Ultimately, you and 11 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: other like minded people on your board feel that sanctuary 12 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: status is unc institutional. Well, it is unconstitutional. I mean 13 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: I realized there are a lot of states that don't 14 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: care to live by certain rules in the federal government 15 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: or or the Constitution if they disagree with it. Last 16 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: I checked, it's not optional even if you don't like 17 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: the outcome, and it puts our law enforcement personnel in 18 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: a very awkward spot. They have to uphold the Constitution 19 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: and the log They swear to do that. I swore 20 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: to do that when I took the oath, and uh, 21 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: California has decided to poke the President and his administration 22 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: in the eye, and I'd rather they just not involve us. 23 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: The Sanctuary City showdown continues. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Everyone. 24 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: Great to have you here, oh man. The fight over 25 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: immigration is intensifying. Now, a few things to put out 26 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: there right right away. I've got to look a bit 27 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: deeper into whether Trump has a means of building building 28 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: the wall without actually having to get specific congressional funds 29 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: for I know every bee saying it. I don't see 30 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: how it's possible. But I'm I'm seeing stuff left and 31 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: right about how we're not not I'm on the political left, 32 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm seeing reports out there 33 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: of Trump could do this in Amat. We'll see that 34 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: would be some amazing. That would be four D chess, 35 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: it would it will be eight D chess. I don't 36 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: even know what that looks like, but it's some crazy chest. 37 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: It looks like it's out of a nightmare. But there 38 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: there'll be nuts if he could pull that off. I 39 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: don't know how he's gonna do that. But there's another place, 40 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: or a couple of places where the immigration fight continues on, 41 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: and if nothing else, it is important for us to 42 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: have clarity on it going into the mid terms. I 43 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: mentioned the issue of sanctuary cities, and be very careful 44 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: as I say that, especially when you say sanctuary city 45 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: showdown on a live radios. That's not something you want 46 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: to say ten times real fast. Trust me, don't do it, folks, 47 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: Trust me on that one. You're gonna have to apologize 48 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: in front of your kids. Whoops, mommy said something she 49 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: didn't mean to. Uh. But sanctuary city showdown is ongoing, 50 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: and you've got actual cities in California that are saying, 51 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: you know what, we want to opt out of this mess. 52 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: We we don't believe that California's state legislature should be 53 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: able to pass laws that directly contravene the spirit, if 54 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: not the law, of the federal government when it comes 55 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: to immigration. Now, I'm gonna I'm gonna tell it to 56 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: you straight. I like the resistance here, hashtag crazy sts no, 57 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: the hashtag resistance. I like what they're doing. I like 58 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: that it's part of conversation. But states have police powers, 59 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: not cities. States are gonna win this fight. I think 60 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you the truth. And you know what, 61 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: we should get My buddy Jeff, you know, the big 62 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: big j Mr Sessions. We'll have the Attorney General come 63 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: back on the show and explain to us how he 64 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: thinks this can play out legally in the course, because 65 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: I completely agree with him that this is just utter lawlessness. 66 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: In the case of California, it's just sheer utter lawlessness 67 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: that they are totally okay with because they're like Hemi 68 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: and they live everybody like Langy. By the way, my 69 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: ratings in California are probably going off a cliff right now, 70 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: But you know, I love you, my fellow California Conservatives. 71 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: Don't you understand You're like me, but the West Coast version. 72 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: You're a Republican behind enemy lines or Conservative behind enemy lines. 73 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: You're like Buck but with a tan and eating more healthfully. 74 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: You know that's you're You're the West Coast branch of 75 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: the freedom Hunt. So I'm not I'm not making fun 76 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: of you, guys and gals. I'm talking about your friend Tad. 77 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: You know, who drives a Prius, were's a lot of 78 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: hemp based clothing as a pet therapist, drinks a lot 79 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: of things that require a blender but just look like 80 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: green mush and thinks he knows about politics based on 81 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: the latest Kardashian tweet, that's not who you should be 82 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: getting your political analysis from. As you know. Unfortunately, those 83 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: folks make up a plurality of your state, a massive 84 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: majority of your state, and they're the ones determining policy. 85 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: So the sanctuary issue, I think in California, the fight 86 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: between the state and the federal government is going to 87 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: be a close from the fight between some of these 88 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: cities and the state, I think the state's gonna win. 89 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you can do things that the state 90 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 1: doesn't mind. So New York City, for example, has even 91 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: more restrictive gun laws than New York State does because, 92 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: to borrow from Governor Cuomo, nobody needs a bazooka to 93 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: kill a deer. Fact check true, um, but nonetheless, and 94 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 1: no one has a bazooka. But you get all that. Uh, 95 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: you look at what New York City does. New York 96 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: State's okay with it. That's why if they thought it 97 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: contradicted what was coming out of our state capital, Albany. 98 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: In the case of California, Sacramento be an issue. Keep 99 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: in mind, though, there's another big area of immigration focus 100 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: right now that is fascinating for what it says about 101 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: the political parties and our our national conversation right now. 102 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: And I think the federal government will win. The state 103 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: of California is challenging the federal government including a question 104 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: in our ten years census. Right constitutionally mandated. You gotta 105 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: have a census every ten years. Gotta do apportionment of 106 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: the various uh members of the House or the seats 107 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: for the House of Representatives. You don't actually apportion the members. 108 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: That would be weird, like put me down, but you 109 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: know you've got actually on a map decide where which 110 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: dates have which representatives and where what the districts are. 111 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: This matters a lot for that. It also matters a 112 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: whole lot the census data for federal funds for grant money, 113 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: so that the stakes here are pretty high. Last time 114 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: we had this was by the way, it costs thirteen 115 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: billion dollars. It seems like a lot for handing out 116 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: a questionnaire. I mean, there's a lot of people in 117 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: this country, but there it is done on paper. I 118 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: think maybe you can do it online now too. I 119 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: gotta check, but you would think that the thirteen billion 120 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: with a B is a it's a lot of money 121 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: for a census. I think that at six and workers 122 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: as well. The Census, uh, the Census Bureau. You know, 123 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: it's this like they're Super Bowl folks. Is it's big 124 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: time for them. They want to take it from the 125 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: friend zone to the end zone in game time. The 126 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: song Lyric'm assuming some of you will get anyway, it's 127 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: a big deal for them. And the big problem right 128 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: now is over the inclusion of a question about citizenship. See, 129 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: this is what's so fascinating right the way the census works. 130 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: And I really dug into this one today. I may 131 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: have spent way too much time reading about the census. 132 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: And you know where it comes from. By the way, 133 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: it used to have a question about citizenship of some 134 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: kind or another from like eighteen. So there's a long 135 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: period there where hey, like, are you actually a citizen? 136 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: Because they do just count persons. And then the strateches 137 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: stretches back all the way to the clause of the 138 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: Constitution about three fits. And you know, there's there's a 139 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: whole other part of the American legacy that you see 140 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: in the in the issue of this is you know 141 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: what an Article two, Section one. I think I'm doing 142 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: that from memory. Don't yell at me. Constitution super geniuses. 143 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: If I got that one wrong. I think it's Article two, 144 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: Section one. Um. But the census is necessary for apportionment 145 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: of the House. It's also, you know, we have to 146 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: worry about what the Senate because, as we all know, 147 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: even Rhode Island gets two senators. Why, it's a little 148 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: quirk of history. That's right. We don't have an affiliate 149 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: and Rhode Island right now. So I'm just like, whatever, whatever, 150 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: Rhode Island take your two senators speak grateful. Um, Actually 151 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: we might have it. I'm sorry if we do have 152 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: a Rhode Island affiliate. I love you guys that I'm 153 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: totally kidding about your two senators that you probably don't need. Um. 154 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: Massachusetts is not just gonna swallow you up any day now. 155 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: But back to the census. The question about citizenship has 156 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: set off all kinds of alarms and problems and oh 157 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: my gosh, because here's what the Democrat Party really has become. 158 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: It is no longer just a pro amnesty party. It 159 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: is a pro illegal immigration party. They don't think illegal 160 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: immigration is a crime, they don't think it's a problem. 161 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: They want all people that are currently quote undocumented, which 162 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: is a term they've invented for people who are legal 163 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: aliens to be legalized, and any future illegal aliens they 164 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: will also make an effort to legalize. So they are 165 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: ideologically and open borders party, although they're not a day 166 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: a de jure open borders party, right. They won't advocate 167 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: for the laws to change to make us open borders, 168 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: but they want the continuation of what we have, which 169 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: is legal immigration amnesty, illegal immigration amnesty. That's the cycle 170 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: that they like. It empowers them. So why are they 171 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: so upset about the census, Well, they don't want to 172 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: question about illegal well about citizenship status, because they say 173 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: it will frighten people in and not answering the question. 174 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: I want to tell you there's a whole another reason 175 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: why they don't want the question about citizenship to be 176 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: on the Census Bureau in the Census Bureau data. And 177 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,479 Speaker 1: that's why the state of California and now Eric Schneiderman, 178 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: the very annoying attorney genre from the state of New York, 179 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: some of the most populous states in the country, are 180 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: challenging the federal government on this preemptively to stop it 181 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: from being included in the Census. I will tell you 182 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: why they're doing this, but I'm gonna have to tell 183 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: you after the break because we are deep dive. We 184 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: are going wild here. We're having a census party, and 185 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: it's getting Craig Kray up in the Freedom hund Right now. 186 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: We will be back with much more on that eight 187 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: four four to five. If you want to call in 188 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: eight four four nine buck, stay with me. This is 189 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: a question that's been included in every census since nineteen 190 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: sixty five, with the exception of when it was removed. Uh. 191 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: This is we've contained this question that's provided data that's 192 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: necessary for the Department of Justice to protect voters, uh 193 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: and specifically to help us better comply with the Voting 194 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: Rights Act, which is something that is important in a 195 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: part of this process. UH. And again, this is something 196 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: that has been part of the census for decades and 197 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: something that the Department of Commerce felt strongly needed to 198 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: be included. Against. So they have the Press Secretary Sarah 199 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: Cooby Sanders talking about the the justification for including the question, 200 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: which is that historically it has generally overwhelmingly been included, 201 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: but also it's necessary under I think Section two of 202 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: the Voting Rights Act has to do with minority representation 203 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: and protecting minority voting. They have to know what's going 204 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: on in different districts if they're going to be in 205 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: compliance the federal government complying with the Voting Rights Act, 206 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: the parts of it that still apply. Remember there was 207 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: a truncation of the Voting Rights Act a few years back, 208 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: which sent the left into fits of frenzy. But nonetheless, 209 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: here's what's really going on. Though, you guys ready for this? 210 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: Y'all ready for this? Do do? There's a music thing 211 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: we didn't have it. I don't have it. I can't 212 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: make the music sound. Let's just get past that buck. 213 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: So here's what's really going on with the census. Democrats 214 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: want the number to be as high as possible, which 215 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: means they want as many illegals as possible, especially in 216 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: a place like California. They want the number high as 217 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: possible for the reasons of apportionment, but also federal funding 218 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: and all the different good is the federal government distributes. Right, 219 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: if you've got a county that has a hundred thousand people, 220 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: well that's you get stuff based on the formula that 221 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: the government has for those hundred thousands. If you have 222 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty thousand, you're gonna get more stuff. So 223 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: if California wants the other states, including states that are 224 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: not sanctuary jurisdictions that are not full of millions of 225 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: illegal aliens, to pay for their or emergency room visits, 226 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: to pay for their school system, to to be giving 227 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: them additional federal funds, they need the illegals to be counted. 228 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: They want the illegals to be counted the problem. So 229 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: so they don't want the inclusion, they say, because it'll 230 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: scare people off. I don't know if it'll really scare 231 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: anybody from answering one or the other one. I think 232 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: you can just leave the question blank. And two it's 233 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: the last question on the survey, so people have already 234 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: filed out all this stuff, and the last one they'll 235 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: have a thing about citizenship status. And I'm sure they'll 236 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: just have a you know, uh, you know, a little 237 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: clause about you know neither or does not apply or 238 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: no answer or whatever, or you just leave it blank. 239 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: You know what, really scary thing happens to you if 240 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: you don't fill out your citizenship I'm sorry, you're a 241 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: census forms. I think they can send someone to hand 242 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: it to you, and then if you really want to 243 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: play hardball, they can find you a hundred dollars. No 244 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: one's going to prison over this one. Folks when they 245 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: start talking about ever so scared, Oh, I'm so scared, 246 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: the census workers are coming for me. You know, if 247 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: you're worrying about the census workers coming for you need 248 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: to have a whole other bunch of talks. Time to 249 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: check and see how you're doing. Um. But the other 250 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: part of it is that if you had let's say 251 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: a high degree of compliance with the census in California, 252 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: including the question about illegal aliens um, including that question, 253 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: then you'd be able to see how many illegals are 254 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: actually in California. And you know, we're told time and 255 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: time again all the government has a number. They know 256 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: the number. The numbers clear, you know, the worry about it, 257 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: They've got it, and no big deal. Come out to 258 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: the coast, have a few laughs. They pretend like they 259 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: have a really good hand on this. I'm of the 260 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: school and I know that some of our esteemed friends 261 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: in this debate, who are true experts market corpying from 262 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: Center Immigration Studies, among others, believe that the eleven and 263 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: twelve million number is is accurate. I think it's higher 264 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: than that UM, and I have a whole rationale or 265 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: reasoning of as to why that is. UM. Whenever there's 266 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: something the government wants to be a lower number, trust me, 267 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: they undercount it, right. So that's just a basic rule. 268 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: Whenever that's it's bad for the number to be higher, 269 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: the government magically finds a way to pretend the number 270 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: is lower, uh than it actually is. So I think 271 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: illegal immigrations know different than that. But also if people 272 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: really had a renewed sense of how many illegals are 273 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: in for example, Los Angeles County, then I think they 274 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: want to know, well, what is this costing us folks? Yeah, 275 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: and and and if there's federal dollars being directed See 276 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: this is one really comes down to, if there are 277 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: federal dollars that are specifically being increased for these areas 278 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: of the country because of their illegal alien populations, which 279 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: in a state like California, it's in the millions. I 280 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: don't know how many millions, but in terms of the percentages, 281 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: it's a large percentage of the overall state now is illegal. 282 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to throw out a number because I 283 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: might be overestimating it in my head. And while I 284 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: like to think I'm human Google, occasionally I do make mistakes. 285 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: But there are some There are some people who are 286 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: seeing what's happened in California and understanding that they want 287 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: the money, but they don't want the data, meaning they 288 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: don't want people to really know how many illegals are. 289 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: Actually what do we got, producer Mike uh And this 290 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: is going back to the estimated between two point three 291 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: five and two point six million undocumented immigrants. In fairness, 292 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: I was gonna say three millions, so, you know, close, 293 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: But that's you're you're you're looking at getting in the 294 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: neighborhood of me. You know what, what what's the population 295 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: of California? I'm gonna keep a human Google needs to 296 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: keep turning to actual Google here. I think it's thirty 297 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: five million, nish thirty to thirty five million? What do 298 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: we got, producer Mike millionamn, close enough that I give 299 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: it to myself. I showed my war work. I get 300 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: half credit at least on the math test. Thirty thirty 301 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: nine millions, So let's say it's roughly three million. Okay, 302 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's but that's a large portion of 303 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: the state, but that number is low. That number is low, 304 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: No way, it's actually and they say two points six, 305 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: but I think they're unaccount undercounting by at least would 306 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: be my guests, and they don't want people to really know. 307 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: But here's what you see happening. The Democrat Party is 308 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: now the party of illegal aliens, which means the Democrat 309 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: Party privileges the interests of non citizens or in the 310 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: country illegally over legal US citizens. And if this fight 311 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: over the census question continues, that we may also see 312 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: is in fact a situation where the government is privileging 313 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: the interests of order. The government in California would be 314 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: privileging the interests of illegal aliens over the interests of 315 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: minority communities in this country who are specifically protected under 316 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: the Voting Rights Act. It just goes to show you 317 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: where the priorities the Democrat Party are. Now. Forget about Americans, 318 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: forget about minorities, forget about African Americans. In this context, 319 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party concerned first and foremost with non American 320 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: illegal aliens. We'll be back. Fox News has the conservative 321 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: piece of the Real Estate sewed up and has thrived 322 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: on that and done incredibly well. I will say what 323 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: has happened there in the post Roger Rails world is 324 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: somewhat shocking. Frankly, it is really state run TV. It 325 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: is a pure propaganda machine and I think does an 326 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: incredible disservice to this country. Oh boy, I'm excited. Time 327 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: for some bucks laps here for Mr Mr Zucker, there 328 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,160 Speaker 1: we go. Who is the my technically my four were 329 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: boss at CNN, although I don't know if he would 330 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: know me if I walked into the room, and I 331 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: don't care, But but he threw the first punch here 332 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: in the Fox News wars. You know, usually the corporate 333 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: executive types stay out of this because they understand that 334 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: the moment the guys at the very top start rolling 335 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: up the sleeves and throwing punches, the second this turns 336 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: into a bit of rhetorical pugilism. It's a throwdown. Um. 337 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: That's when you, in fact, can have all the rest 338 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: of the organization deciding that they're also going to get 339 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: in on it, if you know what I mean, They're 340 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: also going to throw down quite a bit. And there's 341 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: so much that's a problem here. Okay, there's so much 342 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: that's wrong with what was just said, but let me 343 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: just start from the perspective of what CNN was for 344 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: the eight years of the Obama administration. If you went 345 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: on CNN and you were insufficiently uh favorable towards Obama, 346 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: if you did not show him reverence, you were automatically 347 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: suspect in the eyes of the entirety of the leadership there, 348 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: and the producers that would book you for the shows, 349 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: and as all the different hosts. In fact, the hosts 350 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: of the various CNN shows were incredibly close to senior 351 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: Obama administration officials, both personally in many cases professionally. It 352 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: was as close as you can be in the media, 353 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: I think, without actually working in the West wing. That's 354 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: where CNN was an MSNBC during the Obama years. There 355 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: was no effort whatsoever to really call to account the 356 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: Obama administration lies. He was like, oh what lies. Oh, 357 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, Like, if you like your health care plan, 358 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: you can keep it. And also if you were and 359 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: I was so I speak from experience here, if you 360 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: were a conservative over at CNN, you were always being 361 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: either subtly or not so subtle a fashion undermined. You 362 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: were contly being underlined. You were there to be a 363 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: clay pigeon. If you did too well, you would get 364 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: put on ice, you'd be sent on injured Reserve. And 365 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: for CNN right now to have its head haunt show 366 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: out there throwing stuff in the direction of Fox News, 367 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: when CNN has just engaged in among the most appalling 368 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: weeks of journalism or months of journalism I've ever seen 369 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: with regard to the gun issue, is particularly rich. It's 370 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 1: crazy that CNN thinks they can lecture anyone on anything 371 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: at this point in time, considering that they set up 372 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: a gun town hall that was the the equivalent of 373 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: some kind of show trial. It really was. It was 374 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: a show trial. It was let's bring out people who 375 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: will defend the Second Amendment, who will have an honest 376 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: conversation with this frenzied anti gun mob. And do you 377 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: have to remember what I say and you know it's true, 378 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: because when I say it, left just get really mad 379 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: at me. When I talk about the truth of the 380 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: anti gun movement, I get all this victriol from the 381 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: left when I say things like anti gun sentiment is 382 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: really about anti gun owner sentiment. They get so angry 383 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: because it's true, and they don't like it when people 384 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: speak the truth about what's really going on in their minds, 385 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: why they take the positions they do, why they feel 386 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: the way they do about all these various gun control 387 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: issues and debates that come up. But you had Marco Rubio, 388 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: Dana Lash, you had individuals showing up for that CNN 389 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: town hall, which was really, as I said, a televised 390 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: show trial and just a a two minutes hate against 391 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: gun owners. It's not gonna change any policy in any 392 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: meaningful sense. It's not gonna save anyone's lives, any lives. 393 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: It's just going to be exactly what it was, an 394 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: effort to play Kate the frenzied, ignorant anti gun base 395 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: that comprises most of CNN's viewership. They're proudly ignorant. I mean, 396 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: these are the chainsaw batonet people, right. Oh, why do 397 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: I gotta know about the chan saw band nuts with 398 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: the Buzuka machine lasers on it. You say, well, that's 399 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: not really a thing. Oh, it's always about the minutia 400 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: with you children are dying. Well, I'm just trying to 401 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: be clear. If you want to pass a lot of 402 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: band something you should probably know what you're trying to ban, right. 403 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: You know, this would be like if somebody said, yeah, 404 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: let's just let's just ban let's just ban opioids. This 405 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: is ban them all, And I said, well, hold on 406 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: a second. Some opioids are actually really useful for people 407 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: for medicinal purposes. Some give people their lives back, allow 408 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: them to function instead of being chronic pain. Some opioids 409 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: are incredibly useful during and after or after generally but surgery. Right, 410 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: Oh no, let's just ban them. Don't you care about 411 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: all the people losing their lives, Well, of course I 412 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: care about the people losing their lives. But you know, 413 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: if you're saying, just ban opioid, I'm gonna say that's 414 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: a bad idea. If you're saying just band guns or 415 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: band handguns or band rifles, I'm gonna say that's a 416 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: bad idea. But CNN doesn't want to get lost in 417 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: those distinctions. It's a network that has just gone from 418 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: one storyline to another. Not meant to illuminate different aspects 419 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: of Democrat policy. Not meant to give people a both 420 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: sides understanding of what the Trump administrations up to. They 421 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: are a political Action Committee devoted to undermining and destroying 422 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: this presidency. That's it. They will do fake news as 423 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: they have in the past, in order to get there. 424 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: They are unapologetic about the bias that they have. In fact, 425 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: they unlike MSNBC, which will kind of sort of admitted. 426 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: I mean, they know they're leftist at MSNBC, CNN doesn't 427 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: think it has a bias, which in many ways makes 428 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: it even worse. In many ways, I find that more 429 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: bothersome than what we see from other places. You know, no, 430 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: no one admits that. No one thinks I should say 431 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: that Vox or Slate or the Huffing and Post doesn't 432 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,719 Speaker 1: have a point of view. They don't understand that their 433 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: point of view is insane and they're practically communists. But 434 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: nonetheless they've got a point of view. CNN thinks it's 435 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: still the gold standard in journalism. I could say here 436 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: and just tell your story after story about the stuff 437 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: that I heard on air, off air, behind the scenes, 438 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: always playing games. They didn't realize what they were doing. 439 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: And this is fundamental, This is important for all of 440 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: you listening. They kept putting the Trump people on TV, yes, 441 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: because of ratings, but also they thought that Trump and 442 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: all of his defenders in the media, of which I 443 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: was won by the way after the primary. Uh, they 444 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 1: thought that they were creating us and and and idiotic, 445 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: and if they would just put them on air, it 446 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: would expose how awful they were to the people that 447 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: watch CMN. So it was a two fur. You get 448 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: great ratings and you're just letting these these pro Trump 449 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: clowns embarrassed themselves. What they didn't understand was that people 450 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: saw this and they thought, Wow, this guy's actually really 451 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: he's really making sense, He's got something. What they didn't 452 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: understand was that when they had their anchors say things like, oh, 453 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper, Mr super journalist, Donald Trump would take a 454 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: dump on a desk, and you would defend it. That's 455 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: a quote from him when he was on air on 456 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: National TV. Oh yeah, this this the second coming of 457 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: Edward R. Murrow right there, Anderson Cooper, when he's not 458 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: drunk on New Year's Eve, he's doing a great job 459 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,239 Speaker 1: on air. You know, he said that on TV. And 460 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: it's because over time it just became hard to get 461 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: attention for the different ways that people at CNN could 462 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: try to undermine and humiliate Trump. Supporters on air, and 463 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: so he finally just lent one fly there. But there 464 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: were other times too. I remember when he went after 465 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: Andy Dean and basically said, you know, your little punk life, 466 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: you've never done any thing like I've done. It was 467 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: a really nasty exchange with Andy Dean, who's a friend 468 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: of mine, a good guy. By the way, I actually 469 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: used to be a host of radio show. UM, so 470 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: the bias is very clear. And then just real quickly. 471 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: I won't spend much time on this, but Fox News 472 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: has people who are very supportive of Trump, people who 473 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: are kind of supportive of Trump, people who are opposed 474 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: to Trump, and they are all on air and they 475 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: are all treated with respect. I cannot say the same 476 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 1: thing for CNN. Pro Trump people are ridiculed there. And 477 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: it's CNN's fault and CNN's loss and CNN's poor judgment 478 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: that they thought by putting Trump people on TV during 479 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: the campaign, they were assuring Hillary's victory and whoops, it's 480 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: not how it turned out as uh, as you can see. 481 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: I do not I do not appreciate. I do not 482 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: think we all need to hear the lecture from Mr 483 00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 1: Zucker on Fox News as state TV and it's it's 484 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: particularly galling a team. We've got a lot more show 485 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: coming up here. Uh, phone lines are open eight four 486 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: five eight four four. Buck Also, don't forget you can 487 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: tweet at me throughout the show if you'd like at 488 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: buck Sexton on Twitter.

Disservices is a strong word. 497 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: But when I was interviewing David Hogg only ten days 498 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: after the massacre, Uh, there were a few times I 499 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: wanted to jump in and and say, let's let's correct 500 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: that fact. That's so interesting. And at one of the 501 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,959 Speaker 1: times I did, and other times I did not. So 502 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: there you have my friend sc cup over at over 503 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: at hl N sister network, CNN, who is one of 504 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: the very few loan conservatives over there and and she 505 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: is treated with respect. She has her own show on 506 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: hl N, so it's the sister network to see an N. 507 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: But she's asked a very important question of Brian Salter, 508 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: who has a show of Mind You on CNN and 509 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: whom I My one experience with him was was he 510 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: tried to ambush me in a taped interview and got 511 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: so buck slapped and so taken to school that the 512 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: the interview never saw the light of day. They never 513 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: aired it, and wouldn't even tell me they weren't going 514 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: to air it two days later when I said, hey, 515 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: whatever happened that interview was overtaken by breaking news. It's 516 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: a Sunday morning. This was supposed to air on Sunday morning. 517 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: I don't think there was any breaking news in the 518 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: last couple of hours since you guys were all planning 519 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: on running this. Because he keep it as like that, 520 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: But well, what do you know about terrorism? Then why 521 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: would this be a terrorisis? Like, I don't know. I 522 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: might have brief the president on issues relating to counter 523 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: terrorism when I was in the Central Intelligence Aide, see 524 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: his Office of counter Terrorism and then the Office of 525 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: a Rock Analysis. Maybe I might know something about it 526 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: enough to talk about it on CNN without an anchor 527 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: coming at me with that stuff that that my week's 528 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: us has been thrown back at my face. I'm so sad. 529 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,719 Speaker 1: Now Stelter is not not among the more impressive journalists 530 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: over there. He also walks around all the time wearing 531 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: new balanced sneakers with his suit on. Which are you, 532 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: Steve Jobs? No wear some real shoes, all right, Stelter, 533 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm somebody's all about comfortable shoes. Don't wear shoes that say, hey, 534 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,719 Speaker 1: I'm too cool at my place of work to have 535 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: to wear real shoes with this suit. You can say 536 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: this is petty, but I'm just enjoying making fun of 537 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: Selter a little bit. Okay, So, uh we we have 538 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: the admission there though, and this was what was important, 539 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: admission that they just don't really challenge the kids. You see. 540 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: That's why the kids are so perfect for the purposes 541 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: of the propaganda that's out there, the uh March for 542 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: Our Lives and then never again moving all this different 543 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,479 Speaker 1: stuff because the demo crats can use it in whatever 544 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: way they want whenever they want. You know, they're experts 545 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: when they sound good, they're just kids. When they make 546 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: fools of themselves. They're people of great gravitas and authority 547 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: when they're pushing the left wing line. There, He'll be 548 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: me into the kids that whenever the media decides on 549 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: on the one hand, of the voices of reason and 550 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: wisdom on the other hand, that is going to change 551 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: a generation. On the other hand, uh, they are the 552 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: kids who we can't be mean to because they've been 553 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: through a trauma. Right. So looking at this now you 554 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: see the way the game is playing out time and 555 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: time again with this. It's not new. They did this. 556 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: The Democrats did this with a handful of nine eleven widows, 557 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: and everyone was very, oh gosh, how could you call? 558 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: You know, there are a few people that are in 559 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: campaign commercials for John Kerry and acting like they can't 560 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: be challenged on foreign policy because there are among the 561 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: thousands of people who lost family members on on eleven 562 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: and now here we are at this And I would 563 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: note that the one of the survivors of the Bota 564 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: Clon massacre, which saw I believe over a hundred killed 565 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: that day you had suicide bombing at the Stad de France, 566 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: I was actually at seeing then covering it as an 567 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: analyst at the time when it was breaking news and 568 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: you had all these so I remember the night very well, 569 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: and you had all these different stories about how horrific 570 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: the Bota Clon massacre was. And you've got a survivor 571 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: of that saying that he thinks these kids are acting 572 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: like they're acting like, uh, you know, punks. Basically, he 573 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: thinks it's completely He calls them pathetic. I'm trying to 574 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: find the oh and and and vile. I'm trying to 575 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,959 Speaker 1: find the direct quotes from him. Now. It was the 576 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: Eagles of Death metal frontman Jesse Hughes. He's been getting 577 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: attention now for so so what do we say to 578 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: this in response? He was there from one of the 579 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 1: most horrific brutal terrorist massacres who happen in the West 580 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: in memory, all right, other than nine eleven and Battle 581 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: Clown massacres up there, and like probably the top ten 582 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: or fifteen in terms of number killed. And so does 583 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: does he get a special place in terms of his 584 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: opinions on this is? Is he treated with reverence and deference? 585 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: Of course not, because he's not a useful tool for 586 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: the left. He is not someone who does what they 587 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: want him to do. Therefore, he does not get the 588 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: special protections. One more. I wanted to get this in 589 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: before we get to the next hour. We're gonna talk 590 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: about Russia coming up, right, I know, get excited Russia time. 591 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: Uh here is uh CNN, I'm really going after see 592 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: it is. I've got some unresolved CNN issues. Apparently I 593 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: need to go sit down with my therapist and be like, 594 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: CNN was so mean to me, and I just feel 595 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: like I just want some CNN closure because they just 596 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: were I mean, it's not really like that. I smacked 597 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: around all the people that they actually let me get 598 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: near in terms of on air, but they kept mending 599 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: of them away from me. You know, they were smart. 600 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: I give him credit for that. There were some that 601 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: were we're dodging me on the Hillary Clinton story in particular, 602 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: because it's like, well, I had a t S clearance 603 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: and actually know the rules in the law on this. 604 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 1: You're putting a bunch of political hillary hacks on TV 605 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: who want jobs. Who do you think is going to 606 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: look smarter on TV? Like, let's keep this buck kid 607 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: off to the side. Please. Uh he he looks twenty 608 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: maybe on a good day. But they'll still believe him 609 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: because he actually knows what the heck he's talking about. 610 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: But polling says some things that they don't like over 611 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: at CNN, so uh of people, despite allegations of affairs, 612 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: forty two of people UM are approving of Trump at 613 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: this point in time, UM, which is actually right about 614 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 1: right about where he was, right about where he's been 615 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: all along. So they keep running these stories. They keep 616 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: running the different iterations of you know, playboy bunny and 617 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: the affair and all this other stuff off and it 618 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 1: doesn't affect Trump's approval, right, And the ratings are terrible 619 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: over at CNN, by the way, So what are they 620 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: really doing. They are on an a hab like quest. 621 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: Trump is CNN's white whale. We could have a lot 622 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: of fun with that, and CNN is a hab and 623 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 1: they are never given this thing up. The polling shows 624 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: that's not working so far, but they don't care. They 625 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: don't care. Our maytee with the higher poon. I don't 626 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: know if that's really what they have sounds like, but 627 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Our to Russia coming up. 628 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: Stay with me. He's back with you now, because when 629 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. 630 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: This is twenty nations, including many nations in Western Europe, 631 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: which is a history of being somewhat soft on Russia, 632 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: as well as the Stern Block nations for the former 633 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: Soviet satellite states, and the United States is leading the 634 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: way in this in terms of the number of expulsions. Look, Eric, 635 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: I'm a I'm an old piece through strength guy, and 636 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: I always will be. When one nation does something inappropriate, 637 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: messes with international order and law, it is entirely right 638 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,720 Speaker 1: and you must retaliate. We retaliated. We need to do more. 639 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: But this is very appropriate, felt familiar, felt a bit 640 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 1: like old times. Now, look look at what just happened. 641 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: We're tough on Russia. We acted in concert with our 642 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: allies globally. The United States took a leadership role, very 643 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: untrumpion and so I'm I'm very happy to see it. 644 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: In response to the President's leadership, several additional countries and 645 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: NATO have followed up with similar actions since our announcement. 646 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,280 Speaker 1: As of this morning, over twenty five countries all around 647 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: the world have expelled one hundred and fifty Russian intelligence 648 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: officers hiding under diplomatic cover in their countries. As we 649 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: have said before the United States is open to building 650 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,919 Speaker 1: a better relationship with Russia, but the Russian government must 651 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: understand that there are serious consequences for its destabilizing actions. 652 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: Trump takes on the bear, welcome back to the buck, 653 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,760 Speaker 1: Sex and show everybody we had just in that little 654 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: little sound bite we ran there, we had a former 655 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 1: Bush administration, White House Press secretary, former CIA director in fact, 656 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: my boss, I remember Mike.

By the way, that was such 659 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,240 Speaker 1: a big campaign. I didn't want to be like Mike 660 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: in that I wanted to run the agency. But nonetheless, 661 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,479 Speaker 1: Hayden was a good guy. And uh then you also 662 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: sarahuckeby Sanders of this administration. But you're noticing a trend here, folks. 663 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,720 Speaker 1: Not a surprise at all. Right, A lot of action 664 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: taken on Russia by this administration. Action that is real. 665 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: It's not just words. It's not sitting around talking go 666 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: under summits giving interview, used to friendly press outlets, going 667 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: on MSNBC. You know we're gonna work together, bambministration is 668 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: gonna do things. We're gonna make it better. We're gonna 669 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,240 Speaker 1: work and we're gonna stop Russian. Uh. This is actually 670 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: Trump saying, okay, you know, you want to poison somebody 671 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,320 Speaker 1: with nova chalk in the UK, one of our closest 672 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,800 Speaker 1: allies in the whole world. There's there's gonna be consequences, 673 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: and they're going to be tailored to what is a 674 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: a response one would expect in this situation. Right, We're 675 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 1: not just it's not okay they use nova chalk. Now 676 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: we're about to, you know, land a marine expeditionary force 677 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: in St. Petersburg. But it is saying, hold on a second, 678 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: this is not okay. You guys gotta knock this stuff off. 679 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: See it's interesting, isn't it. You have so many people 680 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: that refer to Putin as a thug. You'll hear that 681 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 1: a lot. You'll hear about how You'll hear about how 682 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,399 Speaker 1: Putin is such a thug, he's such a bad guy. 683 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,800 Speaker 1: And then what they don't understand is they want a 684 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,760 Speaker 1: you win, multi e lateral, sit down, drink tea Davo 685 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: style push back to whatever Putin is doing. And the 686 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: trump bean approach is much more you know, look, I'm 687 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,280 Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and give all kinds of bluster 688 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 1: about how I don't like what Putin did in the elections, 689 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 1: I don't think. But when he steps out of line, 690 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: you know, he steps out of line, he's gonna get smacked. 691 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: And that's what happened here, right, This is I'm sure, 692 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: producer Mike, these are the same rules in certain neighborhoods 693 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: in Philly. You go to the outer boroughs in New York, 694 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: in Staten Island, for example, you step out of line, 695 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: you get smacked. Right, This is the Trump approach to 696 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 1: dealing with Russia. And sometimes there's a genius in simplicity, 697 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: or at least there's an effectiveness in simplicity. And I 698 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: think with with Trump on international affairs, because he isn't 699 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: trying to trying so hard to impress people with these 700 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:57,240 Speaker 1: degrees from various UH international relations institutes. A Fletcher School 701 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: at Toughs, George George Town's School of Foreign Service, the 702 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: Walsh School, JOHNS. Hopkins School of Advanced in International Studies, 703 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 1: Columbia's School of International Public Affairs SEA. But I mean, 704 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: go through all these places, You're like, Buck, why do 705 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: you know about these things? Who do you think you know? 706 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: These are people who go work in government. They're working. 707 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: They go from these schools and they go they become 708 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: the bureaucrats. Who are, you know, working at the State Department, 709 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: working at the you name it. And the truth is, 710 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: for a lot of them, it would just be better 711 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: to have some to focus on a life experience instead 712 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: of getting a master's degree. That's the equivalent of a 713 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: lot of reading assignments that you could do on your 714 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 1: own if you just had the time and the discipline. 715 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,760 Speaker 1: That's that's just that's the deal. So Trump is taking 716 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: this approach, and now you're seeing a shift in at 717 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 1: least that the punditocracy on the Russia issue. For now. 718 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: They will abandon this in a few weeks and we'll 719 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: be back to you know, Trump. You know, it's like 720 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: miss It's like Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in the silarium. 721 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 1: You know, it'll be Trump and putin stuffing ballot boxes 722 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. That's gonna be where they take us. Just 723 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,800 Speaker 1: give it some time for now. Though there's a little 724 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: bit of mm hmmm, what are we to make of this? 725 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do about the fact that 726 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: one of the dominant narratives from the media all along 727 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: has been, oh, do we have it Erry, the hunt 728 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: for Roud October M's like always gets me in the 729 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: mood for Russia analysis. So thank you Brandon on the board. 730 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: Now I'm now, I'm really ready to go. So one 731 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: of the main storylines all along has been that the 732 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: Trump approach to Russia is tainted by either their ability 733 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 1: to blackmail him or some bizarre and inexplicable favoritism that 734 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: Trump has when it comes to Russia. You know, all 735 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: these different things, and yet all in the actual policy issues, 736 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: Trump has been willing to do things that his predecessor 737 00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: Obama was not willing to do. And I think it's 738 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: in part because of the my my thesis here for 739 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: Trumps international relations. What pulse? Who's pulse? Or that. That 740 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: was one of my favorite moments with now famous for 741 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: very different reasons, lawyer Michael Cohen's who's pulse? You've got poles? 742 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: I got pulse? Who's pulse? On CNN? It was great. 743 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,240 Speaker 1: The anchor was like, the pulse, who's pulse? You've got poles? 744 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 1: They're wrong by the way those poles, Uh, the step 745 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: out of line, you get smacked. That's how you deal 746 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: with bullies. That's actually how you deal with a KGB thug. 747 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,439 Speaker 1: You get all these reporters running around saying he's a thug, 748 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:37,319 Speaker 1: he's a thug, and yet you don't have any way 749 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: to deal with that that's effective. And you've also got 750 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: to look at this from the perspective of let's assume 751 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: that what we all hear about Putin all the time 752 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: is is true. All all I can know about Putin 753 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: is what I've read about him. I have not yet, 754 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: despite comy bears and treatise on my behalf, I have 755 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 1: not yet gotten an invitation to the Kremlin to hang 756 00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: out with Putin, to go shirtless, uh, deer hunting and 757 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: go right around on. I don't know, elephants, whatever else 758 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,240 Speaker 1: he's got. I know they don't have elephants in Russia, 759 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: but you know he does all those cool things all 760 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: over the world. Right this is they've created a cult 761 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 1: of personality around him. It's a it's very clear that 762 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: he is the guy. He has now melded into the 763 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: state in a similar way to the Chinese premier Hijin Ping. 764 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 1: But how do you deal with somebody who is aggressive 765 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: in a bully, Well, you stand up to them, you 766 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: don't give them a you don't give them an excuse 767 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: to escalate necessarily. But if a bully pushes you, you 768 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,439 Speaker 1: push back. If if a bully pushes you, you you don't 769 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,919 Speaker 1: necessarily try to wind up and give him a Chuck 770 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 1: Norris style roundhouse kick to the nose, because one you'll 771 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 1: probably miss. Because high kicks are generally very ineffective in 772 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 1: street fights from what I've seen and been told by 773 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 1: people who are trained in these matters. And if you 774 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: think about it, it it makes sense. If I tried to 775 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,720 Speaker 1: throw a high kick, I would pull a hammy, no doubt. 776 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 1: You know I'm getting up there, I'm getting all and 777 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 1: that's not cool. No matter what kind of fights you're in, 778 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: you'ren't gonna go hold up, hold up, I just pulled something. 779 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: But you don't want to escalate beyond what the bully 780 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 1: is already doing. And that's why we're expelling diplomats. This 781 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: is there aren't that many things in our tool kit. 782 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,760 Speaker 1: Keep that in mind. We were already doing sanctions punishing 783 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: Russia economically, we are already taking diplomatic actions against them. 784 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 1: And remember that the single most important thing we have 785 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: done to box in the Russian States ambitions abroad and 786 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: to push back on Putin's belligerence. The single most important 787 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: thing I would argue is the share revolution in this 788 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: country that has brought the price of oil down so 789 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: much that the Russian economy, which is really a one 790 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,760 Speaker 1: trick pony, I mean, Russia is kind of like Saudi 791 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 1: Arabia plus the kgb um. That's the most important thing 792 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: that we've done, and that was done. Remember this, what 793 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 1: is it. The barrel of oil right now is sixty 794 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: four dollars. I Remembermber when it was like a hundred 795 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 1: twenty dollars. Yeah, and you you'd actually fill up a 796 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: gas tank. You're like, my camera, just eight fifty dollars. 797 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 1: You're like, oh my gosh, very expensive stuff. Uh. The 798 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 1: most important thing we've done is through essentially US prosperity, technology, innovation, ingenuity, energy. 799 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: That's been more important than any other policy we've had. 800 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: It's also the reason now Venezuela is in a terrible 801 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,800 Speaker 1: place of despair. But it's what's collapsed the Venezuelan regime, 802 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: the Iraqi regime. People don't often give them credit for this, 803 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: and this is just an aside for those of you 804 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 1: who are rock watchers and care but the Iraqis were like, no, no, 805 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: we're not going to budget for a very high price 806 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,399 Speaker 1: of oil going into the future. At least some years ago. 807 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 1: They seemed to have a little bit of foresight with 808 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: their budgeting, right, they didn't prepare for nothing but high 809 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: prices and oil for the foreseeable. It also is bringing 810 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,399 Speaker 1: about some degree re of reform in the Middle East. 811 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 1: I would note there's more of that, and this is 812 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 1: all the result of the private sector really in the 813 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 1: United States. So our most formidable weapon against a country 814 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,800 Speaker 1: that still has thousands of nuclear weapons, a very capable 815 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 1: advanced military, and not necessarily delusions of grandeur, but defer 816 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: definitely an inflated sense of its importance on the world stage, 817 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: has just been allowing our oil companies and our technology 818 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: to bring down the price of oil dramatically. Because remember this, 819 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,439 Speaker 1: the Russian oil industries are are state essentially state owned, 820 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 1: state backed enterprise. I mean there's some private sector of 821 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: a near but it's really the state makes all the decisions. 822 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 1: State is ros Neft in these other oil oil conglomerates. 823 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: They are essential for funding Russian government operations. I think 824 00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 1: Russia has a flat tax by the way, I think 825 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 1: it's like ten or fiftent Hey if it works for Russia, um, 826 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 1: but they have not been able to refit and and 827 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,399 Speaker 1: build out their military the way they'd like to because 828 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: they don't have the capital to do it. So I 829 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: just think that's a story that doesn't get told very much. 830 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, one of the reasons it's 831 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 1: not told to you and we we don't you don't 832 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,320 Speaker 1: have a media telling this is to the United States. 833 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 1: Has thanks to all the folks listening who work in 834 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 1: the ural industry, and thanks to those scientists in the 835 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:32,799 Speaker 1: private sector and and researchers who have created this revolution 836 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: in shale oil technology, we can get so much more 837 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 1: and it's so it gets put on the market cheaply. 838 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: And uh, this has changed geopolitics more than any policy 839 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: I can think of in the last well in the 840 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: post nine eleven era, really and for the better. And 841 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 1: you don't hear about it because, oh, that's right, the 842 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:55,799 Speaker 1: Obama administration opposed it every step of the way. No 843 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 1: no offshore drilling, no drilling on federal land, no drilling 844 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 1: on in or fracking is bad. Remember when there was 845 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 1: that whole effort to say that fracking was gonna poison 846 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: all of our drinking water. There was a guy who 847 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,879 Speaker 1: made some documentary, total total wacko, by the way, I've 848 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 1: seen him on I can't remember his name right now, 849 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,359 Speaker 1: but it was gas Land. I think it was gas 850 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: Land was the name of the documentary. So, I mean, 851 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: it's like maybe ten years ago. You know, I'm human Google, 852 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: but I'm imprecise. You know, you gotta fact check the 853 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,319 Speaker 1: human Google over here, which I guess it means I'm 854 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 1: not actually Google. But the whole premise is that you 855 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,360 Speaker 1: got everybody with all this gas underground and shale oil, 856 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 1: and we're all gonna it's all gonna poison us, right, Mike, Yeah, 857 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 1: that guy running around, We're all are drinking water is 858 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 1: all getting poisoned because of shale. Oh, we need to 859 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 1: pass legislation in New York to protect the well the 860 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,879 Speaker 1: New York Watershed from shale. It's it's all. It's not true. 861 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:49,800 Speaker 1: This has all been complete. Sky is falling. I was 862 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: gonna say Silence of the Lambs, it was actually boy 863 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,960 Speaker 1: who cried wolf. That's what I meant to say. I'm 864 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,239 Speaker 1: getting my I'm mixing metaphors in a big way. No, no no, 865 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 1: sid it uses the low shot or it gets the hose. 866 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 1: That's a very different, very different metaphor to use. So yeah, 867 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 1: um boy, who cried wolf? Though with the shale oil situation, 868 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 1: is is apt. They were saying it would be so 869 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: bad it would poison our drinking water. Meanwhile, if you 870 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,880 Speaker 1: want to see why Vladimir Putin is a lot of 871 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 1: bluster and isn't nearly as effective on the world stage 872 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 1: as he would like to be, forget about anything and 873 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,320 Speaker 1: including honestly, Trump policy up to this point. And Trump's 874 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,319 Speaker 1: done good stuff, but he hasn't been in office that long. 875 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 1: Bringing the price of oil down dramatically and having the 876 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: United States become the world's energy producing superpower is a 877 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,840 Speaker 1: single most important thing, and that was done over the 878 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 1: strenuous objections of the Obama administration, of the environmentalist lobby 879 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party. So thanks for nothing, lefties, No 880 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,560 Speaker 1: surprise there. I don't mean that like for people who 881 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,839 Speaker 1: are left handed. Although if we're really going to get 882 00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,440 Speaker 1: into it, the term sinister comes from the Latin on left, 883 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 1: and those of you who remember your Bible know that 884 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 1: one of the ways that an assassination was pulled off 885 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 1: was by hiding a weapon on the left side because 886 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: they only checked the right. It was considered kind of 887 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 1: cheating to be left handed. So there's that. I gotta 888 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:15,920 Speaker 1: go to our sponsor this half hour before we move on, 889 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 1: and it's G four Tequila. Look, I am a guy 890 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:23,359 Speaker 1: who enjoys kicking back with a delicious adult beverage after 891 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 1: a long day or at the end of the week, 892 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 1: and you just can't do any better than G four tequila. 893 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,880 Speaker 1: This stuff is absolutely delicious. It comes from the L. 894 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 1: Pandillo Distillery. These are people who take their tequila very, 895 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 1: very seriously. They honor the traditional methods of making tequila 896 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:45,280 Speaker 1: and the master tequila distiller here is a guy who's 897 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 1: been in the business for years. They cooked their agave evenly. 898 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: It takes twenty two hours. Folks, this process, I mean 899 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 1: they this is painstaking. They are craftsmen. This is artisan tequila. 900 00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 1: If you try it, it's my favorite, and I think 901 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be your favorite. To give it a shot. 902 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 1: G four Tequila, craft your own luxury. G four Tequila. 903 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 1: Give it a shot and a team will be right back. 904 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:16,799 Speaker 1: What his names that I can say you a fact 905 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,920 Speaker 1: that names of Justice phone members of who you in 906 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 1: an affair way, it wouldn't make it true. It is 907 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,279 Speaker 1: completely If you went on the radio and said that 908 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,320 Speaker 1: Blue Clinton is the father mallegitimate black child, you would 909 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 1: be laughed at. People would think you're crazy. I guarantee 910 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,320 Speaker 1: you that if you do this, you'll never work in 911 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 1: democratic politics again. Maybe you don't want it. I'm not 912 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 1: saying it matters. You will be embarrassed before the National 913 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 1: Press Corps, people will think nobody will believe you, and 914 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:54,239 Speaker 1: people will think you're scumming that. The alternative is you 915 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,160 Speaker 1: don't do it. It causes you some temporary pain with 916 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 1: people who tomorrow aren't gonna matter, and you have a 917 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 1: campaign that understands it. In a difficult time. You did 918 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 1: something right. Um, and you know that's important. I mean 919 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anything. We can't do anything for you 920 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,839 Speaker 1: specifically or anything like that, but you, uh, you know 921 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: that you did the right thing. So that's George Stephanopolis. 922 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: As a flashback included in the Freedom Hunt packet Today 923 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: producer Mike what what was the context for this? By 924 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 1: the way, when when was this going on? This is 925 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,560 Speaker 1: way back in the day. This is Stephanopolis, the political 926 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:35,480 Speaker 1: operative threatening a journalist. It sounds like, yeah, it's actually 927 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 1: from thementary called the War Room. Um it was. It 928 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: took place during um the president presidential campaign. Interesting, Yes, 929 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:51,839 Speaker 1: Stephanopolis a guy who was somehow able to transition from 930 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: being a straight up political operative to to a newsman. 931 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,720 Speaker 1: And everyone's like, oh, he's just a newsman. H Mmm, 932 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,279 Speaker 1: how does that work? That reminds me. You know what 933 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 1: I got this week? Actually, I'm gonna see chap a Quittic. 934 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna that is on my list of things that 935 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 1: I need to see. I'm excited that someone made her, 936 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,320 Speaker 1: or I'm thankful probably even a better word, that somebody 937 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,400 Speaker 1: made a movie about what happened in Chapa Quittic with 938 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,840 Speaker 1: Teddy Kennedy. It is somewhat astonishing, though, that here we are, 939 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,680 Speaker 1: this many years later, and it's only after Teddy Kennedy 940 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 1: has passed away and there's really not a Kennedy that's 941 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 1: in the stable that's supposed to take over. You know 942 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 1: that the Kennedy throne and the fact that there's even 943 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: a Kennedy throne is terrible, folks. I am opposed to 944 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,400 Speaker 1: political dynasties, I really, you know, it's one of the 945 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: one of the big problems I have with with Jeb. 946 00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,319 Speaker 1: I didn't like it about George w not gonna lie. 947 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 1: I hated about the Clintons, And I think we need 948 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,720 Speaker 1: to be consistent on this one. One of the biggest 949 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,120 Speaker 1: things that separates the right from a left in this country, 950 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:03,040 Speaker 1: conservatives from liberals, is our are our willingness to say 951 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 1: things even when we don't want to or even when 952 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:06,960 Speaker 1: it's not the most fun thing to say, because we 953 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 1: don't want to be hypocrites. Right, we need to hold 954 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 1: onto that. It's important. I'm saying we're perfect. I'm just 955 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 1: saying the left embraces hypocrisy means to an end whatever 956 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,279 Speaker 1: you know, what's fine in one case is not fine, 957 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:18,800 Speaker 1: and the other depends on whether it's a D or 958 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 1: an R by the person's name. And we see this 959 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:26,280 Speaker 1: with the whole fiasco over Trump and the alleged affairs 960 00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 1: versus the way they treated Clinton, the way they treated Kennedy, 961 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:34,799 Speaker 1: the JFK and Teddy Kennedy Um, the way that they 962 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 1: covered for uh. John Edwards wouldn't touch that story for 963 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 1: the longest time, and that was really he is the 964 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 1: fact that he was so close to being president is 965 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 1: really to this day still one of the one of 966 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 1: the moments where I start to question this, this whole 967 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: experiment we call America, like, you're gonna make this ambulance 968 00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:01,440 Speaker 1: chaser who's lying to everybody repeatedly all TV about cheating 969 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,320 Speaker 1: on his cancer stricken wife who he uses at campaign 970 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 1: rallies for sympathy. I mean, the whole thing was just 971 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:13,080 Speaker 1: beyond appalling. But the media was, you know, they do 972 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,880 Speaker 1: whatever they want to do. All this stuff. The Stephanopolis thing, 973 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 1: I just I never heard Stephanopolis gets so fierce. That 974 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:40,960 Speaker 1: was that was interesting. He's back with you now, because 975 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck 976 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 1: never stops. Oh boy, the Facebook stuff continues here. I've 977 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 1: I will give myself a little paddle the pack because 978 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,240 Speaker 1: while everybody else was, oh my gosh, Facebook is combing 979 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 1: for you, I was like, Facebook has been doing this 980 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:02,560 Speaker 1: all along, folks. It's not new. There is There is 981 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:08,960 Speaker 1: nothing about Facebook aggregating your your data and using it 982 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,400 Speaker 1: and trying to sell it at a profit that is 983 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,400 Speaker 1: it any way different. And I'm happy that we're finally 984 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,360 Speaker 1: seeing what's going on here. By the numbers those of 985 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: you listening to this show, I think I want to 986 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,359 Speaker 1: say of the Country is on the problem with doing 987 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 1: statistics off the top of your head. You know, I'm 988 00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 1: just it's a freestyle three hour radio show and I 989 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: just say things. I think of the Country has a 990 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,319 Speaker 1: Facebook account. Maybe it's I don't know. I'm gonna take 991 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 1: a mulligan on this one. It's a lot though most 992 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 1: of you listening have a Facebook account. I don't know 993 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 1: how much you use it or not, but it is. 994 00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 1: It is the dominant social media platform by far in 995 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 1: terms of overall usage and percentage of people who are 996 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 1: are involved with Facebook in some way. So it's it's 997 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,000 Speaker 1: a b a myth, okay, and it's got a tremendous 998 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,080 Speaker 1: it really. It has the budget of a pretty good 999 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:04,439 Speaker 1: sized country. And it is a a force in economics, 1000 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 1: a force in in our economy in ways that we're 1001 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,000 Speaker 1: just beginning to really understand. But here's the latest on this, 1002 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,799 Speaker 1: and this one's courtesy of p J Media. I saw this, um, 1003 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 1: I saw this one on Drudge and he goes as 1004 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:27,040 Speaker 1: follow us quote Cambridge Analytical Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wiley appearing 1005 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 1: before a committee of British MPs on Tuesday. So that 1006 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,480 Speaker 1: Facebook has the ability to spy on users in their 1007 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: homes and offices. The British Parliament is investigating Cambridge Analytica's 1008 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 1: involvement in the Brexit election. MP Damian Collins, who chaired 1009 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 1: the committee, asked, why is you know, Wiley? Yeah, whether 1010 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,160 Speaker 1: Facebook has the ability to listen to what people are 1011 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 1: talking about in order to better target them with ads. Quote, 1012 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,680 Speaker 1: There's been various speculation about the fact that Facebook can, 1013 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:02,120 Speaker 1: through the Facebook app on your smartphone, listen into what 1014 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 1: people are talking about and discussing and using that to 1015 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 1: prioritize the advertising as well. Other people would say no, 1016 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: they don't think it's possible. It's just that the Facebook 1017 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,440 Speaker 1: system is so good at predicting what you're interested in 1018 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 1: that it can guess. He asked for Wiley's thoughts on 1019 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,480 Speaker 1: the possibility, and Wiley said, there's audio that could be useful, 1020 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,760 Speaker 1: just in terms of are you in an office environment, 1021 00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,919 Speaker 1: are you outside? Are you watching TV? Facebook mean, while 1022 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,480 Speaker 1: denies allegations that its app listens in on people. Look, 1023 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this, Siri, I don't trust Siri, 1024 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 1: I don't trust Alexa. I turn all those things off 1025 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,000 Speaker 1: because when series on on my phone and I'm not 1026 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 1: some paranoid guy. Are you paranoid? Sexton? Are you ready 1027 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:47,200 Speaker 1: for what's coming? Bill? The Burgh's camp trails. Oh yeah, 1028 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 1: it's nothing. Just look at them up at the sky. 1029 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:53,920 Speaker 1: There's nothing there, just camp trails. Nothing, nothing happened. But no, seriously, 1030 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 1: I turn off of what what not? Alexa? Alexe is 1031 00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 1: the other one, right? Alexe is all it? Alexa? Are 1032 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,440 Speaker 1: you working for the government? Alexa? That was one of 1033 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,080 Speaker 1: my favorite clips. If we have that, By the way, 1034 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 1: should we should play that just because it's fun. He's 1035 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,840 Speaker 1: an incredible performance artist. I give him credit for that. Um. 1036 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,480 Speaker 1: But the serie thing, the serie thing, I sound like, oh, 1037 00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 1: the serie thing on my phone. It's hard to press 1038 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 1: the buttons and I can't get it to work. Dad, 1039 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:26,480 Speaker 1: nabb it. But the serie whatever it is, app function. 1040 00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,560 Speaker 1: I believe the serie function did this thing when I 1041 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 1: got a phone that actually had it on, where all 1042 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,240 Speaker 1: of a sudden it would go like no, like I 1043 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:37,280 Speaker 1: do not know where the pizza party is. I'm like, whoa, whoa, 1044 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,240 Speaker 1: No one's talking to you. It would it's occasionally maybe 1045 00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 1: this is just a malfunction on my phone, but it 1046 00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,160 Speaker 1: would pick up, you know, if you left it on, 1047 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 1: or if I left it on, it would pick up 1048 00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,640 Speaker 1: what I had said and would respond to it. And 1049 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some techy explanation for this or whatever, 1050 00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,200 Speaker 1: but that to me means it has to have an 1051 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,720 Speaker 1: active microphone on while I'm talking. And if it has 1052 00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 1: an active microphone on, you've got a couple of possibilities. 1053 00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 1: One is that at least it is very possible that 1054 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,800 Speaker 1: somebody could hack into your phone and be listened to everything, 1055 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:12,000 Speaker 1: and they would hear my long conversations, uh with miss 1056 01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 1: Molly about how I really just think that this is 1057 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:19,000 Speaker 1: the best aoli for my frozen chicken tenders, which is 1058 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 1: pretty much my I have a few weaknesses in life. Bacon, 1059 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:27,200 Speaker 1: frozen chicken tenders, chocolate, whole milk, tequila that's pretty and 1060 01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 1: wine those are that's the list. Really. If you give 1061 01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,520 Speaker 1: me all that, I'm in pretty owing steak, obviously, but 1062 01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,440 Speaker 1: I'm in pretty good shape. If you're giving all those things, 1063 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 1: maybe you can put some greens on my plate so 1064 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:42,640 Speaker 1: I seem healthy. Uh. But I didn't like that this 1065 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,720 Speaker 1: would pick up the words that I was that are 1066 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,880 Speaker 1: were the words that I was saying the things that 1067 01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 1: I was saying, and it would get processed through some 1068 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,160 Speaker 1: kind of you know, computer algorithm, and it would it 1069 01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:59,600 Speaker 1: would make decisions based on what I was saying, and 1070 01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:03,600 Speaker 1: it did necessarily wait for me to prompt it. So 1071 01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 1: if we were thinking about this from a counterintelligence perspective, 1072 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 1: let me just say this would be you have to 1073 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:11,800 Speaker 1: think of this as a nightmare. Right. You're gonna walk 1074 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:16,160 Speaker 1: around with it with a microphone that is always enabled 1075 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,480 Speaker 1: and that is always connected to the web or to 1076 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 1: your cell phone, to the cell towers, and you're just 1077 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 1: hoping that not only is there good enough encryption to 1078 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,960 Speaker 1: stop hackers, but you're trusting any company that you put 1079 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 1: an app on your phone that they're not going to 1080 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 1: misuse or abuse this data. Now, you know, I would 1081 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 1: say that I'm sounding a little paranoid, but I also 1082 01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,360 Speaker 1: know people who really do the thing. And producer Mike 1083 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,919 Speaker 1: Brandon either you do this where they put the piece 1084 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,760 Speaker 1: of tape on there on the top of their computer 1085 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 1: where the camera is because they know that it can 1086 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,280 Speaker 1: be turned on and turned off. I think a lot 1087 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: of this is kind of like the local news stories 1088 01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 1: you'll see where it's like can somebody hack into your 1089 01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 1: baby monitor and they had put up a photo of 1090 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,920 Speaker 1: like some creepy guy in a sweatshirt and just you know, 1091 01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 1: you can't see his face. They're like News at eleven. 1092 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, of course somebody could hack into a 1093 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,640 Speaker 1: a baby monitor, I guess technologically speaking, but I think 1094 01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,760 Speaker 1: they're doing a bit of fearmongering to get people to 1095 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,400 Speaker 1: tune in. You know, it's like is your toothpaste killing you? 1096 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,880 Speaker 1: News at eleven. There's a lot of that. But you know, 1097 01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 1: you start thinking about what is really possible in this 1098 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,520 Speaker 1: world we live in now and how we all uh 1099 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:27,720 Speaker 1: we all carry around with us active microphones, we carry 1100 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:32,320 Speaker 1: surveillance devices on us. You know, if you were if 1101 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:38,200 Speaker 1: you were trying to walk around East Germany Circle and 1102 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:43,040 Speaker 1: Vistazi was able to give you a device that could 1103 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:47,040 Speaker 1: that was a recording device, a locational device, a video device, 1104 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:50,360 Speaker 1: and you could have it with you at all times. 1105 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,680 Speaker 1: The Stasi would have been like, oh my gosh, this 1106 01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:56,360 Speaker 1: is crazy, but they would have been very happy because 1107 01:02:56,360 --> 01:03:00,760 Speaker 1: it's much more, uh, it is much more effect of surveillance. 1108 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:02,960 Speaker 1: And they were even able to do with their enormous 1109 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 1: network of informants, which I then, now I have to 1110 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,720 Speaker 1: give you my requisite plug for the Lives of Others 1111 01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:14,000 Speaker 1: das Leben Derander. In a few of you actually speak 1112 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,080 Speaker 1: fluent German, and whenever I do anything in German on 1113 01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,160 Speaker 1: the show, you completely call me out on Facebook. So 1114 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm prepared for that. That's fine, but it's it's a 1115 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,080 Speaker 1: wonderful movie The Lives of Others. Highly highly recommended.

But we need to understand 1128 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,320 Speaker 1: that these platforms like Facebook and the technology that we 1129 01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 1: carry around with us. It all comes with risks. It 1130 01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:03,360 Speaker 1: all is changing the way we interact, you know, I 1131 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 1: keep saying it, and it's gonna it's gonna be like 1132 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,440 Speaker 1: the drug cartels and opiate overdoses. I was saying that 1133 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:09,800 Speaker 1: for quite a while on the show. I'm like, no 1134 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,200 Speaker 1: one else is saying it. Now everyone's saying so like, wow, Buck, 1135 01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 1: how'd you know? Uh, the biggest change in crime and 1136 01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 1: criminal behavior in this country we've seen over the last 1137 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,360 Speaker 1: thirty or forty years is there. I don't care anyone 1138 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 1: said they could talk broken windows theory. They you know, 1139 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 1: you could. You could read freakonomics and which I think 1140 01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,080 Speaker 1: is garbage on this issue. But there's a and you 1141 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:33,320 Speaker 1: can say whatever you want. It's technology. It's that you 1142 01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 1: are carrying around the ability to in real time photograph, 1143 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:43,640 Speaker 1: live stream video, communicate with text, message with GEO, locate 1144 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,320 Speaker 1: all of us all the time, and we're all connected. 1145 01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,520 Speaker 1: You can speak to a non one one operator in 1146 01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,240 Speaker 1: a matter of seconds. All of us can all the time. 1147 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,040 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe this is a bad thing. And heaven 1148 01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 1: forbid any of these stuff about radiation and like carrying 1149 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,400 Speaker 1: radiation in your pocket. You know, it's there's there's some 1150 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,480 Speaker 1: there's actually some you want to talk about conspiracy, oh, 1151 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:04,800 Speaker 1: I got one for you. But if you want to 1152 01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 1: talk about conspiracies, the possible destructive effects of selling their 1153 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:16,160 Speaker 1: technology as it as it uh as it affects uh 1154 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: tumor growth and and cancer and things like that. That's 1155 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,200 Speaker 1: people say it's it's not bad for you, and it's fine, 1156 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 1: But then all the people are like, well there was 1157 01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,640 Speaker 1: this study, and you know, who really knows how all 1158 01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,760 Speaker 1: this stuff affects you. I have big concerns about it. 1159 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,400 Speaker 1: Um Over the long term, I started to see people 1160 01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,960 Speaker 1: who who are like carrying around radiation shielded phones now 1161 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:37,960 Speaker 1: and stuff. I've seen some there's some stuff out there 1162 01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:42,040 Speaker 1: which hey, at least it is definitely a conversation start. 1163 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,440 Speaker 1: If you're on a date, she's like, what's that, and 1164 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 1: you're like, don't worry about that, honey, it's my radiation shield, 1165 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,160 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I've got one that's actually 1166 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,480 Speaker 1: from my computer that I you know, I guess you 1167 01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,440 Speaker 1: gotta protect what's precious in life. So I put it. 1168 01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 1: You gotta put it across your lap. We put the 1169 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,080 Speaker 1: laptop on top of it. There you go. Um. We 1170 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,680 Speaker 1: were talking about Facebook. I think in Facebook Analytica. But 1171 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:08,320 Speaker 1: things took a little of a turn, and I just 1172 01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,640 Speaker 1: was sharing you some of Buck's philosophy of all the things, 1173 01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:16,200 Speaker 1: Buck's theory of everything. If you will probably too soon, um, 1174 01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:20,640 Speaker 1: eight four four to five eight four buck, I'll be 1175 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 1: right back. Yeah. Occasionally I like to share some stories 1176 01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:52,680 Speaker 1: with you that are are uplifting, actually, um, and I 1177 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,080 Speaker 1: like to be able to sit here and tell you 1178 01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:56,920 Speaker 1: about something that makes us off a little bit good. 1179 01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:04,480 Speaker 1: You know. Usually Facebook is is a a place, UM, 1180 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:06,520 Speaker 1: a place or or a Twitter is a place where 1181 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,960 Speaker 1: you'll see all kinds of nastiness and people just say 1182 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,400 Speaker 1: that they say really mean things to each other and 1183 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:15,160 Speaker 1: they're just big, mean meanings and it's not cool. You know. 1184 01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,560 Speaker 1: You get a lot of that. Um. Usually that's the 1185 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:23,280 Speaker 1: case with Facebook. But sometimes, as you know, I was 1186 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,080 Speaker 1: beating up on it a lot before, but sometimes they 1187 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 1: can be a place for good. Nice things happen, right, 1188 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:33,440 Speaker 1: People actually build there. And I'm being smug about all this. 1189 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,120 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people. They're nice. People are nice 1190 01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,200 Speaker 1: on social media. That's what you're kind of funding out. 1191 01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,280 Speaker 1: People who are actually good people in their day to 1192 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 1: day lives are good people on social media, people who 1193 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:47,280 Speaker 1: are angry and hateful and spiteful that tends to come 1194 01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,560 Speaker 1: across in the way that they interact with others. And 1195 01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure all of you listening know what I'm talking about. 1196 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,880 Speaker 1: It has never crossed my mind. For example, two even 1197 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 1: before I was in public life in some capacity, you know, 1198 01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 1: being a radio dude, But it would never cross my 1199 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:07,840 Speaker 1: mind to write something really mean about public figures appearance 1200 01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,200 Speaker 1: and send it to them, right, particularly to do that 1201 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,720 Speaker 1: for a lady. I just think that's terrible. And people 1202 01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,240 Speaker 1: do that stuff, do it all the time. I used 1203 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 1: to see. I used to get angry on behalf of 1204 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,599 Speaker 1: some of my colleagues at The Blaze who were women 1205 01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,559 Speaker 1: who would get stuff written to them that was there 1206 01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:29,360 Speaker 1: was just it would embarrass any normal person to write 1207 01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 1: such a thing.

He's back with you now because when it 1298 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,639 Speaker 1: comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. 1299 01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:41,200 Speaker 1: This is a wom star. Why are we giving it 1300 01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:44,599 Speaker 1: any credibility? The fact that she now wants to come 1301 01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:50,120 Speaker 1: out with a story because she's afraid of her children? Goodness, 1302 01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:53,320 Speaker 1: would you tell the kiddos about your full time job. 1303 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,240 Speaker 1: I know that when I voted for him, I wasn't 1304 01:13:56,360 --> 01:14:00,760 Speaker 1: voting for a quiet boy. Someone is looking shopping for 1305 01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,600 Speaker 1: these people to come out of the woodwork because it 1306 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,559 Speaker 1: is demeaning to our president. You can throw all that 1307 01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,280 Speaker 1: stuff up in our face as many times as you want, 1308 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,200 Speaker 1: but that means that we will work harder for Trump. 1309 01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:14,599 Speaker 1: Is that not so, lady? That's correct. This is the 1310 01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:18,880 Speaker 1: media defining the narrative the people. We the people are 1311 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:22,360 Speaker 1: ready to define the narrative. You're looking for a way 1312 01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:26,599 Speaker 1: to impeach my president that I worked very hard for. 1313 01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 1: Welcome to our three of the buck Sexton showing my 1314 01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:34,719 Speaker 1: friends that was a collection of Trump supporters, Lady, Trump 1315 01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: supporters who are just not having it with the whole 1316 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:42,360 Speaker 1: story d annuals narrative. They do not care, or if 1317 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,080 Speaker 1: they care, it would be fair to say they only care, 1318 01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,479 Speaker 1: and so much as they think that the media is 1319 01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:53,360 Speaker 1: being deeply hypocritical about this and the allegations are either 1320 01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 1: unfounded or unimportant to them as voters for for Trump. 1321 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,200 Speaker 1: There is a special kind of gall that is on 1322 01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 1: display when you see a situation like this where you 1323 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,960 Speaker 1: have many of the people pushing the story over at 1324 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:13,880 Speaker 1: the different networks a non Fox media. Many of those 1325 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,960 Speaker 1: who are pushing the story the hardest were among the 1326 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:23,880 Speaker 1: most stalwart defenders of Clinton during the effort to try 1327 01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,439 Speaker 1: and cover up what was really going on with Clinton, 1328 01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:28,880 Speaker 1: and not just the philandering, but the sexual harassment lying 1329 01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:34,280 Speaker 1: under oath, the sexual assaults. This they don't care though, 1330 01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,920 Speaker 1: now that they were covering up for Clinton and that 1331 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,160 Speaker 1: now they're on on the war path against the Trump 1332 01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:45,120 Speaker 1: administration doesn't matter to them. It's all about a purpose. 1333 01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:46,640 Speaker 1: You know, we had a clip that I didn't get 1334 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:48,080 Speaker 1: a chance to play for you yesterday, but there was 1335 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 1: a young journalist who's talking about how journalism is actually activism. 1336 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:56,960 Speaker 1: Can producer, Mike, if you if you grab that one 1337 01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:59,120 Speaker 1: from yesterday, let me know, because I thought it was 1338 01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 1: so important for everyone to hear that that's really the 1339 01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,759 Speaker 1: mentality now, and that's becoming more and more the case 1340 01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 1: that it's out there for us all to see journalism 1341 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:16,479 Speaker 1: as activism is becoming the inescapable reality of a vast 1342 01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:20,439 Speaker 1: majority of the media outlets that are out there. So 1343 01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:22,679 Speaker 1: when that all of a sudden is the case, when 1344 01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:28,040 Speaker 1: you don't have professional ethics anymore, you have ideological goals? 1345 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:33,479 Speaker 1: What is not what? What is no longer acceptable? If 1346 01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:38,080 Speaker 1: it is okay for people to do whatever they can 1347 01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:42,519 Speaker 1: to stop Trump, then isn't it fair to say that 1348 01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:46,720 Speaker 1: we've seen the end of the notion of journalism as 1349 01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 1: a major force in American politics? Right? If they embrace activism, 1350 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:56,120 Speaker 1: they're openly about being activists because they can't hide it anymore. 1351 01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they can only play games for so long. 1352 01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,639 Speaker 1: If they do that, then don't we think it's fair 1353 01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:09,080 Speaker 1: to say that journalism is really atory, it's it's an 1354 01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:13,880 Speaker 1: anachronism or becoming an anachronism. Now on the actual story 1355 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:17,240 Speaker 1: Daniels thing for a second a few days. One is 1356 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,120 Speaker 1: I gotta say, if if in fact that that this 1357 01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:23,920 Speaker 1: is true, let's all let's all get on the same 1358 01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,400 Speaker 1: page without I know you already. It's it's it's bad conduct. 1359 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,640 Speaker 1: It is. It is reprehensible, it's not okay, it's not 1360 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,720 Speaker 1: a not a not an all right thing to do. 1361 01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:34,680 Speaker 1: To be a married man with a newborn baby. Be 1362 01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:38,799 Speaker 1: a merryman, period, but merryman, newborn baby, and you're running around. 1363 01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:42,439 Speaker 1: So if you believe that Trump did this, we all 1364 01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,559 Speaker 1: need to understand it's reprehensible behavior. But it doesn't mean 1365 01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:47,960 Speaker 1: that I can't support the agenda anymore and that he's 1366 01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,400 Speaker 1: no longer a good politician doesn't change the view of 1367 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,479 Speaker 1: what the actual platform is and what the goals are 1368 01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 1: for the country. If you don't believe it, of course, 1369 01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,120 Speaker 1: well then you just think this is a media smear campaign. 1370 01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:03,000 Speaker 1: And but i's we can all agree the conduct is bad. Oh, 1371 01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:06,080 Speaker 1: we've got this play play the activist. This is she's 1372 01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,519 Speaker 1: from like the the Eagle journal or something. What was 1373 01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:11,559 Speaker 1: it called Eagle I believe it was the Eagle Eye. Oh, 1374 01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,160 Speaker 1: that sounds kind of intense. Play it out of Parkland 1375 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:18,640 Speaker 1: students becoming activists journalists. Do you see a difference right 1376 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,920 Speaker 1: now between journalism and activism and what you're doing? I 1377 01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,840 Speaker 1: think that for me, the purpose of journalism is to raise, 1378 01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, the voices of people that maybe don't have 1379 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:29,559 Speaker 1: a voice. And so I think that in its own right, 1380 01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:33,000 Speaker 1: journalism is a form of activism. And I think that 1381 01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:35,840 Speaker 1: there is distinctions for me, um, you know, as a 1382 01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 1: journalist and also as someone that wants to demand change. 1383 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,280 Speaker 1: But I think that the partnership of the two is 1384 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,639 Speaker 1: the only reason that we are able to make a change. 1385 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,800 Speaker 1: Journalisms great. Can you answer this Christian from me? I'm 1386 01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:50,200 Speaker 1: the one with the show one seeing variance, doth reportice 1387 01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:55,400 Speaker 1: what she said, journalism is a form of activism. Okay, Well, 1388 01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:59,960 Speaker 1: in that case, journalism is a form of politics. Journalist 1389 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:01,880 Speaker 1: was a former propaganda. You know, we we could play 1390 01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:05,760 Speaker 1: this game all day. But I actually, I'm not trying 1391 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,400 Speaker 1: to put that young woman down. I think she's articulating 1392 01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,519 Speaker 1: what they all think. She's just saying it. And you 1393 01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:13,960 Speaker 1: see it with everything we talked about here on the show, 1394 01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:15,880 Speaker 1: whether it's all the way from Stormy Daniels to Trump 1395 01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:18,439 Speaker 1: is in Russia's pocket too, Oh my gosh, the trade 1396 01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:20,759 Speaker 1: war is gonna destroy this country. Oh my gosh. Trump 1397 01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,320 Speaker 1: is you know, the worst president in the history of presidence, 1398 01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:27,800 Speaker 1: all of it. You see it on display constantly, and 1399 01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:30,519 Speaker 1: it's it's never going to be the same. There's no 1400 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,519 Speaker 1: putting the genie back in the bottle, so to speak. 1401 01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:34,840 Speaker 1: Is that a microaggression now, by the way, the whole 1402 01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,600 Speaker 1: genie in a bottle thing is that like an appropriation 1403 01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:41,439 Speaker 1: of of Mid East culture. It's so few people even 1404 01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:44,840 Speaker 1: know it comes from Arabian nights. And you know, there's 1405 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:47,120 Speaker 1: actually a backtra It's not from Aladdin. Disney didn't just 1406 01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,799 Speaker 1: come up with this out of nowhere, but Arabian Nights. 1407 01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,160 Speaker 1: Remember that. It's amazing. That was like not really close, 1408 01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:57,600 Speaker 1: but it was okay. It kind of it kind of 1409 01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:59,120 Speaker 1: gotten you in the mood for a second for some 1410 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,559 Speaker 1: Aladdin I had a professor a long time ago who 1411 01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:06,679 Speaker 1: used to go on this this tirade or Tara Day 1412 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,000 Speaker 1: if you're really fancy.

Uh. 1457 01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:49,800 Speaker 1: You see some people who are well clear on what 1458 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,200 Speaker 1: they want, which is they want to repeal the Second Amendment. 1459 01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:56,360 Speaker 1: They don't want to tinker with it, they don't wanna 1460 01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: nibble around the edges. They don't want to cut the 1461 01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:02,439 Speaker 1: cookie into pieces. They wanted to be gone, Googie monster. 1462 01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:08,080 Speaker 1: They wanted to be gone. And The Times published in 1463 01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:11,200 Speaker 1: order to make that case as strongly as they possibly could, 1464 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:17,920 Speaker 1: The Times published in editorial by none other then the 1465 01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:25,160 Speaker 1: retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. Now in perfect 1466 01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:30,280 Speaker 1: this is as as classic as it gets. Folks, John 1467 01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:34,040 Speaker 1: Paul Stevens, repeal the Second Amendment is the title. But 1468 01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:35,920 Speaker 1: this is the most New York Times thing ever. At 1469 01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:40,000 Speaker 1: the top of the article they and this is featured 1470 01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:42,960 Speaker 1: on their editorial page. It just went up. What was 1471 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,840 Speaker 1: it today? I think, um, they've got a picture of 1472 01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:50,479 Speaker 1: a must get in a picture of and a R 1473 01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:55,240 Speaker 1: fift or maybe it's a holl whatever they're calling it. 1474 01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:59,120 Speaker 1: It's all rifle. But at the bottom they had to 1475 01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,200 Speaker 1: append this correction to this New York Times piece. An 1476 01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:08,000 Speaker 1: earlier version of a picture captioned with this article misidentified 1477 01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:12,200 Speaker 1: the eighteenth century firearm depicted It is a musket, not 1478 01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:19,160 Speaker 1: a rifle. What a shock here we have the New 1479 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:23,240 Speaker 1: York Times in an editorial. They're literally saying they want 1480 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,640 Speaker 1: to get rid of the Second Amendment. I mean they 1481 01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:29,280 Speaker 1: are actually just coming out and saying it, you know, 1482 01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:33,400 Speaker 1: get rid of the Second Amendment. And they misidentify a 1483 01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,880 Speaker 1: firearm at the top of the article, and not by 1484 01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:37,720 Speaker 1: like a little bit. You know. It's not like they said, oh, 1485 01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:39,519 Speaker 1: it's an A R fifteen and it's actually an M 1486 01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,680 Speaker 1: for you know, something like that. No, no, no, you know, 1487 01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,160 Speaker 1: people make mistakes. I used to remember when I worked 1488 01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 1: at The Blaze, at the website, and we would all 1489 01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,440 Speaker 1: joke around about how you could get away with typos 1490 01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 1: here and there. You know, you make an error. We're 1491 01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:55,840 Speaker 1: posting a lot of stories all day. This was the 1492 01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:59,080 Speaker 1: old days, the Blaze dot com. And uh, you know 1493 01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:04,519 Speaker 1: I was. I was hired as an assistant assistant editor 1494 01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:08,840 Speaker 1: for Nashal for intelligence and technology, I think, And I 1495 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:09,960 Speaker 1: was like, all right, first of all, I don't really 1496 01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,240 Speaker 1: know any about technology. Second of all, I'm the national 1497 01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:13,960 Speaker 1: security guy, so why don't we call it that? So 1498 01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,960 Speaker 1: we changed it in time. But anyway, uh, but I 1499 01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 1: remember the one thing that you could not could not 1500 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:24,719 Speaker 1: get away with making any mistakes on was firearms related. 1501 01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:29,880 Speaker 1: If you found yourself, if you find yourself riding in 1502 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:31,920 Speaker 1: fields with the sun on your face. Do not be 1503 01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:35,240 Speaker 1: alarmed for you r in Elysium. No, but if you 1504 01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:43,479 Speaker 1: found yourself writing something that was incorrect about firearms, um, 1505 01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:49,160 Speaker 1: then you would very quickly have a pie the pylon 1506 01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:53,080 Speaker 1: to end all pylons of how could you be so stupid? 1507 01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:58,120 Speaker 1: Like people would completely lose it on you, and you know, 1508 01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,400 Speaker 1: sure enough you would change it and it'd be fine. 1509 01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,200 Speaker 1: I think somebody once identified a two forty two forty 1510 01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:11,280 Speaker 1: golf it as a an M sixty and that and 1511 01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:14,200 Speaker 1: that was an issue that was a problem. So but 1512 01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:16,000 Speaker 1: now I want to get in the substance of this 1513 01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:20,479 Speaker 1: editorial that John Paul Stevens actually wrote for The Times. 1514 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,000 Speaker 1: So hey, yeah, this uh, as I was saying this, 1515 01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:27,200 Speaker 1: this John Paul Stevens thing is is amazing. But um, 1516 01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:29,000 Speaker 1: let me let me read you a little bit of 1517 01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:30,960 Speaker 1: of the case that he makes in it, and then 1518 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,360 Speaker 1: we'll get into it in some more detail. Uh. He writes. Quote, 1519 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 1: during the years when Warren Burger was our chief justice 1520 01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:42,800 Speaker 1: from nineteen sixty, no judge federal or state, as far 1521 01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:46,000 Speaker 1: as I'm aware, expressed any doubt as to the limited 1522 01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:49,639 Speaker 1: coverage of that amendment. When organizations like the National Rifle 1523 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:56,040 Speaker 1: Association disagreed with that position and began their campaign. Began 1524 01:26:56,120 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 1: their campaign claiming that federal regulations of farms curtailed Second 1525 01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:05,479 Speaker 1: Amendment rights. Chief Justice Burger publicly characterized the n r 1526 01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:09,519 Speaker 1: A as perpetrating quote, one of the greatest pieces of fraud. 1527 01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,559 Speaker 1: I repeat the word fraud on the American public by 1528 01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:15,559 Speaker 1: special interest interest groups I've ever seen in my lifetime. 1529 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,799 Speaker 1: So he cites this what one judge was saying back 1530 01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:23,160 Speaker 1: in you know, I don't know wherever it was, nineteen 1531 01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:27,280 Speaker 1: sixties or something. And then he goes into the d 1532 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,360 Speaker 1: C v. Heller decision two thousand and eight, the one 1533 01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:31,519 Speaker 1: time the Supreme Court has really looked at the issue 1534 01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:35,839 Speaker 1: specifically of ken a municipality in that case, the District 1535 01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,559 Speaker 1: of Columbia where our federal government space. Can it just 1536 01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:42,439 Speaker 1: say no guns, no guns for you? Can I do that? 1537 01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:48,120 Speaker 1: And d C v. Hellertel told us that no, in fact, 1538 01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:50,479 Speaker 1: the government can't just say you do not have any 1539 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:54,759 Speaker 1: right to own a firearm because we say so. And 1540 01:27:55,160 --> 01:28:00,640 Speaker 1: that I think it's something that particularly added tates and 1541 01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 1: irritates liberals now, um, because uh, because now they have 1542 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:13,439 Speaker 1: to just be very wildly hypocritical returning to a theme here, 1543 01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:18,120 Speaker 1: folks about whether or not Supreme Court precedent is settled. 1544 01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:21,719 Speaker 1: Is it settled? You'll notice they'll say Roe v. Wade 1545 01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:23,760 Speaker 1: is a constitutional right. Now, Roe v. Wade is a 1546 01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:29,480 Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision. It's not a constitutional right. And no realistic, 1547 01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,400 Speaker 1: honest assessment of what the Constitution says in any way 1548 01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:38,240 Speaker 1: indicates that Roe v. Waight is, or that the right 1549 01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:41,880 Speaker 1: to abortion is a constitutional right. But they'll speak of 1550 01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:44,280 Speaker 1: it as though this is as settled as it gets. 1551 01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:46,160 Speaker 1: This is as settled as the you know, the world 1552 01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:50,439 Speaker 1: is not flat, but d c. Heller, which just happened 1553 01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:52,800 Speaker 1: a few years ago, so it's happening in our current 1554 01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:55,840 Speaker 1: political context. Right, it's not doesn't feel like a long 1555 01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:59,000 Speaker 1: time ago because it wasn't a long time ago. That 1556 01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:02,640 Speaker 1: doesn't how that doesn't really count the same way for them. 1557 01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:07,599 Speaker 1: That doesn't really uh doesn't really rate for them. That's 1558 01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:10,400 Speaker 1: just a bad decision. Well, which is it is a 1559 01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,200 Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision on something like the right to bear 1560 01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:18,360 Speaker 1: arms binding and important going forward? Or is it just 1561 01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:22,080 Speaker 1: important when you think it is when you say it is. 1562 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:29,240 Speaker 1: There's such a dishonesty at the heart of a lot 1563 01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:32,000 Speaker 1: of what goes on with the liberal discussion about firearms. 1564 01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:33,800 Speaker 1: And that's why I like to see the John Paul 1565 01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,600 Speaker 1: Stevens column, because he's just coming out and saying it. 1566 01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,559 Speaker 1: His argument is crap. They can't even get the name 1567 01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:41,760 Speaker 1: of a frigging gun right at the top of the thing. 1568 01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:44,120 Speaker 1: But at least he's like, you know, I would just 1569 01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:47,320 Speaker 1: like to ban firearms. I want to ban the Second Amendment, 1570 01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:50,080 Speaker 1: get it, get rid of it, no more repeal it. 1571 01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,479 Speaker 1: You say to yourself, all right, well, at least we're 1572 01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:56,280 Speaker 1: gonna have a discussion now about whether or not that 1573 01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:59,600 Speaker 1: should happen. There's such a dishonesty at work with the 1574 01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:05,000 Speaker 1: liberal efforts to do the incremental Oh, no more magazines 1575 01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:07,160 Speaker 1: with more than ten rounds. They love to call them clips, 1576 01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:08,479 Speaker 1: and we love to make fun of them when they do. 1577 01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:11,160 Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, no more magazines above 1578 01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:17,479 Speaker 1: ten rounds. No more uh cosmetic features on a are 1579 01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,200 Speaker 1: variant rail systems, you know, no more four grips, no 1580 01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:24,639 Speaker 1: more uh well, no more bump stock. I'm actually okay 1581 01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:26,320 Speaker 1: within no more bump stocks. You know, some some people 1582 01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:27,800 Speaker 1: yell at me for that, but I'm like, you know what, 1583 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:30,839 Speaker 1: bump stock is kind of ridiculous. It's really a technique 1584 01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:32,920 Speaker 1: for firing more than it is actually in addition to 1585 01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:37,559 Speaker 1: a weapon. And nonetheless, but this is this is a 1586 01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:39,680 Speaker 1: reminder that those of us who say to you they 1587 01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 1: actually want to just band guns and they should be 1588 01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:43,920 Speaker 1: honest about it, are telling you the truth. They're the 1589 01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:45,800 Speaker 1: ones who are dissembling. They're the ones who are not 1590 01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:48,920 Speaker 1: telling the truth when they pretend that all they really want, 1591 01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,760 Speaker 1: all they really want is common sense gun reform. All 1592 01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:54,880 Speaker 1: they want is some changes around the margins that won't 1593 01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:58,200 Speaker 1: really affect anything, that won't really upset anyone, and it's 1594 01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:02,719 Speaker 1: just not that big a deal. That's a very big 1595 01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:07,000 Speaker 1: deal actually, because the incrementalism is meant to change the 1596 01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:09,400 Speaker 1: culture around guns. It's meant to change the way you 1597 01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:12,639 Speaker 1: think about firearms. And as I keep saying to you, 1598 01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:15,240 Speaker 1: it's more that they just don't like the people that 1599 01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:17,920 Speaker 1: own guns than anything else. And I get in trouble 1600 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:21,320 Speaker 1: for it. That's fine, it's the truth. They think that 1601 01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:24,439 Speaker 1: gun owners are toothless hillabilities who watched Nascar, and so 1602 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:27,640 Speaker 1: if they can antagonize gun owners by saying that the 1603 01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:30,880 Speaker 1: second ammage should be repealed or even just more limited 1604 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:35,080 Speaker 1: than any other constitutionally protected right. They're more than willing 1605 01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:39,000 Speaker 1: to do so, more than willing, you know, they are 1606 01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:44,320 Speaker 1: absolutely in favor of doing everything that they can up 1607 01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:48,720 Speaker 1: to and including lying pressure campaigns. And you've got a 1608 01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:51,120 Speaker 1: former Supreme Court justiceh's just saying with all the other 1609 01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:54,880 Speaker 1: all the other lives out there, belief really, which is 1610 01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:56,720 Speaker 1: that the right to bear arms is not really a right, 1611 01:31:57,040 --> 01:31:59,679 Speaker 1: that the n r A is effectively a domestic terrorist 1612 01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:06,360 Speaker 1: or zation or whatever the latest defamatory statement is. And uh, ultimately, 1613 01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:08,559 Speaker 1: as we look at this, we need to understand what 1614 01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:10,439 Speaker 1: the other side really wants and what we're dealing with here. 1615 01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:14,360 Speaker 1: So I think that, uh, it's good, it is good, 1616 01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:16,160 Speaker 1: and you should read this. It's good that we saw this, 1617 01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:17,280 Speaker 1: and you should read this. At a tromp in the 1618 01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:19,360 Speaker 1: New York Times where we finally get some honest in 1619 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:21,920 Speaker 1: the left. They don't want common sense gun reforms. They 1620 01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:26,759 Speaker 1: want to ban your guns. Were right back with Zinky 1621 01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:38,080 Speaker 1: and diversity, stay with me. He's holding the line for America, 1622 01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:41,559 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, his back. I knew that they would go 1623 01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:45,240 Speaker 1: after Secretary of Interior Zinky. I mean, the guy's uh 1624 01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:50,479 Speaker 1: a former Navy Seal. He's way too pro America and 1625 01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 1: pro freedom for the Democrat left to just let things slide. Right, 1626 01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:58,439 Speaker 1: he's got he's tied to the Trump administration. They're gonna 1627 01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:01,640 Speaker 1: find a way to go after him. But if you 1628 01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:03,840 Speaker 1: look at this guy's record, if you know his background, 1629 01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:07,280 Speaker 1: there's really not much of an opening. He's clearly a patriot, 1630 01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:11,639 Speaker 1: He's an honorable guy, well respected. I've actually done a 1631 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,160 Speaker 1: podcast or two with him in the past as we 1632 01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:17,720 Speaker 1: were co guests, and he's a it's just a good man, 1633 01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:21,759 Speaker 1: a good American, and they're going after him, folks, on 1634 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:24,760 Speaker 1: on what grounds? By the way, what is the easiest 1635 01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:29,960 Speaker 1: way to attack any member of the administration who is 1636 01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:33,519 Speaker 1: in a position of managerial authority? What do you know 1637 01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:39,080 Speaker 1: you'll be able to make a case about insufficient devotion 1638 01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:44,160 Speaker 1: to diversity? Oh? Yes, of course. It's just always there 1639 01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:46,960 Speaker 1: for them, isn't it. You know, whenever they need some 1640 01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:53,080 Speaker 1: way to attack, they know that insufficient devotion. Remember, I'm 1641 01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:57,519 Speaker 1: not saying even uh, dismissing diversity. I'm not even saying 1642 01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:02,840 Speaker 1: being an opponent of diversity outright is what they're looking for. 1643 01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:07,280 Speaker 1: You just if you don't pray to the diversity gods, 1644 01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:11,000 Speaker 1: so to speak. If you aren't someone who bends the knee, 1645 01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:14,760 Speaker 1: you are a target. If you speak out about the 1646 01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:19,040 Speaker 1: witch hunt mentality surrounding anyone in any federal agency or 1647 01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:24,160 Speaker 1: really anywhere who is not sufficiently devoted to diversity, then 1648 01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:27,559 Speaker 1: you get yourself into trouble. And I always start with, well, 1649 01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:31,840 Speaker 1: what is diversity exactly? They talk about insufficient diversity at 1650 01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:35,200 Speaker 1: these institutions, and then I'll say, like, for example, the 1651 01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:39,599 Speaker 1: Department of the Interior, which is what Ryan Zinky is 1652 01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:45,599 Speaker 1: in fact the director of our secretary of And when 1653 01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:49,479 Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, there is minority representation or 1654 01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:54,960 Speaker 1: minority employees at these places, at places like the Interior Department. Uh, 1655 01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:57,280 Speaker 1: they're just saying it's insufficient. Well, I always want to say, 1656 01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:00,360 Speaker 1: how do we know if it's sufficient? Folks? We can't 1657 01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:05,200 Speaker 1: have quotas. Remember, quotas are unacceptable because quotas are an 1658 01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:09,519 Speaker 1: open admission of the elimination of merit in the process. 1659 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:12,040 Speaker 1: You can't say we have to have a certain number 1660 01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:15,120 Speaker 1: of X and Y and z and not say that 1661 01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:22,479 Speaker 1: you're adjusting the merit requirements for getting different jobs. And 1662 01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:27,760 Speaker 1: so what you have is okay if only of the 1663 01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:31,479 Speaker 1: Department of the Interior's minority and thirty four percent of 1664 01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:34,320 Speaker 1: the United States is minority. Let's I'm making those numbers up, 1665 01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:36,400 Speaker 1: by the way, but they're roughly there there in the 1666 01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:40,200 Speaker 1: in the ballpark of accurate. So you're saying that's insufficient 1667 01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:44,599 Speaker 1: minority representation. But do we have to have the exact number? 1668 01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:47,120 Speaker 1: Do we have to have more than the number would 1669 01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:49,960 Speaker 1: be as a percentage of the U s population to 1670 01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:56,720 Speaker 1: make up for historical wrongs? Who decides what sufficient attention 1671 01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:01,760 Speaker 1: and devotion to diversity really is? The answer is it's 1672 01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,600 Speaker 1: really just a dividing line between left and right in 1673 01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:08,880 Speaker 1: this country. It is used as a concept against conservatives. 1674 01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:13,400 Speaker 1: It's not really a concept that actually has any definable 1675 01:36:14,160 --> 01:36:17,559 Speaker 1: limits or definable goals. And by the way, what does 1676 01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:21,479 Speaker 1: Zinky even do to come under fire, so to speak? 1677 01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:25,360 Speaker 1: From the left? Here? CNN writes this piece sources Zinky 1678 01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:29,719 Speaker 1: tells employees diversity isn't important. That's not really what he said. 1679 01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,559 Speaker 1: According to the piece itself, let me read to you 1680 01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:36,519 Speaker 1: from this CNN hit piece, because that's what it is. Quote. 1681 01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:40,879 Speaker 1: Three high ranking Interior Interior officials from three different divisions 1682 01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,840 Speaker 1: said that Zinki has made several comments with a similar theme, 1683 01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:48,680 Speaker 1: saying diversity isn't important, or I don't care about diversity, 1684 01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:52,280 Speaker 1: or I don't really think that's important anymore. Each time, 1685 01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:56,000 Speaker 1: Zinki followed with something along the lines of what's important 1686 01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:59,000 Speaker 1: is having the right person for the job, or I 1687 01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:01,439 Speaker 1: care about excels and I'm going to get the best 1688 01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,679 Speaker 1: people and you'll find we have had the most diverse 1689 01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:09,280 Speaker 1: group anyone's ever had. Uh So, what's the problem, folks? 1690 01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:12,719 Speaker 1: This was a big story yesterday they were covering on CNN, 1691 01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:16,559 Speaker 1: covering in other places. When you look at what was 1692 01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:20,720 Speaker 1: actually said here, not only is it not a problem 1693 01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:26,120 Speaker 1: I agree with Zink, does that mean I'm insufficiently devoted 1694 01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:29,920 Speaker 1: to diversity. He's saying that he wants the best people 1695 01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:32,240 Speaker 1: for the job, and he said we have the most 1696 01:37:32,280 --> 01:37:35,240 Speaker 1: diverse group anyone's ever had. So he's saying I look 1697 01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:39,160 Speaker 1: for the best and and we actually have a very 1698 01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:44,000 Speaker 1: diverse staff relative to other Department of Interior staffs. And 1699 01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:46,640 Speaker 1: he's still in trouble though, because he's not allowed to 1700 01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:50,280 Speaker 1: say things like I don't care about diversity. You know, 1701 01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:55,200 Speaker 1: this whole notion of social justice versus merit is at 1702 01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:57,760 Speaker 1: the heart of so many leftist policies. It's clearly at 1703 01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:02,519 Speaker 1: the heart of affirmative action and the concept of diversity. 1704 01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:04,120 Speaker 1: The look I saw it. I remember when I was 1705 01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:08,559 Speaker 1: overseas and seeing up on the walls of military bases 1706 01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:11,360 Speaker 1: in a war zone, my friends posters with things like 1707 01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:16,839 Speaker 1: diversity is our strength. No, that's not true. The strength 1708 01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:20,800 Speaker 1: of the United States military and military is the courage, bravery, 1709 01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:25,560 Speaker 1: and skill of those wearing the uniform, those carrying arms 1710 01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:29,240 Speaker 1: for their country. Uh. Diversity is not the strength of 1711 01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:32,360 Speaker 1: the United States military. And that kind of brainless propaganda 1712 01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:37,000 Speaker 1: is pretty widespread within the diversity movement. It's really not 1713 01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:41,360 Speaker 1: unusual at all to read slogans about diversity that make 1714 01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:45,759 Speaker 1: you think to yourself, this is idiotic, This makes no sense. 1715 01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:49,120 Speaker 1: I don't even know what they're really trying to say, 1716 01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:53,439 Speaker 1: other than to hammer at home that you have to 1717 01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:56,679 Speaker 1: you have to be part of team diversity, which really 1718 01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:59,960 Speaker 1: just means you will do whatever is necessary to play 1719 01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:04,639 Speaker 1: kate the politically correct dictates of the left, whatever their 1720 01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:06,960 Speaker 1: whims may be, at any point in time, you have 1721 01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:12,040 Speaker 1: to say sir, yes sir, or ma'am yes, ma'am, or there, yes, 1722 01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:14,880 Speaker 1: there because with a Z now or or an X 1723 01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:17,639 Speaker 1: by the way, because I don't want to be mis 1724 01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:21,800 Speaker 1: gendering people. Right, Yeah, big D diversity. We're going to 1725 01:39:21,880 --> 01:39:25,479 Speaker 1: continue to fight against the nonsense concept here in the 1726 01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:29,680 Speaker 1: Freedom Hut. Uh. We will be right back with some 1727 01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:34,479 Speaker 1: roll call. Oh man, it's been a long day. It's 1728 01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:36,200 Speaker 1: been fun here in the Hut though, but just a 1729 01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:39,200 Speaker 1: lot of stuff. I did America's Newsroom this morning, Brett 1730 01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:43,080 Speaker 1: Bears Panel tonight, and then Kennedy Show How Do I 1731 01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:46,439 Speaker 1: Do It? All the magic of media, My friends. I 1732 01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:48,400 Speaker 1: hope you got a chance to check that out, and 1733 01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:50,800 Speaker 1: if you didn't, we'll put it up on Facebook so 1734 01:39:50,920 --> 01:39:55,400 Speaker 1: you can see the latest analysis and all things that 1735 01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:58,559 Speaker 1: I'm up to. And with that, let's hear what you're 1736 01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:01,240 Speaker 1: up to. Oh, you know what means it's time for 1737 01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:18,599 Speaker 1: some row call. Team, It's time for roll call. All right. 1738 01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:24,479 Speaker 1: We have Isaac who has written about the uh, the 1739 01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:29,880 Speaker 1: what he calls the white South African genocide, and it 1740 01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:32,479 Speaker 1: is about the white farmers in South Africa. He says, 1741 01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:36,320 Speaker 1: please try to get the media to start talking about this. Well, Isaac, 1742 01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:40,800 Speaker 1: I've been talking about the violence against white farmers. Genocide 1743 01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:44,439 Speaker 1: would be too strong and an inaccurate a term at 1744 01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:48,280 Speaker 1: this point. But there has been a long and concerted 1745 01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:53,280 Speaker 1: campaign of violence and intimidation against white farmers in Zimbabwe 1746 01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:58,000 Speaker 1: formerly Rhodesia under the reign of Mugabe, who just came 1747 01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:01,200 Speaker 1: to an end some months ago. So this is something 1748 01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:03,840 Speaker 1: we have to be on the lookout for, um and 1749 01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:06,400 Speaker 1: I will continue to talk about it here in the Hut. 1750 01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:10,599 Speaker 1: We have next up here Susannah, who says, hey, Buck, 1751 01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:14,560 Speaker 1: passing along a message from my original Saturday Squad husband Oss, 1752 01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:18,320 Speaker 1: who introduced me to you regarding music for Roll Call. 1753 01:41:18,439 --> 01:41:22,760 Speaker 1: He likes the original drumming, bringing everyone to attention, I'm 1754 01:41:22,800 --> 01:41:26,080 Speaker 1: okay with anything, just you don't go anywhere. Love the 1755 01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:30,080 Speaker 1: show and appreciate you and your insight shields. Hi Susannah, 1756 01:41:30,080 --> 01:41:32,439 Speaker 1: thank you so much. And yeah, well we'll mix it 1757 01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:34,760 Speaker 1: up a bit. We could get a little bit of 1758 01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:38,559 Speaker 1: that old school drummer music thrown in there for you. 1759 01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:42,360 Speaker 1: So we will keep everyone on their toes because that 1760 01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:45,400 Speaker 1: is how we roll in the hut. That's how we do, 1761 01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:49,880 Speaker 1: as the kids say. Jen writes the following, Buck, is 1762 01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:53,880 Speaker 1: this a budget or a bill? It seems from what 1763 01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:56,160 Speaker 1: I've read, Trump does not have to spend the money 1764 01:41:56,240 --> 01:42:00,080 Speaker 1: as allocated because this is not truly a budget per se. A. 1765 01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:03,000 Speaker 1: You know, Jen, I'm digging down into this because I 1766 01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:05,920 Speaker 1: want to make sure that I know the full facts 1767 01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:10,439 Speaker 1: about what level of discretion the president has within the 1768 01:42:10,439 --> 01:42:14,160 Speaker 1: budget that had or within the the bill that has 1769 01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:17,760 Speaker 1: been passed which contains many budgetary measures. So this is 1770 01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:21,880 Speaker 1: a level of uh intra governmental complexity that I'm gonna 1771 01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:23,800 Speaker 1: have to deep dive into this and spend a bit 1772 01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:27,200 Speaker 1: more time on it. But you raise a very important point, 1773 01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:32,400 Speaker 1: and thank you for your support of the show. Chris 1774 01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:34,880 Speaker 1: writes what Happened to Shields High Podcast. I drove a 1775 01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:37,880 Speaker 1: truck at night and really enjoyed it.

It's often just a question of whether they're 1850 01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:03,000 Speaker 1: willing to expose themselves, you know, whether they're willing to 1851 01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:05,759 Speaker 1: be public about it. A lot of people keep it quiet, 1852 01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:09,040 Speaker 1: and I know I do. And in social settings, people 1853 01:47:09,080 --> 01:47:13,120 Speaker 1: would generally have very little idea until I know them 1854 01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:15,880 Speaker 1: about what I think of the world.

It's just not worth it to put 1866 01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:47,840 Speaker 1: myself through the frustration of listening to all the ignorance. Hey, 1867 01:47:47,880 --> 01:47:50,000 Speaker 1: how are you doing? Oh yeah, it's great. You know, Buck, 1868 01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:51,479 Speaker 1: What are you working on these days? Oh?

You know, maybe the weather, but I 1875 01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:13,559 Speaker 1: try not to get into the global warming part of 1876 01:48:13,560 --> 01:48:19,240 Speaker 1: the weather. Next up here we have Doug, who writes 1877 01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:22,479 Speaker 1: Hi Buck. After suffering through the hype and rhetoric surrounding 1878 01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:25,679 Speaker 1: Saturday's events in d C, I just wanted to suggest 1879 01:48:25,720 --> 01:48:28,719 Speaker 1: our word for the day should be occuocracy. It gives 1880 01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:31,280 Speaker 1: me chills each time I see a clip showing these 1881 01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:34,599 Speaker 1: kids were setting the mantra this is what democracy looks like. 1882 01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:40,200 Speaker 1: No children are constitutional. Republic incorporates a democrats structure of 1883 01:48:40,200 --> 01:48:46,479 Speaker 1: represent democratic structure of representative government, not dictate via mob rule. Yes, 1884 01:48:46,560 --> 01:48:50,360 Speaker 1: Oculocracy is actually something I wrote about in Occupy American 1885 01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:52,839 Speaker 1: Spring and the book I wrote as a cub reporter 1886 01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:55,400 Speaker 1: at The Blaze Gosh almost seven years ago. Now, I 1887 01:48:55,479 --> 01:48:59,800 Speaker 1: specifically got into the ococracy of Occupy Wall Street. So 1888 01:48:59,880 --> 01:49:03,320 Speaker 1: I was oclocracy before oclocracy was cool. It's a fun 1889 01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:06,920 Speaker 1: word to say, by the way. With that, I think 1890 01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:08,800 Speaker 1: we're in a perfect place for me to close down 1891 01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:11,679 Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt for the evening.

I'm gonna go 1894 01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:21,559 Speaker 1: home now and probably eat a whole bunch of red 1895 01:49:21,600 --> 01:49:25,759 Speaker 1: meat because I have some very delicious grass fed hamburger 1896 01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:27,960 Speaker 1: beating the fridge that I'm going to just probably eat 1897 01:49:27,960 --> 01:49:29,960 Speaker 1: about a pound up and uh, and then I'll get 1898 01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,600 Speaker 1: ready for tomorrow's show.
