 1:03:11.480 what do you think about healthcare? And someone says I 1:03:11.520 --> 1:03:14.200 like single pair, I'm not gonna start saying, oh, you're 1:03:14.200 --> 1:03:16.200 just a stupid commie you why don't you go shut 1:03:16.240 --> 1:03:19.200 your stupid face? Right If they say, well, I like 1:03:19.280 --> 1:03:22.720 single pair, unlike you, you racist Republican that doesn't care 1:03:22.720 --> 1:03:25.800 about poor people or healthcare, then I'll, you know, go 1:03:25.880 --> 1:03:27.640 to that other level, right. I mean, I I think 1:03:27.680 --> 1:03:30.520 that that's it's not even just a question of being respectful. 1:03:30.560 --> 1:03:33.440 I just think that that's a more sane approach to 1:03:33.480 --> 1:03:37.400 these issues. But with these Republicans quote Republicans that are 1:03:37.440 --> 1:03:41.520 out there, I just wonder, what do they think the 1:03:41.640 --> 1:03:44.520 endgame is here? Do they think that will forget that 1:03:44.600 --> 1:03:52.240 they stood for the party of Pelosi, Schumer, uh Ocasio Cortes, 1:03:52.760 --> 1:03:56.480 Bernie Sanders, all all these types, you know, Adam Shift, 1:03:56.520 --> 1:03:59.840 I mean, some really slimy, gross characters and the left. 1:04:00.080 --> 1:04:03.640 They they voted, they advocated publicly voting for these people. 1:04:04.800 --> 1:04:07.400 It's one thing to step away and say you can't 1:04:07.440 --> 1:04:10.880 support something. Everybody has that right, uh, But it's another 1:04:10.920 --> 1:04:13.120 thing to say, I'm gonna support your enemies out of 1:04:13.240 --> 1:04:16.280 out of spite, even though I'm supposed to be on 1:04:16.320 --> 1:04:19.080 your team. And I just think it's Look, I think 1:04:19.080 --> 1:04:21.920 that they're Republican turn coats. I really do. And you know, 1:04:22.000 --> 1:04:23.520 there are a couple of them who are people that 1:04:23.560 --> 1:04:28.520 I've considered, if not friends, certainly kind of colleagues. And 1:04:29.120 --> 1:04:32.240 I find it very disappointing. And I don't know why 1:04:32.280 --> 1:04:34.560 they can't figure it out. I don't know why they 1:04:34.600 --> 1:04:37.640 can't see what's happening to the country, and what's happened 1:04:37.640 --> 1:04:40.960 on the Supreme Court, what's happening to federal judiciary, and 1:04:40.960 --> 1:04:43.440 and in so many different ways, and say these are 1:04:43.440 --> 1:04:47.360 good things. Not perfect. Trump is far from perfect, but 1:04:47.480 --> 1:04:49.720 this is what we should get. This is what we 1:04:49.800 --> 1:04:54.800 want from our politicians and from our president. I just 1:04:55.720 --> 1:04:58.560 I think the act wears very thin here for these 1:04:58.600 --> 1:05:06.360 fake conservatives. It's the economy, stupid. We are growing, you know, 1:05:07.200 --> 1:05:10.440 three point five percent and to three four point two percent, 1:05:10.640 --> 1:05:14.720 to two three overall, my friends on the other side 1:05:14.720 --> 1:05:16.760 of the out side, you couldn't be too We are 1:05:16.800 --> 1:05:21.040 now beating three. This is the biggest single story of 1:05:21.800 --> 1:05:28.160 eighteen and it is not going away. The economy is roaring. 1:05:28.280 --> 1:05:30.240 In fact, the economy is so good, as you know, 1:05:30.520 --> 1:05:34.040 with this mid term election today that a lot of 1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:38.000 us around and say, what else could Republicans realistically be 1:05:38.120 --> 1:05:41.480 expected to do to win votes of people who are 1:05:41.560 --> 1:05:45.439 persuadable and what what else could be really ask for 1:05:45.600 --> 1:05:50.160 beyond an economy that is exceeding anything that we saw 1:05:51.160 --> 1:05:53.920 during the Obama years. And we know this, by the way, 1:05:53.920 --> 1:05:57.160 because there were there were efforts made to excuse some 1:05:57.240 --> 1:05:59.240 of the weak aspects of the Obama economy. And I 1:05:59.280 --> 1:06:01.400 mean in years six, seven, and eight, I don't mean 1:06:01.440 --> 1:06:04.200 the first couple of years, by the way. The the 1:06:04.560 --> 1:06:08.960 greatest luck, as it were, for the Obama for the 1:06:09.000 --> 1:06:12.640 Obama administration was that he came in with an economy 1:06:12.720 --> 1:06:17.320 that was in a cyclical recession essentially, and all he 1:06:17.360 --> 1:06:19.600 did would spend a trillion dollars a taxpayer money on 1:06:19.640 --> 1:06:21.840 stuff that didn't need we didn't need to spend money on, 1:06:22.280 --> 1:06:24.400 and then make sure the recovery was a lot slower 1:06:24.400 --> 1:06:26.240 and a lot less strong than it would have otherwise been, 1:06:26.520 --> 1:06:31.560 by raising taxes, by imposing more regulations, by creating business uncertainty. 1:06:31.600 --> 1:06:35.120 But you know, presidents don't determine every aspect of the 1:06:35.120 --> 1:06:40.040 economy economy. You could have had a goldfish be president 1:06:40.080 --> 1:06:44.840 after the recession and eventually the economy would rebound because 1:06:44.880 --> 1:06:47.960 the president isn't the economy, right. So the thing that's 1:06:47.960 --> 1:06:50.200 so lucky at the Obama aministration is that because the 1:06:50.320 --> 1:06:54.400 standard for where the economy was was, or rather because 1:06:54.440 --> 1:06:57.040 the the level of economy was so low, it was 1:06:57.080 --> 1:06:59.200 inevitable it was going to get better over time. I 1:06:59.200 --> 1:07:01.880 mean it was inevitab bowl because remember Obama didn't do 1:07:01.960 --> 1:07:04.360 the bank bailout. I always think that that somehow gets 1:07:04.360 --> 1:07:06.400 lost here. It wasn't that Obama came up with some 1:07:06.440 --> 1:07:09.360 plan to save the economy. You know what's really interesting 1:07:09.400 --> 1:07:11.320 is when you ask liberals, Okay, so what did Obama 1:07:11.360 --> 1:07:15.840 do for this great recovery. You you know, Keynesie and stimulus. 1:07:15.880 --> 1:07:18.800 Well even Paul Krubin. Krubin was saying at the time, 1:07:19.240 --> 1:07:21.200 you know, a year or two in the Kynesie and stimulus, 1:07:21.240 --> 1:07:23.760 stimulus didn't work. It was too small, they didn't spend 1:07:23.880 --> 1:07:26.760 enough money and all kinds of stuff. We're just throwing 1:07:26.800 --> 1:07:29.600 a trillion dollars of your money, essentially putting on the 1:07:29.640 --> 1:07:32.960 taxpayers credit card and spending in all kinds of things 1:07:33.000 --> 1:07:35.640 Democrats wanted to spend it on. Well, you know, they didn't. 1:07:35.840 --> 1:07:38.120 And people talk about the job creation everything else. I mean, 1:07:39.120 --> 1:07:40.760 first of all, a lot of the jobs were in 1:07:41.320 --> 1:07:43.840 relatively low wage sectors, so you have a lot of 1:07:43.840 --> 1:07:46.480 people getting service industry jobs, which I don't think you 1:07:46.480 --> 1:07:49.120 could say that that's something that we want to see 1:07:49.360 --> 1:07:52.120 as as a continuing trend. We really want to see 1:07:52.120 --> 1:07:54.680 wage growth. You didn't have that. But you know when 1:07:54.680 --> 1:07:56.520 you break down all the numbers and you see that 1:07:56.680 --> 1:08:01.280 there's this mythology now around what Bomba was able to do, 1:08:01.880 --> 1:08:05.640 and it's completely and cynically created. It's really fabricated by 1:08:05.680 --> 1:08:09.000 the left and on the left. And keep in mind 1:08:09.240 --> 1:08:11.280 that if we were I mean, I just want to 1:08:11.320 --> 1:08:13.240 I want to say this right now. This is I've 1:08:13.280 --> 1:08:15.080 been telling you all day to predict No one can 1:08:15.080 --> 1:08:17.439 predict the future. It's one of the more interesting lectures 1:08:18.000 --> 1:08:20.040 from Michael Crichton that I think I've told you about 1:08:20.040 --> 1:08:21.760 in the past, where he just talks about nobody can 1:08:21.760 --> 1:08:23.799 predict it. And he really is somebody who paid attention 1:08:23.840 --> 1:08:28.960 to this because so much futuristic predictions stuff. For rather 1:08:29.000 --> 1:08:32.280 being able to see into the future is is media 1:08:32.640 --> 1:08:37.120 and creative kind of creative arts related. But you know, 1:08:37.320 --> 1:08:38.800 you got all these people go on TV, Oh, I 1:08:38.800 --> 1:08:41.320 can see the future on any number the whole you know, 1:08:41.360 --> 1:08:43.640 the stock market, all these things. Oh, people can no one, 1:08:43.720 --> 1:08:45.799 no one can really predict the future. It's just assessing 1:08:45.800 --> 1:08:51.320 probability and then taking reasonable risk on but no one 1:08:51.400 --> 1:08:54.960 really knows. And you know, I think that's important. But 1:08:55.040 --> 1:08:56.760 you look at you look at where things are now 1:08:56.800 --> 1:09:00.280 with the economy, and here here's the big line right 1:09:00.320 --> 1:09:01.760 as everyone's going to the I know some of you 1:09:01.800 --> 1:09:03.760 are probably still voting as you hear this, although it's 1:09:03.760 --> 1:09:06.599 getting pretty late, pretty late in the game for most places. 1:09:06.640 --> 1:09:09.160 If you're still in line, don't go anywhere. If you're 1:09:09.160 --> 1:09:11.960 listening to me on your iPhone or your Android. Don't 1:09:11.960 --> 1:09:15.920 go anywhere. Stay in line and vote, please, please, please. 1:09:16.560 --> 1:09:19.400 Some of these elections are probably gonna come down to 1:09:19.439 --> 1:09:22.640 a very very thin margin, all right, if you're in 1:09:22.720 --> 1:09:31.479 particularly Florida, Indiana, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, New Jersey. I hope, 1:09:31.479 --> 1:09:36.000 but probably not as much. Please stay and vote. I 1:09:36.000 --> 1:09:38.360 mean I would say, I would say, Tennessee, I think 1:09:38.400 --> 1:09:44.640 Blackburn's gonna kick reticence, but pretty handily. So what what 1:09:44.800 --> 1:09:48.000 you what the Obama economy line, though, you know that 1:09:48.040 --> 1:09:50.840 it's garbage, because let's say that in the next month, 1:09:50.880 --> 1:09:52.920 all of a sudden, we saw the signs of a 1:09:53.120 --> 1:09:58.160 really spooked economy, meaning we saw, you know, huge drop 1:09:58.160 --> 1:10:01.280 off in the drop off in the stock market. People's 1:10:01.280 --> 1:10:04.519 four oh one case getting crushed. But the people always say, oh, well, 1:10:04.960 --> 1:10:06.320 you know I'm not in the stock market. Do you 1:10:06.360 --> 1:10:10.040 have a pension plan? Because pension plans are all based 1:10:10.200 --> 1:10:14.759 on growth and earnings from the markets. So no, nobody 1:10:14.840 --> 1:10:17.080 is really immune from this stuff, right, The housing markets 1:10:17.080 --> 1:10:20.200 affected by this. Every you know, your asset prices, everything 1:10:20.280 --> 1:10:22.760 is affected by the market. So, and I don't like 1:10:22.800 --> 1:10:24.720 to I hear this from a lot of leftist will oh, well, 1:10:24.760 --> 1:10:27.400 you know, only only Americans were even invested in the 1:10:27.400 --> 1:10:30.879 stock market. It's not really true because the markets more broadly, 1:10:30.920 --> 1:10:34.480 bond market, stock market, currency markets, all of that effects 1:10:34.920 --> 1:10:38.600 every aspect of the economy. So there again there's a 1:10:38.600 --> 1:10:40.920 lot of a lot of you know, economic ignorance on 1:10:40.920 --> 1:10:43.120 the left. They kind of revel in it really so 1:10:44.160 --> 1:10:47.519 eight the Obama they call it the Obama recovery now 1:10:47.520 --> 1:10:49.800 because it's so good, and they can't say it's not good. 1:10:49.840 --> 1:10:52.120 It's just they just sound foolish. If we had a 1:10:52.200 --> 1:10:56.400 huge correction, I promise you they would stop referring to 1:10:56.439 --> 1:10:59.000 it as the Obama economy that day and now it's 1:10:59.000 --> 1:11:01.800 Trump's economy. And that's how you know that it's just 1:11:02.800 --> 1:11:06.920 it's just partisan garbage. I mean, they're not really analyzing 1:11:07.040 --> 1:11:12.800 or assessing anything. In no way are they looking at 1:11:12.800 --> 1:11:15.880 this objectively and saying, yeah, you know what, we we 1:11:15.960 --> 1:11:18.120 think that it is the Obama economy. They just want 1:11:18.160 --> 1:11:20.559 to try to take credit for something that they think 1:11:20.560 --> 1:11:22.720 will be politically useful for them, and that's what is 1:11:22.800 --> 1:11:25.840 driving all us. That's what it's really about. So that's 1:11:25.880 --> 1:11:28.479 my my message on the economy. I just hope that 1:11:29.400 --> 1:11:31.519 we can continue in this trajectory. We are going to 1:11:31.600 --> 1:11:33.439 have a reset at some point. I mean that's not 1:11:34.200 --> 1:11:35.840 you know, I can't tell you when. I'll just tell 1:11:35.880 --> 1:11:39.160 you will. And that's just based in history. There will 1:11:39.200 --> 1:11:41.479 be a reset, and they will all blame if it 1:11:41.560 --> 1:11:43.840 happens on Trump's watch, They'll blame it all on Trump 1:11:43.880 --> 1:11:46.080 and tax cuts. And you know what the script will be. 1:11:46.439 --> 1:11:49.240 And that's really when I get concerned about a possible 1:11:49.280 --> 1:11:53.439 move toward real, real socialism in this country is if 1:11:53.479 --> 1:11:56.680 we have a huge Remember we were told that the 1:11:56.880 --> 1:12:03.200 entire global financial market almost collapsed in two thousand and 1:12:03.600 --> 1:12:06.719 two thousand and eight. I mean that that that's gospel. 1:12:06.720 --> 1:12:09.560 We were told that if we didn't take drastic measures, 1:12:09.560 --> 1:12:13.280 that we would have had, uh, you know, kind of 1:12:13.360 --> 1:12:16.479 contagion where no one can get any credit, the markets 1:12:16.520 --> 1:12:19.160 all freeze up, and the whole thing just collapses around us, 1:12:19.680 --> 1:12:22.320 and we'd have to build build their economic markets back up, 1:12:22.400 --> 1:12:26.280 or rather our global markets back up from scratch. And 1:12:26.479 --> 1:12:29.240 you know, whether that's a little exaggerated or not, that 1:12:29.360 --> 1:12:32.360 was ten years ago and that's where we were, and 1:12:32.360 --> 1:12:34.280 that's what the so called smart folks say about it. 1:12:34.320 --> 1:12:37.400 So you can imagine that right now, there's nothing that 1:12:38.080 --> 1:12:39.840 makes it beyond the pale that we could have a 1:12:39.880 --> 1:12:43.759 similar problem right now, we could have a similar issue 1:12:43.800 --> 1:12:45.880 that would come up in the next six months, of 1:12:45.880 --> 1:12:47.599 the next six years, who know who knows. I can't 1:12:47.600 --> 1:12:49.040 tell you the timing. I don't pretend to be able 1:12:49.040 --> 1:12:51.360 to tell you the time, but just remember that they will. 1:12:51.680 --> 1:12:54.160 The day that the economy goes bad is the day 1:12:54.200 --> 1:12:57.080 that they stopped talking about the Obama recovery. And that's 1:12:57.080 --> 1:12:59.559 just because they're a bunch of dishonest hacks and they 1:12:59.560 --> 1:13:02.080 don't want to deal with the fact that when you 1:13:02.360 --> 1:13:04.679 unleash the American people to do what they do best, 1:13:04.720 --> 1:13:07.200 when the business of the American people is business, we 1:13:07.280 --> 1:13:11.599 all prosper. And that's what Trump has done. Okay, so 1:13:11.760 --> 1:13:13.519 you've got a job opening. You want to get a 1:13:13.560 --> 1:13:16.240 filled with the best person as fast and efficiently as 1:13:16.240 --> 1:13:19.760 he can.

So you put 1:13:26.680 --> 1:13:29.719 out some kind of like local Facebook ad or something 1:13:29.760 --> 1:13:32.400 and hope that you get the right person.

I think one of the greatest disconnects between 1:14:39.120 --> 1:14:42.880 the left and the right in politics today is that 1:14:42.960 --> 1:14:49.040 the left really believes that people on the right are mean, uncaring. 1:14:49.320 --> 1:14:52.719 We don't care about the poor, We only care about 1:14:52.840 --> 1:14:55.800 rich people, even though a vast, vast majority of us 1:14:55.840 --> 1:14:57.840 and more than a majority, I mean, a very small 1:14:57.880 --> 1:15:01.559 percentage of us are rich on the right, but we 1:15:01.600 --> 1:15:05.160 don't care about poor people. We only care about wealthy 1:15:05.240 --> 1:15:08.920 people and white people. And we're me I mean, this 1:15:09.000 --> 1:15:11.760 is really this idea on the left, and it and 1:15:11.840 --> 1:15:16.160 it continues and it for as long as I've been 1:15:16.200 --> 1:15:20.040 aware of politics and following it so stretching back to 1:15:21.240 --> 1:15:24.400 probably my high school years, there has been this idea 1:15:24.400 --> 1:15:30.280 out there that Republicans are mean. That amazing Grace singing 1:15:30.720 --> 1:15:36.479 was going on at a Trump rally that was just 1:15:36.840 --> 1:15:42.639 yesterday out in Cape Girardo and a woman, I believe 1:15:42.680 --> 1:15:46.240 it was a woman um appeared to fall ill and 1:15:46.240 --> 1:15:49.639 and fainted, which you know in crowd situations that can happen. 1:15:49.720 --> 1:15:52.120 You get overheated, you get tired standing up. She fainted, 1:15:52.560 --> 1:15:57.559 and that Trump crowd everyone there spontaneously started singing Amazing 1:15:57.560 --> 1:15:59.400 Grace as a doctor was called in to tend to 1:15:59.479 --> 1:16:03.240 this person. Understanding is that the person was was fine. 1:16:03.280 --> 1:16:06.360 I don't believe anything serious happened, but I just think 1:16:06.400 --> 1:16:09.920 it was. It was one of those unscripted moments where 1:16:09.960 --> 1:16:14.320 you got a window into how the people that support 1:16:14.360 --> 1:16:18.320 Trump really feel and who they are and what this 1:16:18.360 --> 1:16:21.439 president actually thinks. Look that the President Trump is is 1:16:21.479 --> 1:16:25.000 an imperfect vessel. You don't need me to tell you that. 1:16:25.040 --> 1:16:28.280 You know that, right. President Trump is a flawed man, 1:16:28.439 --> 1:16:31.000 like we're all flawed people, and in some ways he 1:16:31.120 --> 1:16:36.160 is particularly perhaps idiosyncratic and maybe even extreme in certain flaws. 1:16:36.800 --> 1:16:40.920 But he also really is doing this because he cares 1:16:40.960 --> 1:16:44.479 about the country. Sure, he's got a very healthy and 1:16:44.520 --> 1:16:47.840 that's putting a mildly ego, and he has his appetites 1:16:47.880 --> 1:16:52.080 that he uh, you know, engages and you know, there's 1:16:52.080 --> 1:16:55.320 a lot of things that you can criticize about this president, 1:16:55.720 --> 1:16:58.599 but in terms of his ability to hold the office 1:16:58.640 --> 1:17:01.360 that he does, on to the pressures that he does 1:17:01.680 --> 1:17:07.280 and push for what he's been doing since the very beginning, 1:17:07.960 --> 1:17:10.760 he's really incredible. I mean, he's he's a phenomenon. But 1:17:10.840 --> 1:17:12.640 there's also a component of this that I feel like 1:17:12.760 --> 1:17:17.720 doesn't ever get talked about, and it doesn't certainly is 1:17:18.120 --> 1:17:21.479 not covered in the by the media, and there's no 1:17:21.560 --> 1:17:25.000 effort to provide this balance whatever. There's so much about how, 1:17:25.560 --> 1:17:28.840 you know, Obama, the person Obama was so likable, and 1:17:28.880 --> 1:17:31.640 they do this to people who aren't nearly as charismatic 1:17:31.680 --> 1:17:33.360 as Obama was. Right, They'll do this with you know, 1:17:33.439 --> 1:17:37.519 Joe Biden. No, Joe Biden is so likable. Oh, you know, 1:17:37.560 --> 1:17:40.639 they'll tell these little anecdotes to really make the make 1:17:40.720 --> 1:17:45.360 the person, the candidate, the politician seem like they're relatable. 1:17:45.439 --> 1:17:47.680 That's that's the really the special word in politics is 1:17:47.720 --> 1:17:54.920 this person relatable. And I would just offer that President 1:17:54.960 --> 1:18:00.840 Trump is highly relatable two people across the country and 1:18:00.920 --> 1:18:04.720 the moment that you take his political positions out of it. 1:18:04.760 --> 1:18:07.559 I mean, if you just put Trump on a street 1:18:07.600 --> 1:18:11.519 corner talking to a bunch of construction workers of any race, 1:18:11.920 --> 1:18:15.960 of any political persuasion, and just talking to them like 1:18:15.960 --> 1:18:20.160 a normal person, would they would like Trump? And I 1:18:20.200 --> 1:18:22.639 think they would like Trump because as much as he's 1:18:22.640 --> 1:18:25.920 a billionaire and and is a playboy and all these things, 1:18:26.439 --> 1:18:30.679 I think that he has always had a respect for 1:18:31.280 --> 1:18:34.640 the common man, for everyday folks. He likes them. It's 1:18:34.680 --> 1:18:36.599 it's more than even just respect. He has an affinity 1:18:36.680 --> 1:18:40.160 for them. He likes talking to normal people. He likes 1:18:40.200 --> 1:18:44.920 the way that everyday individuals engage with each other. And 1:18:45.080 --> 1:18:48.360 that's a big part of what's been so revolutionary about 1:18:48.400 --> 1:18:52.000 him and and so has so differentiated him from previous 1:18:52.000 --> 1:18:55.799 GOP candidates. You know, it's not that I'm not aware 1:18:55.880 --> 1:18:59.799 of his shortcomings. GE's that I think I'm over time 1:19:00.080 --> 1:19:03.760 more acutely aware of what is particularly special about him 1:19:03.840 --> 1:19:06.960 as a politician. Alright, I'm not gonna grow up or 1:19:07.240 --> 1:19:09.840 grow up. I'm pretty old right now. Somebody today told 1:19:09.880 --> 1:19:12.040 me they thought I was thirty. By the way, that was. 1:19:12.080 --> 1:19:14.880 That was nice. So yeah, at about six years onto 1:19:14.920 --> 1:19:17.120 that one soon to be seven. But he goes, you 1:19:17.160 --> 1:19:19.479 can't be over thirty, I said. It was a fellow 1:19:19.560 --> 1:19:21.760 journalist by the way, I said, Oh no, I'm I'm 1:19:21.800 --> 1:19:26.160 over thirty, all right, I'm over thirty. Uh. Anyway, I'm 1:19:26.160 --> 1:19:28.400 not gonna tell my kids to emulate every aspect of 1:19:28.439 --> 1:19:31.439 Trump's personality. Maybe I do need to work on a 1:19:31.439 --> 1:19:33.080 Trump impression. By the way, I don't know if you 1:19:33.080 --> 1:19:35.120 guys ever want to hear a Trump impression. I feel 1:19:35.120 --> 1:19:37.320 like most of the Trump impressions that I come across, 1:19:37.680 --> 1:19:40.680 including from conservatives, are pretty lame, and I think that 1:19:40.760 --> 1:19:43.559 a lame Trump impression is something I really want to avoid. 1:19:43.600 --> 1:19:48.280 But anyway, but when this singing broke out at at 1:19:48.320 --> 1:19:51.519 this at this rally in Missouri, and the Trump people 1:19:51.560 --> 1:19:54.200 are all gathered there, and you just saw this other 1:19:54.240 --> 1:19:57.599 side of it, which is that the Trump phenomenon, all 1:19:57.640 --> 1:20:00.880 these different Republicans, conservatives and people who even and voted 1:20:00.880 --> 1:20:04.639 for Obama before, people who aren't ideologically on the right, 1:20:04.720 --> 1:20:09.599 or at least not in a traditional conservative way. They 1:20:09.680 --> 1:20:12.439 want what's best for the country to you know that 1:20:13.240 --> 1:20:17.200 we've been so force fed. Really two narratives. One is 1:20:17.240 --> 1:20:21.040 that Trump is this this vile ogre who's just mean 1:20:21.160 --> 1:20:23.920 and horrible and lies and yells. I meanwhile, have you 1:20:23.920 --> 1:20:27.240 spent five minutes around the guy. You like him. He's 1:20:27.280 --> 1:20:30.720 a likable guy. You get the sense that you know, 1:20:30.840 --> 1:20:34.719 he would be the he'd be like the dad who 1:20:34.760 --> 1:20:37.519 after school if he wasn't a billionaire. You know, yeah, 1:20:37.560 --> 1:20:39.400 he might tell you to punch the bully in the nose, 1:20:39.479 --> 1:20:40.960 but you'd also you know, give you an out of 1:20:41.000 --> 1:20:42.840 boy pad on the back of the bully kicked your butt, 1:20:42.840 --> 1:20:44.400 you know what I mean. I mean, he's he's a 1:20:44.479 --> 1:20:47.519 guy's guy, and he's a pretty normal guy when it 1:20:47.560 --> 1:20:49.680 comes down to it in terms of his ability to 1:20:49.720 --> 1:20:52.840 relate to people. That's one narrative of the media doesn't 1:20:52.840 --> 1:20:54.960 give you all the other one. Also, it's just that 1:20:55.120 --> 1:20:59.439 the Trump movement isn't just about Oh, it's building walls 1:20:59.520 --> 1:21:02.600 and ex looting people and so nasty and destructive and 1:21:02.640 --> 1:21:08.680 divisive and hateful and racism, all this extreme negativity. Ultimately 1:21:08.760 --> 1:21:12.040 that the Trump voters that I know and the real 1:21:12.080 --> 1:21:15.439 Trump true beliers in the very beginning whether it's people 1:21:15.520 --> 1:21:18.519 who are at the very you know, top of the 1:21:18.560 --> 1:21:20.720 movement in terms of their voice and their platform, or 1:21:20.800 --> 1:21:23.400 just the folks that listen to this show, people that 1:21:23.479 --> 1:21:25.320 call it, people that I talk to, people that are 1:21:25.360 --> 1:21:30.160 emailing me and messaging me. They just want the country 1:21:30.200 --> 1:21:32.920 to do well and everybody in it to be doing well. 1:21:33.600 --> 1:21:37.479 And they want a country that lets us be who 1:21:37.520 --> 1:21:43.080 we are and pursue our own destiny without too much 1:21:44.120 --> 1:21:47.719 just constriction from the government. I mean, you know, the government, 1:21:47.720 --> 1:21:51.160 the federal government really is like a giant boa constrictor 1:21:51.200 --> 1:21:55.320 that will just slowly squeeze not just your funds out 1:21:55.320 --> 1:21:58.719 of you, but also your ability to choose your own path, 1:21:58.800 --> 1:22:01.439 choose your own destiny. You know, tell the government to 1:22:01.520 --> 1:22:04.920 leave us alone. There's always going to be government around us. 1:22:04.960 --> 1:22:06.720 There's this is always gonna be attention. There'll be a 1:22:06.720 --> 1:22:12.120 battle here. But the Trump voters want this country to 1:22:12.240 --> 1:22:16.280 be able to achieve its own greatness. And the way 1:22:16.360 --> 1:22:19.920 for this country to achieve its greatest position in the 1:22:19.960 --> 1:22:24.280 world is to let all of its individuals achieve as 1:22:24.360 --> 1:22:27.559 much as they can. And you know, there's also comfort 1:22:27.840 --> 1:22:32.120 and just being able to make choices. There's comfort in liberty. 1:22:32.680 --> 1:22:36.240 You know, this is something that really separates our society 1:22:36.240 --> 1:22:39.000 from any others. Many places we think of as also 1:22:39.080 --> 1:22:43.360 conformist and strict and even totalitarian, and that's bad, and 1:22:43.400 --> 1:22:46.959 we know that that's contra human nature. But people embrace 1:22:47.040 --> 1:22:50.719 it more than you'd think. A lot of people take 1:22:50.760 --> 1:22:55.960 comfort and solace in the limitations on their decision making, 1:22:56.360 --> 1:22:58.960 in being told what to do and being forced into 1:22:58.960 --> 1:23:02.040 a certain framework. There's an ease with which you can 1:23:02.080 --> 1:23:05.639 embrace being told what to do, being told who you are. 1:23:07.080 --> 1:23:11.760 America is special because we have the ability, we have 1:23:11.880 --> 1:23:14.840 the right, the god given right, to decide who each 1:23:14.880 --> 1:23:19.679 and every one of us are and will be as individuals. 1:23:20.360 --> 1:23:23.559 That is, that is the fundamental That is the the 1:23:23.560 --> 1:23:30.519 the foundational difference between US and many other polities, many 1:23:30.520 --> 1:23:36.320 other nation states, political organizations, countries, whatever, however you want 1:23:36.320 --> 1:23:41.439 to separate them out. That's very important. And the Trump 1:23:41.479 --> 1:23:46.640 movement is fundamentally about doing what is right by and 1:23:46.720 --> 1:23:49.519 for the American people so that we can all benefit 1:23:49.560 --> 1:23:54.639 and prosper. And it's not supposed to be about just 1:23:54.840 --> 1:23:57.880 battling for the sake of battling. The reason we have 1:23:58.080 --> 1:24:01.880 a commander in chief now who clitically battles as hard 1:24:01.920 --> 1:24:05.439 as he does and is willing to fight fire with fire. 1:24:06.080 --> 1:24:08.920 Is because for so long we have been on the 1:24:09.000 --> 1:24:15.760 losing end of approaching every political issue with first and 1:24:15.880 --> 1:24:19.320 foremost a desire to sound a certain way, to appear 1:24:19.360 --> 1:24:22.599 a certain way in the fight, instead of winning the fight. 1:24:23.479 --> 1:24:25.040 And if you think that winning the fight is going 1:24:25.080 --> 1:24:28.080 to make this country a better place for not just 1:24:28.200 --> 1:24:32.040 the million Americans now, but the generations to come, you 1:24:32.160 --> 1:24:37.599 have to be willing to fight hard. Doesn't mean that 1:24:38.240 --> 1:24:40.519 you don't sing amazing grace when it calls time for 1:24:40.600 --> 1:24:44.080 that too.

Yes, 1:25:44.439 --> 1:25:46.800 we've talked a bit about media bias today on the show. 1:25:46.840 --> 1:25:50.479 It's an important thing. One of the obligations, i'd say, 1:25:50.600 --> 1:25:56.320 one of the primary fronts on which conservatives must fight, 1:25:56.439 --> 1:25:59.559 must continue the fight, is this notion that there is 1:25:59.600 --> 1:26:04.400 an unbiased media out there and it's all just fine, 1:26:04.439 --> 1:26:08.800 and conservatives are whining about this or they make a 1:26:08.800 --> 1:26:11.800 big deal out of nothing. And yet every day it 1:26:11.840 --> 1:26:15.600 seems there's yet another instance, another story, another thing that 1:26:15.720 --> 1:26:19.720 happens that just proves the media is even more left 1:26:19.760 --> 1:26:22.720 wing in its bias than we had previously thought. Right, 1:26:22.720 --> 1:26:24.559 It just you just have more and more evidence of 1:26:24.600 --> 1:26:29.519 this that it is an overwhelming echo chamber of left 1:26:29.560 --> 1:26:35.040 wing sentiment, ideology and uh and emotions. And this is 1:26:35.080 --> 1:26:36.760 one of the This is one of the funnier ones 1:26:36.840 --> 1:26:39.920 that I've seen recently. So John James, who is a 1:26:39.960 --> 1:26:44.880 I believe a former fighter pilot. He is running for 1:26:45.040 --> 1:26:50.800 Michigan Michigan Senate and he's actually making a race of it. 1:26:50.920 --> 1:26:54.360 You know, people aren't really spending a lot of time 1:26:54.400 --> 1:26:56.720 talking about this when we have an African American Republican 1:26:56.840 --> 1:26:59.760 former fighter pilot. I mean, this guy. Compare this guy 1:26:59.840 --> 1:27:03.200 for a moment in terms of his star appeal, and 1:27:03.200 --> 1:27:06.679 everything goes to Bato and you're like, Okay, Beato married 1:27:06.800 --> 1:27:09.840 rich and now wants to be a national politician along 1:27:09.880 --> 1:27:12.120 the lines of a John Carey like figure without even 1:27:12.200 --> 1:27:16.639 John Carey's military service. Uh. John James is a butt 1:27:16.720 --> 1:27:22.240 kicking former fighter pilot, African American, very telegenic, very charismatic guy. 1:27:22.240 --> 1:27:24.680 Why have you not heard of him? I mean a 1:27:24.680 --> 1:27:25.600 lot of you have heard him, but you know what 1:27:25.640 --> 1:27:27.000 I mean, why have you not heard of him more? 1:27:27.520 --> 1:27:29.920 Why isn't this a bigger story? Well, this just goes 1:27:29.960 --> 1:27:32.680 to the overall buyas. But this is classic, I mean, 1:27:32.720 --> 1:27:36.600 this is this is really one of these things where 1:27:36.640 --> 1:27:39.639 you know, you gotta just go through life now pretty 1:27:39.720 --> 1:27:42.599 much assuming if you're in an office at least probably 1:27:42.640 --> 1:27:46.240 at home too, but if you're in office that everything 1:27:46.280 --> 1:27:50.400 you say could get caught on a live mike, and 1:27:50.479 --> 1:27:55.639 in this case it's a live telephone. So a reporter 1:27:55.720 --> 1:27:59.839 named Brenda Battle, who is a reporter for the Huron 1:28:00.400 --> 1:28:04.280 Daily Tribune, called on Monday to set up an interview 1:28:04.280 --> 1:28:06.960 with James after the midterm election so that they could, 1:28:06.960 --> 1:28:08.800 of course talked about what happened. Right, No one really 1:28:08.800 --> 1:28:11.440 knows in advance, but they want to set this up anyway. 1:28:11.720 --> 1:28:14.719 And it's just so funny because what you have here 1:28:15.320 --> 1:28:18.559 is the encapsulation of the liberal media. I know there's 1:28:18.600 --> 1:28:23.080 just one reporter, but it's symbolic. It's emblematic of so 1:28:23.160 --> 1:28:26.439 many of these reporters in how they really think, how 1:28:26.520 --> 1:28:29.160 they cover things, and all the rest of it. And 1:28:30.200 --> 1:28:33.759 you know, she she starts, she's when she's leaving her message. 1:28:33.760 --> 1:28:35.639 This is on a voice mamber. This is a voicemail 1:28:35.800 --> 1:28:39.639 from this reporter to John James's campaign, trying to set 1:28:39.720 --> 1:28:42.760 up an interview with him. And she goes from like 1:28:42.920 --> 1:28:46.839 neutral reporter, lady voice to just what she really thinks, 1:28:47.560 --> 1:28:49.800 and you know, you the mask drops, you get to 1:28:49.800 --> 1:28:52.920 see who we're really dealing with here. Uh and this 1:28:53.040 --> 1:28:56.439 voice mail, I think it's pretty hilarious. Please play clip three. Hi. 1:28:56.560 --> 1:28:59.280 My name is Blended Battle. I'm a reporter with the 1:28:59.360 --> 1:29:03.320 hear On Day A Tribune in Bad Acts, Michigan. Looking 1:29:03.720 --> 1:29:07.840 to set up an appointment with Mr James for some 1:29:08.000 --> 1:29:12.320 time on Wednesday for a phone interview regarding the election results. 1:29:13.080 --> 1:29:16.439 I'm probably gonna send an email over UM to the 1:29:16.479 --> 1:29:21.759 info at John James for Senate dot com with some details. UM. 1:29:21.800 --> 1:29:24.280 If you'd like to call me, Zack, my my number 1:29:24.400 --> 1:29:29.800 is nine eight nine, Thank you. Man. If he beats her, 1:29:31.280 --> 1:29:40.120 Jesus John jeene W, that would suck. I don't think 1:29:40.160 --> 1:29:47.320 it's gonna happen, though. Man. If he beats your, I 1:29:47.360 --> 1:29:50.200 don't think it's gonna be happy. And I like Brandy Battle. 1:29:50.560 --> 1:29:53.479 I like she's so she's so Michigander, with the little 1:29:53.560 --> 1:29:56.720 with the Midwestern accident, you know, the whole thing. And 1:29:56.840 --> 1:30:03.600 if he beats your, I don't think it's gonna happen. Oh, Man, Brandon, 1:30:03.640 --> 1:30:05.920 what do you think? Man? I thought I thought it 1:30:06.000 --> 1:30:09.560 was great. You know, she goes from Sweet Sweet, Michigander 1:30:10.120 --> 1:30:12.360 local news lady. He's like, oh, I just want to 1:30:12.360 --> 1:30:15.120 say up being interview with Gen James. To all of 1:30:15.160 --> 1:30:19.400 a sudden she switches into like, yeah, beep beep, you 1:30:19.439 --> 1:30:21.080 know he said all this mean stuff about him. You 1:30:21.160 --> 1:30:23.920 gotta be careful if those open mics are open phones, 1:30:23.960 --> 1:30:28.080 and just wait a moment, make sure you're hung up. Yeah, 1:30:28.120 --> 1:30:32.280 I mean, it's it's pretty funny. Um. I will say this. 1:30:33.040 --> 1:30:35.639 I heard today that I heard today that she was fired, 1:30:35.920 --> 1:30:38.160 and I think that that's harsh. I don't think she 1:30:38.200 --> 1:30:40.439 should get It was an accident. I don't think that 1:30:40.479 --> 1:30:42.280 she should get fired. She didn't say Look, she didn't 1:30:42.280 --> 1:30:44.960 say anything like racist or terrible. She doesn't want the 1:30:44.960 --> 1:30:47.479 guy to win. I actually don't have a problem with 1:30:47.520 --> 1:30:51.519 that in the sense that I know that journalists are 1:30:52.240 --> 1:30:55.479 very opinionated and politically engaged. In fact, most journalists are 1:30:55.520 --> 1:30:59.200 really activists. They're not They shouldn't be described as journalists. 1:30:59.240 --> 1:31:02.800 If you're gonna say that that's a neutral a neutral term, 1:31:02.880 --> 1:31:06.800 might I mean most journalists are very ideologically motivated. That's 1:31:06.800 --> 1:31:08.680 why they do what they do. So I have no 1:31:08.800 --> 1:31:11.479 problem with that. I think she should just come out 1:31:11.479 --> 1:31:12.479 and say, well, you know what, I want to be 1:31:12.479 --> 1:31:14.240 an opinion journalist now. I want to be honest about 1:31:14.240 --> 1:31:15.720 where I happen. You know, people would say, oh, well, 1:31:15.760 --> 1:31:18.000 she can't do that, and that's her great and look, 1:31:18.000 --> 1:31:19.280 I know it's a bad look for the here on 1:31:19.400 --> 1:31:22.759 Daily Tribune, although honestly, this is the most national press 1:31:22.800 --> 1:31:26.120 that you're on Daily Tribute it has gotten ever probably, 1:31:26.840 --> 1:31:30.800 so it's you know, I think it's harsh to fire though, yeah, 1:31:30.840 --> 1:31:32.600 maybe you know, you suspend her a few days. I 1:31:32.880 --> 1:31:34.320 I don't know if she was fired. I was told 1:31:34.360 --> 1:31:36.560 that today by a friend who's a reporter, So I 1:31:36.960 --> 1:31:39.280 don't I don't agree with that because what she said, 1:31:40.160 --> 1:31:42.160 you know, she thought she was off Mike. She didn't 1:31:42.160 --> 1:31:44.160 say any terrible so she doesn't like she doesn't like 1:31:44.200 --> 1:31:45.720 this candidate. Guess what. I don't like a lot of 1:31:45.760 --> 1:31:49.840 Democrat candidates that are running, including some that I've interviewed. Yeah, 1:31:49.880 --> 1:31:52.519 I shouldn't on an open mic say you know, bleep 1:31:52.560 --> 1:31:55.120 and you bleep bleep. I hate that candidate, But it 1:31:55.120 --> 1:31:56.640 doesn't make me a bad It wouldn't make me a 1:31:56.640 --> 1:31:58.240 bad guy if I did so. I have kind of 1:31:58.240 --> 1:32:01.640 a different take on this than other people. But this 1:32:01.760 --> 1:32:03.920 then brings us back to a theme this hour on 1:32:03.960 --> 1:32:07.280 the show, which is they just need to be honest 1:32:07.320 --> 1:32:10.240 about this. The person who was saying, yeah, I just 1:32:10.280 --> 1:32:13.240 want to have any if you branded battle you know, 1:32:13.880 --> 1:32:17.000 well anythink that's gonna happen? Uh, you know, I don't 1:32:17.040 --> 1:32:21.400 think that she is in a position to be objective. 1:32:21.520 --> 1:32:23.679 She should just say that I'm you know, Brenda Battle, 1:32:24.200 --> 1:32:28.640 Democrat journalist, and you know I'm covering things from that perspective. 1:32:29.960 --> 1:32:32.439 Why is that so anathemated people? She still has to 1:32:32.520 --> 1:32:35.439 use facts, She still has to, you know, report things 1:32:35.760 --> 1:32:39.240 accurately and truthfully, or else she'll have no credibility. So 1:32:39.320 --> 1:32:41.840 I believe in a total revamp of this. I think 1:32:41.840 --> 1:32:44.240 that the only the truth is I believe the only 1:32:44.320 --> 1:32:46.720 journalism is opinion journalism. We just need to come to 1:32:46.720 --> 1:32:51.040 grips with that. That is reality. That doesn't necessarily mean 1:32:51.080 --> 1:32:53.680 advocacy journalism, that's even a little step beyond, but at 1:32:53.720 --> 1:32:57.160 least opinion journalism. Yes, who are you, what party are 1:32:57.160 --> 1:33:00.559 you affiliated with? Ideologically? Where are you honest? D on that, 1:33:00.920 --> 1:33:03.559 which is really just transparency when we're talking about the media. 1:33:03.960 --> 1:33:07.960 I think that would go a very very long way, 1:33:08.200 --> 1:33:10.559 and I'm an advocate of it. But anyway, yeah, bend 1:33:10.560 --> 1:33:12.759 your bad you always you know, what could he happen? 1:33:13.160 --> 1:33:18.320 What could happen if she gets fired? Unfortunately, such an 1:33:18.360 --> 1:33:23.720 important thing, a vote is blood to his life. Just 1:33:23.920 --> 1:33:32.760 want so better for em and um feels good to 1:33:32.800 --> 1:33:36.200 be able to be able to say something and hope 1:33:37.000 --> 1:33:41.040 that's inside. Go out and vote now. I'm not going 1:33:41.120 --> 1:33:45.960 to make fun of somebody for getting emotional in that 1:33:46.040 --> 1:33:48.920 way about casting a vote. I mean, you know, it 1:33:49.080 --> 1:33:53.360 is a a beautiful thing that we have representative government 1:33:53.400 --> 1:33:56.680 in this country. And one of the great advances in 1:33:57.479 --> 1:34:04.920 human political organization is in act the processes involving democratic elections. 1:34:05.000 --> 1:34:07.160 And of course we are in a republic. You don't 1:34:07.160 --> 1:34:09.960 have to send me those emails correcting me. You know 1:34:10.000 --> 1:34:12.800 what I'm saying. We have a democratic process in our 1:34:12.960 --> 1:34:18.000 republican form of government and or in our republic rather 1:34:18.720 --> 1:34:23.000 and you know, it's it's just that's Jennifer Esposito for 1:34:23.040 --> 1:34:25.120 those of you who might be wondering, and she is 1:34:25.360 --> 1:34:30.680 a semi famous actress. If you've seen the if you've 1:34:30.720 --> 1:34:36.599 seen the movie Gosh What Crash, which actually won Best Picture, 1:34:36.720 --> 1:34:40.680 much to my surprise. About fifteen years ago she was 1:34:40.720 --> 1:34:43.799 in that and it was very attractive. I know about 1:34:43.840 --> 1:34:48.320 her more because no, not just because she's very attractive actress, although, 1:34:49.080 --> 1:34:52.600 but because she's Celiac. She has Celiac disease like me. 1:34:52.680 --> 1:34:56.040 And she actually runs a and owns a bakery in 1:34:56.320 --> 1:35:00.320 Manhattan that has all all gluten free goods. But anyway, 1:35:00.360 --> 1:35:02.920 she was crying there because she just cast her vote 1:35:03.000 --> 1:35:06.320 and she's so hopeful for a change. And you know, 1:35:06.360 --> 1:35:08.400 this is where I have to step into kind of 1:35:08.439 --> 1:35:12.600 just normal buck the dude mode here and not not 1:35:12.720 --> 1:35:16.160 even really doing political analysis. Liberals really just need to 1:35:16.160 --> 1:35:21.439 calm down. It's it's gonna be okay. I think that 1:35:21.520 --> 1:35:24.800 people look and people can get very excited about their vote, 1:35:24.840 --> 1:35:27.040 and they can get very excited about different policies. And 1:35:27.600 --> 1:35:32.840 but when you're crying tears of essentially sadness and terror 1:35:32.880 --> 1:35:36.880 as you go into the voting booth, that's not good. 1:35:37.200 --> 1:35:42.080 Because everything really is okay. And this is a conversation 1:35:42.120 --> 1:35:44.639 that I have to have with my many liberal friends. 1:35:44.680 --> 1:35:46.400 I mean, I have I know a lot of Libs. 1:35:46.960 --> 1:35:53.519 Fortunately my immediate circle are stalwart conservatives, but I have 1:35:53.600 --> 1:35:55.439 a lot of Libs in my life, and I and 1:35:55.560 --> 1:35:58.040 many of them am very very fond of and I 1:35:58.080 --> 1:36:00.920 try to tell them or I try to lane to them. 1:36:00.960 --> 1:36:04.240 You know what you're getting from these different media sources. 1:36:04.600 --> 1:36:07.360 Look around you in your day to day life. Do 1:36:07.400 --> 1:36:11.440 you have friends and family members who are being drafted 1:36:11.479 --> 1:36:14.600 to go fight in a uh, you know, a horrific 1:36:15.560 --> 1:36:19.080 meat grinder of a foreign war. No. Do we have 1:36:19.479 --> 1:36:23.519 a pandemic of disease like Spanish influenza. No. Do we 1:36:23.560 --> 1:36:26.760 have a massive recession with millions tens of millions of 1:36:26.800 --> 1:36:30.240 people losing their homes, or the unemployment line stretching in 1:36:30.320 --> 1:36:33.519 the block. No, those are all real things that happen 1:36:33.600 --> 1:36:37.000 in history. By the way, two people in living memory, 1:36:37.640 --> 1:36:40.720 None of that is happening right now. Things in this 1:36:40.800 --> 1:36:45.160 country are really good. And I would offer that we 1:36:45.200 --> 1:36:48.400 are in a more positive place in our day to 1:36:48.439 --> 1:36:51.400 day lives as Americans now with Trump as president than 1:36:51.400 --> 1:36:56.559 we were in the Obama era. That said, there's nothing 1:36:56.560 --> 1:36:59.720 that is going on right now that should make liberals 1:37:00.680 --> 1:37:03.280 freak out so much. You know that there's And I 1:37:03.520 --> 1:37:05.599 asked them too, and they always point to rhetoric. Oh, 1:37:05.680 --> 1:37:07.880 Trump's rhetoric and what he said here and what he 1:37:07.960 --> 1:37:10.439 said there, and my response to that tends to be 1:37:11.520 --> 1:37:13.559 what does that really do for you? Work to you? 1:37:13.640 --> 1:37:16.640 The answer is nothing. You know, Trump's tweets should not 1:37:16.720 --> 1:37:21.280 be haunting these people's dreams. I really worry that there's 1:37:21.400 --> 1:37:25.160 a a mass hysteria on the left, and when people 1:37:25.760 --> 1:37:30.120 become hysterical in this way, their judgment is clouded and 1:37:30.640 --> 1:37:33.919 it's really hard to find common ground and to trust 1:37:34.600 --> 1:37:38.320 their thought processes on on important issues. So, you know, 1:37:38.400 --> 1:37:41.360 Jennifer Esposito there her a little clip went viral, This 1:37:41.520 --> 1:37:46.040 actress who's crying because she voted. I just want to say, Okay, 1:37:46.080 --> 1:37:48.120 if you want to cry happy tears because we live 1:37:48.120 --> 1:37:51.400 in such a beautiful, amazing country, that's great. I'm all 1:37:51.479 --> 1:37:54.040 for it. But if you're crying because you think this 1:37:54.120 --> 1:37:56.800 is your last chance to stop America from falling into 1:37:56.840 --> 1:38:01.160 Trump's fascism and he's basically hitler, I really mean this 1:38:01.240 --> 1:38:05.360 from the bottom of my heart. Get a grip, Libs, 1:38:06.360 --> 1:38:19.120 get a grip liberty, truth and great hair. Feel those 1:38:19.120 --> 1:38:31.800 funky beats. It's time for roll call. Election day. Roll 1:38:31.880 --> 1:38:35.760 call is the best roll call, well, really, every day 1:38:35.800 --> 1:38:37.680 is the best roll call. Team always good to hear 1:38:37.720 --> 1:38:41.240 from your Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. That is 1:38:41.240 --> 1:38:46.040 how you get this party started. Let's get right to it, Alan, 1:38:47.040 --> 1:38:50.679 But I have to say that having Hannity and Piro 1:38:51.000 --> 1:38:55.320 on stage with Trump is really bad optics for Fox News. 1:38:55.360 --> 1:38:59.360 Hard to criticize CNN when you have Fox personalities stumping 1:38:59.560 --> 1:39:02.680 for Trump. Well, Alan, I appreciate you're trying to be 1:39:03.400 --> 1:39:07.479 fair minded, but the truth is, I think that your 1:39:07.520 --> 1:39:13.879 distinction is is lacking some some context here. Uh, Hannity 1:39:14.040 --> 1:39:20.719 and Piro are both open conservative opinion journalists or or pundits. 1:39:21.600 --> 1:39:27.200 CNN pretends that their anchors, their prime time anchors in particular, 1:39:27.640 --> 1:39:35.200 are objective, neutral, nonpartisan journalist Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper, Don Lemon, 1:39:35.320 --> 1:39:40.400 Aaron Burnett, and Chris Cuomo. That's laughable. They're all Democrats. 1:39:40.520 --> 1:39:44.680 They're all operating as an appendage, a media appendage of 1:39:44.720 --> 1:39:47.880 the d n C. Always. That doesn't mean they can't 1:39:47.920 --> 1:39:51.559 ask normal questions. But I also am a partisan, but 1:39:51.880 --> 1:39:55.320 I can ask normal questions, right, So I have issues 1:39:55.360 --> 1:39:59.160 with the GOP, I criticize Republicans, I disagree with them 1:39:59.200 --> 1:40:03.000 on different matters of policy, doesn't mean I'm not a partisan. 1:40:03.000 --> 1:40:06.640 It doesn't mean that I don't approach this without an ideology. 1:40:06.920 --> 1:40:11.960 CNN is fundamentally dishonest about what it does and where 1:40:11.960 --> 1:40:16.879 it's people come down on these issues. Fox News is not. Now. Look, everyone, 1:40:17.000 --> 1:40:19.520 even if you're trying to be the most neutral, impartial 1:40:19.600 --> 1:40:23.320 journalists ever, you're gonna have some crossover. You're gonna have 1:40:23.439 --> 1:40:26.719 some sense that you know, your your opinions are gonna 1:40:26.720 --> 1:40:28.960 come through a little bit of your work. But it's 1:40:28.960 --> 1:40:31.680 not a little bit at CNN. It's a lot. Uh, 1:40:31.760 --> 1:40:33.640 And I just think that people should be honest about it. 1:40:33.720 --> 1:40:37.000 You can say, hey, I'm a Democrat journalist, but I 1:40:37.080 --> 1:40:41.040 really have a reputation for being fair minded, for presenting 1:40:41.080 --> 1:40:44.040 the facts and the truth and not trying to skew 1:40:44.479 --> 1:40:47.559 news narratives to serve a partisan agenda. So you know, 1:40:47.560 --> 1:40:49.679 there's a lot of nuance here. Just understand this way though, 1:40:50.000 --> 1:40:51.840 the idea and I actually got into a little Twitter 1:40:51.880 --> 1:40:55.519 dispute with some Daily Beast reporter today about this, The 1:40:55.560 --> 1:40:59.599 idea that a journalist is a neutral, nonpartisan profession. This 1:40:59.680 --> 1:41:04.800 is really a mid to late twentieth century American invention. 1:41:05.439 --> 1:41:07.960 This is new, This is not This doesn't exist in 1:41:08.000 --> 1:41:10.679 the rest of the world. It doesn't exist in the UK, 1:41:10.960 --> 1:41:15.160 for example, where we derive a lot of our journalistic 1:41:15.320 --> 1:41:17.920 practices and the notion of the free press and all 1:41:18.360 --> 1:41:20.559 of these ideas. Would it come to us, not just 1:41:20.560 --> 1:41:24.479 from Europe and more specifically from Great Britain and there. 1:41:24.520 --> 1:41:26.920 If there's a Tory paper, there's a liberal paper. You know, 1:41:27.200 --> 1:41:31.120 left right people understand this. It's just much more transparent, 1:41:31.200 --> 1:41:34.360 it's much more honest. You know, I'm a conservative, and 1:41:34.400 --> 1:41:37.479 I'm pretty I'm pretty hardcore. I mean, there are very 1:41:37.479 --> 1:41:41.679 few areas where I think you'd find me deviating from 1:41:41.760 --> 1:41:44.920 conservative ideology. I mean there are a few. I like 1:41:45.000 --> 1:41:47.680 smoking bands and restaurants for example. You know, there are 1:41:47.720 --> 1:41:50.040 some things where I admit that my little, my little 1:41:50.080 --> 1:41:54.640 inner status comes out. Um and you know, I sometimes 1:41:54.680 --> 1:41:56.920 some of the nanny state stuff, I'd start to think, 1:41:57.040 --> 1:41:58.960 is I know you're booing me right now. You can 1:41:59.000 --> 1:42:01.200 boo me, That's okay. But you know, I may be 1:42:01.320 --> 1:42:04.800 thinking that soda being less than sixty four ounces is 1:42:05.000 --> 1:42:07.599 not the word. It's not the government's business. I know 1:42:07.720 --> 1:42:09.640 that I understand what but I'm just saying I have 1:42:09.720 --> 1:42:15.200 a ideologically. Sometimes I see it happens you find areas 1:42:15.200 --> 1:42:18.519 where you really like something and you are reminded. And 1:42:18.560 --> 1:42:20.600 now these are small areas obviously, but your reminded of 1:42:20.680 --> 1:42:23.800 Oh even I like to be sometimes a little bit 1:42:23.800 --> 1:42:28.120 of a big government totalitarian. But anyway, the CNN Fox 1:42:28.160 --> 1:42:32.439 distinction is Fox News. Anybody is willing to say, who's 1:42:32.479 --> 1:42:36.280 being honest that it excuse to the right, and it 1:42:36.439 --> 1:42:39.960 is a conservative leaning network. That doesn't mean all of 1:42:39.960 --> 1:42:42.800 its journals. I mean Shepherd Smith is not a conservative 1:42:42.800 --> 1:42:44.880 at all. I mean Shepherd Smith. You could take his 1:42:44.920 --> 1:42:47.439 show and put it on CNN and it wouldn't even 1:42:47.479 --> 1:42:49.840 be out of place. Right, Keep in mind, there's no 1:42:49.920 --> 1:42:53.200 equivalent at CNN. There is no show that is in 1:42:53.240 --> 1:42:55.920 their daily lineup at CNN that you could put on 1:42:56.040 --> 1:42:58.960 air at Fox News and you wouldn't say, Wow, this 1:42:59.040 --> 1:43:03.000 is like the pro Lary, pro Obama network. Uh. So 1:43:03.280 --> 1:43:05.479 you know, when you line these things up, it's more apparent. 1:43:06.080 --> 1:43:10.040 MSNBC is really the equivalent for Fox. MSNBC is a 1:43:10.080 --> 1:43:12.720 place that I think everyone at least is willing to 1:43:12.760 --> 1:43:16.800 admit is left leaning, is pro Democrat. You know, he's 1:43:16.880 --> 1:43:19.919 not calling balls and strikes and all this other nonsense 1:43:19.960 --> 1:43:22.439 that they say. As you see Alan, this gets me 1:43:22.479 --> 1:43:24.320 fired up. That's why I've spent quite a bit of 1:43:24.360 --> 1:43:27.439 time talking about your one message here. But I appreciate 1:43:27.880 --> 1:43:31.200 that said Fox News did censure Sewn or you know, 1:43:31.600 --> 1:43:34.440 not censoring, but you know it's Fox News did say 1:43:34.439 --> 1:43:36.720 that they don't like when their anchors do that. But 1:43:37.080 --> 1:43:39.679 he's not pretending to be neutral. And also, you guys 1:43:39.680 --> 1:43:43.320 know my rule applies here. I mean, I I oh 1:43:43.400 --> 1:43:46.160 a a debt of gratitude to Shaun for letting me 1:43:46.600 --> 1:43:48.479 in the early days of my career filling on his 1:43:48.560 --> 1:43:51.000 radio show, and also just for him being a great 1:43:51.040 --> 1:43:55.479 guy who's really honest and supportive and cool. So you know, 1:43:55.520 --> 1:43:57.800 he's not somebody that you're gonna hear me criticizing. Uh. 1:43:58.000 --> 1:44:01.439 And you know Fox News, they they can say whatever 1:44:01.439 --> 1:44:04.679 they want about their anchors activities. I think what Sean 1:44:04.840 --> 1:44:08.320 does is totally transparent, and I have no no issue 1:44:08.360 --> 1:44:10.479 with any even at all. The same thing with Judge nine, 1:44:10.800 --> 1:44:12.960 whom I always have a certain fondness for it too. 1:44:13.040 --> 1:44:16.360 I just think she's so feisty. I like Judge. She 1:44:16.439 --> 1:44:19.280 really lays it, she really lays it down. Sadly, you 1:44:21.920 --> 1:44:24.680 here end up murdering the children of Americans. You know 1:44:24.760 --> 1:44:32.840 what's united sary? See what I mean, feisty. Remember that 1:44:32.840 --> 1:44:35.759 that was on the view That was good time. Adam 1:44:35.880 --> 1:44:38.600 rights if Republican sweep is the M s M is 1:44:38.640 --> 1:44:42.640 smart enough to stop bashing Trump. No, no, Adam, you 1:44:42.640 --> 1:44:45.439 have to remember the M s M is not trying 1:44:45.439 --> 1:44:48.479 to be The mainstream media does not aspire to be 1:44:48.560 --> 1:44:52.320 even handed and fair. They just say that to pander 1:44:52.360 --> 1:44:55.880 to their audience of left wing viewers who like to 1:44:55.920 --> 1:44:59.920 think that their worldview is in fact the objective worldview. 1:45:00.080 --> 1:45:03.000 But that is not true. That is not the case, 1:45:03.560 --> 1:45:06.720 so they will not stop ashing Trump. In fact, it's 1:45:06.720 --> 1:45:09.720 been good for CNNs ratings to cover all Trump all 1:45:09.720 --> 1:45:13.280 the time. They've been very open about that. I guess 1:45:13.320 --> 1:45:15.280 because they can't hide it, and because they've got to 1:45:15.280 --> 1:45:17.479 tell advertisers. They want to tell advertisers they can make 1:45:17.520 --> 1:45:22.120 more money. Nicole writes, Hey, Buck, yesterday you played a 1:45:22.120 --> 1:45:24.479 clip where Pelosi talked about knowing how to take a punch. 1:45:25.560 --> 1:45:27.640 Trigger warning. The dude with the valley girl accent you 1:45:27.680 --> 1:45:29.400 can hear in the recordings does not sound like he 1:45:29.400 --> 1:45:32.000 could take a punch, and the effort involved with taking 1:45:32.000 --> 1:45:34.519 a swing at somebody would probably exhaust him. Dude is 1:45:34.560 --> 1:45:36.800 never want to fight in his life, Nicole. I can't 1:45:36.840 --> 1:45:40.160 say I know who the other speaker was in that clip, 1:45:40.240 --> 1:45:43.960 but thank you for writing in. James writes Buck love 1:45:44.000 --> 1:45:45.960 your show, Love what you do for American patriots. But 1:45:46.000 --> 1:45:49.240 I have one complaint. Pointing out the lies, deceits, and 1:45:49.280 --> 1:45:52.479 wrongs the Democrats is great, but how about some ideas 1:45:52.520 --> 1:45:56.599 to counter their deceptions and wrongdoing. Well, you know, James, 1:45:56.640 --> 1:46:01.240 I I try to do that. UM. I certainly espoused 1:46:01.240 --> 1:46:03.479 the policies that I believe in and and many of 1:46:03.520 --> 1:46:08.439 them are in line with what the Trump administration. UM, 1:46:08.720 --> 1:46:13.639 Trump administration is pushing. So I'll continue to try to 1:46:13.720 --> 1:46:16.559 propose solutions. I know people want solutions, they want they 1:46:16.560 --> 1:46:19.840 want good ideas too, and not just oh there's this 1:46:19.880 --> 1:46:23.719 other you know, constant bashing of the left that goes 1:46:23.800 --> 1:46:27.760 on Brandon rights oss here. Thank you for doing the 1:46:27.760 --> 1:46:29.920 great show you do, brother, It's a wonderful job.
