But the Flynn, the Flynn 18 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: request for leniency today which was followed with the court. 19 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: Does a MAMO read through it today? And we'll also 20 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: be joined by Andy McCarthy later to work through some 21 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: of us. I mean, this is this is appalling It's 22 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: disgusting what these Hillary Clinton loving leftist deep state petty 23 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: tyrants have done here to a good man who didn't 24 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: service country for like a day here or there, thirty 25 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: years multiple combat zone deployments against all odds, is an 26 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: early friend to President Trump in the campaign, joins with 27 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: Trump and then becomes the National Security advisor, and they 28 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: just can't take it, they can't accept it, so they 29 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: decide to go after him. I remember General Flynn went 30 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: and he had his show, I mean his book, Field 31 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: of Fight. We had him on this show early on 32 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: the campaign, but people didn't think that the Trump administration 33 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: was ever going to be a thing. He was right 34 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: there alongside the president and that's where and he gave 35 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: the president national security credibility, which the left just hated. 36 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: And the establishment, you know, and the kind of centrist 37 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: quasi republican democrats, you know, people of the kind of 38 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: commist ilk if you will, those who have claimed to 39 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: be Republicans but really are no meaningful way conservative or 40 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: limited government constitutionalists. They're really just establishment terians. They hated Flynn, 41 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: and now we see what they did. Now we have 42 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: a better sense of just how it is that they 43 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: set him up. Make no mistake about it. This was 44 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: a setup, okay. This was they intended. They intended to 45 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: get the result they did, which was a criminal prosecution 46 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: of the incoming national security advisor. Right away. This is 47 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: from the court document from Flynn's legal team, and none 48 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: of these facts are in dispute. None of this is 49 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: me just guessing, spitballing. No, no, this is a matter 50 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: of record. Here is what they did to this American 51 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: patriot as payback for being a part of the movement 52 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: that stopped Hillary Clinton from inflicting herself that just corrupt 53 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: lying roneist from inflicting herself upon us for another eight years. 54 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: This is from the document file in court today. Quote 55 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: at twelve thirty five pm. On January twenty four, twenty seventeen, 56 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: the first Tuesday after the presidential inauguration, General Flynn received 57 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: a phone call from then the Director of the FBI, 58 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe, on a secure phone in his office in 59 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: the West Wing. General Flynn had for many years been 60 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: accustomed to working cooperation with the FBI on matters of 61 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: national security. He and mister McCabe briefly discussed a security 62 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: training session the FBI had recently conducted at the White 63 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: House before mister McCabe, by his own account, stated that 64 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: he quote felt that we needed to have two of 65 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: our agents sit down with General Flynn to talk about 66 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: his communications with Russian representatives. This was a conversation among 67 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: government peers. This was supposed to be people on the 68 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: same team talking, and now we don't have a transcript 69 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: of what McCabe. Oh, by the way, a multiple liar 70 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: under oath and therefore should be multiple felon who wants 71 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: to guess whether they'll be criminal charmed is filed against 72 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: McCabe by the DOJ. I'm guessing no. But he lied. 73 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: He liked three times. According to Inspector General. He lied 74 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: under penalty of perjury. Why isn't McCabe, Oh, that's right, 75 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: McCabe won't get prosecuted because this is all about getting Trump. 76 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: This is a disgrace. It's disgusting what these people are 77 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: doing to this administration and by extension, to all of 78 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: the people who voted for this administration, who believe in 79 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: it and hope for the best for our country. As 80 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: a result of Donald Trump's win over Shillary Clinton, General 81 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: Flynn was made to believe that he was just having 82 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: a normal casual talk as the National Security Advisor with 83 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: subordinate federal employees. I'm sure McCabe said something to belong. Yeah, 84 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, there's this thing about you and the ambassador. 85 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: Let's you know, let's just let's just sit and just 86 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: you know, our guys just wanted we just need to 87 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: go on the record with that. Just tell us some 88 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: of the stuff and you know, no big deal, no 89 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: big whoop. Okay, mister mccab's this goes back now of 90 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: the court documents. Mister McCabe's account states quote, I explained 91 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: that I thought the quickest way to get this done 92 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: was to have a conversation between General Flynn and the 93 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: agents only. I further stated that if Lieutenant General Flynn 94 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the 95 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: White House Counsel, for instance, that I would need to 96 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: involve the Department of Justice. General Flynn stated that this 97 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: would not be necessary and agreed to meet with agents 98 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: without any additional participants. So KG McCabe here says, look, 99 00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, we're just we're just gonna send over a 100 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: guys are gonna talk to you about this. Oh yeah, 101 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: that training we did last week wasn't that great? You're 102 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: so great, Gennial Flynn. You know, is we gotta have 103 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,119 Speaker 1: you know, our kids should go, should you know, get together. 104 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: We should play little baseball in the weekend. Sometimes soon 105 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: we're just gonna send over a couple of FBI guys. 106 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: They just kind of talk to you about this thing. 107 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: Nobody dealing. Oh no, no no, you don't want to have 108 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: lawyers there, man, that's gonna make it because then I 109 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: gotta send the lawyers. And you know, we're just gonna 110 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: have a talk. It's fine, don't worry about it. It'll 111 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: be over in five minutes. Now you can say, well, 112 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,559 Speaker 1: Buck Flynn just shouldn't have Flint shouldn't lie. He should 113 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: know he should. First of all, Flynn's not a law 114 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: enforcement guy. Very different s guilty. He's a military man. 115 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: He's about facing down our enemies on the battlefield and 116 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: you know, our side versus their side. He's not used to, 117 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: you know what goes on here with these FBI types. 118 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: He's not somebody who's dealing with the tools of law 119 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: enforcement that often involve dissembling, lying, presenting yourself under false pretenses. 120 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: And this is all set up. Remember he's not accused 121 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: of treason. He's not accused of some serious crime. The 122 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: pretext for this need to talk to him in the 123 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: first place is that little Resistance Payne sally Yates with 124 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: their whole all the logan acting maybe the Russians can 125 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: can blackmail him because he lied about the conversation with 126 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: the ambassador, which they can't blackmail him over that. He'd say, Yeah, 127 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: I misremembered that. Their whole premise here is bull. It's bull. 128 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: They're gonna blackmail. I'm up. You'd better tell you better 129 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,599 Speaker 1: give us all the secret nuclear colds or else we 130 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: are growing to tell people that you you lied about 131 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: your conversation about non criminal activity with the Kisel. Yet, 132 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: he'd be like, all right, I just would say that 133 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: I you know, I misremembered that it was a conversation 134 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: on the phone. I didn't remember. It's no big deal. 135 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: I didn't send uh, you know, I didn't think it 136 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: was it was going to be any issue. That's that's 137 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: not blackmailable, that's not blockmailable. It's just not. But so 138 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: why and the DJ would know that, So why would 139 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: they say it was They're worried up blockmail. They need 140 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: in an excuse this was all about the excuse to 141 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: put Flynn in a situation where they could get him. 142 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: They don't do You don't do this too. He wasn't, 143 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: by the way, Oh let me let me get into 144 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: the details here. But you know this isn't done within 145 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: the federal government to each other. Whenever, I mean, I 146 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: remember I had to sit through a couple of hearings 147 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: for a few different things, and MYPD side, CIA side, 148 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: and whenever there was this, we got the security folks, 149 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: internal watchdog folks talking to your Look, you were told, 150 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: you were told. You know, they're not. They don't send 151 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: some guy undercover into your office to talk to you 152 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: with the water cooler and try to find out, you know, 153 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: are you are you committing like time and attendance fraud 154 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: or something that that's not how they do this. All right, 155 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: more into the so so, McCabe obviously tried to get 156 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: the situation to be exactly what it was, which was 157 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: that he sent struck McCabe a liar and a Hillary partisan, 158 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: Struck an anti Trump lunatic. These are the two people 159 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: that are involved in this so far, and some other 160 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: FBI agent that's not yet really named or known. But 161 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: he said Struck, the anti Trump freak, to go and 162 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: talk to Flynn, made sure that there was no counsel 163 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: in the room with him whatsoever. You know how many 164 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: you know how many lawyers when Struck, Oh, that's right. 165 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: Another time when he's at the nexus here, what does 166 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: the FBI only have four people? Because when you look 167 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: at Hillary and you look at Trump and the key 168 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: points here in these investigations, there's only a few people 169 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: that seem to matter, and they're anti Trump pro Hillary maniacs. 170 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: What a shock. When Struck interviewed Hillary about her emails, 171 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: she had nine lawyers at my account in the room. Okay, 172 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: she had an army of lawyers with her. She was 173 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: allowed to have Cheryl Mills, who was her white i 174 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: mean her State department chief of staff, in the room 175 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: with her, coordinating with her as her lawyer. Meanwhile, she's 176 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: actually a part of the she should be a part, 177 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: she should be a target of the investigation. They're treating 178 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: her like she's Hillary's lawyer. They bent over backwards to 179 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: make sure that Hillary would have no problems, and they 180 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: went in the complete opposite direction with Flynn and with 181 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: everybody associated with the Trump That much is Claire but 182 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: hearing more about the details here that came out. This 183 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: all just came out today in the Flynn in the 184 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: Flynn sentencing less than two hours later, this is after 185 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: the meeting FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Struck and a 186 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: second I'm sorry, this is right before the meeting, and 187 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: a second FBI agent arrived at the White House to 188 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: interview General Flynn. By the agent's account, General Flynn was 189 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: relaxed and jocular and offered to give the agents a 190 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: little tour of the area around his West Wing office. 191 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: The agents did not provide General Flynn with a warning 192 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: of the penalties for making a false statement under eighteen 193 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: USC one zero zero one, before, during, or after the interview. 194 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: Prior to the FBI's interview of General Flynn, mister McCabe 195 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: and other FBI officials decided the agents would not warn 196 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: Flynn that it was a cry to lie during an 197 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: FBI interview because they wanted Flynn to be relaxed and 198 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: they were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect 199 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: the rapport. One of the agents reported, yeah, they were 200 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: setting him up before the interview. FBI officials also had 201 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: to decide that if Flynn said he did not remember 202 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: something they knew he said. They would use the exact 203 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: words Flynn used to try to refresh his recollection. If 204 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: Flynn still would not confirm what he said, they would 205 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: confront him or talk him through it. One of the 206 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: agent's reported that General Flynn was unguarded during the interview 207 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: and clearly saw the FBI agents as allies. They had 208 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: the transcript. They had the transcript of what comes from 209 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: counterintelligence collection that was leaked to the press, probably by 210 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: one of these names we already know in this whole debacle, 211 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: one of these anti Trump deep state DOJ lunatics, and 212 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: then they use information from a counterintelligence investigation to try 213 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: and trap the incoming national security advisor, speaking to him 214 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: under at least softened, if not false pretenses. Why would 215 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: Why would if McCabe had any interest at all, any 216 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: interest at all in trying to protect a decorated war 217 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: hero and veterans career and reputation and life. Because Flynn's 218 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: life is being ruined by this. McCabe is a decade 219 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: long FBI guy. He would know. Of course, you have 220 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: a lawyer in the room. Of course you have a 221 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: lawyer in the room. McCabe set him up. McCabe set 222 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: him up because him and his wife wanted Hillary to win, 223 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: and Struck and these other little petty tyrants from within 224 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: the federal bureaucracy. They think that they're setting it all 225 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: right by stopping Trump, by taking down his people, but 226 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: in the process, you know, they've shown themselves to be dishonorable. 227 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: These people have no honor. A person with honor would 228 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: not be able to do and as senior FBI officer, 229 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: would not be able to set up General Flynn the 230 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: way they did. These individuals Struck McCabe and others involved 231 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: in this, Yates, comey, the whole crew. They are a 232 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: disgrace to this country, and along with Brennan, they have 233 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: disgraced law enforcement, the intelligence community. I don't even feel 234 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: as proud of my intelligence community service as I used to, 235 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: because now everybody realized that these places are run by maniacs, 236 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: by left wing collectivist tyrants. We'll have more on Flynn 237 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: with Andy McCarthy. You know, I'll put all my theories, 238 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: all my thoughts on this to the test with Andy, 239 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: will ask what he thinks about this. He's always very 240 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: fair minded, he was, He said, Okay, let's see what 241 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: the Special Council does in the beginning. Never forget that 242 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: Andy used to come on this show and he was 243 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: willing to give them a fair shot. And now he's 244 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: about as a pall as I am. And he worked 245 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: in the Southern District of New York for almost thirty years, 246 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: and he used to tell me he was a hard prosecutor. 247 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: You did not want to get Andy if you were guilty. 248 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: He's told me that many times. We'll talk about the 249 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: con sentencing today, tell you how much time he got 250 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: in case you don't know, and what we can make 251 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: of that. And then we got the border and the 252 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: shutdown and show his jam. So stay right there, team, 253 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: I'll be back. And I will also note, with great irony, 254 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen well report to federal prison exactly one year 255 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: after we filed the case on behalf of Stormy Daniels. 256 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen was sentenced today. Donald Trump is next. That's 257 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: right left wing hero Avanati having a let's taking a 258 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: little victory lap there while while Cohen's wife and children 259 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: are shattered and crying, you know, because remember Cohen didn't 260 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: murder anyone, he didn't kidnap anyone. He didn't you know, 261 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: he didn't bludgeon anyone, didn't steal from anyone, lying, paperwork fraud, 262 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: tax fraud, that's basic. That's basically what he's guilty of. 263 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's okay, but I don't think you 264 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: have to, you know, hide, hide the women and children, folks. 265 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: You know, Michael Cohen's out and about, Oh no, what 266 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: are we gonna do? Avanati? By the way, wasn't he 267 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: accused of felony domestic violence recently? Yeah? That guy also 268 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: the one who came forward with the incredibly fraudulent claims 269 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: of the third accuser, Julie Sweatneck, who was just a huge, 270 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: crazy liar going after Brett Kavanaugh. That's right, she was 271 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: a liar, isn't it? Isn't it good to just be 272 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: able to say what's true? Doesn't it feel nice to 273 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: hear what's true? Oh? Are you calling her? Yes? She 274 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: was a liar? Yes, Christine blasi Ford either delusional or 275 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: a liar. Michael Cohen saying that or Michael Cohen rather 276 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: got got three years three years, which is, you know, 277 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: thirty six months at the pretty low end of things here. 278 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: People are saying that maybe he'll maybe he'll even have 279 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: more information for the Special Counsel. They're all hope, hope, 280 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: hoping there's more information for the Special Counsel. I just 281 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: know that Muller's trying to drag this thing out as 282 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: long as possible. He at least has to wait until 283 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: the new Congress comes. And this is my thinking because 284 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: because then people will forget about. When you get Pelosi 285 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: and all the crazy Dems going after Trump and everybody 286 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: around him with subpoenas, then Muller can That's when Muller 287 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: can wind it down. Not gonna wind it down before then, 288 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: not gonna wind it down before the end of January, 289 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 1: and probably not even for a month or two into it, 290 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: because he's gonna wait until the Democrats, you know, then 291 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: they're the check on Trump. That's the way this is 292 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: going to be talked about. He doesn't have the goods, 293 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: he doesn't have collusion. We all know it. This whole 294 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: thing is I'd just call it a farce, but it's 295 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: nothing funny about it. It's really just dangerous, destructive. Why 296 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: did Trump have a lawyer like Cohen near him? You know, 297 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: he liked the guy, and look, Colin was clearly a 298 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: liability but I can understand personal personal loyalties a liability 299 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: in my own life. Sometimes it's it's a thing that 300 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: you gotta deal with. So what really happened with General Flynt? 301 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: Why is he now in a position after decades of 302 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: serving his country, after being in multiple combat zones, after 303 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: running the Defense Intelligent saying she incoming natural security advisor, 304 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: and now he's begging, essentially a judge not to send 305 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 1: him to prison. What really went down here? We've got 306 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: somebody who can look between the lines and through the 307 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: lines and tell you exactly what's happening here. Andy McCarthy 308 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: is with us now Scores, a Fox News contributor, also 309 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: of National Review, where he's doing a lot of great writing. Andy. 310 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: Thanks for coming back. Andy, you know there's so much. 311 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: Let me just give the floor to you first, because 312 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: I have some specifics about the Flynn sentencing request memo 313 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: that's out there. I read through. I read through it 314 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: today up to the point where it was all the 315 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: letters of people that are saying he's a great guy. 316 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: Because okay, he's a great guy. But there were some 317 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: interesting takeaways. What was your biggest takeaway? Well, obviously, one 318 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: of the things that I've been complaining about since the 319 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: beginning of the Flynn investigation is what was the basis 320 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: for investigating him? And I think what we saw was 321 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: that there was not only you know, no real basis 322 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: for an investigation. In fact, when the Senate or I'm sorry, 323 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: the House Intelligence Committee looked at this, they asked a 324 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: bunch of different witnesses, I think three or four different witnesses, 325 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: what was to predicate for the Flynn investigation. They got 326 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: three or four different answers. Nobody can nobody can seem 327 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 1: to give a good reason for it, and that I 328 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: think shows in the way they treated him. But at 329 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 1: the beginning, by basically deciding that they were going to 330 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: orchestrate an interview that would have been in pursuit of 331 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: a criminal investigation without a crime, but try to make 332 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: him think it wasn't a criminal interview. It was just 333 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: going to be him talking to a couple of veteran agents, 334 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: no problem, just the basic information thing to clear up 335 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: a few things about Russia. And he was obviously discouraged 336 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: even from involving White House lawyers, let alone his own lawyers. 337 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: And it's a real departure from the FBI's normal procedures. 338 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: Where when they're going to conduct the criminal investigation, everybody 339 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: acts on the up and up, and they tell the 340 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 1: person they're in interviewing, here's the reason why we're talking 341 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: to you today, that it's a criminal investigation. They make 342 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: it clear to him that, you know, among other things, 343 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: he's got a right to talk to council and to 344 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: have somebody else's presence at the interview. That's pretty standards fair. 345 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: But here they essentially, as I see it, discourage him 346 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: from having any help at the interview. And is it 347 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: fair in your estimation to say, and this is a 348 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: conclusion that I've drawn in this, but now I feel 349 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,239 Speaker 1: more strongly about it. But I want to know if 350 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of where this is that if Sally 351 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: Yates helped push this along at DJ under the Logan 352 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: Act theory, that that's just acting in bad faith. Yeah, 353 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think fuck that. As I've 354 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: said all along, the Logan Act is not only utimate 355 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: reason to open a criminal investigation against anyone because they 356 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: don't prosecute it. It's been on the books for more 357 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: than two centuries. It's never been successfully used in a 358 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: criminal prosecution. But if you're going to dust it off 359 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: and try to use it despite all the constitutional objections 360 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: to it. The place not to use it, and let's 361 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: make sure our listeners know the Logan Act purports to 362 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: make it basically illegal for American citizens to involve themselves 363 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: in foreign relations without the government's permission. The one place 364 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: that you wouldn't want to invoke it if you were 365 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: going to, in a novel way invoke it, would be 366 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: a situation where you have a transition official for an 367 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: incoming administration who's not only the high transition official, but 368 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: is actually the designated incoming National security advisor whose sub 369 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: is to deal with foreign governments, among other things. And 370 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: now you're going to say it's illegal for him to 371 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: be having contacts with foreign portance. That's insane. It is 372 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 1: insane and that and we're at the insanity level here, 373 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 1: which is I think so important for everybody to know. 374 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: And with more facts, I would note this whole effort 375 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: to get Flynn looks even worse. There's been nothing ever 376 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: since they brought this charge that makes me think, oh wow, 377 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: maybe maybe Flynn, you know, really did do something here 378 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: that was egregious instead of misrememory. You know, Andy, A 379 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: question I have for you. You know, so when I 380 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: was in the CIA, if I lied to somebody else 381 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: in the CIA, as far as I knew, I probably 382 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: wasn't going to be guilty of of of a crime. Right, 383 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: So if I lied to one of my colleagues when 384 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: about some issue of work, Um, you know, if I 385 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: said I told the President this, and I actually didn't 386 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: tell the President this, and they're not gonna they're not 387 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: gonna jam me up for that. How do they draw 388 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: this line? You know, when when are you in jeopardy 389 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: speaking to a federal And I wasn't law enforcement obviously 390 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: in that capacity, But when when do you actually have 391 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: that jeopardy in place? Because what it sounds like to 392 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: me is that they made it seem like Flynn was 393 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: talking as an FBI guys to just set something straight, 394 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: and so he thought he was talking to colleagues. Yeah, 395 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: that's exactly right, And in fact, it's in some ways 396 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: worse than that, Buck, because this is if I'm remembering right, 397 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: this is like the third or fourth day on the 398 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: job for Flynn. Yep, the first Tuesday after the transition, right, 399 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: So he's having the you know, he's having multiple meetings 400 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: as the new national security advisor. So who does he 401 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: talks the deputy FBI director who wants to send over 402 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: the bureau's top counter FB and I Jagen. You know, 403 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: he had every reason to think that this is a normal, 404 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, at that kind of level of government meeting, 405 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: which was probably one of twenty he had that day 406 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,239 Speaker 1: on those kinds of topic. So again, I think, you know, 407 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: the big deal here is if you want to have 408 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: a criminal investigation on Flynn, then have a criminal investigation 409 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: on Flynn, but at least go in the front door, 410 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: have everybody's eyes open, tell them what it's about, and 411 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: you know, treat them like he's a normal investigative subject. Instead, 412 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: they traded on the relationship that you would think high 413 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: ranking national security officials would have with each other, except 414 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: Flynn's thinking he's talking to colleagues and they're thinking they're 415 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: conducting a criminal investigation and doing an interview that could 416 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: put him in jeopardy. And Buck, if I could say 417 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: one other thing about what's gone on with Flynn, which 418 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: I think maybe the most outrageous of all. Flynn is 419 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: a first offender who's looking at a fairly trivial process 420 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: crime for which for anybody the sentencing guidelines would be 421 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: zero to six months. But on the positive side of 422 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: the ledger for him, he's a heroic combat veteran of 423 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: the United States who spent thirty years rendering courageous service 424 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: to this country. And as a result, there's not a 425 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: federal judge in America who was ever going to put 426 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: Mike Flynn in jail if Mula had done nothing. Flynn 427 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: gets a no jail sentence. And the reason I point 428 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: that out is, what do you see happen here? Mullah 429 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: files emotion unto the serencing guidelines, asking the judge not 430 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: to impose jail time, that is to say, asking the 431 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: judge to do what the judge is going to do anyway. 432 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: So when it happens inevitably, what is the story going 433 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: to be. It's not. The story is going to be 434 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: that Flynn got a no jail sentence because of the 435 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: valuable cooperation that he gave to Mula's investigation. Oh, there 436 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: must be some collusion here. And they look at Mueller's 437 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: filing and they see it's half rejected, and they say, oh, 438 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: this must be the expulsive stuff that he gave him 439 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: in order to get the get the you know, the 440 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: sentencing consideration. In the meantime, the guy wasn't going to 441 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: get any jail time in the first place. Yeah, it's 442 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: it's it's absurd. I mean, you know, Andy, there there's 443 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: so much here. I mean, for one, you know, just 444 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: just to mind my question about you know, when you're 445 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: in the federal government and I had federal peers, you 446 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: had federal peers. I mean, if you were sitting in 447 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: a meeting with a bunch of FBI guys when you 448 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: were you know, an assistant US attorney, and let's just 449 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: say that you did have some kind of a memory 450 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: lapse and you said something that was factually untrue, and 451 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: they're asking you, you know, did you speak to witness A? 452 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: And you said, no, I don't think I ever spoke 453 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: to witness A. Uh. And then if they came in 454 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: a day later and said, you know, Andy, we've got 455 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: a phone call record or you did speak to that witness, 456 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: I mean, are you going to prison? I just I 457 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: want to know, you know, when you're among peers in 458 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: the federal government, what you know, if you're and you're 459 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: not told it's a criminal investigation, you're not told the 460 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: lawyer up, where's the line. Well, yeah, this is another 461 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: thing that's a big problem with this. Why did they 462 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: have to Flynn? Why did they have to interview him 463 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: about conversations that they had recordings of I can't see 464 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: since you have a recording of the conversation, they know 465 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: very well whether, for example, Flynn talked to Kisliak who 466 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: was the Russian ambassador about sanctions or he didn't, because 467 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: they have they have the recording, right, So what's the 468 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: point of asking Flynn whether he talked to Kisliak abat 469 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: sanctions if they know he talked to Kisliak abat sanctions, 470 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: unless it's to try to get them to say something 471 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: that's different from what they have on the recording. And ordinarily, 472 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: if you were in good faith talking to somebody in 473 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: a situation where you weren't trying to get them jammed 474 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,719 Speaker 1: up on a false statement, what you would do is 475 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: it was really important to the FBI to understand the 476 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: context and maybe any in unclear or ambiguous parts of 477 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: the conversation between kisley At and Flynn. Why not play 478 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: the conversation for Flynn and ask them what did this mean? 479 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: What did that mean? Instead, what they did was they 480 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: asked him did you say this? Did you say that 481 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: in connection with a conversation that they had a recording 482 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: of and they knew damn well whether he had said this? 483 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: Said that, Andy, can we run into a quick break 484 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: and comebacks? I also want to ask a couple more 485 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: about this and go into a little bit of Cohen. 486 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: Do you have time? Yeah? Of course, Okay, we got 487 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: more with Andy McCarthy on the flip side. Stay with us. 488 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,719 Speaker 1: Are welcome back team. We've got Andy McCarthy of Fox 489 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: News and National Review joining us here. As you probably 490 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:41,959 Speaker 1: know if you listen to the show, Andy was an 491 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: assistant US attorney in the Southern District of New York 492 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: for decades. So, Andy, before we get the Cohen issue, 493 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: which of course brings the Southern District, You're old stomping 494 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: ground right into the mix here, I really need to know, 495 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: are we ever going to find out about this time 496 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: lag between the Flynn meeting and the decision of file charges? 497 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: Are we ever going to find out what they said 498 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: to him and what he supposedly lied about? And can 499 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: the President just say, you know, whatever the FBI has 500 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: on this, it's public now because he's being sentenced. Why not, Well, 501 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: the answer to the last question is the president should 502 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: unfeld any of the stuff, and it would be a 503 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: good thing as he did, But yes, absolutely they can 504 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: put all of the shouts. My personal views it looking 505 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: at the sentencing memo, but is that this is all 506 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: about Turken And what I mean by that is the 507 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: sequence of events is in January, right of everybody goes 508 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: into office. So right after the inauguration, they interview Flynn 509 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: and they make a decision that they're not going to 510 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: prosecute him because even if there are failures of recollection, 511 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: they seem to be innocent ones and he's not trying 512 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: to lie to them. In May, Mueller is appointed, and 513 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: they later decide suddenly to second guess the guys who 514 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: were in the room and charging with false statements. The 515 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: intervening event between those two things is this whole business 516 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: about He was questioned about Turkey, as as it's played 517 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: out in the sentencing memo, and one of the things 518 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: they discussed there is they were pressing him on the 519 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: Flynn corporations or the Flynn businesses dealings with Turkey and 520 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:37,719 Speaker 1: whether they were acting as a foreign agent without without registering. 521 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: And I think the reason that that's relevant. Is that's 522 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,239 Speaker 1: the only part of the sentencing memo where they talk 523 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: about the Flynn business or the Flynn company. That's the 524 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: company he had with his son. And I think the 525 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: natro subtle message here or there is that if they 526 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: were going to pursue criminal charges on the Turkey matter 527 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: because of this failure to I just or as a 528 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: foreign agent, which didn't used to be up until the 529 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: Moller investigation, something that the Justice Department got two whipped 530 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: up about, it was going to be jeopardy not only 531 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: for General Flynn but for his son and I right, 532 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: which also makes sense as to why. I mean, when 533 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: you see that sentencing MAMO, it's oh, Flint takes Flint 534 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: takes full responsibility, he understands, he takes full responsibility, and 535 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: you know they've got a metaphorical gun to his head 536 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: on this stuff. Yeah. I think that's what the Turkey 537 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: stuff really is. Yeah, So so on the now, I mean, 538 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: I could get into this at some point, but but 539 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: will we ever find out what was said in that meeting? 540 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: Are they going to try to keep that from us 541 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: in the Flynn meeting? Do you mean, are we ever 542 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: going to see the FBI three OZ two the yes 543 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: or whatever report or the interview they did. Unless the 544 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: President unseals it, I don't see how we would see it, Okay, 545 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: And now Andy on Nacoan only a couple of minutes Buck, 546 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: I say, the only caveat to that is if it's 547 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: relevant to the Inspective General's investigation, but I don't know 548 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: about that. Now. We've been talking about the the Cohen 549 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: situation here on the on the show at some length. 550 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: Obviously he got three years today, which is people say 551 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: kind of at the lower end, but I mean it's 552 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: it's it sounds like there's a very aggressive prosecutorial tactics 553 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: being used by the Southern District, by the Special Council. 554 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: So it's hard to think of there being much much 555 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: mercy involved here under the circumstances that all said. Uh, 556 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, you've got a lot of people running around 557 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: Judge Knapps whom I like, Judge Napolitano over from from Fox, 558 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: you know, saying that he thinks there could be evidence 559 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: or the Southern District may have evidence of felony crimes 560 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: committed by the President. What's what's your take on that? 561 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: I think that, um, what happened with h. Cohen today 562 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: was pretty much standard fair in criminal cases. I mean, 563 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: this was a case where the prosecutors were essentially recommending 564 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: forty two months, and the judge gave the judge gave 565 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: thirty six months. It's pretty common for sentencing judge to 566 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: give a slightly lower sentence than the prosecutor is asking for. 567 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: So this really is within the norm of that. If 568 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: there were lots and lots of information damaging against the president, 569 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: what you would expect, especially if Cohen was involved in it, 570 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: was they would have made him plead guilty to those 571 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: instances and then he would say, here's what I did, 572 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: Here's what the president did, and then they would have him, 573 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, in store as a witness to testify about 574 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: those transactions. Instead, what they seem to have done is 575 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: strained to make the case based on the campaign finance laws, 576 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: which ordinarily aren't even treated as a crime, and which 577 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: here there's a pretty serious legal challenge to whether this 578 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: is actually an inkind campaign contribution at all. I have 579 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: to think Buck, if they had something better than that, 580 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: they would have gone with something don a champaign finance violation. 581 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: Real quick, Anny, we only got a few seconds here 582 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: before I to close out. Are you concerned for the 583 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: president in terms of legal jeopardy. I'm done on this 584 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: stuff at the moment. I mean, I think you should. 585 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: He started to take it seriously. They're clearly trying to 586 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: make a case on him in in the Southern District. 587 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: But I think the bigger problem for him has come January. 588 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: The Democrats in the House as sometina power that's gonna 589 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: be very difficult to govern and there's going to be 590 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: a lot of unknown out there that they're going to 591 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: be poking around in. Yeah, agreed, Annie McCarthy. Everybody check 592 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: out his ladies, read nashreview dot com, and also look 593 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: for him on Fox News.

This is the most 617 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 1: significant campaign contribution ever in the history of the United States. 618 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,240 Speaker 1: These two contributions very well may have swung the election. 619 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: Point to another pair of campaign contributions that were so 620 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: directly tied to the outcome. Basically fraudulently obtained the office 621 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: by committing felonies. Someone who corruptly gains the office of 622 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: president cannot be allowed to retain that office. Might this 623 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: be the greatest crime in American history? Might that be 624 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 1: the greatest crime in American history? That Steve Schmidt the 625 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: Martyes guile, I'm not don beat. I mean that might 626 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,760 Speaker 1: be might just be the dumbest thing I've ever heard 627 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: on television period? Yes, yes, I think so, the greatest 628 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 1: crime in American history. I mean a country that has had, 629 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: you know, slavery, Jim Crow, seggregation, a civil war. You know, 630 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: go down the list of all the of all the 631 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: terrible things, I've gone, the greatest crime in American history? 632 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: And we have mass murderers, we have It's like this, 633 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: this is the greatest crimeate ever. How could someone say 634 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: something so stupid on cable television and be applauded for it? 635 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: The answer, as we live in a time of Democrat 636 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: mass delusion. This is why, this is why I play 637 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: their words for you. This is so you can hear them. 638 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm not the one who's sitting here talking crazy. They're 639 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 1: talking crazy. Trump's campaign contribution the most significant ever. They 640 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: are saying, well, let's let's dig into that for a moment, 641 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: shall we. Mark Penn has been pointing out, among others, 642 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: that Congress has been paying off sex accusers with a 643 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: special funded set up since nineteen ninety eight. Here, let's 644 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 1: work through some of the details of this play twenty 645 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: one In this return back to nineteen ninety eight. Again, 646 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: a little thing happened here that they're two hundred and 647 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: sixty eighth settlements in Congress, many of them presumably done 648 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: during the election period. That if this was a true precedent, 649 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: we'd have to lock up scores of congressmen. Lock them up. Now. 650 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: That actually was taxpayer money that they use for those settlements. 651 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: But those settlements, if you follow the logic of this, 652 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: would be campaign contributions, which was why the logic of 653 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 1: this is broken. Yep, the logic is broken. And when 654 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: you so, just to be clear about the details here, 655 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: Congress set up a fund. It's taxpayer money Congress set 656 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: aside to pay off people who accuse members of Congress 657 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 1: of sexual harassment in secret, so it's not public. Now, 658 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: if paying off somebody who accuses you of sexual harassment 659 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:49,240 Speaker 1: is a campaign contribution, then all of these members of Congress, 660 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: stretching back for about twenty years who have had taxpayer dollars, 661 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: not even their own money, using taxpayer dollars to do this. 662 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 1: That would be like their taking taxpayer dollars for their 663 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: campaigns illegally. But on top of that, they did not 664 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 1: disclose it. So if it is a camp, if it 665 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: is a campaign contribution for Donald Trump to pay off 666 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: a sexual harassment or this is not even harassment, donald 667 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 1: Trump did an harass her. Just this is just this 668 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: is a straight up extortion, by the way, I mean, 669 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:26,879 Speaker 1: this is an over an, over an affair. If it's 670 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: a problem for him, though, it's a problem for the 671 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: rest of Congress. By twenty two, they're going to have 672 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: a problem if they push impeachment and there was a 673 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: settlement in their office that could have affected one of 674 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 1: their elections, because they're going to be asked the question, 675 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,760 Speaker 1: did you or someone in your office cause a settlement 676 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: to be entered into sometime in the year of your election, 677 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 1: and are you a felon? Now? If Donald Trump is 678 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: a felon. I didn't like ninety eight and I don't 679 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: like what's going on today for the very same reason 680 00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 1: that you can't remove presidents for these reasons. You know, 681 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: we just we just see the partisan warfare playing out 682 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: and Democrats have absolutely no principles whatsoever here. And you 683 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: see this from the way that they were so quick 684 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 1: to hop on the Avanadi bandwagon. The guy is scummy, 685 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,879 Speaker 1: just scummy, and they're so quick to try to use 686 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: Stormy Daniels to bring down this president. And yet when 687 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: you dig into the details a little bit, I do, 688 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: I am waiting, and I I should have asked I 689 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: we had Andy McCarthy on, I would have asked this 690 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: question if I had remembered. I'll ask him the next time, 691 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: or I'll send him a text message and I'll find 692 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: out what I can. But how is it not extortion? 693 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,879 Speaker 1: Exactly what happened to Trump? Remember, there was no he's 694 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: no criminal. Trump did nothing criminal, was not even a 695 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: llegs or anything criminal. With Stormy Daniels. She was just saying, Oh, basically, 696 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna ruin your life and your family 697 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: unless you pay me money, because I'm going to tell 698 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,280 Speaker 1: everybody that we had an affair, whether you believe head 699 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 1: the affair or not. As I point out this terribly discussing. 700 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: Then you look, Stormy Daniel was obviously a very damaged person, 701 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: very unethical, very gross person. But this is how the 702 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 1: media reacts to a revelation that really the president has 703 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: been extorted play clip eleven. They say Trump directed that's 704 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 1: the word for lawyer Michael Cohen to cover up a 705 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 1: campaign contribution in the form of payments to two women 706 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: with whom he had sexual relations. Some top Republicans are 707 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: dismissing the allegations that Donald Trump directed his former fixer 708 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,879 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen to make illegal hush money payments to two 709 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: women during the twenty sixteen campaign. It's incredible to me. 710 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: This is despicable, simple private transaction in which a porn 711 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: star was paid one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to 712 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,359 Speaker 1: keep silent in the final moments. Right, nothing simple about that. 713 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: Let's remember, these payoffs are about the president having affairs 714 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: with women soon after his wife had a baby. Just 715 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: trying to trash there and over the stuff, just going 716 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: after him. Meanwhile, he doesn't even admit the affair. He 717 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: says he didn't do it. I don't know. I well, 718 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, I've seen no evidence that he did it. 719 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: Could I believe that he did it, shut but I've 720 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: seen no evidence of any kind, and given that this 721 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago, I find that very very hard 722 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: to believe. But you know, you have all this puritanical 723 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: streak from the left on this issue now. And I 724 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 1: don't mean from the left general, I mean from people 725 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 1: in the media who were around back in the nineties. 726 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 1: And my MainMan producer, Mike for example, pulled together a 727 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 1: little a little montage for us here of what the 728 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: Democrats were saying back when Bill Clinton was in a 729 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 1: little trouble for Oh, that's right, as they said, lying 730 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: about an affair at Play twenty three, lying about an 731 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,359 Speaker 1: extramarital affair does not rise to the level of high 732 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 1: crimes and misdemeanors. Violating a marital vial It is not 733 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: an impeachable offense. The underlying issue is about sex. Impeachment 734 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 1: was designed to rid this nation of traitors and tyrants, 735 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: not attempts to cover up extramarital affairs. Covering up a 736 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: private sexual affair cannot compare to the Nixon precedent. This 737 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: is a Republican coudeta. Bill Clinton is guilty of certain 738 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 1: endiscretions in his private life. However, he did not commit 739 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: high crimes and misdemeanors. We have become the laughing stock 740 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: of the entire world because a sexual scandal, perjury regarding 741 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,760 Speaker 1: sex is not a great and dangerous offense against the nation. 742 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: It is not an impeachable offense. Not an impeachable offense. 743 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: They were saying, then, who wants to guess if they 744 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: will use their words from nineteen ninety eight to guide 745 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 1: them now in their judgments about whether we currently have 746 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: a president who has committed impeachable offenses? Oh, who wants 747 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: to guess? I think we're all very clear. There's no 748 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 1: principle involved here. There is only power and the struggle 749 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: for it, and that is what the left wants, and 750 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: they will do anything to get it, and Trump stands 751 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: in their way. Therefore, they will use any tricks, any 752 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 1: play any dirty games, do whatever they have to do, 753 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: and we are supposed to forget about the history of 754 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: how they've acted in the past and allow them to 755 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,840 Speaker 1: just just contort the law. These are the ways that 756 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: they've come after Trump so far. It's also flimsy, and 757 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: it's so desperate, and they just trick you know, the 758 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 1: Logan Act, the Emolument's clause, you know, the tax returns 759 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 1: the this that the paying off the FEC violations. I mean, 760 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: they're just coming at them with everything they can. You 761 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 1: show me the man, and I'll show you the crime. 762 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,760 Speaker 1: Lavrenti Barrier of the secret police in the Soviet Union. 763 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: That is the principle at work here. In fact, you 764 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:06,280 Speaker 1: had a a the incoming the incoming state attorney general 765 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,919 Speaker 1: in New York. I mean, this is really really hard 766 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,240 Speaker 1: to believe this is true, though. New York Attorney General 767 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 1: elect Latitia James says she plans to launch sweeping investigations 768 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: into President Trump, his family, and anyone in his circle 769 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: who may have violated the law. They're saying it out loud, folks. 770 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: This is the New York Attorney general. Remember, can't pardon 771 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: people for state crimes. So that's why they love those 772 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: New York They love getting New York state investigations going. 773 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: The incoming senior most law enforcement official for the state 774 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 1: of New York, Trump's home state, my home state, is 775 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 1: saying we're going after Trump, his family, and anyone in 776 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: his inner circle. This is police state garbage. Did you 777 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: believe that Google CEO when he was trying to tell 778 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: us all on Capitol Hill that there's no bias in 779 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: Google search algorithms against conservatives.

You know, it's so funny. The Libs get 800 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 1: so triggered, they get so agry when we bring up 801 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: that they seem to have a problem. They do seem 802 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:21,399 Speaker 1: to have it an issue with Christmas. That that much is. 803 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,759 Speaker 1: It's it's apparent to me. I mean, I think they 804 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,360 Speaker 1: do have problems with Christmas as a holiday. It's just 805 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 1: not culturally. Even the ones who are who are ostensibly Christian, 806 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, they went, oh, got to be so inclusive, 807 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 1: and I mean, just I won't get it right now. 808 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 1: But for fun, read about the history of quanza. Let 809 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 1: me read about where quanza comes from, who came up 810 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 1: with it, and the notion of like quanza reats in 811 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 1: high school classrooms and stuff. It's the more you know 812 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,399 Speaker 1: about them when you're like, this is really I mean, 813 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: it's it's really up there with you know, the you know, 814 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 1: the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or whatever. I mean, 815 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: It's not a real holiday in any in any notable sense. 816 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 1: It's not a holiday there's any connection to any religion 817 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: or anyway. M But okay, yeah, I mean you could 818 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 1: say hanaka obviously, but you could say happy Hanaka, you 819 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,919 Speaker 1: can say Mary Christmas. You can say both of these things. 820 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,279 Speaker 1: You don't have to eliminate one so that you're but 821 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: Pelosi is like that. But all this shutdown, which will 822 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: be talking more about we got, we got Congressman Louie 823 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: Gomert's gonna be joining us later on this hour, which 824 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 1: I think will be quite a bit of we'll get 825 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 1: a quite a bit of insight. I just also just 826 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 1: like Louie. I mean, I've I've known Louis since my 827 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 1: early days at the Blaze, and he's just he's a 828 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 1: really good guy. He's always fun to talk to. You know. 829 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,279 Speaker 1: Senator John Kennedy is saying, for example, that he doesn't think, 830 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,840 Speaker 1: he doesn't think that that this shutdown is a bluff. I, 831 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: as you know, have been pretty cynical about this. I've thought, oh, yeah, 832 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 1: another oh shutdown, like they always say this. But I 833 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,920 Speaker 1: am very doubtful that there will in fact be a shutdown. 834 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 1: I had been very doubtful until this meeting with Trump 835 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,879 Speaker 1: and Pelosi and Schumer, where he's like, oh, I'll shut 836 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,359 Speaker 1: it down. Oh I'll shut it down. Senator Kennedy, ple ten, 837 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,720 Speaker 1: I think We're gonna have a shutdown for two reasons. 838 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 1: Number one, President Trump does not look to me like 839 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: he was bluffing or is bluffing. And number two, I 840 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 1: don't think Speaker Pomosi is going to agree to anything 841 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 1: because she's worried about her speakership. As far as I'm concerned, 842 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 1: if it's shut down, it's a pox on all of 843 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 1: our houses. I don't know politically who's gonna win or 844 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 1: lose this. I do know that too many people are 845 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 1: preoccupied with the politics of it. We ought to try 846 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,840 Speaker 1: to figure a way out of this. I'm just saying 847 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,319 Speaker 1: based on what I've seen, and I could be wrong, 848 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,759 Speaker 1: and I hope i am, because the government shut down 849 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 1: would would not serve the American people. Well, I don't 850 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,879 Speaker 1: think President bluff President Trump is bluffing, and I don't 851 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: think Speaker Plosi is gonna give an inch because she 852 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,919 Speaker 1: wants to be speaker. And if I've learned anything up here, 853 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but most people in Washington 854 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 1: care about their jobs first. That's definitely true. Careerism is 855 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 1: rife here in DC, in fact, more so than I 856 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,839 Speaker 1: think in a lot of other places, and a lot 857 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: of other industries. I mean the industry here in the 858 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 1: district is politics, and with that there's an unfortunately, it's 859 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 1: very lucrative, a lot of access, a lot of lobbyists 860 00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 1: and people that are representative of different interests that are 861 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:31,680 Speaker 1: just finding ways to suckle at the government's teat This 862 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 1: is why you have I don't even know it's five 863 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 1: or seven now, of the top ten wealthiest counties in 864 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:44,439 Speaker 1: America per capita, per individual, per household are the ones 865 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,839 Speaker 1: that are right around Washington, d C. Now, this is 866 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,760 Speaker 1: this is where, this is where the special sweet sauce. 867 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: You can get a lot of it here in DC, 868 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 1: A lot, a lot of honey for people that know 869 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 1: how to get special access to the to the hive. 870 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 1: And it's a shame if that's the case, but you 871 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 1: know that that unfortunately drives a lot of the decision 872 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,200 Speaker 1: making in a lot of the way that this city functions. Also, 873 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 1: why I just have it, you know, I'm here. It's 874 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: great for my access to the people here, the politicians. 875 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:14,919 Speaker 1: I'm on Capitol Hill, I'm over at the White House, 876 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 1: I'm runner all over this town so I can bring 877 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:22,919 Speaker 1: you information. But man, I miss anything that's not DC. 878 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,719 Speaker 1: A lot of the time that all said, back to 879 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 1: the shutdown, here is it going to be a Schumer shutdown? 880 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:35,280 Speaker 1: Part two? I mean, Schumer is really I think seething. 881 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 1: After yesterday I read this report the President of Trump 882 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 1: threw a folder at the wall and was so angry. 883 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: I said, I watched that here, I watched that a 884 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,880 Speaker 1: whole sit down yesterday. He crushed Pelosi and Schumer. I 885 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: mean Pelosi was like in a daze. And Schumer looked like, 886 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,719 Speaker 1: you know, somebody told him, no nappy time today, you know, 887 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,839 Speaker 1: no nap nap, you know, can't go sleepy sleep. He 888 00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: was really unhappy. And here's here's the speaker and not speaker, 889 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 1: the minority leader Schumer fifteen. President is so used to 890 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 1: obsequious advisor. The president is so used to obsequious advisors 891 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:18,240 Speaker 1: who fail to dispel his false and made up facts 892 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,400 Speaker 1: that he lives in a cocoon of his own mistruth 893 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 1: Leader Pelosi and I had to tell him, no, mister President, 894 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:30,759 Speaker 1: that's not true. We had to puncture that cocoon. And 895 00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 1: he threw a temperate tantrum because of it. Well, the 896 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,680 Speaker 1: cocoon that he lives in where we should have border security. 897 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 1: The cocoon where Democrats are trying to just demagogue the 898 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 1: issue of the border without actually handling it. I mean, well, 899 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:50,799 Speaker 1: I'll talk to you in a moment about I had 900 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 1: a really interesting fun exchange today on my show. You know, 901 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: I was cool as a cucumber. As I whatever I'm 902 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,319 Speaker 1: doing with lives, I try to be calm, you know, 903 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 1: because it's not you, it's not worth it's not my 904 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,960 Speaker 1: style get you know, yell at them and everything else. 905 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I can do that, but I tend not to. 906 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 1: But this whole notion of what is at the center 907 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,719 Speaker 1: of the debate. We have the money. We can spend 908 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 1: five billion dollars on an important government project that would 909 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:17,480 Speaker 1: that would stop a massive problem. And when you look 910 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 1: at opioids. But you know, fentanyl is now the number 911 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:24,480 Speaker 1: one cause of overdose in America. And they're not getting 912 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 1: it from drug stores, folks. They're getting it from cartels 913 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,439 Speaker 1: and from dealers. They're getting it illegally. Now there's also 914 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 1: a secondary black market, but that's a lot tougher. And 915 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, anybody who's selling on a secondary black market 916 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 1: is really taking a huge risk because if they find 917 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 1: out that you gave your fentanyl somebody, that person dies, 918 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 1: you sold them illegally, you're in big trouble. I mean, 919 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,719 Speaker 1: you might look into manslaughter charges. So of course the 920 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,000 Speaker 1: cartels don't care. It's why you've got over seventy thousand 921 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,959 Speaker 1: people you're dying. I mean, this is a national security emergency. 922 00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 1: The drugs are flowing over our border. It's not just 923 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:04,000 Speaker 1: about the opping people. It's also about stopping you know, 924 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 1: forget about the caravans of people. It's the cartels and 925 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,759 Speaker 1: the caravans of drugs they're running into the country. It's 926 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:16,360 Speaker 1: killing seventy thousand people years an urgent health crisis, and 927 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: a wall would help. And every border patrol agent I 928 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 1: have ever talked to you, and I've talked to dozens 929 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,000 Speaker 1: and dozens of them in the last few years, every 930 00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,800 Speaker 1: single one says the same thing, a wall would help. 931 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 1: Nobody says a wall is a complete waste of time. 932 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,680 Speaker 1: Nobody I've never heard. I mean, you know, you could 933 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 1: tell me that there's someone out there who says that, 934 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 1: who actually knows about the border, but I've never met anybody. 935 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,520 Speaker 1: And everybody in the San Diego border sector is like, 936 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,399 Speaker 1: oh gosh, thank Heaven's we have the wall in fact, 937 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,800 Speaker 1: they worry about the sections of the wall that aren't 938 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 1: strong enough and aren't reinforced. That's their concern. We gotta 939 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,040 Speaker 1: fight now on this issue. There must be a shotdown 940 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,560 Speaker 1: or a wall. And we have one fourth of the 941 00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,400 Speaker 1: world's almost one fourth of the world's immigrants right in 942 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 1: the United States, somewhere between forty five and sixty million. 943 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:06,480 Speaker 1: Look at countries that send people all over the world China, India, Mexico, Turkey, 944 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 1: and they lecture people on their supposed civic duties. And 945 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 1: then those are the countries that are least likely to 946 00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,239 Speaker 1: allow immigrants to come in to their own nation, whether 947 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,400 Speaker 1: in California or Nevada, or Paris or London. That the 948 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 1: administrative progressive elite feel that they can take the short 949 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,920 Speaker 1: term on popularity because they're changing the demography. They're creating 950 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 1: a reason for larger government subsidies, entitlements, and fealty with 951 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:36,200 Speaker 1: newcomers who don't really process themselves into the assimilation process. 952 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 1: And then I think they also virtue signal that they're 953 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,759 Speaker 1: so moral people and their wealth or their influence or 954 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:48,120 Speaker 1: their positions insulate them from the ramifications of their own ideology, 955 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 1: so they don't put their kids in schools with fifty 956 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,640 Speaker 1: percent non English speakers. In a case here in California, 957 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,399 Speaker 1: they live in gated communities, they don't feel that they're 958 00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,839 Speaker 1: going to experience the downside verset ten. Instead they say 959 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,680 Speaker 1: racist synophobe, and that deters these people who don't really 960 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,440 Speaker 1: make their feelings known unless the Pew polar Pole like 961 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:12,480 Speaker 1: them ask them. Victor Davis Hansen is spot on here 962 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 1: on immigration. I mean, look, VDH is one of the 963 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:19,080 Speaker 1: great contemporary intellectuals of our time, and in my opinion, 964 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 1: I guess contemporary of our time or the same thing. 965 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, he's one of the 966 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:27,960 Speaker 1: great intellectuals of our day, and on the issue of immigration, 967 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 1: he just he just gets it. You know, we have 968 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 1: a massive immigrant population in this country, legal and illegal. 969 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 1: We take a million every year, and whenever we want 970 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 1: to talk about maybe a millions of love or maybe 971 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:42,920 Speaker 1: we should change something here or there, it's, oh, my gosh, 972 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:47,800 Speaker 1: you're racist. Are all changes to immigration racist? Is that 973 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 1: the position that we're in? It? Apparently it is if 974 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:55,280 Speaker 1: you listen to Democrats. Is the wall racist? Well, in fact, 975 00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 1: here's a perfect perfect place to trans transition into this. 976 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:02,320 Speaker 1: So today on Rise. And you know today there were 977 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 1: two We had a panel. Usually the panel is a 978 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,840 Speaker 1: Republican and a Democrat. There was a mistake today in 979 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 1: the bookings. We had two Democrats. So it was buck v. 980 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 1: Three today on the panel. But please, I got buck fo, 981 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 1: I got all kinds of ninja moves. I'm not worried 982 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 1: about it. And I sent down on this This guy 983 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 1: actually his name is Kelly, and he is from an 984 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 1: organization that trains and it's a pretty from one I understand, 985 00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:34,240 Speaker 1: a pretty prolific organization in this field. They train people democrats. 986 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,280 Speaker 1: They trained democrats to run for office. So you call 987 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,520 Speaker 1: them and they say we'll teach you. So it's really 988 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:44,960 Speaker 1: like community organizing for community organizers and this organization and 989 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,920 Speaker 1: he's the head of it. He runs this organizations. He's 990 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,760 Speaker 1: got some authority. So we're talking about immigration a little bit, 991 00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,320 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to get down to first first 992 00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 1: things here, first principles for a moment. And so what 993 00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 1: is I wanted to hear from a Democrat who's very 994 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 1: involved in you know, progressive circles and progressive politics. Why 995 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 1: are you so opposed to a wall? And and I 996 00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:07,520 Speaker 1: want you all this is from this morning. I want 997 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,480 Speaker 1: you all to hear how this exchange went, because it's uh, 998 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:15,200 Speaker 1: it is illuminating. Play seventeen stative American politics is And 999 00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,280 Speaker 1: why are they so opposed to a wall? Kelly? Why 1000 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 1: are they so opposed to a wall? We have a 1001 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:26,120 Speaker 1: wall in some places. Why not build more wall? Let's see. Yeah, 1002 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 1: why are we so opposed to a wall? I said? 1003 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,000 Speaker 1: Why are democrats? Yeah, why are they so opposed to 1004 00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,240 Speaker 1: a wall? The fundamental argument behind the wall that's made 1005 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,920 Speaker 1: by the other party is that people are invading our 1006 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,680 Speaker 1: country who are rapists and criminals and are threatening your 1007 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 1: very existence. A lot. That's a lot of difficulizing about 1008 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:49,080 Speaker 1: about about what people that the press pause. Notice how 1009 00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:53,040 Speaker 1: immediately I ask a very straightforward question, and we got 1010 00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,080 Speaker 1: we got two Democrats. They're coming in with, you know, 1011 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,240 Speaker 1: with the exact same thing we look with the President said. 1012 00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 1: The President said that there are some rapists and there 1013 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 1: are our murders coming across our border. That is a fact. 1014 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,760 Speaker 1: That is a fact. They can try to run with 1015 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,560 Speaker 1: this hyperliteralism of he said rapists and murders. He's saying 1016 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 1: they're all No one thinks they're all rapists. And murders, 1017 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 1: but there are some come across the border. But forget 1018 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 1: about the rapists and murderers. The argument is for national sovereignty, 1019 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 1: we have to have control over everybody who comes in 1020 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,320 Speaker 1: and comes out. So the argument is knock that they're 1021 01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,680 Speaker 1: rapists and murderers. But just notice how immediately this guy 1022 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,960 Speaker 1: who trains democratic his whole life's work is training Democrat activists. 1023 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 1: He goes to that, and then it continues on play Zach, 1024 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 1: which passed with major bipartisan support back in two thousand 1025 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,440 Speaker 1: and six, which was law they just never funded. It 1026 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,160 Speaker 1: was that they're offensive be a barrier on our southern 1027 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 1: border to prevent illegal entry into the country. Right, So 1028 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 1: why is it such a bad idea? And if you 1029 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 1: want to run overshot over a bipartisan agreement and instead 1030 01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,880 Speaker 1: say we need a five billion dollar wall that needs 1031 01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:03,920 Speaker 1: to be put up through private property, through nature, through etcetera, etcetera, 1032 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 1: so that we keep these rapists and criminals out. That 1033 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,959 Speaker 1: characterize as a whole group of people, immigrants that made 1034 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,000 Speaker 1: this country great. Okay, we just pause here for a second. 1035 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,680 Speaker 1: Think about all the platitudes that are getting thrown in here. Yeah, 1036 01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna have it go through Nate. Yes, I think 1037 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,360 Speaker 1: it's okay. I think the desert will survive a wall 1038 01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:30,040 Speaker 1: through it. It's gonna be okay. Uh, you know, but 1039 01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,400 Speaker 1: this is Oh, it's gonna go through private property. Okay, Well, 1040 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 1: we'll use eminent domain and we'll pay people, or we'll 1041 01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:37,919 Speaker 1: move the wall so that it doesn't go through their problem. 1042 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,160 Speaker 1: We'll figure that out too, Okay. So those are just 1043 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 1: logistics concerns, but that's not a reason not to build 1044 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 1: a wall. Oh and then we go back to the 1045 01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 1: the the usual, the people that made America great, the immigrants. No, Actually, 1046 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:53,680 Speaker 1: I like I like the Americans who are here, and 1047 01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,920 Speaker 1: I like the people who come here legally. I don't 1048 01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,760 Speaker 1: think that the illegal immigrants are the ones that we're 1049 01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 1: gonna just sit around and say they're the ones who 1050 01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:03,280 Speaker 1: have made American great. But keep playing it. We tear 1051 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 1: down the wall in San Diego. I think we should do. 1052 01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 1: I think this is a difference of opinion of the 1053 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,880 Speaker 1: best way to enforce border security. They had a border 1054 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 1: hold us that they want a wall, So I think 1055 01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,880 Speaker 1: it's interesting to hear all these democrats ahead there's no point, 1056 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 1: there's no point in having a wall I'm sorry. The 1057 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 1: head of the CIA told us that that the Crown 1058 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Prince ordered the killing of a journalist. But we don't 1059 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 1: believe them. And you know, we we're gonna we're gonna 1060 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 1: pick and choose which law enforcement we believe. Good time, 1061 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 1: Seawn makes good. It a couple of things there. Yeah, 1062 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,000 Speaker 1: you might have heard. I said, Yeah, that's what we 1063 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:33,720 Speaker 1: call a non sequitur, because that has nothing to do 1064 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 1: with any I'm talking about a wall, and nine wants 1065 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 1: to talk about the CIA. And also the CIA is 1066 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,360 Speaker 1: not law enforcement. Fortunately used to work at the CIA, 1067 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,320 Speaker 1: so I know these things. Um, but you know, you 1068 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:45,520 Speaker 1: couldn't get a real answer from this guy. I asked him, 1069 01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 1: if a wall is so bad, if a wall is racist, 1070 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 1: why not tear down the wall in San Diego? Why 1071 01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,800 Speaker 1: should we have a wall there? Oh my gosh, it's 1072 01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:57,560 Speaker 1: this monument to racism. Can't get an answer. Why shouldn't 1073 01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 1: we have a wall? Can't get it? Now. I can 1074 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,320 Speaker 1: actually help him out, if I chose to, would say. 1075 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 1: You could say it's too expensive. You could say it's 1076 01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: not effective enough based on the cost of what it 1077 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 1: would be. It's too difficult, it will take too much time. 1078 01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,520 Speaker 1: You could make those arguments. The problem as though, when 1079 01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 1: they get into the efficacy argument, you know what happens 1080 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 1: border patrol, customs, immigrations enforcement, law enforcement. You know what 1081 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 1: they say, No, no, this is good, this is good, 1082 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 1: and then they can't use this. The experts don't say 1083 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 1: we should have walls. So the answer why shouldn't we 1084 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 1: have walls? Because Democrats want a legal immigration. That is 1085 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 1: the answer to the question, and they should just say it. 1086 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,080 Speaker 1: When the President said to Senator Assumer, I'll gladly take 1087 01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:44,760 Speaker 1: that mantle, I think what he was saying is, I'll 1088 01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,800 Speaker 1: gladly and proudly take the mantle of doing what we 1089 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:49,640 Speaker 1: told the voters we were going to do, which is 1090 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,840 Speaker 1: build a border security wall. So yeah, the Freedom Caucus 1091 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,880 Speaker 1: in particular, we took a position last night we're going 1092 01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:56,960 Speaker 1: to support the president the full five billion for the 1093 01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 1: border security wall, and let's reform our asylum walls while 1094 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,600 Speaker 1: we're at it, because that will address the problem. Democrats 1095 01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 1: are for open borders. Democrats want to amolishize their parties 1096 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,080 Speaker 1: champion in the last election, Secretary Clinton, what does she 1097 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 1: run on a borderleist hemisphere. So I think it's all 1098 01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000 Speaker 1: part of that, but the President's to day I think 1099 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,120 Speaker 1: made it pretty daring clear he's gonna stand firm and 1100 01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 1: focus on doing what we were elected to do. And 1101 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,400 Speaker 1: I always say, we make this job too complicated. That's 1102 01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,360 Speaker 1: a pretty basic thing to focus on. Don't get too complicated. 1103 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,440 Speaker 1: Just do what you were elected to do. And we 1104 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 1: were certainly elected to build a border security wall. Border security, 1105 01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 1: the wall, the shutdown, big issues looming right now as 1106 01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,720 Speaker 1: we head into the Christmas holiday just ahead. I want 1107 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 1: somebody who can shed light on all these things, and 1108 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,439 Speaker 1: we've got one. Congressman Louie Gomer of the great State 1109 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,520 Speaker 1: of Texas is with us now. Congressman Gomer, thanks so 1110 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 1: much for joining. Of course, thanks for having me on buck. 1111 01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,120 Speaker 1: Let's just start, if I may, with the shutdown. I mean, 1112 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,960 Speaker 1: President Trump in that meeting with Schumer and Pelosi was saying, 1113 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, basically, bring it. I'm gonna shut this. I'm 1114 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,760 Speaker 1: gonna shut the government down unless you guys want to 1115 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,760 Speaker 1: fund the wall. Do you think that the GOP is 1116 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:06,720 Speaker 1: with them on this? I mean, is a shutdown a 1117 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:11,760 Speaker 1: serious a serious threat from either side. It is a 1118 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:16,640 Speaker 1: serious threat from the president, it's a serious threat from 1119 01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,600 Speaker 1: the majority of the Republicans. The only question remains as 1120 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:25,560 Speaker 1: to whether I elected Republican leaders will have that same 1121 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 1: feeling and commitment, because apparently the President is being told, gee, 1122 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:34,320 Speaker 1: if if we don't have the votes in the Senate, 1123 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 1: then there's no sense the House trying to pass it, 1124 01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,360 Speaker 1: which that sounds like the old deep state idea of 1125 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,439 Speaker 1: when the truth is Heck, the best way to put 1126 01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 1: pressure against to get the Senate to do something is 1127 01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 1: for the House to pass it. And then once the 1128 01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 1: House passes it, and I'm sure we'll pass it without 1129 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:59,000 Speaker 1: an anti Pelosi's vote, but once the House passes it, 1130 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:03,240 Speaker 1: then we can all be doing media and help our 1131 01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,479 Speaker 1: president put pressure on the Senate to get it done. Now, 1132 01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:10,440 Speaker 1: there is a huge problem there and trying to get 1133 01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 1: sixty votes in the Senate, but there has been a 1134 01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:20,080 Speaker 1: way and to get this done under reconciliation. Paul Ryan 1135 01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 1: was chairman of the Budget Committee. He has done this before. 1136 01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 1: He knows how it's done. I brought it up to 1137 01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,040 Speaker 1: him weeks ago and I got a kind of an 1138 01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:34,680 Speaker 1: hour role. But but the truth is, there is a 1139 01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 1: bill that would it just simply says we do an 1140 01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:45,080 Speaker 1: amendment to a budget resolution and make spending and in 1141 01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 1: the bill is twenty five billion dollars. What you know 1142 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:51,320 Speaker 1: it would likely or we're told it would likely cause 1143 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,000 Speaker 1: is what we should have done, and actually what some 1144 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:58,080 Speaker 1: Democrats have voted for before. But twenty five billion is 1145 01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:01,280 Speaker 1: mandatory spending and all the all that it will take 1146 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,560 Speaker 1: is fifty or fifty one votes fifty because if there's 1147 01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:09,760 Speaker 1: a tie, then Mike Pence would certainly support the president. So, uh, 1148 01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:14,320 Speaker 1: there's no reason we wouldn't just amend a budget resolution 1149 01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,640 Speaker 1: so that we could do it with fifteen fifty one 1150 01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:20,280 Speaker 1: votes in the Senate and have twenty five billion. If 1151 01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,280 Speaker 1: you want to only go five and get a good start, 1152 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:27,600 Speaker 1: then fine, but there's no reason that we shouldn't go 1153 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,320 Speaker 1: ahead and pass it Congress. What is the what is 1154 01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 1: the Democrat offer right now in terms of you know, 1155 01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,520 Speaker 1: what they would want signed when it comes to the border, 1156 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 1: and what is the what is the GOP requests? Well, 1157 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,240 Speaker 1: they don't want to they do not want a wall. 1158 01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,720 Speaker 1: They do not want the president to have any kind 1159 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: of win at all, and they're scared to death of 1160 01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 1: him being able to say in twenty twenty that ill 1161 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,080 Speaker 1: I told you we'd get a wall built, and we 1162 01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,880 Speaker 1: built it. But they're offering what one point one point 1163 01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 1: five billion, Congressman, they're offering one point five billion? What 1164 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:09,120 Speaker 1: is that money for the one point five it's supposedly 1165 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 1: to get a start going, But that's that would not 1166 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,120 Speaker 1: be enough, and the Democrats know that that would not 1167 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,160 Speaker 1: be enough for the President to say, look at the 1168 01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 1: wall we've built, we built it where we need it. Well, 1169 01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 1: you'd get a good start, but it would still be 1170 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 1: an issue that they would beat him over the head 1171 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:32,160 Speaker 1: with in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty saying, ah, look, you 1172 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,000 Speaker 1: know he promised the wall, and they know they're going 1173 01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,360 Speaker 1: to do everything they can from keeping him from having 1174 01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:41,000 Speaker 1: something he can point to and say, see, don't just 1175 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,639 Speaker 1: what was Speaker Pelosi or soon to be Speaker Pelosi? 1176 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,840 Speaker 1: Pardon me, but what was Nancy Pelosi talking about in 1177 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 1: the Oval office when she was saying, you don't have 1178 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,680 Speaker 1: the votes? It seems to me that one, how does 1179 01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:57,800 Speaker 1: she know that? In two that defies belief, Well, she 1180 01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:01,240 Speaker 1: has said that before that gee that we're focused, don't 1181 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,559 Speaker 1: have the votes, and we've surprised her own votes before 1182 01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,160 Speaker 1: when we did have the votes. So I think this 1183 01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,719 Speaker 1: would be one where we could and should surprise her again. 1184 01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,040 Speaker 1: But yeah, she was saying, we didn't have the votes 1185 01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:15,800 Speaker 1: in the House. You don't have the votes in the 1186 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 1: House to do this. I think, you know we we 1187 01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,160 Speaker 1: sure ought to give it a good goal. Now, Tom Delay, 1188 01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,160 Speaker 1: when he was a majority leader, he said, you know, 1189 01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 1: when I get over two hundred votes, I'm ready to 1190 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 1: go to the floor because I figure, you know, with 1191 01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:33,000 Speaker 1: especially if we have the president's House, when we get help. 1192 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,639 Speaker 1: When we get to the floor, then we can get 1193 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:40,400 Speaker 1: the last votes we need. So we'll see. I think 1194 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,800 Speaker 1: that's the way to do it, you know, get get 1195 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 1: it on the floor, get it past. But I do 1196 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 1: think it only makes sense that we pass an amended 1197 01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,840 Speaker 1: budget resolution that allows us to do it under the 1198 01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:58,840 Speaker 1: reconciliation process. And the only I can only think of 1199 01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,680 Speaker 1: one reason why we wouldn't do that, and that is 1200 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 1: if our own elected Republican leaders don't want to really 1201 01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:11,040 Speaker 1: fund even five billion four Is that on the Senate 1202 01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,519 Speaker 1: side or are you worried about some GOP House members 1203 01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,679 Speaker 1: as well? I'll send the Senate side, Oh my gosh, 1204 01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:21,360 Speaker 1: the House isn't even solid on this. Well, we're solid 1205 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:25,240 Speaker 1: except for our leadership. I think, But I go back 1206 01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:28,439 Speaker 1: two years ago, November two years ago, when I got 1207 01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: up at conference and I said, all right, look, nobody 1208 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 1: has signed up to run against you, Paul, but I 1209 01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:41,120 Speaker 1: would like to know where you stand because you have 1210 01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,800 Speaker 1: not supported a wall in the past, you have not 1211 01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:49,800 Speaker 1: supported a total border security, and those are the two 1212 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,559 Speaker 1: biggest things the president ran on, So I need to 1213 01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:56,040 Speaker 1: know are you going to help the president get a 1214 01:10:56,080 --> 01:11:00,000 Speaker 1: wall built and totally secure the border? And he said, 1215 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:04,080 Speaker 1: you're not understanding what We're getting along great, And I said, no, 1216 01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:08,000 Speaker 1: that's not my question. My question is will you help 1217 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,840 Speaker 1: the president get the wall built and secure the border? 1218 01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:13,639 Speaker 1: And he said, look, we're talking virtually every day. We're 1219 01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,639 Speaker 1: getting along great, there's no problems there. I said, that's 1220 01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,640 Speaker 1: not my question. My question is will you help the 1221 01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:23,799 Speaker 1: president build get the wall built and totally secure the border. 1222 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,560 Speaker 1: And he said, we're doing fine. You're misreading this, and 1223 01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:31,680 Speaker 1: then our conference chair said, the gentleman's time has expired, 1224 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,200 Speaker 1: and so I never got an answer. My question that 1225 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:37,439 Speaker 1: was two years ago, right after Thomason govern we got 1226 01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:38,800 Speaker 1: to run into a break in just a moment. I 1227 01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,800 Speaker 1: sure a quick question for you if we can't get 1228 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 1: this through. Whether whether the shutdown you know, doesn't go 1229 01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:48,280 Speaker 1: the way of the Republicans or whatever. The final dispensation 1230 01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,200 Speaker 1: of that is kind the president just order the military 1231 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 1: to do this. How does that work? Well, you know, 1232 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 1: actually Bucky laid the groundwork earlier this year when he 1233 01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 1: said this was a national emergence. See, and for heaven's sake, 1234 01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,800 Speaker 1: we had this massive caravan coming. It really was an invasion. 1235 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:10,080 Speaker 1: We know that there were more people killed in the 1236 01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:15,160 Speaker 1: last year from the drugs. Most likely they came through 1237 01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 1: or from Mexico, the drug cartels. And that's as horrible 1238 01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:26,760 Speaker 1: and deadly as Vietnam was. That's more deaths of Americans 1239 01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,599 Speaker 1: than we lost in Vietnam in the whole Vietnam War. 1240 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:34,000 Speaker 1: So he would have every legitimate basis for claiming it 1241 01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:37,360 Speaker 1: is a national emergency because it is. It is an 1242 01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:41,080 Speaker 1: invasion because it is, and with that he can use 1243 01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:45,640 Speaker 1: the military however he needs to to stop this national emergency, 1244 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:49,160 Speaker 1: stopped the invasion.

Theresa May was nearly 1301 01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:09,240 Speaker 1: prematurely ejected as the Prime Minister today after forty eight 1302 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:14,400 Speaker 1: members of her own governing party, the Conservative Party, put 1303 01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:17,839 Speaker 1: in letters to the head of what's called the nineteen 1304 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 1: twenty two Committee, which sort of governs the rules inside 1305 01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:24,840 Speaker 1: the Conservative Party. They didn't think she was doing a 1306 01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:28,120 Speaker 1: good enough job with Brexit. It triggered a no confidence 1307 01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:31,040 Speaker 1: vote and she won that vote today amongst her own 1308 01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,360 Speaker 1: parliamentary party. So she hangs on and as you heard 1309 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 1: in that clip, they can't challenge her for another twelve months. 1310 01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:40,840 Speaker 1: But what this means for Brexit specifically is that you 1311 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:43,880 Speaker 1: now have a bad deal that she's negotiated where we 1312 01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,639 Speaker 1: end up paying the British end up paying sixty odd 1313 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:51,520 Speaker 1: billion dollars into the europe into the European Commission's coppers, 1314 01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:55,400 Speaker 1: and what we get in response is basically nothing in return. 1315 01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:57,560 Speaker 1: And you'll forgive the noise. In the background, I have 1316 01:16:57,920 --> 01:16:59,920 Speaker 1: some policeman doing wheelings in front of the move back. 1317 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, are you writing a tuck tuck somewhere? 1318 01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 1: Are you in Southeast Asia? What's going on here? It's 1319 01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:09,600 Speaker 1: absolutely gisarreb. Outside of the Trump International itself, there's a 1320 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:13,280 Speaker 1: policeman doing wheelies in front of me. Right, he saw 1321 01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,600 Speaker 1: a man of action. Everybody international man of mystery. So 1322 01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, right here with the Brexit thing, people in 1323 01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,799 Speaker 1: this country we look at what's going on in Europe 1324 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,479 Speaker 1: mostly and we take it as either cautionary tales or 1325 01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,240 Speaker 1: maybe inspiration or some combination of the two for what's 1326 01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:29,840 Speaker 1: going on here. Right, that's why Europe tends out. Plus 1327 01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, you guys, you're you're kind of our cultural 1328 01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 1: forebears and all that stuff, so we appreciate that. But 1329 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,639 Speaker 1: you know, Brexit move the markets here earlier in the week, 1330 01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 1: people were all freaked out about it, and is the 1331 01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:43,280 Speaker 1: long and short of basically that the elites in the 1332 01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,439 Speaker 1: UK want to find a way to just override the 1333 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:51,080 Speaker 1: referendum that they didn't that didn't go their way. Well, 1334 01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 1: not that they wanted to find a way, they actually 1335 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,080 Speaker 1: have found a way. And it's at the point now 1336 01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:58,360 Speaker 1: where you don't even have a deal or no deal scenario. 1337 01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:00,559 Speaker 1: Remember this is what we were talking about months ago, 1338 01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:02,639 Speaker 1: that we'd either get this really bad deal that Theresa 1339 01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:04,679 Speaker 1: May was offering us, or on the March twenty ninth 1340 01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:06,800 Speaker 1: deadline when we're supposed to leave the European Union, we 1341 01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:08,679 Speaker 1: get no deal and we were revert to World Trade 1342 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,800 Speaker 1: Organization rules. Well, then no deal scenario looks off at 1343 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,400 Speaker 1: the table now, so we either get a bad deal 1344 01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,879 Speaker 1: or a slightly less bad deal. And that's what Theresa 1345 01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:22,559 Speaker 1: May and her romaniac colleagues as we call them. They 1346 01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:24,880 Speaker 1: they've orchestrated this over the last two years then it 1347 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:28,040 Speaker 1: looks like they're about to actually get a great victory 1348 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,479 Speaker 1: in favor of the EU over Britain. So no sovereignty back, 1349 01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:36,000 Speaker 1: very few immigration controls back. We end up paying massive 1350 01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 1: amounts of I mean tens of billions of pounds into 1351 01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:44,200 Speaker 1: European Commission scoffers. No negotiation over our fishing waters, which 1352 01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:46,280 Speaker 1: was a major part of the break to campaign as well, 1353 01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:49,519 Speaker 1: getting back our sovereign right to fish unquoted in our 1354 01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,560 Speaker 1: own waters, in our own territorial waters. And none of 1355 01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:56,640 Speaker 1: this has happened, so breaksit now looks to be not 1356 01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,679 Speaker 1: breasit at all, And when March the twenty ninth rolls around, 1357 01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,320 Speaker 1: it looks like what we're going to have instead, it's 1358 01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:05,840 Speaker 1: sort of what they call associate membership status of the 1359 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,360 Speaker 1: European Union, which is the worst of both worlds. You 1360 01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,160 Speaker 1: take their rules, you give them cash, but you don't 1361 01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,559 Speaker 1: get any representation in the Council of Ministers or in 1362 01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,720 Speaker 1: the European Parliament. Wow. So the elites in the UK 1363 01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:22,000 Speaker 1: and their infinite wisdom have effectively managed taxation without representation 1364 01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:27,879 Speaker 1: in the biggest supernational body in the world. As exactly 1365 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,479 Speaker 1: what has happened and how I keep describing it, and 1366 01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:34,800 Speaker 1: it's been unfortunately not just Theresa Ma's fault. It's the 1367 01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,600 Speaker 1: Conservative Party's fault. You know, I spend a lot of 1368 01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 1: my time here in the United States, and I understand 1369 01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:44,360 Speaker 1: that the Republican Party has a lot of rhinos within it. Well, 1370 01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:48,360 Speaker 1: we have a Conservative Party that is almost entirely constituted 1371 01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:52,479 Speaker 1: of Conservatives in name only, and it's going to end 1372 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:54,840 Speaker 1: very badly for the party over the next two to 1373 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,080 Speaker 1: five years when their will that have to be another 1374 01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,720 Speaker 1: general election and people scratch their heads and say, well, 1375 01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,200 Speaker 1: why would vote for this Conservative Party anyway? And you 1376 01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,559 Speaker 1: know who's the leader in waiting if if that happens, 1377 01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:06,840 Speaker 1: it's the hard left Jeremy Corbyn, who's the leader of 1378 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:10,519 Speaker 1: the Labor Party. He's sort of akin to your Bernie Sanders. Man. 1379 01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:12,800 Speaker 1: That does not sound good. We're gonna we're gonna help. 1380 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:14,720 Speaker 1: You have to help our our brothers and sisters have 1381 01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:17,600 Speaker 1: written out if it goes that way, because the taxation 1382 01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:19,840 Speaker 1: without representation. Then you add on top of that a 1383 01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,960 Speaker 1: little dose of Sandernista socialism, things that things are going 1384 01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:24,479 Speaker 1: to get rough. I just wanted to do what your 1385 01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:26,960 Speaker 1: thoughts ring him on on the latest also on the 1386 01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,200 Speaker 1: yellow vests, these protests kinda handed to the French man. 1387 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:33,960 Speaker 1: I mean, their protests put our protesters to shame for 1388 01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,559 Speaker 1: whatever that's worth. These guys go when they go, they 1389 01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,840 Speaker 1: go hard. But what's the latest here in terms of 1390 01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:42,280 Speaker 1: one what you think they're well, you know, what's the 1391 01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,280 Speaker 1: status of the demands and the negotiations? And two what 1392 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:46,880 Speaker 1: do you take away from this for all of us? 1393 01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:51,120 Speaker 1: You know, in twenty sixteen, when we had the breaks 1394 01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:53,280 Speaker 1: Ait referendum and then we had the election of president 1395 01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:55,200 Speaker 1: and Trump, I turned around to some of my French 1396 01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:57,720 Speaker 1: friends and I said to them, why why aren't you 1397 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:01,559 Speaker 1: guys following this this revolution? And I'll remember I remember 1398 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:04,160 Speaker 1: one of them said to me, she said, you know, 1399 01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,559 Speaker 1: we French, we take longer to do things, but when 1400 01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 1: we do them, they're bigger. And that's exactly what's happened. 1401 01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:13,120 Speaker 1: Two years after the revolutionary year of twenty sixteen. The 1402 01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:16,080 Speaker 1: French are now on the streets. You know, they're burning things, 1403 01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,040 Speaker 1: they're blocking streets, there's obviously a lot of a lot 1404 01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:22,439 Speaker 1: of violence going on. They're doing it bigger. The reason 1405 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:26,800 Speaker 1: is very simple. Emmanuel Macron positioned himself as a centrist 1406 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,160 Speaker 1: candidate against Marine Lapin, who was viewed as the far 1407 01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:32,720 Speaker 1: right candidate in the presidential election. But he's governed effectively 1408 01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:36,200 Speaker 1: as a as a corporatist. He's given big tax breaks 1409 01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:40,479 Speaker 1: to the super wealthy in France, he's cut the minimum 1410 01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:42,960 Speaker 1: wage or failed to raise the minimum wage in mind 1411 01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,719 Speaker 1: with what the French were expecting. I mean, effectively, Frances 1412 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,280 Speaker 1: the socialist country. And this is not a conservative protest 1413 01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:51,280 Speaker 1: you're seeing. It's sort of got elements of populism to it. 1414 01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,759 Speaker 1: But by and large, the French just want more freebees 1415 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,080 Speaker 1: and that's what they're out protesting about at the moment. 1416 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:59,080 Speaker 1: Now Macron will face her no confidence vote himself this week. 1417 01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,400 Speaker 1: He will probably just about win it as well, just 1418 01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:05,439 Speaker 1: just like Theresa May. But but when you look at 1419 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:08,320 Speaker 1: the narrative from the United States, when you see the 1420 01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 1: headlines in the Washington Post in the New York Times 1421 01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:15,559 Speaker 1: saying Trump is an unbelievably unpopular is approval ratings are terrible. 1422 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,599 Speaker 1: Everybody wants him impeached. They have almost nothing to say 1423 01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,320 Speaker 1: about the fact that Merkel is now has had to 1424 01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:24,280 Speaker 1: stand down, May has had a no confidence and mc 1425 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 1: corman is having a no confidence though. These are the 1426 01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 1: three people that they've been telling us are the new 1427 01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:35,120 Speaker 1: leaders of the international neoliberal rules based order, and they 1428 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:39,400 Speaker 1: can't even hold majorities and confidences within their own populations. 1429 01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:44,120 Speaker 1: America actually, going now to Europe looks like a political haven. 1430 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:46,439 Speaker 1: It looks like a look, it looks like a really 1431 01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:49,559 Speaker 1: stable place to be. And isn't that extraordinary when you 1432 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:51,640 Speaker 1: think about what you have to deal with every day 1433 01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,840 Speaker 1: and the press confidences and the Oval Office and all 1434 01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,320 Speaker 1: of that, it actually looks like the most stable country 1435 01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:59,519 Speaker 1: right now? Where's this all heading? In your opinion? In Europe? 1436 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:01,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I know, look, you were an advisor in 1437 01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:05,519 Speaker 1: Nigel Farage. You're very close to some of the movements 1438 01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,120 Speaker 1: over there that are trying to re establish some degree 1439 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:11,559 Speaker 1: of sovereign team and given the failures of the kind 1440 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,960 Speaker 1: of elite consensus folks over there, right, I mean, they're 1441 01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:16,720 Speaker 1: not really the consensus of the people. But you know, 1442 01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:18,960 Speaker 1: the establishment says, no, no no, no, try this person, you know, 1443 01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,439 Speaker 1: the trimac Kral, He'll get it done. Where does this 1444 01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:26,080 Speaker 1: all go next? Yeah? Look, it's not going anywhere good, 1445 01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:28,680 Speaker 1: you know. I I try and I try and keep 1446 01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,439 Speaker 1: a happy face on most of the time. But when 1447 01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:34,280 Speaker 1: you do project these things forward, you know the establishment 1448 01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 1: is doubling down. When President Trump said yesterday, you know 1449 01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:39,800 Speaker 1: if I if I get impeached, there'll be you know, 1450 01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,799 Speaker 1: riots or revolution, he was absolutely right, because we're seeing 1451 01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,320 Speaker 1: that taking place in Europe at the moment. It's not 1452 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,559 Speaker 1: going on in Poland where you have a strong conservative government. 1453 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:50,960 Speaker 1: It's not going on in Hungary where you have a 1454 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,599 Speaker 1: strong conservative government. It's not happening in Austria. It's happening 1455 01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:58,400 Speaker 1: in these these these lishy washy multiculturalist countries like Britain, 1456 01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:03,559 Speaker 1: like France, Germany, and unfortunately, the establishment in those countries 1457 01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:06,000 Speaker 1: keeps doubling down. We're not going to listen to the people. 1458 01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna figure out ways to suppress their voices, to 1459 01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,960 Speaker 1: suppress their votes, to not do what they tell us 1460 01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,160 Speaker 1: to do at the ballot box. And so, I mean, 1461 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:17,840 Speaker 1: if you think the Giljean the yellow vest protests have 1462 01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:19,880 Speaker 1: been violent, I've got to say I don't think you 1463 01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,479 Speaker 1: don't think you've seen nothing yet. I think it's going 1464 01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 1: to get much much worse in the next three to 1465 01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:28,400 Speaker 1: five years.

Today twenty seventeen, the President 1493 01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:52,120 Speaker 1: announced Who's pulling this country out of the Paris Climate Accords. 1494 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:56,240 Speaker 1: To hear the politicians and television news chintuggers react, you'd 1495 01:25:56,240 --> 01:26:00,799 Speaker 1: think it was the worst natural catastrophe. Wellever, what happened 1496 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:05,360 Speaker 1: yesterday on the climate issue is an embarrassment to a country. 1497 01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:08,280 Speaker 1: It should be an embarrassment to him personally for how 1498 01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:11,519 Speaker 1: he answers to his grandchildren. People are going to die, 1499 01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:16,920 Speaker 1: habitat will be destroyed, seas will rise, insects will spread. 1500 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,400 Speaker 1: This will be the day that the United States resigned 1501 01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:21,920 Speaker 1: as the leader of the free world. He is not 1502 01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:25,880 Speaker 1: helping the forgotten American He is hurting them. Their kids 1503 01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:28,960 Speaker 1: will have worse asthma in the summer. The president who 1504 01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 1: talked about putting America first has now put America last. 1505 01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,400 Speaker 1: That was the reaction, just as a little trip down 1506 01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:42,519 Speaker 1: memory lane that we got from much of the elite media. 1507 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:45,280 Speaker 1: Obviously Tucker was calling it out, and I completely agree 1508 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:50,040 Speaker 1: with Tucker. But when the Paris Climate Agreement went through, 1509 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,760 Speaker 1: I mean, this is something that Obama really Obama really 1510 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:58,960 Speaker 1: showed his internationalist streak here on the whole Paris Climate agreement, 1511 01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:04,640 Speaker 1: meaning that US sovereignty, US legislative bodies, none of that 1512 01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:06,479 Speaker 1: really matters. All you need to do is show up 1513 01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:12,040 Speaker 1: with a bunch of fancy global and globalist bureaucrats and 1514 01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:13,680 Speaker 1: come up with some kind of an agreement. I mean, 1515 01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,320 Speaker 1: the Paris Climate Agreement, just just as a little trip 1516 01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:18,439 Speaker 1: down memory lane. Remember Trump pulled this out of this 1517 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:21,920 Speaker 1: and he's right, you mean, the whole thing. I can't 1518 01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,800 Speaker 1: even talk to libs about climate change anymore. They're so wacko. 1519 01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:28,400 Speaker 1: They're so whacko about the whole thing. He can't have 1520 01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:31,040 Speaker 1: an What about the fact that people that have been 1521 01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,400 Speaker 1: saying this keep being wrong, They keeping You want me 1522 01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:35,360 Speaker 1: to you want me to not pay attention to the 1523 01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:39,880 Speaker 1: fact that the so called experts and the scientific consensus, 1524 01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:45,080 Speaker 1: which is really almost an oxymoron, especially on an issue 1525 01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:48,439 Speaker 1: as complicated as this consensus about what There's not a 1526 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,880 Speaker 1: consensus about how much the temperature will rise or fall. 1527 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 1: There's not a consensus about the best way to deal 1528 01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:56,280 Speaker 1: with it. There's not a consensus about what the full 1529 01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,760 Speaker 1: implications will be or won't be. They just all get 1530 01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:02,680 Speaker 1: into this hive mind. I mean, this is just a 1531 01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:06,120 Speaker 1: mob mentality about all the climate. We've got to fix 1532 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:09,439 Speaker 1: the climate. The Paris Climate Agreement. This is from the 1533 01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:13,719 Speaker 1: Paris Climate Agreements. The United Nations website here the United 1534 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:17,479 Speaker 1: Nations Climate Change. It's fascinating stuff. Here's what it says. 1535 01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,559 Speaker 1: The Paris Climate Agreement central aim is to strengthen the 1536 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:24,519 Speaker 1: global response to the threat of climate change by keeping 1537 01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:28,320 Speaker 1: a global temperature rise this century well below two degrees 1538 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 1: celsius above pre industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to 1539 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:36,200 Speaker 1: limit the temperature increase even further to one point five 1540 01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 1: degrees celsius. Additionally, the agreement aims to strengthen the ability 1541 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,880 Speaker 1: of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change. 1542 01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:48,320 Speaker 1: To reach these ambitious goals, appropriate financial flows, a new 1543 01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:52,120 Speaker 1: technology framework, and an enhanced capacity building framework will we 1544 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:55,479 Speaker 1: put in place, thus supporting action by developing countries and 1545 01:28:55,520 --> 01:29:00,120 Speaker 1: the most vulnerable countries. Okay, that last part, let's start 1546 01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:06,360 Speaker 1: that first. That is really just an excuse for global socialism. 1547 01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:09,160 Speaker 1: That's all. That is. The developed countries are going to 1548 01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:13,040 Speaker 1: pay for the less developed countries. The developed countries are 1549 01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,360 Speaker 1: going to have to build the infrastructure for the less 1550 01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:18,400 Speaker 1: developed countries. And the excuse is going to be, well, 1551 01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,559 Speaker 1: we got where we are because of all of our 1552 01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:24,400 Speaker 1: CO two emissions, So they're going to do us the 1553 01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:27,519 Speaker 1: big favor, the big solid these third world countries out 1554 01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:30,360 Speaker 1: there by letting us give them money so that they 1555 01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:34,519 Speaker 1: won't they won't go the carbon intensive economic group. By 1556 01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:37,320 Speaker 1: the way, this just makes people poorer. You know the 1557 01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:39,920 Speaker 1: problem with the climate change lunatics is that there's real 1558 01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:45,200 Speaker 1: damage done by their lunacy. This isn't something that does 1559 01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:48,919 Speaker 1: not have a cost. In fact, the economic costs are enormous, 1560 01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:53,479 Speaker 1: and you know, the countries involved in this are going 1561 01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:57,160 Speaker 1: to that. They're the ones that determine they call it 1562 01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:01,360 Speaker 1: quote naturally determined contributions, and every five years they're going 1563 01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:04,000 Speaker 1: to assess this. There's no mechanism for agreement here. I mean, 1564 01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:08,960 Speaker 1: this is just the faculty lounge in charge of the world. 1565 01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:14,880 Speaker 1: There's no accountability, there's no seriousness. It's just emotions and 1566 01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:19,639 Speaker 1: a whole lot of you know, kumbaya. Let's all hold hands, 1567 01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:25,240 Speaker 1: dance in a circle. It's crazy. And now we're seeing 1568 01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:28,519 Speaker 1: some of the implementation of this and when it finally 1569 01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:31,080 Speaker 1: hits people what this involves, it's really bad. That's what. 1570 01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:34,280 Speaker 1: That's what's happening in France. They realize you're going to 1571 01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:35,960 Speaker 1: add on We've got all these other problems and now 1572 01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:39,120 Speaker 1: you're going to add on fighting climate change to our bill. Please. 1573 01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:42,800 Speaker 1: I mean, here, here's what here's what Macron has had 1574 01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:46,320 Speaker 1: to say about a play clip too. I feel the anger, 1575 01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:50,919 Speaker 1: give us another chance. I want to see an immediate 1576 01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:53,360 Speaker 1: and real improvement and the salaries. And this is why 1577 01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:55,439 Speaker 1: I am ordering an end of the year bonus for 1578 01:30:55,520 --> 01:31:00,320 Speaker 1: all employees without any text. He's just having a give 1579 01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:01,880 Speaker 1: people a little a little tax cut of it, and 1580 01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:03,800 Speaker 1: it's basically trying to pay people off a little bit 1581 01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:07,360 Speaker 1: to calm down. He's trying. It's just this is the 1582 01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:12,200 Speaker 1: the president of France, desperate to try to regain some 1583 01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:15,840 Speaker 1: political stability under his feet and it's it's all. This 1584 01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:17,479 Speaker 1: was all because the climate change. He didn't have to 1585 01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:20,240 Speaker 1: deal with this problem. You know, the yellow vests, you 1586 01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:23,679 Speaker 1: know they're they're coming out, they're so upset, understandably so 1587 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:28,519 Speaker 1: because you're really going to do this to them. You know, 1588 01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:32,000 Speaker 1: we do have wealth. Inequality is a very real thing, 1589 01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:35,960 Speaker 1: and it is the reason marks resonates with so many people. 1590 01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:39,720 Speaker 1: The reason socialism has appeal for so many people is 1591 01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:43,160 Speaker 1: because inequality in talents and in wealth and in life 1592 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:48,560 Speaker 1: is real, and it's very easy to exploit the inequality 1593 01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:52,000 Speaker 1: that exists in order to turn it into resentment, because 1594 01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:56,000 Speaker 1: resentment then also spreads and becomes anger, and anger turns 1595 01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:59,720 Speaker 1: into mobilization, and mobilization gives power to the people who 1596 01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:06,920 Speaker 1: can control that anger, which then brings me to what's 1597 01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:08,720 Speaker 1: going on right now in Paris. Right he was just 1598 01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:10,880 Speaker 1: talking about a Playcliff three is the French ambassador of 1599 01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:14,800 Speaker 1: the US, and they have been rebellion also against our 1600 01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:17,960 Speaker 1: world government, to the government of President mccon. We has 1601 01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:21,720 Speaker 1: been has been trying to reform, reform France. When you 1602 01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:25,559 Speaker 1: are increasing the price of gas for the people, especially 1603 01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:28,240 Speaker 1: for the people leaving in the war areas. It has 1604 01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,360 Speaker 1: consequences on the standard of leaving, and I think that's 1605 01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:35,759 Speaker 1: what the French government didn't take into account. So now 1606 01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:41,759 Speaker 1: I think the President has decided to face Desny's problem. Yeah, 1607 01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:45,000 Speaker 1: because the president doesn't have a choice because a bunch 1608 01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:48,000 Speaker 1: of you know, hundreds of thousands of people are running 1609 01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:51,800 Speaker 1: around and yellow vess being like, guess what, mister technocrat 1610 01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:56,799 Speaker 1: want to be stop messing up because of climate change? Okay, 1611 01:32:56,920 --> 01:33:00,400 Speaker 1: we want better lives now, not in one hundred years. 1612 01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:02,920 Speaker 1: And you know what the French on this, I gotta 1613 01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:06,080 Speaker 1: agree with them. May we be in studio? Well, I 1614 01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:09,719 Speaker 1: understand that Donald Trump doesn't care. Kyleman makes a good point, 1615 01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:13,479 Speaker 1: he doesn't care, But why doesn't Mike Pompeo care? Right now? 1616 01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:17,920 Speaker 1: Are the pathetic deflections that we just heard when he 1617 01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,240 Speaker 1: appeared on Fox and Friends? Is that a patriot speaking? 1618 01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:26,439 Speaker 1: Or want to be dictator's butt boy? Dead serious? I'm asking, 1619 01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:33,480 Speaker 1: are these the words of a patriot? Whoa Mika Brzinsky? 1620 01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:37,000 Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? Well, there's a lot of 1621 01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:42,080 Speaker 1: answers to that question. She used that term a blank boy, 1622 01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:46,360 Speaker 1: which is a you know, it's one of those references 1623 01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:52,240 Speaker 1: that has an anti gay associations to it, obviously, and 1624 01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:54,280 Speaker 1: all you can do is think about the phrase, and 1625 01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:56,120 Speaker 1: you know, it all becomes very clear as to why 1626 01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:59,880 Speaker 1: this isn't a subtle This isn't a subtle homophobic remark. 1627 01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:04,880 Speaker 1: This isn't a subtle swipe at at people who are um, 1628 01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:08,960 Speaker 1: you know, same are same sex attracted. It's a it's 1629 01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:12,680 Speaker 1: a slur, and she went for it. She went for 1630 01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:17,240 Speaker 1: it because in the era of Trump, you see, there 1631 01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:23,720 Speaker 1: is such a psychosis among these elite media types that 1632 01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:30,240 Speaker 1: they're just stepping on these verbal bear traps left and right. 1633 01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:33,559 Speaker 1: And then of course they're under a completely different standard 1634 01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:37,680 Speaker 1: of of so called social media justice right there. There 1635 01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:40,080 Speaker 1: no one's gonna call for the firing of Mika Brazinski 1636 01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:42,439 Speaker 1: or she's you know, the suspension of Mika Briginski. She's 1637 01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:46,000 Speaker 1: way too big a deal for MSNBC. And you know, 1638 01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:49,960 Speaker 1: Meek and Joe are really representative of what it is 1639 01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,800 Speaker 1: that people don't like when they say the elites, um 1640 01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:57,080 Speaker 1: this is. This is very important and I'm thinking more 1641 01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:59,519 Speaker 1: and more in depth about this, and I may even 1642 01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:01,519 Speaker 1: be doing some writing on this in the in the 1643 01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:06,240 Speaker 1: not too distant future. Hint hint. But the problem with 1644 01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:09,160 Speaker 1: with our leads in this country is that they have 1645 01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:14,280 Speaker 1: influence but not skills. They have access and power, but 1646 01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:19,679 Speaker 1: not wisdom and knowledge. And they're a self perpetuating class 1647 01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:25,040 Speaker 1: based mostly upon a system that they have connections to 1648 01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:27,240 Speaker 1: and have figured out, instead of a system that is 1649 01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:32,920 Speaker 1: based on merit ability, skill and honestly worthiness. And Mika 1650 01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:35,400 Speaker 1: and Joe and their whole show really appeals to those 1651 01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:38,439 Speaker 1: kinds of people. And if you watch Morning Joe, the 1652 01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,840 Speaker 1: idea is that you're you're a sophisticated you know, you're 1653 01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:44,920 Speaker 1: you're with the big boys table, You're a sophisticated watcher 1654 01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:47,519 Speaker 1: of news. Meanwhile, I mean, it's like listening to a 1655 01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:51,280 Speaker 1: bunch of catty high school girls. And I'm talking about 1656 01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:54,640 Speaker 1: Joe and you know, Bill Crystal and the people that 1657 01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:58,880 Speaker 1: he's got on his panel and some guy Confessory from 1658 01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:00,599 Speaker 1: the New York Times and these other people, and it's 1659 01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:05,679 Speaker 1: just always this very snide, sanctimonious anti Trump law. They're 1660 01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:08,599 Speaker 1: all saying the same crap. But Meeky here saying something 1661 01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:11,880 Speaker 1: that's that's anti gay to attack Trump. And yeah, she's 1662 01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:15,720 Speaker 1: she's now said that. Oh, she apologized to the Democrat 1663 01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:18,040 Speaker 1: Senator Durban, who was on set with her. I guess 1664 01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:20,040 Speaker 1: he didn't do anything. He was just sitting there. She 1665 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:22,280 Speaker 1: didn't apologize as far as I know, to Trump, though, 1666 01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:26,960 Speaker 1: And you know this, Stephen Colbert not long ago referred 1667 01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,200 Speaker 1: to I can't even say, I can't say on air 1668 01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:34,679 Speaker 1: what he said, but he used a homophobic slur about 1669 01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:37,960 Speaker 1: President Trump and Vladimir Putin. I mean, these people are 1670 01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:43,400 Speaker 1: paid millions of dollars and are so so lucky. They're elite, 1671 01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:46,559 Speaker 1: but they are. They're really elitists, right, They're really just 1672 01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:49,920 Speaker 1: trying to hold on to their social position. They're not 1673 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:55,360 Speaker 1: particularly talented, they're not particularly bright, and yet they can't 1674 01:36:55,400 --> 01:37:00,320 Speaker 1: help themselves. But to risk much of that, or at 1675 01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:04,360 Speaker 1: least risk some of that by saying crazy things about 1676 01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:07,880 Speaker 1: this president, I mean, it's just not rational. It's it's 1677 01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:12,439 Speaker 1: not a normal thing to be a you know, national 1678 01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:18,680 Speaker 1: level TV host and to have to you know, apologize 1679 01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,679 Speaker 1: and you're a Democrat and you're a leftist and you're 1680 01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:26,920 Speaker 1: making anti gay slurs on TV. Yeah, you know, it's 1681 01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:28,599 Speaker 1: one of the and it's one of those things where 1682 01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:29,840 Speaker 1: you just sitting here, you say, I mean, we know 1683 01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:33,360 Speaker 1: there's this double standard. But even with the double standard, 1684 01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:37,719 Speaker 1: I mean, what is her problem, you know, putting aside 1685 01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:39,679 Speaker 1: that she's not going to get at any any real 1686 01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:42,559 Speaker 1: trouble for this, which is just we know that the 1687 01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,040 Speaker 1: media is unfair and it's stacked and all that, but 1688 01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:49,839 Speaker 1: you know, Mika Brazinsky, I just just unimpressive in every 1689 01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,880 Speaker 1: every regard. And I just wish that people watching that 1690 01:37:53,080 --> 01:38:03,479 Speaker 1: stupid show would figure that out.

Well, Martha, I hear what you're saying. 1705 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:04,280 Speaker 1: I think, more than anything else, Trump needs to start 1706 01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,400 Speaker 1: getting fired up about the fight ahead with this shutdown. 1707 01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:10,679 Speaker 1: And you look, you did a good job with Humor 1708 01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:12,960 Speaker 1: and Pelosi. I think that people realize that Humor and 1709 01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:15,840 Speaker 1: Pelosi are when you you know, when you look at 1710 01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:19,559 Speaker 1: that whole situation, there's there's an understanding that they want 1711 01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 1: to be the ones having that discussion behind closed doors. 1712 01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,760 Speaker 1: Trump wants to have that discussion out where people can 1713 01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:28,439 Speaker 1: actually hear it. So there you go. Isn't that that 1714 01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:30,720 Speaker 1: tells you a lot about it, doesn't it? If if 1715 01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:33,160 Speaker 1: it were so strong for Democrats, if it was so 1716 01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:40,120 Speaker 1: politically useful for them to oppose the wall, why aren't 1717 01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:42,840 Speaker 1: they the ones that are making the case to have 1718 01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:44,920 Speaker 1: that discussion publicly? Why do they want to have it? 1719 01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:48,200 Speaker 1: I mean, look, you just you apply basic reason and 1720 01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:50,640 Speaker 1: logic to these things, and then you realize the Democrats 1721 01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:55,920 Speaker 1: are full of it, full of it.

Well, Brandon, 1779 01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:07,639 Speaker 1: why can't they make superhero movies with with just good 1780 01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:10,439 Speaker 1: stories and good acting. I mean, you've already got the 1781 01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:13,479 Speaker 1: built in superhero fan base. They rely so much on 1782 01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:16,040 Speaker 1: CGI and I think it's because they do it for 1783 01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:18,479 Speaker 1: the Yeah, they do it for the global market because 1784 01:43:18,479 --> 01:43:20,240 Speaker 1: they know they're gonna dub the crap out of all 1785 01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:22,800 Speaker 1: these things, and so you know, if it has a 1786 01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:25,479 Speaker 1: big opening in China. They don't care if those of 1787 01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:28,280 Speaker 1: us who actually like comic books watch the movie and say, 1788 01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:34,360 Speaker 1: this is not paying homage to this great canon of work. Yeah, 1789 01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:37,200 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm a fan of the artistic comics 1790 01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,439 Speaker 1: and they I would rather have, you know, Jimpson, Jim 1791 01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:45,280 Speaker 1: Henson like puppetry rather than the CGI. Oh absolutely well, 1792 01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:47,400 Speaker 1: when you think about a Jaws, even though the shark 1793 01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:53,280 Speaker 1: and Jaws doesn't look real, because it's an actual thing 1794 01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:56,160 Speaker 1: that's in the water, it holds up much better than 1795 01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:58,920 Speaker 1: a lot of these movies. Like I saw a like 1796 01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:01,400 Speaker 1: Deep Lucy was Deep Blue c is saved by the 1797 01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:04,559 Speaker 1: Samuel Jackson speech and and what happens at the end 1798 01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:06,800 Speaker 1: of it. But yeah, no, deeply no, But you're right, 1799 01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:09,839 Speaker 1: I mean Deep Blue c. Those sharks, those CGI sharks 1800 01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:13,519 Speaker 1: are way less scary than the Jaws. Like you know, 1801 01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:16,360 Speaker 1: mechanical shark from however long ago? What was this? I 1802 01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:17,920 Speaker 1: remember I read his name. They have a name for 1803 01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:19,800 Speaker 1: the shark. I forget what it is, but it's like 1804 01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:22,600 Speaker 1: Hank or something like that. So yeah, I mean the 1805 01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:26,439 Speaker 1: shark from that's way better. Ah, such as life man, 1806 01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:28,200 Speaker 1: such as they were talking about a big trouble a 1807 01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:30,280 Speaker 1: little trying to remake, and then and then it fell away, 1808 01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:33,160 Speaker 1: and I got all excited about it. Give it time. 1809 01:44:33,200 --> 01:44:35,719 Speaker 1: They're gonna do it, probably an original blood Sport remake, 1810 01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:37,880 Speaker 1: and they could make that actually a pretty pretty kick 1811 01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:43,080 Speaker 1: ass movie. Nathaniel right Hey buck shields high material for 1812 01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:48,720 Speaker 1: the show. The BSO has clear non gender based criteria 1813 01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:53,440 Speaker 1: for their pay structure, but this millennial flutist is indoctrinated. 1814 01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:56,040 Speaker 1: She can't really see the reality staring her in her face. 1815 01:44:57,240 --> 01:44:59,320 Speaker 1: A star flutist. He's talking about this piece in the 1816 01:44:59,320 --> 01:45:02,519 Speaker 1: Washington Post. Star flutist is paid. This is like a 1817 01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:06,280 Speaker 1: male female pay disparity thing. The Boston Symphony Orchestra is 1818 01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:09,160 Speaker 1: the BSO. They're ninety five musicians, sixty three men and 1819 01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:12,720 Speaker 1: thirty two women. Principal flutist Elizabeth Rowe sits next to 1820 01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:17,320 Speaker 1: Principal Obois John Farrillo. She paid. She's paid sixty four thousand, 1821 01:45:17,400 --> 01:45:19,519 Speaker 1: five hundred or four hundred and fifty one less than 1822 01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:23,679 Speaker 1: him a year. Okay, you know, I hate to break 1823 01:45:23,720 --> 01:45:26,599 Speaker 1: this to folks, and they're saying this could change the way, 1824 01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, orchestras pay men and women. I mean, I 1825 01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:32,120 Speaker 1: hate to break it too, folks. But you know, a 1826 01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:36,479 Speaker 1: lot of salary is about negotiation. I understand that the 1827 01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:41,240 Speaker 1: radical feminist types want everyone to believe that it's just 1828 01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:45,120 Speaker 1: a gender discrimination, But a lot of salary negotiation is 1829 01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:49,120 Speaker 1: about being willing to push, being willing to be aggressive, 1830 01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:51,160 Speaker 1: being willing to bluff even and say, you know, I 1831 01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:53,280 Speaker 1: got I'm gonna get a great offer from somewhere else 1832 01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:54,880 Speaker 1: if you don't pay me x or why. Look, I've 1833 01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:59,000 Speaker 1: had to do it myself many times. So our men 1834 01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:03,160 Speaker 1: predisposed to be more aggressive and more assertive in Southern 1835 01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:06,080 Speaker 1: negotiations than women. It's certainly possible. Oh my gosh, you 1836 01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:09,439 Speaker 1: just said men and women are different. It's terrible, but 1837 01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:13,360 Speaker 1: but it's definitely not because people have exactly the same 1838 01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:15,639 Speaker 1: skills and women just make twenty percent less or whatever 1839 01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:17,960 Speaker 1: it is that they say now because or you know, 1840 01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:20,120 Speaker 1: in this case, sixty four thousand dollars less. I didn't 1841 01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:21,920 Speaker 1: know that people in orchestras made that much money. By 1842 01:46:21,920 --> 01:46:23,439 Speaker 1: the way, that's a lot of money, I mean, because 1843 01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:25,559 Speaker 1: that's if she makes sixty four thousand less, I mean, 1844 01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:28,679 Speaker 1: you gotta be in you know, good six figure territory 1845 01:46:28,760 --> 01:46:32,880 Speaker 1: here to be in these orchestras anyway. So there's that's 1846 01:46:32,920 --> 01:46:34,559 Speaker 1: that's my take on all that we can talk about 1847 01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:38,640 Speaker 1: this morning. The time Rachel writes Buck, there's a Battlestar 1848 01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:41,479 Speaker 1: Galactic A miniseries from two thousand and three that's available 1849 01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:45,879 Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime right now. The later four series seasons 1850 01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:49,400 Speaker 1: are a continuation of the two thousand and three mini series. 1851 01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:52,840 Speaker 1: This is why season one, episode one looks like a 1852 01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:56,840 Speaker 1: continuation of something. There we go, Rachel, this is what 1853 01:46:56,880 --> 01:46:59,040 Speaker 1: I've been asking for for a while because it's really 1854 01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:01,880 Speaker 1: not clear to me. And I try to watch Battlestar Galactica. 1855 01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:07,200 Speaker 1: I tried to, you know, be up on it, and 1856 01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:09,479 Speaker 1: I'm like, wait did I miss? And I hate feeling 1857 01:47:09,479 --> 01:47:11,519 Speaker 1: like I'm coming in. I'm somebody who if I missed 1858 01:47:11,560 --> 01:47:13,280 Speaker 1: the first twenty minutes of a movie when I used 1859 01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:15,320 Speaker 1: to go to movies in the theater, you can't handle it. 1860 01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:17,160 Speaker 1: I just I hate it, you know, I can't do that. 1861 01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:21,960 Speaker 1: And I always felt like I was behind on Battlestar Galactica. 1862 01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:24,559 Speaker 1: It turns out, yeah, there was this mini series before it. 1863 01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:26,759 Speaker 1: You don't have to see, but it's kind of based 1864 01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,960 Speaker 1: on something. I mean, you get what I'm putting down 1865 01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:32,040 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm really not I'm really not so 1866 01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:36,000 Speaker 1: psyched about Frontier. A bunch of you gave me that recommendation, 1867 01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:38,880 Speaker 1: and I can appreciate why you like. And Jason Momoa, 1868 01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:42,960 Speaker 1: it's very compelling as Declin Harp it's a cool name too. 1869 01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:44,200 Speaker 1: There was a time when I was like, I wish 1870 01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:46,479 Speaker 1: my name was Declin. That's one of the cooler Irish names. 1871 01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:52,080 Speaker 1: But the storytelling is just a little sloppy, and there's 1872 01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:54,880 Speaker 1: way too much like, oh, we need to do something, 1873 01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:57,040 Speaker 1: let's just stab some guy here. You know. There's not 1874 01:47:57,120 --> 01:47:59,680 Speaker 1: really enough intricate storytelling for me. The acting is a 1875 01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,680 Speaker 1: little like I call it, like I see it, you know. 1876 01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:05,680 Speaker 1: And some of you, some Team Buck original squad, is 1877 01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:07,240 Speaker 1: going to make fun of me because I like to 1878 01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:10,320 Speaker 1: tear apart pop culture movies and TV more than I 1879 01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:12,439 Speaker 1: tend to praise them, and they are correct when they 1880 01:48:12,439 --> 01:48:16,439 Speaker 1: say that. But I just I can't do it. I 1881 01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:18,680 Speaker 1: can't do it when it comes to a Frontier. It's 1882 01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:21,280 Speaker 1: just it's not my favorite. We'll have to do it 1883 01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:25,200 Speaker 1: live Van hey Buck. I stumbled onto your show about 1884 01:48:25,200 --> 01:48:27,479 Speaker 1: a year ago. I've been listening rapidly for six months 1885 01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:30,200 Speaker 1: and enjoy your insight and especially the voices you do. 1886 01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:33,799 Speaker 1: Thinks me appreciate it. Although I'm a little more central 1887 01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:36,720 Speaker 1: than you are, I am still light years away from 1888 01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:39,280 Speaker 1: the modern democrat, libert radical, etc. All I can say 1889 01:48:39,320 --> 01:48:41,360 Speaker 1: about the Muller probe is that if President Trump is 1890 01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:44,400 Speaker 1: guilty of all of the crimes that Libs say he is, 1891 01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:46,680 Speaker 1: Mueller must be the biggest idiot on the face of 1892 01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:49,760 Speaker 1: the planet for not being able to find any evidence. 1893 01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:52,800 Speaker 1: Trump must be some kind of genius. On the other hand, 1894 01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:55,080 Speaker 1: in which case, glad I'm on his side. Do you 1895 01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:57,720 Speaker 1: think if the Libs actually believe in God, Jesus and 1896 01:48:57,760 --> 01:48:59,680 Speaker 1: the teachings of the Bible, they would think he is 1897 01:48:59,720 --> 01:49:02,960 Speaker 1: the anti Christ? Keep spreading the truth, my friend, Shields. Hi, 1898 01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:05,720 Speaker 1: then welcome to Team Buck. I know you've been with 1899 01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:07,760 Speaker 1: us for six months, but I don't think I've had 1900 01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:11,320 Speaker 1: a chance to say that to you before. And yeah, 1901 01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:15,360 Speaker 1: I think that you're spot on. We are supposed to believe. 1902 01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:19,160 Speaker 1: But the most sophisticated intelligence and law enforcement apparatus on 1903 01:49:19,240 --> 01:49:22,960 Speaker 1: the planet is unable to find smoking gun evidence of 1904 01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:26,880 Speaker 1: an international conspiracy to throw a presidential election. This is 1905 01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:33,680 Speaker 1: crazy town, all right. It's just not rational, never mind reasonable, 1906 01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:37,840 Speaker 1: it's not rational. So that's my answer. That's my answer 1907 01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:40,759 Speaker 1: to all that. We're gonna have a fantastic show tomorrow 1908 01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:43,880 Speaker 1: and Friday.
