Finally feels like 13 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: summer here in New York City. I bet that's the 14 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: case that a lot of places across the country. So 15 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: that's nice. Got something to talk about today? We will 16 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,279 Speaker 1: hit on a whole slew of topics, including, of course 17 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: the news the day with the Trump Comy epic feud. 18 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: Also get into a bit of the British election results, 19 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: a little Islamic history. Will also talk about how to 20 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: how to party properly. I've got a I've got a 21 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: crazy show planned everybody, It's gonna be fantastic. You you 22 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: wait and see. But first Trump with the comic CounterPunch, 23 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: you would think that after and actually not, I take 24 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: that back. After yesterday's situation with Comey's testimony, Um, there 25 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: was a lot of obvious spinning going on on both sides. Right, 26 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: people came away from that and a you knew immediately 27 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: which side of the political outsbody was on based on 28 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: their main takeaways from that whole event. Right, So if 29 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: someone thought the biggest takeaway was the either request for loyalty, 30 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: honest loyalty, whatever that was, or the possible pressure on 31 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: Comy to drop the Flynn investigation, well then you're clearly 32 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: a Democrat and opposed to Trump. And if you came 33 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: away from that with as I did, because I also 34 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: do think and I know this maybe now sounds like 35 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: I've in some way tainted my objectivity here, But if 36 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: you came away from thinking that the Lauretta Lynch direct 37 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: intervention on Hillary's behalf during the election by telling Comey 38 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: to call something a what was it a situation or 39 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: something instead of don't call an investigation, um, a circumstance. 40 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: I forget what the word was that she used, but 41 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: she called it something else. She wanted to call it 42 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: something else. A matter, a matter, that's what it was. 43 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: It's a matter, it's a thing. Uh. That was big. 44 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: And then also that that Comy leaked. And sure enough 45 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: today when Trump is in counter strike mode, I knew 46 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: it was coming. By the way, this morning, I happened 47 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: to be up for. I don't even really know what. 48 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: I was up very early this morning. Uh well, very well. 49 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: Actually no, I wasn't brother, but I was up early, 50 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: and I saw Trump's tweet in in Uh, I think 51 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: it was even in real time, right when he tweeteds, like, 52 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: oh look, Trump just tweeted. He hadn't tweeted in a while. 53 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: I knew that it was gonna that this fight was 54 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: gonna be on today. And sure enough, you've got the 55 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: president now saying that Comy lied under oath, and Trump 56 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: is saying that he is willing to go on the 57 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: record under oath to testify. Under oath, he says that 58 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: he says that Comey's a liar. Comy is a liar. 59 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: This is some some intense stuff. I will get into 60 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: more of why I'm not I'm just not very favorably 61 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: disposed towards come in a few minutes. And by the way, 62 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: I promise you that we will no we we will 63 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: uh spend only a portion of the show on politics 64 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: and stuff today and then we'll just get into some 65 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: other topics because there's there does come a point when 66 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: we all need to just take a deep breath and 67 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: not be trying to either referee or join one side 68 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: or the other in this battle between Comey and Trump. 69 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: But potus Trump President United States, came out today and 70 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 1: went after this issue of the leaks and the fact 71 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: that Comey agreed as I told you yesterday or came 72 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: out and said that he was responsible for leaking. But 73 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: in the meantime, no collusion, no obstruction. He's a leaker. 74 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: But we want to get back to running our great country. Now. 75 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that are parsing the and 76 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: I even have some It's so cute when some people 77 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: that I have never worked in government or health the 78 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: security clearance are trying to tell me via email or 79 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: on social media like like, oh, let me tell you 80 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: what a leak is. I'm like, like, I know what 81 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: a leak is, okay, But there are different kinds of leaks. Right. 82 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: There can be a leak that is just somebody speaking 83 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: out of school who works for Trump or who works 84 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: for Comy, saying something that is very generic, very vague. Uh. 85 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: That would be just really gossip in a sense, right, 86 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: or perception based, and that's very rarely. Now you can 87 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: be fired for that, but you're not going to run 88 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: a foul of any rules for that. There can be 89 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: proprietary information, meaning if you're Comy and you work for 90 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: the FBI, it's information about the internal functionings and what's 91 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: going on the FBI. That's not for external uh, not 92 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: for externalized until some uh sharing or some signing off 93 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: on that process occurs. And then the top level of 94 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: leaking is here is classified information that is protected under law, 95 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: and someone knowingly and willfully shares it to somebody who 96 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: does not have a clearance and and dry, you know, 97 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: and pushes that out there for everyone to know, which 98 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: is illegal, uh and ands a in many cases a felony. 99 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: So when we talk about a leak, well, it matters 100 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: what kind of leak. And when I say that Comy 101 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: leaked to the New York Times, I'm not suggesting that 102 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: his conversation with the president where he's talking about what's 103 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: going to go forward. The investigation is classified, but it 104 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: may be government property, and therefore it would be improper 105 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: for him to share that for political purposes and to claim, 106 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: by the way, that he was a if its citizen. 107 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: That's not a that's not an okay justification here for him, 108 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: because he's sharing information he had from his time in government. 109 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: Right if if Comey had this meeting with Trump after 110 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: he had been fired, yeah, do whatever, you do, whatever 111 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: you want, Right, But he had this meeting when he 112 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: was still the FBI director and took these notes as 113 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: a formal record that he was trying to use as 114 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: as an official as an official government record, really to 115 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: harm the presidency. So that's that's clearly falling under the 116 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: category of government information. Now the other side of this 117 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: is people are suggested call me leak, to call me leak. Yeah, 118 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: it's an ethical issue. It's almost certainly not a legal issue. 119 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: And I know that people are out there and they 120 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: can say, oh buck, but and I'm familiar with there. 121 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: There's even stuff that you know, you go beyond the 122 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: clearance process and you can talk about like law enforcement 123 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: sensitive which I dealt with at the NYPD and what 124 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: the what the realities are of sharing or disclosing outside 125 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: of proper channels that information? Right, there's all these different, um, 126 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 1: different categorizations of uh, you know, leaking just means sharing 127 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: without authorization, right, that's all leaking is. So a leak 128 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: is not necessarily criminal. It's not even necessarily sanctionable, uh, 129 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: except if you're working for somebody, they can fire you, 130 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: right if it's not authorized. But beyond that, there's probably 131 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: no legal recourse. And people that are saying, oh, well, 132 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: Coby is gonna be in trouble because of the uh 133 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: legalities here and he trust me, Comy has been Uh 134 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: he's and this is an unfortunate reality of our prosecutorial 135 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: system in this country right now. He's been lacking people 136 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: away for pretty minor things and technicalities for a long time. 137 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: So he wouldn't do this if he wasn't. Darn sure. 138 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: There's no way he was going to face any real 139 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: punishment for it. What are they gonna do. They're gonna 140 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: strip but they're gonna try to strip him of his 141 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: FBI pension or something. I mean doubtful, No, no, I 142 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: mean not for this at least, I don't think so 143 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: it's not enough, it's not enough of an abuse for 144 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: that to happen. And he also understands, and this is 145 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: what well before actually hold on, I'm jumping ahead of 146 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: myself a little bit um. But the people that are 147 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: trying to make the case, and I understand this, they 148 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: want to be favorable for the president. They're saying, Comey leaked, 149 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: and therefore Comey is the one who could get in 150 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: trouble here. He may have broken the law, but the 151 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: kind of leak that we'll be talking about with Comy 152 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: is like the equivalent of of of a parking ticket 153 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: in the league world, or maybe a little more than that. 154 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: But you see what I'm saying, right, it's he's not 155 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: He's not leaking top secret information to the press to 156 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: harm the president. He's leaking a conversation that was not classified. 157 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: But it's unethical and it shows, it exposes I think 158 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: that Comy is a political actor here, as he has 159 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: been all along, as many of us have known all along. 160 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: And he's all mr Mr Opper and by the book 161 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: and the rules, the rules, and nothing but the rules, 162 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: until all of a sudden, it's about the FBI's reputation, 163 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: which is really I think a code word or a 164 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 1: coded phrase for Comey, which is it? It's his reputation, right. 165 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: But uh, then all of a sudden, he's willing to 166 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: play a little dirty. So he's been exposed here in 167 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: a way that I don't think many of his defenders 168 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: thought he would. And look, he didn't want to have 169 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: to tell everybody this, but he was under oath. And 170 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: he's smart enough to know that he's not Bill Clinton. 171 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: He's not going to get away with lying under oath. 172 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: But he does figure that the hit to his reputation 173 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: or his very carefully cultivated reputation for honesty. Um, he 174 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: he does, I think realize that that may take a hit. 175 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: But on the other side, he is now viewed as 176 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: a kind of you know, Trump opposition martyr, right, somebody 177 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: that took took the heat, stood up at Trump and 178 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: and was crushed in the process. And so he'll be 179 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: protected at some level because of that. Uh, Comey's speaking 180 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: fees and his book advance are only gonna go up 181 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: because of what he has done here to the president. 182 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: Comey's viability as a senior administration official and a Democrat administration. 183 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it has only gone up because of what 184 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: he has done to Trump. Now, I don't think they 185 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: would because of the Hillary situation. Although I don't know. 186 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: People act like Democrats live in this fantasy land where 187 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: Comy cost Hillary the election. And I'm always like, you 188 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: mean the guy that made sure that we didn't watch 189 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch stand in front of the American people to 190 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: show how deeply corrupt and ridiculous the DJ was that 191 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: investigation Comy did her a huge favor, huge favor. Um. 192 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: So that's I think all very important to put in 193 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: perspective here people talking about leagus and always a criminal 194 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: and nothing's not let me tell you right now, I'll 195 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: skip to the conclusion for you, my friends, nothing's gonna 196 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: happen to call me legally speaking because of these leagues. 197 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: I know it's fun to talk about it, you know, 198 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: but but as it's not gonna happen. So uh, he's 199 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: a seasoned prosecutor and lawyer, and trust me, he knows 200 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: that he's not going to get jammed up on this. 201 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: But it showed us something and Trump was right. Um. 202 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: The main Democrat narrative here I took a huge hit yesterday, 203 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: which is that there was collusion that Trump's undervestigation himself, 204 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: and I think fair minded people for the first time 205 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: going into this, well it's not yet summer, but going 206 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: into this soon to be summer weekend, maybe maybe considering 207 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: that the media has been at war with Trump and 208 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: they've been fighting dirty, and they've been lying for months now, 209 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: that this whole narrative of the Russia collusion with Trump 210 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: is nothing. Because let's really cut to the chase. If 211 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: Trump himself had nothing, did nothing illegitimate, did nothing nefarious, 212 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: did nothing underhanded with the Russians with regard to the election, 213 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: does it really matter if uh, some secondary or or tertiary, 214 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,359 Speaker 1: some third tier player in Trump's orbit from the campaign 215 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: had a shady conversation with a Russian. I think Trump 216 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: would say, Okay, well, if you find that out through them, 217 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: you know, do you throw the book at him, do 218 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: whatever you gotta do. He doesn't care. But we figured 219 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: out here is it Trump didn't. There's they've got nothing 220 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: on Trump. If they did, everybody, as I've been telling you, 221 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: we would know. We would know. They're leaking information left 222 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: and right, even information that if true, neither confirmed nor deny, 223 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: but if true, would be felonious. Leaking of highly classified information. 224 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: If they're willing to do that, there's no way that 225 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: the so called smoking gun that's out there would still 226 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: be under wraps. There's no way. That's just insane. So 227 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: it was it was a good day for Trump, and 228 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: he's now I think, on offense in a way that 229 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: many people weren't on the left weren't really prepared for. 230 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit of a stumble was 231 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: felt in the anti Trump ranks in the last twenty 232 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: four hours because they're their main guy against Trump was 233 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: Comey and it just wasn't enough. And all this stuff 234 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: about obstruction police people. The same people that are that 235 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: were defending Bill. I mean literally the same people if 236 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: you turn on CNN. Uh, some of the same people 237 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: are defending Bill Clinton for blatantly lying under oath, which 238 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: is perjury and which is a felony. Uh. They think 239 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna get an obstruction charge on I hope you 240 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: can see your way clear. I don't think so. I 241 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: don't think so they're gonna try. But I want to 242 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: talk a little more about the um the Democrat Party 243 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: now as America's uh political hall monitor. But I'll do 244 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: that after the break stay with me. I also wanted 245 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: to get into some of the news stories and news 246 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: organizations that have been uh undermined quite a bit given 247 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: what Comey said yesterday. But I believe it was on 248 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: this show in fact, where I said, uh, should we 249 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: I should have pulled this audio where I was saying 250 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: that they're gonna run with this comy set to undermine 251 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: Trump uh and say that he never told me he 252 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: wasn't undervestigation. I was like, they'll run with this story 253 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: until the day of because all the damage will be done, 254 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: and then by the time it's we know it's not true, 255 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: they will have run an anti Trump story for a 256 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: week and act like that they're just journalists. That was 257 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: exactly what happened. Why is it so obvious? I mean, 258 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: I don't pretend to sit here and have a crystal ball. 259 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: I mean maybe a kind of do. But I could 260 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: see that coming a mile away. It's not surprising at all. 261 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: Great piece I thought on the Federalists, by the way, 262 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: about by our our friend Ben Dominic about how CNN 263 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: has just gone to war with Trump. I mean, you 264 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: see the headlines, you see the chirons, which is what 265 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: they put at the bottom of the screen and writing, Um, 266 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: you see the way that they are framing all this stuff, 267 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: and yep, that is actually CNN has has gone to war, 268 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: or a lot of CNN at least I's just gone 269 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: to war with Trump. I mean, they're just trying to 270 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: take down the presidency. There there is. I don't know 271 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: how they could be any more anti Trump than they are. 272 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: And as some evidence of that, uh, you have the 273 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: second CNN host in what two weeks? No less than 274 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: oh no, yeah, two weeks. Second CNN host has to 275 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: be fired because of anti Trump hatred. I mean it's 276 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: fine to criticize the president. I mean I criticized Obama 277 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: for every year I was in media, and no one's 278 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: got a problem with that. But you can hold up 279 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: a severed head and pretend it's the presidents. And also, 280 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: if you're a public figure and you call the president 281 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: a piece of blank, that's gonna be tough when they 282 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: want to put you on TV as a quote religion 283 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: expert later and nonpartisan. So Raza Oslan, whom I do 284 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: not know, but based on his appearances on TV and 285 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: his statements on Twitter, strikes me as an entirely repulsive 286 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: and intellectually third tier at best kind of guy. Uh, 287 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: he's gotten kenned by CNN. He had a show called Believer, um, 288 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: which now, look, he's not a CNN employee, but now 289 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: we're starting to get a little into the minutia. He 290 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: has a production company that he works with and CNN 291 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: pays for that show, which pays him money then for 292 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: doing this show. And they have cut They've cut all ties. 293 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: They will not be putting Believer on going forward. Um. 294 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: So he's he's done, as you know, Cathy Griffin, uh 295 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: for the severed head photos. She's done. You'll notice how 296 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: many how many Fox hosts, how many of you with 297 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,479 Speaker 1: shows at Fox? Uh just wildly crossed the line when 298 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: it came to the obaministration had to. I can't I 299 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: can't remember any that were fired for that, nor should 300 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: have been. But I'm just I'm just thinking a lot 301 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: um to CNN. Oh. Now, Kathy Griffin doesn't have her 302 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: own show, I know that, but she hosts the New 303 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 1: Year's Eve every year with their Marquis anchor Anderson Cooper, 304 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: who is the single most well known and marketable of 305 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: all of the various UH CNN Washington most gonall you 306 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: know what I mean, he's the he's the biggest household 307 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: or the biggest name, most most known guy over at CNN. UM, 308 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: so that's gone now. UM. I will also say that, 309 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: you know, there's a part of me that thinks that, uh, 310 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: this is not this is not gonna last very long. 311 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: This in fact, I know it won't last very long. 312 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: This introspection that may be going on in some quarters 313 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: of the media and the New York Times is even 314 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: I'll get to that next. The New York Times is 315 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: trying to deal with the fact that Comey said one 316 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: of their stories about Russia Trump collision we just flat 317 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: out wrong, just wrong. So it was Colly a Trump hack? 318 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: Or is the New York Times running off of bad 319 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: fake sources or sources who say they know stuff and 320 00:19:43,320 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: don't know.

Um, I really don't 330 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: like this when it seems like that the media gets 331 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: turned into a big echo chamber of people who are 332 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: either lawyers or repeating what they hear from lawyers about 333 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: trying to find some way, some way to can cocked 334 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: a narrative that uh shows illegality from their political opponents. 335 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: You know, if you hate somebody so much and you 336 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: just can't stand them, make the case why they should 337 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 1: be voted out of office. Uh. Fine, But we're always 338 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: now seeing this effort to try and make it about 339 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: make it criminal, you know. I they want to find something. 340 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: If you go down the list, by the way, of course, 341 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: at the top Russia Trump collusion, and then there's the 342 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: emoluments clause. And you've heard about the Logan Act, and 343 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: you've heard about now obstruction, and you've ian you know, 344 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: and uh, you know the violating nepotism laws and all 345 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: this stuff around the White House already. Um, the Logan 346 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: Act was one of the more desperate ones. Right. It's 347 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: been around for a couple hundred years. It's never actually 348 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: no one's ever been successfully prosecuted under it. But you 349 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: can see that they're dusting off the law books and 350 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: they'd be perfectly happy to uh locks somebody up just 351 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: for to score political points. I don't want to live 352 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: in a country where Americans just engage in this tit 353 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: for tat, you know, back and forth over trying to 354 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: get people jammed up with the legal code, with with 355 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: the criminal code. That's not healthy, that's not good. And 356 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: you can see this is one of the primary methods 357 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: of opposition against the Trump administration. They're they're always looking 358 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: for some way to get somebody, you know. Now they're 359 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: looking at Flynn for a loong the FBI either. You 360 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: can see there's why they're so excited about uh the 361 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: Special Council. And now it all makes sense, doesn't it. 362 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: It all makes sense that camey and he said this. 363 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: This isn't my interpretation. He said this, uh that he 364 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: would be that that he wanted to get a special 365 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: counsel because he understands what this will mean. It'll mean 366 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: that there will be a series of investigative, investigatory steps 367 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: to take many months, cost a lot of money, and 368 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: we'll put people in legal jeopardy. See, here's what many 369 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: in the public don't really know. Pretty much, each time 370 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: you speak to the FBI, any time you're and definitely 371 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: and any time you speak to the FBI officer and 372 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: any time you're under oath um, you're flirting with legal jeopardy. 373 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you can turn into it. You 374 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: can turn into a criminal really quickly, and not through 375 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: being a bad person or trying to cover up any 376 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: kind of crime. Maybe you're trying to just cover up 377 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: something that's embarrassing, or maybe you just don't want to, 378 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: you know, give the full details about something. That's why 379 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: comey Comy didn't want a special counsel, because he knows 380 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: there's no Russian collusion, So why does you want a 381 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: special counsel. He wants a special counsel as payback for 382 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: him getting fired. And he wants a special counsel because 383 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: he knows that it will just grind along, this mass 384 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: of lumbering, bureaucratic monstrosity that will just consume people over 385 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: the course of its gears just doing what it does. 386 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: It's not gonna unearth some grand conspiracy. It's not going 387 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,239 Speaker 1: to defend our democracy. It's not gonna make you know, 388 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: it's definitely not gonna make America great again. But that's 389 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: not that's not what it's about. That's why Democrats wanted to. 390 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: By the way, they need process to combat the administration 391 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: because the completely conjured narrative of Russia collusion that's falling apart. 392 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: So they need to just use these honestly, the the 393 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: the petty, the petty tyrannical tendencies of government to their advantage. 394 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: That's what they want. And I saw this even in 395 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: my time government. There are some people that they're just 396 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: they buy into this. They don't understand that the justice 397 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: system really exists to do justice. It's not just to 398 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: do uh, every little thing at every little time based 399 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: on exactly what the the statute could be interpreted to me. 400 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: And mind you right, I'm not talking about blatant violation 401 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: and statute. I'm saying, you know, can that can we 402 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: shoehorn something into this? Can we find some way to 403 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: charge this as a crime. That's not that's not the 404 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: America that I want to live in. That's not the 405 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: approach that my fellow citizens I would hope would take, 406 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: uh and and I I would hope that some would 407 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: start to see all this Trump stuff for what it is, 408 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: which is just an effort to um win through or 409 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: really to to get vengeance. It's not even about winning 410 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: so much as vengeance. It's payback for Hillary losing. And 411 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: we've been that's not new and I know that. But 412 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: that's why subjecting people to a grinding and seemingly endless 413 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: special counsel investigation. You know, they're not gonna get somebody 414 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: for Russia collusion, but they may get somebody for like 415 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: hacks fraud, you know, and that every oh, that person 416 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: is a trader, oh trader. You know, we throw that 417 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: word trader around way too liberally these days, way too liberally. 418 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: You know, go back in history and look at what 419 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: a look at what real traders or what they did. Um. 420 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: You know, this is not hoping that you're a senior, 421 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: hoping that a career military officer with decades of decorated 422 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 1: service is not going to go to prison on a 423 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,479 Speaker 1: technicality is not treason, everybody, Okay, it's not. No normal 424 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: rational person would say that it is, um, But they 425 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: are just trying to trip up the administration with the 426 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: tyranny of endless laws. That's really what the that's what 427 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: the resist, the quote resistance or the hashtag resistance has become. 428 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: Trump is saying that he would give his version of 429 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: the COMI back and forth under oath. Here's what he 430 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 1: said today at press conference, just that he didn't tell 431 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: the truth and everything he said. Uh, he did say 432 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: under oath that you told him to let the Flynn 433 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: Uh you said you hoped the Flynn investigation you could like, 434 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: he didn't say that, So he lied about that. Well, 435 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I mean, I will tell you 436 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: I didn't say that. And and did he ask you 437 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: to pledge? It would be nothing wrong if I did 438 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: say it, according to everybody that I've read today. But 439 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: I did not say that. And and did he ask 440 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: for a pledge of loyalty from you? That's a north thing? 441 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: He said, No, he did not. So he said those 442 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: things under oath. Would you be willing to speak under 443 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 1: oath to give your version of one? And didn't say 444 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: under oath I hardly know the man. I'm not gonna 445 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: say I want you to pledge allegiance? Who would do that? 446 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: Who would ask a man to pledge legions? Under oath? Yeah? 447 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: The more I think about this, I demand loyalty from 448 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 1: the FBI director from Komy after what me did during 449 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: the election itself. Trump would demand the Trump would try 450 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: to demand, Um. I look, I I believe and I 451 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: know some people just gets them really upset. I believe 452 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: that he fired him. Yeah, because he doesn't like him, 453 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: he doesn't trust him. He thinks he's a political operative, 454 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: which he clearly is. By the way, Comey is a 455 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: political operative. So all the people that the last oh, 456 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: you know, nine months and be like, Comey, he's just amazing. 457 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: He's such a great nonpartisan public servant. Uh, they were 458 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: missing something because this is a guy that will go 459 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: after a presidency to settle the score. So those people 460 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: were off. Um. But now we see what's going on 461 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: with Trump and Comey and the loyalty pledge. And I 462 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: just think to myself, why would Trump put himself in 463 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: that situation asking for because he could just fire him. Um. 464 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,239 Speaker 1: And I also I should note that I have some 465 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: friends and I was to bring up the other day 466 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: who uh you know, I've spoken people who are attorneys, 467 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: and if you speak to some defense attorneys, they will 468 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: say they will never agree to a FBI taking notes 469 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: on an interview with somebody tape recorder. And you know, 470 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that there's an intentional bad faith with that. 471 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: That's commonplace with the FBI thing down in those situations, 472 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: But I think tape recorders what you're gonna you're gonna 473 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: want there, because Okay, Comey's recollection of a conversation, how 474 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: clear is it really? And if somebody gets to just 475 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: create the record of the conversation, how hard does it 476 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: change one or two keywords? If we're parsing words, Keep 477 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: in mind we are parsing a transcript here when it 478 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: comes to the Flynn, Uh, the the Flynn, the allegation 479 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: that he tried to obstruct justice by looking into whether 480 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: Flynn remember what was Flynn's problem lying to the FBI? 481 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: Um is that again, is that based on notes that 482 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: FBI agents tooker? Is that based on did they did 483 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: they record the session? I'd be curious to know that. 484 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: But if it's just a matter of a few words, 485 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: you're putting a lot of faith in James Comey to 486 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: give you exactly what was said, whether he might get 487 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: some words wrong just because or he might get some 488 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: words wrong because it's something he wants to do. And 489 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: that's why this issue of of tapes. Uh is interesting 490 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: to me. I I don't think there are tapes, but 491 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. And this is what the President said 492 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: about it heard against your word. And if you could 493 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: also tell us her do tapes exist of your conversations 494 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: with him? Well, I'll tell you about that maybe sometime 495 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: in the very near future. But in the meantime, No collusion, 496 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: no obstruction. He's a aaker. No collusion, no obstruction, He's 497 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: a leaker. That's what That's what the president. That's his 498 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: CounterPunch here. Um. I they're hoping, by the way, for 499 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: the worst situation for the administration now, is some uh, 500 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: some criminal prosecution that comes up from the process of 501 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: the investigation. They're gonna find nothing, no, none, nothing that 502 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: hurts Trump himself for his inner circle from any of this. 503 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty clear. And I think a lot 504 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: of people in the media realize it now. And you know, 505 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: it's all out there on the internet. We're all quite 506 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: aware of who's been saying Trump's gonna get locked up, 507 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: Trump's gonna get marched out of the White House and 508 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: handcuffs any day.

Nobody came awake. He was up 526 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: to a table and the villain was prepared to cut 527 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: him half in two with a laser beam. They would 528 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: move automatically from the bottom of the table up the 529 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: center of the table. Does he say, I do not 530 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: expect you to talk. I expect you to die. Yes, 531 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: exactly from here for James Bomb Movies, Bay them laying 532 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: it down, rock and roll. John, Amen, have a great weekend. 533 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: Thank you for calling it from Mississippi. Man, have a 534 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: good weekend. I appreciate it. Other John in Alabama, what's up, 535 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: my friend? But thanks for taking Kenny takes to me 536 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: because he's no different in boinning and clapping and the wedding. 537 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: He is a just a partisan political hack because and 538 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: if you look at what he did, you know, to 539 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: throw everything at the door and make sure everybody knew 540 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: the Hillary wasn't gonna get charged. And the only thing 541 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: that didn't leak out of his office was the fact 542 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: that Trump was not being investigated personally. Yeah, and this 543 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: notion that there is a duty to correct, um, what 544 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: does that even mean? So, yeah, if the president came 545 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: under investigable, anyone could always come under investigation. That that's 546 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: a nonsense standard to it to apply, right, because the 547 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: whole point is that everyone was being told, everyone was 548 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: being led to believe Trump was under investigation. Well, isn't 549 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: their duty to correct that false impression? One would think, 550 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: So that's why he's a that's why he's nothing more 551 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: of the political hack. But I'm wondering, I don't know 552 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: if you get a sense, and I know I'm in 553 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: the one of the reddest parts of one of the 554 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: reddest states in the country. But I'm livid at the 555 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: Democrats because this is all they've got. They would they 556 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: flushed the country down the tubes to get it Trump, 557 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: to hate him so bad, and I'm just hoping that 558 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: this is gonna blow up in their face and backfire. 559 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: And I was just really wondering what you thought, if 560 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 1: there's any possibility of that, if if the whole comy 561 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: situation is gonna be a law for the Democrats, you know, 562 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: I mean they've been we're going almost a year. Oh, 563 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 1: you mean the whole thing, the whole thing. You're you're 564 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: wondering if like this going no, you know, I I 565 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: think that this is unfortunately where the Democrats are now 566 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: because we had eight years of Obama or we know 567 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: what the Democrats offer, and look, Trump's election was a 568 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: repudiation of eight years of Obama policy and also eight 569 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: years of a progressive Democrat leftist culture that people just 570 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: got sick of. They're just sick of it. So you know, 571 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: that's you know that they can't offer up the same 572 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: stuff they're offering because clearly it wasn't enough. And keep 573 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: in mind it's not just Trump versus Hillary. Look at 574 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: the House, look at the Senate. Why are Republicans winning 575 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: all these racism and look, Republicans aren't exactly lighting the 576 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: world on fire with awesomeness these days, really really really 577 00:35:51,920 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: pointed in the behind Democrat gonna do say that right 578 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 1: years that's met at the tandis um envisioned And that's nothing. 579 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: What's in the constitution. Yeah, you know, big government, redistribution 580 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,919 Speaker 1: and socialist socialist tendencies um are not are not something 581 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: that the American people really want. And and that's uh 582 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: never never mind the and and thank you for calling 583 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: in John from Alabama. Appreciated. There's also just the anti 584 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: traditional uh anti I mean, dare I say anti American 585 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: bent of the Democrat Party that they are so willing 586 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: to be critical of America, always denigrating and finding the 587 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 1: most negative parts of of America's past. Uh, This internationalist, multilateral, multicultural, 588 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: world opinion based view of governance here to America that 589 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: was on the ballot, not just with the presidency, but 590 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: with the major parties, and it was rejected. So, you know, 591 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: you're not hearing a lot about how Democrats have great 592 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: new ideas for healthcare. They're just pretending Obamacare is not 593 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: the dumpster fire that it is. And uh telling us 594 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: all that Trump is a Russian, a Russian pawn, and 595 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: that they hope that he goes to prison, and then 596 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: they're gonna they want investigations. You know, people compare this 597 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 1: to Benghazi, and I just I just want to throw something, 598 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: you know, at the wall when that happens. Um, Okay, 599 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: four people died in Benghazi. They lied. They did lie 600 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: about it as a terrorist attack. They lied about it 601 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: for political reasons. They were incompetent about protecting the compound 602 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: that was under the compounds that were under assault. Um 603 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: there there was, Yeah, there's a reason for an investigation there. 604 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: It was an intervention that Hillary Clinton had pushed for. 605 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: She didn't have a plan, she didn't really know what 606 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: the US was getting into there, and Barack Obama was 607 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: up for reelections. So they lied and people died, and 608 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: we wanted to know what happened. That's that's a real investigation. 609 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: That there's a need for that. Um Trump talk to 610 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: somebody once who had a Russian sounding accent, and you 611 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: know has had Russian stay in his hotels, and we're 612 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: supposed to act like he's got a secret tattoo of 613 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: of the hammer and sickle somewhere.

Hello? 625 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: But this is Sam. I'm I'm calling from North Carolina. 626 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,240 Speaker 1: I like to listen to your radio talk. I'm actually 627 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: from India. I'm I'm gonna. I just wanted to ask 628 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 1: you a question. I'm just playing a Devil's advocate. I 629 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: agree with your thing. I agree everything. But what if 630 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: if the Trump's uh collusion is real and something come up, 631 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: and if it is, I mean, he wants to do 632 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: favorite to Russia and something back to America. What what if? 633 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: What's what happens? Okay? So you're asking me in the 634 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: hypothetical of what if the the worst case scenario that 635 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: we've been led to believe for a while here is 636 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: probably true, which I view as as almost laughably Improbably 637 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: you're asking me what if that were to be true? Like, 638 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: what would my reaction be or what do you think 639 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 1: I would what do I think should happen? No, not 640 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: your reaction, but what will happen? Okay, Yeah, that's um, 641 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: that's more important than my reaction. I agree. I think 642 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: if if they found well, there's there's two different parts 643 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 1: of that question. One of them is if the president 644 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: had broken federal law in some capacity, then I think 645 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: you would have impeachment proceedings. I think he would. I 646 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: think if he was if he was if it looked 647 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,760 Speaker 1: like he was guilty, I think you'd have impeaching proceedings. 648 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: And I think you'd have the president probably resigned before 649 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 1: he could be removed from office, although I don't know. Um, 650 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 1: but and if it's just so, that's if it's a 651 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: criminal issue, and then he might face charges. Although you 652 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: get it on you get into really uncharted and strange 653 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: territory when you get into the possibilities of criminally charging 654 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 1: a president, because it's not really clear you can even 655 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: really do that while he's a president. Uh. And then 656 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: on the other side of it, um, I would say, uh, 657 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: if it's just a political matter. So let's say he 658 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 1: had a conversation with the Russians, and again, I don't 659 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: believe this happened, And I'm just playing out your hypothetical 660 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,840 Speaker 1: because you're you're asking, and I understand, h if he 661 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: had a conversation where he was like, you know, what 662 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: you guys are doing with the email hacking is great 663 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: and I love it, and you know, whatever you can 664 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: do to help me win, you know, fantastic. That's not 665 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: as I understand it. There's nothing illegal about that, but 666 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,439 Speaker 1: it would look really bad. I think that there would 667 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: then be a very serious national conversation, and I think 668 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 1: the Republican Party would have to think about whether, you know, 669 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: they would go forward with impeachment proceedings. But you know, 670 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: for example, even on that I don't think they would. 671 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 1: So it really depends on what this specific. If we're 672 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,240 Speaker 1: talking felony criminal behavior, then then I think the president 673 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: would leave office, uh in one way or another. If 674 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 1: it's just if it just looks bad. I don't think 675 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 1: I think absent a crime. To answer your question as 676 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: succinctly now, or rather to give you a bottom line, 677 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: a bottom line at the very end here, I think 678 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: that without a crime, Trump stays in office. That's what 679 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: I think. I don't want that to be happened at all, 680 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 1: because I I love your country. I mean, like I 681 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,800 Speaker 1: love I'm staying here. We have the same kind of 682 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: government there in India, like conservative more wanted to like 683 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: like give importance to nationality, national issues and all I love. 684 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: I love it. I'm just wondering. So I had this question. No, 685 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: it's a it's a joly fair question. Sam.

All right, letbell check 706 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 1: it out. I gotta see. I'm sure some of the 707 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 1: stuff is probably available on on Netflix. But Dave, you 708 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 1: have a great weekend down in Florida, Sir Shield, hie 709 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: um run in Ohio, w w v A. What's up roun? Hey? 710 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,839 Speaker 1: How are you doing? But first time? I'm good man. 711 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for calling in. Hey, quick question, I'll 712 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 1: be brief. Hey, you know as well as I do. 713 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: When you create a document on any divide, it's digitally 714 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: time stand correct? Actually is that I'm not that good 715 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: with technology? If you tell me? Is that the case? Yes, 716 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: that's the case. All right. So if Comy, if Comey 717 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: had actually created these documents within hours of meeting with 718 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, how come no one's actually have him turn 719 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: over that actual device so they could check the digital 720 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: print on it, the digital time stamp on it. Um, Well, 721 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 1: they might, right, I mean, I I think he probably. 722 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: My My sense of this is that Comy realizes that 723 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 1: whatever he used will be subpoenaed as part of the 724 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 1: Special Council investigation. So it's very likely that Comey's, uh, 725 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: Comy's written testimony will and maybe the device itself, although 726 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, because now we're getting in 727 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 1: the timeline issue, right. And also I know Jeff Sessions 728 00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 1: is not happy with the the well with Comey saying 729 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,280 Speaker 1: that he knew that he was going to refuse himself, 730 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: and he was disparaging Sessions, it seemed in the testimony yesterday. Well, 731 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: let's see, I work. I work in an s I 732 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: U department for a credit card company, and we did 733 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,759 Speaker 1: a lot with the you know, documents were documentary. We 734 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: only see their time stamp and digitally created. So any I, 735 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: any first year I T person can it can retrieve 736 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,839 Speaker 1: that information and I would be interested to see if 737 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: that if that information actually correlates with the dating times 738 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: that he says he put down and writing, because I 739 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 1: wonder if maybe after he got fired, he said, well, 740 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and create these documents and then 741 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,320 Speaker 1: try to create him as to the best of his 742 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 1: recollection and may not be accurate. Yeah, I that would 743 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: be certainly something we would want to know about. And 744 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 1: this is all We're gonna get a lot more information 745 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 1: in time here about what's about what's happened, and I 746 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: think that there will be much more for us to 747 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,360 Speaker 1: uh sort of chew on once we get well, I 748 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 1: guess the Special Counsel Actually, unless there are leaks from it, 749 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: we won't really know much from that for a while. 750 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 1: And my understanding is that much of much of that 751 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 1: work will be in secret. And so yeah, I don't know. Um, 752 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,239 Speaker 1: the comb the Comy situation, I mean, I can say this, 753 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: Comey's ethical invincibility no longer exists to anybody who's being 754 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: honest about the situation. So that's a change. Um, But 755 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 1: did Comey make up the timing of the memo? Did 756 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: is the timeline gonna add up? I'm not sure. We'll 757 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 1: have to see. Well, I gotta go, but I'll leave 758 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 1: you one last thing. Kind of be interesting if maybe 759 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,919 Speaker 1: turns over his deviiace that's hard drive was wiped out, 760 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Oh yeah, or like bleach 761 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,719 Speaker 1: bit like Hillary, because you know she had nothing to 762 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: hide shields time and thanks for calling in Ron. People 763 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: always forget about that, by the way. I mean part 764 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 1: of the email, the Hillary email discussion that I think 765 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: gets lost in in the shuffle is uh that she 766 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 1: took extreme measures to try and get rid of all 767 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: that stuff, you know what I mean? This was not 768 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: she she There was an obvious concern about what was 769 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 1: going on there, that they were erasing at at a 770 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: professional and expert level, information that was on some of 771 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: those hard drive. So I think that that is far 772 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 1: too quickly for my taste, as far too quickly swept 773 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: under the rug or or left aside in these conversations. Um. 774 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 1: Also in Ohio J on w w V, A hey, 775 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: j Hey, how are you doing I'm all right, man, 776 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm good.

Wow, that's dedication. 782 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,360 Speaker 1: I I almost bailed a couple of times now, watched 783 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 1: it on Fox because as well as being a political nerd, 784 00:47:55,360 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 1: I am a conservative political nerd. And I'm sitting there it. 785 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: He just reminds me of one of those sort of 786 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: loser guys that hangs out at the office and never 787 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: really doing his job really well, but does it well 788 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: enough to stay in position and is always kind of 789 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 1: looking for a way to cover himself so he doesn't 790 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 1: get in trouble. But you know, he doesn't really wanna, 791 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, shake anybody up. He doesn't really want to 792 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 1: do anything. He just sort of wants to keep it 793 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: the jobs. He can make his paycheck and go home 794 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,280 Speaker 1: every night. You know. He because everything he said qualified 795 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 1: by I may be wrong or just could be excused 796 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: somehow or I may not be remembering correctly. I'm like, 797 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,319 Speaker 1: what kind of a testimony is that if you went 798 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 1: into court and did that for your your, you know, 799 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 1: personal life in a criminal situation, the prosecutor would own 800 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 1: you and you'd go off to jail. Oh yeah, you 801 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: mean you're like, well, I'll answer your question, but I 802 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 1: could be completely wrong on this one and doing that 803 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 1: over and over again. Yeah, look, comy Coby, this whole thing. 804 00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 1: The way that the way, the way to advance yourself 805 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: in a large government bureaucracy is to do exactly what 806 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,879 Speaker 1: you're told and to be very officious, to be very 807 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 1: all about the rules, and to be all about the 808 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:16,320 Speaker 1: institution itself. So that's do everything by the book until 809 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,400 Speaker 1: someone higher up tells you not to do it by 810 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 1: the book, and then do it the way they're saying, 811 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,800 Speaker 1: but cover your butt while you're doing. I have a 812 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 1: particular distaste for bureaucrats with power because I think that 813 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 1: in order for most in order for most government bureaucrats 814 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: to get very high up the food chain, uh, there 815 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: is a a cultural process that takes place whereby they 816 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: start to think of themselves more as a member of 817 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,240 Speaker 1: that institution than just you know, an American citizen sometimes 818 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: who has his first obligation to the American people in 819 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: the Constitution. I'm not saying always, but this can happen 820 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:54,920 Speaker 1: with people that they become in a sense institutionalized, not 821 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: as in like they're no longer control their faculties, but 822 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 1: that they put the institution first and four most above 823 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 1: all other considerations and concerns. And when you're talking to 824 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 1: people at the FBI or at Justice, had a lot 825 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 1: of power. Uh And, and we should bureaucrats with power, 826 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,800 Speaker 1: you should always be skeptical and always be concerned. But 827 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: Jay in Ohio, man, have a great weekend, Shields. Hi, 828 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 1: thank you very much for calling in.

We're joined by Tiffany Goodbye, former 842 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 1: colleague of mine from my earliest days at The Blaze. 843 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: She is currently editor at Truth Revolt, co founder at 844 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 1: Chatter Media, contributor at The Rebel, and a Senior fellow 845 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,279 Speaker 1: at the London Center for Policy Research. Tiffany, great to 846 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 1: talk to you again. It's been a while. Great to 847 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: talk to you, it has thanks for having me on 848 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 1: the show. Po. I keep seeing stuff on social media 849 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,879 Speaker 1: about this this woman who is an apologist for all 850 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: things Islamism. I am told and I read named Linda's 851 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 1: sar Sore. What who is this person and why is 852 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: she all over the media these days. Well, it's very 853 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,120 Speaker 1: interesting and some say that the left is really grooming 854 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 1: her for some sort of political office. Linda Sarsore kind 855 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,919 Speaker 1: of came on this scene as a Muslim feminist, which 856 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,880 Speaker 1: kind of sounds about oxymoron, particularly considering she's touted women's 857 00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 1: rights and Saudi Arabia. She's very pro Sharia law and um, 858 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: you know, one of the worst things, and we'll get 859 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 1: into those a little bit heavy subject matter for a Friday, um, 860 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:11,719 Speaker 1: but she is actually denigrated victims of female genital mutilation, 861 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:16,320 Speaker 1: which is an absolute barbaric practice that is very prevalent 862 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 1: in the Muslim world. And she said that a victim 863 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:21,920 Speaker 1: of it, I on her theality who you know and 864 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 1: Brigie Gabriel um that she wished she could take their 865 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 1: genitals away. So this is a feminist, mind you. But 866 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 1: yet somehow she's become a darling of the left. Her 867 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,840 Speaker 1: husband and she are both apologists for Hamas and has Allah. 868 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 1: This is all very well documented on social media. And 869 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 1: yet she was one of the organizers of the Women's 870 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:43,320 Speaker 1: March Um which she actually took part in with another 871 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:48,240 Speaker 1: Palestinian terrorist, and uh, this is now the left darling 872 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,880 Speaker 1: and that she has a very loyal following on social media. 873 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: It's kind of funny because Courtney Love of all people, 874 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 1: recently called her out and so that she's certainly no 875 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,320 Speaker 1: feminists and that she's a fraud. And of course Linda 876 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,759 Speaker 1: has her you know, her online social media minions kind 877 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: of defending her at every turn. But she's very anti Israel, 878 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, the whole gamut. But she's she certainly doesn't 879 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,439 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good representative for women's rights. 880 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,279 Speaker 1: And yet that is what the left is kind of 881 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 1: trotting her out. So she she's a defender of Islamism, 882 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 1: a critic of Israel, and claims to be a feminist, 883 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 1: but then also tries to whitewash the realities of female 884 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,760 Speaker 1: general mutilation. This, these are all incongruent things, it seems 885 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,440 Speaker 1: to me, well correct. And she's even denigrated those victims, 886 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,760 Speaker 1: sayings she wished she could take their genitals away entirely. 887 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:41,240 Speaker 1: So it's it's really actually, um, there is a statement. 888 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,360 Speaker 1: I mean it's there. You know, the internet immortalizes everything 889 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,360 Speaker 1: that she wished she could take eye on her c L. 890 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,760 Speaker 1: E S and Brigitte Gabriel's genitals away from them entirely. 891 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 1: So this is the woman who's being she's grotesque, she's 892 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: deeply I see, I don't know much about her. I 893 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 1: need I need to follow what's going on with a 894 00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 1: little more closely. She she is a grotesque and complete, uh, 895 00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:06,800 Speaker 1: disgusting person. I mean that's in her public profile. Or 896 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 1: maybe she's nice in person, but she says disgusting things exactly. 897 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 1: And this the point is, we have sunk so low 898 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,279 Speaker 1: in our discourse and the left will It's actually quite 899 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 1: amazing the things that they will defend and tolerate, um, 900 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,839 Speaker 1: just to be contrariant, what you know, whatever they think 901 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,360 Speaker 1: a conservative might say or do that they would actually 902 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 1: defend a person who holds these really important views. Now, 903 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 1: with regard to female genital mutilation, I'll just touch on 904 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:36,879 Speaker 1: this for a moment um, because it really has become 905 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 1: quite prevalent here in the US. There's a case going 906 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,920 Speaker 1: on in Michigan right now, um, where estimates of up 907 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,240 Speaker 1: to hundreds of girls and possibly more have undergone female 908 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 1: genital mutilation by Muslim doctors in Michigan. And there's a 909 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 1: big case going on right now. Victims are as young 910 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,800 Speaker 1: as seven years old, and the cases here in the 911 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,000 Speaker 1: US have doubled in the last ten years. So I 912 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 1: spoke about this early in the week. But she's she 913 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: is she one of these people that says that it's 914 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 1: no different than the procedure that a lot of men 915 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,319 Speaker 1: go through. Is she one of those She hasn't come 916 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,320 Speaker 1: out and directly said those things, but she advocates for 917 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:17,320 Speaker 1: sharia law. She has again made those disparaging comments about 918 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 1: victims of f GM and it certainly does not use 919 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,319 Speaker 1: her platform to highlight it at all when they are 920 00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,720 Speaker 1: over half a million women and girls in the US 921 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,320 Speaker 1: living as victims of f GM. UM. So, you know, 922 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,600 Speaker 1: she may call herself a feminist, but this is an 923 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 1: issue where she could lead and she's definitely chosen not to. 924 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,360 Speaker 1: What's that statistic? There are half million girls who are victim, 925 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 1: women who are victims of the procedure in the US, 926 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,800 Speaker 1: in the US, and that is staggering, right, and you 927 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 1: don't hear about it. I I did a special, I 928 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,800 Speaker 1: produced a special for the rebel Um last year on 929 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: this and it's just incredible how feminists, the last mainstream 930 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,120 Speaker 1: media are incredibly silent on the fact that half a 931 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 1: million women and girls have and mutilated. I mean, this 932 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 1: is just absolutely abhorrent. And to think that these doctors 933 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 1: in Michigan practiced for over twelve years doing this and um, 934 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:12,840 Speaker 1: you know again it's silent and thank god, you know, 935 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,440 Speaker 1: hopefully they're going to be helped, you know, accountable now. 936 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,520 Speaker 1: But how many other doctors and back from clinics are 937 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,320 Speaker 1: are operating in this same way. And one of the 938 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 1: things I think one of the reasons that this topic 939 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 1: is really squashed is because whatever people do talk about it, 940 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,760 Speaker 1: particularly people on the left or members of the Muslim community, 941 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 1: try to say that this is not a problem unique 942 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,960 Speaker 1: to Islamic cultures and Islamic societies, because it's also practiced 943 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,720 Speaker 1: in Africa, let's say. But the statistics are actually quite different. 944 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,479 Speaker 1: It really is most prevalent in the Arab or should 945 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,280 Speaker 1: say Muslim world. And just because some of those countries 946 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,759 Speaker 1: like Indonesia don't keep great records on those issues because 947 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 1: they want to pretend they don't exist, those are actually 948 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,279 Speaker 1: where they are. It's the widest spread problem. So that's 949 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,880 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why we don't hear a lot 950 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: about it. The social justice warriors once again trying to hide, 951 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,279 Speaker 1: hide the truth and hide facts on certain issues that 952 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,600 Speaker 1: make them uncomfortable, despite the fact that this should be 953 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 1: well beyond the realm of politics. This is just a 954 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 1: basic human rights and dignity issue, uh, tiffany Where can 955 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 1: people go to read your writing?

But look, the point to take away I 976 00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,080 Speaker 1: think for the election is that Theresa May didn't do 977 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,680 Speaker 1: nearly as well as she was emphasific First, tell everybody 978 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 1: what happened because they may have missed it in the 979 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,480 Speaker 1: in the rush of Trump stuff. Theresa May in April 980 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 1: called an election, which you're allowed to do in the 981 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,439 Speaker 1: UK's prime minister. There has to be an election every 982 00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,440 Speaker 1: five years, but as prime minister, you can call one 983 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 1: whenever you want. She called one because the poll showed 984 00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 1: her thirty points and she thought she could add forty 985 00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,040 Speaker 1: seats to her majority in Parliament, which would make passing 986 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,440 Speaker 1: legislation much easier and give her a stronger hand as 987 00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:11,320 Speaker 1: she suggested in the negotiations with Brexit. The reality yesterday 988 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 1: she lost seats, that Conservatives lost their majorities. Now they've 989 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:18,880 Speaker 1: formed a deal, or they will form a deal this 990 00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,800 Speaker 1: weekend with a Conservative party from Northern Ireland, so they'll 991 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,040 Speaker 1: be able to pass legislation. But the point to take 992 00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 1: away is that she called an election, she didn't need 993 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,080 Speaker 1: to to try and strengthen her hand, and she weakened it. 994 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,200 Speaker 1: So it's been a big loss to her credibility, although 995 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 1: she will remain Prime minister. So was the reality here 996 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 1: that she was under the impression that it was a 997 00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 1: mandate for her the the election before this, when when 998 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 1: in reality it was just the Brexit wave with you 999 00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 1: Kip in the mix that she was writing and the 1000 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,120 Speaker 1: moment that it was more about Theresa May didn't work 1001 00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,920 Speaker 1: out as she thought. Yeah, I think that's dad. I 1002 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,280 Speaker 1: also think that the campaign she ran, she refused to 1003 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,920 Speaker 1: attend the that made her look weak, to look arrogant. 1004 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,240 Speaker 1: It was a really stupid thing to do. Even conservatives 1005 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,200 Speaker 1: would say that, and that annoyed Britains. In Britain's like 1006 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:13,600 Speaker 1: to agitate against their politicians, you don't see the same 1007 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,960 Speaker 1: kind of respect as much as that might surprise Americans 1008 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,800 Speaker 1: to have it described that way for politicians in the 1009 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 1: UK as you do in the United States. So I 1010 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,760 Speaker 1: think when she was seen to be calling this election 1011 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,800 Speaker 1: for very sort of you know, party political interests rather 1012 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,960 Speaker 1: than the interests of the country, when she was seen 1013 01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,680 Speaker 1: to be arrogant, a lot of people just decided I'm 1014 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,320 Speaker 1: going to, you know, give a one thing at salute 1015 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:41,280 Speaker 1: at the voting booth. And that is why Jeremy Corbyn, 1016 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 1: who was much more to the left than most Britain's, 1017 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: actually came close to getting in. And I have to 1018 01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 1: say I am breathing, as I think many people would 1019 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,280 Speaker 1: be a sign of release that he did not get 1020 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 1: him because he is, well, he's the anti American, but 1021 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,000 Speaker 1: here so fanatically to the left. Yeah, to tell us 1022 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:02,720 Speaker 1: a bit about Corman. First of all, I saw that 1023 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,360 Speaker 1: he got a substantial portion. I believe it was even 1024 01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 1: an outright majority of younger voters. I think it was 1025 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,840 Speaker 1: under thirty five or close to that demographic category. We're 1026 01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,520 Speaker 1: voting for this guy, Corbin. How how wacko is this guy, 1027 01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,880 Speaker 1: Verry whacko? I mean, you know, Hugo Chavez fan, big 1028 01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 1: fan of Castro. Um, Socialism is the way to go. 1029 01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 1: America is evil in the role it plays in the world. Um. 1030 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,960 Speaker 1: He described La Lebanese, has Bolla and Hamassed as his 1031 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 1: friends and invited them to parliament. He is really really 1032 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,400 Speaker 1: out there. But look, you give the guy credit. He 1033 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,400 Speaker 1: he did what very few Western politicians have been able 1034 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,280 Speaker 1: to do, which is to mobilize young people and get 1035 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,320 Speaker 1: them to turn out. They turned out for him. They 1036 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 1: turned out for him more than Bernie Sanders young supporters considerably. 1037 01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,320 Speaker 1: I mean, they were the crunch factor here. Um. But 1038 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,920 Speaker 1: I also think now that he is essentially the establishment 1039 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 1: labor figure right, He's moved that party to the left, 1040 01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,280 Speaker 1: and because of this result, he will remain the leader 1041 01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,720 Speaker 1: of the opposition as it is termed in the UK, 1042 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 1: there needs to be a tougher pushback from Conservatives, especially 1043 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,560 Speaker 1: to younger voters, both here and in the UK. So 1044 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:16,920 Speaker 1: so Brasi, I've just written a piece which should be 1045 01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,360 Speaker 1: out in the next welcome to be out the next 1046 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 1: couple of days, talking about today the the problems with 1047 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:31,560 Speaker 1: Corbyn's ideology and his record in terms of how you know, 1048 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,400 Speaker 1: they're just not realistic, right If young people care about 1049 01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 1: facts and a disillusioned by lying from politicians, will look 1050 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,920 Speaker 1: at Jeremy Corbyn's sons, his math, what he offers, and 1051 01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:46,080 Speaker 1: look at the record of history and the basic assessments 1052 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,760 Speaker 1: of facts and math in terms of how what he 1053 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,840 Speaker 1: is offering is patently untrue. If we have to call 1054 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 1: this out now as conservatives, I don't think we can. 1055 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,320 Speaker 1: We can sit on our laurels and say, well, he's 1056 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:58,840 Speaker 1: just a big lefty. We have to say, in a 1057 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 1: forensic sense, here is the lie, and you know, here 1058 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,280 Speaker 1: is why it would hurt you. Speaking to Tom Rogan, 1059 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:10,240 Speaker 1: he is calumnists at the Washington Examiner. You can check 1060 01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,960 Speaker 1: out his latest at Washington Examiner dot com. What does 1061 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:17,600 Speaker 1: this mean for if anything, for US UK relations under 1062 01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,840 Speaker 1: May go and the Conservatives with their narrow majority going 1063 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 1: forward is does this change much or is it pretty 1064 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,560 Speaker 1: much going to be business as usual? From the American 1065 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 1: side of things, it's the issue will be it will 1066 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 1: probably encourage Theresa May to be more skeptical of President Trump, 1067 01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,280 Speaker 1: but functionally it won't change things. Theresa May and the 1068 01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: Conservatives who look Theresa May in the next few months 1069 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:47,120 Speaker 1: this is important, may actually be forced to step down. 1070 01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:51,840 Speaker 1: The Conservative backbenches of the MPs, members of Parliament um 1071 01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, who were not part of her ministerial team 1072 01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,040 Speaker 1: are very upset that she ran this poor campaign and 1073 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 1: lost them seats, so they may force her the resign. 1074 01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,880 Speaker 1: But the important point is even if we get a 1075 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 1: new prime minister in the next few months and and 1076 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,439 Speaker 1: you know one caveat there, the party that has the most, 1077 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,960 Speaker 1: that has the majority in Parliament, if they select a 1078 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,400 Speaker 1: new leader, it doesn't require a new election, so so 1079 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 1: it's just an internal party thing. But whoever the next 1080 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 1: Prime Minister is, or if Theresa May stays as Prime Minister, 1081 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,680 Speaker 1: functionally it will not make a difference to the US 1082 01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:28,520 Speaker 1: UK special relationship because whoever that person is, you know, 1083 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 1: to some degree, will value that relationship certainly much much, 1084 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,000 Speaker 1: much more than Jereby Corby would have. Apart from the 1085 01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 1: election resolved, Tom, what's your assessment of Teresa May just 1086 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 1: as as a politician and and her agenda? I mean, what, 1087 01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 1: what what should we know about her? You know, we're 1088 01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,640 Speaker 1: not really that familiar. Obviously we've got our own political 1089 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 1: mess to handle over here. Yeah. Well, look, she one 1090 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,840 Speaker 1: thing she's very good at and perhaps that's the right 1091 01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 1: time for that kind of this kind of leader is 1092 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,280 Speaker 1: counter terrorism. She was the minister responsible for our I five, 1093 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 1: which you know, well the Domestic Intelligence Service has a 1094 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 1: very good reputation as being a calm and prudent leader 1095 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 1: on counter terrorism issues. But beyond that, she's not charismatic. 1096 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,720 Speaker 1: She is quietly arrogant. You wouldn't see her, you know, 1097 01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,120 Speaker 1: making a speech saying how you know, behind the scenes 1098 01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,720 Speaker 1: saying how wonderful she is. She's not like President Trump 1099 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,680 Speaker 1: in that regard. But she doesn't like to listen to counsel. 1100 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,120 Speaker 1: She has a very small group around her. She's also 1101 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,760 Speaker 1: seen as someone who is a sort of big government conservative. 1102 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 1: She she wants low taxes, who wants reforms to some programs, 1103 01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,600 Speaker 1: but she also wants to have a situation in which, 1104 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 1: for example, there is a constantly increasing minimum wage, and 1105 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,560 Speaker 1: you know the like in other areas to get into 1106 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 1: the weeds about you know, corporate tax rom etcetera, which 1107 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 1: which perhaps might not be seen as traditionally free market conservative. 1108 01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 1: So I think she has a problem. But yeah, I 1109 01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,840 Speaker 1: don't see with with people. I've taught two in London 1110 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 1: today the momentum and you know, you know that that 1111 01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:08,000 Speaker 1: when when the momentum shifts in politics, it tends to 1112 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,000 Speaker 1: keep shifting in that direction, especially after an election. So 1113 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:15,120 Speaker 1: I I suspect we will see a leadership election in 1114 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 1: the Conservative Party, probably not in the next month, but 1115 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,160 Speaker 1: probably as we come into the full um, you know, 1116 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:26,040 Speaker 1: for a replacement candidate. Have another piece to picture myself 1117 01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:29,440 Speaker 1: out the Examiner this afternoon on five candidates who are 1118 01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,120 Speaker 1: probably at the top of the list to replace hers, 1119 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 1: so people can read that we're speaking of Tom Rogan 1120 01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 1: of the Washington Examiner. Tom, what's the latest on the 1121 01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 1: the individuals behind the London London Bridge attacks and their 1122 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:46,400 Speaker 1: connections to other jihadas from what we know? Yeah, well, look, 1123 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,720 Speaker 1: I mean we've seen this. It's very int the British 1124 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,480 Speaker 1: keeping that investigation very quiet. They want to avoid some 1125 01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,240 Speaker 1: of the leaks that came out of the US press 1126 01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:59,960 Speaker 1: after the Manchester attack. But I think it's going to 1127 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,320 Speaker 1: turn out that there's going to be a more direct 1128 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:07,520 Speaker 1: hand vices involvement here, especially with um you know, in 1129 01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:11,520 Speaker 1: the Manchester attack in terms of the training for to 1130 01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:16,640 Speaker 1: make the explosive device. But in London at the sense 1131 01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:20,000 Speaker 1: of of which these individuals, at least in one case, 1132 01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 1: we're not known to the authorities. He's odd. It's different, 1133 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:24,920 Speaker 1: you know. And I say that it's different in the 1134 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,640 Speaker 1: sense that in the UK people complain about civil liberties. 1135 01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:32,440 Speaker 1: Here in the UK, if the intelligence services want to 1136 01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 1: monitor you, they don't need a judicial warrant. The Home 1137 01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 1: Secretary of politician can authorize that. And of course the 1138 01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 1: politicians interest is avoiding a situation whereafter an attack someone 1139 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,520 Speaker 1: can say, well, we gave them a request to monitor 1140 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,360 Speaker 1: this person and she he or she said no, So 1141 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 1: the politicians always accepted. So the British literally had hundreds 1142 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 1: of thousand files on people, most of which have promised. 1143 01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,919 Speaker 1: But but the fact that didn't even know this guy 1144 01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: that he wasn't on the counter terrorism radar suggests that 1145 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:06,400 Speaker 1: is the skill with some of their operatives in taking 1146 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:12,080 Speaker 1: very very operationally Um you know, well, the operational security 1147 01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:16,720 Speaker 1: that was shown in this in this event is concerning, 1148 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,519 Speaker 1: I think in terms of what it might say about 1149 01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:23,439 Speaker 1: connectivity with ISIS central and that this would not be, 1150 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,960 Speaker 1: for example, an omar matine started inspired attack that that is. 1151 01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:31,840 Speaker 1: That is my intuition on this thus far. Tom Rogan 1152 01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:33,920 Speaker 1: of what of the Washington Examiner check out his latest 1153 01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,439 Speaker 1: at Washington Examiner dot com. Tom, great to have you, sir, 1154 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 1: have a fantastic weekend. You too, back. Thanks a lot, 1155 01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:41,160 Speaker 1: And I would say as well, at the moment, with 1156 01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:43,720 Speaker 1: the all the stuff going on with this terrorism, it 1157 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 1: it's glad that we have an x C I a 1158 01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 1: person who is not full of it talking about this 1159 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:50,800 Speaker 1: stuff on the conservative side because you know, and I 1160 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 1: know there are a lot of those people. Thank you, 1161 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,840 Speaker 1: you're you're very kind. I appreciate that. Yeah, have a 1162 01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 1: good weekend, man. Yeah, you know, I I try to, uh, 1163 01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,920 Speaker 1: you know, I I downplay most of my uh counter 1164 01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,640 Speaker 1: terrorism background. And I'm always amazed that there are so 1165 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 1: many people who go on television who are in this 1166 01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:15,640 Speaker 1: endless loop of uh self aggrandizing and pretending that they 1167 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:21,759 Speaker 1: had much more in depth and hands on experience and knowledge, 1168 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,640 Speaker 1: and they do. I mean the test. It seems to 1169 01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 1: me for some of these people to go on TV 1170 01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: and talk about terrorism is much more a political one 1171 01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:35,160 Speaker 1: than a an experiential or knowledge based one, which comes 1172 01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 1: across when you watch on these segments if you were 1173 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,840 Speaker 1: actually a practitioner, you can see oftentimes there are people 1174 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,040 Speaker 1: that just are saying things that anybody could say, and 1175 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,920 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with any background in counter 1176 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:51,720 Speaker 1: terrorism whatsoever. It's just the most baseline talking points that 1177 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,000 Speaker 1: are serving a partisan purpose. So I appreciate that that 1178 01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 1: was an unsolicited plug from Tom, but it was very 1179 01:09:57,920 --> 01:09:59,840 Speaker 1: kind of him, and Tom's a good man team. We 1180 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,680 Speaker 1: are going to go into a quick break here. We 1181 01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,800 Speaker 1: have a lot more show, including a third hour free 1182 01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:20,920 Speaker 1: of Komby. I'll be right back. Fix it up with 1183 01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:24,240 Speaker 1: a little history, shall we. So today is June nine, 1184 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,439 Speaker 1: as you know tow No, but you may not know 1185 01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,599 Speaker 1: that it is the anniversary from quite a ways back 1186 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 1: of the Abbasid Revolution. You're like, Buck, what is the 1187 01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:41,000 Speaker 1: Abbosite Revolution? Well, the Abbasides were a dynasty. In fact, 1188 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:45,479 Speaker 1: the Apposide was a caliphate, and the Apposite revolution was 1189 01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:50,320 Speaker 1: when the Umayads, who had previously been holders of the 1190 01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:55,000 Speaker 1: caliphate Mantle, began to lose it to the dynasty that 1191 01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,080 Speaker 1: would supplant them, the Abbosite. So let's step this back 1192 01:10:58,080 --> 01:10:59,600 Speaker 1: a little bit, just so I give you some of 1193 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 1: the um some of the back stories, so that you 1194 01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:05,280 Speaker 1: can understand why I'm even telling you about this in 1195 01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 1: the first place. Uh, this happened in the The Abbaside 1196 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:15,400 Speaker 1: Revolution happened in the eighth century a d. Seven forty seven, 1197 01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 1: forty six, In fact, on June nine, which one I'm 1198 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,360 Speaker 1: talking about it. So when the Abbaside Revolution began, um 1199 01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,800 Speaker 1: and they, as I said, we're taking they were taking 1200 01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:27,320 Speaker 1: power from the Maid's. Uh. You have to go even 1201 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 1: earlier than that though. And in fact, here's another little 1202 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,400 Speaker 1: bit of his history trivia for you. Yesterday is the 1203 01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:35,640 Speaker 1: day that it has said the prophet Mohammed died. He 1204 01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:40,800 Speaker 1: is supposed to have passed away on June eight, in 1205 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:45,439 Speaker 1: six thirty two. And right after Mohammed you have a 1206 01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:49,960 Speaker 1: series of succession struggles. If you're gonna understand early well, 1207 01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 1: any Midy's history really. But if you're gonna understand the 1208 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:55,280 Speaker 1: early history of Islam, you think about it in terms 1209 01:11:55,560 --> 01:12:01,000 Speaker 1: of lineage and dynasty and and tribal six fashion, and 1210 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:05,280 Speaker 1: then everything begins to fall into place. But it's immensely complicated, 1211 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:09,360 Speaker 1: and the history is not always great depending on which 1212 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,439 Speaker 1: are you're in in terms of the accuracy and the 1213 01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:16,120 Speaker 1: primary sources. But right after the prophet dies, you have 1214 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:23,280 Speaker 1: the Rushi Dun Caliphate, the rightly Guided Caliphate or caliphs rather, 1215 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,880 Speaker 1: which is what they were called um and then you 1216 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:31,880 Speaker 1: had the Umayad's. Now the Umayads were run out of Damascus, 1217 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,120 Speaker 1: so that was their capital. Uh the Abbasids would be 1218 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,920 Speaker 1: run out of Baghdad later on, But like I said, 1219 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:40,920 Speaker 1: we'll get there. But in the earliest days, right after 1220 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:45,439 Speaker 1: Mohammed died, there was a back and forth over leadership. 1221 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:49,639 Speaker 1: There was a leadership struggle, and some wanted to make 1222 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:54,000 Speaker 1: the the ummah the Muslim community a p based on 1223 01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:57,400 Speaker 1: lineage directly to Mohammed, and others thought that it should 1224 01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:01,240 Speaker 1: be the leaders of the community picking someone to lead 1225 01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:06,120 Speaker 1: the uma of the Islamic community, and Abu Baker was there. 1226 01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:11,240 Speaker 1: This then broke down into what became the Shia Sunni split. Right, Sunni, 1227 01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,920 Speaker 1: here's those who follow the sun or the traditions, the 1228 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,759 Speaker 1: traditions of the prophet. And that's most of the Muslim 1229 01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,680 Speaker 1: world today. By the way, about eight percent of the 1230 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:23,560 Speaker 1: Muslim world is Sunni, or they follow Sunni Islam and 1231 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:27,920 Speaker 1: about ish roughly speaking, comes from Shia to Ali, the 1232 01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:32,759 Speaker 1: partisans of Ali. And in fact, at the Battle of Karbala, 1233 01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:36,919 Speaker 1: Hussaining ebn Ali from the guy who gave us Shiatli, 1234 01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,519 Speaker 1: who was Mohammed's grandson, he was killed. That was in 1235 01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:44,840 Speaker 1: six eighty See well, in the decades after that, the Umads, 1236 01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,519 Speaker 1: through a series of very rapid conquests, stretch all the 1237 01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,920 Speaker 1: way from Spain to the Indus River. I mean, they 1238 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:56,680 Speaker 1: just are taking control of everything um and they are 1239 01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,040 Speaker 1: Arab and they are Muslim. Well, part of the problem 1240 01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,240 Speaker 1: come with their treatment of non Muslims and in fact 1241 01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:07,479 Speaker 1: even Muslims who are non Arab um And this wasn't 1242 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,000 Speaker 1: the first time, by the way, there was, or this 1243 01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,040 Speaker 1: isn't the only schism, I should say, Sunny Shia schism. 1244 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,800 Speaker 1: There was also an early sect within Islam in the 1245 01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:21,880 Speaker 1: in the immediate decades after Mohammed died called the Karagites. 1246 01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,000 Speaker 1: That's from the Arabic for al khariji, which is to 1247 01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,840 Speaker 1: to leave or to exit. But these were the earliest 1248 01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:34,280 Speaker 1: heretics um and they were extremists. They also practiced toch fear, 1249 01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:36,640 Speaker 1: which means that they thought that Muslims who did not 1250 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: agree with their interpretation were no longer Muslims. And so 1251 01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,120 Speaker 1: there are some who would say that al Qaeda in 1252 01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:46,519 Speaker 1: the Islamic State today because of their toch fear touch 1253 01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:51,640 Speaker 1: fury practices, are the modern day Karagites. But the Umayads 1254 01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:56,560 Speaker 1: were ruling from Damascus and in Chorussan, which is the 1255 01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:01,519 Speaker 1: region that has really Iran and the surrounding stands and Afghanistan. UH. 1256 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:04,200 Speaker 1: There was the there was an uprising. It started on 1257 01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:10,280 Speaker 1: June nine, six h There was a fitna discord disagreement. Well, 1258 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,439 Speaker 1: the first Fitna and Islam refers to a civil war, 1259 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:17,519 Speaker 1: but this was another civil war within the Uma and 1260 01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:21,439 Speaker 1: the Abbyssids, which comes from Ali Bas. By the way, 1261 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:25,559 Speaker 1: Ali Bas was one of the prophet Mohammed's uncles. That's 1262 01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:30,080 Speaker 1: where that name comes from. Eventually, we're able through this UH. 1263 01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:34,160 Speaker 1: Through this fighting starting in Korassan, which is roughly speaking Iran, 1264 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,080 Speaker 1: and this was driven in part by Persians who felt 1265 01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:40,840 Speaker 1: they were being mistreated by their Arab Muslim overlords and 1266 01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,439 Speaker 1: Damascus the Umads. But it was Persians and others were 1267 01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:48,680 Speaker 1: able to overthrow that dynasty, seized power and establish their 1268 01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:53,560 Speaker 1: seat of power from the origins of the revolution in 1269 01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:58,720 Speaker 1: Chorissan in Baghdad, and then you had a couple of 1270 01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:04,880 Speaker 1: hundred years of Abbaside rule Um from Baghdad and was 1271 01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 1: one of the most impressive caliphates in terms of its 1272 01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:13,320 Speaker 1: expansion is Um and control. So happy Abbaside Revolution Day, everybody, 1273 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 1: June nine.

First came the Women's March, and 1278 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:45,600 Speaker 1: then there was the Climate March. Now, my friends, you 1279 01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:49,559 Speaker 1: can all get ready for yet another anti Trump extravaganza, 1280 01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:56,519 Speaker 1: this time the Equality March. That is not specifically anti Trump, 1281 01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:58,920 Speaker 1: but of course it comes at a time when progressives 1282 01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:02,320 Speaker 1: believe the left in this country is under the impression 1283 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:08,040 Speaker 1: that they are under constant assault, and anything that is 1284 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:13,880 Speaker 1: identified as a progressive cause, any liberal policy agenda item 1285 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:19,240 Speaker 1: is viewed as in the midst of an unprecedented attack 1286 01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:24,679 Speaker 1: by the Trump administration, despite no actual absence of attack 1287 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 1: in some cases. Right. I do think it's fascinating that 1288 01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,760 Speaker 1: there will be so many people who talk about how 1289 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 1: the Equality March as it is being called, and it 1290 01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:37,400 Speaker 1: will be this Sunday and in cities across the country, 1291 01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:42,080 Speaker 1: certainly in Washington, d C. But all across the country. Uh, 1292 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 1: this is the Equality March for Unity and Pride, which 1293 01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:52,519 Speaker 1: is a protest by and for lgbt Q people, and 1294 01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:58,040 Speaker 1: it has expected a few hundred thousand protesters or marchers 1295 01:17:58,160 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 1: or or both. I don't I don't know if it's 1296 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:01,840 Speaker 1: a protest or a march per se. I think you 1297 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:06,599 Speaker 1: could argue that it is both. But Donald Trump, at 1298 01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,920 Speaker 1: a few different points in his campaign made quite clear 1299 01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:16,120 Speaker 1: that he's uh completely friendly to and supportive of the 1300 01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:23,400 Speaker 1: lgbt Q community. It's it's a worthwhile historical note. I 1301 01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:27,080 Speaker 1: think that President Barack Obama, when he was trying to 1302 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:30,360 Speaker 1: win election and for the first few years of his presidency, 1303 01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:36,800 Speaker 1: was a traditional marriage candidate. I E. President Obama was 1304 01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,400 Speaker 1: well into his forties, somebody who as a matter of 1305 01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 1: public policy, believe that marriage was between a man and 1306 01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:50,519 Speaker 1: a woman, and received almost no blowback for that position whatsoever. 1307 01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:53,560 Speaker 1: There was really not much of a not much of 1308 01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:56,519 Speaker 1: an uproar about it. And as we remember, Joe Biden 1309 01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,280 Speaker 1: was the one who first seemed to break the ice 1310 01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:04,080 Speaker 1: for the administration on the issue of of same sex marriage. 1311 01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:08,680 Speaker 1: But at a time when if you're the CEO of 1312 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,880 Speaker 1: a tech company in California, you can after the fact 1313 01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 1: lose your job and be punished for previous support of 1314 01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:20,200 Speaker 1: traditional marriage in the state of California through ballot referendum, 1315 01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,000 Speaker 1: which many of you will recall that actually happened to 1316 01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 1: a a tech ceo he in two thousand and eight, 1317 01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:31,080 Speaker 1: I guess it was, had supported the ballot referendum in 1318 01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:34,160 Speaker 1: California regarding same sex marriage well to make it to 1319 01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,240 Speaker 1: to not uh support same sex marriage, and later on 1320 01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:40,120 Speaker 1: he was fired from his position because that support came out. 1321 01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,400 Speaker 1: Barack Obama was a traditional marriage candidate until he wasn't, 1322 01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,519 Speaker 1: and everybody was fine with it, and they just moved on. 1323 01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:51,360 Speaker 1: You'll never hear people really talk much about this, uh. 1324 01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:55,320 Speaker 1: This issue, and they just act like Barack Obama all 1325 01:19:55,320 --> 01:20:00,400 Speaker 1: along was going to be a same sex marriage advocate. 1326 01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:05,080 Speaker 1: But as another aside, if you recall their Hillary Clinton, 1327 01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:10,640 Speaker 1: this would Texas just to name one where that is 1328 01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:13,680 Speaker 1: still going to be an ongoing struggle. I'm pretty sure 1329 01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:15,720 Speaker 1: you didn't answer my question about whether you evolved or 1330 01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:17,560 Speaker 1: was the American public to change with you, because I 1331 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:19,719 Speaker 1: set out an American so of course we all evolved, 1332 01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,080 Speaker 1: and I think that that's a fair. So your opinion 1333 01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,040 Speaker 1: conclue you're sending your opinion on gay marriage changed as 1334 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:26,920 Speaker 1: opposed to you know, you just felt it was something 1335 01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:31,120 Speaker 1: somebody is always first, Harry, somebody's always out front, and 1336 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,720 Speaker 1: thank goodness, they are um. But that doesn't mean that 1337 01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:39,120 Speaker 1: those who joined later, uh, in being publicly supportive or 1338 01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:43,680 Speaker 1: even privately accepting that there needs to be changed, are 1339 01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:47,479 Speaker 1: any less committed. You could not be having the sweep 1340 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:51,400 Speaker 1: of marriage equality across our country. Uh if nobody changed 1341 01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:55,280 Speaker 1: their mind, and that was Hillary Clinton with this NPR 1342 01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,000 Speaker 1: radio host. And I give the NPR host credit because 1343 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,320 Speaker 1: us to to tangle with Hillary in this way and 1344 01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,680 Speaker 1: point out her obvious flip flop on this. Remember her 1345 01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:08,880 Speaker 1: husband Bill signed the Defense of Marriage Act. It was 1346 01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:12,599 Speaker 1: politically popular at the time. Uh, and Hillary had been 1347 01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,360 Speaker 1: a traditional marriage candidate, whatever you want to say about 1348 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,479 Speaker 1: how traditional her marriage is, for quite a long time 1349 01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,240 Speaker 1: in public office. Remember, this isn't a private citizen who 1350 01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:23,120 Speaker 1: then gets into office and changes. This is somebody who 1351 01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,360 Speaker 1: has been in public office. And you can just hear 1352 01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,200 Speaker 1: and then an interview. By the way, one of the 1353 01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:32,200 Speaker 1: the defining characteristics of Hillary Clinton, which is just a 1354 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:36,320 Speaker 1: a phony nous that drips off of her, a phoniness 1355 01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,320 Speaker 1: that comes across in her voice, in her words, is 1356 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, well, are there always table who were first? 1357 01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:47,479 Speaker 1: And she did not like being challenged in this interview. 1358 01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 1: By the way, this is a fun little throwback. It's 1359 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:50,920 Speaker 1: Friday said, why not here? I just want to play 1360 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:54,759 Speaker 1: a little more of this NPR Hillary running for office 1361 01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:58,320 Speaker 1: getting called out on being a flip flopper on same 1362 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:04,320 Speaker 1: sex marriage. Here's what happened. So that's one for you 1363 01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:07,960 Speaker 1: changed your mind? You know, I really I have to say, 1364 01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 1: I think you are very persistent, but you are playing 1365 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,040 Speaker 1: with my words and playing with what is such a 1366 01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,240 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to clarishy so I can understand. No, 1367 01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:19,200 Speaker 1: I don't think you are trying to clarify. I think 1368 01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:20,800 Speaker 1: you're trying to say that, you know, I used to 1369 01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,960 Speaker 1: be opposed and now I'm in favor, and I did 1370 01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,800 Speaker 1: it for political reasons, and that's just that's exactly why 1371 01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,559 Speaker 1: she did it. I mean, does he really think we're 1372 01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:31,479 Speaker 1: all that stupid? But the answers yes, which is why 1373 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 1: Hillary UH didn't win. Um, if she had been a 1374 01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 1: better candidate, a more compelling candidate, despite the Trumpian surge, 1375 01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:42,200 Speaker 1: I think it would well, it certainly would have been 1376 01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:46,719 Speaker 1: closer than it was. But Hillary is a huge phony 1377 01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:50,479 Speaker 1: on this issue. Barack Obama was able to evolve, as 1378 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,519 Speaker 1: they say, on this issue. I believe that was his 1379 01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,560 Speaker 1: word where it was Biden's word, or maybe it was 1380 01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,240 Speaker 1: both of them using that word. But now we have 1381 01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 1: marches for the LGBT q UH and there's a plus 1382 01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:02,680 Speaker 1: at the end of it. And I asked this in 1383 01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:04,840 Speaker 1: all services, I do not know what the plus. I 1384 01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:08,840 Speaker 1: guess that means and more or something like, etcetera. But 1385 01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,400 Speaker 1: because I see in Vox, which I take as because 1386 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:18,040 Speaker 1: it's a very left wing progressive site, Vox is two progressives. 1387 01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,439 Speaker 1: What UM, I don't know. I just realized what the 1388 01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:23,559 Speaker 1: New York Times is the Progressive and it's all the same, 1389 01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:25,760 Speaker 1: isn't it. They all take the same positions, But for 1390 01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 1: the l g B t Q plus community to have 1391 01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,920 Speaker 1: a specific march, remember it's not Pride. This is Gay 1392 01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,160 Speaker 1: Pride Month, and a New York City where I live, 1393 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:38,479 Speaker 1: there will be the Gay Pride or just they just 1394 01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,240 Speaker 1: call it pride now pardon me, uh, they just call 1395 01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:45,519 Speaker 1: it pride. The Pride parade which I have inadvertently, uh 1396 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 1: seen and been around many times because it happens in 1397 01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:51,200 Speaker 1: my neighborhood where I live. It actually goes right past 1398 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:53,720 Speaker 1: where well, where I used to live, used to go 1399 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:55,880 Speaker 1: right past the window. So for the entire day, if 1400 01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:57,960 Speaker 1: I was in New York City, I would hear and 1401 01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:02,120 Speaker 1: see pretty much all of it. Um, But Pride isn't 1402 01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:06,520 Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. This is a specific addendum 1403 01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,639 Speaker 1: to the series of marches. And look, you know, Pride 1404 01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,280 Speaker 1: us that that's great. I hope everyone has a you know, 1405 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:17,400 Speaker 1: a great day. But the Women's March, the March for Science, 1406 01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:20,160 Speaker 1: and now the Equality March, these are all supposed to 1407 01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:24,559 Speaker 1: be in a series of raising awareness of the looming 1408 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:27,560 Speaker 1: fascism of Donald Trump. And what a terrible person Trump is. 1409 01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:30,599 Speaker 1: And I just have to say, I think it's really 1410 01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:36,160 Speaker 1: disingenuous for activists and people that follow these issues closely 1411 01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:40,000 Speaker 1: and very passionately to allow there to be this perception 1412 01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:44,879 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is hostile to the lgbt Q community. 1413 01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:47,320 Speaker 1: There's just no basis for it. In fact, I believe 1414 01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:50,880 Speaker 1: he held up a Pride flag, the rainbow Rainbow flag 1415 01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:54,200 Speaker 1: at one of his rallies during the campaign. I mean 1416 01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,720 Speaker 1: just just took it from the crowd and held it up. Uh. 1417 01:24:56,960 --> 01:25:00,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a New Yorker like me, um, and 1418 01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,240 Speaker 1: there's something about being a New Yorker. I will say 1419 01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,720 Speaker 1: that you just get used to accepting everybody and you 1420 01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:10,960 Speaker 1: let people do their thing, and uh, you're you're just 1421 01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:13,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is just not anti anti gay or anti 1422 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,679 Speaker 1: l g b t Q in any capacity. There's nothing 1423 01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,519 Speaker 1: about him that suggests that. But this march is supposed 1424 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 1: to imply it, right, just like all the endless coverage 1425 01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:24,400 Speaker 1: of Russia and all that stuff is supposed to imply 1426 01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:28,080 Speaker 1: that he's a trader. This equality March, and no problem 1427 01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:30,080 Speaker 1: with the pality march is, by the way, peaceful marches, 1428 01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:32,040 Speaker 1: And isn't it a shame that we even have to 1429 01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:34,640 Speaker 1: specify that now. But people want to get together and 1430 01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:38,720 Speaker 1: get the permits and whatever their political cause, maybe God 1431 01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,559 Speaker 1: bless this is America, you know. Will I make fun 1432 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,639 Speaker 1: of their message sometime if I think people are acting 1433 01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:46,559 Speaker 1: like idiots, as has happened during the Women's March in particular, 1434 01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,960 Speaker 1: but the Climate March as well. All the Climate March 1435 01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:51,160 Speaker 1: was like the coldest, rainiest, nastiest day here in New 1436 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,680 Speaker 1: York City. It's like, yeah, climate, It's a tough one, 1437 01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:57,960 Speaker 1: isn't it. But I'm fine with this in principle, and 1438 01:25:58,080 --> 01:25:59,639 Speaker 1: I think all of us are you want to march, 1439 01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:01,479 Speaker 1: you want, you know, hold up your placards and and 1440 01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:04,120 Speaker 1: talk about your issue. That's great, But I just think 1441 01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:06,880 Speaker 1: that there's a dishonesty behind this one. In particular. You 1442 01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:10,160 Speaker 1: can say that Trump, because of his statements is he's 1443 01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,200 Speaker 1: not a climate alarmist, and he hasn't. He's got guys 1444 01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,080 Speaker 1: like Scott Prude of the e p A who are 1445 01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:19,000 Speaker 1: not climate alarmists, So fine. You can say he's anti 1446 01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:22,600 Speaker 1: women for well, a whole bunch of reasons that the 1447 01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:26,640 Speaker 1: Democrats raised during the campaign. Um, But given that the 1448 01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:31,160 Speaker 1: Democrat Party just completely excuses Bill Clinton. Never mind the 1449 01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:34,320 Speaker 1: Kennedy's Teddy Kennedy. I mean you go down the line 1450 01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:40,760 Speaker 1: of all the philandering, abusing, true misogynists who are held 1451 01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:44,800 Speaker 1: up as the as as figureheads. I mean, we're held 1452 01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:47,600 Speaker 1: up as the great names of the twentieth century and 1453 01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:51,000 Speaker 1: into the twenty first century Democrat Party. Uh, it's it's 1454 01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,439 Speaker 1: a disgrace. So it's very hard to take them seriously 1455 01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:58,960 Speaker 1: on that issue. Um. But looking at this, this March 1456 01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:03,320 Speaker 1: for Equality, It's gonna happen this Sunday, and I'm sure 1457 01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:04,880 Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of anti Trump signs, and I 1458 01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:08,200 Speaker 1: just hope some people are asked the question, why is 1459 01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:14,519 Speaker 1: it that Donald Trump is the first president? Remember this, 1460 01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:18,680 Speaker 1: he is the first president to have been uh from 1461 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:22,880 Speaker 1: the from the get go, um, fine with same sex 1462 01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:26,920 Speaker 1: marriage from his first day in office, and Barack Obama 1463 01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,080 Speaker 1: was not officially on the record, he was a traditional 1464 01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,840 Speaker 1: matt marriage candidate. And yet they're having this march when 1465 01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,960 Speaker 1: when Trump is president. How is Trump a threat to 1466 01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:38,559 Speaker 1: the l b g t Q community in what way? 1467 01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:40,240 Speaker 1: I mean? I know people could contract. Ah, well, his 1468 01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:43,240 Speaker 1: Supreme Court picks down the line, but he's not hostile 1469 01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:48,040 Speaker 1: to the l g b t Q community. So why 1470 01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,920 Speaker 1: is it uh a march that needs to happen really 1471 01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:54,680 Speaker 1: if it's about Trump. Now they may claim that it's 1472 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,200 Speaker 1: not about Trump, but that seems also to be on 1473 01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:00,240 Speaker 1: its face, not really honest, because you had the Women March, 1474 01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:02,160 Speaker 1: the Climate March, now the l l g b t 1475 01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:05,080 Speaker 1: Q March. I'm sure there's if there isn't already planned, 1476 01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:07,160 Speaker 1: there will be at some point in a legal immigrants march. 1477 01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:08,760 Speaker 1: They'll call it an immigrant march, but they mean an 1478 01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:11,880 Speaker 1: I legal immigrant march. So I think that that's something 1479 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,840 Speaker 1: else that we should all be ready for down the line. 1480 01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:17,519 Speaker 1: And I just wish that there was a little more 1481 01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:22,639 Speaker 1: honesty with what Trump, with what Trump's faults are. There 1482 01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:25,640 Speaker 1: are places where I can understand that progressives and Democrats 1483 01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:31,160 Speaker 1: are going to have obvious disagreements with the President. They 1484 01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:35,720 Speaker 1: clearly have uh sweeping disdain for the president. But to 1485 01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:39,320 Speaker 1: claim that he is this threat to lgbt Q issues, 1486 01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:43,200 Speaker 1: it's just it's just nonsense. It's just disconnected. It's just 1487 01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:47,360 Speaker 1: disconnected from reality. And I wonder what the coverage will 1488 01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 1: be like, Oh, this march on Sunday, um I will 1489 01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,320 Speaker 1: be looking eagerly at the newspapers to see what they 1490 01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:56,360 Speaker 1: have to say about this UH team. We are going 1491 01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,719 Speaker 1: to hit a quick break. We've got much more coming. 1492 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:17,760 Speaker 1: Let's stay with me. Speaking of marches, the Puerto Rican 1493 01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:21,679 Speaker 1: Day Parade here in New York City is also happening 1494 01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday. So in d C and other cities across 1495 01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:27,640 Speaker 1: the country, you have the March for Equality. Here in 1496 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:31,080 Speaker 1: New York City, you have one of the largest parades 1497 01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:35,200 Speaker 1: in the city, and I would assume therefore in the 1498 01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:38,880 Speaker 1: country as well. And just for the purposes of full disclosure, 1499 01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:43,040 Speaker 1: let me say this. I don't like parades. The only 1500 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 1: parades that I can get behind. You get excited about 1501 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:54,680 Speaker 1: our uh celebrations of veterans. That's pretty much it. I 1502 01:29:55,520 --> 01:30:00,040 Speaker 1: can't even say, as somebody who's roughly half Irish in 1503 01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:05,080 Speaker 1: terms of my descents UH descents, gosh descendants, or where 1504 01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:08,960 Speaker 1: I descend from from whom I descend uh, I can't 1505 01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:10,679 Speaker 1: even get that excited at the Saint Patrick's Day parade. 1506 01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:12,719 Speaker 1: I just don't like parades. It's not even really about 1507 01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:15,759 Speaker 1: the subject matter. Again, I make an exception for veterans parades, 1508 01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,720 Speaker 1: but other than that, I feel like they in a 1509 01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:21,920 Speaker 1: in an urban place like New York, they just clog 1510 01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:24,760 Speaker 1: up the whole city. There's a tremendous les mess left 1511 01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:28,240 Speaker 1: behind afterwards. And it's just always kind of a letdown. 1512 01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:30,479 Speaker 1: You know. You stand there and it just goes on 1513 01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:33,960 Speaker 1: and on, and you're standing and it goes on, and 1514 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:36,880 Speaker 1: I don't understand. I think parades are one of the 1515 01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:41,840 Speaker 1: more overrated parts of ore. I don't know, of of 1516 01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,240 Speaker 1: American culture. We we have this thing about parades all 1517 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:46,960 Speaker 1: the time, and I just I don't know, I don't 1518 01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:48,920 Speaker 1: really get it. You know, it doesn't really make sense 1519 01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:50,840 Speaker 1: that people want to stand and watch the parade. Look, 1520 01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:53,160 Speaker 1: it's fine, I'm not putting it down. It's just not 1521 01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:56,120 Speaker 1: my thing. I don't I don't like parades. But then again, 1522 01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,439 Speaker 1: I'm krim mudgeon lee and don't like shoes that aren't 1523 01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,920 Speaker 1: super comp rble, and also hate when people whistle in 1524 01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:07,400 Speaker 1: public or get very aggravated when I'm uh in a 1525 01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:10,160 Speaker 1: movie theater and someone starts talking. So I look, I've 1526 01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:12,240 Speaker 1: got some issues. I understand that, but I don't like 1527 01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:16,080 Speaker 1: parades as a general rule. So I'll just put that 1528 01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:19,400 Speaker 1: out there for purposes of fairness. Parades and and you 1529 01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:23,120 Speaker 1: know another one picnics. People always well, you know, picnic, Oh, 1530 01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:24,880 Speaker 1: it's so fun. You get the basket and you get 1531 01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:27,120 Speaker 1: out there. It's like, well, first of all, am I 1532 01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:30,599 Speaker 1: am I sitting on the ground during this picnic? Well? 1533 01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:34,240 Speaker 1: What am I? Is that supposed to be comfortable? By 1534 01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:35,800 Speaker 1: the way, what kind of pants am I supposed to wear? 1535 01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:37,320 Speaker 1: That I'm sitting on the grass or the dirt? And 1536 01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't I don't care about them? All right. I 1537 01:31:39,160 --> 01:31:41,840 Speaker 1: know I'm sounding again curmudgiently, but let's let's get real 1538 01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,439 Speaker 1: about picnics for a second. So you sit down in 1539 01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:49,200 Speaker 1: the grass and you know what, uh you then where 1540 01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:51,280 Speaker 1: does that? You know? You're supposed to be okay with this? 1541 01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:53,160 Speaker 1: All right? Anyway, So picnics are not as fun as 1542 01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:55,920 Speaker 1: people said. Also, you always forget something, you know, You're like, oh, 1543 01:31:56,280 --> 01:32:00,760 Speaker 1: where is where is my my fig? Uh? You know, 1544 01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:04,560 Speaker 1: jam that I need to make sure that Mike the 1545 01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:07,120 Speaker 1: flavors of my camelbart come out properly. You know, I 1546 01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:10,760 Speaker 1: know I'm sounding a little little, uh, little petty bourgeois here, 1547 01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:12,160 Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying. I just don't like 1548 01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:15,200 Speaker 1: I don't like picnics. I don't like parades. Puertogan a 1549 01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:17,439 Speaker 1: parade will happened this Saturday, I mean this Sunday in 1550 01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:20,639 Speaker 1: New York City and it is getting some attention because 1551 01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:23,960 Speaker 1: of the politics that have intruded on it this year. 1552 01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:32,320 Speaker 1: Um you have Oscar Lopez Rivera, who will who will 1553 01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:36,280 Speaker 1: be marching? He will be an honored guest. Who is 1554 01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:39,240 Speaker 1: a He was a convicted of sedious conspiracy. And this 1555 01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:42,439 Speaker 1: guy was involved the terrorist organization. He was involved the 1556 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:45,559 Speaker 1: f A l N that killed people and down at 1557 01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:50,400 Speaker 1: France's tavern planet a bomb. They wanted Puerto Rican independence. 1558 01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:52,800 Speaker 1: By the way, Puerto Rico needs a lot of help 1559 01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,160 Speaker 1: right now. As you may be aware from some of 1560 01:32:55,240 --> 01:33:00,640 Speaker 1: the news headlines. It's bankrupt and a huge percentage of 1561 01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:03,280 Speaker 1: the of the territory. It's not a state, of course, 1562 01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:07,439 Speaker 1: the territory is on Medicaid, so it's there's a lot 1563 01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:09,880 Speaker 1: of welfare going on in Puerto Rico right now and 1564 01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:12,040 Speaker 1: they don't have enough money to pay for stuff there 1565 01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,760 Speaker 1: and they got a lot of problems. There's also, unfortunately 1566 01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:18,240 Speaker 1: there have been reports of a lot of zica on 1567 01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,960 Speaker 1: the island as well. Uh So, Puerto Rico has got problems. 1568 01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:27,360 Speaker 1: It's got problems anyway, This Puerto Rican a parade, uh 1569 01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:33,440 Speaker 1: has issues because twenty five of fifty floats which are sponsored, 1570 01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:37,240 Speaker 1: you know, sponsored for the event, are there only twenty 1571 01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:41,040 Speaker 1: five rather out of fifty because half of them dropped 1572 01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:44,599 Speaker 1: out as a result of Oscar Lopez Rivera being honored here. 1573 01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:48,320 Speaker 1: Very interesting that Obama would decide to commute the sentence 1574 01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:51,280 Speaker 1: the sentence. Look, the guys served thirty five years, he's 1575 01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:55,679 Speaker 1: seventy four years old. But Uman, he's involved in terrorist activity, 1576 01:33:56,600 --> 01:34:00,160 Speaker 1: why would you commute his sentence? And it's just like 1577 01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:04,440 Speaker 1: what Hillary had Bill Clinton do before he left office. Democrats, 1578 01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:07,920 Speaker 1: when it comes to the Latino and Hispanic vote in 1579 01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:13,240 Speaker 1: this country, are are willing to to pander in whatever 1580 01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:17,280 Speaker 1: way they possibly can, including commuting the sentences of terrorists, 1581 01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:22,040 Speaker 1: convicted terrorists. So that's a shame because it's going to 1582 01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:25,639 Speaker 1: hang a dark cloud over although I think the weather 1583 01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:28,760 Speaker 1: will actually beautiful, but it's gonna be something that is 1584 01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:33,080 Speaker 1: affecting perceptions of this parade in New York City on 1585 01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:35,719 Speaker 1: a day when I think a lot of Puerto Ricans 1586 01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:40,720 Speaker 1: could really use a nice day too to celebrate and 1587 01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:45,160 Speaker 1: not have to worry about the political implications. Of honoring 1588 01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:49,360 Speaker 1: somebody or including somebody in this parade who is a 1589 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,280 Speaker 1: well commuted how his sentence commuted because he was involved 1590 01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:57,519 Speaker 1: with the terrorist group. So that's what's gonna be again. 1591 01:34:57,560 --> 01:34:58,960 Speaker 1: You got to you got it well, not too but 1592 01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:03,240 Speaker 1: the March for Equality and the Puerto Ricane Parade this weekend, 1593 01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:06,600 Speaker 1: So a lot of stuff happening in cities. If you 1594 01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:11,160 Speaker 1: want to avoid traffic jams and a lot of noise, 1595 01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:14,320 Speaker 1: my recommendation to you would be too uh and a 1596 01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:16,840 Speaker 1: lot of your like buck, I live far away from 1597 01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:19,120 Speaker 1: any parades. This is a problem for you, not a 1598 01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:21,880 Speaker 1: problem that I will have to deal with this weekend. 1599 01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:25,960 Speaker 1: And lucky you, I'm sure that is the case. Anyways, 1600 01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:29,360 Speaker 1: Puertognea parades is happening. I just I don't like parades 1601 01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:32,840 Speaker 1: um and I don't understand why people do a list 1602 01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:36,280 Speaker 1: of things that are there. It's just they're they're overrated. 1603 01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:38,799 Speaker 1: A list of things that I find are deeply overrated 1604 01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:42,720 Speaker 1: in an American society, and parades are high in the list. Picnics. 1605 01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:45,960 Speaker 1: I'll even say it, and people get mad at me 1606 01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:49,400 Speaker 1: for this. Most of the time, live music is overrated. 1607 01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:52,519 Speaker 1: I love some live music. It can be amazing, but 1608 01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 1: going to a huge concert most of the time doesn't 1609 01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:58,280 Speaker 1: then doesn't turn out the way people wanted to. I'm 1610 01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:00,280 Speaker 1: just saying, I know, get mad yells say that you 1611 01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:02,519 Speaker 1: had the best time ever, But I speak the truth. 1612 01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:16,479 Speaker 1: The freedom Hunt rocks online too.

But you know, 1637 01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:49,800 Speaker 1: I was at this event and I was thinking to myself, 1638 01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:52,560 Speaker 1: but how I wish there were some things that I 1639 01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:55,840 Speaker 1: had known.

What what? 1650 01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,120 Speaker 1: What about you? So, I don't know if any of 1651 01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:30,120 Speaker 1: you have ever experienced that. I'm I'm just I just 1652 01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,240 Speaker 1: hear things from people. You know, I've heard things from 1653 01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:36,280 Speaker 1: people who have heard things. But you know, wet wedding season. 1654 01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:39,320 Speaker 1: This is true in general, any event, any function where 1655 01:38:39,360 --> 01:38:41,320 Speaker 1: you have to be around a lot of people and 1656 01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:44,519 Speaker 1: you have to be you know, dressed up, business casual 1657 01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:47,160 Speaker 1: or not not business casual sorry, semi formal or more 1658 01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:50,000 Speaker 1: business casualist county. You get to wear like doctors and 1659 01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:52,360 Speaker 1: a and a collared shirt. And some of this won't 1660 01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:55,960 Speaker 1: make any sense. Um, So, first off, suits are just 1661 01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:58,880 Speaker 1: not comfortable. I know that I have to I have 1662 01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:00,120 Speaker 1: to wear a suit, and I go on t V 1663 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:06,880 Speaker 1: and I I understand that this is just in Western society. 1664 01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:09,519 Speaker 1: We we wear suits most of the time. With the 1665 01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:12,160 Speaker 1: suit we were a tiled though not always. Uh. There's 1666 01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:13,960 Speaker 1: just no such thing as a suit that's as comfortable 1667 01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:17,000 Speaker 1: as my sweatpants and and my boat shoes are more 1668 01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:19,559 Speaker 1: comfortable than any lace up shoes I've ever come across 1669 01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:22,040 Speaker 1: in my life. Uh. And honestly, sometimes I wish I 1670 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:24,320 Speaker 1: could wear flip flops instead. Of boat shoes. But oh, 1671 01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:26,519 Speaker 1: I have to be civilized, you know, especially when the 1672 01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:28,240 Speaker 1: ladies get all dressed up. You don't want to be 1673 01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:32,880 Speaker 1: that guy who, um looks like he uh just rolled 1674 01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:35,320 Speaker 1: off his couch after watching I don't know, maybe he 1675 01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:38,600 Speaker 1: was maybe he was binge watching The Last Kingdom I 1676 01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:42,400 Speaker 1: Mootred son of Utred for like the third time. But anyway, 1677 01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:44,360 Speaker 1: maybe he had to get dressed in a hurry last 1678 01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:46,479 Speaker 1: night so you can make it to the event. Um. 1679 01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,360 Speaker 1: But there's the suit is never really, never really that comfortable. 1680 01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:51,880 Speaker 1: Uh So that's one thing. You just have to get 1681 01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:53,400 Speaker 1: used to the fact that if you're wearing a suit 1682 01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:55,560 Speaker 1: after a while, you're gonna be like, I know some 1683 01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:57,120 Speaker 1: of you probably think they're comfortable. I don't know. I 1684 01:39:57,360 --> 01:39:59,080 Speaker 1: never think when I say they're not comfortable, I'm not 1685 01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:02,080 Speaker 1: saying you're uncomfortab well, it's just you know, and I 1686 01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:03,880 Speaker 1: know the women listening are like, why don't you try 1687 01:40:04,040 --> 01:40:07,000 Speaker 1: six inch heels? Buck, And you know, it might be 1688 01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:08,840 Speaker 1: an interesting experiment just to kind of get a sign 1689 01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:10,960 Speaker 1: of it. Ladies, I don't know how you do it. 1690 01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:15,360 Speaker 1: I'm all about comfortable feet. I get super grumpy when 1691 01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:18,200 Speaker 1: I can't have comfortable feet and you know, there there, 1692 01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:20,599 Speaker 1: there you have it. Another thing when whenever they make 1693 01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:24,519 Speaker 1: drinks at these things that come in the big that 1694 01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:26,800 Speaker 1: that come in a large container of some kind, you know, 1695 01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:30,759 Speaker 1: the punch bowl style serving teen I finally almost always 1696 01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:33,560 Speaker 1: put way too much sugar in it. And we we 1697 01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,599 Speaker 1: just as a society, need to stop putting too much 1698 01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:39,760 Speaker 1: sugar in our drinks. Sugar and drinks is just it's 1699 01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:41,800 Speaker 1: just wasted calories and it's bad. I know, I sound 1700 01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:43,960 Speaker 1: a little bit like the high school dean right now. 1701 01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:48,000 Speaker 1: It's telling kids to drink milk or water instead of 1702 01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:50,559 Speaker 1: Coca Cola. But I mean for for mixed drinks as well, 1703 01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:52,360 Speaker 1: any kind of drink, whether it's a punch that has 1704 01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:54,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of them, you know in it, or 1705 01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:57,200 Speaker 1: if it's just you know, you're drinking virgin Pina colada. 1706 01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:59,240 Speaker 1: Is there's there's too much sugar in all this stuff. 1707 01:40:59,280 --> 01:41:01,680 Speaker 1: That was another uh item that I had. I had 1708 01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:04,799 Speaker 1: a couple of friends who were there who are single 1709 01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:07,680 Speaker 1: gentlemen out on the town, and I was trying to 1710 01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:11,519 Speaker 1: uh impart some of my wisdom from many years of 1711 01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:16,040 Speaker 1: both successful and failed dating in New York City, which 1712 01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:17,720 Speaker 1: I like to think I'm a veteran of the New 1713 01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:21,400 Speaker 1: York City dating wars. For example, I try to convince 1714 01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:23,600 Speaker 1: them that when you're at a party, you just have 1715 01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:25,439 Speaker 1: to as a guy because they're they're there to get 1716 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:27,800 Speaker 1: and meet some nice ladies, maybe get a phone number, 1717 01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:29,400 Speaker 1: take someone out to dinner. Right. I mean I was 1718 01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:32,160 Speaker 1: there with my girlfriend and my brother was there with 1719 01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:34,120 Speaker 1: his girlfriend, and so we were just trying to have 1720 01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:37,280 Speaker 1: a nice time and support, you know, like literally save 1721 01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:41,040 Speaker 1: save the elephants, right, that was the idea. Um, And 1722 01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:43,920 Speaker 1: these the guys that who are single, I try to 1723 01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:46,200 Speaker 1: talk to them and explain to them what they should 1724 01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:50,720 Speaker 1: be what they should be doing in their approach. Um, 1725 01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:54,240 Speaker 1: they should just go. And this is my advice, and 1726 01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:56,719 Speaker 1: it's really my advice at any party or any gathering, 1727 01:41:57,120 --> 01:42:00,240 Speaker 1: just go and talk. Just just find look at somebody 1728 01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:03,320 Speaker 1: who seems like they'll be friendly and just start talking 1729 01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:05,360 Speaker 1: to them. If if you don't know anybody there, just 1730 01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:06,880 Speaker 1: be like, you know, hey, look at you know, look 1731 01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:08,479 Speaker 1: at this. It doesn't have to be you're trying to 1732 01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:10,880 Speaker 1: pick somebody up, but it's just you just want to 1733 01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:14,120 Speaker 1: get in the mode of I'm not I don't have 1734 01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:16,080 Speaker 1: walls up and I don't want to talk to people, 1735 01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:17,640 Speaker 1: especially if you're a guy he's trying to talk to 1736 01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:20,160 Speaker 1: some girls. I think you you have to break the 1737 01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:22,640 Speaker 1: ice with yourself, meaning you have to be willing to 1738 01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:26,160 Speaker 1: go out there and start speaking to people right away. 1739 01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:27,680 Speaker 1: I wish I had known this in my twenties. I 1740 01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:29,679 Speaker 1: didn't really learn it until my thirties. In my twenties 1741 01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:32,679 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, maybe maybe somebody can introduce 1742 01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,040 Speaker 1: me to that attractive women in the quarter. Maybe I 1743 01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:37,880 Speaker 1: have a friend who has a friend who has a friend. No, no, no, no, 1744 01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,240 Speaker 1: you just walk over and just start talking people. This 1745 01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:43,439 Speaker 1: is one thing that I have definitely learned in life. 1746 01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:47,439 Speaker 1: People like being talked to by people who are trying 1747 01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:49,719 Speaker 1: to be nice and having good time and have good energy. 1748 01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:53,559 Speaker 1: And if they don't, that's not on you. And better 1749 01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:57,320 Speaker 1: to know than not know. Um. Another thing for for 1750 01:42:57,520 --> 01:42:59,640 Speaker 1: my the the guys I was at with last night 1751 01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:03,280 Speaker 1: trying trying to help them acquire some new phone numbers, 1752 01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,439 Speaker 1: I was thinking, you know, you've got to understand guys, 1753 01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:08,040 Speaker 1: That's what I was saying to them. So I'm talking 1754 01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:09,599 Speaker 1: to them as though I'm some sort of a coach here. 1755 01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:11,320 Speaker 1: It's fun when you're not in the game and you 1756 01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:13,000 Speaker 1: just get to coach other guys who are trying to 1757 01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:16,880 Speaker 1: go out there and and uh and make some new friends. Uh, 1758 01:43:17,080 --> 01:43:21,200 Speaker 1: I said, I You've got to see rejection not as failure, 1759 01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:25,439 Speaker 1: but as the necessary precondition before success. You have to 1760 01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:27,479 Speaker 1: be willing to go out there and talk to somebody 1761 01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:29,800 Speaker 1: and get snubbed or have her say, you know, I'm 1762 01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:32,040 Speaker 1: here with my boyfriend. That doesn't make you a bad guy. 1763 01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:34,240 Speaker 1: Another note, by the way, at an event like this 1764 01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:37,559 Speaker 1: which everybody was in their twenties and thirties, who's there? Uh? 1765 01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:42,479 Speaker 1: Why is it that I just wish there were we 1766 01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:45,120 Speaker 1: all understand the society why women were an engagement ring 1767 01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:47,040 Speaker 1: and then a wedding ring and why men were you know, 1768 01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:50,759 Speaker 1: a wedding band. Uh. I wish that these kinds of events, 1769 01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:53,160 Speaker 1: they would do something so that the truly single ladies 1770 01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:56,840 Speaker 1: would signal somehow. And I know this is this would 1771 01:43:56,880 --> 01:44:00,439 Speaker 1: require some radical social reorganization because no one thinks these terms. 1772 01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:04,320 Speaker 1: But the single ladies should be known as the single 1773 01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:05,800 Speaker 1: ladies so that we don't have to deal with that 1774 01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:08,360 Speaker 1: awkwardness of well, you know, my date's getting me a 1775 01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:10,240 Speaker 1: drink and then maybe he comes over and now you've 1776 01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:12,360 Speaker 1: got some kind of a problem. By the way, this 1777 01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:14,240 Speaker 1: is true at weddings. It's true at parties. You'll go 1778 01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:17,439 Speaker 1: to this summer um for those of you who are single, 1779 01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:20,080 Speaker 1: any who are guys. Although the ladies you know you 1780 01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:22,120 Speaker 1: can go and talk to, you can go, you can 1781 01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:25,120 Speaker 1: make the first move with the with the guy you know, 1782 01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:27,719 Speaker 1: you don't have to as you know, you know, ladies 1783 01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:31,200 Speaker 1: twenty one century, do as you do, as you wish. Uh. 1784 01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,439 Speaker 1: But that's why I wish that there were some something 1785 01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:35,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, like that, Like we were all wearing 1786 01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:37,479 Speaker 1: wristbands last night. I was like, well, you know, the 1787 01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:40,080 Speaker 1: women who are single should have like two wristbands on 1788 01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:42,160 Speaker 1: and the guys too, so that everyone can know and 1789 01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, you can kind of avoid maybe some of 1790 01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:46,840 Speaker 1: that awkwardness. But maybe I'm being wimpy. Maybe you should 1791 01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:49,080 Speaker 1: just be forced to go out there and and talk 1792 01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:51,439 Speaker 1: and deal with the possibility of a falling flat on 1793 01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:54,439 Speaker 1: your face and failure some other things that I always 1794 01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:58,519 Speaker 1: note for the party season. This is bucks June into 1795 01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:01,519 Speaker 1: the summer party advice, I guess is what I'm after. 1796 01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:03,720 Speaker 1: Going out a couple of times this week, some of 1797 01:45:03,800 --> 01:45:05,880 Speaker 1: my old some of my old tricks on my old 1798 01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:10,519 Speaker 1: wisdoms has come back, I guess, or maybe it's not wisdom, 1799 01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:12,080 Speaker 1: but I just feel like talking about parties because I 1800 01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:15,040 Speaker 1: just can't talk about Trump anymore. I've I've had enough 1801 01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:18,960 Speaker 1: Trump for today. Right, I'm probably gonna close with some 1802 01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:23,599 Speaker 1: thoughts on Trump. And anyway, the food that you get 1803 01:45:23,720 --> 01:45:25,920 Speaker 1: that has passed around now, it's always rough for me 1804 01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:27,680 Speaker 1: because a Celiac I can rarely eat it because they 1805 01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:29,560 Speaker 1: love to put flour and all that stuff. But the 1806 01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:33,439 Speaker 1: food that comes out first, I find is usually better 1807 01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:35,640 Speaker 1: than whatever is at the sit down meal, especially at 1808 01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:39,639 Speaker 1: weddings the ORDRVS. I view that as dinner time because 1809 01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:43,280 Speaker 1: you the food tends to be. Look, I don't know, 1810 01:45:43,320 --> 01:45:45,240 Speaker 1: if you have a wedding for fifty people and you 1811 01:45:45,320 --> 01:45:47,320 Speaker 1: know your grandma makes the best barbecue in the world 1812 01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,840 Speaker 1: and she's cooking it at herself, Okay, that's different. But 1813 01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:52,599 Speaker 1: generally you're at a wedding hall, you know they're gonna 1814 01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:54,960 Speaker 1: you're you're kind of in like rubber chicken and rice 1815 01:45:55,040 --> 01:45:57,519 Speaker 1: peel off territory, you know, and it's just never gonna 1816 01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:00,519 Speaker 1: be that good. But the little things they us around, 1817 01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:03,680 Speaker 1: whether it's um, what is it the little tiny hot 1818 01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:05,880 Speaker 1: dog things that people I mean, do we call them 1819 01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:11,960 Speaker 1: cocktail cocktail wieners? I believe, Um, yeah, that's what they are. 1820 01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:15,519 Speaker 1: Uh those are those are tastier usually, so you gotta 1821 01:46:15,560 --> 01:46:17,960 Speaker 1: go after those. Another thing, if you're at if you're 1822 01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:22,839 Speaker 1: at a venue, uh party of some kind, wedding, summer, 1823 01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:26,519 Speaker 1: I don't know, summer, fling, summer galla, wherever you are 1824 01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,400 Speaker 1: across the country, and or you're throwing a party even 1825 01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:31,120 Speaker 1: or you're well now that this wouldn't count for throwing 1826 01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:33,080 Speaker 1: your own party. But if there are people that are 1827 01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:37,400 Speaker 1: serving you I and in the place lets crowded, I 1828 01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:39,519 Speaker 1: don't think there's any shame in ordering to drinks and 1829 01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:41,800 Speaker 1: just having them, you know, and if you know, two 1830 01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:43,600 Speaker 1: glasses of wine doesn't make you doesn't make you a 1831 01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:45,760 Speaker 1: bad guy, I think you can go for the two 1832 01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:49,800 Speaker 1: glasses of wine. So I also put that on the list. 1833 01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:52,400 Speaker 1: One of the things that makes me really sad about 1834 01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:54,439 Speaker 1: not being able to include anymore is many crab cakes. 1835 01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:56,200 Speaker 1: Many crab cakes, to me are one of the things 1836 01:46:56,680 --> 01:46:58,559 Speaker 1: that used to get me most excited in life at 1837 01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:01,000 Speaker 1: any party, because when you never sit at home and 1838 01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:03,000 Speaker 1: they're like, Oh, I'm gonna have many crab cakes for dinner, right, 1839 01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:04,519 Speaker 1: I mean the tiny ones that you could even like 1840 01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:08,360 Speaker 1: the toothpick. I've yet to come across any party anywhere 1841 01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:10,400 Speaker 1: in the country where they have gluten free many crab 1842 01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:12,479 Speaker 1: cakes and wedding crashers they even mentioned that they got 1843 01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:15,200 Speaker 1: the crab cakes. And I agree, that's a very exciting 1844 01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:17,920 Speaker 1: part of the whole party culture. Um. So I'm trying 1845 01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,599 Speaker 1: to think of the other bits of bits of wisdom 1846 01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:22,120 Speaker 1: that came back to me last night. I saw a 1847 01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:25,120 Speaker 1: friend who I hadn't seen. We were friends when we 1848 01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:27,519 Speaker 1: were six or seven years old. I hadn't seen him, 1849 01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:29,160 Speaker 1: and I don't know at least ten or fifteen years 1850 01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:31,400 Speaker 1: was bumped into each other. That's always fun. That's kind 1851 01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:32,960 Speaker 1: of amazing, isn't it When you knew someone when you 1852 01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:34,800 Speaker 1: were and we were close friends. I mean, we were 1853 01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:38,240 Speaker 1: very good buddies when we were six or seven years old, 1854 01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:41,360 Speaker 1: and and we we saw he I knew who it 1855 01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:43,439 Speaker 1: was right away, and he's married now, he's got a 1856 01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:46,439 Speaker 1: lovely wife, and we were catching up. Um, that's always 1857 01:47:46,439 --> 01:47:48,320 Speaker 1: an interesting time. I don't know if it's a time 1858 01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:50,559 Speaker 1: warp or time machine or just all of a sudden 1859 01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:52,320 Speaker 1: when you haven't seen someone that long and you had 1860 01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:55,920 Speaker 1: been really close friends growing up. That was kind of fun. Um, 1861 01:47:56,080 --> 01:47:58,800 Speaker 1: what else was there? If you're gonna dance, own it. 1862 01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:02,160 Speaker 1: Don't ever be the guy who's too cool to dance 1863 01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:04,479 Speaker 1: who's dancing. I learned this the hard way for so 1864 01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:06,760 Speaker 1: many years, man. I thought that you know, do the 1865 01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:09,600 Speaker 1: little kind of like you know, side to side, like 1866 01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:13,080 Speaker 1: what you know? Okay, if you're gonna dance like the 1867 01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:16,479 Speaker 1: guy in Hitch who is Will Smith, his hitch is 1868 01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:18,880 Speaker 1: the guy he's teaching is Kevin James. I forget what 1869 01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:21,040 Speaker 1: his name is in the movie. If you're gonna be 1870 01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:25,000 Speaker 1: that guy, Um, you can do whatever you want, that's 1871 01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:28,320 Speaker 1: all fine, but you've got to at least own it, right. 1872 01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:30,320 Speaker 1: You gotta get after it. You can't be the guy 1873 01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:32,240 Speaker 1: who's like, well, I'm not really dancing and it feels 1874 01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:33,920 Speaker 1: so awkward, and look I have no word of him 1875 01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:37,880 Speaker 1: in go for it. Same thing with speeches, everybody. I'm 1876 01:48:37,920 --> 01:48:40,680 Speaker 1: a guy who does three hours of extemporaneous radio a day. 1877 01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:43,640 Speaker 1: I do you know TV all the time? Something you 1878 01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:47,040 Speaker 1: see me do that too? Uh? If you're if you're 1879 01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:53,800 Speaker 1: demanding people's attention, give them the respect of feeling confident 1880 01:48:54,040 --> 01:48:57,439 Speaker 1: in holding the floor and sharing your words with them. 1881 01:48:58,120 --> 01:48:59,840 Speaker 1: If you're gonna say, hey, everybody, look at me, I'm 1882 01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:01,559 Speaker 1: going to speak and I'm going to listen to you, now, 1883 01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:04,760 Speaker 1: you should at least feel like you know, I'm I'm 1884 01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:07,759 Speaker 1: I'm doing my best here and I'm gonna give you whatever. 1885 01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:10,000 Speaker 1: If you're making a toast or a speech or whatever 1886 01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:14,400 Speaker 1: it may be, don't think that people want this is 1887 01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:16,200 Speaker 1: I think I've said this even on the show before. 1888 01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:18,200 Speaker 1: Don't stand up and say I hate public speaking and 1889 01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:20,320 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be good at this, but here goes. 1890 01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:24,200 Speaker 1: Just don't just don't do that because there's no need. 1891 01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:26,320 Speaker 1: And if you just stand up and you do it 1892 01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:28,320 Speaker 1: and it comes from the heart, whatever it is you say, 1893 01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, you just stand up there, Papa Bear, Mama Bear, 1894 01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:35,479 Speaker 1: and you say your words about you know, your your 1895 01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:37,800 Speaker 1: daughter or son or whoever's getting married or whatever the 1896 01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:39,680 Speaker 1: party is you're at. If you're toasting the host and 1897 01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:44,519 Speaker 1: the hostess, just just own it. Just own it um 1898 01:49:44,720 --> 01:49:46,760 Speaker 1: and and practice. By the way, it is important. I 1899 01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:48,639 Speaker 1: will say that. I mean this is something about radio 1900 01:49:48,680 --> 01:49:53,360 Speaker 1: always find fascinating. People that work in media just think, Oh, guys, 1901 01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:55,560 Speaker 1: don't tell And I'm telling you this, TV is so 1902 01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:58,080 Speaker 1: much easier than radio. It's so it's not even close. 1903 01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:02,280 Speaker 1: So people that sometimes TV people think they can carry 1904 01:50:02,320 --> 01:50:05,400 Speaker 1: a three hour radio show, and unless it's just full 1905 01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:08,720 Speaker 1: of a ton of guests and production and other things 1906 01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:10,679 Speaker 1: that are built in, or unless they're just talking about sports, 1907 01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:12,439 Speaker 1: because I feel like anybody can talk about sports for 1908 01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:14,960 Speaker 1: three hours. And people say that about politics too, but 1909 01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:16,960 Speaker 1: that's actually not true. But if you love sports enough, 1910 01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:18,840 Speaker 1: I think I know a lot of people. I know 1911 01:50:18,920 --> 01:50:20,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people that could carry a three hour 1912 01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:22,360 Speaker 1: sports show that don't work in radio. I don't know 1913 01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:24,799 Speaker 1: anybody who could carry a three hour show about politics 1914 01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:27,639 Speaker 1: and current events that it doesn't work in them. That's 1915 01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:30,840 Speaker 1: just I'm just saying. Um, but radio is a lot 1916 01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:33,240 Speaker 1: of Radio is harder than TV. I mean, it's more energy, 1917 01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:35,920 Speaker 1: it's more preparation. It's TV. First of all, no one 1918 01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:38,040 Speaker 1: has a three hour solo TV show right now, be 1919 01:50:38,120 --> 01:50:41,680 Speaker 1: crazy just staring into my face for three hours. Um, 1920 01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:45,960 Speaker 1: but practice is really helpful. Practice is great on those things. 1921 01:50:46,120 --> 01:50:49,000 Speaker 1: And um, I I do think I think that rhetoric 1922 01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:52,520 Speaker 1: or speech class as somebody who had a speech impediment 1923 01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:54,960 Speaker 1: growing up. As I think I've told you before, I 1924 01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:58,639 Speaker 1: think that rhetorics should be required college curriculum, high school curriculum. 1925 01:50:59,120 --> 01:51:03,840 Speaker 1: It should be verbal. Communication should not be considered something 1926 01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:09,080 Speaker 1: that only some people learn in an official or professional capacity. 1927 01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:12,920 Speaker 1: Everybody should on all these schools. Kids should stand up, 1928 01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:16,240 Speaker 1: they should be taped, they should speak publicly, and then 1929 01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:19,800 Speaker 1: they should watch it back. It's you. You learn a 1930 01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:21,599 Speaker 1: lot from it, and then you should want to practice 1931 01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:24,600 Speaker 1: and get better. It's so communication is so important to 1932 01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:26,760 Speaker 1: see all these jobs, all this automation that's happening, you 1933 01:51:26,840 --> 01:51:29,400 Speaker 1: know what, human to human communication and I don't care 1934 01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:32,120 Speaker 1: what anybody says about AI and all, this is never 1935 01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:34,639 Speaker 1: gonna be totally replaced. Just like my my old books 1936 01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:39,120 Speaker 1: with the uh, you know, weathered and beat up pages 1937 01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:42,080 Speaker 1: and everything else. There's no technology that can replace that 1938 01:51:42,240 --> 01:51:44,280 Speaker 1: for me. There there are other things, but there's nothing 1939 01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:46,160 Speaker 1: that will ever get rid of that entirely. And human 1940 01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:50,400 Speaker 1: to human uh communication is in that category as well. 1941 01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:52,360 Speaker 1: They're never gonna be able to get rid of that entirely. 1942 01:51:52,439 --> 01:51:55,719 Speaker 1: So load up on appetizers if you're going to speak 1943 01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:58,599 Speaker 1: on it if you're gonna dance on it. Suits are 1944 01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:03,519 Speaker 1: never that comfortable. There's no shame in uh, bringing a 1945 01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:05,719 Speaker 1: pair of socks that change into. By the way, something 1946 01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:07,679 Speaker 1: about when you especially if you've had a long event 1947 01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:09,800 Speaker 1: like a wedding or whatever. And if you've got the 1948 01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:11,439 Speaker 1: wife and the missus with you, she's got a bag. 1949 01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:12,920 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe the guy's got a bag. If you 1950 01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:15,160 Speaker 1: carry a man bag, that's cool, I'm not judging. But 1951 01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:17,679 Speaker 1: if someone has a bag, he's a pair of clean 1952 01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:21,040 Speaker 1: socks to change into, you know, after the or once 1953 01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:23,400 Speaker 1: the dance party gets gone. I'm telling you, it can 1954 01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:25,960 Speaker 1: make a lot of difference. I'm a big fan. Also, 1955 01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:29,479 Speaker 1: maybe bring a bring a granola bar with you, just 1956 01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:32,800 Speaker 1: a little emergency food. Never a bad idea, everybody, Never 1957 01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:36,360 Speaker 1: a bad idea for these parties. Uh, And stay away 1958 01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:39,439 Speaker 1: from the pre mix drinks because they're too sweet. Um. 1959 01:52:39,720 --> 01:52:42,479 Speaker 1: I think those are most of the where the most 1960 01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:45,120 Speaker 1: comfortable shoes you can get away with wearing that won't 1961 01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:48,960 Speaker 1: be viewed with disdain by your more fashionable friends. I 1962 01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:50,640 Speaker 1: know that's a long bit of advice, but it's a 1963 01:52:50,680 --> 01:52:53,560 Speaker 1: good one. Um. So anyway, I hope you guys have 1964 01:52:54,200 --> 01:52:57,360 Speaker 1: fun parties or events, whether it's a backyard barbecue or 1965 01:52:57,479 --> 01:53:00,439 Speaker 1: just you know, sitting out there on your own uh 1966 01:53:00,600 --> 01:53:03,680 Speaker 1: porch with your family, cooking some burgers.

Team oh, Team. 1975 01:53:39,040 --> 01:53:42,800 Speaker 1: One more fun tip. If you are drinking wine and 1976 01:53:42,960 --> 01:53:45,519 Speaker 1: you think the wine is not particularly good, uh, it's 1977 01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:47,760 Speaker 1: fine to throw an ice Cuba two in there. It 1978 01:53:47,920 --> 01:53:50,160 Speaker 1: just makes it a little. It just takes a little 1979 01:53:50,200 --> 01:53:52,240 Speaker 1: of the bite off if the wine is not particularly good. 1980 01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:54,880 Speaker 1: A little little trick I've learned from hanging out all 1981 01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:57,120 Speaker 1: different kinds of parties. I go to, I go where 1982 01:53:57,120 --> 01:53:59,800 Speaker 1: there's box wine, I go where there's any kind of wine. Team, 1983 01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:01,600 Speaker 1: thank you so much for hanging out with me on 1984 01:54:01,680 --> 01:54:05,040 Speaker 1: this freestyle Friday. Do share the podcast.
