0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Mr garbutsch Off teared down this wall. Either beer with

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>us or you were with the terrorists. If you've got

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.119
<v Speaker 1>healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>are satisfied with Trunk is not president of the United States,

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>take it to a bank together. We will make America

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>great again. We'll never sharender. It's what you've been waiting

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>for all day. The buck Sexton Show joined the conversation

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>called buck toll free at eight four four nine hundred Buck.

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>That's eight four four nine hundred to eight to five

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the future of talk radio buck Sexton sixty six points

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>lost on Friday, almost that Today we busted below that

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>fifty day moving average. We're breaking all kinds of different

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>technical levels. Quite a drop happening on Wall Street. A

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 1>massive sell off is happening today. Moments ago we were

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>down more than nine hundred points. What's going on with

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the mechanics of this machines gone wild? The S and

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>P five hundred lower by three point seven percent. This

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty much is about religion from central banks gone awry.

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.559
<v Speaker 1>They built it up opportunities to come when the market breaks,

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and the market just broke again. We haven't seen it

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.199
<v Speaker 1>breaking a long time. Look, we overshot to the upside

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>as everybody was talking about, and this is clearly at

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>least on a short term basis, and overshooting down. Welcome

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to the bucks extit show. Everybody time to panic the market?

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>What are we gonna do? I just wanted to play

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 1>that for you, because all of a sudden we had

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a respite from Russia collusion memo Gates. We we had

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>a resipite. We had a little bit of a pause,

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>did we. I mean it was a shame that our

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>four oh one k's we're getting slacks and those of

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you who actually are four enough to be among the

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I think what the percentage of Americans who owned stock

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>other than their four one k is? Like, I might

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>be way off on that one, Mike. Let me know

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>if I'm way off on that. I think Americans actually

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>invest the stock market, but it has effects in the

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>broader economy. And let me say this, We're about to

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>move from the whole market discussion. By the way, I

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>do not pretend to be a markets guy on radio.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry. I just the Dow was down eleven seventy

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>five today, which is the single biggest one day drop

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>in history. So everyone's like, Now, if this were to continue,

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>if the sell off were a sign of a recession,

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>or fears of inflation were to overtake the economy in

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>bigger ways, just understand, it's it's the narrative about Russia

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Trump collusion. And this is why I want to play

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>this for you right away. I think this is not

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna last that long. Yeah, there's markets go up, markets

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>go down, right. I don't think this is necessarily the

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>beginning of anything really bad. But just know that I'm

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>saying this to you my with my active powers such

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>as they are. If we enter a rocky period here,

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>of all of a sudden, a couple of months of

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>bad jobs numbers, inflation starts creeping up beyond I think

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>inflation they usually wanted about two. That's what the FED, which,

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>as you all know, is like not really the government,

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>but in some ways more powerful than the government. Uh,

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the FED wants a two percent inflation rate because that's

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>what growth, That's what they think is good for growth.

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's what they want the money supply to be.

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>But if it gets worse than that, or if it

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>starts to get like problematic for whatever reason, they're gonna

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>blame it on Trump. That's the bottom. That's what I'm

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to say. And all of a sudden, all the

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Russia stuff is gonna be backburner because that's what they

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 1>have to go with. When they've got Trump getting it done, deregulating,

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>economy going well, jobs, everything out, everything is cooking and

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>rolling along. That's when you gotta here, Russia, Russia, Russia.

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>But if things get a little rocky, and I don't

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>even think and in the ast case scenario, I think

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump would be I think the policies the administration will

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>be significantly helpful to whatever is going on. But you're

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>just gonna see. I just want to prepare for that.

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.719
<v Speaker 1>There'll be a whole Oh Trump, he doesn't have this

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>financial acumen. He's not the dealmaker. They'll the storyline will change,

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 1>which is just my way of illustrating for all of you.

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.279
<v Speaker 1>This is all a construct. Remember one of my one

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>of my Buck Sexton Show first principles. The news cycle

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>is a construct. It is made for you. It is curated,

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>it is pulled together. It is propagandized by an enormous

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>multibillion dollar apparatus of people who are paid money to

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>feed an audience in many cases whatever it wants to hear,

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 1>but also in general just information and is competing with

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 1>other outlets to that end. Right, that's that's what news is.

0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>News is not really anything more sophisticated than that. There's

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of room for shenanigans, just in that pretty

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>simple and straightforward mission statement. They had a big drop

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>in the dow today. All right, fine, I think everything's

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna be okay, but just note that they're gonna blame

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>You'll see some stories blaming Trump tomorrow. If you look

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>around some of the left wing sides, they'll go for

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>it right away. A week ago they were saying Trump

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>isn't responsible for the booming economy. Some will get a

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>little ahead of their skis on this and go, oh

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>trumps Trump is bad because of the economy, had a

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of bad days. Look what the marketing. You know,

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the same people who were telling you, like a month ago,

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>don't give Trump credit for the economy because of deregulation

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:40.919
<v Speaker 1>and tax cuts are now going to be saying, oh,

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump's response. So they have no credibility, no integrity. I

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>just wanted you to hear it from me first here. Okay, now,

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>let's get into what we do now. I gotta crack

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the knuckles and get ready to talk about national security

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>stuff and all the things going on with the memo,

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>because there's a not here right there. The fallout from

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>the memo has been its own series of debates and discussions.

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>As I told you, the memo did not end any story.

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>It is, in fact just an important phase, an important

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>part of the much larger story here about what happened

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 1>with the Trump administration, and the stakes are no longer

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>and have not been for a while, just about whether

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>or not Donald Trump colluded. It is now very much

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>simultaneously a story about whether or not the FBI, the

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>d o J, the Hillary campaign, and the media colluded

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>against Trump. And when you look on balance right now,

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>there's a whole lot more information to suggest that the

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>second thing is true than the first. In fact, there's

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>really nothing on the first one. There's a whole lot

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of stuff on the second one, which is what we're

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 1>going to spend some time on today. But you had

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>former senior CIA official Phil Mud whom I've I've I've

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 1>met Phil before. Um, this is not a personal thing,

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>this is a this is a my thoughts on his

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>analysis thing. And I think his analysis at least on

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>this issue is poor, beyond poor, beyond belief. Almost. It's

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>as though he's saying what he thinks he needs to

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>say to get paid a certain amount by CNN. That

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>is how I feel about it. I'm and I'm going

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>to talk more about this other FBI guy. I would note,

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 1>who's Mr. Oh, I have to resign on principle, and

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>then he goes and gets a job at CNN right away?

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh what a shock? Oh who could know such a thing? Right?

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>But we have to talk first about this point made

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>by Mud because he is probably well, they have Clapper

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>over there too. You'll notice all these former nonpartisan so

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>they say, senior intelligence you know, directors and agency heads,

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>they run over to these left wing works and become

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>attack dogs. Mm hmm. If we were to work back

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 1>from this, don't we think it's also very likely that

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the Clappers, the Brennan's, the MUD's, Perhaps that we see

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>now we're the same individuals with the same political and

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>partisan proclivities before. Doesn't that also make us think that

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>perhaps after eight years of Obama and Hillary Secretary of

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>State and everything, and the expectations of Hillary to become president,

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 1>that some of these very powerful folks who were no

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>longer in government, who are rabid partisans now that they're

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>outside of government, and I just named them, right, Clapper, Brennan,

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. Don't we think it stands to reason that

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe they were just the same way but not public

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 1>about it when they were inside of government. Look at

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>us putting two and two together here in the Freedom Hut,

0:08:55.240 --> 0:09:02.679
<v Speaker 1>because that's how we roll. But a very important issue

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 1>was raised by Mr Mud And as I said, it's

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>not personal. I have nothing personally against Phil Mud. I'm

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>sure he's a really nice, smart guy, but I don't

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 1>like what he's been saying on CNN recently. So here

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>is the statement President is talking about basically corruption at

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 1>the FBI today. But we opposed the leadership. The workforce

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 1>is going to look at this and say this is

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>an attack on our ability to conduct an investigation with integrity.

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>There's hundreds of agents and analyis working on this investigation.

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not just Christopher Ray, the FBI director. So the

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>FBI people, i'm gonna tell you, are ticked and they're

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna be saying I guarantee it. You think you can

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 1>push us off this because you can try to intimidate

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the director. You better think again, Mr President, You've been

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>around for thirteen months. We've been around since nineteen o eight.

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I know how this game is gonna be played. We're

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna win. So what he's a senior, a former senior bureaucrat,

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and what he's and I say that as a as

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>a junior nobody, former bureaucrat. But what he's saying is,

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>from what I can hear and see, is he's outlining

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the very deep state problem we're talking about. It is

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>unacceptable for people inside the FBI or any any federal

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>bureaucracy with specific and delineated powers and authority. It is

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:22.640
<v Speaker 1>unacceptable for them to play gotcha based on politics. And

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>this is something that I think a lot of people

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>have lost sight of recently. It is unacceptable for anyone

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 1>in the intelligence community to say, I don't like what

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Trump said about us, so I'm gonna get him. Maybe

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna leak some stuff to the media that harms

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the administration, which is also a crime, by the way,

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>but it is unethical to do that. You do your job.

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>You're supposed to be civil servants serving the public and

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the public interest. This is not about egos at the FBI,

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>at the CIA, at any place in the intelligence community.

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.079
<v Speaker 1>And I think we've started to see the mask drop

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>here a little bit because people that, whether they want

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 1>to admit or or not, have some previous experience of

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>this and understand that there are political games that are

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>played inside the federal bureaucracy are coming out and saying, Yeah,

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>that's right, FBI is gonna win this one. Oh, I'm sorry,

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>what what does that mean? They're they're gonna win this one.

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Shouldn't the FBI be doing justice? The FBI is a

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>subsidiary of the Department of Justice, which by the way,

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>works for the executive branch. We seem to have been

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>convinced of something else recently by a media that wants

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>to pretend now that the do J, the FBI, and

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>all these different prosecutors and glorified lawyers they're in are

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>above the government that actually gives them their authority. They

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>are separate there like a super government, unto themselves, executive, legislative, judiciary.

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 1>They are part of the executive They are not a

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>fourth branch of government. They seem to think that they are,

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and This is not new, and I'm singling out the

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>statement from mud on CNN because it's the most recent

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>one that I've seen. But you've got plenty of people saying, oh,

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 1>if you pick a fight with the I C, the

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.559
<v Speaker 1>I C is gonna get you. The i C serves

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>at the pleasure of the president. The i C is

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.080
<v Speaker 1>supposed to provide him with the best information they can.

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.439
<v Speaker 1>The f behind the Department of Justice are supposed to

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:28.079
<v Speaker 1>help the president and the execution of laws. They are

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 1>not there as a as a stop cap on. Oh

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 1>we don't like his policies, hashtag resist. We're all quite

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>aware of the fact that we are a few bad

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 1>days away, perhaps who knows, from a military exchange with

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.560
<v Speaker 1>North Korea, which is a crazy regime that does have nukes.

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 1>We've got very serious problems in the world. The fact

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 1>that you have now bureaucrats who have taken into their

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>hands the authority given to them by it's not clear

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.439
<v Speaker 1>to me who. They've just taken it for them selves.

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 1>They have usurped power that is not theirs to try

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and even the score with the president. You'll notice that

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the president isn't picking any fights with the rank and

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>file the FBI. The President isn't running around saying that

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>he's going to, you know, raise the FBI building to

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the ground, that he's going to h eliminate all rivals

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.080
<v Speaker 1>from within the d o J. He's pushing back against

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.319
<v Speaker 1>the narrative that increasingly looks shaky. And I will say this, people,

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the d o J and FBI lied to you. They

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 1>lied to you about how sensitive the information this memo was.

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Full stop. They didn't misunderstand this isn't a gray area.

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 1>They lied their butts off. And so now there's some

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 1>people that are they're a little sore about the whole situation.

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>And you get people running around saying, oh, because some

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>folks at the FBI are gonna get even you know,

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the FBI agent right now who's doing his work in

0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>in Nebraska or Arizona or Florida, who's trying to help somebody,

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, deal with the cartels in their area, or

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to track down white collar criminals who have stolen

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.560
<v Speaker 1>grandma's life savings or whatever, doesn't really care what people

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>say about Jim Coley. This is all a lie. This

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 1>is again part of my The media conjurors creates this

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>narrative and then force feeds it to you. And I'm

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 1>not just speaking about this is somebody who's in the media.

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I've got lots of friends who are still inside the community,

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>as it's called, real friends, not like hey, you know,

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>like I met you once at a at a mixer

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 1>for like the press and people that work for the

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>d O J or whatever. I got close buddies in there.

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>They're not all running around like, Oh, what are we

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna do? Trump said mean things about us. What does

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 1>it say about our federal prosecutors are federal law enforcement

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and intelligence folks that their feelings about the president are

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 1>supposed to influence their work. I think that's absolutely appalling.

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 1>And I also think that it's a pretty good description

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>of the very deep state phenomenon that others are always mocking. Oh,

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 1>there's no such thing as a deep state. Okay, Well,

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 1>it's an American deep state. It's different than the Turkish

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Darren Devlett, which I can tell you about another time,

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 1>which is an actual superstate within this state that can

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>override democratic elections and has many times throughout the twentieth century.

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that's what we have. Well, we've got

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 1>something that's kind of like an American version of it,

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>don't we That's what it feels like right now. So

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's the American deep state and we need to

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>root it out and deal with it. And as you

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.360
<v Speaker 1>can see, my friends, I am just getting started here,

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>so stay with me. We'll be right back. Um. The

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 1>only thing I fear from this memo because I think

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.440
<v Speaker 1>it's really been a huge dud. I think everybody knows

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 1>what's kind of a dud. Some White House officials fear

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.760
<v Speaker 1>that the new Knats memo is a complete dud, and

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a big dud, a complete dud. This looks like

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a dud. This memo with regards to the Miller

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>probe is a dud. The reviews are in, and Congressman

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Noons is memo was a dud. Not how all these

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.120
<v Speaker 1>different left wing pundits. It's almost like they gotta an

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 1>email that says, this is what you say about the memo.

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you use the word dud a lot. Memo

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>is such a dud. Yet the FBI fought its release

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>four months. Some of these exact same people that I

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 1>just played for you with it's a dud. They were

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>saying that it shouldn't be released because it was so sensitive.

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>That was a complete lies I've told you, and it

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 1>really bothers someone one that we should not forget anytime soon.

0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's a dud. Huh. Maybe you could say

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>it's a dud in so far as it's not a

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of particularly new information, but it is confirmation ah

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 1>what has been reported At any time. Some of us

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>would say, well, hold on a second, looks like the

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.160
<v Speaker 1>dossier was used for fusion GPS. I remember a few

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:14.080
<v Speaker 1>months ago. Oh, that's ridiculous. It's a conspiracy there, conspiracy there. Well,

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>now we know it wasn't a conspiracy there. Now we

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 1>know it is the truth. So it wasn't the most

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:26.160
<v Speaker 1>groundbreaking information to have ever been reported because we had

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.399
<v Speaker 1>heard that this was the case. I, as you know,

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.119
<v Speaker 1>predicted pretty much all of what was in the memo.

0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.680
<v Speaker 1>But now we know it's Now we know it's true.

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 1>So now we can move forward and hopefully when the

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:42.439
<v Speaker 1>idiot squad over at the ms v M, the MSNBC,

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:46.400
<v Speaker 1>MSNBC and CNN, when they try to say things like

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 1>who knows if the dossier, well now we know. Now,

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 1>in fact, we we do know and the notion that

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the memos does is just just goes to show you

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.600
<v Speaker 1>how dishonest many of the people who have involved themselves

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>in this debate, in this discussion really are. I would

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.480
<v Speaker 1>also note that there's a Democrat memo that's supposed to

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.480
<v Speaker 1>come out. Hold on a second, if the Republican memo

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.120
<v Speaker 1>was a quote dud, why would the Democrats even waste

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 1>their time with their own memo. Here's a little prediction.

0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Some of those same people that you heard saying the

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Republican memos a dud are gonna come out and say

0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat memo is a fly kick to the face

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.360
<v Speaker 1>of the Republican narrative the Democrat. The Democrat memo has

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:34.120
<v Speaker 1>body slammed the Republican I mean, you know, they're just

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 1>just idiot, dishonest partisans all over the place. But I've

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>got a breaking news for you actually on that Democrat

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.320
<v Speaker 1>memo literally just broke while we were on air. I

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 1>will tell you what it is after this break, which

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 1>is coming up in one minute. I got a little

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 1>excited there, I see I kept people up. Get people,

0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 1>let's see their pants. I just missed my clock there, folks.

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>For a second. That's all that happened. But see now,

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 1>now that I was going to give you the t

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you exactly what happened. Let me just

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>say this though. The Democrat memo is going to be

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 1>no new factual information. It is just going to be

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a recitation of the talking points that are already being

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:22.280
<v Speaker 1>used by all these different Democrats talking heads. It is

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:29.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be the manifestation of the media's concerted opposition

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 1>to getting to the truth about the Carter Page surveillance

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and the FISA abuse and everything else that's happened here.

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:40.400
<v Speaker 1>What is the status of that memo? Ah, the Democrat

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.919
<v Speaker 1>memo that is to respond to the last week's I

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 1>shall tell you about that one. Here we go this

0:19:45.800 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 1>time after this break, he's holding the line for America.

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton is back. They have damaged the relationship between

0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:08.200
<v Speaker 1>our committee and the intelligence community. Uh. In the future,

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the intelligence community is going to be very worry about

0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 1>sharing information with us because they won't trust us to

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>be responsible stewards of it, and sources of information are

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 1>going to dry up. If you have a neighbor next

0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 1>door who's buying a lot of fertilizer, and it seems

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 1>odd because they don't have a yard. Are you gonna

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 1>think twice before calling the FBI and your identity is

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:32.399
<v Speaker 1>going to be revealed? Because you really can't trust that

0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be kept confidential anymore. The process

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.119
<v Speaker 1>presumed that the president nined states, who has a veto

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 1>over this, would be a responsible person who would have

0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the interests of the nation at heart. And of course

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.920
<v Speaker 1>that's not what we have here. That's House Member Adam Schiff,

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:52.639
<v Speaker 1>who is a grotesque liar. So let's just start with that.

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.719
<v Speaker 1>The notion that the intelligence community may now feel weird

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 1>about sharing information with Congress is irrelevant. The intelligence community

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.960
<v Speaker 1>is not some separate part of the government. Congress has

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.919
<v Speaker 1>oversight of what the intelligence community is doing. You know,

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.679
<v Speaker 1>the Left used to know this, now that they have

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>many times in the past conveniently beat up on the

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:21.639
<v Speaker 1>CIA and all kinds of agencies and organizations because it

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 1>was politically convenient for Democrats to do so. Now all

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:26.919
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, it's, oh, what are we gonna do.

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:31.399
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to share information tough. If Congress wants

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:36.159
<v Speaker 1>information from the intelligence community, Congress gets it. This is

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 1>what some in the media don't seem to understand. There

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 1>is no cutout. There is no and then they say, oh, well,

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 1>if it's it's executive branch information, they don't have to

0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:48.879
<v Speaker 1>share it. Okay, Well, either Congress gets it or the

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>president gets it and can release it through the processes

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:59.640
<v Speaker 1>in place. That's it. They're just we're just acting like

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:04.680
<v Speaker 1>they can't understand these pretty straightforward separation of power issues

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:08.480
<v Speaker 1>powers issues because this is part of the narrative. They're

0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:13.080
<v Speaker 1>just hoping to confuse people and running with these storylines

0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that they think sounds good but in reality are just crap.

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:25.960
<v Speaker 1>They cannot withstand a minutes actual scrutiny. Lies. Shift is

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:29.200
<v Speaker 1>a liar not I have called them a used sham

0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:33.680
<v Speaker 1>wile salesman, and I feel like sham wile salesman out

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.040
<v Speaker 1>there are getting a rough getting a raw deal, the

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>used sham wild salesman. Because you know, at least that's

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 1>a product with some you know, I don't. I don't

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>know how good it is. I've never tried one. Is

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>it good? Does it work? I don't know. It's like

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:47.600
<v Speaker 1>soaks up all the stuff, right, you know, better than

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 1>paper towel and way more fun. Um. I should probably

0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 1>get sham will as a sponsor. Now, we should figure

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 1>out if that's a thing we could do that that'd

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 1>be great, And I'd be a sham wile salesman. Hey, hey,

0:22:57.080 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a good product, I'll try it. Hey, But Shif

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.880
<v Speaker 1>isn't the only one out there who's running the propaganda

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.639
<v Speaker 1>campaign for the left, running interference for the left, and

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:09.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really care what the truth of any of this is.

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:13.159
<v Speaker 1>You've got former c I a director, and this kind

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:15.800
<v Speaker 1>of hurts because you know, it's my old home, my

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.199
<v Speaker 1>old home agency. I took a lot of pride in

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:20.239
<v Speaker 1>the agency when I was there, and and I can

0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you all the good news is most of a

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.680
<v Speaker 1>vast majority of the people that work in these places

0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:31.399
<v Speaker 1>do it because they find the mission interesting and want

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:33.959
<v Speaker 1>to serve their country. The usual answer is that they

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 1>just want to serve their country also because they find

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:38.400
<v Speaker 1>this stuff interesting, though, I see, I'll tell you the truth.

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Other people are mission first, yeah, and the mission is important.

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:44.640
<v Speaker 1>They also think this stuff can be kind of cool

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and interesting though, and they want unusual career. I'm talking

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 1>about the intelligence side now, and and there's that right,

0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:53.879
<v Speaker 1>because if you want to if you just want to

0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:56.840
<v Speaker 1>steady federal government paycheck. You know, you go work at

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the Commerce department or something, right, I mean commerce departments

0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 1>not be like, hey, we're gonna put you in this

0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 1>place where if you drink the water, you're gonna get

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 1>super sick, and there are people that are trying to

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:07.959
<v Speaker 1>find you and maybe kill you and cut your head

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.880
<v Speaker 1>off on you know a video that that usually doesn't

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:13.440
<v Speaker 1>happen with Commerce department. That that can happen unfortunately in

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the you know, on the intelligence side of things. So

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you're just looking for a federal paycheck,

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 1>you might go in some other directions. You know, FBI

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 1>guys and gals pardon me, uh, you know they have

0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:27.840
<v Speaker 1>to kick indoors and they got maniacs swinging meat cleavers

0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:29.640
<v Speaker 1>at them, and that's and that happens, and you don't

0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:31.280
<v Speaker 1>even read about the story, right, I mean, that's just

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 1>another day in the FBI sometimes. So those are that

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a separation here and what kind of

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:41.200
<v Speaker 1>federal government service people want to do. But yeah, Brennan's

0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:44.400
<v Speaker 1>out there and he's like he was Obama's chief counter

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:48.959
<v Speaker 1>terrorism advisor. I mean this he's a very obviously political guy,

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and I wish people would stop with this. This is

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 1>why they can't put me on air at places like CNN,

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 1>because I'll just annihilate some of the very dishonest tropes

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 1>they will trot out at at a convenient moment, like,

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.720
<v Speaker 1>for example, if someone's worked for the intelligence community for

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:09.639
<v Speaker 1>like twenty years, they're just a public servant, you know,

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>an honorable public servant. These are the phrases that don't

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:16.680
<v Speaker 1>even really mean anything. Trust me, you don't stop having

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:21.080
<v Speaker 1>opinions and ideas, and you don't give up vanity and

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:23.600
<v Speaker 1>and well ambition, maybe someone in the federal guverment. But

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 1>if you don't give up vanity just because you happen

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:31.040
<v Speaker 1>to work as a civil servant, um, and you may

0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:33.960
<v Speaker 1>very well have ideological motivations for what you are doing

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:37.439
<v Speaker 1>in a partisan sense, right. I mean I joined the

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:39.840
<v Speaker 1>CIA because I wanted to help fight against al Qaeda.

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 1>That was why did I do a good job or not?

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe a discussion for another time. I did

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:46.399
<v Speaker 1>the best I could, But the point is that was

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:48.679
<v Speaker 1>why I joined. Certainly wasn't for the money. It certainly

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't for the glory. Uh. But Brennan is held out

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to Oh he's not. This is a very very partisan guy,

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and he goes out there and says things like the

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 1>following on the sun A Shows, Meet the Press. Well,

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:05.240
<v Speaker 1>there were things in that docier that made me wonder

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:08.400
<v Speaker 1>whether or not they would they were in fact accurate

0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and true. Uh, And I do think it was up

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to the FBI to see whether or not they could

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 1>verify any of it. I think Jim Comey has said

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:18.399
<v Speaker 1>that it was contained selasious and unverified information. Just because

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it was unverified didn't mean it wasn't true. Do you

0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:26.920
<v Speaker 1>remember everyone that or maybe I tweeted this the camera,

0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 1>if I said it on the show, or I tweeted this.

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 1>But if it rings true, it is true. That's really

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the left approach to the entirety of the Trump administration.

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.359
<v Speaker 1>That that was actually a perfect encapsulation of how the

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 1>media treats Trump, how the media deals with Trump. If

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 1>it rings true, it is true. Here you have the

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 1>former CIA director who's getting pretty close to saying the

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 1>same thing. I know it's not exactly the same thing,

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:54.119
<v Speaker 1>but just because it's unverified doesn't mean it wasn't true.

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, let's deal with that for a second. Um,

0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 1>let me start with if we're going to start basing legal,

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>legally binding processes like a Phis Accord and eliminating the

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Fourth Amendment rights of American citizens through surveillance and intelligence

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>gathering processes based upon unverified information. Then my theorizing with

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:21.920
<v Speaker 1>you recently about how they could just open up fires

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:24.359
<v Speaker 1>a warrant on anyone for basically any reason, because all

0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:26.119
<v Speaker 1>the takes is someone to show up and say, you know,

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 1>so and so is talking to you know, so and

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 1>so is talking to the Chinese about some espionage stuff

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>or something you know you better get to and says

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 1>it no verification. They're gonna start, you know, think about

0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the the implications of what this means for law enforcement folks.

0:27:42.320 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And I know we have a lot a lot of

0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement that are listening to this show right now.

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.120
<v Speaker 1>And God bless and thank you for what you do.

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:51.280
<v Speaker 1>But if all of a sudden, law enforcement could just

0:27:51.400 --> 0:27:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, kick I mean, I did say this is

0:27:53.320 --> 0:27:55.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the intelligence version of squatting, right if

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:57.240
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement all of a sudden is showing up and

0:27:57.280 --> 0:28:00.640
<v Speaker 1>just kicking indoors because somebody doesn't like you and they

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:02.960
<v Speaker 1>said that you know, you're running a meth lab in

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 1>your kitchen and they don't do any due diligence or

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:07.440
<v Speaker 1>fact checking, and they come, you know, running in through

0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:10.119
<v Speaker 1>your living room with a bear cat and start you know,

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 1>throwing flash bangs everywhere, and little Foo Foo, the kitty

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:16.960
<v Speaker 1>cat is getting all scared and you're freaked out. That's

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:20.879
<v Speaker 1>not okay, we don't want that. But there has to

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 1>be some verification beyond just what somebody says. A major

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 1>part of that is also who is the person saying it,

0:28:28.520 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 1>what are their motivations. I mean, this is actually all

0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:32.960
<v Speaker 1>intelligence analysis, one at one, by the way, which is

0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:35.400
<v Speaker 1>why I find all these stories so interesting and why

0:28:35.440 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 1>I hope you find it worthwhile to have a former

0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.360
<v Speaker 1>intelligence analyst talking to you and working with you on

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>all these issues here on this show me. But by

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the way, Brennan said, uh, Docier, which is just her

0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:53.320
<v Speaker 1>amount Brennan. When Brennan was at the When Brennan was

0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:54.960
<v Speaker 1>at the agency, it was when one of it was

0:28:55.000 --> 0:28:57.720
<v Speaker 1>when you had the whole And don't you know, you

0:28:57.760 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 1>can say this is a nothing burger, but I don't

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 1>care because it made me annoyed. Brendan was at the CIA,

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 1>and that was when the federal government was in the

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:12.800
<v Speaker 1>whole Uh, it's not. It's not. Um, what's the gosh

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm isis it's Isle, right, and you're President Obama eisl Oh,

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:21.920
<v Speaker 1>it's oh, we gotta dobleisl And everyone's like, what the

0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 1>heck is this isl crap? Just say isis the Islamic

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 1>state of rock and Syria. Well you'll notice it's all

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>gone away all of a sudden. We don't have to

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 1>say ISCEL anymore. This is just Obama and some of

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.200
<v Speaker 1>his top people like, we're we're smart, We're gonna like Eisol.

0:29:34.360 --> 0:29:37.560
<v Speaker 1>There's no basis in reality for this whatsoever makes no sense.

0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I know people say, oh, sham in Arabic was closer

0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>to levant where America. We can call it what we

0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 1>want to call it. It's the Islamic It was the

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Islamic state of Irackan Syria. All right. But you know,

0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>so Brandon was at the eight, it was at the agency.

0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>He's director when we're saying ISCEL all the time, and

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:59.240
<v Speaker 1>now he's running around saying, uh, doucier o the doocey

0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:01.479
<v Speaker 1>it just say dos see a buddy. I know this

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 1>is a little thing and I'm nitpicking here, but whatever

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the point is, I don't like it. And his notion

0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 1>that just because it's unverified doesn't mean it's not true.

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:12.720
<v Speaker 1>That's so misleading in so many ways, because, as I

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 1>was saying to you, this isn't just information that they

0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to run to ground and check. They took action

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:22.760
<v Speaker 1>based on unverified information. And I'm here to tell you

0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of raw intel is crap. A lot

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 1>of it. Raw intel means the information that just comes

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 1>into the various sources of information that we have out

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 1>there in law enforcement, the intelligence community, and a lot

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 1>of you again going to law enforcement world, Yeah, does

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 1>every source who comes to you and says, yeah, you

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 1>know I so and so's uh, you know, running a

0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 1>running a chop shop on the other side of town,

0:30:47.400 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>You're just like, oh, let's get the swat team. I mean,

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 1>usually you're gonna write, I mean, you guys know, you're

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:54.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna do a little checking because if if not, you're

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:57.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna show up, but with a squat team thinking you're

0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.320
<v Speaker 1>breaking up a meth lab or a chop shop, and

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:02.520
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be like Luigi's pizzeria, and you're gonna terrify

0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:04.320
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of people for no reason. And you can

0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:05.920
<v Speaker 1>find out that the guy who called he was actually

0:31:05.960 --> 0:31:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Luigi's competition, Mario. Right. So the point here is they

0:31:12.600 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 1>have to check the information because if you take action

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 1>on unverified information, think about what that opens us up to.

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Most s raw intel is crap. Any of you who

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.160
<v Speaker 1>have worked in the government military, you know this, right,

0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>there's some clown to walk in somewhere to a government building, lucker.

0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, yes, uh Osama bin Laden is hiding under

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:35.720
<v Speaker 1>my bed. I would like a million dollars please. And

0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, technically you may have to report up a

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:40.720
<v Speaker 1>chain of command that there's a guy who says Osama's

0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 1>hiding under his bed at home and he wants a

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. But if you were to have sealed Team

0:31:46.080 --> 0:31:48.880
<v Speaker 1>six repel from helicopters at this guy's home looking for

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Osama under the bed, people are gonna be like, mm hmm,

0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that's probably a for a whole bunch of reasons, a

0:31:56.040 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 1>bad idea. But notice again the dishonesty from one of

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the formerly most senior bureaucrats in the whole intelligence community.

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Just because it's unverified doesn't mean it isn't true. Well,

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 1>that's not the point. You can't take action on it

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:12.520
<v Speaker 1>until it is verified, and therefore you know that it

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:16.360
<v Speaker 1>is true, because if you take action based on unverified information,

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 1>you pollute and distort and degrade the entire process, whether

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 1>it's law enforcement, fies, a warrants, intelligence collection. They keep

0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about undermining institutions. My friends, I can't tell you

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:31.760
<v Speaker 1>this is you want to you want to undermine institutions.

0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Convince the American people that you can open up and

0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:41.760
<v Speaker 1>all encompassing like communications fis a warrant on them based

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 1>on what some dude said to some dude that nobody

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:49.120
<v Speaker 1>ever checked. That's pretty big deal. Oh, the media, it's

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 1>but it's a dud, you see, it's a dud. Yeah. Yeah,

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:55.440
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing is a dud. M. I haven't even

0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 1>gotten into the State Department side of this yet. By

0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the way, we're gonna have some fun with that one.

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, I enjoy taking swipes at the State Department.

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:05.080
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna happen. Uh. We'll also take some of your

0:33:05.080 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 1>calls eight four four nine buck eight four to eight

0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to five. We have much more show. I'm gonna have

0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:14.520

<v Speaker 1>then end of the show. I actually have some really

0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:34.960
<v Speaker 1>uh serious but heartfelt and worthwhile stuff to talk to

0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you about, not about me, but about just wisdom that

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I saw somewhere online and wanted to share with you,

0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and I think you'll particular today. I would hope that

0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>all of you get a chance to either stick around

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 1>until the end of the show or at least download

0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:50.400
<v Speaker 1>this podcast and listen to the uh well, hopefully the

0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 1>whole show, but certally the end of the show, because

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we'll find it really, really worthwhile. And with

0:33:54.760 --> 0:34:06.560
<v Speaker 1>that we'll run into a quick break. Alright to we've

0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:11.359
<v Speaker 1>got some lines. Let let's get to it. Patrick in Wabash, Indiana,

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>what's up, Patrick, Yes, I wanted to know what you

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:21.960
<v Speaker 1>think about nobody's taking this serious enough. Why isn't this

0:34:22.520 --> 0:34:28.479
<v Speaker 1>dossier false? Dossier? And the uranium one deal. Why isn't

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:34.320
<v Speaker 1>it subversion and treason? Fel and Julius Rosenberg have nothing

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:40.040
<v Speaker 1>on Hillary and Obama administration all finding off on this

0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:45.960
<v Speaker 1>uranium one and the uranium goes to our enemy Russia

0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:52.640
<v Speaker 1>and now be selling to Iran and UH North Korea. Okay, Patrick,

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:54.400
<v Speaker 1>hold on, let's slow down a little bit, and I

0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.799
<v Speaker 1>appreciate your passion. A few things here to keep in mind.

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:03.400
<v Speaker 1>One is that on um the Rosenberg's stealing nuclear secrets

0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and and and giving them to our mortal enemies, the

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Soviet Union at the time is that's a very specific thing,

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and it actually does fall under the category of espionage.

0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe they were the last people executed in this

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:19.799
<v Speaker 1>country for espionage, if memory serves UH. Others have all

0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 1>gotten life sentences, the worst of the worst. I've gotten

0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>life sentences. Um, when you're you're talking, you talked about

0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:28.440
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of things here, the uranium uranium one issue.

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I do think that there will be some of hearings

0:35:33.600 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and and investigation into that going on going on with

0:35:36.560 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration. I do believe they'll be looking into

0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 1>it more. I think the DJ has already mentioned something

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 1>about that, but on those issues, for example, the Hillary

0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:48.440
<v Speaker 1>paid a play scheme with the Clinton Foundation, there's a

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of gray area. Look, the Clintons are shady, and

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:54.359
<v Speaker 1>the Clintons both have backgrounds in the law, so they

0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:56.600
<v Speaker 1>now that doesn't mean that Bill didn't break all kinds

0:35:56.640 --> 0:35:58.680
<v Speaker 1>of laws, because he clearly did, and doesn't mean it

0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Hillary didn't break all kinds of laws. She clearly did.

0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:06.120
<v Speaker 1>But they generally tried to use the Clinton Foundation as

0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:09.120
<v Speaker 1>a slush fund, but to do it in such a

0:36:09.160 --> 0:36:11.240
<v Speaker 1>way they would always at least have a defense whereby

0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 1>they're not selling influence, they're selling charity, They're they're helping

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:18.279
<v Speaker 1>the world. So it becomes difficult to get to a

0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:20.920
<v Speaker 1>place where you could bring a specific prosecution against the

0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:23.799
<v Speaker 1>Clinton Foundation unless you're going to try unless you can

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:27.239
<v Speaker 1>prove quid pro quo corruption, which is a very important

0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:29.799
<v Speaker 1>term in this because that's the standard, right meaning what

0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:33.440
<v Speaker 1>for what. So, for example, if I gave the Clintons

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:36.720
<v Speaker 1>a check for the Clinton Foundation for a million dollars,

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 1>and then six months later, my secretary, which I don't have,

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:42.319
<v Speaker 1>nor do I have the kind of money to give

0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 1>them a check, I'm just saying theoretically, six months later,

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:48.680
<v Speaker 1>my assistant, my secretary, calls them and say says, so

0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Buck wants a meeting because he represents a conglomerate that

0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:56.040
<v Speaker 1>needs a state department license to do business in Kazakhstan

0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:59.960
<v Speaker 1>or something that maybe you can get me on a

0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:03.040
<v Speaker 1>quid pro quo. But because it goes into a a

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:06.840
<v Speaker 1>charity instead of directly into my pockets, there's an additional layer.

0:37:06.840 --> 0:37:08.560
<v Speaker 1>And that's the kind of evil genius of what the

0:37:08.600 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Clintons did. They polluted charity, but they created a slush

0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:16.319
<v Speaker 1>fund that that was a branding mechanism for them that

0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:18.720
<v Speaker 1>supported their lifestyle that flew them all over the world.

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:21.759
<v Speaker 1>But they can always use a veil of protection of

0:37:21.800 --> 0:37:23.799
<v Speaker 1>the charity to keep them out of legal jeopardy. And

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I know that's a lot of I'm throwing a lot

0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:27.879
<v Speaker 1>at you, Patrick, but I'm trying to just take your

0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:30.360
<v Speaker 1>your whole thought processes here and then on the on

0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the issue of treason, and UH treason is a very

0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:41.000
<v Speaker 1>specific charge. People use it as a thing to say

0:37:41.080 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 1>about people they don't like, and government treason is giving

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:44.919
<v Speaker 1>aid and comfort to the enemy. So if you're gonna

0:37:44.920 --> 0:37:49.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about illegal uh an actual prosecution of someone for treason.

0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:50.800
<v Speaker 1>You'd have to show them giving aid and comfort to

0:37:50.840 --> 0:37:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the enemy on the uranium. On the uranium issue, they're

0:37:55.040 --> 0:38:00.520
<v Speaker 1>not exporting the uranium, which is true. So that's something

0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:02.200
<v Speaker 1>else that I think you have to keep in mind here.

0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:05.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm as appalled by the Clinton Foundation as

0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:08.799
<v Speaker 1>anybody out there, but I also want to keep keep

0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:11.759
<v Speaker 1>it into in the realm of what is provable and

0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:14.120
<v Speaker 1>what is realistic. I think corruption is provable. I think

0:38:14.160 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 1>treason is going way too far. Um. We got to

0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:19.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about the State Department though, was this a whole

0:38:19.920 --> 0:38:35.400
<v Speaker 1>other area of propaganda against Trump? Will get there. He's

0:38:35.480 --> 0:38:37.840
<v Speaker 1>back with you now, because when it comes to the

0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:42.560
<v Speaker 1>fight for truth, the buck never stops. Welcome back to

0:38:42.600 --> 0:38:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody, our two is upon us.

0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:49.440
<v Speaker 1>And I got some breaking news for you, which I

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:51.279
<v Speaker 1>think I was going to break for you before, but

0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I held it a little longer because I got distracted.

0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:58.880
<v Speaker 1>But here's what we got. The House Committee, the U. S.

0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:02.880
<v Speaker 1>House of Representatives committ has voted to approve the release

0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 1>of the Democrat response to a contentious Republican memo alleging

0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:12.080
<v Speaker 1>FBI bias. That's the headline on Reuter's here, So a

0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:18.000
<v Speaker 1>memo to respond to the memo. That's what we've got here.

0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:22.320
<v Speaker 1>You'll notice that this brings up a whole bunch of

0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:26.120
<v Speaker 1>interesting little side plots, doesn't it. First of all, if

0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the memo was a dud, as we discussed in the

0:39:28.120 --> 0:39:30.719
<v Speaker 1>last hour, which is not true, but which a lot

0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:35.200
<v Speaker 1>of Democrats in their media allies are saying, what's the

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:38.280
<v Speaker 1>need for a response memo if it's a dud. Remember

0:39:38.280 --> 0:39:40.439
<v Speaker 1>they didn't say it's just not true, although they said

0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that too. They're saying it's a dud. Why I respond

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 1>to a dug? Oh? Maybe it actually was important and

0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:48.640
<v Speaker 1>they're just lying to their base and trying to downplay this.

0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:51.480
<v Speaker 1>If it's a dud, there's no need for you to

0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:54.320
<v Speaker 1>release your own. I would also note that their memo

0:39:54.440 --> 0:39:58.279
<v Speaker 1>is I believe, ten pages. Okay, what are they going

0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:01.600
<v Speaker 1>to write for ten pages? Here is my guests, and

0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:06.279
<v Speaker 1>my prediction of the Democrat memo is that it will

0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:12.240
<v Speaker 1>have no additional information, nothing that comes from the realm

0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:16.160
<v Speaker 1>of declassified or anything like that. It will just be

0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:23.319
<v Speaker 1>ten pages of Democrat misdirection and talking points to downplay, undermine,

0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:28.600
<v Speaker 1>and try to quickly move past the Republican memo. So

0:40:30.080 --> 0:40:32.880
<v Speaker 1>that's what I think we're gonna have there. That is

0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:36.680
<v Speaker 1>my expectation for that said, yeah, let's release it. Release

0:40:36.800 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the memo, right, release the memo, Go for it. I

0:40:40.000 --> 0:40:43.400
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't much see any reason not to have

0:40:43.400 --> 0:40:45.319
<v Speaker 1>a release. We'll be joined by Sarah Carter by the way,

0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:48.080
<v Speaker 1>later in the hour to talk about all this stuff,

0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the Fies, the fis a memo, Fies abuse memo, everything

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:54.960
<v Speaker 1>that's going on in this world. Because Sarah's on the

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:57.400
<v Speaker 1>front lines breaking stories on this and dealing with it

0:40:57.440 --> 0:41:05.759
<v Speaker 1>all the time. So yeah, yeah, the memo will be released.

0:41:06.320 --> 0:41:08.200
<v Speaker 1>The memo is going to be released. I think it's

0:41:08.239 --> 0:41:09.880
<v Speaker 1>going to the White House now. Some are saying that

0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Trump might block it. I no reason for Trump to

0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:19.640
<v Speaker 1>block it. I can't imagine. Now if the Democrats get

0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:23.160
<v Speaker 1>this memo through, if they are in fact able to

0:41:23.560 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 1>get this thing released, then we can expect that if

0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:29.799
<v Speaker 1>my prediction about it is true that it has no

0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:33.680
<v Speaker 1>new information, that it is just a screed, it is

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:39.760
<v Speaker 1>an editorial posing as national security information to set straight

0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:44.279
<v Speaker 1>some aspect of this debate, then that will show us

0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:51.279
<v Speaker 1>that once again Democrats were either exaggerating, were lying. When

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:55.520
<v Speaker 1>it came to national security information, they were lying. There

0:41:55.600 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 1>was no national security information that was sensitive, that was

0:41:58.760 --> 0:42:01.400
<v Speaker 1>problematic in its release in the Republican memo. That was

0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:03.840
<v Speaker 1>a lie. Now they're saying that it was a or

0:42:03.960 --> 0:42:06.479
<v Speaker 1>they were saying immediately that the Republican Memo was a dud.

0:42:07.320 --> 0:42:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess we can call it the Shift memo. You know,

0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:17.520
<v Speaker 1>America is about to get shift. Um that is likely

0:42:17.600 --> 0:42:21.160
<v Speaker 1>to have nothing of substance, and that they can't come

0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:24.640
<v Speaker 1>up with any substance. I'm predicting here, but I I

0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:26.440
<v Speaker 1>have very high confidence in this one. I wish there

0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:28.480
<v Speaker 1>was a way I could legally place a bet in

0:42:28.560 --> 0:42:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Vegas on this one. Um. That will just go to

0:42:31.960 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 1>show you that all of their oh there's a lack

0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:36.520
<v Speaker 1>of context, is a lack of context. This is their

0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:43.120
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to show us the context. This is the opportunity

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to show us what the context is for, or that

0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:50.480
<v Speaker 1>what the lack of context is for the Republican memo,

0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:52.799
<v Speaker 1>because that's what they were always saying, right, And that's

0:42:52.800 --> 0:42:58.279
<v Speaker 1>what something the FBI said to it'll omit it omitted information. Oh,

0:42:58.320 --> 0:43:02.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. Well, we'll see we'll see if

0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:04.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm wrong. I'm willing to bet. I think a lot

0:43:04.840 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of you would be with me here, and I bet

0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:08.359
<v Speaker 1>that I'm right on this one. So that's one part

0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:10.799
<v Speaker 1>of a Democrat memo now is going through the same process.

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:13.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, what is it? What's the deal for? What's

0:43:13.840 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 1>good for the goose is good for the gander? Right,

0:43:15.560 --> 0:43:19.359
<v Speaker 1>isn't that? But is that like old old nursery wrong stuff? Yeah,

0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:20.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm talking about. That's an old phrase,

0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:25.040
<v Speaker 1>old old time phrase there from Buck And that's true.

0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:28.919
<v Speaker 1>If you're for transparency, then you're for transparency. That's This

0:43:29.000 --> 0:43:32.120
<v Speaker 1>is pretty straightforward. This is not overly complicated. Democrats want

0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:34.400
<v Speaker 1>to release their own memo, fine, go forth, it's not

0:43:34.400 --> 0:43:36.640
<v Speaker 1>going to change anything. In fact, I think you'll just

0:43:36.640 --> 0:43:38.920
<v Speaker 1>see that they're repeating what they already have on this.

0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:43.080
<v Speaker 1>They're repeating what they've already been saying. Let's get onto

0:43:43.160 --> 0:43:47.279
<v Speaker 1>some new information. Though. There's another interesting part of this

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:53.120
<v Speaker 1>whole fis abuse scandal, surveillance of card he Page and

0:43:53.239 --> 0:43:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Papadopolis and how this ties into Trump and how the

0:43:56.760 --> 0:44:00.520
<v Speaker 1>media is trying to use this two under mind and

0:44:00.520 --> 0:44:04.759
<v Speaker 1>in fact end this administration. What is the new information

0:44:04.800 --> 0:44:07.640
<v Speaker 1>that we have on this. Well, here's Katherine Herrick from

0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Fox News. Last month, the Republican chairman of the Senate

0:44:10.800 --> 0:44:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley, along with another senior Senate Republican,

0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Lindsey Graham, sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department

0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:21.840
<v Speaker 1>asking for an investigation of the former British by Christopher Steele,

0:44:21.880 --> 0:44:24.640
<v Speaker 1>who compiled the dossier, on the basis that they said

0:44:24.640 --> 0:44:27.000
<v Speaker 1>there was evidence that he had lined to the FBI

0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:30.719
<v Speaker 1>about his contact with the media and the distribution of

0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:34.319
<v Speaker 1>the dossier. And the document is a new allegation by

0:44:34.360 --> 0:44:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the senators that Clinton associates also fed information to steal

0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and it reads, in part, it is troubling enough that

0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the Clinton campaign funded Mr Steele's work, but that these

0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Clinton associates were contemporary contemporaneously feeding Mr steele allegations raises

0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:58.560
<v Speaker 1>additional concerns about his credibility. Oh wait a second, So,

0:44:58.800 --> 0:45:03.880
<v Speaker 1>considering Clinton was a Secretary of State, which means that

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:06.160
<v Speaker 1>she was the boss of the State Department for a while,

0:45:07.000 --> 0:45:10.040
<v Speaker 1>boss lady of the State Department, and she would have

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:13.840
<v Speaker 1>had ties to very senior people in the State Department.

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:17.120
<v Speaker 1>As a result of that, the State Department leans left.

0:45:17.280 --> 0:45:19.799
<v Speaker 1>To begin with, I've told you that in the past,

0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'm reiterating it here today. What the heck is

0:45:24.560 --> 0:45:28.680
<v Speaker 1>this all about? Now we're being told that there were

0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:34.080
<v Speaker 1>folks who were Clinton acolytes disciples, I mean, Clinton cronies

0:45:34.280 --> 0:45:37.719
<v Speaker 1>in State. Because remember, if you're the assistant deputy assistant

0:45:38.360 --> 0:45:41.760
<v Speaker 1>secretary of whatever at the State Department, you know, deputy

0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:47.800
<v Speaker 1>under assistant under assistant secretary, you stay around after Hillary

0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:51.440
<v Speaker 1>moves on to whatever. I mean, you stay around in

0:45:51.520 --> 0:45:55.000
<v Speaker 1>your State Department job most likely. Oh and by the way,

0:45:55.040 --> 0:45:57.120
<v Speaker 1>how would you leave or how would you get elevated

0:45:57.160 --> 0:46:00.640
<v Speaker 1>from your deputy under assistant assistant secretary job at State

0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:04.960
<v Speaker 1>if Hillary becomes president. So you have quite a vested

0:46:05.000 --> 0:46:09.000
<v Speaker 1>interest in a Hillary presidency because she would be immensely powerful.

0:46:09.560 --> 0:46:11.719
<v Speaker 1>She'd be in a position to either elevate you within

0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:15.200
<v Speaker 1>the State Department bureaucracy or get you one of those

0:46:15.360 --> 0:46:19.839
<v Speaker 1>really lucrative consulting gigs for former government employees that tend

0:46:19.880 --> 0:46:23.359
<v Speaker 1>to go the way of the swamp dwellers, if you will,

0:46:23.400 --> 0:46:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the d C insiders, right, get some fat contract to

0:46:27.480 --> 0:46:30.800
<v Speaker 1>advise people and basically just have lunch and do Google searches.

0:46:30.920 --> 0:46:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I would know what. I have friends who have worked

0:46:32.560 --> 0:46:35.880
<v Speaker 1>for these places on K Street. You know that's what happens.

0:46:36.640 --> 0:46:38.240
<v Speaker 1>So if you want to get one of those gigs

0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:42.719
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden triple or quadruple your government salary,

0:46:42.960 --> 0:46:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you know you want Hillary to win. And so what

0:46:45.680 --> 0:46:50.920
<v Speaker 1>we're being told here is that Christopher Steele was also

0:46:51.000 --> 0:46:55.719
<v Speaker 1>giving information. I'm sorry that Clinton associates were also giving

0:46:55.719 --> 0:46:58.760
<v Speaker 1>information to the Christopher Steel at the time. So people

0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:02.720
<v Speaker 1>within the State Department, if you're acocracy, we're in fact,

0:47:04.160 --> 0:47:08.239
<v Speaker 1>uh telling Christopher Steel stuff. Oh and by the way,

0:47:08.280 --> 0:47:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like my information might have gone the other

0:47:10.520 --> 0:47:15.000
<v Speaker 1>way too. Here's former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Newland.

0:47:15.760 --> 0:47:18.759
<v Speaker 1>When he was doing this other work and became concerned

0:47:18.960 --> 0:47:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the dossier. The dossier he passed two to four pages

0:47:24.320 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 1>of short points of what he was finding, and our

0:47:27.680 --> 0:47:32.200
<v Speaker 1>immediate reaction to that was this is not in our purview.

0:47:32.640 --> 0:47:35.040
<v Speaker 1>This needs to go to the FBI. If there is

0:47:35.080 --> 0:47:39.759
<v Speaker 1>any concern here that one candidate or the election as

0:47:39.760 --> 0:47:43.239
<v Speaker 1>a whole might be influenced by the Russian Federation, that's

0:47:43.280 --> 0:47:48.120
<v Speaker 1>for something for the FBI to investigate. So hold on

0:47:48.160 --> 0:47:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a second, which is it here? Because if you have

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Clinton cronies at the State Department giving Steel information and

0:47:55.680 --> 0:47:59.200
<v Speaker 1>then Steele running that to the FBI, do you also

0:47:59.280 --> 0:48:03.239
<v Speaker 1>have Steel getting his information however he gets it, and

0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:05.400
<v Speaker 1>then going back to the State Department to meet with

0:48:05.400 --> 0:48:07.840
<v Speaker 1>member state departments, a huge organization, meet with other people,

0:48:07.840 --> 0:48:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and say, oh, this is the information I've got. I mean,

0:48:10.600 --> 0:48:15.319
<v Speaker 1>this is circle circular reporting in the worst possible way,

0:48:15.320 --> 0:48:18.520
<v Speaker 1>which is a cardinal sin in intelligence and analysis work.

0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:22.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't take one source and then pretend it's three sources.

0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:25.759
<v Speaker 1>In fact, if you were writing a high school report

0:48:26.520 --> 0:48:33.080
<v Speaker 1>on yeah, you know Liechtenstein and or is it Stein

0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and you really just use the encyclopedia, but you wrote

0:48:36.600 --> 0:48:40.359
<v Speaker 1>like five books about, you know, my glorious travel in Liechtenstein,

0:48:40.440 --> 0:48:43.719
<v Speaker 1>You've made up sources. That's bad, right, that's actually some

0:48:43.760 --> 0:48:46.440
<v Speaker 1>people would fail you for that. Others would just take

0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:47.920
<v Speaker 1>points off. But you're not supposed to do that. You're

0:48:47.920 --> 0:48:50.759
<v Speaker 1>not supposed to fake the sources that you have or

0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:54.759
<v Speaker 1>pretend that one source is really several sources. In intelligence work,

0:48:54.760 --> 0:48:57.400
<v Speaker 1>you can imagine quite the same quite the same issue.

0:48:58.120 --> 0:48:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Right If if I come up to you and I

0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:01.080
<v Speaker 1>tell you that it was m lawns under my bed,

0:49:01.840 --> 0:49:04.719
<v Speaker 1>you may say, well, you know, Buck's had a long day,

0:49:04.760 --> 0:49:06.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe he's at out of it. If I say I've

0:49:06.960 --> 0:49:10.920
<v Speaker 1>got five different people, all of whom can confirm that

0:49:10.960 --> 0:49:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Osaman Lawdon's hiding under my bed, you might say to me, ohoa,

0:49:14.160 --> 0:49:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that seems I mean, who are the who are these people?

0:49:16.000 --> 0:49:18.160
<v Speaker 1>When in reality they're just four people that I told that,

0:49:18.200 --> 0:49:19.879
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, yeah, I guess Buck's telling the truth.

0:49:19.960 --> 0:49:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Now it's five people, all independently corroborating that. You know,

0:49:23.239 --> 0:49:25.560
<v Speaker 1>that's where Osama's hiding. Yeah, that's right. You know he's

0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:30.840
<v Speaker 1>still running around somewhere. Um, that's that's one way of

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:33.640
<v Speaker 1>looking at this problem. Meaning that's what I think happened. Here.

0:49:33.680 --> 0:49:36.879
<v Speaker 1>You have Steel running around trying to wage a one

0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:41.439
<v Speaker 1>man campaign to stop Trump from becoming president. And mind

0:49:41.440 --> 0:49:43.120
<v Speaker 1>he's also a foreigner. I know that we think of

0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:45.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Brits are like our cousins across the ocean.

0:49:45.320 --> 0:49:47.360
<v Speaker 1>But he's not an American, not a lot of vote,

0:49:48.040 --> 0:49:50.960
<v Speaker 1>not not really a part of our political process. And

0:49:51.040 --> 0:49:57.200
<v Speaker 1>given the fury and fervor over all the Russian machinations

0:49:57.200 --> 0:49:59.520
<v Speaker 1>of all kinds about our election, and it's all foreign

0:49:59.520 --> 0:50:02.640
<v Speaker 1>influence in election. Christopher Steel is for an influence in

0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:06.279
<v Speaker 1>the election, folks. I don't want the Brits or the

0:50:06.320 --> 0:50:10.319
<v Speaker 1>British government or any other government trying to determine what

0:50:10.360 --> 0:50:12.600
<v Speaker 1>goes on here anymore than I want the Russian government

0:50:12.600 --> 0:50:15.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to determine what goes on over here. You know,

0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the Swedes are great, I don't want them picking our

0:50:17.120 --> 0:50:19.839
<v Speaker 1>next president. In fact, I think that the Swedes would

0:50:19.840 --> 0:50:22.000
<v Speaker 1>be just as bad at picking our next president as

0:50:22.000 --> 0:50:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of other countries that are way less

0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:31.480
<v Speaker 1>economically well off in Sweden. So that's just something else

0:50:31.520 --> 0:50:34.759
<v Speaker 1>to keep in mind. I find this, this whole notion

0:50:34.800 --> 0:50:38.160
<v Speaker 1>of the State Department now being an additional avenue for

0:50:38.239 --> 0:50:43.759
<v Speaker 1>information that is anti Trump, very troubling and completely believable.

0:50:43.800 --> 0:50:47.759
<v Speaker 1>By the way I I've had, I've had many many

0:50:47.800 --> 0:50:49.520
<v Speaker 1>friends at State from over the years when I lived

0:50:49.520 --> 0:50:51.040
<v Speaker 1>in d C. I had a lot of State Department

0:50:51.040 --> 0:50:52.520
<v Speaker 1>friends and spent a lot of time around people the

0:50:52.520 --> 0:50:56.920
<v Speaker 1>State Department. And it's a the best way to think

0:50:56.960 --> 0:50:59.200
<v Speaker 1>about the State Department and people I know I'm gonna get,

0:50:59.239 --> 0:51:01.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, an angry email or two. Here, someone like Buck,

0:51:01.280 --> 0:51:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I work for State and like, I'm awesome. I'm like,

0:51:03.000 --> 0:51:05.399
<v Speaker 1>I love America. What are you doing? I know you're out,

0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I get it, But I'm talking about in the aggregate

0:51:08.640 --> 0:51:12.799
<v Speaker 1>right in general, and the prototypical State Department guy or

0:51:12.840 --> 0:51:19.320
<v Speaker 1>gal is an urban dwelling Democrat who thinks that Bernie

0:51:19.320 --> 0:51:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Sanders would have been a great option. Okay, that's you

0:51:22.440 --> 0:51:25.520
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of that at the State Department. Uh.

0:51:25.640 --> 0:51:28.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, they speak foreign languages from their study abroad

0:51:28.360 --> 0:51:33.839
<v Speaker 1>programs from predominantly like second tier private colleges, and they

0:51:33.880 --> 0:51:35.759
<v Speaker 1>think that, you know, people should listen to them more

0:51:35.800 --> 0:51:38.239
<v Speaker 1>because of that. So you get a lot of that

0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:41.520
<v Speaker 1>at State. And that means you're gonna have a whole

0:51:41.520 --> 0:51:43.600
<v Speaker 1>bunch of folks that are, let's just say, not part

0:51:43.600 --> 0:51:47.719
<v Speaker 1>of the MAGA movement. So if they were in some

0:51:47.760 --> 0:51:50.680
<v Speaker 1>way involved here in the Steel dossier, I would it

0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:53.279
<v Speaker 1>would not surprise me in the least. And no matter what,

0:51:53.360 --> 0:51:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And now, I just I just want to know was

0:51:54.640 --> 0:51:56.480
<v Speaker 1>it a one way information flow or two way? Was

0:51:56.520 --> 0:52:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Steel briefing State with anti Trump stuff? Was State briefing

0:52:01.160 --> 0:52:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Steel with anti Trump stuff? Or was it both ways? Right?

0:52:06.160 --> 0:52:07.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what we need to figure out now, but it

0:52:07.880 --> 0:52:13.040
<v Speaker 1>seems quite clear that we have, um we have some

0:52:13.040 --> 0:52:15.200
<v Speaker 1>some additional digging to do. To that point about digging,

0:52:15.200 --> 0:52:18.600
<v Speaker 1>we have investigative journalist Sarah Carter joining us here in

0:52:18.760 --> 0:52:22.520
<v Speaker 1>just a few minutes, so we will get into quite

0:52:22.520 --> 0:52:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a bit of that. I would note that there are

0:52:24.360 --> 0:52:28.000
<v Speaker 1>some reports today about what's going on with Syria and Rock,

0:52:28.239 --> 0:52:32.640
<v Speaker 1>including US troops pulling out of a rock. Someone remind

0:52:32.680 --> 0:52:34.560
<v Speaker 1>me tomorrow. I'll get it. We'll do a buck brief

0:52:34.640 --> 0:52:37.959
<v Speaker 1>some national security work on what's going on over there

0:52:37.960 --> 0:52:39.480
<v Speaker 1>and what we're gonna do. And it looks like we

0:52:39.560 --> 0:52:41.880
<v Speaker 1>might be withdrawing from Syria and large numbers or not

0:52:41.960 --> 0:52:45.120
<v Speaker 1>large numbers, but a large percentage might be withdrawing from Iraq.

0:52:45.280 --> 0:52:47.880
<v Speaker 1>What that all means, and what's going on with the

0:52:47.880 --> 0:52:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Assad regime, what we can expect there. That's not something

0:52:50.360 --> 0:52:53.640
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna hit today, but I just want to keep

0:52:53.680 --> 0:52:55.719
<v Speaker 1>that in the background of what we're talking about on

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the show. And also I'm hoping to do a little

0:52:58.080 --> 0:53:00.400
<v Speaker 1>bit of a deep dive and a history three of

0:53:00.880 --> 0:53:04.400
<v Speaker 1>MS thirteen, specifically as we get going here on the

0:53:04.520 --> 0:53:08.840
<v Speaker 1>immigration debate, and we talked about enforcement priorities and sanctuary cities.

0:53:08.880 --> 0:53:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I think we should all have a baseline understanding and

0:53:13.760 --> 0:53:16.640
<v Speaker 1>background history on ms there Tomorrow, Salvat Trout show m

0:53:16.719 --> 0:53:18.759
<v Speaker 1>S their teen and what the gang has, what it's

0:53:18.760 --> 0:53:21.160
<v Speaker 1>been all about, what it does and how big it

0:53:21.280 --> 0:53:23.680
<v Speaker 1>is and everything else. So I think that's despite what

0:53:24.120 --> 0:53:26.360
<v Speaker 1>MSNBC said last week about how no one knows I

0:53:26.440 --> 0:53:29.799
<v Speaker 1>m S thirteen except for Fox News viewers or whatever.

0:53:30.960 --> 0:53:33.960
<v Speaker 1>You know. I guess over at MSNBC, knowledge is not power.

0:53:34.080 --> 0:53:37.120
<v Speaker 1>You see much better. You know you want? You want

0:53:37.160 --> 0:53:39.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ignorance. All right, we're gonna roll into

0:53:39.160 --> 0:53:50.920
<v Speaker 1>a quick break. We'll be right back. Yea. The actual

0:53:51.239 --> 0:53:55.520
<v Speaker 1>political motivation and beginning of this was on the Republican side.

0:53:55.880 --> 0:53:58.480
<v Speaker 1>It was then switched over where there was democratic funding.

0:53:58.800 --> 0:54:00.960
<v Speaker 1>It really goes to the credit ability, but that is

0:54:01.000 --> 0:54:03.360
<v Speaker 1>an issue that the judge and issuing the fires of

0:54:03.400 --> 0:54:07.560
<v Speaker 1>warrant takes into consideration. So Dick Durbin is still run

0:54:07.640 --> 0:54:09.959
<v Speaker 1>around with that. You know, all the dossier stuff started

0:54:09.960 --> 0:54:14.600
<v Speaker 1>with the Republicans. Like, no, come on, Dick Durbin. I'm

0:54:14.640 --> 0:54:16.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna say you're better than that, but that's not true either,

0:54:17.080 --> 0:54:20.120
<v Speaker 1>But come on, man, come on, you know, tell tell

0:54:20.160 --> 0:54:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the truth at least? Why not? Yeah, we only go

0:54:22.520 --> 0:54:24.279
<v Speaker 1>around once in this world. Why not tell the truth

0:54:24.360 --> 0:54:27.279
<v Speaker 1>for a change. Another thing I meant to get to

0:54:27.280 --> 0:54:29.640
<v Speaker 1>you before, and we're gonna have Sarah Carter joining us

0:54:29.680 --> 0:54:32.000
<v Speaker 1>here shortly, and then we'll also get into in the

0:54:32.120 --> 0:54:35.600
<v Speaker 1>next hour a little bit of Super Bowl reaction, Hillary

0:54:35.680 --> 0:54:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Clinton blaming misogyny and saying and saying that climate change

0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:43.280
<v Speaker 1>is misogynistic. Get ready for that. It's a real thing, everybody,

0:54:43.360 --> 0:54:45.800
<v Speaker 1>next hour. And at the end of the hour, I

0:54:45.840 --> 0:54:49.840
<v Speaker 1>have some some thoughts, some some wisdom from well of

0:54:50.160 --> 0:54:55.239
<v Speaker 1>particularly important and heartfelt place for all of you. That's

0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just sharing with you. It's not from me, but

0:54:57.200 --> 0:54:59.200
<v Speaker 1>it's something that I saw. I think you'll all appreciate.

0:54:59.280 --> 0:55:01.279
<v Speaker 1>And that's at the end of the next year. I

0:55:01.400 --> 0:55:04.440
<v Speaker 1>hope you can stay through for that. I saw this

0:55:04.520 --> 0:55:08.480
<v Speaker 1>guy or I saw this editorial why I Am leaving

0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the FBI, And I've noticed a trend here former And look,

0:55:13.480 --> 0:55:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I was early on this one, right. It used to

0:55:15.120 --> 0:55:18.080
<v Speaker 1>be what do you mean you're you're leaving You're leaving

0:55:18.120 --> 0:55:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the intelligence community and you're going to be in media.

0:55:20.560 --> 0:55:22.800
<v Speaker 1>And like, now all these guys want to be in media,

0:55:22.960 --> 0:55:26.920
<v Speaker 1>right I was. Let's be honest, you know, Clapper and

0:55:27.880 --> 0:55:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Brandon and Prete Burrah on all these guys. You're welcome,

0:55:32.880 --> 0:55:36.040
<v Speaker 1>You're welcome. I was a trend setter here. I was

0:55:36.120 --> 0:55:38.160
<v Speaker 1>early on. I've I've been doing this for seven years.

0:55:38.880 --> 0:55:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I was early. Now everyone wants to get in on

0:55:41.719 --> 0:55:44.200
<v Speaker 1>this game. Right. All these guys are working government. They're like, oh,

0:55:44.280 --> 0:55:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I was in all that, being under Assistant Secretary for

0:55:48.320 --> 0:55:52.560
<v Speaker 1>for logistics of making sure potato chips were adequately stocked

0:55:52.600 --> 0:55:54.239
<v Speaker 1>in the in the break room, you know. And they're

0:55:54.239 --> 0:55:57.520
<v Speaker 1>all now on run around over at MSNBC and whatnot.

0:55:58.280 --> 0:56:01.800
<v Speaker 1>But this guy writes this piece of the for the

0:56:02.040 --> 0:56:06.040
<v Speaker 1>New York Times, why I Am leaving the FBI, and

0:56:06.520 --> 0:56:11.000
<v Speaker 1>it has a lot of like self congratulatory stuff. You know.

0:56:11.560 --> 0:56:13.800
<v Speaker 1>One of the greatest honors of my life was walking

0:56:13.840 --> 0:56:16.640
<v Speaker 1>across the stage at FBI Academy and receiving my special

0:56:16.719 --> 0:56:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Agent path from the director Robert Mueller. Oh, big surprise, Mueller,

0:56:21.200 --> 0:56:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you know. And then he goes on and on and

0:56:22.560 --> 0:56:27.200
<v Speaker 1>he starts to say, you know that this is all

0:56:27.280 --> 0:56:30.360
<v Speaker 1>it's also partisan. What are we to make that of

0:56:30.440 --> 0:56:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the recent allegations of political bias at the FBI, particularly

0:56:33.840 --> 0:56:37.080
<v Speaker 1>those involving two employees who is cringeworthy texts continue to

0:56:37.120 --> 0:56:41.600
<v Speaker 1>threaten the agency's reputation. Uh, these political attacks on the

0:56:41.640 --> 0:56:44.319
<v Speaker 1>bureau must stop. If those critics of the agency blah

0:56:44.320 --> 0:56:45.759
<v Speaker 1>blahla and he goes on right, so that this is

0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:48.160
<v Speaker 1>why he's he's leaving the FBI because the political criticism

0:56:48.239 --> 0:56:50.960
<v Speaker 1>is saying, right, who wants to guess what we find

0:56:50.960 --> 0:56:52.839
<v Speaker 1>out next about this guy who left the FBI? Who

0:56:52.840 --> 0:56:55.279
<v Speaker 1>wants to who wants they can guess did he go?

0:56:55.800 --> 0:56:58.000
<v Speaker 1>You know? Is he gonna go lead a quiet life

0:56:58.040 --> 0:57:01.840
<v Speaker 1>somewhere just you know, volunteering in his off time and

0:57:02.280 --> 0:57:06.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to build a small business. Oh he's a CNN analyst. Now,

0:57:06.600 --> 0:57:10.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh what a shock, what a So he's leaving the

0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:14.719
<v Speaker 1>FBI because of political pressure and he's running right over

0:57:14.800 --> 0:57:19.000
<v Speaker 1>to CNN right away. M hmm. Is it really the

0:57:19.320 --> 0:57:22.000
<v Speaker 1>political pressure at the FBI that's bothering him or is

0:57:22.080 --> 0:57:28.320
<v Speaker 1>it the capitalizing here? Is is it the best option

0:57:28.400 --> 0:57:31.720
<v Speaker 1>for him to try and ride this wave into a

0:57:31.800 --> 0:57:34.480
<v Speaker 1>contributorship gig somewhere. I want to let the guy know, look,

0:57:34.600 --> 0:57:36.440
<v Speaker 1>go to see it. You know, you'll be there for

0:57:36.520 --> 0:57:39.120
<v Speaker 1>a year. You'll be on TV sometimes, but you know,

0:57:39.360 --> 0:57:40.960
<v Speaker 1>they're still not going to give you a show, buddy.

0:57:41.520 --> 0:57:44.040
<v Speaker 1>They only give shows to people that are really inside

0:57:44.160 --> 0:57:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the inside the cool kids table, you know. So go

0:57:47.360 --> 0:57:48.800
<v Speaker 1>have fun over there for a little bit. But at

0:57:48.800 --> 0:57:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, yet another voice saying that

0:57:51.000 --> 0:57:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump is basically Hitler, not adding the conversation. It's not

0:57:54.360 --> 0:57:57.400
<v Speaker 1>helpful and pretending that you're above politics and that's why

0:57:57.480 --> 0:57:59.800
<v Speaker 1>you left the FBI so you can go be an

0:58:00.000 --> 0:58:05.400
<v Speaker 1>a list at CNN. Is comical. It is comical. We

0:58:05.520 --> 0:58:07.440
<v Speaker 1>got Sarah Carter joinings here in a few minutes. She's,

0:58:07.960 --> 0:58:09.600
<v Speaker 1>like I said, front lines of this issue with the

0:58:09.640 --> 0:58:11.800
<v Speaker 1>memo and everything else. So she's also good friend of mine.

0:58:11.800 --> 0:58:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Stay with it. Other shows just talk at you in

0:58:25.600 --> 0:58:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the Freedom Mud. We have a mission. We fight for

0:58:28.920 --> 0:58:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the truth in a team effort, and Buck is back

0:58:32.320 --> 0:58:37.160
<v Speaker 1>with our next play. Alright, alright, So the memo continues

0:58:37.280 --> 0:58:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to be top of the news cycle, a lot of

0:58:40.680 --> 0:58:43.280
<v Speaker 1>back and forth over the weekend after the meto dropped

0:58:43.440 --> 0:58:47.040
<v Speaker 1>on Friday. We have a lady with us right now

0:58:47.240 --> 0:58:49.880
<v Speaker 1>who has been at the center of the storm on

0:58:50.000 --> 0:58:52.960
<v Speaker 1>this for quite some time because she's actually chasing down

0:58:53.080 --> 0:58:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the truth and getting facts out there so that we

0:58:55.640 --> 0:58:58.440
<v Speaker 1>know what's real and what's not. With all this, we

0:58:58.520 --> 0:59:01.800
<v Speaker 1>have Sarah Carter on the line. She's an investigative journalist

0:59:01.880 --> 0:59:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and also a Fox News contributor and an old pal

0:59:05.080 --> 0:59:08.240
<v Speaker 1>of mind. Sarah, thank you for making the time. Oh

0:59:08.360 --> 0:59:10.440
<v Speaker 1>it's great, but it's great to be with you. All right.

0:59:10.480 --> 0:59:13.400
<v Speaker 1>So first in the memo aftermath, a lot of things

0:59:13.480 --> 0:59:16.520
<v Speaker 1>coming up now and as I suspected, that was just

0:59:16.840 --> 0:59:20.880
<v Speaker 1>an important day, kind of a major data point in

0:59:21.000 --> 0:59:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the story. But by no means the end of any

0:59:23.400 --> 0:59:26.600
<v Speaker 1>of these stories. Tell me a bit about this criminal

0:59:26.720 --> 0:59:31.680
<v Speaker 1>referral with Christopher Steele and UH and Grasslely in Congress,

0:59:31.880 --> 0:59:35.200
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with that? I think this is probably

0:59:35.280 --> 0:59:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the biggest development in the case of the fight subbut

0:59:39.080 --> 0:59:43.200
<v Speaker 1>case as well as the dotier on January for its basically,

0:59:43.400 --> 0:59:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Senator Grassley and Senator Linda Graham referred to the Justice

0:59:47.760 --> 0:59:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Department Christopher Steele for a criminal investigation, and basically that

0:59:52.600 --> 0:59:54.800
<v Speaker 1>was based on information that they had obtained from the

0:59:54.960 --> 0:59:58.400
<v Speaker 1>FBI when they looked at Christopher Steele's own testimony in

0:59:58.480 --> 1:00:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the London courts and others and compared that to FBI

1:00:01.840 --> 1:00:05.920
<v Speaker 1>information that they had received. And today they actually released

1:00:06.200 --> 1:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>a heavily redacted criminal referral that if you pick through

1:00:10.400 --> 1:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the criminal referral, you see that they accused him of

1:00:13.880 --> 1:00:17.520
<v Speaker 1>blatantly lying to the FBI. Further, you see that there

1:00:17.560 --> 1:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>were other people involved in what appears to be a

1:00:19.960 --> 1:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>second dossier. Now I've spoken to my sources, and those

1:00:23.600 --> 1:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>those sources have said that the second dossier was information

1:00:28.400 --> 1:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>said by Chris By actually by Hillary Clinton's allies, her friends,

1:00:33.040 --> 1:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to Christopher Stile. And there was someone in particular at

1:00:36.280 --> 1:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the State Department that was also feeding information to Christopher

1:00:40.120 --> 1:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Steele that he then used in his dossier, which was

1:00:44.080 --> 1:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>used to obtain the Pytho warrant. So this is a

1:00:46.920 --> 1:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>very circular, very in and I'm sorry for the noise

1:00:50.240 --> 1:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>of the background and outdoors, but this is a This

1:00:53.400 --> 1:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>this shows how very incestuous they say it was between

1:00:56.720 --> 1:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Chris Christopher Stile, Hillary Clinton, and others involved in putting

1:01:00.560 --> 1:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>together this DOFFI don't worry, Sarah. We assume that if

1:01:03.280 --> 1:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>you're outside, it's because you've got a dead drop going

1:01:05.640 --> 1:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>with one of your sources and you're about to get

1:01:07.920 --> 1:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>another another bombshell out there, so we excuse any any

1:01:10.920 --> 1:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>at all. Envia noise is fun. But tell me a

1:01:13.560 --> 1:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>bit about where where the Democrat memo stands in all this.

1:01:18.480 --> 1:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm seeing that the the House may vote on it.

1:01:22.200 --> 1:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm well, I mean, tell me what you're hearing from

1:01:24.400 --> 1:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>your sources about why should or should this not come out. Look,

1:01:29.160 --> 1:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>every source I've spoken to says, let the Democrat memo

1:01:31.960 --> 1:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>come out. Let them come out with their ten page

1:01:33.920 --> 1:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>rebuttal I spoke to others who said that it's lappable

1:01:38.120 --> 1:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>on its face. I don't know if that's true. I

1:01:40.280 --> 1:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>have not had a chance to look at that. The

1:01:42.520 --> 1:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Democrats want to put their point of view out there.

1:01:44.880 --> 1:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>They you know, they have stated over and over again

1:01:48.040 --> 1:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>over the last few days that the new nest memo

1:01:51.600 --> 1:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>is not accurate, is that it doesn't tell the whole story,

1:01:55.440 --> 1:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and they want to release their own. But remember they

1:01:57.680 --> 1:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>have to go through the same process, but the exact

1:02:01.000 --> 1:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>same process that the Republicans went through, and that means

1:02:04.040 --> 1:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>that their NEMO, their memo, needs to be thoroughly vetted,

1:02:07.400 --> 1:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and it has not been vetted yet. It is in

1:02:09.280 --> 1:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the process of being vetted and apparently as soon as

1:02:12.320 --> 1:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>that is done, they will vote to pass so that

1:02:15.800 --> 1:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Memo can go forward and become public as well.

1:02:19.160 --> 1:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's important. I think it's important that

1:02:21.760 --> 1:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>we see both sides of this and understand where a

1:02:24.800 --> 1:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>representative shift is coming from and what he is going

1:02:28.160 --> 1:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to do to can be to contend with the new NIMMO.

1:02:31.880 --> 1:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>But I tell you this, I've spoken to a number

1:02:34.200 --> 1:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>of sources who had direct access to the McCabe testimony,

1:02:39.880 --> 1:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and they said he would specifically asked about the Steel

1:02:43.080 --> 1:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>dossier and whether or not the fight the application could

1:02:46.600 --> 1:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>have been obtained without it. And according to the sources

1:02:49.720 --> 1:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>that I've spoken with, McCabe was very explicit that he

1:02:53.320 --> 1:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>would not have been able to obtain the fight to warrant.

1:02:56.080 --> 1:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>The FBI would not have been able to obtain it

1:02:58.080 --> 1:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>without the dossier. What can you tell us, Sarah and

1:03:00.600 --> 1:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>everyone we're speaking to Sarah Carter check out her latest

1:03:03.640 --> 1:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>because she's the one who's been dropping bombshells on this

1:03:06.000 --> 1:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>story now for over a year. Sarah a no h

1:03:09.520 --> 1:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Sarah and then a Carter dot Com is where she

1:03:12.440 --> 1:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>posts her pieces, as well as in various outlets across

1:03:15.640 --> 1:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the country, Sarah, there's this talking point we heard a

1:03:18.880 --> 1:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of in the twenty four or forty eight hours

1:03:21.280 --> 1:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>after the memo drop that well, they already were doing

1:03:24.320 --> 1:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>surveillance on Page before the the dossier came into effect,

1:03:31.280 --> 1:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and or they were doing surveillance on Papadopoulos before the

1:03:34.960 --> 1:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>dossier came into effect. Do we have any are people

1:03:38.720 --> 1:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>just saying that without being able to prove it? Do

1:03:40.520 --> 1:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>we have any information on that? What? What can you

1:03:42.480 --> 1:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>tell us about that? That the notion that pre dossier

1:03:45.520 --> 1:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>there was already FBI surveillance of people tied to Trump.

1:03:50.880 --> 1:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't think everybody has all the facts

1:03:53.360 --> 1:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>in place. I did speak to Carter Page myself. I

1:03:56.600 --> 1:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>did ask him direct questions, particularly about information that came

1:04:01.320 --> 1:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>out with his meeting with the Russians, um very brief

1:04:04.720 --> 1:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>meeting that he said he had he uh adamantly denies.

1:04:08.840 --> 1:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>He said he was never paid by the Russians to

1:04:10.800 --> 1:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>give any advice, that when he did offer his advice,

1:04:13.440 --> 1:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>it was based mostly on his own fability as a

1:04:17.840 --> 1:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>professor to to to to try to teach them, uh

1:04:21.560 --> 1:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>and and kind of direct economic policies and things of

1:04:24.800 --> 1:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>that nature. As far as what he was teaching at

1:04:27.320 --> 1:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>n y U at the time. I think was really

1:04:29.560 --> 1:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>fascinating here is that Paige and Papadopulis. Remember the story

1:04:34.640 --> 1:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>on George Papadospelis didn't even come out until much later, actually,

1:04:38.480 --> 1:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the last this past December, when that story and that

1:04:41.840 --> 1:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>revelation came about, And that never had been a point

1:04:45.720 --> 1:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>of contention and never had been brought out in any

1:04:47.880 --> 1:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>news stories prior to the dossier. The dossier, in fact,

1:04:52.360 --> 1:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>was the main reason that the FBI, according to all

1:04:55.680 --> 1:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the sources I've spoken with, got the fight a warrant

1:04:59.000 --> 1:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to continue surveilling carter Page before that, according to carter

1:05:04.040 --> 1:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Page and according to others, he was more of a

1:05:06.800 --> 1:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>witness for the FBI. And I have talked to FBI

1:05:11.000 --> 1:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>sources who said that they had approached carter Page after

1:05:14.440 --> 1:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the meeting and really just wanted to utilize carter Page

1:05:18.000 --> 1:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in their investigation of the Russians. Well, that's a critical Sarah.

1:05:21.560 --> 1:05:23.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is a critical point because if he

1:05:23.480 --> 1:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>was working and I've seen this too from some people

1:05:25.960 --> 1:05:28.840
<v Speaker 1>tied into all this and the investigation, if carter Page

1:05:29.440 --> 1:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>was assisting the FBI in any way in advance of

1:05:33.800 --> 1:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the Fiser warrant. Then they can't turn around. They being

1:05:37.440 --> 1:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>people that are running with this story as a means

1:05:40.000 --> 1:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>of getting at the Trump administration, they can't run around

1:05:42.640 --> 1:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and say, oh, but he was already the he was

1:05:45.200 --> 1:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>already on the FBI's radar before the Fiser warrant. Because

1:05:48.640 --> 1:05:50.720
<v Speaker 1>if he's on the radar because he's helping them, that

1:05:50.880 --> 1:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>does not count. And that's exactly it. That's exactly the point,

1:05:55.960 --> 1:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and that's the point that I think a lot of

1:05:58.560 --> 1:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>people have been trying to make her. What was the

1:06:01.240 --> 1:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>rule Carter Page played in the FBI's investigation, And if

1:06:05.720 --> 1:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>he was a witness as that is, as it has

1:06:08.680 --> 1:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>been told by sources that I've spoken with, then it

1:06:11.640 --> 1:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>makes him very different than being the target which he

1:06:15.200 --> 1:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>later became when the Dartier came about. And remember the

1:06:19.480 --> 1:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Darcier's Christopher Steel put together was said in bits and

1:06:23.240 --> 1:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>pieces to the FBI. So we know and we have

1:06:26.760 --> 1:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>heard that the first time they went in for the

1:06:29.000 --> 1:06:31.640
<v Speaker 1>five to application they were denied, and it was the

1:06:31.760 --> 1:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>second time when they had more information. Apparently the dossier,

1:06:35.560 --> 1:06:39.280
<v Speaker 1>along with Michael Isakof's story in Yahoo Knews that the

1:06:39.400 --> 1:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>FISA was actually accepted, and they went through with their

1:06:43.000 --> 1:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>surveillance of carter page. Sarah, can we keep you, can

1:06:45.840 --> 1:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>we keep you through the break for one second, just

1:06:47.480 --> 1:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>to to ask you about the State Department angle on

1:06:49.520 --> 1:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>this in a second. Absolutely, guys, we're talking to Sarah Carter.

1:06:53.240 --> 1:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>You should be following her on social media for not already,

1:06:56.840 --> 1:06:59.160
<v Speaker 1>follow her on Twitter and Facebook. Her website is s

1:06:59.280 --> 1:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>A R A A A Carter dot com Sarah A.

1:07:02.560 --> 1:07:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Carter dot com and you see her on Fox News

1:07:04.880 --> 1:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>all the time. We're gonna be back in just a

1:07:06.960 --> 1:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>moment with more from Sarah. Stay with me, all right,

1:07:19.840 --> 1:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back everyone. We've got Sarah Carter on the line

1:07:22.760 --> 1:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>talking to her about the latest in Memo gate. I

1:07:25.760 --> 1:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>guess we don't really have a better term for yet,

1:07:27.600 --> 1:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Russia Gate. We just add gate onto anything of news

1:07:30.680 --> 1:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>interest these days, it seems. But Sarah, thanks for staying

1:07:33.480 --> 1:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>through the break with us. This is a this is

1:07:35.320 --> 1:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a big addition to this story. We don't often hear

1:07:38.120 --> 1:07:41.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of new and recently with the memo and

1:07:41.640 --> 1:07:44.919
<v Speaker 1>now this, there's some there's some pieces that are getting

1:07:44.920 --> 1:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>added into the puzzle here that are are meaningful and

1:07:48.080 --> 1:07:51.080
<v Speaker 1>that advanced our understanding of what really happened when it

1:07:51.120 --> 1:07:53.640
<v Speaker 1>comes to Russia Trump collusion. Tell me about how the

1:07:53.760 --> 1:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>State Department all of a sudden plays in this well,

1:07:57.200 --> 1:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I think this is the most fascinating heart book of

1:08:00.040 --> 1:08:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the entire saga here that all of a sudden, now

1:08:03.920 --> 1:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the State Department is involved in this memo and in

1:08:07.760 --> 1:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>and actually in the dossier itself that Christopher Steele was

1:08:10.760 --> 1:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>putting together. In the referral, the criminal referral that Chuck

1:08:15.640 --> 1:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Grassley along with Lindsay Graham gave to the d o J,

1:08:19.400 --> 1:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>they specifically state, specifically state that sources within the State

1:08:25.320 --> 1:08:31.519
<v Speaker 1>Department were feeding information to Christopher Steele, who then used

1:08:31.560 --> 1:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>that information in his dossier, which he fed to the FBI.

1:08:36.160 --> 1:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Those sources were friends of the Clintons. That's very important

1:08:41.320 --> 1:08:46.040
<v Speaker 1>because that changes pretty much everything. Although they said that

1:08:46.200 --> 1:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Steele got information from the Russians, this was an

1:08:50.040 --> 1:08:53.160
<v Speaker 1>added piece of information that Christopher Steele was held from

1:08:53.200 --> 1:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the FBI, and that's why the referral was made. He

1:08:56.920 --> 1:08:59.439
<v Speaker 1>did not inform the FBI that he was being fed

1:08:59.520 --> 1:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>information from people that were closely aligned with the Hillary

1:09:03.080 --> 1:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Clinton campaign. Now you go to the memo and you

1:09:05.880 --> 1:09:10.519
<v Speaker 1>say to yourself. Union specifically pointed out that Bruce Or

1:09:11.000 --> 1:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>in his four page memo that Bruce Or had told

1:09:14.160 --> 1:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>the FBI that Christopher Steele was intent on not seeing

1:09:18.760 --> 1:09:23.320
<v Speaker 1>President Trump elected. So now take a step back. He

1:09:23.560 --> 1:09:28.640
<v Speaker 1>is not just a former intelligence analyst collecting information that

1:09:28.760 --> 1:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>he found surprising and stunning. He had a former intelligence

1:09:34.000 --> 1:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>officer from the from Britain who was collecting information to

1:09:38.240 --> 1:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>harm President Trump. And this is why people are saying,

1:09:42.360 --> 1:09:44.439
<v Speaker 1>we need to look into this. We need to see

1:09:45.120 --> 1:09:48.719
<v Speaker 1>if our bife of courts and if our intelligence tools

1:09:48.760 --> 1:09:52.479
<v Speaker 1>were weaponized to go after a candidate. Was this being

1:09:52.600 --> 1:09:56.599
<v Speaker 1>used by the political opponent, by Hillary Clinton's campaign, members

1:09:56.680 --> 1:10:02.560
<v Speaker 1>of her camp, friends of hers to basically spread disinformation

1:10:02.600 --> 1:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>about President Trump in his campaign? I mean, this is incredible, Sarah.

1:10:06.120 --> 1:10:08.320
<v Speaker 1>If if what you're telling me, if what you're telling

1:10:08.360 --> 1:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>me is is born out with sourcing and reporting, now,

1:10:11.400 --> 1:10:13.439
<v Speaker 1>it would mean that there could have been When you

1:10:13.520 --> 1:10:15.439
<v Speaker 1>say State Department, I think this is an important You know,

1:10:15.479 --> 1:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>first of all, the State Department is a very I know,

1:10:18.479 --> 1:10:20.519
<v Speaker 1>I knew a lot of people at State. State is

1:10:20.640 --> 1:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>a left of center at a minimum organization. Overall, Yes,

1:10:24.920 --> 1:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>there are former ground pounding, awesome patriotic Marines that also

1:10:29.120 --> 1:10:31.519
<v Speaker 1>go and work at the State Department. But it's mostly

1:10:31.600 --> 1:10:35.440
<v Speaker 1>people that got master's degrees from Johns. Hopkins and Columbia's

1:10:35.800 --> 1:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>CPUs school, and and they are very left of center.

1:10:39.360 --> 1:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>So that's the overall ethos. But even putting aside whether

1:10:42.320 --> 1:10:44.559
<v Speaker 1>it was just some bureaucrats Sarah who wanted to get

1:10:44.680 --> 1:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>even with Trump or just didn't like Trump. And we

1:10:47.040 --> 1:10:49.839
<v Speaker 1>know there's been a lot oh the anti Trump sentiment

1:10:49.880 --> 1:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>coming out of Foggy Bottom for a while. It could

1:10:53.080 --> 1:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>be senior appointees, or it could have been senior appointees

1:10:56.760 --> 1:11:00.519
<v Speaker 1>of the Obama administration at State, people that had worked

1:11:00.640 --> 1:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>very closely with Hillary Clinton, which you Secretary of State.

1:11:04.479 --> 1:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>It could be those people passing information to Christopher Steele,

1:11:09.240 --> 1:11:12.599
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Steele presenting that to the FBI, And this would

1:11:12.640 --> 1:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>be a whole another channel for OPO research in essence

1:11:16.240 --> 1:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>getting handed to the FBI as though it was actual intelligence.

1:11:19.160 --> 1:11:22.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's stunning. It is stunning, And I mean

1:11:22.640 --> 1:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading directly right now from the Criminal Referral where

1:11:27.360 --> 1:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>they state explicitly it is troubly enough that the Clinton

1:11:31.200 --> 1:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>campaign funded Mr Steel's work, but that these Clinton associates

1:11:35.439 --> 1:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>were contemporaneously feeding Mr steele allegations raises additional concerns about

1:11:41.400 --> 1:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>his credibility. There is substantial evidence suggesting that Mr Steele

1:11:46.360 --> 1:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>materially misled the FBI about a key aspect of his

1:11:50.280 --> 1:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>dostier efforts, which on which bears on his credibility. This

1:11:56.120 --> 1:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>is so important because this opens up a whole new chapter.

1:12:00.400 --> 1:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>As you said, but in this dossier, and in Christopher

1:12:03.840 --> 1:12:08.519
<v Speaker 1>Steel's involvement with the dossier, and without this dossier, it

1:12:08.600 --> 1:12:10.560
<v Speaker 1>appears they would have never been able to gain a

1:12:10.640 --> 1:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>fight the warrant to conduct this investigation of Carter Page. Sarah,

1:12:15.240 --> 1:12:17.559
<v Speaker 1>We've been told now for a few days because as

1:12:17.720 --> 1:12:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a main part of the Democrat rebuttal, that there's other

1:12:21.120 --> 1:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>information than the dossier. I just want to know, are

1:12:25.040 --> 1:12:27.439
<v Speaker 1>you hearing from from your sources, from people in the

1:12:27.479 --> 1:12:31.040
<v Speaker 1>boat way who could affect change on this, that they're

1:12:31.040 --> 1:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>going to try and get that information out there too,

1:12:33.400 --> 1:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Because I think that the one of the biggest hits

1:12:37.400 --> 1:12:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the d o J took here was the pretense that

1:12:40.000 --> 1:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>this was national security sensitive information that we couldn't know about.

1:12:43.680 --> 1:12:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean that four page memo was important, but there

1:12:46.439 --> 1:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>was nothing that was endangering any sources, any methods, and

1:12:50.400 --> 1:12:53.479
<v Speaker 1>that they pretended that was the case is really harmful

1:12:53.520 --> 1:12:55.880
<v Speaker 1>to their credibility. Are we gonna be able to get

1:12:55.920 --> 1:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>more information you think out of them? I mean, if

1:12:57.920 --> 1:13:00.639
<v Speaker 1>there's other stuff, can we find out what that other

1:13:00.760 --> 1:13:04.200
<v Speaker 1>stuff is for the Fies Award or no? Well you

1:13:04.240 --> 1:13:06.920
<v Speaker 1>would think so. I mean, there's been so many leaks,

1:13:07.120 --> 1:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and the one leak that we haven't seen, the major

1:13:10.120 --> 1:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>League that is supposed to prove some type of Russia

1:13:14.160 --> 1:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>collusion with Trump, is that particular leak we still haven't

1:13:18.200 --> 1:13:20.880
<v Speaker 1>seen that. There has been no evidence to prove that

1:13:21.000 --> 1:13:24.479
<v Speaker 1>as of yet. Now, if there is other evidence that

1:13:24.600 --> 1:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>they used for the fight of warrant, I would like

1:13:26.960 --> 1:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to know what that was too, because I think that's

1:13:29.439 --> 1:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>essentially important. And maybe the ten page memo by the

1:13:31.960 --> 1:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Democrats we'll explain that. But so far we haven't heard

1:13:36.400 --> 1:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>anything in that realm. There's been no leaks which we

1:13:39.240 --> 1:13:43.160
<v Speaker 1>were expecting to contradict the new Nest memo on that part.

1:13:43.680 --> 1:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>So either they're holding it close hold or they just

1:13:45.960 --> 1:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>don't have it. Sarah, when can we expect your next piece?

1:13:49.160 --> 1:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>And I know it'll be up on Sarah E. Carter

1:13:51.439 --> 1:13:53.519
<v Speaker 1>dot com. But two, can you tell us when to

1:13:53.640 --> 1:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>expect it and maybe a little bit of what to

1:13:55.439 --> 1:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>expect or are we still working on that? Well, we

1:13:58.479 --> 1:14:01.880
<v Speaker 1>have a piece coming out today which is a story

1:14:01.920 --> 1:14:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I've been working on which deals with the referral and

1:14:04.960 --> 1:14:08.559
<v Speaker 1>the possible people involved in the Clinton campaign who were

1:14:08.640 --> 1:14:12.240
<v Speaker 1>feeding the British spy his information. Alright, everybody Sarah Carter

1:14:12.280 --> 1:14:14.439
<v Speaker 1>look for on Fox News, follower on social media and

1:14:14.520 --> 1:14:17.559
<v Speaker 1>check out her latest piece out today. Sarah, great work

1:14:17.640 --> 1:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>is always. Thank you so much for joining us. Hey,

1:14:20.479 --> 1:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>thank you, bet you too. Um, alright, seems so yeah,

1:14:26.280 --> 1:14:28.200
<v Speaker 1>there you have it. You know it looks Sarah has

1:14:28.280 --> 1:14:32.559
<v Speaker 1>been such a warrior for the truth on this whole issue.

1:14:33.120 --> 1:14:35.000
<v Speaker 1>And let me tell you, I've known Sarah for years.

1:14:35.080 --> 1:14:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I go back with Sarah at Lee six or seven

1:14:37.439 --> 1:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>years working with her back in the old real News

1:14:40.400 --> 1:14:42.680
<v Speaker 1>days and the Blaze, and she was a colleague of

1:14:42.760 --> 1:14:45.960
<v Speaker 1>mine at the Blaze for a while. And you know,

1:14:46.160 --> 1:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a lot harder to do the job when

1:14:49.320 --> 1:14:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the deep state and the establishment are against you and

1:14:53.560 --> 1:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>not feeding you information. And you know, it's it's a

1:14:56.040 --> 1:14:58.400
<v Speaker 1>very different thing, right For a lot of these so

1:14:58.560 --> 1:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>called national secure eddie analysts and reporters, particularly reporters at

1:15:02.920 --> 1:15:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the major papers, they're literally just they're they're spoon fed information,

1:15:07.200 --> 1:15:11.920
<v Speaker 1>sometimes classified information that the Democrat establishment wants out there,

1:15:11.960 --> 1:15:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and then they get to act like, oh, we're in

1:15:13.200 --> 1:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>trepid reporters. Sarah's finding stuff that people don't want her

1:15:16.040 --> 1:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to find out. So she's doing really, really great work

1:15:19.160 --> 1:15:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and I just wouldn't know that. I'm still stunned with

1:15:23.280 --> 1:15:26.599
<v Speaker 1>all this. There's so many people running around acting like, yeah,

1:15:26.680 --> 1:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, so what if they turn on a finds

1:15:29.040 --> 1:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>a warrant based on what we would call rument in

1:15:32.920 --> 1:15:36.160
<v Speaker 1>the intelligence community rumor intelligence, which is just a funny

1:15:36.160 --> 1:15:40.360
<v Speaker 1>way of saying not intelligence. You can just have somebody,

1:15:40.439 --> 1:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, think about this. Someone could get a referral

1:15:42.360 --> 1:15:44.240
<v Speaker 1>to the FBI started on me. So yeah, you know,

1:15:44.880 --> 1:15:48.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, my my, my cousin, My cousin knows this.

1:15:48.600 --> 1:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>This guy named Commy Bear, and he says that Bucky

1:15:51.520 --> 1:15:55.479
<v Speaker 1>is trying to run some special you know, Russia collusion effort.

1:15:55.640 --> 1:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>And you convince some of the FBI and and and

1:15:58.240 --> 1:15:59.519
<v Speaker 1>they can go to find as a quarters, I mean

1:15:59.520 --> 1:16:02.519
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. See right, look at what is the basis

1:16:02.600 --> 1:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>for all this? How can we take seriously any safeguards

1:16:07.640 --> 1:16:11.680
<v Speaker 1>when what's been exposed thus far is that you can

1:16:11.760 --> 1:16:14.439
<v Speaker 1>just if the FBI wants to believe you, or some

1:16:14.600 --> 1:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>people I shouldn't say the FBI, some people at the FBI,

1:16:17.200 --> 1:16:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the d o J want to believe you. They just

1:16:19.920 --> 1:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>make up all your stuff. You know, your phones, your emails,

1:16:22.960 --> 1:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and you're an American citizen, don't have to identify a

1:16:26.000 --> 1:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>crime that you're committing. It's crazy. Are we got a

1:16:28.760 --> 1:16:32.720
<v Speaker 1>big hour three coming up? Team? Uh? Eight four, eight

1:16:32.800 --> 1:16:35.800
<v Speaker 1>to five. We're gonna end the show with some life

1:16:35.800 --> 1:16:38.320
<v Speaker 1>philosophy that I think you'll find very useful, um and

1:16:38.560 --> 1:16:40.880
<v Speaker 1>very compelling, and we'll be back with that much more.

1:16:40.960 --> 1:16:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Stay with me other shows just talk at you in

1:16:54.720 --> 1:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the Freedom Hud. We have a mission. We fight for

1:16:58.040 --> 1:17:01.479
<v Speaker 1>the truth in a team effort and bucks back with

1:17:01.600 --> 1:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>our next play. When people are insecure and anxious, they

1:17:07.200 --> 1:17:14.639
<v Speaker 1>often um defend against their own feelings by rejecting others,

1:17:14.960 --> 1:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and that often happens with minorities, It happens with ethnic ethnicities, races, religions,

1:17:22.520 --> 1:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>and it also happens with respect to women. Um So,

1:17:25.720 --> 1:17:28.759
<v Speaker 1>any of you who have read my my book about

1:17:28.840 --> 1:17:32.559
<v Speaker 1>what happened, noo that I think that misogyny and sexism

1:17:32.680 --> 1:17:36.800
<v Speaker 1>was part of that campaign. Old fashioned sexism, uh and

1:17:37.280 --> 1:17:41.400
<v Speaker 1>a refusal to accept the equality of women. What happened

1:17:41.640 --> 1:17:46.120
<v Speaker 1>was sexism. There you get Hillary. Look, I'm willing to

1:17:46.200 --> 1:17:48.519
<v Speaker 1>drop the whole Hillary conversation if we don't have to

1:17:48.560 --> 1:17:51.800
<v Speaker 1>hear from Hillary anymore. But she's not dropping it. So

1:17:51.880 --> 1:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not dropping it right. I'm not gonna give Hillary

1:17:53.840 --> 1:17:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the last word, last word, because my ears are paying

1:17:57.920 --> 1:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the price for Hillaries presidence in the public sphere. But

1:18:02.080 --> 1:18:04.960
<v Speaker 1>you'll notice the same thing from her as you'll always hear, right,

1:18:05.000 --> 1:18:09.280
<v Speaker 1>You'll hear from her that you know it's about sexism.

1:18:09.360 --> 1:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I would note that it's a little bit galling for

1:18:11.920 --> 1:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>some of us to hear from Hillary Clinton that she

1:18:15.560 --> 1:18:21.160
<v Speaker 1>lost because of sexism in part, she said, in part

1:18:21.240 --> 1:18:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to be fair to the words, she is, but you know,

1:18:22.960 --> 1:18:25.519
<v Speaker 1>she lost in part because of sexism. When, as we

1:18:25.560 --> 1:18:27.640
<v Speaker 1>would say in the media business, or I think in

1:18:27.720 --> 1:18:29.600
<v Speaker 1>any business, I just this is the one I know

1:18:29.720 --> 1:18:33.639
<v Speaker 1>the best. Her unique selling proposition, so to speak, as

1:18:33.680 --> 1:18:35.840
<v Speaker 1>a candidate was that she was gonna be the first

1:18:35.880 --> 1:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>woman president. Right, Her campaign was I'm with her. It

1:18:40.120 --> 1:18:42.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't vote for me based on the merits, right, it

1:18:42.760 --> 1:18:45.400
<v Speaker 1>was it was she's the first woman president in the

1:18:45.520 --> 1:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>making new sexism. It's like, no, you know, if if

1:18:50.080 --> 1:18:54.720
<v Speaker 1>you would run a really compelling female candidate, she would win.

1:18:55.320 --> 1:18:57.600
<v Speaker 1>But Hillary is just not a compelling female candidate, as

1:18:57.680 --> 1:19:02.599
<v Speaker 1>we all know. She also has some other sexism based

1:19:02.760 --> 1:19:06.400
<v Speaker 1>advice to share with all of us. For women, they

1:19:06.439 --> 1:19:09.960
<v Speaker 1>will bear the brunt of looking for the food, looking

1:19:10.040 --> 1:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>for the firewood, looking for the place to migrate to

1:19:14.760 --> 1:19:18.920
<v Speaker 1>where your crops are no longer uh growing, they're burning

1:19:19.040 --> 1:19:22.960
<v Speaker 1>up in the intense heat that we're now seeing reported

1:19:23.560 --> 1:19:27.479
<v Speaker 1>across UH North Africa, into the Middle East and into India.

1:19:28.120 --> 1:19:32.400
<v Speaker 1>So yes, women once again will be the primary um

1:19:32.600 --> 1:19:37.640
<v Speaker 1>primarily burdened with the problems of climate change. Let me

1:19:37.720 --> 1:19:40.840
<v Speaker 1>just reiterate here what's being said there in this recent

1:19:40.920 --> 1:19:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Hillary speech. She's saying that climate change disproportionately affects women.

1:19:45.760 --> 1:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Climate change is sexist. Can you I want you to

1:19:49.840 --> 1:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>let that settle in a little bit there. That's right,

1:19:54.600 --> 1:19:57.600
<v Speaker 1>glory and putting aside for a moment whether or not

1:19:58.000 --> 1:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>climate change is something to be can certained about. It's real, everybody.

1:20:01.360 --> 1:20:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Climate change is real. It's just always been real. It

1:20:04.680 --> 1:20:09.200
<v Speaker 1>has always been real. It is insignificant to your life

1:20:09.240 --> 1:20:11.479
<v Speaker 1>and mind. It will be insignificant to our great great

1:20:11.520 --> 1:20:16.400
<v Speaker 1>great great grandchildren's lives. And we are naturally decarbonizing as

1:20:17.280 --> 1:20:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a human race. That has been occurring naturally via market

1:20:21.160 --> 1:20:24.439
<v Speaker 1>and technological forces for over a century now, for really

1:20:24.439 --> 1:20:27.560
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and fifty years. And I can take you

1:20:27.640 --> 1:20:29.439
<v Speaker 1>through that progression one day if you want, But it

1:20:29.520 --> 1:20:32.000
<v Speaker 1>is as clear as clear can be. And yet you

1:20:32.120 --> 1:20:35.599
<v Speaker 1>have the fearmongering, and you have Hillary who is trying

1:20:35.720 --> 1:20:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to capitalize on climate change as an issue of sexism.

1:20:42.080 --> 1:20:46.280
<v Speaker 1>This was almost our current president, folks, you would have

1:20:46.400 --> 1:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>been treated to one Hillary speech after another, but I

1:20:49.439 --> 1:20:53.200
<v Speaker 1>broke the glass ceiling. But it was unfair. You know,

1:20:53.360 --> 1:20:55.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't know which way you're going with Hillary. You

1:20:55.840 --> 1:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>just know that it's going to be self serving and dishonest.

1:20:59.360 --> 1:21:01.880
<v Speaker 1>And I have to note that not only you got

1:21:02.000 --> 1:21:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Hillary telling you that climate change is sexist, which I

1:21:07.200 --> 1:21:09.559
<v Speaker 1>don't even know how you could get makeup dumber stuff

1:21:09.560 --> 1:21:11.639
<v Speaker 1>than this. At this point, like they're actually getting beyond

1:21:12.479 --> 1:21:16.920
<v Speaker 1>my creative capabilities here for mockery. It is getting hard

1:21:17.640 --> 1:21:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to mock some of Hillary's self aggrandizement and self pity.

1:21:22.640 --> 1:21:25.759
<v Speaker 1>She does those two things simultaneously. She's amazing and should

1:21:25.760 --> 1:21:28.320
<v Speaker 1>be president. Oh woe is me? It's so sad. I'm

1:21:28.320 --> 1:21:30.559
<v Speaker 1>a woman. They wouldn't let me be president, right, It's

1:21:31.240 --> 1:21:34.519
<v Speaker 1>it's a pretty astonishing combination. But it's very real with Hillary.

1:21:34.920 --> 1:21:37.200
<v Speaker 1>But I would not that, you know, her whole sexism

1:21:37.320 --> 1:21:40.280
<v Speaker 1>is going to affect women things seems more than men,

1:21:40.720 --> 1:21:43.120
<v Speaker 1>which by the men men need look, you know, without

1:21:43.120 --> 1:21:46.080
<v Speaker 1>getting into the sexist and debate, men need food and

1:21:46.479 --> 1:21:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and dry land and would for fires as well. I

1:21:50.000 --> 1:21:52.599
<v Speaker 1>don't know why women are going to be the ones

1:21:52.640 --> 1:21:58.200
<v Speaker 1>who are disproportionately affected by this. I do not understand anyway.

1:21:58.600 --> 1:22:02.240
<v Speaker 1>There there was also a piece of the Weekend And

1:22:02.720 --> 1:22:04.280
<v Speaker 1>you can't make this stuff up, folks. I mean, this

1:22:04.400 --> 1:22:07.960
<v Speaker 1>is going beyond parody. This was printed in the New

1:22:08.040 --> 1:22:12.000
<v Speaker 1>York Times. No children because of climate change? Some people

1:22:12.040 --> 1:22:15.719
<v Speaker 1>are considering it. This is what the piece says. Add

1:22:15.800 --> 1:22:18.240
<v Speaker 1>this to the list of decisions affected by climate change?

1:22:18.760 --> 1:22:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Should I have children? It is not an easy time

1:22:21.920 --> 1:22:24.880
<v Speaker 1>for people to whold to feel hopeful, with the effects

1:22:24.920 --> 1:22:29.880
<v Speaker 1>of global warming no longer theoretical projections becoming more dire,

1:22:30.240 --> 1:22:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and governmental action lagging. And while few, if any studies

1:22:34.439 --> 1:22:37.799
<v Speaker 1>have examined how large a climate change a role climate

1:22:37.880 --> 1:22:41.720
<v Speaker 1>change plays and people's childbearing decisions, it loomed large in

1:22:41.800 --> 1:22:44.240
<v Speaker 1>interviews with more than a dozen people ages eighteen to

1:22:44.360 --> 1:22:52.560
<v Speaker 1>forty three. Uh, okay, twelve people. It's not exactly a

1:22:53.520 --> 1:22:58.240
<v Speaker 1>a fantastic indicator of anything, right, I mean do they

1:22:58.280 --> 1:23:01.519
<v Speaker 1>sit down and ask twelve people? Oh even if you

1:23:01.600 --> 1:23:05.559
<v Speaker 1>if you ask twelve people in you know, Red Hook,

1:23:05.640 --> 1:23:08.519
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn what they think about climate change, then you're gonna

1:23:08.560 --> 1:23:10.719
<v Speaker 1>get a very different answer than if you ask people

1:23:11.160 --> 1:23:15.240
<v Speaker 1>from uh, you know, the Midwest. In this case, I

1:23:15.280 --> 1:23:19.800
<v Speaker 1>think they're asking people in Hyderabad in India. Anyway, that

1:23:20.120 --> 1:23:22.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really matter. I mean you could ask people. Twelve

1:23:22.200 --> 1:23:25.200
<v Speaker 1>people is not enough? Is not enough to get a

1:23:25.280 --> 1:23:29.680
<v Speaker 1>sense of anything. Um, but this is crazy, folks, This

1:23:29.840 --> 1:23:31.880
<v Speaker 1>is craziness. I mean when I say crazy, I don't

1:23:31.880 --> 1:23:36.280
<v Speaker 1>mean like, oh it's crazy, I mean actually disconnected from reality.

1:23:36.600 --> 1:23:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Need help, like need to seek some form of assistance

1:23:40.200 --> 1:23:42.479
<v Speaker 1>and therapy to cope with the anxieties of day to

1:23:42.600 --> 1:23:46.080
<v Speaker 1>day life. I promise you, folks, your kids and my

1:23:46.240 --> 1:23:50.320
<v Speaker 1>kids are not gonna be having wars in some mad

1:23:50.439 --> 1:23:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Max like dystopia where they're, you know, trying to knock

1:23:54.880 --> 1:23:58.400
<v Speaker 1>each other off of homemade dinghies or something. I mean,

1:23:58.479 --> 1:24:00.479
<v Speaker 1>that's not That's not the way they is gonna go.

1:24:01.520 --> 1:24:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I assure you that is not the truth. And yet

1:24:05.360 --> 1:24:08.880
<v Speaker 1>here we are um the quote that they used, by

1:24:08.920 --> 1:24:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the way, in this piece. When The New York Times

1:24:11.520 --> 1:24:14.400
<v Speaker 1>tweeted this out, the quote was quote, I don't want

1:24:14.400 --> 1:24:17.439
<v Speaker 1>to give birth to a kid wondering if it's going

1:24:17.560 --> 1:24:20.599
<v Speaker 1>to live in some kind of mad Max dystopia. End quote.

1:24:21.520 --> 1:24:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Now this is where I get into a more serious

1:24:24.080 --> 1:24:26.120
<v Speaker 1>frame of mind for a second. Here, I spoke to

1:24:26.160 --> 1:24:29.120
<v Speaker 1>you last week about the left war on life and

1:24:29.200 --> 1:24:31.400
<v Speaker 1>on the unborn, as as as serious an issue as

1:24:31.439 --> 1:24:34.599
<v Speaker 1>there exists for me, but in a in an even

1:24:34.720 --> 1:24:43.599
<v Speaker 1>broader sense, the left adopts this nihilistic, almost earth worship position.

1:24:44.240 --> 1:24:46.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's not new right if you go back in

1:24:46.320 --> 1:24:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the past, scientists, Thomas Malthus, for those who are wondering

1:24:49.880 --> 1:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>about when you could even look up mouthis thought, we're

1:24:51.800 --> 1:24:55.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna run out of food and it's more complicated than that.

1:24:55.240 --> 1:24:57.400
<v Speaker 1>He was a social scientist and wrote extensively, but the

1:24:57.520 --> 1:25:01.200
<v Speaker 1>basic idea was human population is ressing at x, food

1:25:01.280 --> 1:25:04.800
<v Speaker 1>production progresses at why we are going to have starvation

1:25:04.920 --> 1:25:09.160
<v Speaker 1>that affects a large portion of the of the global population. Well, mouth,

1:25:09.240 --> 1:25:12.639
<v Speaker 1>this was wrong, totally totally wrong. Why because he could

1:25:12.680 --> 1:25:16.120
<v Speaker 1>not foresee technological advances, just like the climate change folks.

1:25:16.479 --> 1:25:19.840
<v Speaker 1>As we sit here and liquefied natural gas is soon

1:25:19.960 --> 1:25:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to overtake oil and coal as the primary fossil fuels,

1:25:24.000 --> 1:25:26.160
<v Speaker 1>which is much cleaner in terms of carbon burning than

1:25:26.240 --> 1:25:31.680
<v Speaker 1>those two and very abundant. Uh, they can't predict technological

1:25:31.880 --> 1:25:37.280
<v Speaker 1>innovation either. But there is at the root of liberalism

1:25:37.840 --> 1:25:42.479
<v Speaker 1>and leftism a kind of nihilistic atheism that, you know,

1:25:42.840 --> 1:25:47.680
<v Speaker 1>we need to prevent more life from happening. We need

1:25:47.760 --> 1:25:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to stop. We are the last of life. And it's

1:25:50.240 --> 1:25:52.960
<v Speaker 1>also a solop sism. It's it's a an obsession with

1:25:53.040 --> 1:25:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the self. Our children are not going to all drown

1:25:56.479 --> 1:25:58.880
<v Speaker 1>because of climate change. We should all be having as

1:25:58.920 --> 1:26:01.840
<v Speaker 1>many kids as we choose to. We should go forth

1:26:01.960 --> 1:26:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and multiply my friends. As you well know that the

1:26:04.840 --> 1:26:07.599
<v Speaker 1>New York Times would print something so dumb, so insane,

1:26:07.640 --> 1:26:09.640
<v Speaker 1>and that Hillary Clinton has her own version of it

1:26:09.920 --> 1:26:25.200
<v Speaker 1>tells us a lot about where the Democrats are only no, no, no, no, no, no,

1:26:27.000 --> 1:27:00.400
<v Speaker 1>thank god, oh my god, my god. Yes, have two

1:27:00.479 --> 1:27:06.439
<v Speaker 1>different reactions till the Philadelphia Eagles, which, as I understand it,

1:27:07.280 --> 1:27:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia locals say Eagles right. There's some way that they

1:27:10.840 --> 1:27:12.880
<v Speaker 1>say it that I don't. Yeah, you're Mike's a super

1:27:12.960 --> 1:27:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Eagles fan, So how do they it Eagles right? They

1:27:15.479 --> 1:27:17.320
<v Speaker 1>have a weird the Philly accent. They have a weird

1:27:17.360 --> 1:27:19.120
<v Speaker 1>way of saying it right. Or am I wrong here?

1:27:21.160 --> 1:27:23.600
<v Speaker 1>You say Eagles? Okay, you're blowing up my spot right now.

1:27:23.720 --> 1:27:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I my college roommate is a Philly born and raised,

1:27:27.360 --> 1:27:30.519
<v Speaker 1>super Philly fan of all sports, and he would always

1:27:30.520 --> 1:27:32.479
<v Speaker 1>say that if you're on like maybe it's the South

1:27:32.560 --> 1:27:35.960
<v Speaker 1>side of Philly or the there's like a it Eagles.

1:27:36.439 --> 1:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's kind of like you go to Baltimore.

1:27:38.080 --> 1:27:41.120
<v Speaker 1>People sound like people sound, but there's some people who've

1:27:41.120 --> 1:27:43.720
<v Speaker 1>got a super funky Baltimore accent. You could tell me

1:27:43.760 --> 1:27:47.040
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing in Philadelphia. Come on, absolutely, we get the

1:27:47.120 --> 1:27:49.679
<v Speaker 1>yo and there yo Eagles, all right, Yo Eagles. Maybe

1:27:49.720 --> 1:27:52.280
<v Speaker 1>that's been a little more like Rocky Balboa. Then alright, fine, anyway,

1:27:52.320 --> 1:27:55.640
<v Speaker 1>point here being the Eagles one, as you all know,

1:27:56.120 --> 1:27:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's great. I watched the I watched the Super Bowl.

1:27:58.720 --> 1:28:04.160
<v Speaker 1>In that montage, we need a montage, the opening montage

1:28:04.200 --> 1:28:07.920
<v Speaker 1>there we had Kobe Bryant, who was from Philadelphia, one

1:28:07.960 --> 1:28:11.439
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest basketball players of all time. He was

1:28:11.800 --> 1:28:14.040
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram freaking out and that sort of and I

1:28:14.120 --> 1:28:15.760
<v Speaker 1>think he's with family, right, you could hear kids there

1:28:15.800 --> 1:28:18.080
<v Speaker 1>or something. He was, yeah, yeah, with his wife and child.

1:28:18.360 --> 1:28:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Wife and child. So you know, that's exactly we like

1:28:20.479 --> 1:28:23.920
<v Speaker 1>to see people. It's a great story. Happy for the Eagles,

1:28:24.200 --> 1:28:27.519
<v Speaker 1>half of the city of Philadelphia. In fact, I almost

1:28:27.520 --> 1:28:30.479
<v Speaker 1>moved to Philadelphia some years ago to go to business school.

1:28:30.640 --> 1:28:34.160
<v Speaker 1>It's a whole other story for another time. But the

1:28:34.920 --> 1:28:36.600
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles one, and that's great. But then in the

1:28:36.640 --> 1:28:38.120
<v Speaker 1>other part you may have been like, what is this

1:28:38.240 --> 1:28:40.840
<v Speaker 1>noise I'm hearing? That was one of the riots that

1:28:41.040 --> 1:28:43.640
<v Speaker 1>was going on, or maybe you could call it, if

1:28:43.680 --> 1:28:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to be a little bit more generous, a

1:28:46.760 --> 1:28:50.439
<v Speaker 1>Ruckus celebration. But they did flip a car over. I

1:28:50.520 --> 1:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>saw that they looted a store yelling everything is free,

1:28:54.960 --> 1:29:01.120
<v Speaker 1>and I just don't understand. I don't get it, and

1:29:01.240 --> 1:29:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not picking. Look, this is also where it is

1:29:04.360 --> 1:29:08.519
<v Speaker 1>legitimate and necessary to say this is one percent or

1:29:08.600 --> 1:29:11.040
<v Speaker 1>less than one percent of overall Eagles fans, the whole

1:29:11.080 --> 1:29:14.839
<v Speaker 1>country outside of New England, based on the social media

1:29:16.520 --> 1:29:19.080
<v Speaker 1>proclivities that were shared for the Super Bowl, the whole

1:29:19.080 --> 1:29:22.480
<v Speaker 1>country outside of outside of New England, and actually Montana,

1:29:22.920 --> 1:29:25.080
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, I saw on Twitter Montana was

1:29:26.600 --> 1:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>overall going for the Patriots. But people are rooting for them,

1:29:31.080 --> 1:29:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and I know this is a very small group, and

1:29:33.080 --> 1:29:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm just happy for Philadelphia. It's great. They're gonna have

1:29:35.240 --> 1:29:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun now, big parade. Last night they

1:29:37.200 --> 1:29:39.160
<v Speaker 1>were partying. I watched the whole thing. I thought it

1:29:39.200 --> 1:29:41.240
<v Speaker 1>was a great game. Some people were complaining there wasn't

1:29:41.320 --> 1:29:44.519
<v Speaker 1>enough defense. I think that a football game that ends

1:29:44.600 --> 1:29:48.439
<v Speaker 1>up nine three after four quarters is like the worst

1:29:48.479 --> 1:29:51.519
<v Speaker 1>possible thing, So there are some amazing catches. I thought

1:29:51.560 --> 1:29:53.360
<v Speaker 1>it was great, so I enjoyed watching and I watched

1:29:53.360 --> 1:29:56.240
<v Speaker 1>it with Ms Molly and my two brothers and one

1:29:56.280 --> 1:29:59.720
<v Speaker 1>of my brother's girlfriends, and we ate a lot of nachos,

1:30:00.479 --> 1:30:02.559
<v Speaker 1>which I will tell you nachos are good for all

1:30:02.640 --> 1:30:05.599
<v Speaker 1>three meals. The next day. You can, in fact, reheat

1:30:05.680 --> 1:30:09.120
<v Speaker 1>nachos in the microwave the next day for any meal,

1:30:09.920 --> 1:30:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and they taste pretty much just as good as they

1:30:12.240 --> 1:30:14.880
<v Speaker 1>did the day before, and they work for any meal.

1:30:15.479 --> 1:30:18.040
<v Speaker 1>In that regard, nachos are like the bacon of the

1:30:18.160 --> 1:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>chip world. They are utility players. You can get your

1:30:21.920 --> 1:30:25.840
<v Speaker 1>nachos going for anything you need. But you know, there's

1:30:25.840 --> 1:30:29.760
<v Speaker 1>the Kobe Bryant celebration versus the celebration we saw on

1:30:29.760 --> 1:30:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the streets. And look, it's Kobe's just a you know,

1:30:33.720 --> 1:30:37.280
<v Speaker 1>he's a native Philadelphian um and so he gets very excited.

1:30:37.400 --> 1:30:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Or the Eagles have never won a Super Bowl before.

1:30:39.920 --> 1:30:42.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a great story and and people should have fun

1:30:42.200 --> 1:30:43.960
<v Speaker 1>with it and celebrate. Now. I love it here. We're

1:30:43.960 --> 1:30:45.599
<v Speaker 1>all like, wow, it was a great game last night.

1:30:46.000 --> 1:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>But onto the riot side of it. I'm not gonna

1:30:47.800 --> 1:30:51.519
<v Speaker 1>spend much time on this because come on, it's not

1:30:51.680 --> 1:30:53.679
<v Speaker 1>that not that many people that were doing this, although

1:30:53.720 --> 1:30:55.840
<v Speaker 1>there were like tens of thousands taking to the streets.

1:30:55.880 --> 1:30:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I did see that, But there's a difference. You're taken

1:30:58.040 --> 1:31:00.960
<v Speaker 1>to the street and cheering and lipping cars over and

1:31:01.080 --> 1:31:04.479
<v Speaker 1>stealing from a seven eleven or a CBS or whatever

1:31:04.560 --> 1:31:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that was in the videos that people saw there. But

1:31:07.240 --> 1:31:09.439
<v Speaker 1>I would just note that this is by no means

1:31:09.720 --> 1:31:14.759
<v Speaker 1>limited to the Super Bowl two Eagles fans too, although

1:31:14.800 --> 1:31:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I do believe there is actually a courtroom in the

1:31:17.160 --> 1:31:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Eagles stadium in the basement to adjudicate. Yes, Mike, Mike,

1:31:21.920 --> 1:31:24.000
<v Speaker 1>we got a Super Eagles fan here in studio everybody,

1:31:24.439 --> 1:31:28.040
<v Speaker 1>so they they are ready, They're ready to deal with

1:31:28.160 --> 1:31:32.880
<v Speaker 1>whatever comes their way with Eagles fans. But the truth

1:31:33.320 --> 1:31:39.120
<v Speaker 1>of the whole situation with rioting or the postgame celebrations

1:31:39.200 --> 1:31:43.840
<v Speaker 1>that extend beyond what I think is uh is necessary

1:31:43.920 --> 1:31:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and reasonable, is that I've seen it elsewhere too. When

1:31:47.760 --> 1:31:50.439
<v Speaker 1>I was at a little tiny Amherst College, which is

1:31:50.560 --> 1:31:53.519
<v Speaker 1>right down the street from the University of Massachusetts. You

1:31:53.720 --> 1:31:57.360
<v Speaker 1>mass Amherst, which always and I don't get into this stuff,

1:31:57.520 --> 1:32:00.479
<v Speaker 1>this this pettiness, but people always do the whole you know,

1:32:01.600 --> 1:32:03.200
<v Speaker 1>did you go to did you go to Amherst? I

1:32:03.280 --> 1:32:06.120
<v Speaker 1>went to Amherst, And you say, well, if you went

1:32:06.200 --> 1:32:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to Amherst College, you don't pronounce the age. But if

1:32:10.040 --> 1:32:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you go to Amherst, you mass or you mask Amherst.

1:32:14.000 --> 1:32:15.560
<v Speaker 1>There's a different way of people saying it. I know

1:32:15.640 --> 1:32:18.280
<v Speaker 1>this is all very this is all school rivalry stuff.

1:32:18.320 --> 1:32:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't go there. I don't get into it. But

1:32:20.520 --> 1:32:22.880
<v Speaker 1>you mass had like fifteen or twenty thousand students, so

1:32:23.000 --> 1:32:25.240
<v Speaker 1>that was a pretty big school. And when the Patriots

1:32:26.000 --> 1:32:28.280
<v Speaker 1>would win or when they would lose, depending on the game,

1:32:28.840 --> 1:32:32.160
<v Speaker 1>sometimes they would have to bring in like riot police

1:32:32.200 --> 1:32:34.519
<v Speaker 1>basically with tear gas to break up whatever was going

1:32:34.560 --> 1:32:37.440
<v Speaker 1>on in the streets, which when you're in central Massachusetts,

1:32:37.560 --> 1:32:41.639
<v Speaker 1>not in any city you're you're bound to notice when

1:32:41.680 --> 1:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden there's there's like tear gas or

1:32:44.000 --> 1:32:47.680
<v Speaker 1>pepper spray being deployed in large, large quantities at a

1:32:47.920 --> 1:32:52.640
<v Speaker 1>college gathering. So this is by no means new. This

1:32:52.880 --> 1:32:55.559
<v Speaker 1>is not something that we have not seen elsewhere and before.

1:32:56.240 --> 1:32:59.400
<v Speaker 1>And the Washington Post actually did an analysis of this quote.

1:32:59.479 --> 1:33:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Why do ends feel so strongly about their teams. We're

1:33:03.240 --> 1:33:06.599
<v Speaker 1>social creatures. We have a need to belong said Daniel Juan,

1:33:06.840 --> 1:33:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a psychology professor at Murray State University. People often split

1:33:10.920 --> 1:33:15.559
<v Speaker 1>themselves into categories based on occupation, ethnicity, gender, or other factors.

1:33:16.160 --> 1:33:20.360
<v Speaker 1>That sense of belonging belonging can often be beneficial. In

1:33:20.439 --> 1:33:23.720
<v Speaker 1>studies on college students, Juan has found that fans who

1:33:23.760 --> 1:33:26.920
<v Speaker 1>identify strongly with a team are often less likely to

1:33:26.960 --> 1:33:30.920
<v Speaker 1>feel lonely or alienated and have higher self esteem. But

1:33:31.040 --> 1:33:33.600
<v Speaker 1>then they go what happens in fans brains after a

1:33:33.640 --> 1:33:37.639
<v Speaker 1>win or loss. Because of that strong identification. For ardent fans,

1:33:37.760 --> 1:33:40.560
<v Speaker 1>the team becomes an extension of the fan, and that

1:33:40.720 --> 1:33:46.639
<v Speaker 1>can have profound effects on people's psychology and even physiology. Yeah,

1:33:47.560 --> 1:33:49.880
<v Speaker 1>so there's that, and then they go one more step here,

1:33:50.160 --> 1:33:53.479
<v Speaker 1>So where does the urge for violence come from? Most

1:33:53.560 --> 1:33:56.000
<v Speaker 1>agree the mob mentality has a lot to do with it,

1:33:56.400 --> 1:34:00.719
<v Speaker 1>and study after study psychologists have shown people often behave

1:34:00.840 --> 1:34:05.320
<v Speaker 1>differently in big crowds. Yeah, so thanks Washington Post for

1:34:05.360 --> 1:34:07.800
<v Speaker 1>telling us all what we already know. People can act

1:34:07.880 --> 1:34:11.920
<v Speaker 1>like idiots in big crowds. And the best study of

1:34:12.000 --> 1:34:16.160
<v Speaker 1>this is actually Gustave Le bon l E and then

1:34:16.240 --> 1:34:19.479
<v Speaker 1>b o n The Crowd, a study of the popular mind,

1:34:19.800 --> 1:34:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's it is a a philosophical and I guess

1:34:26.120 --> 1:34:29.559
<v Speaker 1>somewhat scientifical. It's really just based on philosophy, but it's

1:34:29.560 --> 1:34:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a philosophy philosophy, philosophical deep dive into the um. It's

1:34:37.280 --> 1:34:40.439
<v Speaker 1>a philosophical deep dive into why a crowd acts the

1:34:40.479 --> 1:34:44.360
<v Speaker 1>way that it does and how it how it functions,

1:34:44.560 --> 1:34:46.920
<v Speaker 1>why it thinks in the manner that it does, and

1:34:46.960 --> 1:34:50.000
<v Speaker 1>everything else. So if you're looking for a version of

1:34:50.439 --> 1:34:54.559
<v Speaker 1>and this is from a hundred hundred gosh, I forget

1:34:54.560 --> 1:34:56.600
<v Speaker 1>how many years Gustave le Bon is nineteenth century, I

1:34:56.680 --> 1:35:01.200
<v Speaker 1>think I forget one exactly. Um, But the truth is

1:35:02.000 --> 1:35:06.240
<v Speaker 1>that Gustav le Bon is the best version of this

1:35:06.400 --> 1:35:08.840
<v Speaker 1>that I've ever read. So that will explain why people

1:35:08.880 --> 1:35:11.719
<v Speaker 1>flip cars over and light things on fire after sporting events.

1:35:12.160 --> 1:35:13.960
<v Speaker 1>And maybe another time we'll do a deep dive into

1:35:14.040 --> 1:35:17.639
<v Speaker 1>the mob mentality. But congrats to the Congrats to the Eagles.

1:35:17.960 --> 1:35:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm very happy for them. First time ever, right, first

1:35:21.040 --> 1:35:23.760
<v Speaker 1>time they've ever won. Which it's interesting because they've been

1:35:23.760 --> 1:35:26.640
<v Speaker 1>a good franchise for a long time. I remember, you know,

1:35:26.720 --> 1:35:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Eagles have been competitors, you know they've done well. As

1:35:29.960 --> 1:35:34.160
<v Speaker 1>a by family Giants fan, so I was forced to be.

1:35:34.240 --> 1:35:36.720
<v Speaker 1>There was no question. It was like you're going to

1:35:36.800 --> 1:35:38.880
<v Speaker 1>be raised Roman Catholic, you're also going to be a

1:35:39.000 --> 1:35:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Giants fan. Um. The Eagles have a certain you know,

1:35:44.120 --> 1:35:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the other side feeling for me, but I'm very happy

1:35:46.840 --> 1:35:49.240
<v Speaker 1>for them. Nonetheless, I'm very happy that Eagles came away

1:35:49.320 --> 1:35:52.280
<v Speaker 1>with the w and it was a great game. The

1:35:52.760 --> 1:35:54.840
<v Speaker 1>worst part of the whole thing was the halftime show.

1:35:55.000 --> 1:35:58.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what anybody says, that guy justin Timberlake

1:35:58.960 --> 1:36:02.719
<v Speaker 1>is talented, but his music does not match his overall talent.

1:36:03.360 --> 1:36:05.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm glad that there's somebody that can provide

1:36:06.000 --> 1:36:09.519
<v Speaker 1>the soundtrack for exotic dancers for the foreseeable future. But

1:36:09.680 --> 1:36:12.320
<v Speaker 1>that's about the most you can expect from timber Lakes music,

1:36:12.600 --> 1:36:15.080
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion. And with that, we will go into

1:36:15.760 --> 1:36:17.320
<v Speaker 1>some other thoughts on the side of the breaks the

1:36:23.800 --> 1:36:28.120
<v Speaker 1>next segment after this one. It's gonna be a little sad,

1:36:28.760 --> 1:36:33.680
<v Speaker 1>but also inspiring and I think really worthwhile. I'll need

1:36:33.760 --> 1:36:36.400
<v Speaker 1>you to stay with me until the end of the

1:36:36.479 --> 1:36:39.439
<v Speaker 1>show to get into it, and I will also tell

1:36:39.479 --> 1:36:42.680
<v Speaker 1>you that won't be an easy one for me to do.

1:36:43.080 --> 1:36:48.679
<v Speaker 1>It's nothing about me. It's stories and advice from some others.

1:36:49.200 --> 1:36:52.680
<v Speaker 1>But it really stuck with me and I've read through

1:36:52.760 --> 1:36:56.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not long. I've read through it a number of times,

1:36:56.280 --> 1:37:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and I think there's tremendous wisdom in it, and uh,

1:37:00.439 --> 1:37:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I may get a little choked up during it, so

1:37:04.479 --> 1:37:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I just would advise that that may happen. I am

1:37:10.000 --> 1:37:20.000
<v Speaker 1>sometimes a bit sentimental or dare I even say, I

1:37:20.400 --> 1:37:23.759
<v Speaker 1>am sensitive to certain things, and I think you'll understand

1:37:23.800 --> 1:37:25.800
<v Speaker 1>why in the next segment. Like I said, nothing that

1:37:25.920 --> 1:37:28.920
<v Speaker 1>this has nothing to do with me or or my life.

1:37:29.520 --> 1:37:33.559
<v Speaker 1>It's it's the lives of others that I can draw

1:37:33.680 --> 1:37:37.719
<v Speaker 1>some real wisdom from. And I think it's a powerful segment.

1:37:37.880 --> 1:37:40.200
<v Speaker 1>So I hope you will stay through for it, and

1:37:40.920 --> 1:37:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I won't get into more detail than that. But before that,

1:37:45.360 --> 1:37:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to have a little bit of fun with you,

1:37:47.760 --> 1:37:51.000
<v Speaker 1>which is why I figured we could address the question

1:37:51.680 --> 1:37:56.320
<v Speaker 1>that feels very apropos for the Freedom Hunt, just out

1:37:56.479 --> 1:38:01.040
<v Speaker 1>of curiosity. I really it wasn't rolling, because I'm not

1:38:01.080 --> 1:38:04.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to antagonize anyone, but I was. I was chumming

1:38:04.439 --> 1:38:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the waters with this one a little bit. I on

1:38:08.320 --> 1:38:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Sunday during the I think it was during the super Bowl, actually,

1:38:12.240 --> 1:38:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I asked or I was right before the Super Bowl.

1:38:14.800 --> 1:38:18.559
<v Speaker 1>I asked the following question on Twitter. Can a movie

1:38:19.479 --> 1:38:24.040
<v Speaker 1>be placed in the action genre if it takes place

1:38:24.960 --> 1:38:29.519
<v Speaker 1>in a pre Gunpowder era. Now this is not to

1:38:29.560 --> 1:38:32.080
<v Speaker 1>say that a movie or the question is not can

1:38:32.200 --> 1:38:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a movie have or or not have action if it

1:38:36.400 --> 1:38:39.519
<v Speaker 1>is pre Gunpowder? But I just meant in terms of

1:38:40.280 --> 1:38:43.479
<v Speaker 1>the genre, which is something that's come up on this show,

1:38:43.680 --> 1:38:47.639
<v Speaker 1>for example, action is it's a kind of arbitrary genre,

1:38:47.760 --> 1:38:49.760
<v Speaker 1>but you know, you know when you see it. And

1:38:49.880 --> 1:38:52.000
<v Speaker 1>those of you like me who spent way too much

1:38:52.200 --> 1:38:57.560
<v Speaker 1>of your childhood literally wandering around movie rental stores, it

1:38:57.720 --> 1:39:00.320
<v Speaker 1>was great. Man. I used to just wander around sound

1:39:00.400 --> 1:39:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and check out all the different empty boxes of VHS

1:39:04.000 --> 1:39:06.640
<v Speaker 1>tapes and see what was there. I used to love it.

1:39:06.680 --> 1:39:08.040
<v Speaker 1>It was a great thing. My mom would let me

1:39:08.080 --> 1:39:10.640
<v Speaker 1>do it while she was getting groceries. You know. My

1:39:10.680 --> 1:39:12.960
<v Speaker 1>older brother and I could go wander into the little

1:39:13.040 --> 1:39:16.000
<v Speaker 1>video store next door. Talk about a business that doesn't

1:39:16.000 --> 1:39:19.000
<v Speaker 1>really exist anymore. Their video rental stores everywhere when I

1:39:19.120 --> 1:39:22.439
<v Speaker 1>was an early teenager, and then Blockbuster kind of took over.

1:39:23.680 --> 1:39:26.599
<v Speaker 1>But action was a genre. What I say to people though,

1:39:26.760 --> 1:39:30.800
<v Speaker 1>is Westerns can have a lot of action, but Westerns

1:39:31.000 --> 1:39:35.040
<v Speaker 1>are their own genre. So all those Clint Eastwood movies

1:39:35.080 --> 1:39:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that people call in during action movie quote Friday and

1:39:38.600 --> 1:39:40.400
<v Speaker 1>say hey, and they gave me a quote from it.

1:39:40.840 --> 1:39:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's really action. I think it's a Western.

1:39:43.080 --> 1:39:46.040
<v Speaker 1>It can have action in it, but that's not the

1:39:46.120 --> 1:39:49.200
<v Speaker 1>same as falling in the genre of action. And with

1:39:49.479 --> 1:39:54.400
<v Speaker 1>pre Gunpowder, I know that seems like a somewhat arbitrary separation,

1:39:54.600 --> 1:39:58.160
<v Speaker 1>But in the pre Gunpowder era, I think you could

1:39:58.200 --> 1:40:01.760
<v Speaker 1>make a case that some of the great movies are

1:40:02.520 --> 1:40:08.680
<v Speaker 1>historical epics or are historical drama, you know. But but

1:40:08.800 --> 1:40:12.439
<v Speaker 1>then there's some crossover into other into other genres too.

1:40:12.600 --> 1:40:16.120
<v Speaker 1>And I knew I asked this question and from the

1:40:16.200 --> 1:40:18.680
<v Speaker 1>team and from others I was going to get I

1:40:18.800 --> 1:40:20.120
<v Speaker 1>was going to get a bit of a pile on,

1:40:20.560 --> 1:40:23.639
<v Speaker 1>and I did. I did. So. The question is can

1:40:23.720 --> 1:40:27.280
<v Speaker 1>a movie be placed in the action genre if it

1:40:27.360 --> 1:40:30.760
<v Speaker 1>takes place in a pre Gunpowder era, and a lot

1:40:30.800 --> 1:40:33.439
<v Speaker 1>of your like, yes, it can, buck And that is

1:40:33.479 --> 1:40:36.720
<v Speaker 1>what came across here. The big the big ones that

1:40:36.880 --> 1:40:40.639
<v Speaker 1>I have to agree are the ones that generally speaking,

1:40:40.960 --> 1:40:43.560
<v Speaker 1>get me thinking, yeah, those are action movies, they're not

1:40:43.640 --> 1:40:51.560
<v Speaker 1>really historical epics. Are movies like Gladiator and Braveheart. Braveheart

1:40:51.680 --> 1:40:56.559
<v Speaker 1>is probably all in my favorite movie of all time,

1:40:57.360 --> 1:41:00.919
<v Speaker 1>and I've mentioned before that Braveheart was the name, the nickname,

1:41:01.200 --> 1:41:05.320
<v Speaker 1>not of William Wallace, who for some one day I'll

1:41:05.360 --> 1:41:07.160
<v Speaker 1>do a whole show on the real William Wallace. Not

1:41:07.240 --> 1:41:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a whole show, but a segment, probably a shield hie,

1:41:10.360 --> 1:41:13.080
<v Speaker 1>actually on the whole on the real William Wallace. Oh,

1:41:13.080 --> 1:41:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's where I also would note, sorry, there's no

1:41:15.000 --> 1:41:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Shields High today. We took a week off to do

1:41:16.960 --> 1:41:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a little additional research. It'll be up and running next week,

1:41:21.600 --> 1:41:24.719
<v Speaker 1>and so your next shield High installment will be next Monday.

1:41:25.640 --> 1:41:28.840
<v Speaker 1>The research team of Buck needed to take a couple

1:41:28.880 --> 1:41:31.640
<v Speaker 1>of days off and actually watch the Super Bowl with

1:41:31.720 --> 1:41:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Ms Molly and his brothers and not have his headphones

1:41:34.880 --> 1:41:38.559
<v Speaker 1>on while he's audio editing a history podcast. But back

1:41:38.640 --> 1:41:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to this question about action, I usually think of Gladiator

1:41:43.200 --> 1:41:46.519
<v Speaker 1>and uh and Braveheart when I think of can you

1:41:46.640 --> 1:41:49.439
<v Speaker 1>have an action movie that is pre gunpowder, so there's

1:41:49.520 --> 1:41:53.320
<v Speaker 1>no guns, no firing of any weapons that aren't you know,

1:41:53.520 --> 1:41:56.320
<v Speaker 1>bows and arrows and crossbows, and a lot of you

1:41:56.439 --> 1:41:59.080
<v Speaker 1>pointed out right away, Hold on a second, what is

1:41:59.200 --> 1:42:03.160
<v Speaker 1>three hundred if not an action movie? And I think

1:42:03.240 --> 1:42:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you got it on that one. I don't think you

1:42:05.000 --> 1:42:08.519
<v Speaker 1>can make a case that three hundred is anything other

1:42:08.640 --> 1:42:12.320
<v Speaker 1>than an action movie. I do see here on Twitter

1:42:12.439 --> 1:42:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that Hector wrote THET Warrior, which I just that really,

1:42:16.720 --> 1:42:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I found that fascinating because it's a It was a

1:42:20.320 --> 1:42:24.280
<v Speaker 1>disaster at the box office. It has Antonio Benderis, but

1:42:24.640 --> 1:42:27.599
<v Speaker 1>it's based on the Michael Crichton Eaters of the Dead,

1:42:28.240 --> 1:42:31.519
<v Speaker 1>and it has an interesting kind of history based plot.

1:42:31.960 --> 1:42:36.479
<v Speaker 1>It's a guy from the apposite Caliphate of Baghdad makes

1:42:36.560 --> 1:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>his way to Viking territory and there are there's kind

1:42:40.880 --> 1:42:43.439
<v Speaker 1>of a pre I don't know what you say, a

1:42:43.520 --> 1:42:47.599
<v Speaker 1>pre Bronze Age people that essentially eat people, their cannibals

1:42:47.680 --> 1:42:50.519
<v Speaker 1>up there. It's kind of an interesting out there plot.

1:42:51.000 --> 1:42:53.839
<v Speaker 1>But that movie did terribly the box office. I actually

1:42:54.000 --> 1:42:57.080
<v Speaker 1>owned it on DVD. I think it's because it was

1:42:57.120 --> 1:42:59.000
<v Speaker 1>one of those DVDs when I was in college you

1:42:59.040 --> 1:43:01.600
<v Speaker 1>could buy for like five bucks or something in the

1:43:01.760 --> 1:43:03.720
<v Speaker 1>in the store and one of those bins. So I

1:43:03.760 --> 1:43:06.280
<v Speaker 1>actually owned it in college and watched it a fair amount.

1:43:06.760 --> 1:43:12.000
<v Speaker 1>But your your answers here, I cannot begin to uh

1:43:12.200 --> 1:43:14.720
<v Speaker 1>push back against this. You guys were all correct when

1:43:14.760 --> 1:43:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you add in Brave Heart Gladiator three hundred and and

1:43:19.840 --> 1:43:22.320
<v Speaker 1>many others that aren't even coming to mind right away.

1:43:23.200 --> 1:43:27.120
<v Speaker 1>The answer is that, yes, in fact, you can. The

1:43:27.280 --> 1:43:32.040
<v Speaker 1>team Team Buck established it beyond any dispute. You can't

1:43:32.080 --> 1:43:36.320
<v Speaker 1>have an action movie without the usage of any gunpowder weapons.

1:43:36.400 --> 1:43:39.720
<v Speaker 1>So the question was answered, and thank you very much

1:43:39.760 --> 1:43:42.320
<v Speaker 1>for that. Um, I have some wisdom to share with you,

1:43:42.479 --> 1:43:46.560
<v Speaker 1>not for me, from well, from some kids actually and

1:43:46.640 --> 1:43:49.559
<v Speaker 1>a doctor who's passing it along. I think you'll really

1:43:49.600 --> 1:43:52.200
<v Speaker 1>find this worth your time, So stay with me through

1:43:52.240 --> 1:44:05.559
<v Speaker 1>the break and Hay teemed to close out the show. Today,

1:44:05.560 --> 1:44:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I have something a little different in mind than roll Call,

1:44:10.120 --> 1:44:13.759
<v Speaker 1>and it came to me in one of those moments

1:44:13.960 --> 1:44:18.000
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend where I realized I was looking at

1:44:18.080 --> 1:44:22.960
<v Speaker 1>my phone and paying attention to the political disputes going

1:44:23.080 --> 1:44:27.080
<v Speaker 1>on in the aftermath of the Trump memo and not

1:44:27.240 --> 1:44:31.680
<v Speaker 1>focusing as much on MS Molly, And also later in

1:44:31.720 --> 1:44:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the weekend for Super Bowl Sunday time I was spending

1:44:35.400 --> 1:44:38.320
<v Speaker 1>with my two brothers, I was all caught up in

1:44:38.960 --> 1:44:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the back and forth of the memo and not focused

1:44:43.120 --> 1:44:47.160
<v Speaker 1>on my life for a few moments, and it reminded

1:44:47.200 --> 1:44:50.040
<v Speaker 1>me of this thread that I saw on Twitter. So

1:44:50.120 --> 1:44:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm now going to use social media as a way

1:44:52.720 --> 1:44:55.639
<v Speaker 1>of telling us all not to spend too much time

1:44:55.680 --> 1:44:57.879
<v Speaker 1>on social media. But I do think that the message

1:44:58.520 --> 1:45:02.280
<v Speaker 1>contained within is is very powerful. It's also quite a

1:45:02.360 --> 1:45:06.200
<v Speaker 1>bit sad when you think about it, but I well

1:45:06.280 --> 1:45:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it it's stuck with me. Very few things in this

1:45:10.040 --> 1:45:16.519
<v Speaker 1>current era of constant news stimulation and engagement, very few

1:45:16.600 --> 1:45:20.160
<v Speaker 1>things that are not bombshell stories, tend to stick with

1:45:20.280 --> 1:45:23.840
<v Speaker 1>me for a few days, and uh, this is this

1:45:24.040 --> 1:45:28.400
<v Speaker 1>is one of them. So here is the story. Um,

1:45:28.720 --> 1:45:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and let me just first say that this is about

1:45:31.360 --> 1:45:38.760
<v Speaker 1>This is about palliative care for pediatric pediatric patients. So

1:45:39.439 --> 1:45:43.559
<v Speaker 1>these are children who have terminal diseases. Palliative in fact,

1:45:43.680 --> 1:45:47.320
<v Speaker 1>it comes from the Latin paliarre, which is to cloak

1:45:47.760 --> 1:45:53.120
<v Speaker 1>or to hide, because palliative care is about dealing with

1:45:53.360 --> 1:45:57.599
<v Speaker 1>the pain and the minimizing the suffering. Essentially, you make

1:45:57.720 --> 1:46:00.599
<v Speaker 1>someone as comfortable as you can for as long as

1:46:00.680 --> 1:46:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you can, but there is really no hope or effort

1:46:04.560 --> 1:46:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to treat the underlying disease. So you can imagine the

1:46:09.080 --> 1:46:17.439
<v Speaker 1>moment you're talking about terminal pediatric palliative care. This is

1:46:17.560 --> 1:46:20.240
<v Speaker 1>this is tough stuff, but there's a lot of wisdom

1:46:20.360 --> 1:46:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that can come from the thoughts of children who have

1:46:24.200 --> 1:46:28.080
<v Speaker 1>been faced with so much so early on in life.

1:46:28.160 --> 1:46:33.080
<v Speaker 1>And this was put together by a doctor Alistair mac

1:46:33.240 --> 1:46:36.639
<v Speaker 1>o Pine is his name, and he put this together

1:46:36.720 --> 1:46:41.120
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter. He is himself a pediatrician, so he treats

1:46:42.320 --> 1:46:46.120
<v Speaker 1>children who have terminal illnesses. And here's what he wrote.

1:46:47.080 --> 1:46:50.600
<v Speaker 1>For an assignment. I asked some of my terminal pediatric

1:46:50.840 --> 1:46:54.840
<v Speaker 1>palliative care patients what they had enjoyed in life and

1:46:55.080 --> 1:46:58.439
<v Speaker 1>what gave it meaning. Kids can be so wise, you know.

1:46:59.520 --> 1:47:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Here are some of their responses. First, none said they

1:47:05.479 --> 1:47:10.240
<v Speaker 1>wished they'd watched more TV. None said that they should

1:47:10.280 --> 1:47:14.519
<v Speaker 1>have spent more time on Facebook. None said that they

1:47:14.840 --> 1:47:20.679
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed fighting with others, and none enjoyed the hospital. Many

1:47:20.880 --> 1:47:25.960
<v Speaker 1>of them mentioned their pets quote, I love Rufus, His

1:47:26.080 --> 1:47:30.320
<v Speaker 1>funny bark makes me laugh. I love when Jinny snuggles

1:47:30.400 --> 1:47:33.560
<v Speaker 1>up to me at night in Purrs. I was happiest

1:47:33.760 --> 1:47:40.639
<v Speaker 1>riding Jake on the beach. Many mentioned their parents, often

1:47:40.760 --> 1:47:45.080
<v Speaker 1>expressing worry or concern. I hope mum will be okay.

1:47:45.920 --> 1:47:51.080
<v Speaker 1>She seems sad. Dad mustn't worry. He'll see me again soon.

1:47:52.280 --> 1:47:55.559
<v Speaker 1>God will take care of my mom and dad when

1:47:55.600 --> 1:48:01.839
<v Speaker 1>I am gone. All of the pediatric palliative care patients

1:48:03.080 --> 1:48:07.720
<v Speaker 1>said they loved ice cream, which I can totally relate to.

1:48:07.880 --> 1:48:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I just bought some ice cream myself yesterday. Miss Molly

1:48:11.160 --> 1:48:14.280
<v Speaker 1>even called me out. She said, you're getting two pints

1:48:14.320 --> 1:48:16.639
<v Speaker 1>of ice cream for the house. I said, yes, indeed,

1:48:16.720 --> 1:48:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I am. But all of these kids loved ice cream,

1:48:19.479 --> 1:48:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and I totally understand. I totally agree back to what

1:48:23.320 --> 1:48:26.439
<v Speaker 1>they had to say here. All of them loved books

1:48:27.200 --> 1:48:32.280
<v Speaker 1>or being told stories, especially by their parents. Harry Potter

1:48:32.479 --> 1:48:37.280
<v Speaker 1>made me feel brave. I love stories in space. I

1:48:37.400 --> 1:48:42.960
<v Speaker 1>want to be a great detective. Mm hmm. Excuse me,

1:48:43.840 --> 1:48:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a great detective like Sherlock Holmes when I'm better. Mm hmm.

1:48:52.439 --> 1:48:57.800
<v Speaker 1>The doctor writes here, folks read to your kids. They

1:48:57.880 --> 1:49:04.240
<v Speaker 1>love it, the doctors. Stories are profound. Stories are really important,

1:49:05.800 --> 1:49:11.240
<v Speaker 1>whether they are fictional or true. They allow us to

1:49:11.280 --> 1:49:14.800
<v Speaker 1>put our own lives into context and to inspire us.

1:49:14.840 --> 1:49:19.519
<v Speaker 1>And when you really think about it, religion, for most

1:49:19.560 --> 1:49:24.240
<v Speaker 1>of you listening, Christianity is storytelling. It is based on stories.

1:49:24.320 --> 1:49:30.439
<v Speaker 1>The Bible is a book of stories. That's an addition

1:49:30.520 --> 1:49:32.920
<v Speaker 1>to someone who will probably say now bucket. The Bible

1:49:33.080 --> 1:49:37.720
<v Speaker 1>is universal and deadless truth, but it is still storytelling.

1:49:37.760 --> 1:49:40.240
<v Speaker 1>You are being told stories, so they can clearly have

1:49:40.360 --> 1:49:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous impact on our lives. And I will always

1:49:44.200 --> 1:49:49.640
<v Speaker 1>remember my parents coming home from a meeting with the

1:49:50.000 --> 1:49:53.840
<v Speaker 1>headmaster of Regius High School where I went to school,

1:49:53.960 --> 1:49:59.320
<v Speaker 1>which was a really exceptional place, and the headmaster, who

1:49:59.360 --> 1:50:02.880
<v Speaker 1>it was a lifelong educator in a jesuit, was a

1:50:03.080 --> 1:50:07.719
<v Speaker 1>big proponent of whenever possible, eat dinner with your children,

1:50:08.840 --> 1:50:11.439
<v Speaker 1>do not have the TV on. That's not to say

1:50:11.520 --> 1:50:13.479
<v Speaker 1>don't watch the Super Bowl with your kids and eat

1:50:13.520 --> 1:50:16.320
<v Speaker 1>wings once a year. It's just to say, whenever possible

1:50:17.120 --> 1:50:21.760
<v Speaker 1>dinner as a family, without the television or any distractions on,

1:50:22.760 --> 1:50:25.599
<v Speaker 1>talk to each other and be with each other. He thought,

1:50:25.720 --> 1:50:28.920
<v Speaker 1>this Jesuit educator, that that had a profound impact on

1:50:30.080 --> 1:50:35.439
<v Speaker 1>their academic ability, their ability to socialized, particularly with adults.

1:50:35.560 --> 1:50:38.080
<v Speaker 1>And so it was um not just a question of

1:50:38.240 --> 1:50:42.080
<v Speaker 1>what's important in life, but also what is helpful in

1:50:42.240 --> 1:50:46.439
<v Speaker 1>life and reading to your kids, reading stories of all

1:50:46.560 --> 1:50:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the teachers that I had growing up, I have to

1:50:49.479 --> 1:50:53.280
<v Speaker 1>say I think that the the one teacher who made

1:50:53.320 --> 1:50:56.439
<v Speaker 1>a point. His name was Bill Ryan, He was my

1:50:56.560 --> 1:51:00.360
<v Speaker 1>fourth grade homeroom teacher. He he read to us from

1:51:00.400 --> 1:51:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the Hammed and then The Lord of the Rings. And

1:51:04.080 --> 1:51:06.280
<v Speaker 1>it's funny because we did a lot of other stuff

1:51:06.360 --> 1:51:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that year. I remember him reading to us. He would

1:51:09.040 --> 1:51:11.639
<v Speaker 1>just say, okay, everybody, you know, he would he would

1:51:11.680 --> 1:51:13.400
<v Speaker 1>turn the light down just a little bit because the

1:51:13.439 --> 1:51:16.280
<v Speaker 1>light of the sun was always blasting into the classroom,

1:51:17.000 --> 1:51:19.760
<v Speaker 1>so he would just give us a little bit of

1:51:20.080 --> 1:51:22.880
<v Speaker 1>of quiet time and everybody would just sit with their

1:51:23.520 --> 1:51:25.280
<v Speaker 1>hands on the desk, or you could even put your

1:51:25.320 --> 1:51:26.880
<v Speaker 1>head down on your hands on the desk if you

1:51:26.920 --> 1:51:29.600
<v Speaker 1>wanted to, and he would read to the class. It

1:51:29.720 --> 1:51:31.559
<v Speaker 1>was one of the most powerful things that any teacher

1:51:31.560 --> 1:51:34.479
<v Speaker 1>I ever had did. But back to the wisdom of

1:51:34.720 --> 1:51:37.559
<v Speaker 1>Dr Alistair Mackael Pine, or i should say the wisdom

1:51:37.640 --> 1:51:42.080
<v Speaker 1>of the the terminal palliative patients in his care. So

1:51:42.200 --> 1:51:46.639
<v Speaker 1>they all love being told stories. Here's what else they said. Quote.

<v Speaker 1>Many wish they had spent less time worrying about what

1:51:49.280 --> 1:51:52.360
<v Speaker 1>others thought of them and valued people who just treated

1:51:52.439 --> 1:51:57.840
<v Speaker 1>them normally. My real friends didn't excuse me, um, my

1:51:58.080 --> 1:52:03.920
<v Speaker 1>real friends didn't care when my hair fell out or

1:52:05.120 --> 1:52:11.400

1:52:17.520 --> 1:52:23.240
<v Speaker 1>swimming and the beach. I made big sand castles. Being

1:52:52.280 --> 1:52:57.960
<v Speaker 1>gentle and it doesn't hurt as much. Almost all of

1:52:58.080 --> 1:53:02.240
<v Speaker 1>them loved people who made them laugh. That magician is

1:53:02.320 --> 1:53:05.960
<v Speaker 1>so silly. His pants fell down and I couldn't stop laughing.
