13
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: true almost every day. Some days we just hang out.

14
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: But a lot lot to discuss today. Give you a

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: sense of where we are going on this fantastic journey

16
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:17,639
Speaker 1: into the news cycle, into principles, political debate, freedom, liberty,

17
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. We will be discussing the massive

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: Uber hack. This is yet another instance of an enormous

19
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: technology company with a tremendous amount of personal data on

20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: tens of millions of people. I am a frequent Uber er.

21
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: I guess is that I don't know what you call it,

22
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: and whenever keep him on. Uba means fast and Gerrman

23
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: so like Uber yeah, guten talk. Yeah, so Uber means

24
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: fast for those who didn't know. And Uber though has

25
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: had a fifty seven million, seven million exposed through a hack.

26
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: So I'll get into that and it's a very interesting story. Yeah,

27
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: this this digital world that is increasingly dominating commerce and

28
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: our day to day lives. Securing it is going to

29
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: become one of the biggest not just biggest challenge is

30
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: one of the most important things we can do with

31
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: our efforts and with our resources and time, and so

32
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: we'll talk a bit about that. Uh. We will also

33
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: discuss how the diversity apparatus or the apparat chicks who

34
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: are pushing for diversity on college campuses, they got a

35
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: tough fight on their hands. The Trump do o j

36
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: is making things a little bit harder for them. We

37
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: will discuss that with you, and then also an update

38
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: on the tyrant of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe, because I mentioned

39
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: that to you before and I have some other stuff too.

40
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: We'll finish the show with Team Buck Speaks, but I

41
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: cannot I cannot lead the show with anything other than

42
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: the biggest news stories in the country right now, which

43
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: are all around the what you'd have to call the

44
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the great sex abuse purge of this is this is

45
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: a phenomenon that there's more information that comes out day

46
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: in and uh and day out about this, given how

47
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: much we already know it is, it is stunning. And

48
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: here's what I would say, we've all known And I'm

49
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna get into some of the specifics in a moment,

50
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: but I try to I'm mold this over and well,

51
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: because I'm always thinking about this radio show. I'm mold

52
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: this over in my free time, which my free time

53
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: has been thinking about radio. Uh And and here's what

54
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: I've one of the things that I've come to. And

55
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: there's a look, there's a lot to discuss here and

56
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: a lot of back and forth to be had on

57
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: the issue of the sex abuse, allegation, sexual harassment, all

58
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: of it. But we've known that this that this stuff

59
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: goes on for a long time. We've been well aware

60
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: of it, the laws against it. Because of that, there

61
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: are civil suits. There have been high plenty of high

62
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: profile cases stretching back for decades. Right and powerful men

63
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: using their position to try and uh, induced coerce or

64
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: force sex from women has also been around for a

65
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: very very long time. What I think is so interesting,

66
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: we're so different. Maybe now, two thoughts I have on

67
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: this before I get into this specific because there's more.

68
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: Oh there's more. If you don't know, I'm I'm willing

69
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: to bet that I'm about to drop some names here

70
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: on air, you'll be like, really, yeah, oh yeah, there's more.

71
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: And let's two things though. One is that the the

72
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: systematic suppression of these stories that has gone on for

73
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: a long time is incredible. I mean, I don't mean

74
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: from the media, although that is true sometimes, but the

75
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: people that were around the abusers in many of these cases,

76
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: we're so invested in keeping this stuff quiet and keeping

77
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: that person in there prominent role right that they are

78
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: so attached to power these and I mean the people

79
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: around the abusers, that none of this would have been

80
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: possible without that venality, without that cowardice, because we're not

81
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: talking about I mean, do you see these stories Charlie

82
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: Rose and uh and you know, like the Kevin Spacey

83
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: stuff and and the Weinstein stuff, and I can't even

84
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the The New York Times

85
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: is keeping a running log of all the guys you know,

86
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: the rat and or you go through the accusations, you're

87
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: just like, this is it is a purge. It is

88
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: a a systematic expulsion of sex harassers and sex abusers

89
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: that's going on. So on the one hand, I just

90
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: I am struck by how many enablers are involved, and

91
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: I think the enablers deserve more. Uh. I mean, public

92
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: shaming might be a tough way of saying it, but

93
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: the enablers deserve more blame than they really do. Uh.

94
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: They're a lot of them are escaping with a lot

95
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: of Oh I didn't know. I tweeted out first thing

96
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: this morning, um that the co hosts on Charlie Rose's show,

97
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: Charlie Rose is the latest big media figure too, and

98
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: he's been fired, he's toast terminated. Out he did it. Okay,

99
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: he's guilty, But I tweet out this morning, I'm sorry

100
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: given the stories that were were heard about Charlie Rose,

101
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: or given the details in that Washington Post piece, which

102
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: I I will rarely tell you that, Oh you gotta

103
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: read this Washington Post thing. You gotta read the Charlie

104
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: Rose Washington Post thing, if nothing else, So you become

105
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: familiar with did you did you? Did you guys see

106
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: this one, the Crusty Paw They call it the Crusty

107
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: Paul when he comes up be kind a woman that

108
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: works for him and starts rubbing her shoulders, grabbing her thigh. Yeah.

109
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys are looking. I know I want

110
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: to vomit too. It is appalling. The Crusty Paul. Oh,

111
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: what a disgrace. I mean, it is hard to fail.

112
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: And then in his statement to oh, I thought this

113
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: was you know, I thought what he said in a

114
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: statement was basically I thought maybe they were into it.

115
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: You know, I thought some of that was part of

116
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: his statement to which is which is astonishing that this

117
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: guy who was like a glorified TV version of the

118
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: crypt Keeper, as far as I'm concerned, that this guy

119
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: was up there and thinking that he could grab it women,

120
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: and I mean, it is just disgusting. I feel really

121
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: badly for a lot of the women that were involved here.

122
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: I really do, because I know what it's like. I

123
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: started a career media seven years ago. Man, it is hard.

124
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: People are terrible to you. You're so replaceable. Owen. You know,

125
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: there's some places with better cultures, better corporate cultures than others.

126
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: But you know, you're really always reminded of where you

127
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: are in the hierarchy, you know. And and it wasn't

128
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: like when when I was in the CIA, there was

129
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: at least, hey, look, everyone who's here's you know, it's

130
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: come for the mission and wants to serve their country.

131
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: There was a basic underlying respect and really honestly a

132
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: pretty profound respect that we all had for each other

133
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: in the agency. And so this is also I mean,

134
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm coming from a place where in the federal government,

135
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: any sexual harassment stuff was dealt with. If it became

136
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: known by anybody, there are rules that you have to

137
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: report it, and the federal government has really deep pockets,

138
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: so they're very concerned about massive lawsuits. So I came

139
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: from a world where I'm not saying this stuff didn't happen.

140
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: It clearly happens in the federal bureaucratic service. It definitely

141
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: happens with elected officials, and we'll get into that in

142
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: a moment. But it was just very it was very different.

143
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: I think the scale and the frequency of sexual harassment

144
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: sexual abuse at a place like the C I A

145
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: just speaking from my experience, it wouldn't you never see

146
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: anything like Hollywood. I mean, you never see anything like

147
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: you're seeing with some of these Capitol Hill stories on

148
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: these politicians. It just wouldn't have It just wouldn't have

149
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: gone because the moment that anybody heard a rumor, who

150
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: was in the who was in the command chain, and

151
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: didn't say something, they're liable. Their job is now at

152
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: stake two, So they have no choice. That's the way

153
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: the regulations work there. Uh So compare that to Charlie

154
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Rose and his staff and this morning his co hosts, Oh,

155
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't know, and we're so sad about Charlie.

156
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: I did see later on, I tweeted it out and

157
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: and then I was pleased to see that the the

158
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: one and only, uh, the great, the great man himself,

159
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh also was like, no way, these ladies didn't

160
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: know something. It's like, well, if I think no way

161
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: and Rush thinks no way, there's definitely no way they

162
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: didn't know. And and it's just, you know, this is

163
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: it's coward as people want. People want to be friends

164
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: with Charlie Rose, they want a job from Charlie Rose.

165
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: They didn't want to rock the boat, and they didn't

166
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: care enough about the women who he really humiliated them.

167
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: I mean, some of what was described in that Washington

168
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: Post piece from Charlie Rose with his you know, his

169
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: crusty claw or krusty Paul whatever. Uh, some of what

170
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: was described with sexual assault. I mean, grabbing a woman's

171
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: hands and putting them in your pants while she's crying

172
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: and trying to get away is sexual assault. That's not

173
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: harassment in the workplace. So this is why CBS and

174
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: and PBS have had, you know, no choice but two

175
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: immediately several ties to this guy, and I'll spare you

176
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: for now at least another part of this conversation for me,

177
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: which is why was Charlie Rose? Why was this person

178
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: inflicted upon all of us? He was pompous, he was nasty.

179
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: I've been hearing for years and I'm not somebody who's

180
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: plugged into the uh, the Charlie Rouse set, but I've

181
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: been hearing for years he's not a nice guy. And also, uh,

182
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: I heard weird stories about him. Now he said, well, Buck,

183
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: why don't you do something? I heard stories third hand

184
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: from other people in media that I had no way

185
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: of verifying, and you know who knows, right, But I

186
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: heard stuff, And if I was hearing stuff about Charlie

187
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: Rose years ago, trust me, his co host son c

188
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: on CBS. They knew. And it's just so pathetic. Oh,

189
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: we would have never you know, we're so grossed out

190
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: and we have never allowed this, huh because and remember

191
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: people like that, these morning co hosts at CBS, they're

192
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: getting paid millions of dollars, all right, you know they're

193
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: not they're not worried about paying the mortgage. If Charlie

194
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: Rose retaliates against them, they're gonna be just fine. There's

195
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: also a power and balance with the whistleblowers, right, there's

196
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: a power and balance that we should keep in mind

197
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: for those who can speak out and don't and have

198
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: the power to. You know, it's one thing. For example,

199
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean I was at I was an intern at

200
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: CBS Eving News. I mean they were mean to me,

201
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,599
Speaker 1: but nothing there was like no haras. I didn't know

202
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: of anything that was legally actionable, but they were very

203
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: nasty to me there. Uh. And I would say that

204
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: if I knew about an anchor there unspecified, If I

205
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: knew about anchor they're engaged in misconduct, and I say

206
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: something I may never get a job in media again,

207
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: and I may I'll get maybe get fired. But if

208
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: another anchor who's already a multi millionaire and has it

209
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: established brand speaks out, guess what they're gonna be. Okay.

210
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: So there's a particular cowardice when the powerful, when those

211
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: who have the ammunition, so to speak, refused to use

212
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: it because it's easy for them. And I really want

213
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: you to remember that as all these sexual harass allegations

214
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: come out, you should make the distinction between you know,

215
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: was this an executive assistant who knew something and didn't

216
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: say something? Uh? You know, I think you give leeway there.

217
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: You know that that man and he a woman is

218
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: trying to pay bills and you know it's tough. You know.

219
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: I know what it's like to go to your to

220
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: go to the A, T. M. And and and not

221
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: really have any money in it. You know, I know

222
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: what it's like to owe money and say how am

223
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: I gonna pay this? And it's scary, it's not fun.

224
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: So there's those people, and then there's the morning host.

225
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: We tryl oh. We thought Charlie was so great and

226
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: he was such a lovely guy. Please please, I was

227
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: hearing stories years ago about how his staff would have

228
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: to go and pull him out of bed. Was he

229
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: totally clothed? Was he not a sure? You can figure

230
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: that one out. Ridiculous, It's ridiculous. It's appalling too. All

231
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: these phonies, the social justice leftist, preachy, sanctimonious phonies. You know,

232
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: more should be expected from them. If you have a

233
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: platform at one of the major networks, if you are

234
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: very highly paid and have been for a long time,

235
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: and you're just too much of a wimp male or female,

236
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: too much of a whim to speak out about young

237
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: girls being being subjected to this grasping predator time and

238
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: time again, you should be ashamed of yourself. So that's

239
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: why I want to make sure that we get that

240
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: on the record here, because there's not nearly enough outrage it.

241
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: You know, in Washington post piece, they talked about his

242
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: executive producer telling these young women, Oh, you know, that's

243
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: just Charlie being Charlie. Really, because I can tell you this,

244
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: if Charlie had ever tried some of that nonsense with

245
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: miss Molly, the least of his problems would be him

246
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: getting fired. So I don't I don't want to. I

247
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: don't want to let people just get away with this

248
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: stuff like, oh yeah, we didn't know they're lying. They're

249
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: lying because their media cowards. They have a lot of

250
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: money and power. They don't want to see it go away.

251
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: And ultimately, it's not about speaking truth to power for them,

252
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: it's about them. It's about their careers and it's about

253
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: protecting what's best for their short term interests. There are

254
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: such a lack of and this is across the board

255
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: with the left wing media, such a lack of inte

256
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: gritty and honor. I'm not saying everybody, but a broad

257
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: scale across the board. Oh yeah, a deficit of honor

258
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: among media types on the left and that's played into

259
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: to a lot of this. So I haven't even I'm sorry,

260
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: I got a little fired up there. I haven't even

261
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,479
Speaker 1: gotten into that fact that the Disney chief creative officer

262
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: is in trouble. He's had to take a leave now

263
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: munquote missteps. I wonder what those were. And then you

264
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: have other Democrat members of Congress who are getting some heat.

265
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: And then also Trump weighed in on Rouy Moore today.

266
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: We will get into all of this. This our friends,

267
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: we have a lot to get to. Just stay with

268
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: me through this break. I'll be right back. Welcome back team,

269
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: eight four, eight to five. I would note that there

270
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: are a whole bunch of oh oh, we have that audio.

271
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna get into some of the d C stuff,

272
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: but first I mentioned those morning show co hosts on

273
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: CBS with what's his name, Charlie Rose. Here's what they

274
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: said this morning. I know you and I have talked

275
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: a lot about this, and it takes a lot of

276
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: courage for these women to come forward, and I think

277
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: that they should continue to do something to do so

278
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: that they will continue to speak O. Yeah, um. I

279
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: also want to say this that this is a moment

280
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: that demands a frank and honest assessment about where we

281
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: stand and more generally, the safety of women. Let me

282
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: be very clear, there is no excuse for this alleged behavior.

283
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: It is systematic and pervasive, and I've been doing a

284
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: lot of listening and I'm going to continue to do that.

285
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: This I know is true. Women cannot achieve equality in

286
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: the workplace or in society until there is a reckoning

287
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: and a taking over responsibility. Nice speech, Nora, O'donnald, But

288
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: why didn't you do anything about it when it mattered.

289
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: Why Why was this for the Washington Post to have

290
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: to go to I think it was eight different sources,

291
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: three on the record, five who wouldn't want to be

292
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: named for fear of reprisals, which I should notice still

293
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: a fear even after the abuser is taken down, because

294
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: the group around the abuser will often look for a

295
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: little vengeance down the line. They don't forget, you know,

296
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: because they like their they like their fat paychecks and

297
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: their privileged positions, right. They don't want that to go away.

298
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that Charlie Rose was humiliating and degrading

299
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: young women for for everybody, this is decades, okay, this

300
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: stretches back into the nine nineties, and it's woman after

301
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: woman after women. And those are just the ones that

302
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: we know about. Once you've had a slew of these

303
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: accusations come out, you can be sure and there's a pattern,

304
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: and there's a clear She would use the word systemic,

305
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: you know, it was systemic how Charlie Rose tried to group, grab,

306
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: harass and assault young women who worked for him, who

307
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: were in his direct employ and whose future as he

308
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: held in the business in his hand. That was systematic.

309
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: It was premeditated, and when you look at the different

310
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: accounts from women, it was the same thing. He would

311
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: find a young, vulnerable woman who had you know, very limited,

312
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, very limited experience. And it's as I said

313
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: in the beginnings, you know, you get fired from your

314
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: first job in media, you may never get another one.

315
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: It's a it's an unfair it's a look, I'll tell you,

316
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: it's a crappy business. I'd always tell people who want

317
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: to do this, I'm like, they're like, fun, why did

318
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: you do? Why don't you go to grats? I'm like,

319
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm kind of nuts. But apart from that,

320
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: Charlie Rose set this up time and time again, and

321
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: people knew about it. His staff knew about it. And

322
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: you cannot tell me in a workplace day in and

323
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: day out with people who know this that the anchors

324
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: who are the ones that I've really hold the most

325
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: responsible other than Charlie Rose, for not stopping this because

326
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: they're famous, they're rich. They could have done something, but

327
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: they didn't want to. How much did they know? I

328
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: don't know, But don't look, don't tell, don't act like

329
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: we're all stupid anchors. It's not just with Charlie Roses

330
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: others as well. Don't act like we're all stupid and

331
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: pretend like you didn't know what he please. I knew

332
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: about Charlie Rose being a creep before I even worked

333
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: in media. All right, we'll talk about Judge Moore coming

334
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: up and stay with me. How slippery a slope is it?

335
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean again, I'm just speaking of somebody who spent

336
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: fifteen years of her life working on Wall Street. But

337
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: if we're going to start to go after everyone's in

338
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: every power industry for something like a butt slab, I'm

339
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: worried that there's going to be no one left running anything.

340
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: That was Stephanie uh Rule on MSNBC speaking about the

341
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: whole Al Frankin situation, which is getting worse because it

342
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: wasn't just group now we also got we got Frankin

343
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: doing a butt grab up in I forget what the

344
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: state was at a fair or something when he was

345
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: running for I think he's running for office at the time.

346
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Uh So. And they, interestingly enough, you have all these

347
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: women that come out today with signatures saying that OL

348
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: Frankin was fine to them. You know, the left is

349
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: realizing that they have created something here a kind of uh,

350
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: sex abuse purge that they can't necessarily control where this goes.

351
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: And if they're going to run with this and be

352
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: happy to tell the stories when it affects certain individuals,

353
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: it's going to affect others that they weren't planning on

354
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: having taken out, so to speak. This it's almost like

355
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: a it's a a movement. It is a sex a

356
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: sex purge or sex assault purge, sex harassment perge. You've

357
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: got to find it better, a better name for this.

358
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: That's something that I will think about. But she comes

359
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: to Frankin's defense, but it will come on. I mean,

360
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: how how bad, how bad could it really? How how

361
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: bad does it have to be for someone to suffer consequences?

362
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: And I would just note that, Okay, but you know

363
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: now we're gonna get into subjective territory with this right now,

364
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: now we get into well, on some instances they will

365
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: give a pass and others they won't. In the moment

366
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: we see this, we know it will be politicized. We

367
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: know where all that's going. I have been telling you

368
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: if you listen to the show, you know it's true.

369
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: I've been telling you that. First Hollywood, then d C

370
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: how many times said it many times here that d

371
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: C you have powerful, a lot of powerful, older, unattractive,

372
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: self important men who really want to use their power

373
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: and authority to try and forced themselves on uh. In

374
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: some cases very young women in their twenties or you

375
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: know intern college interns, young women in d C, as

376
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: well as just dealing with female members of their staff

377
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: in ways that is demeaning and and is wrong. Um

378
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: and sure enough we have yes, Al Frankin, but there

379
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: are others as well. Here is Representative Diana di Jet

380
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: of Colorado talking about an incident she dealt with. I

381
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: think that many members of Congress, certainly professional women, have

382
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: been harassed over the years, and I'm certainly no different.

383
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: When I was a young congresswoman, I was at a

384
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: diplomatic dinner and one of the French diplomats tried to

385
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: put his hand up my dress. You can imagine the

386
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: shock when you're sitting at a dinner like that. And

387
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: then some years ago, um uh, I was in an

388
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: elevator and then Congressman Bob Filner tried to pin me

389
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: to the door of the elevator and kiss me, and

390
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: I pushed him away, and of course some years later

391
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: he left Congress, he became the mayor of San Diego,

392
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: and then he had to leave that position for harassing

393
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: younger women. So it sounds like that guy was was

394
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: a harasser, although I should note that, you know, look,

395
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: Stephanie rule opens up the door. Here opens up the

396
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: discussion with Okay, are we going to start to give

397
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: you know, look at more minor behavior as as as

398
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: an indiscretion without Frankie. By the way, it's not just

399
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: one thing, so we're gonna now. They just really don't

400
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: want to have to have al frank and step down.

401
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: That's all that is. Uh. And people have called for

402
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: him to step down. I should note I've also just

403
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: always heard it's just a really nasty, bad guy. Side note,

404
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: I don't know him, but that's what I've always been

405
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: told by Democrats and Republicans have told me that, uh,

406
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: and very sanctimonious, of course. But with Representative Digitte, they're

407
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: saying that someone tried to push her. I'm sorry to

408
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: get thank you, thank you, Amy to get um never

409
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: heard of her before. I'm not gonna lie. So that's

410
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: the first. Yeah, a lot of members of Congress. I'm

411
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: just saying, so I but good saved by producer Amy

412
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: representative to get uh saying that he pinned her and

413
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: tried to kiss her. I this is this reminds you

414
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: a little bit of the conversation we start to have

415
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: on college campuses too about okay, well, what are the

416
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: expectations of behavior? Do we now insist on? Uh? Do

417
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: we now insist on men requesting permission to try and

418
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: kiss a woman? Is that? Is that the new standard? Now?

419
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: If your colleagues in the workplace, there's other ways that

420
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: could just be made inappropriate. But if a guy leans

421
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: in to kiss a girl, and or if a man

422
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: leans in to kiss a woman, I mean, you know, whatever,

423
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: has he committed some kind of an offense if she

424
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: doesn't want to I mean, you know, is there are

425
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: these there are some gray areas that do exist. And

426
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: I think that when you're talking now, he I think

427
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: she said he pushed her. Any kind of force obviously

428
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: is wrong. But I just want to know what the

429
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: rules are because the rules right now are being made

430
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: up by mostly the left and the media, and they

431
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: will be used to the advantage of Democrats in some way.

432
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: As I have been saying, right now, it's just a purge. Right,

433
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: everybody's got to go. And then the latest here is

434
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: uh the c of the chief creative officer of of

435
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: uh what is it? Disney chief creative Officer. He was

436
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: the director on Toy Story and Rashida Jones. According to Drudge,

437
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: here quit Toy Story over unwanted advances from this guy.

438
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: So I think he's tye amy. What do you think?

439
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: I think I'm just based on the I think he's

440
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: probably toast. Yeah. I think he's not gonna come back

441
00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: from this. So uh anyway, that's that's what I see

442
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: happening here. I just, you know, trying, I'm trying to

443
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: keep it real everybody. Um. And then you add the

444
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: just back to the Franken things for a second. You

445
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: have whether or not Franken should step down? Um, Elizabeth

446
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren. Oh, yeah, she was asked the question. Here's

447
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: how she responded. People are calling for Al Franken to

448
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: step down. Do you think he should? So enormously disappointed

449
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: about this? I knew Senator Franken long before he was

450
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: Senator Franken and his wife Franny, Um, these allegations are seriously.

451
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: Women have a right to be heard, they do. But

452
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: you'll notice she didn't give an answer. She didn't actually

453
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: answer the question should he step down? You know it's serious,

454
00:26:55,040 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Eliz, Thanks Senator Warren Law professor. We know it's serious.

455
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: But there you have it. And uh, then you also

456
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: had Senator Ben Cardon asked whether Al Franken should step down,

457
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: and Representative John Conyers of Michigan, whose name I did

458
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: not even work into the show yet he Democrat member

459
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: of Congress, is accused of firing a woman who rejected

460
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: his sexual advance. Pretty pretty gross stuff, right, it's about

461
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: is in the sexual harassment realm, you know, making a

462
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: move and then firing somebody because they're not into it.

463
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: Is that is like exhibit A, you know, top of

464
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: the list kind of stuff of sexual harassment. And you

465
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: had another Democrat asked about this, and here's what the

466
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: Democrat Ben Cardon had to say. Should these two men

467
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: continue to serve in Congress? Well, I just heard about

468
00:27:53,520 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: the congressman cognisation. These allegations are extremely serious, very serious manner.

469
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: What's too much though? What is too much? Too serious? Congress? Well,

470
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: I think the reputation of Congress is critically important, clear

471
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: and they should be removed from Congress. Well, as you

472
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 1: pointed out a little bit earlier, and there are gradations

473
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: of issues here. I think it's up to the Ethics

474
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: Committee to try to develop the appropriate way that we

475
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,239
Speaker 1: can deal with it these these cases. I like this,

476
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: by the way. Now, anytime I asked a tough question

477
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: from now on, it just be like, well, I mean,

478
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: this is this issue is serious. You know it's a

479
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: it's a serious issue. I'll just do it in a

480
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: in a voice that tries to enhance my gravitas. Its serious,

481
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: and it was very serious. We know that. You'll notice,

482
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: Elizabeth one of the same thing. These are serious issues,

483
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: same thing. We' wan't answer the question though, right, we'll

484
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: answer the question. So when it comes to alleged impropriety

485
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: for a Republican, the answer must be immediate. Uh, just

486
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: instruction of career and you know, no, do not pasco,

487
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: do not collect two. You're done. When it comes to

488
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: a Democrat, there's there's gradations. Watch this carefully, my friends,

489
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: this is now going to be the playbook. They're they're

490
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: gonna say that all you know, those are serious. Yeah,

491
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: we know they're gonna keep talking about how serious it is.

492
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: And they're gonna want this to be a a powerful

493
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: tool for expunging people from public life. But they're gonna

494
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: start to do more and more if this keeps going

495
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: the way it's going, right, if this sex abuse purge continues,

496
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: they are gonna want to create a construct where the

497
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: where democrats. You know, let's look, let's treat this like

498
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: grades of severity, and you know, you know, let's look

499
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: at the whole package, and let's take a holistic approach.

500
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: You could say, we'll revisit the notion of a holistic

501
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: approach later in the show when it comes to college missions.

502
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: Let's take a holistic approach to democrat accusations. Oh, and

503
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: also take into account the politics of the situation, but

504
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: with Republicans guilty guilty, yeah, verdict first trial later. So

505
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: there you have it. That's that is the plan from

506
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: the left. Before we're going to break, I want to

507
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: take Dan listen on the Blaze radio out in Hawaii.

508
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: Aloha Dan, Saloha Buck, how are you today? Good? Good?

509
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: Thanks for your call. Hey. It used to be a

510
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: television reporter and then a satellite uplink truck operator. Work

511
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: with the networks all the time, and they always presented

512
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: themselves as the arbiters of truth to power. And the

513
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: big question that emerges when you hear Norah O'Donnell and

514
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: the other gal on CBS this morning, is this is

515
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: happening in your own home, this is happening in your

516
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: own business, and you don't know what's going on, and

517
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: we're expected to believe that you are a credible source,

518
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: source to truth to power. Absolute totally agree with you.

519
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: It's nonsense, right, I mean, were these people, the people

520
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: around these abusers are being exposed as well? Oh yeah,

521
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: the whole the whole thing is just if folks really

522
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: realize that the media in this country and again I've

523
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: worked in it. Uh, it's media in this country mass

524
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: their stupidity, with their arrogance, pure and simply. Yeah, it's

525
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: absolutely true. Thank you for calling in, Dan. I'm sorry,

526
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, you want to fish up this real quick.

527
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: My wife pointed this out today. I would be making

528
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: the advisories to fights or about their biagraph pills, because

529
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: that's going to be the defense for some of these clowns.

530
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna say the little bit blue pill made me

531
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: do it. Okay, that was a little weird, but all right,

532
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: thanks for calling in um. Yeah, that was like a

533
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: want want right con alright, fair enough, well anyway, a

534
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: student observations and then and then a joke. Okay, you

535
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: know it's it's live radio. Let's get into um, let's

536
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: get into Roy More. I haven't even talked about it

537
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: yet on the show, so I will. I will get

538
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: into that. And also the uber hack, which I think

539
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: is a more it's a more interesting discussion, or we

540
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: will make it a morgenesting discussion that it necessarily sounds

541
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: right off of that. So we have much to discuss.

542
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 1: You might as well get qued up. Now. Trump spoke

543
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 1: about the Roy More issue, and he well, he's not

544
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: telling Roy More to back down. In fact, Trump says that, well,

545
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 1: we'll hear any this side of break. What do you

546
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: think about Trump's response to Roy Moore at this point today?

547
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: We'll play it for you if you already have thoughts

548
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: eight four four to five. We will move on to

549
00:32:42,680 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: that next and we'll be right back. You are you

550
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: are you gonna campaign hard? Look at what are you about?

551
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: He said? Are you gonna campaign car? Are you gonna

552
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: campaign car for? Or more? Media? Letting you know next week?

553
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: But I can you don't need somebody who dropped and

554
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: dry like okay, okay, So I know that the I

555
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: know that the audio there is tough, so sorry, but

556
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: that's the only audio that exists though. So Trump was

557
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: standing next to Air Force one and basically having a

558
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: press conference practically inside the engine. But I can tell

559
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: you exactly what he said. If he couldn't catch it,

560
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: it was hard for me. And I'm sitting here in studio.

561
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. He was asked about Roy Moore

562
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: by the press, and Trump responded, he denies it. Look,

563
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: he denies it. If you look at all the things

564
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: that have happened over last forty eight hours, he totally

565
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: denies it. He says it didn't happen. And look, you

566
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: have to look at him also. So that is what

567
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: Trump had to say about Roy Moore. I would note that, uh,

568
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: the race right now, based on polling I see here

569
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: on the Hill dot com, the race is close. Polling

570
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: shows More and Doug Jones neck and neck in the

571
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: Alabama Senate race. So you know, you have a situation

572
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,959
Speaker 1: here where this is gonna it looks like it's gonna

573
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: be a tight, a tight election here, a tight finish

574
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you must have thoughts on Trump. Keep

575
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: in mind that not only did Trump say that he

576
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: denies it, but Trump also left open at least the

577
00:34:54,640 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: possibility that next week he may campaign for more. Now

578
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: do I think I do not think that he will

579
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: end up doing that? I'm getting Yeah, Tie and Amy,

580
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: I think there's a we have a consensus in here.

581
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Trump will, but if anyone in you know,

582
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: reached in American political history might decide, yeah, whatever, I

583
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: don't care what anybody says. I think this guy is

584
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: telling the truth and I'm gonna I'm gonna support him.

585
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: It would be Trump, So you know, I I stay

586
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm in the prediction game for a lot of things

587
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: for you all listening. I stay out of the Trump

588
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: prediction game as much as possible because very hard. Because

589
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: the moment that Trump feels like the conventional wisdom is

590
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: telling him what he can't do, that's the thing that

591
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: he seems to want to do. So I don't know, Um,

592
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: I really do want to hear from you listening. What

593
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: do you think there have been some there's new information,

594
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: new allegations about or actions, and new ally well I

595
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: think are the new allegation. I can't even keep up.

596
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: There's new information about the allegations about Roy Moore. Um um,

597
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: so Tyrone took so what what the accused her? What

598
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: the accusers say? Yesterday I missed it. She went on

599
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: the Today Show and laid out a in my opinion,

600
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: a believable case of what happened, with pretty good recollection

601
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: and also friends of hers over the years who have

602
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: heard the story sort of corroborated what she said. Now,

603
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: this is different from one of the earlier This was

604
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: the fourteen year old, the one that the fourteen year old,

605
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: the initial one. She spoke on it Today Show yesterday

606
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: and that was, um, she came all sympathetic, that's all right, Well,

607
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: I said this about the woman who I believe said

608
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: she was sixteen, that when she gave that that statement,

609
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: I said, look, she she came across as credible. So

610
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't you know that. I'm just I'm just saying,

611
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: if you're watching that thing, and now people have, they're

612
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: saying that there's I've read a lot of thank you, Tyran,

613
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: but I've read a lot of the uh diving into

614
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: the details of what was said, what was true, it

615
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: wasn't true, um, and I will know that yesterday I

616
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: was traveling around d C. I actually I appreciate the

617
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: tyrone caught and I did not see that interview with

618
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: this young woman. But just have any even changed your

619
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: minds on I'm really curious about that. Have any of

620
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 1: you changed your minds? Are any of you even more

621
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: convinced that this is not true? That this is a

622
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: scam run against Roy Moore? How is your opinion shifted

623
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: in the last few days? Very curious? You know what

624
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: you think about that? We'll talk about uber coming up

625
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: in the next hour to eight four four to eight

626
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: to five. What do you think about the Alabama Senate race? Everybody,

627
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: I'm sure you got some thoughts eight four four buck.

628
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: We will be back in just a few stay with

629
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: me through that. So I want to get to some

630
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: of your calls on Roy Moore. Trump's comments on Roy

631
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 1: Moore from earlier today out on the tarmac but loud,

632
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: but we were able to make out what the President

633
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: had to say. And may Before I do that, I

634
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: just want to note that producer Amy sent me this

635
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: for those who are wondering, am I being too harsh

636
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: on the CBS anchors who said they didn't know anything

637
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: about Charlie Rose, even though they worked with him day

638
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: in and day out. It's a very small business and

639
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: a very gossipy one too. I would note a lot

640
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: of a lot of chit chat between folks about this

641
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: and that and the other thing. Ah there, This was

642
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: a piece on media that Amy sent me CBS is

643
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: Charlie Rose offers to spank Nora O'Donnell as she slaps

644
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: her own butt. That was on TV. So okay, you

645
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 1: could say that you know he was he was kidding

646
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: or you know whatever, But I'm just telling you there

647
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: was there was smoke, my friends, and now we know

648
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: there was a fire, but there was definitely smoke, and

649
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: people saw the smoke and they were like, I don't

650
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: say any smoke. Charlie Rose is great. He's not a

651
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: creepy weirdo. I don't get me started. Also, and why

652
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: was this guy somebody that we all had to like

653
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: listen to and bad ratings on his Charlie Rose show?

654
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: There were the ratings weren't good, So who were I

655
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: want to know who's making the decision to keep this

656
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: guy in his elevated perch all these years? Because there

657
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: were people that were making that decision. They were you know,

658
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: up at re up in his contract, paying them all

659
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: kinds of money, making him into a into a you know,

660
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: going concern, making him into a brand. I want to

661
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: know who that was. I think we should know and

662
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: what their decision making process was, and what did they

663
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: know about all this as well. I think that's fair

664
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: to ask. All right, Uh, let's take Chris in New Hampshire.

665
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: I heart app Hey Chris, I'm good, thanks for the call.

666
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: No problems you were you were looking for a name

667
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: to call these these perpetrators keep it clean. Yeah, I'm

668
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: just I'm just I'm just kidding, And go ahead. I

669
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: mean I'm serious, but I'm kidding. Yeah, No, I understand. Um,

670
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: I I consider the perps oxygen thieves really because because

671
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: they're really you know, they're they're feeling something that they're

672
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: not worthy of, to be honest, in the whole action

673
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: of depriving somebody of just the suple chief at work

674
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: to do your job without being harassed or or in

675
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: other in other ways compromise oxygen theatery. I think that's

676
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: a that's a fair statement. What do you think I'm okay, sure,

677
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna catch on, though, I don't

678
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see a lot of Oxygen Thievery memes.

679
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: Trust the Crusty Paul. I think there are some memes there,

680
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: but I don't think we'll see the oxygen Thievery memes.

681
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: But Chris appreciate the call listening on the I Heart

682
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 1: app from New Hampshire. Thank you, Sir Shelly in North

683
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: Carolina on w p T Hey Shelly, Hey, how are

684
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: you good? Thank you for calling in good. Um, I

685
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: just wanted to say on this whole Roy Moore thing, Um,

686
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Republican Party have gotten themselves in a

687
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: real pickle pretty much damned if they do. They don't.

688
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: You know, you have immorality with this guy, obviously, you know,

689
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: horrible allegations, but you've got it on the other side

690
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: as well. So I don't know what they're gonna do.

691
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: I think they're I think Roy Moore is gonna be

692
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: in this. I mean, I think he's in it to

693
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: win it, right. I don't think he's going anywhere, so

694
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: he's neck and neck with I definitely don't think he's

695
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: going anywhere. He's definitely staying in there. But I think Honestly,

696
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: I think that that if they do put him through,

697
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: they just need to put the Senate ethics to many

698
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: step down and then have the governor appoint somebody else.

699
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: That's the way they need to chell. This is this

700
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: is what I've been hearing about. This is what I've

701
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 1: been been told about recently, and that is that they

702
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: will have So if Roy Moore wins, that means that

703
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: people of Alabama had their say. It means that he

704
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: can then go to the Senate and McConnell I don't

705
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: think Alabama's would be very happy about this, but at

706
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: this point, I don't think Mr McConnell would care very well.

707
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: That's actually David I need to work in my I McConnell,

708
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: my David Gergen kind of sound the same um. But

709
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: then they would not seed him, So they would I

710
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: guess they'd remove him from the Senate, right, and then

711
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: they would have the governor of Alabama, who was obviously

712
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: a Republican, appoint an interim senator and then they would

713
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 1: have another special election. But uh, that's a few steps

714
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: and it requires I should note, it requires Roy Moore

715
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 1: to win. The downside here for the GOP is if

716
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: Roy Moore loses, well, of course, then they lose a

717
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: Senate seat, so that's an obvious downside. But then in addition,

718
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: you'll be hearing about this for a long time. I

719
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: just actually took a screenshot of this with my phone

720
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: because it was a CNN banner. I said, oh wow,

721
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: I see what. I see what they're doing here. Their

722
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: CNN Shelley right before you call, was running with Trump

723
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: backs accused child molester over democrat, which is not just

724
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 1: a CNN headline that's been making the rounds on Twitter.

725
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: The big leftist commentary on this has been that Republicans

726
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: would prefer a child molester over a Democrat. That's what

727
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 1: they're saying. If Roy Moore loses, it will be taken

728
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, sin yeah, but if Roy Moore loses, it

729
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: will be treated by the left as something of a

730
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: referendum on his guilt. And so even if he loses,

731
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: I do think it's important everybody keep in mind that

732
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: the left will be saying, look at the Republicans they backed,

733
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: even though Mitch Mcconnelly's other step away, they'll say they

734
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: backed the child molester. They're gonna say that no matter what, right, Yeah,

735
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: and they are going to say that no matter what

736
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: to to any of them. But I think, I don't know,

737
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: there's not a good choice on either side and are

738
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: going to spin it in a bad way no matter

739
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: what happen. Well, Shelly, thank you for calling it from

740
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: North Carolina Shields High and yeah, liberals, liberals, liberals gonna liberal.

741
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they do. And then the left

742
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: is gonna say about this. We all kind of have

743
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: a sense, I think of what they're going to say,

744
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: and it's going to continue on here. So I don't know.

745
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: I look, I I decided I think Roy Moore is

746
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna win. I think Roy Moore is gonna win. I do.

747
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: That's just the feeling that I get. I think that

748
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: a lot of Alabama's are I think when you add

749
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: together the Republican Alabama voters who either just flatly do

750
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: not believe no, I think a lot of them probably

751
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: believe that he was dating teenage girls legally, I think

752
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: a lot of them believe that, but I think a

753
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: lot of them probably believe that he did not either

754
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: sexually assault or date anyone who was under age, which

755
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: we have the audio of the interview. Oh the woman,

756
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: Um why I've voted as a Republican for years and

757
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: years and years. UM. But this isn't political for me.

758
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: This is personal. It's very close to my heart, and

759
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: I've lived with this for a long time. At fourteen,

760
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: I was not dating. UM. At fourteen, I was not

761
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: able to make those kind of choices. UM. I met

762
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: him around the corner from my house. My mother did

763
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: not know, and he took me to his home. UM.

764
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: After arriving at his home, UM, on the second occasion

765
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: that I went with him, he basically laid out some

766
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: blankets on the floor of his living room and proceeded

767
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: to UM seduced me, I guess you would say. And

768
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: during the course of that he removed my clothing. Uh.

769
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: He left the room and came back in wearing his

770
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: quite underwear, and UM he touched me over my clothing

771
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: what was left of it, and he UM tried to

772
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: get me to touch him as well. UM. And at

773
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: that point I pulled back and said that I was

774
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: not comfortable, and I got dressed and he took me home. UM.

775
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: But I was a fourteen year old child trying to

776
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 1: play in an adults world. A couple of things. Roy

777
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: Moore denies these allegations and further says he does not

778
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: even know you. I wonder how many mays he doesn't know?

779
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 1: Well you you can. You've heard the audio. I'm sure

780
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: you can. The whole interview is available online. You can

781
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: decide for yourself how how you how you find in

782
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: terms of the the guilt or innocence of Roy Moore

783
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: with regard to the charges of underage sexual you know,

784
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: engaging under age of sexual activity. Um. She certainly sounds

785
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: very credible in the in the interview. UM. I think

786
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: what I have heard from a lot of a lot

787
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: of folks, including here on the show as well as

788
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: through emails and elsewhere, is that they they're not saying

789
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: that Roy Moore didn't date girls who were all of age.

790
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 1: They just do not They do not accept the allegations

791
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: as true that he engaged in underage sexual activity or

792
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: sexual assault try to force himself on anybody. That's my

793
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: understanding of what or that's what I've heard or read

794
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: from some Alabama's. So that's one level of this. There

795
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: are those who I think will vote for Roy Moore

796
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: who just don't believe they don't believe it. Then there's

797
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: the other level of the pure political calculation, and the

798
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: pure political calculation is we live in a zero sum

799
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: environment right now for Senate seats and the American political

800
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: agenda and the future of this country, and if we

801
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 1: have to, you know, just hold our noses and vote

802
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: for Roy Moore, even if it may be true. I

803
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: don't think anybody who truly believes this, I think they're

804
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: falling on a reasonable doubt standards. And look, there's reasonable doubt.

805
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: He has not been convicted, but they're saying it may

806
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: be true, but it is not necessarily true. It has

807
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 1: not been proven, and he denies it that in that instance,

808
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: as they weigh it, they're saying that it's more important

809
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: to have a Republican in that seat, and then we

810
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: can figure out what to do with Roy Moore once

811
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: he wins the election. So there's the verifying of the

812
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: allegations discussion, and then there's the cold hard political reality discussion.

813
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: I think when you have those two together, from what

814
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: I'm seeing right now and from the pulse, and look,

815
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: the poll say it's dead. Even so right now it's

816
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: a coin flip um. We will see if we have

817
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: we will see if that change is based on more allegations.

818
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: But his h he's got a campaign aid who spoke

819
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: today on his behalf. Here's look, I just played that

820
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: that interview, which I'm sure many of you view, is

821
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: very problematic, very damning, even um. But then there's Roy

822
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 1: Moore's campaign today. This is their stevement play. Judge Moore

823
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 1: will help President Trump get done what needs to get done.

824
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: And all this Jerry spring Or stuff is over. And

825
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking to all y'all. We're not gonna do this

826
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 1: anymore as a campaign. So all you all, you people

827
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: who run around yelling stuff with Judge Moore asking these

828
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: ridiculous questions. I'm the chief political strategist, and my advice

829
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 1: is every time they gell something like that to you,

830
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: Judge Moore or to the campaign just thinks the Jerry

831
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: Springer show, don't answer it. Judge Moore has answered all

832
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: the questions. We believe Judge Moore. We don't believe these women.

833
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: It's just that simple. And y'all can keep tropping them

834
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: out if you want to, but we're not gonna talk

835
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 1: about that. We're gonna talk about helping Donald Trump making

836
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: American right again. So y'all can quit asking questions. Quit

837
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: yallon staff, quit me and rude, we're gonna say what

838
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna say, and and Alabamian's don't be traded by

839
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: this crowd there at the campaign completely defiant on this point,

840
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 1: saying it's not true. He did not do it. Alright,

841
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: team uh eight four four nine to eight to five,

842
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: eight four four nine hundred buck. I know we've got

843
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 1: some calls up, we could take some more. And let's

844
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: also discuss the Uber situation. It's a big deal, so

845
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 1: we'll get into that. Um, stay with me, all right,

846
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: we're talking about the latest news items, latest stories, allegations

00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: and defenses of Roy Moore here um eight four four

Speaker 1: nine eight to five, No surprise, lots of lines. Let

849

Speaker 1: appreciate the lot of you want to get in on

850
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: this discussion. On the air, Phyllis in California on the

851
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: I Heart app. How you doing, Phillis, I'm doing well.

852
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening. What's on your mind? Well?

853
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: I was just kind of wondering in the interview that

854
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: the fourteen year old that then fourteen year old girl

855
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: gave UM. Did they ask her? Did you tell the

856
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: judge that you were fourteen? Did he know you were fourteen,

857
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: did you let him believe that you were older? Because

858
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: you know some fourteen year old girls might do that.

859
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: So well, Phyllis, I can tell you I don't know

860
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: every state. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know

861
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: every state's laws. I do know that, for example, in

862
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: New York, it is a strict liability issue, which means

863
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter if she lies to you. It

864
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if she even shows you a fake I

865
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: d if she's underage and you engage, you are criminally liable.

866
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: Um So the very state I don't know. You know,

867
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what the law is in Alabama. I

868
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: do know that. You know, Roy Moore was third you know,

869
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: so now we're talking about if you're saying, if it

870
00:51:54,920 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: did happen, what would his his liability of criminal liability be?

871
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: And I mean he's thirty two, she's fourteen. If it happened,

872
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: he committed a crime. And you know, if the statute

873
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: of limitations wasn't not, he'd be facing a whole lot

874
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: of a whole lot of hurt from the legal system.

875
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 1: Um I also had a name for your purge. Oh okay,

876
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: well it's obvious. Oh yeah, I've I've called it the

877
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: purge of the pervert. So yeah, so I so we

878
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: agree on that one for sure. And mean philis, Yeah,

879
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 1: so it has to do with strict liability, and there's depending.

880
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it wouldn't have mattered exactly. And and state

881
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: to state, Um, you know, it varies a little bit.

882
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: And actually I think a lot of people are surprised

883
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: to know that the age of consent is different in

884
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: a lot of US states. California it's eighteen, New York

885
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: at seventeen, Alabama at sixteen, So it varies, and you

886
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: know it's but yeah, fourteen and thirty two. I'm gonna

887
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you. So, I'm gonna tell you something

888
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: that that if I made, the Tyrone said to me

889
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: that was a very clarifying as well. We discussed all

890
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: this stuff af Fair as well as on air, and

891
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: and he's just like, come on, when was the last

892
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: time you and this. I know people say they think

893
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: the yearbook is forged, but let's just take the I'll

894
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 1: take a moment here. He said, what was the last

895
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: time you wrote in a high school girls yearbook? And

896
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: I was like, definitely when I was in high school

897
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: as I'm thirty, I'm thirty five. I do not hang

898
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: out with fourteen, fifteen sixty year old. That does not happen.

899
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm not single, but you know,

900
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: even still, I'm just saying that that would never ever,

901
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: ever happen in a million years. Well, I appreciate you

902
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: talking to me. Yeah, of course, Phyllis, thank you very

903
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 1: much for for calling in um anyway, Alex in Utah.

904
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 1: Listen on the Blaze app Hey, Alex, Hey buck Shield

905
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: time man, She'll tie Hey. So, I'm I just kind

906
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: of have a comment about this Roly Morse situation. And

907
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: he's pro life, right, He's a pro life candidate. Yeah.

908
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: So if I was in Alabama and I'm there, of course,

909
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 1: but I would probably chose a pro life candidate even

910
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:01,720
Speaker 1: if he's allegedly uh you know, the keyword being allegedly,

911
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: of course, and sexual harassmer. I would choose that because

912
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: that's just so heinous and the Democrats are so keen

913
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: on that pro life thing that we've got to do

914
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: something about it, you know, And if that's what we

915
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: got to throw him up there, Yeah, Alex, we gotta

916
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: we gotta be clear on our definitions here because if

917
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 1: if Roy Moore engaged in underage sexual activity, it's that's

918
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: that's not sexual harassment. That's a crime, right, that would

919
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: be statue. I mean it would now look in the

920
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: specifics and how we're getting really you know, into the

921
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: in the legal the legal realities here, and keep in

922
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: mind there's satural limitations as passed, so there will be

923
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: no legal process that applies to any of this. But

924
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: if there wasn't a statue of limitations, I think I

925
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: think it would be sexual battery on a minor he

926
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: would have committed, which is a serious crime. I don't

927
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: know what this what the penalty is for it in Alabama,

928
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,959
Speaker 1: but it's it's a serious, a serious crime. So this

929
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: is not in the sexual harassment category, glory, this is

930
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: in the UH. This is in the sexual assault slash

931
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: underage underage sex abuse category. Right, So it's very it's

932
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: a very it is you know, I remember saying before

933
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: people the serious allegations they just don't want to answer.

934
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 1: It is a serious allegation. Um, well, they were talking

935
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: about al Al Franken, right, but this is a very

936
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: serious allegation. The Franken stuff is what we're talking about.

937
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: In the last hour. Um, but so are you saying

938
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: to me, Alex that like there's a party that feels like,

939
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 1: you know Roy Moore, You're gonna give him the benefit

940
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: of the doubt here because he's a conservative and therefore

941
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: he might be saving lives by being pro life. Is

942
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: that is that? That's kind of kind of what I'm saying.

943
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: If you throw it up on a scale, would I

944
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 1: rather have somebody who's losing babies or allegedly sexual battery

945
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:56,280
Speaker 1: seven years ago whatever, forty years ago, whatever it is? Uh? Well,

946
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: I mean now you're taking the the zero sum is

947
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: here some politics position and all this stuff which I

948
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: mentioned before. People are making that designation as well. But

949
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: I look, if Roy Moore is guilty, Roy Moore needs

950
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: to step down. That's that's how I feel about this.

951
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: But um, anyway, by the way, I wanted a quick

952
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: note thank you for calling in. By the way, Alex,

953
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: I wanted to note that Bill's Bill wrote in um,

954
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 1: hay buck shields hide the oxygen thief was most likely

955
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: referring to something that vets say. Oxygen thief is a

956
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: favorite insult of drill sergeants. I had never heard that before,

957
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: so okay, might have learned something new. Let's talk about

958
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: that Uber situation. We'll get to that in just a

959
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: few minutes. Eight four four to eight to five. Switching

960
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: gears here talk about a massive cyber hack. Stay with

961
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: me for that bomb show about the rideshare company Uber.

962
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: This this is pretty astonishing. Let me give you the details.

963
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: Then we'll talk about why this matters, what this means.

964
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: I mean, you got here's from Bloomberg. Bloomberg reporting on this.

965
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: Hackers stole the personal data of fifty seven million customers

966
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: and driver so I can assume I guess my data

967
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,439
Speaker 1: was probably I mean, I don't know how many Uber

968
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: has in total, but I'm an Uber user. Uh yeah,

969
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: uh and drivers from Uber Technologies, a massive breach that

970
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: the company concealed for more than a year. This week,

971
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: the ride hailing firm ousted its chief security officer and

972
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: one of his deputies for their roles in keeping the

973
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: hack under wraps, which which included a one hundred thousand

974
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: dollar payment to the attackers. Compromised data from the October

975
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: attack included names, emails, addresses, and phone numbers of fifty

976
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: million Uber riders around the world. Okay, it's around the world,

977
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: not just the US. The company told Bloomberg the personal

978
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: information of about seven million drivers was accessed as well,

979
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: including six hundred thousand US drivers licenses, but no social

980
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: Security numbers, credit card information or other info was taken. Well. Uh, Uber, Um,

981
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: I think that people probably would have wanted to know

982
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: about this. There's a big pull quote here in the piece.

983
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: And none of this should have happened, and I will

984
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: not make excuses for it. That is the CEO who

985
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: took over in September for Uber. He said the quote,

986
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: we are changing the way we do business. Um. This

987
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: is so, this is a major hack. I mean this

988
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: is up there with the uh, the hacks of Yahoo, MySpace,

989
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: Anthem Health, Equifax Office of Personnel Management. I mean there

990
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: have been all these enormous hacks where so much information

991
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: and some of it, you know, sensitive personal information has

992
00:58:54,040 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: been accessed, and this is just astonishing. Um. First of all,

993
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: the Uber paid. So maybe this was like that Wanna cry.

994
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what the I have

995
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: to look up with the timeline would be here. There

996
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: was that Wanna cry ransomware hacked. This sounds like a ransomware.

997
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, they have a description here. Let me tell

998
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: you I'm guessing, but because this story just broke when

999
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: I went out air, so let me give you more

1000
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: of the details here from Bloomberg. Two attackers accessed a

1001
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: private get hub coding site used by Uber software engineers

1002
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: and then use log in credentials they obtained there to

1003
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: access data stored on an Amazon Web Services account that

1004
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: handled computer task for the company. From there, the hackers

1005
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: discovered an archive of rider and driver information. Later, they

1006
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: emailed Uber asking for money. So yeah, this was a

1007
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: this was kind of a a data hostage situation, and

1008
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: they say they took immediate steps to deal with this.

1009
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: But wow, um, this is this is pretty astonishing. I mean,

1010
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: that's a lot of info to grab on on different

1011
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: people and Uber paid. Uber paid the bounty a hundred

1012
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: grand to get the info back. This is this is

1013
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: becoming big business, and I feel like nobody really wants

1014
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: to know quite how big a business it is, because

1015
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: it's really disconcerting. And when you know about all the

1016
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: hacking that's going on in all the different companies that

1017
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: want have lost your data by the way, they're like yeah, sorry,

1018
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: and also that are then paying in some cases to

1019
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: get it back. That just means there will be more

1020
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: and more of this man it is and this is

1021
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a way I should note for for rogue

1022
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: states and rogue entities around the world. They were using

1023
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: this largely I think to try and access government secrets,

1024
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe get their hands on classified you know, more in

1025
01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: the military and intelligence side of things. We're looking for

1026
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: an formation like that. But now I think they realize

1027
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: if you can hack into a bank and hold the

1028
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: bank digitally hostage, there could be real money in that.

1029
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: And once you add to it the possibility of untraceable cryptocurrency.

1030
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Bitcoin is just the most famous kind. But you have

1031
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: all these cryptocurrencies out there now you can see there's

1032
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: a there's a whole you know, cyber hacking for profit.

1033
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: It is all gonna be a whole new industry out there.

1034
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: Well it's not new, but it's growing industry criminal enterprise.

1035
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: Chip in Florida podcast listener, but he's live with us now, Hey, Chip,

1036
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm good, sir, Thanks for calling in

01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: my pleasure. I just wanted to. I've been listening for

1038
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: on podcasts for a long time. Actually, I'm from back

1039
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: into Saturdays, so wow, Original Saturday Squad oss absolutely and

1040
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: I've never had a chance to call you, but I've

1041
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: been listening and you've been talking about miss Molly having

1042
01:01:56,320 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: trouble with allergies. Yeah, dog allergies. Yeah, yeah, it's it's

1043
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: My daughter is a veterinarian and she has allergies to cats,

1044
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 1: which is not good for veterinarians. But she takes a

1045
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: third tech every morning before she goes to work, and

1046
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: that seems to work really okay, and she doesn't have

1047
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: much problem with that. That's good to know because some

1048
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 1: people have been advising shots, like you get a series

1049
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: of shots over time, they can I guess dull the

1050
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: allergy in some way. Yeah, it can, but it's this

1051
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: for her at work because she's it's not a serious

1052
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 1: allergy that she has, but she's definitely um, she's definitely

1053
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 1: has problems with cats and allergically that I hear you man, Well,

1061
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: of canaan companion. I think it's like for New York City,

1062
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: I think the sweet spots, like a thirty or forty pounder.

1063
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: Maybe she's she wants more like a sixty or seventy pounder.

1064
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's a lot of producer Amy and

1065
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: Ty writer both like, ah, that's a lot of dog.

1066
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: She she likes. Hey, she likes big dogs. You know,

1067
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 1: what can you do? I keep telling her a bulldog

1068
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: is like, is like fifty pounds. But she's like, well,

1069
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: that's all They're just chubby. I'm like, yeah, but they're

1070
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: so lovable. Anyway, this is this is the ongoing debate.

1071
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: One day we'll just one they was gonna go rescue

1072
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: the most mangy looking pup weekend from the kennel. But anyway,

01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna come back here with Selena Zito in just

01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 1: also one of the few people who saw Trump is

1081
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: M coming unders made efforts to understand Trump is m

1082
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: as a journalist, and she joins us now with her insights. Lena,

1083
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 1: great to have you back. Hey, thanks so much for

1084
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: having me. Um. So, before we get into the latest headlines,

1085
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: per se, I just want to note that there are

1086
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: media outlets that are comparing Charles Manson to Trump. You're

1087
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to explain to me because Charles Manson is dead. Everybody, Yeah,

1088
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: let's celebrate, but you know, they're comparing Charles Manson to Trump.

1089
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: That just seems insane, even for a crazy media. Oh,

1090
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 1: it is absolutely insane. And as soon as I saw

1091
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: news Week tweet that, I went I think my reaction

1092
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: was this is why they hate us. And then I'm like,

1093
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: never mind, I give up there. This is never going

1094
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: to I mean, if people want to, if people are

1095
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: still perplexed as to why there is such a deep

1096
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: just trust for the media in in understanding voters outside

1097
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: of the more cosmopolitan areas of New York and Washington

1098
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: and Los Angeles. Uh, making comparisons of the sitting president

1099
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: UH to a mass murderer, probably the most heinous hated

1100
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: man until Osama bin Lady came along in our culture

1101
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: due to the way she brutally and his followers brutally

1102
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: killed um eight people over three days. I just I'm

1103
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 1: just my head hurts thinking about, like the thought process

1104
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: that went into that don't place. I mean, you're you're

1105
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: you're an actual journalist, right. I'm a guy who has

1106
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: a lot of opinions of you're an actual journalist and

1107
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: don't don't places like Newsweek realize that I understand the

1108
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: game at some level. You know, you run a splashy line,

1109
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: you try to get people to click, and maybe you

1110
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: do real journalism afterwards. But you can't run stuff in headlines,

1111
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: never mind entire pieces that are just discrediting and crazy

1112
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: DoD They realize that there's a loss here in the

1113
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: value proposition. Yeah, I mean that headline matched the story

1114
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: for once, right, and the story is just preposterous. And

1115
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: and you know, if you know, I mean, there are

1116
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: a variety of all kinds of people that are on Twitter,

1117
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: and all kinds of age groups, and and and so

1118
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: the younger people might think, oh, it's you know, it's clickbait,

1119
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: and and they're a little more savvy, but dang, if

1120
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: you click onto that thing, it lives up to the headline.

1121
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: And I just I just don't understand why why they

1122
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: think it's okay to write a story like that based

1123
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: on absolutely no facts. I mean, that's what we do

1124
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: in journalism, right, even when you are writing an opinion piece,

1125
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 1: it has it has to be factual. I mean, this

1126
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: is such an InCred double stretch, and it's so insulting. Um,

1127
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: it was the think back of people who voted for

1128
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: for Barack Obama or or George Chelly a fish and

1129
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: and and to compare sort of the you know when

1130
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 1: when you vote for someone, a lot of those the

1131
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: projection of yourself, whether you want to be, you see

1132
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: yourself in that person or you see your values in

1133
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: that person. So when you attack that person with such

1134
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: a sort of awful thing like that, an awful, you know,

1135
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 1: cultural person, and you compare them to that, you are

1136
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 1: then attacking them and where they live and where they

1137
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: sit in their communities. Yeah, I mean, it's it's like

1138
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Newsweek is doing accidental or unintentional fundraising for the the

1139
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Trump victory campaign by doing stuff like that. When I

1140
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: when I see tweets like them like Trump is going

1141
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: to be president forever, they keep this up. Yeah, and

1142
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: as you know, that Washington Post how to piece out

1143
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 1: and then this is analysis to be fair, so at

1144
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: least they call it an analysis, although I think the

1145
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: way that aalysis on front pages and actual news are

1146
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: presented sometimes it's it's a pretty gray I mean, you

1147
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: have to really look for little analysis tag. But anyway,

1148
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: but did President Trump's ancestors migrate to the United States

1149
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: because of climate change? Like? Okay, so now Trump is

1150
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 1: Trump should know that, we we should even did you

1151
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: see that? It's amazing? No, no, no, Selena's please no. Yeah,

1152
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 1: I can't even believe that that was like it. I

1153
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: can't believe someone think that, Like, I don't know people

1154
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,839
Speaker 1: that think that way. Yeah, I mean that the takeaway

1155
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: is supposed to be that Trump denies the science that

1156
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 1: is the very reason for his rise in this country.

1157
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 1: You know, he's essentially ungrateful to climate change. It's pretty crazy. Anyway,

1158
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to see the editor that says, oh, that's

1159
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: a great thesis. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe

1160
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:54,680
Speaker 1: the stuff. Maybe the stuff gets clicks. We're speaking of

1161
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: Selena's you know everybody, author of the upcoming book The

1162
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: Great Great Revolt Inside the Populous Coalition Reshaping American Politics.

1163
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: The Great Revolt available for pre order on Amazon for

1164
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 1: those of you're listening. Uh, Selen, a couple more things

1165
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: before we let you get back to uh all your

1166
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 1: your journalists stuff. Um uh the latest sexual harassment allegations.

1167
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 1: You've got John Conyer is in here. I've been saying

1168
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: for weeks on this show that, Oh, don't think it's

1169
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: just gonna be Hollywood. D C is next one, you know?

1170
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,839
Speaker 1: Or do you think that this is just the beginning

1171
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: for d C. It feels like Hollywood. They've run through

1172
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:33,560
Speaker 1: some big names. I don't know if there's gonna be

1173
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: even bigger names, but they've taken some We haven't seen

1174
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: that many big names inside the belt Way that have

1175
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: been newly accused of anything. I think that's called I

1176
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 1: think we're just at the tip of the iceberg. I

1177
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: think that this there is this is going to be

1178
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 1: devastating um to to Washington, and I think it's going

1179
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 1: to be devastating to the media. And I think it's

1180
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: going to be continued to be devastating to Hollywood, which

1181
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:08,719
Speaker 1: is like really sort of fascinating because that is those

1182
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:12,600
Speaker 1: three entities are what populists on both sides of the

1183
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: of the aisle have been sort of upset with. And

1184
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 1: and then you know the to to see this sort

1185
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: of all crumble and and also Buck, how about the

1186
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:30,879
Speaker 1: people that defend the indefensible? I mean is I saw this, uh,

1187
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,600
Speaker 1: this letter that went out, and as a woman, I

1188
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: know that this is something that would intimidate me by

1189
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: other women. So there was a letter that went out,

1190
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: so very six women find it. Who worked her out

1191
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,560
Speaker 1: without frank and whether it was an S and M

1192
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: O or Senate staff current informa who signed saying that

1193
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: he was has nothing, been nothing but a perfect gentleman.

1194
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing that would ice another woman

1195
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 1: from saying anything. Selena, I've been saying in recent days

1196
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: on a podcast asked and now I'm staying on the

1197
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 1: show that there are people need to think of it

1198
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: as media deep state elements in a sense that just

1199
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 1: because like a Charlie Rose or maybe an al Frankie,

1200
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: but Charlie Rose is clearly he's toast, doesn't mean that

1201
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,680
Speaker 1: there aren't people who stay behind who might decide to

1202
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: get a little payback at some of those who come

1203
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: out and speak out, especially if they're inside the industry,

1204
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: and so you know, it's it's not safe. Even even

1205
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:31,480
Speaker 1: after the person finally get some measure of of punishment

1206
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: and justice may be served at some level, it's not

1207
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: totally safe to come out and say, Wow, what a

1208
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 1: creep this guy is, because you know, someone like me,

1209
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: I might be up for a job in a few

1210
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: years and Charlie Rose's executive producer will be the person

1211
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 1: making the choices and guess what she may think that

1212
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, what happened to Charlie. I'm just speaking theoretically here,

1213
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:51,719
Speaker 1: but she may think it's kind of unfair and didn't

1214
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: like what I had to say. Well, unfortunately, what you

1215
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: just that scenario that you've just laid out, it's so

1216
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: common and and and so much a part of of

1217
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: of politics and media. But you know, I'll be honest

1218
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: with you. I've worked in in other sort of different

1219
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 1: kinds of um um places outside of media in in

1220
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:19,560
Speaker 1: my fifty eight years, and and that kind of attitude

1221
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:25,879
Speaker 1: is everywhere. You know, you're you're afraid to say something

1222
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: because three three layers of people later, you you might

1223
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 1: have to come face to face with this person. And

1224
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 1: so you don't say anything, and you know, you hold

1225
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: your fire, um because if you do say something, it comes,

1226
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, especially with social media, and now you do

1227
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,480
Speaker 1: is start to search someone's Twitter feeds and say, oh

1228
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 1: at crossing that guy off, he's not getting that job.

1229
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah no. And I'm by the way, I'm theorizing

1230
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: about what could happen, but I also know what has happened,

1231
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: so I know what instance is where people have been.

1232
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:03,480
Speaker 1: It's very it's so hard to prove, especially long term retaliation.

1233
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: But those who speak out against creeps could run the

1234
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: risk of the creeps allies, especially because I think there's

1235
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: a guilt complex with some of them. I mean with

1236
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: with Charlie rose Uh specifically Selena. We we see that

1237
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: there were people around and by the way, I'll just

1238
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 1: say it, I don't buy that his co host didn't

1239
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: know I tweeted and all this more. I don't buy that.

1240
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:23,719
Speaker 1: I mean when I say don't know, they maybe didn't

1241
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 1: know the full extent, but they knew he was shady,

1242
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: and other people around him knew he was shady that

1243
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 1: producers knew. I mean, come on, right, but they may

1244
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: feel guilty and they may want to lash out at

1245
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:37,599
Speaker 1: people who point this out down the line. Yeah, it's

1246
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: part of the human frail. The right. You you you

1247
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 1: aren't directly responsible, but yet you feel directly responsible. And

1248
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 1: the only way you protect yourself is by hurting someone else.

1249
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,759
Speaker 1: Selena Zito is author of the upcoming book The Great

1260
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 1: about the diversity. Uh, the diversity agenda. Uh, the diversity

1261
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 1: apparatus is under assault. And I will say this is

1262
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 1: a good thing. It's under assault at Harvard University even

1263
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: talk about that also the end of a tyrant an

1264
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: update on Zimbabwe, and then some team Buck speaks, So

1265
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 1: a jam packed third hour stay with me. Trump's d

1266
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: o J is doing some great stuff when it comes

1267
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: to a firm of action. My friends story today in

1268
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:00,680
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal that I want to talk to

1269
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: you about, it's just delicious. It's amazing. You're gonna love

1270
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: this because for a long time, liberals, progressives, the media,

1271
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 1: they've been playing this game of oh, we just use

1272
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 1: we just use a holistic admissions process, which is just

1273
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 1: an excuse to do whatever the heck. These schools creating

1274
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: social laboratories on campus, engaged in all kinds of not

1275
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:32,640
Speaker 1: just social engineering, but also a kind of historical balancing.

1276
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,599
Speaker 1: You know which groups are the most discriminated against, which

1277
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: ones are not, and you know who's included based upon

1278
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: the diversity criteria that they're just making up as they

1279
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 1: go along. What is the criteria? Oh, you know, we

1280
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 1: know it when we see it. Oh, okay. In that case,

1281
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: the Trump Department of Justice is saying enough and Harvard University,

1282
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: that's right, they're going for the top. Everybody. Harvard University

1283
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: is now in the midst of a do O J

1284
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: probe over its affirmative action policies. Uh. This is what

1285
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal reported today. The Justice Department, whose

1286
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: Civil Rights division is conducting the investigation into similar allegations,

1287
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: said in a letter to Harvard's lawyers data November seventeen

1288
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: and reviewed by the journal, that the school was being

1289
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 1: investigated under Title six of the Civil Rights Act of

1290
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four, which bars discrimination on the basis of race, color,

1291
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 1: and national origin for organizations that receive federal funding. The

1292
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 1: letter also said the school had failed to comply with

1293
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: a November second deadline to provide documents related to the

1294
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: university's admissions policies and practices, and quote, let me tell

1295
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 1: you something. The reason that Harvard is not complying with

1296
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 1: these deadlines is that they are desperately hoping that there

1297
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,600
Speaker 1: will be some political pressure campaign from the Democrats, or

1298
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 1: they will be some media outrage that someone will come

1299
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:08,520
Speaker 1: to their rescue. Because I know about the admissions policies

1300
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 1: of these different schools, not just as an applicant to

1301
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:15,639
Speaker 1: various schools, but also because I have had close friends

1302
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: on the admissions committees of these schools. So I've been

1303
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: running sources so to speak, in college and university admissions

1304
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 1: for years. And for those of you listening, as you

1305
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 1: already know, this is an enormous issue when it comes

1306
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 1: to jobs and hiring in your future career prospects, because,

1307
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 1: especially with elite universities, that carry weight in a job

1308
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: interview that can be make or break. And so they

1309
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:49,639
Speaker 1: are doling out to favored groups what is a very

1310
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: valuable thing, and they are doing it on the basis

1311
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,600
Speaker 1: of skin color, They're doing it on the basis of

1312
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 1: ethnic origin. And they say that it's oh, it's so holistic.

1313
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: But oh, wait a second, what does that mean. Are

1314
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 1: there quotas at play? Because that would be a problem.

1315
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has said no quotas, and there's been

1316
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: all this gamesmanship with the liberals on the court. You

1317
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: have people like Justice Soda Mayor who used this as

1318
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,719
Speaker 1: one of the most important things that the US government

1319
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: could possibly protect. Have to be elevating certain minorities and

1320
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 1: not others. You see, this is the problem. The way

1321
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: that the Left has gotten away with discriminating on the

1322
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 1: basis of race has been that up to this point,

1323
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,600
Speaker 1: it has been exclusively about well White people have it

1324
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 1: really easy. White people have all these advantages. We're going

1325
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:49,440
Speaker 1: to help other people. We're gonna help non white applicants

1326
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:53,560
Speaker 1: to different schools. And keep in mind that initially affirmative

1327
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: action was about getting African Americans who had been legally

1328
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:03,600
Speaker 1: discriminated again for a very long time and we're enslaved

1329
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 1: in this country helping them, which I think you can

1330
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 1: make a powerful argument that there was a time when

1331
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: that was certainly necessary, meaning that was a good idea

1332
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: to do. You can make that argument. I I won't

1333
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: get into it now because there's a lot of complexity

1334
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: to it, but at least there's an argument for that.

1335
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: The way the schools operate now though there's a hierarchy,

1336
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the best thing you can be ask.

1337
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren is to be a Native American. You know,

1338
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:38,759
Speaker 1: that's why she went with the whole folk. A hunt

1339
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: is ruse because there's so few Native Americans trying to

1340
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: get into these schools and they're desperate to be able

1341
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: to literally check off that box sort of show. We

1342
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:51,600
Speaker 1: have two Native American students in this incoming freshman or

1343
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:57,599
Speaker 1: first year no more freshman microaggression, Buck micro aggression. Uh,

1344
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: but they're so desperate for that. People game the same

1345
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: done with this. But then you ask, cool, why do

1346
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 1: Latinos and Hispanics why are they given affirmative action preference?

1347
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 1: They were never enslaved in this country, There was no

1348
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:18,799
Speaker 1: legal discrimination against them. And there's no really good answer

1349
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 1: because you could say, well, buck their non white, and

1350
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,679
Speaker 1: there's white privilege. And I reject the notion of white

1351
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 1: privilege entirely. And that's maybe a whole separate hour of

1352
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: the show. I'll do some other day. As somebody who

1353
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: went to a scholarship Jesuit high school where everybody went

1354
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:37,560
Speaker 1: for free, and where my closest friends were first generation

1355
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: immigrant whose dad owned a grocery store out in Queens,

1356
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 1: whose parents spoke no English whatsoever, another kid who drove

1357
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: two hours or not drove, but traveled two hours each

1358
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: way because his father owned a struggling autobody shop and

1359
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 1: upstate New York. And another friend of mine who was

1360
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:58,919
Speaker 1: one of five being raised by a single a single

1361
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: mom who was a nurse. You know, there's all white

1362
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: privileged thing for them, wasn't There wasn't much of a privilege, right,

1363
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: They were working, their butts off, and then when it

1364
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 1: came time for admissions, they were told, well, you know,

1365
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 1: you're just not worth as much as an applicant with

1366
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: your numbers and your grades because it's been easy for

1367
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 1: you compared to other students who it's been harder based

1368
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 1: on their ethnicity, based on this social balancing that these

1369
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: schools engage in for the purposes of a firm of action.

1370
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: So that's been that, that's been what's going on for

1371
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 1: a long time. Sorry, white people, you have it easy.

1372
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: Non white people are going to get an advantage. Oh

1373
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: but wait a second, that's actually not what happens, and

1374
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: that's what's at the center of the d o J probe.

1375
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: Asian Americans are actually negatively discriminated against in schools and

1376
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: in the application process, which begs a question, why is

1377
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: there such a thing as Asian privilege? Asian American households,

1378
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 1: on average have more wealth than white or Caucasian households have.

1379
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: So how can you justify discriminating against Asian Americans on

1380
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 1: what basis? Does this? And the reality is that it's

1381
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:22,719
Speaker 1: just they are viewed as overrepresented in some of these schools,

1382
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,800
Speaker 1: and so what the Department of Justice is doing now

1383
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 1: is they're saying, Okay, hold on a second, you're gonna

1384
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: tell us it's a holistic it's a holistic system. But

1385
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: this quote holistic system is producing basically the same ethnic

1386
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 1: composition of class after class after class. This is just

1387
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: a stealth quota. You just won't call it a quota.

1388
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 1: And you hide Harvard, Yale, Stanford, the States school wherever

1389
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: you are most likely, although not in California, because California

1390
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:58,599
Speaker 1: got rid of racial preferences, and it wasn't the end

1391
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: of the world. In fact, there was a lot of

1392
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 1: benefits across the board as a result of California's decision, too,

1393
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: isn't an amazing as a state. California got rid of

1394
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: racial preferences. Now, what happened in California was that you

1395
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: had a surge in Asian applicants at the top. Not applicants, well, yes,

1396
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: applicants as well as accept ease has accepted students into

1397
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 1: the top state schools. And so now Berkeley, which is

1398
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: really the flagship of the California system, is about fort

1399
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: Asian American. But I can tell you from my own

1400
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:39,719
Speaker 1: experience here in New York City that the flagship public school,

1401
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:41,720
Speaker 1: which I applied to and I will have you know,

1402
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: I got into no help there from anybody, just buck,

1403
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: two pens, two pencils, and some test papers. And I

1404
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 1: remember being there as a as a young kid. I

1405
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 1: was in eighth grade and I showed up and there

1406
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 1: were thousands, thousands of students gathered at the school called

1407
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 1: Stuyvesant High School in New York City, and they were

1408
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: predominantly Asian. I'm just looking around and the makeup of

1409
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 1: the school because it is based strictly on test scores,

1410
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 1: nothing else know anything is seventy three percentation. So there

1411
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 1: is an overrepresentation in elite institutions of Asians, according to

1412
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: the social justice Left. So they will change the game.

1413
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 1: They will rig the system. And they've been doing this

1414
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 1: and they know they're doing it too. That's why Harvard

1415
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 1: doesn't want to share the data. It is harder to

1416
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: get into Harvard if you are a first generation Chinese, American, Filipino, American, Korean,

1417
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 1: American god I mean name in Asian country South Asia too,

1418
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 1: by the way, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh. It is harder to

1419
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 1: get into these schools than any other group, including white applicants.

1420
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 1: How can anyone justify that on on what basis are

1421
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 1: they making that distinct? And if that is not discrimination

1422
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: by race, what is if saying, sorry, Asian kid whose

1423
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: parents came here with nothing and decided to actually make

1424
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 1: something of themselves in this country, stay together as a family,

1425
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 1: run a successful small business, and now send you young

1426
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 1: Asian uh student of the future into Harvard or Stanford

1427
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 1: or Berkeley or uv A or wherever. Sorry, um, we

1428
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:32,280
Speaker 1: can't accept you. Will take somebody with lesser grades and

1429
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:35,639
Speaker 1: lesser scores because they're a different skin color than you are.

1430
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 1: And by the way, that that applies I guess to

1431
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 1: white applicants too, because white applicants are getting in. It's

1432
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: easier for white applicants to get in there it is Asians.

1433
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 1: So how is Harvard gonna fight this? And by the way,

1434
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: Harvard is just the tip of the ice. They're going

1435
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: after Harvard because it's gonna set a standard with all

1436
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: the rest. And I hope the DJ follows through on this,

1437
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 1: because once they have the data, that's it. Then then

1438
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: it's all up. Once people can see the way that

1439
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: they've been one taking the same amount of these of

1440
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 1: these different groups year and year out, we'll know that

1441
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 1: it's effectively a quota, it's a de facto quota system.

1442
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 1: And then the Left isn't gonna have any room to

1443
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 1: run with on this. It's gonna be diversity minus Asians,

1444
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:20,799
Speaker 1: our an Asians part. I mean, if diversity is about

1445
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:26,040
Speaker 1: ethnicity and background and you know, ethnic origin and all

1446
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 1: the other I don't even know necessarily what diversity is.

1447
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: I know it's not of ideas. They reject that on campus.

1448
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: But if diversity is about all that, isn't a isn't

1449
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:38,520
Speaker 1: a student from Southeast Asia who you know, comes from

1450
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 1: who's a among Highlander for example, or a student who

1451
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 1: comes from Indonesia or the Philippines or or South Korea,

1452
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: aren't they Isn't that diversity? So why is it a

1453
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 1: negative for them? Oh? Because there are too many in Asia.

1454
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean, think about the mentality here these schools. These

1455
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 1: schools are actively discriminating against Asian students, which means if

1456
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 1: you come from that enormous part of the world, they're

1457
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: treating me like you're kind of the same. I mean,

1458
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 1: your Korean, your tie, whatever, right, I mean, that's their approach.

1459
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 1: It's astonishing and Harvard and means they if the information

1460
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 1: comes out they cannot win this argument, and this is

1461
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 1: the beginning. I think this is the crack in the

1462
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 1: dam of the whole diversity cult because it falls into

1463
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 1: self contradiction. It is nonsense. It is a spoils system

1464
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 1: that the Left has set up for favored identity groups,

1465
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:43,640
Speaker 1: identity politics groups. That is what diversity is. It's we

1466
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 1: will do a lot of victimology and a lot of

1467
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 1: oh woe is me for whatever the group is, and

1468
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: then we will leave it to these institutions to make

1469
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,639
Speaker 1: it right by determining that there's no such thing as

1470
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: merit in getting into these academic institutions. It's just what

1471
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 1: where they say it is. Uh. This this is a

1472
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:07,479
Speaker 1: very important case because I should note this will have

1473
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 1: implications for hiring, This will have implications in the corporate world.

1474
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 1: It's not discrimination. Law is very clear you cannot discriminate

1475
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 1: on the basis of race, and we have been doing

1476
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 1: that in this country for a long time, and they've

1477
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 1: been able to get away with because of politics, not

1478
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 1: because of an honest interpretation of the law. Well, guess

1479
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 1: what it looks like that may stop. To borrow from

1480
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 1: I believe Justice Alito, the best way to stop discriminating

1481
01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 1: by race is to stop discriminating by race. Asian Americans

1482
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 1: have had enough. There are these Asian American groups that

1483
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 1: are bringing suit that are saying this is nonsense, this

1484
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: is this is bull They're right, and the right Conservatism

1485
01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:54,720
Speaker 1: should be with them on this wholeheartedly and making the

1486
01:28:54,720 --> 01:29:00,559
Speaker 1: case because this divides us. It's unfair, it's nonsense. And

1487
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 1: also these schools, they're just also smug. They're lying, They're

1488
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: just lying. But how it's a holistic admission system ever? Please,

1489
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: they have in their head what's a fair amount of

1490
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 1: all these different groups to take, and they're gonna take

1491
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: them based upon that, And it's a terrible way to

1492
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 1: treat young men and young women who are trying to

1493
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 1: get an education, make something of themselves and go forward

1494
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 1: in the world and want to be rewarded for their

1495
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 1: hard work based as individuals, not based on what a

1496
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:33,040
Speaker 1: bunch of overpaid college bureaucrats think is fair. And they

1497
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 1: all say, oh, we're private institutions. Ah, without that federal money,

1498
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 1: a lot of these places are toast, and without federal

1499
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:44,120
Speaker 1: dollars backing up the student loans, they are really toast.

1500
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,160
Speaker 1: So that game isn't gonna work either. So we're gonna

1501
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: follow us one closely. It's very important. We're back with

1502
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:54,720
Speaker 1: an update on Mugabe. Stay with me. You know. I

1503
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 1: just finished I just finished reading hill Billy Elegy Reason,

1504
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, which is a book that I can recommend

1505
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:07,160
Speaker 1: to you. I think it's it's well written, it's well

1506
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:12,559
Speaker 1: it's well executed, and it is an incident or an

1507
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,559
Speaker 1: instance of somebody who is, you know, being very open

1508
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 1: and honest about his background and about his uh you know,

1509
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 1: about his life and the trials and tribulations of his family.

1510
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 1: The guy j D. I think his name is Jade Vance.

1511
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 1: He went to or he grew up in Kentucky and

1512
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:33,280
Speaker 1: then moved to Ohio or lived in Kentucky. Born in Kentucky,

1513
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 1: family from there moved to Ohio. He's about my age,

1514
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:44,519
Speaker 1: and some of the idiosyncrasies of his Kentucky family remind

1515
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 1: me of some of the idiosyncrasies of and that's an

1516
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:51,879
Speaker 1: interesting word to use for it of my Virginia based

1517
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 1: the Virginia based contingent of my family, including a a

1518
01:30:56,720 --> 01:31:03,760
Speaker 1: particular fondness for well firearms, and a whole bunch of

1519
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 1: other stuff too. So I was I was listening to

1520
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 1: not listening. I was reading the book, and I was thinking,

1521
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 1: oh wow. Uh. And and he had he had a

1522
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:16,360
Speaker 1: grandma who had a assault a salty mouth, just like

1523
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:18,920
Speaker 1: my grandma from the South had a had a salty

1524
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:23,560
Speaker 1: mouth and and would take no take no crap from anybody.

1525
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,600
Speaker 1: But it was it was a good Uh. It was

1526
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 1: a good book for what it was, and I would

1527
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:31,800
Speaker 1: recommend it to you. And one thing that I took

1528
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 1: away from it was that the more that somebody can understood,

1529
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 1: the earlier someone learns. Well, there's a lot from this book, right,

1530
01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 1: And it's a good book. It's been out for a while.

1531
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 1: I got a lot of it's got a lot of press,

1532
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:48,599
Speaker 1: a lot of play um. But the younger that somebody

1533
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 1: feels like they have someone who supports them doesn't have

1534
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 1: to be a parent. It can be a grandparent or

1535
01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 1: you know, a guardian or a sibling, but that that

1536
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:04,599
Speaker 1: is such a critical component of somebody's success in life.

1537
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:10,800
Speaker 1: And not just support, but unconditional, always there for you support. Uh.

1538
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 1: And I think when I think about what has been

1539
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:15,840
Speaker 1: the biggest asset in my life, the thing that has

1540
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 1: gone the most my way, it's that I have a family,

1541
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,559
Speaker 1: a mom and dad, and and brothers and a sister

1542
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 1: who you know, we're a team, we're a unit. And

1543
01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:27,600
Speaker 1: I've had that support from a very young age. And

1544
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 1: I've had more than my fair share of lumps and

1545
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:35,320
Speaker 1: setbacks and disappointments and everything else. But having somebody who

1546
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 1: invests in you, and preferably having a few people, having

1547
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:43,560
Speaker 1: a family that you know invests in you and unconditionally

1548
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 1: loves and supports you. That's people talk about social science

1549
01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:51,639
Speaker 1: and how to deal with so many of the different

1550
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 1: problems confronting this country right now in the opioid epidemic,

1551
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 1: and I think you can draw a lot of a

1552
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:05,439
Speaker 1: lot of lines to early stage, early stage development and

1553
01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:09,400
Speaker 1: people's childhoods and the way that they were supported or

1554
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:13,040
Speaker 1: not by family or by a love the one I

1555
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 1: think that's that's really the that's the one thing that

1556
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 1: none of us can can get by without. You need

1557
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:25,320
Speaker 1: somebody who's on or you. You need it. You need

1558
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:27,439
Speaker 1: a team, You need a family that is there for you.

1559
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,480
Speaker 1: And either can be your adopted parents, could be a guardian,

1560
01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:33,479
Speaker 1: could be a sibling that that is just always there

1561
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:36,600
Speaker 1: for you, takes care of you. But that was the

1562
01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 1: one thing I took away from that book. So anyway,

1563
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: Hill Billy Elogy, I would recommend it to you. It's

1564
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:45,920
Speaker 1: it's well written and interesting stuff. Some people I I've

1565
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 1: I spoke to a friend from Kentucky recently. She's like,

1566
01:33:48,120 --> 01:33:50,679
Speaker 1: it's a caricature. It's kind of unfair. But the guy

1567
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:52,680
Speaker 1: doesn't say it's everybody. He's just saying, look, this was

1568
01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 1: my experience, and I think it's very heartfelt what he

1569
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:59,040
Speaker 1: writes at least. So anyway, interesting book and just want

1570
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:00,680
Speaker 1: to share that with you. We'll come back here in

1571
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:17,000
Speaker 1: just a few Stay with me. Mugabe is out everybody.

1572
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:20,439
Speaker 1: One of the worst tyrants in the world, one of

1573
01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:24,200
Speaker 1: the worst heads of state and among the longest serving

1574
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:30,920
Speaker 1: at thirty seven years almost four decades. This school teacher

1575
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:37,560
Speaker 1: turned despot Robert Mugabe uh crushed the people of Zimbabwe,

1576
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:41,240
Speaker 1: destroyed the country's economy, as I've said, really erased it

1577
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:44,560
Speaker 1: more than anything else. It almost ceased to have an economy,

1578
01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 1: certainly by global standards. It did cease to have a currency.

1579
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 1: Think about that. It has the record for the highest

1580
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:57,360
Speaker 1: inflation of all time. It was putting out a hundred

1581
01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 1: billion dollar notes. Zimbabwe dollar notes. At one point it

1582
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:06,160
Speaker 1: was among the worst ruled, the worst governed places on

1583
01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 1: planet Earth. And finally today the people of Zimbabwe are jubilant,

1584
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:16,760
Speaker 1: as they will should be now. I know Zimbabwe is

1585
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:20,679
Speaker 1: on you know, the the other side of the globe,

1586
01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 1: and it's far away, and because of its incredible mismanagement

1587
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:29,680
Speaker 1: and the the suffering and the tyranny that has been

1588
01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:32,479
Speaker 1: inflicted on the people there, it's not a player in

1589
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 1: global politics or anything. So this isn't like when I

1590
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:39,320
Speaker 1: talk to you about Russia, China, the Middle East areas

1591
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 1: that have an immediate impact on the US. But I

1592
01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 1: think for our purposes as a show that talks a

1593
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:48,679
Speaker 1: lot about freedom, and in fact, I view my goal

1594
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:51,720
Speaker 1: here as much to be educating about freedom as it

1595
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 1: is freedom spreading. I think we've got to celebrate this.

1596
01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:58,519
Speaker 1: I think we should all be quite pleased and take

1597
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:02,120
Speaker 1: a moment to uh say a prayer and to send

1598
01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:04,080
Speaker 1: a Hi fi from far away to the people of

1599
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 1: Zimbabwe who now finally have a chance. Now, I'm not

1600
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:11,639
Speaker 1: sure the government's gonna be much better, and I don't

1601
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:13,519
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. I know it really can't

1602
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 1: be worse, but this is also a story that Americans

1603
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:22,960
Speaker 1: that the whole world should really know. We should remember

1604
01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:26,439
Speaker 1: the tyrants, and we should celebrate their fall. We should

1605
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:30,639
Speaker 1: remember them because the same ploise and the same lies.

1606
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 1: Whether it's status in Sub Saharan Africa who use collectivist

1607
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 1: rhetoric and whipping up the emotions of a crowd in

1608
01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:46,120
Speaker 1: order to impose their iron fist on the people, or

1609
01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 1: statuss here or in Europe, people who say that the

1610
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 1: government should be in control of all things and all

1611
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:54,439
Speaker 1: aspects of your life. The government can do a better

1612
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:57,360
Speaker 1: job running the economy than you can. The government can

1613
01:36:57,400 --> 01:37:00,720
Speaker 1: do a better job making determinations about your day to

1614
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:04,120
Speaker 1: day life. In fact, they will just take that authority

1615
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:07,960
Speaker 1: away from you. They'll take it out of your hands,

1616
01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:12,720
Speaker 1: thank you very much. That's the way that they approach it. Tyranny,

1617
01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:16,400
Speaker 1: while it has different flavors all over the world, has

1618
01:37:16,479 --> 01:37:22,640
Speaker 1: the same basic recipe, the eradication of individual rights and

1619
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:27,559
Speaker 1: the subservience of the individual to the collective. The collective

1620
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:32,280
Speaker 1: as defined by people will say, by either a a

1621
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: group or an individual, depends on whether we're talking about

1622
01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:40,680
Speaker 1: a revolutionary communist regime, for example, or an autocracy, but

1623
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 1: as somebody who has spent quite a bit of time

1624
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:48,280
Speaker 1: reading about autocracies, that is an intellectual fascination of mine.

1625
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 1: I can tell you that autocrats always have an inner

1626
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 1: circle that is essential for their rule. Doesn't matter how

1627
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:59,840
Speaker 1: iron fisted, it doesn't matter how top down the gu

1628
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:06,120
Speaker 1: vernance is. They need intelligence chiefs and military officers, they

1629
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:09,800
Speaker 1: need generals and and sometimes even business people to be

1630
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:13,360
Speaker 1: going along with them in this whole process. So it's

1631
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 1: always a cabal. There may be one at the top

1632
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:19,559
Speaker 1: of the pyramid, but it's a pyramid that has other

1633
01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 1: individuals who are a part of it as well, a

1634
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:26,800
Speaker 1: pyramid of oppression. And here in Zimbabwe we see the

1635
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 1: end of Mugabe's rule. People were cheering in the streets. There,

1636
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:36,280
Speaker 1: people crying, and the quotes have been going read it.

1637
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:39,559
Speaker 1: I mean, it's whether we're talking about those who have

1638
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:43,000
Speaker 1: come to America to escape Cuban tyranny, those who have

1639
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 1: come to America to escape tyranny in the former Soviet Union,

1640
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:50,280
Speaker 1: in Eastern Europe. It's an important reminder for all of

1641
01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:54,080
Speaker 1: us that human freedom is a fragile thing and needs

1642
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:58,240
Speaker 1: to be defended. We have to maintain vigilance and no

1643
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 1: matter who you are, no matter where you are in

1644
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:03,759
Speaker 1: the world, whether it's here at home in America, in Europe,

1645
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 1: or in Southern Africa or in the Far East. Human

1646
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,680
Speaker 1: freedom is a beautiful thing and I hope that the

1647
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 1: people of Zimbabwe are able to get there first real

1648
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:21,679
Speaker 1: taste of it now after one of the worst dictators

1649
01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:25,800
Speaker 1: of the last fifty years is finally shown the door.

1650
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:29,559
Speaker 1: So a good news story for all of you listening.

1651
01:39:30,240 --> 01:39:32,800
Speaker 1: We'll get into some Team Buck speaks coming up here

1652
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:35,679
Speaker 1: in just a few Stay with me, man, I only

1653
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:39,200
Speaker 1: have one more show with you guys before the Thanksgiving holiday.

1654
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:41,759
Speaker 1: It's kind of a bummer. I mean, Thanksgiving will be great.

1655
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:47,000
Speaker 1: I am making Brussels sprouts that have panchetta. I may

1656
01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 1: even do a balsamic reduction, because that's right Buck brussel hard.

1657
01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:57,040
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, I will miss all of you, although I'll

1658
01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:59,160
Speaker 1: be in tomorrow. So we'll have another live show tomorrow

1659
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:01,960
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving show. Hoping you take lots of calls. Then we'll

1660
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:03,679

01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:21,439
Speaker 1: security contractor world. I did four tours three in a

Speaker 1: history deep dive the Battle of boulou Wood. Uh Well.

1737
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 1: First of all, Ryan, thank you for your service and

1738
01:44:38,760 --> 01:44:41,439
Speaker 1: and again you've made this is another phenomenal email. You

1739
01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 1: and Mark have completely made my day. There is nothing

1740
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:48,120
Speaker 1: I take more pride in in the show that I do,

1741
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:50,400
Speaker 1: the research that I put into it, and the effort

1742
01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:52,439
Speaker 1: that goes into this show day in and day out,

1743
01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:54,960
Speaker 1: which look it's it's I'll tell you all, it's harder

1744
01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:57,759
Speaker 1: than anything else in media. During a three hour solo

1745
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 1: radio show in terms of energy in terms of upfront research. Uh,

1746
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:06,719
Speaker 1: it's it's different. Yeah, writing requires a lot of research too,

1747
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 1: but writing is on your own schedule, and it's not

1748
01:45:09,320 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 1: performance based, it's not timed, it's not live. So this

1749
01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:17,000
Speaker 1: is quite an endeavor. But I love it. And when

1750
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:19,800
Speaker 1: I hear from all of you, any of you listening

1751
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:22,680
Speaker 1: to the show, but especially those of you who are downrange,

1752
01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:26,960
Speaker 1: and that this show has meaning to you, and that

1753
01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:29,880
Speaker 1: it is something that keeps you informed and that you

1754
01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:32,639
Speaker 1: appreciate what I'm doing here in the Hut every day.

1755
01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 1: There there is no greater honor, honestly, and it is

1756
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:39,360
Speaker 1: a source of tremendous pride for me. And on days

1757
01:45:39,400 --> 01:45:43,400
Speaker 1: when I have had to come in and do this show, Gosh,

1758
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:48,200
Speaker 1: I've done this show after tough days in my personal life.

1759
01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:51,800
Speaker 1: I've had to do the show after a couple of nasty,

1760
01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:56,160
Speaker 1: nasty breakups over the last five years or so. One

1761
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:59,680
Speaker 1: in particular, I have done this show when I was

1762
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:02,280
Speaker 1: so sick that I wasn't even sure I could get

1763
01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:05,800
Speaker 1: out of bed um. And you know, I'm look, I'm

1764
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:07,880
Speaker 1: not trying to complain about it. I'm just saying that

1765
01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:11,000
Speaker 1: I always am honored to come in here and do

1766
01:46:11,080 --> 01:46:14,880
Speaker 1: the show. And it's because it means a lot to me,

1767
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:16,920
Speaker 1: that it means something to all of you out there,

1768
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:20,280
Speaker 1: and that there are folks down range, men and women

1769
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 1: who are serving contractors, military, State Department, any of the above,

1770
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:29,960
Speaker 1: your emails guys. It's just it means it really means

1771
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:31,519
Speaker 1: the world to me. I'm I'm a little bit of

1772
01:46:31,520 --> 01:46:34,040
Speaker 1: a loss for word, So thank you so much. Ryan.

1773
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,960
Speaker 1: Please do spread the word to all your guys out there.

1774
01:46:37,240 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 1: Tell them that I'm honored, Tell them that I thank

1775
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,639
Speaker 1: them for their service, and I will do the best

1776
01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:44,000
Speaker 1: darned show that I can so I keep them as

1777
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 1: informed entertained as I can. All right, Uh, Daniel writes

1778
01:46:48,360 --> 01:46:52,120
Speaker 1: in Mr Sexton, thank you for your consistently great, thoughtful,

1779
01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:56,639
Speaker 1: and insightful show. I do enjoy your digressions into history, dogs,

1780
01:46:56,680 --> 01:47:00,040
Speaker 1: and other topics beyond the political. Shortly after discover in

1781
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:03,960
Speaker 1: your radio show locally this summer broadcast via k q

1782
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:07,160
Speaker 1: N T five nine a M, I had the first

1783
01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:11,680
Speaker 1: ever opportunity to participate in a week long Nielsen radio survey.

1784
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,880
Speaker 1: I was especially pleased to be able to document that

1785
01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:16,439
Speaker 1: I was an audience member of your show in its

1786
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:19,240
Speaker 1: entirety for the time period of the survey, as I

1787
01:47:19,439 --> 01:47:22,000
Speaker 1: do not do Facebook or Twitter and thus cannot demonstrate

1788
01:47:22,040 --> 01:47:24,400
Speaker 1: support for those vehicles. Thank you for your work and

1789
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 1: shields high Daniel. Well, Daniel, thank you because anybody out

1790
01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:31,800
Speaker 1: there who is a Nielsen survey person on radio, uh,

1791
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:34,800
Speaker 1: you're able to really help a lot. Because if you're

1792
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 1: listening to my show a lot and you can show

1793
01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:40,800
Speaker 1: that via the Nielsen ratings, that matters. It matters in

1794
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 1: this radio industry tremendously, and it helps keep things going

1795
01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:47,680
Speaker 1: here because, uh, this is a business and advertisers want

1796
01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 1: to know how big the audience is. That's also why

1797
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 1: those of you who listen to the podcast, we see

1798
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:55,720
Speaker 1: those numbers every month. We have hundreds of thousands. I mean,

1799
01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:58,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna be getting up to a million soon of

1800
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 1: downloads on a month the basis of this show. So

1801
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:04,880
Speaker 1: that means a lot too. So don't think that if

1802
01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 1: you listen on delay or you're a podcast listener, you're

1803
01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:10,559
Speaker 1: not pitching in and helping out, because you absolutely are.

1804
01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:13,439
Speaker 1: But thank you Daniel for helping out on Nielsen. That

1805
01:48:13,560 --> 01:48:18,400
Speaker 1: is particularly particularly helpful. Um all right, Amy writes in

1806
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 1: Hey Buck, you wanted to know who has chow chow's.

1807
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart has a pile of them, like Queen Elizabeth

1808
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:29,599
Speaker 1: and her Corgies, except fluffier. I almost got bitten by

1809
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:32,280
Speaker 1: a chow chow once I sat on some steps with

1810
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:35,599
Speaker 1: my back too near its food dish. The owner luckily

1811
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 1: rescued me before it chow chow on me. Get a

1812
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:44,320
Speaker 1: soft coated wheat and terrier. They're entertaining, very cuddly and

1813
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 1: have hair and are a medium to large sized dog.

1814
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 1: No firm might help because it makes them more hypoallergenic.

1815
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:53,800
Speaker 1: If that doesn't work, allergy shots for Molly. I'm three

1816
01:48:53,840 --> 01:48:57,800
Speaker 1: years into mine. It takes dedication, but it's totally worth it. Amy, Well, Amy,

1817
01:48:57,840 --> 01:48:59,759
Speaker 1: thank you first of all for your funny story about

1818
01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:03,160
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart and the chow chows. She has a reputation

1819
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:07,240
Speaker 1: for not being very nice, so the fact that she

1820
01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 1: would have chow chows, which are basically fluffy attack dogs.

1821
01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:14,960
Speaker 1: They're like Rottweilers with big fur coats, and I know

1822
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:19,280
Speaker 1: Roddy's can be nice. But anyway, thank you for your

1823
01:49:19,360 --> 01:49:22,479
Speaker 1: notes about chow chows. I do appreciate it. And here

1824
01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:25,720
Speaker 1: we go. Next up on the list, docs Oh not

1825
01:49:26,120 --> 01:49:28,759
Speaker 1: it's not an email from a docks and Daniel writes,

1826
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:32,599
Speaker 1: docksins are indeed a waste of good oxygen. I grew

1827
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:35,400
Speaker 1: up in a similar situation to Scott's story you read

1828
01:49:35,439 --> 01:49:39,800
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Neighbors had two carpet sharks that would bark NonStop.

1829
01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:42,599
Speaker 1: We had a sweet old Rottweiler here you go, who

1830
01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:45,240
Speaker 1: just ignored them. I spent five years as a cop

1831
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:46,799
Speaker 1: and had to deal with a lot of pit bulls.

1832
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 1: As a rule, they were sweet, and I wish I

1833
01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:52,240
Speaker 1: could have adopted several, But the only dog that ever

1834
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:55,120
Speaker 1: bit me was a docks and evil little dogs. I

1835
01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:58,240
Speaker 1: told you, guys, they're carpet sharks. It's true love. The

1836
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:01,879
Speaker 1: history deep Dives. It's the nicest from politics. I'd recommend

1837
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:05,120
Speaker 1: Dan Carlin's hardcore history a deep Dive. Request for more

1838
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:08,320

1841
01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:18,320
Speaker 1: Carlin does great stuff. I listened to some of his

1842
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:23,160
Speaker 1: podcast years ago, so um, yeah, I'm planning more deep dives.

1843
01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:25,400
Speaker 1: They're coming, guys. The Deep Dives are coming. I mean

1844
01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:29,160
Speaker 1: it is now. The bosses expect them at premier, So

1845
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 1: it's happening. The history deep dives are happening that I'm

1846
01:50:32,479 --> 01:50:35,439
Speaker 1: in process right now for setting up a schedule for them.

1847
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:38,040
Speaker 1: They're going to be separate from the show, and it's

1848
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:39,759
Speaker 1: just gonna be up to all of you to download

1849
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:41,960
Speaker 1: them and also to spread them to friends. People who

1850
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:44,720
Speaker 1: don't like politics, they'll like these deep dives. I hope.

1851
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:47,439
Speaker 1: If they care about history and storytelling, they should like

1852
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 1: the Cross Versus Crescent series. Bill J writes in Buck

1853
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:56,360
Speaker 1: instead of a pure breed, a mixed breed from a

1854
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:59,240
Speaker 1: rescue shelter makes for a healthy and happy pooch. We

1855
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:03,200
Speaker 1: have three and they are the best. Happy Thanksgiving from

1856
01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 1: from Bill and from Mississippi. Well Bill, Happy Thanksgiving to you.

1857
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:10,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, mixed breeds are great. Ms Molly her family

1858
01:51:10,240 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 1: has a mixed pitbull boxer and she and she loves,

1859
01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:19,240
Speaker 1: she loves that dog. So trust me, I am very

1860
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:22,599
