This time 11 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: we're doing it out of sunny, sunny California. We're in 12 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: We're in North LA. I don't even know La very well. 13 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: Somebody's going to tell me, no, you're not in North LA. 14 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: I think I'm in North LA. And that's all that matters. 15 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: I identify as being in North LA. Okay, We've got 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: a great show for you today. So much going on 17 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: in the world, not least the President assailing China yet again. 18 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: This trade war talk is all kicking off the establishment 19 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: obviously in a panic. Mister President, you can't have tariffs. 20 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: We don't like tariffs. The end of history dictated, we 21 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: don't do tariffs anymore. But sure enough, the American economy 22 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: is still roaring while these tariffs take hold and force 23 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: China to the negotiating table, force China to rethink the 24 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: decades and decades of destruction that they've been doing to 25 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: the American manufacturing base, jobs, to the opioid crisis that 26 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: has developed as a result of a lot of it, 27 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: to what they're doing down in Latin America and Central America. Also, 28 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: we're going to talk in about twenty minutes. You're not 29 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: going to want to go anywhere to talk with my 30 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: old boss, Stephen K. Bannon about about the trade war. 31 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: But there's more going on to things that we all 32 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: need to be aware of. This Equality Act that the 33 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to push through Congress. We're going to 34 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: be talking to the Concerned Women for America. Share Garrison 35 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: will be joining us momentarily, and across the show, we've 36 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: got Mike Morrison. You might not know Mike Morrison, but 37 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: Mike Morrison's a good friend of mine. He used to 38 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: run the Alexandria Accassio Cortez parody account on Twitter and 39 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: it was recently taken away from him. I think because 40 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: it was too close to the truth if you're asking me, 41 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: but Twitter and making other excuses for their more banning 42 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: of conservative voices. Later we're on in the program, we're 43 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: going to bring in good buddy of mine, Matt Peterson 44 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: from the Claremont Institute. They just had Secretary of State 45 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo at their fortieth anniversary gala down here in 46 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. That's what I was in town four and 47 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, I just decided to hang on out afterwards. 48 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: And Chris Hull as well, great expert on all things 49 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: foreign affairs, good friend of mine, and he'll be talking 50 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: about talking to us about China too. Dave ray Boy, 51 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: also a Claremont fellow like myself. I guess you're beginning 52 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: to hear a pattern here. When Rheine Guess hosts a show, 53 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: it's Rain's buddies who come on. But I happen to 54 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: believe that my buddies. I have the best buddies, all right. 55 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: I have the smartest people with the best words. Dave 56 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: d Boy will be coming on the show in the 57 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: last hour as well. Dave is Dave is primarily a 58 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: foreign policy guy has done amazing work, especially on recently 59 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: the Kashoggie affair. But Dave actually was in a supermarket 60 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: yesterday down in West Palm Beach and took a picture 61 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: with a box of chips Ahoy. You know these cardboardy 62 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: cookies that you guys have, well, chips Ahoy and their 63 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: PR people didn't like it so much, And that's because 64 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: Dave was making fun of their latest advertising campaign, which 65 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: featured a transgendered person telling you to buy your mother 66 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: chips Ahoy cookies for Mother's Day. I think that's the 67 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: gist of it in general. Anywhere can I hear from 68 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: Dave later on in the program. But I wanted to 69 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: start off with this today because those of you who 70 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: will remember the last time I guest hosted this show, 71 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: and I'm very honored and privileged. Whenever Bunk asked me 72 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: to do it, I went off on a little bit 73 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: of an unplanned tear in the opening monologue section about 74 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: the antisemitism that's rife within the Democrat Party. And little 75 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: did I know at the time, I mean nothing, did 76 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: I know at the time what would ensue. Just about 77 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: ten days later, the representative for Michigan one of the 78 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: representatives for Michigan, Congresswoman Rashida to Leab this weekend, was 79 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: heard to us a the following words in a podcast 80 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: for Yahoo News called The Skullduggery Podcast. I want to 81 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: play the clip, mister producer of the of what Rashida 82 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: to Labe told the Skullduggery Podcast. I think it's I 83 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: think it's clip one. Yep, we got it. There's you know, 84 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: there's a kind of a calming feeling. I always tell 85 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: folks when I think of the Holocaust and the tragedy 86 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: of a Holocaust, in the fact that it was my ancestors, 87 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: Palestinians who lost their land and some lost their lives. 88 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: All of it was in the name of trying to 89 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: create a safe haven for Jews. When I think about 90 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: a one state, I think about the fact that why 91 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: couldn't we do it in a better way. I've never 92 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: done this before on the radio, but I actually like 93 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: to play the first part of that clip again. Mister 94 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: produces just played that, really the beginning, which says there's 95 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: a calming feeling. I always tell folks when I think 96 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: of the Holocaust, I want I want you guys to 97 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: hear what kind of a sociopath it takes to say 98 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: those things. Let's let's just to hear that again. There's 99 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, there's a kind of a calming feeling now. 100 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: Is tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust, and 101 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: it's extraordinary, there's kind of a calming feeling. I always 102 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: tell folks when I think of the Holocaust. Now. I 103 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: don't know about you guys out there, but I certainly 104 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: hope I do. I don't think anybody gets a calming 105 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: feeling when they think of this systematic slaughter of six 106 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: million Jews, of six million anyone's right. I don't think 107 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: anybody could sit back and say, well, let's just listen 108 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: to the broader context of what Congresswoman Tillbe was saying. 109 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: Because she was given the opportunity to establish some broader 110 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: context on the seth Mayer's show last night. Let's make 111 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: clip fifteen. I think it is, mister Busha, let's hear 112 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: the context that Congresswoman Tillab wanted to wanted to establish 113 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: around this comic. I feel like there's a way to 114 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: talk about the history of that part of the world 115 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: that people hear in this country maybe don't fully understand it. 116 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: Could could grasp it more absolutely. I mean, I think 117 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: for me, I grew up in the most beautiful black 118 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: of city in the world in the country, which a 119 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: city of Detroit, and every corner is a reminder of 120 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: the civil rights movement. And I through my African American teachers, 121 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: through my you know, I call my black mothers on 122 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: on the black I grew up in, they you know, 123 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: constantly told me about the pain of oppression. They taught 124 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: me about the history of segregation and feeling less than 125 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: and dehumanized because they were black in America, and a 126 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: lot of that that lends that I bring to this issue, 127 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: and that's how I talk about it, the fact that 128 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, we are dehumanizing a whole community to uplift 129 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: other others. But I don't think that's truly going to 130 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: keep anybody safe. It's truly not going to lead to 131 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: peace and equality and justice. And you have to when 132 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: you look at this issue, come from a place of values. 133 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: You know, people want to go ahead and jump and 134 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: choose sides. No, come from a place of values, because 135 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: by the end, you will choose the right side of 136 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: history when you do that. I just I don't I 137 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: don't get it if you listen very closely to what 138 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: she's saying that I mean, I guess I do get 139 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: it right. This is somebody who effectively hates Jews. I 140 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: said it. I said it. Put me up against the 141 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: wall and Jew she probably would. This is somebody who 142 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: clearly hates Jews, because to say that one people are 143 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: being lifted up, are either Jews after the Holocaust were 144 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: being lifted up by the establishment of the State of 145 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: Israel at a cost to the other. And then she 146 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: goes on to say, I don't think that can create 147 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: a long lasting piece. Well by saying that, what you're 148 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: doing is you're dealgitimizing the State of Israel. You're dealogitimizing 149 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: it's founding. You're deallygitimizing what it's there for. You're dealing 150 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: is justimizing its historical claim to that land, it's biblical 151 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: claim to that land. You're dealogitimizing the whole lot of it. So, 152 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: in going on television and saying the stuff again, she 153 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: hasn't dug herself out of the hole. She's dug herself 154 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: even further. You don't want to stay with me on 155 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: this because I'm going to bang on about this throughout 156 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: the course of this show. I think it's absolutely reprehensible. 157 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: And what's also reprehensible is the attitude that the mainstream 158 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: media have adopted towards this. Instead of going after her 159 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: and saying, hold on a minute, we have a literal 160 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: anti semit We have somebody who denigrates the Holocaust in 161 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: position of massive power in the United States Congress. What 162 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: are the headlines that we're seeing Republicans pounce on Talabe's comments. 163 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: Republicans anger, Republican fury. Everyone should be furious about this. 164 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm not one to scream and shout, I really am not, 165 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: but I am absolutely flabbergasted that the moral depravity that 166 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: has taken root inside the confines of your Congress. Five 167 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: percent of the entire new intake of Democratic Party expressing 168 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: views like this one state solution, views which effectively means 169 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: an end to Israel, and the media operatives and the 170 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: talking heads and the written word journalists scurrying like cockroaches 171 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: to defend Rashida Talabe for the his comments. For me, 172 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: is absolutely unacceptable. This is the Buck Sexton Show. I'm 173 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: Rahem Casalm. You're not gonna want to go anywhere.

Today. We opened with my little rant about 180 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: Congresswoman Rashida to lab and I hope we have the 181 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: time to get to more of that over the course 182 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: of the show. If you want to have your say, 183 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, the phone lines are open.

That's 185 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: eight four four nine zero zero two eight two five. 186 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring on a special guest now, doctor Shayer Garrison, 187 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: from the Concerned Women for Erica. Doctor Garrison, thank you 188 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: so much for joining us here on the Buck Sexton Show. 189 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: Hi Rohy, and thank you for having me now. Absolutely 190 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: our pleasure because there's this Equality Act bill that is 191 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: being put before Congress, and I'm not sure that the 192 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: world quite understands the implications of it, and we're very 193 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: grateful for you joining us to talk about this. If 194 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: I were a moron and some people say I am, 195 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: what do I need to know from the outset, Doctor Garrison, 196 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: about this bill, the implications, and what are the chances 197 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: of it passing. Well, it's basically immense. The Civil Rights 198 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: Act of nineteen sixty four and every places the word 199 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: sex as a non discriminated category with the term sex, 200 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: sexual orientation, and gender identity. So what that means is 201 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: that gender identity now becomes among the protected categories of discrimination, which, 202 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: on the face of things sounds good, but you have 203 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: to understand that the word sex will no longer be 204 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: understood as biologically male and female in civil rights law, 205 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: and so all federally funded entities will be forced to 206 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: interpret sex as multiple and fluid gender identities. So it 207 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what your birth was a excuse me, your 208 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: sex was at birth. And here's sort of the clincher. 209 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: There are no medical or legal conditions required or processes 210 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: required to prove that you have moved from one sex 211 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: to the other. But it is up to your own 212 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: self identification and there's no limitations on it. So how's 213 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: that for a nutshell summary That is deeply disturbing nutshell summary, 214 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: Doctor Garrison. Your colleague Drne Denny has written an article 215 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: about this which is up right now is the lead 216 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: story on human events dot com, and we're very grateful 217 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: for that because there are so many real world implications 218 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: for this. I as you can probably tell, or I 219 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: suppose you're not really supposed to say that anymore, but 220 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: I was going to say, you could probably tell by 221 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: the sound of my voice that I'm a man. This 222 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: means that effectively, right, Thank you. I'm glad you didn't 223 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: say no, that that would have been embarrassing. The implications 224 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: for this are that I can walk into if this passes, 225 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: I can just walk in to a women's change your 226 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: room say I identify as a woman. I don't have 227 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: to show anything. There's no medical records, no psychological thing, 228 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: nothing at all that I have to do to prove that. 229 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: I can just go into your gym and walk into 230 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: your changing rooms. That right, That is absolutely right, And 231 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: that is not just theoretical. Because of some gender identity 232 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: policies that have been put in state law, local law, 233 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: different organizations laws. It is actually happening already. Can I 234 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: give you a quick example of that, please, Evergreen's State College, 235 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: Washington State twenty and twelve, there was a man there, 236 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: forty five year old student at this college who identifies 237 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: as a woman but still has male genitalia using the 238 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: women's locker room, and high school students were also allowed 239 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: to use these facilities. So some teenage girls practicing for 240 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: the high school swim team saw this man and there 241 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: completely naked again, remember still with male genitalia. Their coach 242 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: asked him to leave. He didn't have to leave. Bottom 243 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: line is the police didn't arrest him for indecent exposure. 244 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: Local district attorney attorney didn't bring charges because the non 245 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: discrimination policy at the school gets any man who identifies 246 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: self identifies as a woman the right use the facilities. 247 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: And this kind of thing is happening all over the nation. 248 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: Men boys who identify as women or girls competing on 249 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: women's sports teams. So these things are already happening, and 250 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: we'll be enshrined into our civil rights bloss if this 251 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: thing were to pass. So we'll speaking of that. How 252 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: likely is it to pass? I know the President came 253 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: out today and said that he had some problems with it. 254 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: Is what is the likelihood as it stands right now? 255 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: Who's pushing it, who's sponsoring it? And how can people 256 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: take action? There'll be a lot of callers out there 257 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: right now, A lot of listeners out there who want 258 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: to take action, get involved with your group perhaps, so 259 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: feel free to give yourselves a plug as well. Over 260 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: to you. Well, I appreciate that almost every Democrat and 261 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: the House is standing for this. There are only only 262 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: a few Republicans standing for it. We set CWA, Concerned 263 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: Women for America sent a letter today to Nancy Pelosi. 264 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: Along with May, I point out other women's groups on 265 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: both sides of the Aisle. Women Liberation Front or WOLF. 266 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: They are a radical feminist group who have united with 267 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: us against this act because we understand that it will 268 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: bring harm to women and girls in many different ways. 269 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: So it will pass in the health But um, we 270 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: we are trying as much as we can to just 271 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: let people know what is going on. This thing is insane, 272 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: and um there are women, like I said, not just 273 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: conservative women as we are, who are standing against us 274 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: because we understand that it will hurt women and girls. 275 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: It already is it's part and parcel of this um 276 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: radical left agenda. I mean remember Alexandria Accassio Cortez promised 277 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: us in another in another violent anti women piece of 278 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: rhetoric that they would, they would run train on the 279 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: on the congressional agenda, UM in this in this Congress, 280 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: and it looks like they're doing just that. Um Dr Garrison. 281 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: I know it's politics, is you know, electoral politics may 282 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: not be what Concerned Women for America does directly. UM, 283 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: But but what what do you think about these guys 284 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: chances in in twenty twenty. I mean, they've been, they've 285 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: they've been already just so embarrassing for the political left. 286 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: There's any chance of the political left coming back to 287 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: being moderate and normal? Wow, that's a really good question. 288 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: From my seat here in DC. It doesn't look like it. 289 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: I really think they've lost their minds. Can I say 290 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: that on radio? Absolutely, it's mandatory on this show. Okay, well, 291 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: this is our point. This is why we're trying to 292 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: get the word out. I know that this sounds crazy. 293 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: I would have thought if I was one of your 294 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: listeners a couple of years ago, oh, this woman must 295 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: be an alarmist. But no, I am telling you what 296 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: is happening. We've been working on this issue in gender 297 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: identity policies for about two years now, and these things 298 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: are real. Congress is out of hand. We have tried 299 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: to explain to them the dangers of this bill that 300 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: it that it will hurt not just women, but little 301 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: girls who have to also deal with these types of things, 302 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: just like in that example that I give you gave 303 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: you and doctor Garrison. We're right at the end here. 304 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: Would you tell people where they can see more of 305 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: your work? What's the website? Yes, if you would please 306 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: go to our website Concerned Women for a excuse me, 307 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 1: Concerned Women for America.

We are the 316 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: piggy bank that everybody likes to take a manage of 317 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: or take from, and we can't let that happen anymore. 318 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 1: We've been losing for many years, anywhere from three hundred 319 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: billion to five hundred billion dollars a year with China 320 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: and trade with China. We can't let that happen. A 321 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: lot of strength is being shown. This has never happened 322 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: to China before. Our economy is fantastic. Theirs is not 323 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: so good.

They've gone way down since my election. 325 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: So that's the way it is. That's the way it stands. 326 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna do very well. Yeah, welcome back to the 327 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show.

Joining us on the line now is 330 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: somebody who's very familiar with that voice and familiar with 331 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: talking to that voice on that topic. Stephen K. Bannon 332 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: is the former White House Chief strategist and the former 333 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: CEO of the Trump campaign, My old boss, Steve. Welcome 334 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: to the show. I don't know what was harder being 335 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: the CEO of the Trump campaign, being chief strategists, or 336 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: being your former boss. I have an idea of what, 337 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: at least was much more trying on a daily basis, Steve, 338 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: you've been you've been on a tail lately about China. 339 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: I mean you have been focused on this issue almost 340 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: las alike for years now, but specifically within the last 341 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: week or so, we've seen your name popping up. I 342 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: still have Google alerts on for you, by the way, 343 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: so I see every morning what Steve Bannon is saying, 344 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: primarily about China at the moment, and operated in the 345 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: Washington Post last week, quoted at length in Yahoo News Today, 346 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: which is a very interesting article as well. Steve Bannon 347 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: cheering trade war, hopes for government to fall in China? 348 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: Is that a quixotic aim? Steve? Is there a chance 349 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: that the Chinese Communist Party actually crumbles because of the 350 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: policies of this administration. Look, I don't think just for 351 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: the president's you know the quote they're talking to the gaggle, 352 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: you know in the presidents to an excellent job here 353 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: motioning this and negotiating this. But when you look at 354 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: the deal that we tried to try to work out 355 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: with them, this is not a trade deal. I mean, 356 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: this is basically an armistice in an economic war that 357 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: the Chinese had been running on not just America but 358 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: the entire industrial West. I mean, I'm here in Berlin 359 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: and people with the business people, I'm talking to some 360 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: of the focal people. Everybody's talking about China and which 361 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: China is doing to basically eviscerate the manufacturing base of 362 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: the industrial democracy. So this is a series as against 363 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: President Trump is no Raheem work with Lightheiser Navarro for 364 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: almost a year to craft this deal. The Chinese knew 365 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: exactly what the architecture of it was. They knew exactly 366 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: this was focused around transparency and accountability and that was 367 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: going to be handled by a deep monitoring and also 368 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: the ability of enforcement. And the Chinese knew what this 369 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: was and at the last minute they rethought it and 370 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: they said, hey, this will begin the process of taking 371 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: apart the state capitalism that has worked for us, and 372 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: we think we can hours to west. So this is 373 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: this is as tough as people should be concerned about this. 374 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: It's important issue is the United States has ever faced. 375 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: Trump's doing a tremendous job. But this is really about 376 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: stopping this economic war that China has been running against us. 377 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: In the CCP. This radical cadre that controls China doesn't 378 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: have the Chinese people that change. People are as good 379 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: and decent as any people on earth. This is about 380 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: this radical cadre that controls them, and I think ultimately 381 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: something's going to have to happen there at that would 382 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: have to be about the Chinese people. But I think 383 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: the first step is the tough on this economic war 384 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: President Trump. They're saying in the clip we played just 385 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: out of the break that this has never happened to 386 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: China before. Well, Steve, you know this issue probably, I 387 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: would say, maybe better than anyone in America right now. 388 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: How did we get to this point? What are the 389 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: couple of decades of policies of not just the tont 390 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: but rolling over to China. Who was in charge of 391 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: those policies? Because while I'm hearing from the established media 392 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: at the moment, is we go to end this trade? 393 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: Will we go to end these tariffs? This is going 394 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: to Americans in the polkad. This sounds like it's coming 395 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: from some pretty slick operations in DC who have been 396 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: pumping these lines out for decades. Oh, this is the 397 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: swamp at large. I mean, raheem, you know this from 398 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: being Nigel's wingman in London. You're seeing right now Project Fear, 399 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,479 Speaker 1: Project Fear that ran on the Leaf campaign and then 400 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: braks it. You're seeing Project fear now put into the 401 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: American people by very slick influence operation backed by Chinese money. 402 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: And what you're seeing is that, oh, we have to 403 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: cut a deal quickly or the farmers are going to 404 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: be heard, or the stock market is going to implode. 405 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 1: It's only some difference here every other day. This has 406 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: been going on for basically almost twenty five years since 407 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: we allow China into the World Trade Organization. Most say 408 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: the nation and the experts that the global elites got 409 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: it wrong. The elites in New York City and Washington City. 410 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: They said, basically, we know we're gonna make China wealthier. 411 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: We know we're going to ship jobs over there, the 412 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: manufacturing jobs. So if they get wealthier, that become more 413 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: free markets, you know, lovers of democracy. Well that didn't happened. 414 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: They became the exact opposite. Now they're a complete totalitarian 415 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: surveillance state. Work into a surveillance state. And this is 416 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: what we've created. This is what Wall Street in the 417 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: corporatis and particularly Corporate America. Corporate America is their lobbying operation. 418 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: Wall Street is the investor's relations department of the Chinese 419 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: Communist Party. We've created this kind of Frankenstein Monster our 420 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: technology both that we allowed them to steal that the 421 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: forced technology transfers in that with Financeton Wall Street. You know, 422 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: NPR did this great piece two weeks ago about all 423 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 1: the companies. I think they went to two hundred companies 424 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: that had it the basic beating heart of their company 425 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: stolen by the Chinese. Not one company would come forward. 426 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: Everybody said we want the US governor to do something. 427 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: Not one company would come forward because they were afraid 428 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: of retaliations by China. So this has happened. This is 429 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is the permanent 430 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: political class that's in bed with the Chinese Communist Party. 431 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: They've all made money in China. They've all helped build 432 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: a firewall, build a surveillance technology that suppresses the Chinese people. 433 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: This is an outrage, not just a moral outrage, it's 434 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: a practical outrage. And it's the reason Donald talks president, 435 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: the reason he is president. The working class people in 436 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: the Upper Midwest were the fact the factories they got 437 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: shipped to China in the jobs rejected the globalist in 438 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. They wanted someone like that Donald Trump that 439 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: could come along and represent their interests. And this is 440 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: why you see Joe Biden up there, you see Bernie 441 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: Sanders up there. This is going to be the framing 442 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: issue for the twenty twenty campaign. What does victory look 443 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: like here for America? Steve, Yahoo's trying to portray it 444 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: that for you, victory is the crumbling of the regime 445 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: in China. What does victory in these trade talks for 446 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: America look like? Given that we've already seen the trade 447 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: gap narrow in the first quarter of twenty nineteen, I 448 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: think at the gap now compared with ninety one billion 449 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: in the same period last year. When as as this 450 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: deal progresses, what should the American people be looking for 451 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: and what deal should they take? Yeah, it's it's a 452 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: great question though people you wouldn't notice by listening to 453 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: the media going on, you know, cable TV at night, 454 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: that the trade deficit and trade deficit narrowed. Also, the 455 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: difference in economic growth between the two percent projected and 456 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: the three point two percent, that entire one percent was 457 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: all driven by closing the trade deficit. Also, input prices 458 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: are dropping in the first quarter. In addition that the 459 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: job's number that was so off the chart, So all 460 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 1: those metrics, and that's why Trump's saying is the day 461 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: the stock market rebounded, all of those metrics are pointing 462 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: to a more robust economy, and one of the reasons 463 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: is we're starting to pull the supply chain back from China. 464 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: And that's the central part of Trump's plan. I think 465 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: a success for the American people is you have to 466 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: blunt what China. This economic course China's running on us, 467 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: and this is not the trade part. These are the 468 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: deep vernicles where Trump and Lightheiser had negotiated an incredible 469 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: deal that no American president has ever done. And when 470 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: they try to Retraine, Trump said, bus is not going 471 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: to happen. So I think people should look for things 472 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: like force technology transfer, stop cyber intrusions, to steal our 473 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: intellectual property, subsidies, the state owned industries to drive to 474 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: destroy are steel, aluminum, and heavy manufacturing business. In the 475 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: stop of this Madan China twenty twenty five where they're 476 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: actually trying to overtake US as the leading advanced manufacturer 477 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: in the world. Those would be major wins not just 478 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: for the American people, but for all of the industrial democracies, 479 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: and start to begin to bring China into the free 480 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: market capitalist system that's really been the driver of peace 481 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: and prosperity throughout the world. That's a win. Anything short 482 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 1: of that is not going to be a win, and 483 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: I think that's why we're very far apart in this deal. 484 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: I would like to see for something to happen to him. 485 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: I think a process has to be started that you 486 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: can get to the heart of these difficult issues. But 487 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: I I just don't see President Trump blinking. I think 488 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: the Hawks in Beijing right now are saying, hey, this 489 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: is the moral equivalent of a of a port treaty 490 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: from the nineteenth century as being British, and that was 491 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,479 Speaker 1: really what started the two hundred years of humiliation. The 492 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: Chinese are saying. I think a lot of Hawks are saying, hey, 493 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: this would put America, with the monitoring and with the 494 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: enforcement directly into our economy. We're not going to do it. 495 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: So I think we're quite a bit a part of way. 496 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: Just before I let you go, I didn't realize you 497 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: were in Berlin, Steve. There's a lot of people out 498 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: there that like to follow what Steve Bannon is doing 499 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: across the world. What can you tell us about about 500 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: your travels in Europe and will I see you next 501 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: week in London. We're coming over human Events. It's coming 502 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: over to cover the European parliamentary campaign. If you remember, Steve, 503 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: we launched right about London five years ago, just ahead 504 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: of the European parliament election. So it's a very August 505 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: time for me. Well, i'll say it, within uber cutting 506 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: edge of the fight. I would like to join you 507 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: right now. My schedule was pretty damned and as you know, 508 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,479 Speaker 1: Nigel has done such a stunning job and setting out 509 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: this Brakesit party. We've actually planned to be on the content. 510 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: Now I'm here with Alternative for Deutschland to talk to 511 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: different people leadership and Alternative for Deutschland to go through 512 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: their plan and to run up to the European Parliamentary 513 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: elections next week. I'm heading to Paris on Friday and 514 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: then down to Italy and probably the Spain after that. 515 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: But this is a this is a you know, people 516 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: here are intentor hooks about how this election turns out. 517 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: In the next days. You have a real possibility for 518 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: this populous national and sovereignty movement to have some stunned victories. 519 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you could have a scenario where Salveni, lapen In, 520 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: Nigel fris are all a tomp you know, to some 521 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: of the one, two, three, four five top parties in 522 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: the European Parliament. You could end up with maybe as 523 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: much as thirty percent to thirty five percent of the 524 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: of the European parliamentary members to be part of this 525 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: kind of insurgent movement. So it's a huge thing. And 526 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,959 Speaker 1: I got to tell you I couldn't be proud of 527 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: what Nigel's do over the last couple of weeks. It 528 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: has been absolutely stunning for the audience. You know, Nigel 529 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: four I was calling, I think at thirty four thirty 530 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: five percent might get a forty percent on a party 531 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: that was literally put to put together, you know, over 532 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: the last five or six weeks, although he's been thinking 533 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: about it a lot. And I got to tell you, 534 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: I think if there's a general election in the fall, 535 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: we might be talking about Prime Minister Nichael Farage, because 536 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: I know has come on and really represented this, this 537 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: Brexit movement in some in a in a way that 538 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: I think really strikes to the heart of what the 539 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: issue is. So hopefully if I can reorganize that, nothing 540 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: would be better for me to be there thinking the 541 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: memories we had of twenty fourteen and everything that you 542 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: did to build Breakbart London and what Nigel did on 543 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: the Brexit thing. But I gotta tell you for the 544 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: audience that this is it's a prairie fire over here 545 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: for the sovereignty movement. And you saw Roba in the 546 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: Oval office this week. They didn't have a huge rally 547 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: on I think a Saturday in Milan. I'm heading down 548 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: to Paris on Thursday. It's this It's quite a time 549 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: over here. And by the way, in Germany we'll turn 550 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: for by signs REALI said, to get their sea legs. 551 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: I think they're going to be a very mature party 552 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: come the fall elections.

And there are so many things 593 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: that the United States does with the European Union. Of course, 594 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: many EU members are also NATO member states not paying 595 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: their fair share, as you well know. There are also 596 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: a lot of European policies, regulatory policies, financial industry policies 597 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: that have ramifications in the US too. There are digital 598 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: privacy policies GDPR. For those of you who have gone 599 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: on to websites when you're abroad and not been able 600 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: to get to them. That's GDPR for you and those 601 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: of you who see those little pop up notifications on 602 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: the bottom of some websites that say to be aligned 603 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: with the European Unions regulatory standards, we have to now 604 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: do this, this, and this and this with your data, 605 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: all of that and so so so much more, not 606 00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: least with regards immigration policy. Victor Orbarn's the Hungarian Prime Minister. 607 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: He was in the Oval Office this week, yesterday maybe 608 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: the days they all meshed together. Now. Orban was one 609 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,280 Speaker 1: of the guys that put up the fence, big tall 610 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: Razoroir fence day one when the migrant crisis started. He said, nope, 611 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: I'm protecting my country. This isn't a free for all, 612 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: no matter what Angela Merkel says. Not everyone can come 613 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: and live in Europe, and rightly so in my estimation. 614 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: But Orban had been frozen out of coming to the 615 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: White House since I think about two thousand and five 616 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: was the last time that he was invited. Now, Hungry, 617 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: you might say, isn't that important in a country in 618 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things, But actually hungry is proof 619 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: of concept on a lot of things. Hungary, alongside Israel 620 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 1: being proof of concept that wolves work for a start. 621 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: Hungary also being one of the member states of NATO 622 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: which is committed to increasing its contribution. Hungary also one 623 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: of the philosophically aligned countries. Two President Trump and the 624 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 1: Trump administration. And in the next in the next hour, 625 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,479 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to you a little bit about 626 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: what's going on in Britain with Brexit at the moment 627 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: as well, and how that has ramifications for the United 628 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: States audience as well. Because if you had told me 629 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: that Nigel Farage might have a chance of being prime 630 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: minister or deputy prime minister, that's my old boss. By 631 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,720 Speaker 1: the way, think about having Steve Bannon and Nigel Farage 632 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: as your old boss is stressful. You know, if if 633 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: you'd said he could be prime minister, I would I 634 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: would have said, there's more likelihood of me donning a 635 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: pair of red cowboy boots just not going to happen. 636 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: But it turns out that that might be something. You know. 637 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about that and a whole lot 638 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: more in the next segments.

Terry impress them? 682 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 1: What is going on with this Equality Act? How is 683 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 1: this sneaking kind of beneath the raider. I'm not really 684 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: seeing this on television, you guys obviously at the American 685 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: Principles Project that concerned Wining from America and a couple 686 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: of other groups, even some left wing groups, as doctor 687 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: Scher Garrison told us in the last hour, banging on 688 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: about this now in all the right ways. Tell us 689 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: about this, what it means, and where are you guys 690 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: approaching this issue from. So, look, the main problem with 691 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: the Equality Act is it it's kind of a trojan 692 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: horse for a lot of bad things. And what they're 693 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: making it out to be is a pro gay rights 694 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 1: bill that protects gay people and bisexual people from discrimination 695 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,479 Speaker 1: from you know, being fired for being gay or being 696 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: discriminated against. But the real problem is is that it 697 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: includes that's a really ambiguous term, gender identity. It doesn't 698 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: define gender identity. So for your listeners that aren't really 699 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 1: that familiar, gender identity is not related. Apparently is not 700 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: related to your biological sex. So I'm a male, I 701 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: identify as a male, but there's nothing stopping me from 702 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,240 Speaker 1: saying to you, raheem, I now identify as a female 703 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 1: and then having all of the rights that females apply. 704 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,280 Speaker 1: And the reason that this is majorly problematic is because 705 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:10,439 Speaker 1: of such areas such as batters, women's shelters, showers, locker room, 706 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 1: especially with female sports. You know, I mean, men have 707 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: this natural advantage when it comes to athletic where we 708 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,439 Speaker 1: can get whoa whoa whoa terry, terry terry. Firstly, you're 709 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: not allowed to say that anymore. I'm sending the police around. 710 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: I am calling the police. Secondly, I have to say 711 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: I've seen you playing sport and you do not have 712 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: a more natural ability than most women. Oh come on, 713 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: you haven't yet. I am a phenomenal I might be 714 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: able to be Venus Williams, to be honest, very I'm 715 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: a very good lacrosse player. No, I think you know 716 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: what's what's happening now is in high school, these young 717 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: guys are identifying as female and they're getting into track 718 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: and they're just destroying these female records. Well, because you know, 719 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: men just have natural athletic ability that women don't. Um. 720 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:07,359 Speaker 1: Just today, actually on Archie Tone, uh, a male who 721 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: identifies as a female had his uh, his records uh 722 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: revokes from him. He had this powerlifter, h transgender female 723 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,720 Speaker 1: who's really a male, broke like four female powerlifting records 724 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: in one day and he had all of those revoked 725 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,919 Speaker 1: because they did a hormone test and the hormone show 726 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 1: that he was really a man. Uh. So look there there, 727 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of bad implications here, and the 728 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: Equality Act is just a bad bill. But if you 729 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: ask the American people, should someone be fired for being gay? Uh, 730 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: They're gonna say no, they should be protected. But if 731 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: you ask the average person page, if a kindergarten teacher 732 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: uh comes out as transgender, should that teacher really be 733 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: able to teach kindergarteners? Ninety percent of them are gonna 734 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,280 Speaker 1: say no. Uh. And so you look, if the Democrats 735 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: were really good will about this, they take the gender 736 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 1: identity part out of it and just get some protections 737 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,800 Speaker 1: for LGB members of their community. But that's not really 738 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: what this is about. The Social Engineering Bill. It's a 739 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:18,439 Speaker 1: complete and unmitigated disaster. And uh, I'm really worried about. 740 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: There's a fourteen Republicans that are rumored to be supporting it, 741 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: which is just pathetic, pathetic. Well, let's get into that. 742 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know those fourteen off the 743 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 1: top of your head, nor if you can tell us 744 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,800 Speaker 1: any of them. Is it sort of the usual suspects? 745 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: Who are we talking about here? Well, I mean we're 746 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, the obvious people. It's you know, the least 747 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,399 Speaker 1: the fanic, that's you know, the most surprised. The two 748 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: most surprising ones that I've heard that are flirting with 749 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: voting for this or will heard and um Justin amash 750 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: Justin Amashu, he's a libertarian, but I'm getting a lot 751 00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 1: of intel that he's thinking about voting for this absolutely 752 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: bizarre terry. Um, if orderary people out there want to 753 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,839 Speaker 1: do something about it, what can they do? Where can 754 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: they go? Tell them? Tell them everything. The best thing 755 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: you guys can do is call you're a member of Congress, 756 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,760 Speaker 1: especially if they're a Republican, and urge them to vote 757 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: no and vote on a clean bill of glip bill 758 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: that you know, if you really support gay rights and 759 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: you don't think people should be fired for being gay, 760 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: they should support a clean bill where there's obvious consensus 761 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: and obvious science m and say that, you know, gay 762 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: people can't be fired for the jobs of from their 763 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 1: jobs for being gay.

Um tell us, Mike, what was AOC 808 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 1: press on Twitter? And why did the geniuses in Silicon 809 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: Valley decide that you weren't allowed to have your account anymore? 810 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:21,839 Speaker 1: Which was a parody of the left wing congresswoman Alexandra 811 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 1: Accassio Cortez. So anc Press was a Twitter account created 812 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: to mark the stupidity of AOC and to make jokes 813 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: and tweet about things which sounds like things that she 814 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:42,879 Speaker 1: could have said. And Twitter seemed like that they saw 815 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: too many people were taking it from the real thing. 816 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: So despite it saying that it was a parody account 817 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 1: in two places, they decided that that wasn't enough and 818 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 1: it was still formed people because she is that dumb, 819 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 1: and they decided that time had to go. Wait, we 820 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,320 Speaker 1: have to make very clear here that the Buck Sexton 821 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 1: Show does not institutionally believe that Alexandria A Cassio Cortez 822 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,359 Speaker 1: is quote that dumb Mike Morrison, I think we might. 823 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,800 Speaker 1: I think I just got the producer telling me I 824 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 1: think we might. Actually, I want to I want to 825 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: make very clear. I think she is. She is right 826 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 1: up there. She is. You know, she's one of the 827 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: that I can't even do it, Mike. You know, when 828 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: it comes to the tech censorship thing, Twitter claims to 829 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: accept parody, but as you say, you put parody in 830 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: your title of the account, it said aoc Press Brackett's parody, 831 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,719 Speaker 1: and you also had it in the bio in the 832 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,399 Speaker 1: biography of the account, so people couldn't have been under 833 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 1: the impression that it was anything but a parody account. 834 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 1: So why do you think this has happened? And give us, 835 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 1: if you can, a little bit of context around what 836 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: else has happened in the past couple of weeks, because 837 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,640 Speaker 1: we've had many men, the right wingers who are banned 838 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:07,879 Speaker 1: off Twitter, off Facebook, off Instagram. And it's not just them, 839 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: it's not just the big wigs, it's not just the 840 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: talking heads, it's not just the media personalities, ordinary people, right, like, 841 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: like honestly like yourself, Mike. You know you're not You're 842 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 1: not really a politics guy. You don't work in politics. 843 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 1: You're a private individual. You thought it would be funny 844 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: to start up a parody account. Just just talk to 845 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 1: us about all of that and and how that portends 846 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 1: for the American commitment to freedom of speech. So yeah, 847 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: I mean, let's trying already started a while back, like 848 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,080 Speaker 1: you said, it started with people like Alex Stones, and 849 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,760 Speaker 1: even a little bit before that with Milo and people 850 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,240 Speaker 1: like that, and it's been going sort of like they're 851 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 1: starting at different levels. You know, they take someone radical 852 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,400 Speaker 1: like Alex Stones, another controversial figure. This is the info 853 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:57,800 Speaker 1: Wars host, Yeah, Alex Stones and for as a host, 854 00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,360 Speaker 1: and they picked them off, and then they slowly, slowly 855 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: moved down the list of people like less and less controversial. 856 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,200 Speaker 1: You know. Then they went from the War rumor, and 857 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: then they went for Jacob Wall and then you know, 858 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,240 Speaker 1: they're going down the list. And then they took my account. 859 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 1: I mean, anyone who knows me from Twitter knows that 860 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm a pretty tame guy on Twitter. My only client 861 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 1: was that I was running a parody account. Mocking the 862 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 1: new Democratic Queen or the or the or the new 863 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,400 Speaker 1: the new Disney princess of the Democrat Party. Mike, what 864 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 1: is the recourse when you when you get your account banned? 865 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:38,680 Speaker 1: What steps can you take? So that's also the I 866 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: think the big problem of of what I think with 867 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: the social media censorship and stuff like that, that I 868 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:51,319 Speaker 1: received a generic email stating that my account has been suspended. Now, 869 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 1: I spent two years on the platform, building up a following, 870 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,280 Speaker 1: building up people who are interested in my content, and 871 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: then I ran a parody as well and built that 872 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 1: up as well. And I mean, the least that they 873 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,880 Speaker 1: should do for someone who's added some sort of value 874 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 1: to their company, reach out to me, let me know 875 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 1: that I'm doing something wrong, let me know how I 876 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 1: can fix it. It's just like, without any warning, without 877 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: any communication, just an email, your account has been banned 878 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 1: and it will not be reinstated. That was the email 879 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,399 Speaker 1: I received, and that when I opened it, they said 880 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,840 Speaker 1: there was basically another generic email with a few extra 881 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 1: words thrown in there just to make it sound like 882 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,520 Speaker 1: something different. This is happening to so many people at 883 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 1: the moment. As they say, Mike, it's not just people 884 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 1: who have big followings or big personalities in any way, 885 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,040 Speaker 1: shape or form, And it feels a lot to me 886 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:48,160 Speaker 1: like election meddling. It feels like the band hammer is 887 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 1: being wielded at a speed, at a rate that it 888 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 1: hasn't been over the last couple of years. It feels 889 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 1: like as we creep towards those twenty twenty elections, the 890 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: social media giants, whether they're doing it as as a 891 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 1: cartel where they're all coming together and thinking about these 892 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: rules themselves, or whether they're doing it alone or at 893 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: least by just sort of taking inspiration from one another, 894 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:15,280 Speaker 1: it feels like this is to ensure that the president, 895 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 1: the president supporters, the president's messages can reach fewer and 896 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 1: fewer people as we get closer and closer to the 897 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,439 Speaker 1: election next year. Would you would you agree with that? 898 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,959 Speaker 1: And and you know, just talk a little bit about 899 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 1: the scale of this, because these people aren't people with 900 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 1: sort of ten thousand and twenty thousand followers. These are 901 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 1: people with hundreds of thousands and millions of followers out there, 902 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:40,320 Speaker 1: and then they they have their followers retweet them and 903 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 1: there's a massive, massive filter effect as to how this 904 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 1: sort of goes goes out there to not just in 905 00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 1: the United States, but but abroad as well. Yeah, you know, 906 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,920 Speaker 1: a hundred percent spout out with that, and I've been 907 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 1: saying that, but I'm taking down my account. It wasn't 908 00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,880 Speaker 1: that large of an account. I had about sixty thousand 909 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 1: followers on my personal account. By them taking down just 910 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:06,239 Speaker 1: that one account, they've done more election medaling than any 911 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: of those Russian baths that they claimed have been infiltrating 912 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 1: on social media to affect the outcome of the election. 913 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 1: And it's not going to stop. They've took me down, 914 00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 1: and then they took down David Horwitz and they've reinstalled him. 915 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 1: They took him down again. And then Carpe Donctum, who's 916 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 1: I guess we could call him the Secretary of Memes 917 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,239 Speaker 1: for the President, is this is the guy that makes 918 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,799 Speaker 1: this is Well, let's just explain Carpe Donctum for people, Mike, 919 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: because not everybody is like you and you and me, 920 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 1: who is glued to our compusers and our phones all day. 921 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:41,240 Speaker 1: Carpe Donctum makes these funny parody videos, these meme style 922 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 1: videos where he superimposes people's heads on other people from 923 00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,640 Speaker 1: movies and things like that, and it's it's actually got 924 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 1: to the point where carpe donctums memes. His videos have 925 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 1: been tweeted out by the President of the United States 926 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 1: before and had massive, massive, I mean hundred of thousands, 927 00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,839 Speaker 1: if not millions of impressions over the past couple of months. 928 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 1: They've suspended him too. Yeah, so they suspended his account. 929 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 1: And then that was after a quarter me with after 930 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 1: by the Klasenstein brothers, who are paid trolls control every 931 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: one of Trump's tweets. They went ahead and they had 932 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 1: all their followers mass report a mean video of Trump 933 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,279 Speaker 1: doing something violent towards Jim A Class, who was the 934 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: White House correspondent for CNN. Well he didn't though, and 935 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 1: that's and that's entirely and that's entirely the point you 936 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,000 Speaker 1: see you see the video in question here. And I 937 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 1: know this might sound sort of insular Internet talk to 938 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there, but actually this is 939 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,800 Speaker 1: one of the major communications message that helped President Trump 940 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,280 Speaker 1: win in two thousand and sixteen, you know, going around 941 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: the mainstream media and going straight to the American people 942 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 1: with with with memes.

And 981 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:23,399 Speaker 1: these people have control of our governmental well, I mean, 982 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 1: you know we we I think a lot of us. 983 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:27,080 Speaker 1: And I was in this movie. I don't know if 984 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,040 Speaker 1: you saw a bill it was called Trump at War 985 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,280 Speaker 1: that came out before the midterm elections. We were warning 986 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,680 Speaker 1: in that movie and a very short movie you can 987 00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 1: still find it online, that this is exactly the thing, 988 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,719 Speaker 1: the type of thing that would happen if the Democrats 989 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 1: took control of Congress. Why Bill, did the American people 990 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 1: allow the Democrats to take hold of Congress knowing what 991 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,960 Speaker 1: they knew then about what the what the agenda was 992 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,239 Speaker 1: going to be? I mean, what do you have to 993 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 1: say about those people who put the Rashida Talabs and 994 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,080 Speaker 1: the elan Omar's and the Alexander Occasio cortez Is and 995 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 1: keep it clean? Bill? But what do you have to 996 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 1: say to those people, your fellow countrymen and women? What 997 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:05,760 Speaker 1: I think of them? They are like a pack of sheep. 998 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 1: They're just being led down this road? How do we 999 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 1: lead them back the other way? If if if I 1000 00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 1: said to you, Bill, you're in charge of the twenty 1001 00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,479 Speaker 1: twenty Trump campaign, what does the first thing you would 1002 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 1: do and have the president do to bring those people 1003 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 1: back from the crazy brink. We have to get to 1004 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 1: them somehow. We have to convince them what is going 1005 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: on before it's too late? And and I think that's 1006 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,240 Speaker 1: a really important point, Bill, What does too late look like? 1007 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 1: Is it this a quality act that we've been talking 1008 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: about on the case on this show. Is it open borders? 1009 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,480 Speaker 1: You know, there's all sorts of these crazy things? Is 1010 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: it the Green New Deal? Is all these crazy things 1011 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,200 Speaker 1: that Democrats are pushing right now? What does too late 1012 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 1: look like? Because I get I've got to tell you, 1013 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of my American friends who thinks 1014 00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,120 Speaker 1: think it's already too late. The road is already set. 1015 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 1: But oh you but talking about the Green Deal? Okay, 1016 00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,480 Speaker 1: people understand what the carbon adam actually it does in 1017 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:05,480 Speaker 1: the atmosphere. I don't think they do. It has a 1018 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 1: purpose wide set. Go ahead, Bill, you're still with us. 1019 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,640 Speaker 1: I think we may have lost Bill there. Bill, I 1020 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 1: appreciate the frustration. I mean it's a frustration. I think 1021 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people are feeling outside of the major 1022 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 1: cities outside of Washington, DC, outside of New York, outside 1023 00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, which unfortunately are three of the cities 1024 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 1: that I have to spend most of my time in. 1025 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 1: But I sensed the frustration out there when talking to 1026 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,720 Speaker 1: ordinary people looking at this stuff. You know, they see 1027 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,920 Speaker 1: it on the nightly news and it's almost sort of 1028 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,640 Speaker 1: a like a rubbing your eyes. I can't believe this 1029 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 1: is actually happening in my country sort of thing. And 1030 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 1: I feel for you because, you know, I'm obviously, as 1031 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,479 Speaker 1: you can probably hear from my accent, not from here, 1032 00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,480 Speaker 1: and we experienced this long ago. We're now at the 1033 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: point where three year olds in our classrooms are being 1034 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 1: taught about transgender issues. That's where that's where my country, 1035 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,840 Speaker 1: where Britain, is at the moment, and I feel the 1036 00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 1: pine of hearing people going, well, what on earth is 1037 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 1: going on out there? And this is why I think 1038 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:10,960 Speaker 1: also the the home schooling issue is such as such 1039 00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:15,400 Speaker 1: a big boon to not American conservatism. We've got to 1040 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,240 Speaker 1: get that out of our heads. It's not just the 1041 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 1: right that thinks a lot of these things are nuts. 1042 00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,600 Speaker 1: You know, there's a great swathe of people who identify 1043 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 1: in the middle as independence on the political left who 1044 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 1: also think that this is nuts. I mean, Dr Sheer 1045 00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,000 Speaker 1: Garrison was telling us in the first part of this 1046 00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 1: show that they've got some revolutionary leftists who were joining 1047 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,080 Speaker 1: in their criticism of the Equality Act. The act that 1048 00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:41,800 Speaker 1: would allow me to just walk into a women's changing 1049 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 1: room and say I identify as woman. Now you're not 1050 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,160 Speaker 1: allowed to question me. So I think that there is 1051 00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,520 Speaker 1: there is this strain of most of America, or at 1052 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,560 Speaker 1: least the bloody will hope there is that finds this 1053 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 1: stuff repugnant and repulsive and reprehensible and regrettable. And that's 1054 00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,440 Speaker 1: a lot of our words. I I so want to 1055 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 1: talk to you guys a little bit about what we 1056 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,920 Speaker 1: left off just before the last break, just before we 1057 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 1: had that great call from Bill. There we're talking about 1058 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 1: with Mike Morrison, the digital staff, And this leads one 1059 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,760 Speaker 1: to the other, because I'll tell you something right now. 1060 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,280 Speaker 1: A couple of days before we were going to launch 1061 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,360 Speaker 1: relaunch the Human Events website. And for those of you 1062 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 1: that don't know, it's the oldest conservative magazine in the 1063 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 1: country's seventy five years old. It was Reagan's favorite magazine 1064 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 1: and we bought it at the beginning of this year, 1065 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,840 Speaker 1: my business partner, Will and I. We bought at the 1066 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 1: beginning of this year. We were relaunching it on May 1067 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 1: the first, and three days before, two days before the 1068 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: launch the relaunch, Facebook banned me, suspended me rather for 1069 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,920 Speaker 1: three days, just conveniently as we're about to do a 1070 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 1: massive push across all digital media for something that had 1071 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,439 Speaker 1: cost us a lot of time and a lot of money, 1072 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,400 Speaker 1: and we've gone to a lot of effort to bring 1073 01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:54,120 Speaker 1: back this great conservative magazine. They suspended my account and 1074 01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: they suspended the account and they said it was because 1075 01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 1: I called somebody dumb and I went on Tucker Carlson 1076 01:00:58,280 --> 01:00:59,560 Speaker 1: that night and we talked about it was great. You 1077 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,320 Speaker 1: can find out YouTube right. But then as the band 1078 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:08,480 Speaker 1: rescinded after three days, I got a personal email. In fact, 1079 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 1: I didn't plan to do this, but I'm going to 1080 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,400 Speaker 1: bring this email up in my email right now and 1081 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: read it to you guys, because I think it's completely 1082 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,960 Speaker 1: extraordinary because it was unsolicited and it was from a 1083 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,800 Speaker 1: person at Facebook. Now, those of you who have contended 1084 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,200 Speaker 1: with an issue like this before, no, it's very difficult 1085 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,840 Speaker 1: to find someone at Facebook, a human being to interact with. 1086 01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 1: And I'll read you this now. It's from a lady. 1087 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to read an email. I don't want 1088 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:32,920 Speaker 1: people sending a hate mail or anything like that. It's 1089 01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,400 Speaker 1: from a lady and she says unsolested. Remember, Hiraheem Hello. 1090 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 1: We do not allow hate speech on Facebook because it 1091 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,480 Speaker 1: creates an environment of intimidation and exclusion, and in some 1092 01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 1: cases may promote real world violence. We define hate speech 1093 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,320 Speaker 1: as a direct attack on people based on what we 1094 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 1: call protected characteristics race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, 1095 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:58,160 Speaker 1: gender identity, and serious disability or disease. We also provide 1096 01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 1: some protections for immigration status. We define attack as violent 1097 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,920 Speaker 1: or to humanizing speech, statements of inferiority, or calls for 1098 01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 1: exclusion or segregation. We separate attacks into three tiers of severity, 1099 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 1: as described below. Sometimes people share content containing someone else's 1100 01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 1: hate speech for the purpose of raising awareness or educating others. Similarly, 1101 01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,960 Speaker 1: in some cases, words or terms that might otherwise violate 1102 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,160 Speaker 1: our standards are used self referentially or an empowering way. 1103 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,960 Speaker 1: When this is the case, we allow the content. We 1104 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,360 Speaker 1: expect people to clearly indicate their intent, which helps us 1105 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 1: better understand why they shared it. Where the intention is unclear, 1106 01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,080 Speaker 1: we may remove the content. We allow humor and social 1107 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,800 Speaker 1: commentary related to these topics. In addition, we believe that 1108 01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,040 Speaker 1: people are more responsible when they share this kind of 1109 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 1: commentary using their authentic identity yours blah blah blah and 1110 01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 1: what they got me on or what they thought they 1111 01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 1: got me on, what they sent to me back was 1112 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 1: a screenshot of a comment I had made on my 1113 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 1: page in two thousand and eight where it just says 1114 01:02:56,200 --> 01:03:00,240 Speaker 1: men can't be women. So they pulled that back from 1115 01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 1: eleven years ago and said, gotcha, you intolerant bigot, you 1116 01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:09,120 Speaker 1: may not use our platform. Well, I'll say it here, 1117 01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,960 Speaker 1: men can't be women and Facebook can't suspend me. Here. 1118 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,479 Speaker 1: I actually sent them a very very snarky email bag, 1119 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,960 Speaker 1: which I'm minded to read you in the next segment. Yes, 1120 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,040 Speaker 1: I think, I think that's exactly what we're gonna do. 1121 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna save it for the next segment. It's very funny. 1122 01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 1: You're going to enjoy it. So make sure you don't 1123 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 1: touch that dial, leather, knob, easel, whatever, newsle whatever you 1124 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 1: call it. This is the Buck Sexton Show, Amrahemal. We're 1125 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,439 Speaker 1: gonna be right back after this short break.

Before the break, I was reading 1128 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:51,000 Speaker 1: for you an email that I got from Facebook. Quite 1129 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 1: an extraordinary email, I thought, especially regarding protected categories, protected classes. 1130 01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 1: This is a and here's the thing. When we talk 1131 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:03,080 Speaker 1: about this issue, lot of conservatives bulk because we're talking 1132 01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:09,440 Speaker 1: effectively about perhaps potentially using some kind of antitrust laws. 1133 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,760 Speaker 1: We're using some kind of regulatory power, or at least 1134 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 1: legislative power to stop this tech tyranny going on, and 1135 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,560 Speaker 1: it is a tyranny. Let's be very clear about this. 1136 01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,720 Speaker 1: Before I bring on a caller Felix in Pennsylvania, I 1137 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 1: just want to set the stage here. Facebook has two 1138 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 1: point three billion billion monthly active users. WhatsApp, which is 1139 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 1: owned by Facebook, has one point six billion monthly users. Messenger, 1140 01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,720 Speaker 1: the Facebook messenger app, one point three billion monthly users. 1141 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:48,600 Speaker 1: Instagram growing but one billion monthly users. Now, that is 1142 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:54,200 Speaker 1: an awful lot of people using just one company to communicate. 1143 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 1: Compare that in contrast that to their competitors in the market. 1144 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:03,360 Speaker 1: Snapchat two hundred and eighty seven million monthly users. Twitter 1145 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,640 Speaker 1: only has three hundred and thirty million monthly users. Read it, 1146 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,120 Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty million monthly users, linked In three 1147 01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,280 Speaker 1: hundred and three million monthly users, TikTok, the ones that 1148 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,960 Speaker 1: the one that kids are using nowadays five hundred million 1149 01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 1: monthly users. And the one that's sort of the big 1150 01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,360 Speaker 1: one that isn't Facebook cone is YouTube. At one point 1151 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 1: nine billion monthly active views, but a slightly different platform, 1152 01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 1: a video platform, not a messenger or publisher in the 1153 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,720 Speaker 1: same sense. I want to bring in Felix on the 1154 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 1: lines from Pennsylvania. Felix, you with us, Yes, Laura hem Hey, 1155 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 1: it's a real pleasure to hear you. This is all mine. 1156 01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,720 Speaker 1: Go ahead. I really want to throw some blame at 1157 01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:44,960 Speaker 1: the Conservatives, you know, a lot. For a long time, 1158 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 1: they've been saying these companies, you know, they're private entities 1159 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 1: and they have the right to do whatever they want. 1160 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but to trample on your constitutional rights in 1161 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,240 Speaker 1: the Constitution through these cooperations, this should not be allowed. 1162 01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:58,480 Speaker 1: Freedom of speech should be freedom of speech, you know, 1163 01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,320 Speaker 1: and that should be protected. And the public platforms are 1164 01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,280 Speaker 1: the only place that you could got. So another phone 1165 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:05,680 Speaker 1: company is going to be able to decide, you know, 1166 01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,920 Speaker 1: what you can say over the telephone. That's basically the 1167 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,320 Speaker 1: same thing. And also too of this whole thing about 1168 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, deciding what's hate speech. I'm sorry. I think 1169 01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 1: freedom of speech is freedom of speech, and all right, 1170 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot of Felix, there's a lot to unpack there, 1171 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:21,440 Speaker 1: and I want to I want to get your thoughts 1172 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,520 Speaker 1: on more of it, because it sounds to me like 1173 01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,080 Speaker 1: you've been following this issue for some time. Because let 1174 01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 1: me tell you something, I share my frustration, the frustration 1175 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,480 Speaker 1: that you you so eloquently put it with conservatives on 1176 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,360 Speaker 1: this issue. You know, we have a lot of people 1177 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:38,360 Speaker 1: out there still saying, but raheem. These are private companies. 1178 01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 1: You can't expect them to let you use your their platform. 1179 01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:43,920 Speaker 1: This is this is you know, you agree to the 1180 01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,200 Speaker 1: terms of service, You agree to them harvesting all your 1181 01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,640 Speaker 1: data and selling it on to other companies. You agree 1182 01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,200 Speaker 1: to all of that, and you can't then expect anything 1183 01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 1: else in return. That's that's market capitalism. Felix, Let me 1184 01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,640 Speaker 1: tell you something for everybody out there that thinks like that. 1185 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:03,200 Speaker 1: Would you, as Felix says, would you a standby and 1186 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:07,200 Speaker 1: let your phone company without incident? Would you let them 1187 01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,680 Speaker 1: take you off the network because they listened into your 1188 01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,120 Speaker 1: court and they didn't like something you were saying. Would 1189 01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 1: you allow a private corporation to own every road or 1190 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,800 Speaker 1: every public area in the United States and police who 1191 01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,560 Speaker 1: can be there and who can say what they like 1192 01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,200 Speaker 1: based on what they think, based on what their religious 1193 01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,240 Speaker 1: affiliation is, or based on what their political affiliation is, 1194 01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,880 Speaker 1: based on how they vote. You wouldn't. You wouldn't accept that. 1195 01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:34,360 Speaker 1: And the digital square is no different from the public square. Yes, fine, 1196 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:38,160 Speaker 1: we started this, Go ahead, Felix. And you're know, well, 1197 01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,680 Speaker 1: here's another one. You know, they're saying that employers can 1198 01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,840 Speaker 1: decide that you know, they're going to get the Second Amendment, 1199 01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 1: that they will have the right now to hire you 1200 01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:50,520 Speaker 1: if you own firearms, if you're exercising your constitution worm, 1201 01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,360 Speaker 1: if you're exercising your constitution or right, you can be 1202 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,520 Speaker 1: fired from your job apparently now as well. Felix. We've 1203 01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:56,640 Speaker 1: got to leave it there, but I thank you for 1204 01:07:56,680 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 1: the great call. Phelix is absolutely right. I mean, and 1205 01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:04,280 Speaker 1: I take so much, so much umbradge with people out 1206 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: there who just want to roll over and die on 1207 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 1: this issue, who just want to say, you know, we 1208 01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,320 Speaker 1: lost this war, we lost the digital war. We're not 1209 01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 1: going to get these platforms back. We've got to go 1210 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 1: and start our own platforms. Okay, cool, Why don't you 1211 01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 1: go and start your own Internet. Let me know how 1212 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 1: that works out for you. Because this isn't about Facebook 1213 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,320 Speaker 1: or Google or YouTube or whatever. It's about what all 1214 01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 1: of them are together, and what all of them are 1215 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:32,800 Speaker 1: together are effectively the Internet, are effectively social media. Yes, 1216 01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,160 Speaker 1: you can have little apps popping up here and there, 1217 01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:39,080 Speaker 1: Parley and gab and all these ones. Yes they exist, fine, 1218 01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,679 Speaker 1: But when you get to the point where these guys 1219 01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:46,480 Speaker 1: in conjunction with the financial services like Stripe and PayPal 1220 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,640 Speaker 1: and all of these other things, and MasterCard and the 1221 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 1: processing payment services, and then you got Uber and Lyft 1222 01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,040 Speaker 1: banning Laura Luma and Uber Eats spanning Laura Luma. I mean, 1223 01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:59,559 Speaker 1: what threat does Laura Luma, this young conservative journalist, well 1224 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,439 Speaker 1: threat she posed to Uber eats if she wants to 1225 01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,400 Speaker 1: get a falafel delivered to her house at three am 1226 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,599 Speaker 1: in the morning. What is that any business of theirs 1227 01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 1: to say we don't like your politics, therefore we're removing 1228 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,519 Speaker 1: you from our app. You know, that's how far it's 1229 01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:16,200 Speaker 1: already gone. So to those people out there, and by 1230 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 1: the way, I want to make a full and open 1231 01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 1: declaration on this show right now. I've never done it before, 1232 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,800 Speaker 1: but let me say something to you. I used to 1233 01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,560 Speaker 1: say that. I used to say, these are private platforms, 1234 01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:29,760 Speaker 1: there's nothing we can do about it. But there is 1235 01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,400 Speaker 1: there's a lot we can do about it. You know, 1236 01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt trust busted when there was clear monopolistic, oligopolistic 1237 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 1: cartilized power in the United States. Ronald Reagan wielded the 1238 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:48,080 Speaker 1: hammer of government when the telecommunications companies were becoming too big, 1239 01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:51,880 Speaker 1: too unwieldy, and too hard to hold to account. So 1240 01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,360 Speaker 1: let's not say that we can't do it, and let's 1241 01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,200 Speaker 1: also not say that it isn't conservative to do it, 1242 01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:02,360 Speaker 1: because what is conservatism. Cism isn't an ideology. It's not 1243 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:06,519 Speaker 1: this blind fealty to market forces and market values. And 1244 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,360 Speaker 1: anybody who thinks it is has not picked up a 1245 01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,439 Speaker 1: book that hasn't been written in the last twenty or 1246 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,720 Speaker 1: thirty years. And I suggest you go back through the 1247 01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:20,680 Speaker 1: history and through the philosophy and epistemological roots of conservatism 1248 01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,280 Speaker 1: and school yourself because listen, you are not going to 1249 01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:29,240 Speaker 1: conserve anything if you allow these Silicon Valley nut jobs 1250 01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,559 Speaker 1: to tell you what you can and can't say and 1251 01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:36,479 Speaker 1: what you can and can't believe. Fundamentally, if you do that, 1252 01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:39,519 Speaker 1: you are rolling over. And on that note, I want 1253 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:43,200 Speaker 1: to read you my reply email to this woman from Facebook. 1254 01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:46,040 Speaker 1: I said, and I said, her name. In return, said 1255 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,639 Speaker 1: dear X, thank you for the clarification. I am curious 1256 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 1: as to under which guys you are defining said post 1257 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,000 Speaker 1: as hate speech, particularly as you outline yourself that religious 1258 01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,720 Speaker 1: affiliation is a protected category. You will note that my 1259 01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,679 Speaker 1: original post was made into and eight. And here's the kicker, guys. 1260 01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,840 Speaker 1: At the time, I was expressing a view based on 1261 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,400 Speaker 1: my Muslim faith, and I suppose you know back then 1262 01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,560 Speaker 1: I probably was still, at least in some way of 1263 01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:14,280 Speaker 1: practicing Muslim. I'm not anymore. For those wondering, your attack 1264 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:17,639 Speaker 1: on my religious beliefs can therefore be constituted as hate 1265 01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,559 Speaker 1: speech themselves, can they not? Furthermore, you will note that 1266 01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,920 Speaker 1: at no point have I called for the exclusion of anyone, 1267 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,760 Speaker 1: nor the persecution. Quite the opposite. My approach to this 1268 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:29,639 Speaker 1: issue is predicated on statistical information that reveals that those 1269 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,600 Speaker 1: of transpersuasions are no less likely to suffer depression and 1270 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,920 Speaker 1: suicide than those who do not adhere to a current 1271 01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:38,439 Speaker 1: gender dysphoria proposition of changing their gender status. It would 1272 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 1: logically follow, based on your suppositions, that Facebook's position is 1273 01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,120 Speaker 1: both anti Islam and pro suicide. If that is the case, 1274 01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,800 Speaker 1: I would be keen to know as with the world. 1275 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:48,920 Speaker 1: That was my letter to Facebook. This is the buck 1276 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:52,120 Speaker 1: Sexton Show.

No, I'm not. 1342 01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying, like, 1343 01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:44,439 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, why why do you need to 1344 01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 1: shove to shove a drag queen down the throat of 1345 01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,640 Speaker 1: and you know, frankly, a semi literate drag queen with 1346 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:55,800 Speaker 1: all these kind of absurd affectations that that that you know, 1347 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,559 Speaker 1: that that make no sense to me, But I guess 1348 01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,599 Speaker 1: that makes sense to someone. And sorry, I just I well, 1349 01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,799 Speaker 1: on Madison Avenue, you know, everyone dresses in cross dressing anyway, 1350 01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:08,760 Speaker 1: and I realized that on this show already, I've said 1351 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,960 Speaker 1: two incorrect things because a drag queen isn't a transgender 1352 01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,720 Speaker 1: right and so and I describe this person's transgender but 1353 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:17,400 Speaker 1: apparently this is just drag. And then I just said 1354 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,360 Speaker 1: cross dressing, which I imagine is totally offensive and beyond 1355 01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:22,240 Speaker 1: the pale, and that the lapd will be turning up 1356 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:25,479 Speaker 1: at my hotel room tonight to to take me in 1357 01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:29,160 Speaker 1: as it were. Dave, Dave, how far does this need 1358 01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,599 Speaker 1: to go? Because there's this I'm gonna I'm gonna say, 1359 01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:34,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something like, maybe a little controversial here, 1360 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:39,400 Speaker 1: but I think I think it was a better country when, um, 1361 01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,080 Speaker 1: when we did not have to know, we were not 1362 01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 1: required almost by law, um to know the difference between 1363 01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 1: trans drag, um, cross dresser, etc. You know, I mean, 1364 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,880 Speaker 1: all this, all this terminology. Hey, if people want to 1365 01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,200 Speaker 1: use this terminology, that's fine. That people want to know 1366 01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:01,840 Speaker 1: what it is, that's fine. But um, but setting the 1367 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:08,120 Speaker 1: bar at being in polite, acceptable society, virtuous society as 1368 01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:11,559 Speaker 1: having to kind of know and understand and embrace these things, 1369 01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 1: I think it's wrong. And your article, your article on 1370 01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:17,960 Speaker 1: human events today, I remember the line that made me 1371 01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:21,520 Speaker 1: before the most was close to the end the penultimate paragraph, 1372 01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:25,640 Speaker 1: you said, interestingly, the gradual cultural normalization of what was 1373 01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:29,680 Speaker 1: once the province of fetish and kink has accelerated, and 1374 01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,800 Speaker 1: rather than making culture more interesting and provocative, it's made 1375 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:37,080 Speaker 1: these wants taboo things utterly dull, commercialized and gratingly performative. 1376 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,639 Speaker 1: And I think that was that was the kicker, because 1377 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,200 Speaker 1: you've had Gillette doing it, You've had other companies doing it, 1378 01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,800 Speaker 1: and you know, there's an old Latin saying, Dave get 1379 01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,880 Speaker 1: go broke. When are these companies going to start seeing 1380 01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:52,720 Speaker 1: the bottom line eventualities of doing this stuff? Well, I 1381 01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,840 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, it's got to come soon. It 1382 01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:59,280 Speaker 1: really has to come soon, because because they all seemed 1383 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:03,160 Speaker 1: to be complete, um, they all seem to be completely um, 1384 01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,360 Speaker 1: you know, off the off the deep end until I mean, 1385 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:07,040 Speaker 1: you know how these things go. You know, it goes 1386 01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:10,439 Speaker 1: forever until it doesn't and then and then you know, 1387 01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,519 Speaker 1: and then you might you may see a see a ship. 1388 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:16,360 Speaker 1: But I think really they're they're they're so impervious to 1389 01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:20,719 Speaker 1: what the average person thinks because they see they see 1390 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:23,320 Speaker 1: they see us. Frankly, they see us as the animals 1391 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,960 Speaker 1: that uh, you know, who are um, who are not 1392 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:27,960 Speaker 1: even fit to hold an opinion. You know, if we 1393 01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 1: disagree with if we disagree with the most um, you know, 1394 01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:36,439 Speaker 1: you know, quote unquote forward thinking, progressive, radical, um, you know, 1395 01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:40,240 Speaker 1: social cultural policy, then then we're we're haters, and we're 1396 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 1: vicious and evil and and we shouldn't even you know, 1397 01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,920 Speaker 1: we we shouldn't even be given a platform in which 1398 01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:47,800 Speaker 1: to speak. So so of course they're not even going 1399 01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,519 Speaker 1: to listen to our objections or the objections of most 1400 01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,320 Speaker 1: of their customers. They'll they'll discounted entirely. UM. I mean, 1401 01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 1: what what this says about the future, I'm not sure. 1402 01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:59,240 Speaker 1: I think. I mean, I'm confident there will be a 1403 01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,760 Speaker 1: be a you know, some kind of backlash when this 1404 01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 1: just gets to be too much, because it is of 1405 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,639 Speaker 1: a piece with d platforming, It is of a piece 1406 01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:11,760 Speaker 1: with censorship, um and um and a sense that I 1407 01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:15,519 Speaker 1: mentioned the Caitlin Jenner episode in UM in the Peace 1408 01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:18,040 Speaker 1: also because I really think that that sort of that 1409 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:21,080 Speaker 1: was a turning point in twenty sixteen, I think early 1410 01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:27,240 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen where kind of culturally we went from thinking 1411 01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:30,880 Speaker 1: that the trans thing was a kind of weird, niche 1412 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,000 Speaker 1: thing that that you know, people did, um and and 1413 01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,200 Speaker 1: kind of overnight the media tells us that if we 1414 01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:39,280 Speaker 1: don't embrace this as the most wonderful um, you know, 1415 01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:44,280 Speaker 1: evolution in society. Then then we're some then we're monsters. Um. 1416 01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,800 Speaker 1: I think immediately a lot of people sort of looked 1417 01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:50,720 Speaker 1: around and they thought, what just happened to my country? 1418 01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,639 Speaker 1: And what just what just happened to you know, more importantly, 1419 01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:57,600 Speaker 1: like what just happened to my you know, Western civilization? 1420 01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:03,160 Speaker 1: And U well, you're not allowed to say that. No, no, 1421 01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:07,360 Speaker 1: you no, sure, you're certainly not allowed to say Western civilization. 1422 01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:11,519 Speaker 1: That's that's that's needlessly provocative. And you know, on the 1423 01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,240 Speaker 1: one hand, they tell us that it's the most evil 1424 01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:15,559 Speaker 1: thing in the world to say. On the other hand, 1425 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,640 Speaker 1: they tell us that it doesn't exist and it never did. Well, no, 1426 01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:20,840 Speaker 1: and on the third hand, because you know, if you 1427 01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:22,320 Speaker 1: can if a man can be a woman, and I 1428 01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 1: can have a third hand on the third hand, it's 1429 01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 1: a better than a third leg if on the third hand, 1430 01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:32,680 Speaker 1: that dave you. You've also got them saying, well, we've 1431 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,200 Speaker 1: got to let all these immigrants move to the West 1432 01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:37,599 Speaker 1: because the West is much better and safer and they 1433 01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:39,600 Speaker 1: get more rights and all of that. Well, you know 1434 01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:44,600 Speaker 1: that came about because Western civilization came first in realizing 1435 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,240 Speaker 1: that we weren't supposed to slaughter each other on mass 1436 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,200 Speaker 1: and that we weren't supposed to, you know, oppress each other. 1437 01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,800 Speaker 1: It's probably not a good idea to throw gay people 1438 01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:55,040 Speaker 1: off the top of buildings and all of that stuff, right, 1439 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 1: And and we're there and they still are in denial 1440 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:02,640 Speaker 1: about all of it. Right. Yeah. Look, I mean, you know, 1441 01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:06,680 Speaker 1: it's nothing lasts forever, and Dave, we got to We've 1442 01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:08,760 Speaker 1: got to leave it there.

It's you know, I don't go with 1471 01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:43,040 Speaker 1: this global editor type thing, but but it is, yes, 1472 01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:46,080 Speaker 1: editor in chief. I guess you could say domestic editor 1473 01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:49,760 Speaker 1: in chief. Then of the American Mind, which is a 1474 01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,680 Speaker 1: great new publication of the Claremont Institute. And full disclosure. 1475 01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 1: I'm a Lincoln Fellow at the Claremont Institute. It's American 1476 01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,800 Speaker 1: Mind dot org, where they postum some of the most 1477 01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:02,840 Speaker 1: thoughtful articles you'll ever read. But also I'm led to 1478 01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:06,479 Speaker 1: believe some of the spiciest articles based on what you're 1479 01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:08,519 Speaker 1: telling me. What you're telling me in the break about 1480 01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,519 Speaker 1: what you've been publishing today. We'll come to that in 1481 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:11,880 Speaker 1: just a second. I know we've got a caller on 1482 01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:15,400 Speaker 1: the line, Josiah in Maryland, who wants to have his say. Josiah, 1483 01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:21,040 Speaker 1: you're welcome to the show. Oh we lost Josiah. Josiah, 1484 01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,640 Speaker 1: if you're out there, if you're still listening, give us 1485 01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 1: a callback. We're very keen to take points, counterpoints, whatever 1486 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,120 Speaker 1: you've got for us. Matt, I guess that throws it 1487 01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:30,719 Speaker 1: to you. You highlighted for me this American Mind article 1488 01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:35,680 Speaker 1: of creed and culture in clown World, written by the 1489 01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:40,880 Speaker 1: pseudonymous Andrea Yang for the American Mind dot org. Tell 1490 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:42,760 Speaker 1: us about this article, is it? What are you talking about? 1491 01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:48,439 Speaker 1: This is a young conservative, someone who is was a 1492 01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:52,519 Speaker 1: young conservative, someone who's obviously very intelligent, who works within 1493 01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,920 Speaker 1: the swamp and is writing an article in response to 1494 01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:00,400 Speaker 1: a conversation on American mind about creed and culture, and 1495 01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 1: and what we were talking about was you both need 1496 01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:07,720 Speaker 1: a healthy culture and that informs the creed or what 1497 01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 1: you think the principles and purposes of your political life 1498 01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:13,360 Speaker 1: are right and vice versa. Those things interact with each other. 1499 01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:17,679 Speaker 1: And so so this article is someone who's younger saying, look, 1500 01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:21,960 Speaker 1: the right has has to acknowledge that it's essentially failed, 1501 01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:25,320 Speaker 1: it has not achieved its goals. And now we live 1502 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:28,679 Speaker 1: in a kind of clown world in which in which 1503 01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:30,519 Speaker 1: there's you know, it's a it's a it's a bunch 1504 01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:32,800 Speaker 1: of fun house mirrors everywhere you look, and it's very 1505 01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,439 Speaker 1: hard she says, as for me as a young person 1506 01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,040 Speaker 1: to take it serious and so uh. And so she 1507 01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:43,280 Speaker 1: ends up advocating for a radical rethinking of policy and 1508 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 1: in a way that I think is controversial to too 1509 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:47,639 Speaker 1: many of us. We were talking about this with David 1510 01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:51,120 Speaker 1: boy earlier in the in the hour, talking about how 1511 01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:54,120 Speaker 1: we've got to this point now where and because I 1512 01:24:54,280 --> 01:25:00,000 Speaker 1: mislabeled something the chips Ahoy cross dresser who was advertised 1513 01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:04,639 Speaker 1: cardboard cookies from Mother's Day, that's that's a cross dresser, 1514 01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,720 Speaker 1: and I said trans and apparently they're not the same thing. 1515 01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:12,360 Speaker 1: And so you know, it's that's what the what do 1516 01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:15,120 Speaker 1: you call it? The Hall of mirrors is about? Right, Like, 1517 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,240 Speaker 1: I'm confused on a daily basis now. And by the way, 1518 01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:20,120 Speaker 1: if I meet someone in the street, and I've got 1519 01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,600 Speaker 1: no problem, like you know, meeting a trans person and 1520 01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,719 Speaker 1: shaking their hand is going about my day. I don't 1521 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:26,920 Speaker 1: care what you want to do, right, But if I 1522 01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,400 Speaker 1: meet them and I wrongly label them or miss gender them, 1523 01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,880 Speaker 1: or call them a cross dresser or a transvesti or whatever, 1524 01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,599 Speaker 1: I'm in some real trouble now. I mean in Canada, 1525 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,200 Speaker 1: i'd be in real, real trouble. I'd be in legal trouble, right, 1526 01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:42,920 Speaker 1: But that's coming here to America. That's you know, the 1527 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,719 Speaker 1: Equality Act that Democrats are trying to pass at the moment. 1528 01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:50,240 Speaker 1: Basically undergods all of that with legislation. Yes, yeah, So 1529 01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:54,439 Speaker 1: what you have is is is clown world to be enforced, right, 1530 01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:59,120 Speaker 1: multiculturalism officially, and of course by that term, they don't 1531 01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:03,400 Speaker 1: mean many cultures coming together as one. They mean something 1532 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,880 Speaker 1: very different. And what she says in this piece I 1533 01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,720 Speaker 1: think is instructive. This is an American mind dot Org. 1534 01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:12,800 Speaker 1: She says, clown world is used to describe instances of 1535 01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:15,439 Speaker 1: abasement that at any other point in history to any 1536 01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:20,360 Speaker 1: person of dignity would be regarded as incomprehensible, incomprehensibly evil, 1537 01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:23,800 Speaker 1: or stupid, so outrageous they must be a joke. So 1538 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:27,800 Speaker 1: she says, state enforced sexual transition, hormones for children, right, 1539 01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:32,320 Speaker 1: drag Queen story hour, voting rights for terrorists, and says 1540 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,440 Speaker 1: this is Aristophanes with a shot of Nietzsche, some classical 1541 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:39,840 Speaker 1: allusions to those who still read old books. But then 1542 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,439 Speaker 1: she goes on to complain that you have woke capital, right, 1543 01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:45,640 Speaker 1: you have these supposed this supposedly neutral free market in 1544 01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:49,880 Speaker 1: which mainstream and powerful institutions, banks and airlines, etc. Are 1545 01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:53,080 Speaker 1: all getting in on political correctness and enforcing this kind 1546 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:55,479 Speaker 1: of dogma on the rest of us. And I think 1547 01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:58,320 Speaker 1: what's what's especially hateful to me about it is that 1548 01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,240 Speaker 1: is that the implication is if you don't keep up 1549 01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 1: with all these fads, you somehow don't love your fellow citizens, right, 1550 01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,679 Speaker 1: whereas the other side would say, no, we are one 1551 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:11,040 Speaker 1: and we're equal as citizens. That's that's how we should 1552 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,479 Speaker 1: all be interacting on that basis and not any other. 1553 01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:14,800 Speaker 1: That's how it used to be. And I've got to 1554 01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:16,840 Speaker 1: tell you that, you know, the European situation. How when 1555 01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:19,120 Speaker 1: was the last time you're in Europe, Matt? It was 1556 01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 1: the can Film Festival and twenty fourteen. Ever, Oh wow, 1557 01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,800 Speaker 1: I wish I wish I could say the same, not 1558 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:26,599 Speaker 1: least because I haven't been to can and that I've 1559 01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,439 Speaker 1: been back to both the UK and Europe in the 1560 01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,599 Speaker 1: last year on multiple occasions, and it's not getting better. 1561 01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:34,840 Speaker 1: The tooth based cannot be put back in the tube now, 1562 01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:38,559 Speaker 1: you know, once this stuff has been enshrined, as they're 1563 01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:40,080 Speaker 1: trying to do, as the Democrats are trying to do 1564 01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,360 Speaker 1: with the Equality Act right now, once this stuff has 1565 01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:46,480 Speaker 1: been tried, there is literally no way to say, actually, 1566 01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,759 Speaker 1: we're reversing that trend. We no longer have to legally 1567 01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 1: recognize all that way. It's just not possible, right. And 1568 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,519 Speaker 1: it's the same argument, unfortunately, that I hear from time 1569 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:56,960 Speaker 1: and time again from social conservatives. They say, oh, well, 1570 01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:58,800 Speaker 1: you know, we've got to reverse the Same Sex Marriage Act. 1571 01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,759 Speaker 1: Good luck with that. There is simply no national appetite 1572 01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:04,920 Speaker 1: for it. Yeah. Look, I think that I think there's 1573 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:06,680 Speaker 1: a there's a number of things going on. I mean, 1574 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,160 Speaker 1: all of this stuff should be hashed out politically, right, 1575 01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,719 Speaker 1: we should debate as a people what we think certain 1576 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,040 Speaker 1: the legal structure of the land should look like. So, uh, 1577 01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:18,479 Speaker 1: you know, there should be lots of deliberation and debate 1578 01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:23,040 Speaker 1: about controversial issue issues, especially to do with sexuality. But 1579 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,759 Speaker 1: but I do think that there's a there's a danger 1580 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 1: here in enforcing this kind of thing from on high. 1581 01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:32,320 Speaker 1: And I think there's many on the left to understand this. 1582 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:34,880 Speaker 1: When you when you rush to enforce things with say 1583 01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:39,360 Speaker 1: court decisions, you haven't organically changed everyone's mind. So I 1584 01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:43,200 Speaker 1: would say, you see among among Generation Z kids right, 1585 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:47,040 Speaker 1: a very interesting difference. They haven't they haven't gone through 1586 01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:50,320 Speaker 1: the normal brainwashing of the mainstream media and watch cable 1587 01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:52,720 Speaker 1: TV and etcetera their old lives, and they think a 1588 01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:55,760 Speaker 1: little differently, sometimes radically, on these subjects. So I think 1589 01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:58,840 Speaker 1: there's a conversation they say radically, Actually, yeah, it's not. 1590 01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:03,400 Speaker 1: It's actually considered they think conservatively. You know. The radical 1591 01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:07,559 Speaker 1: thing to me is forcing me to know somebody's twenty 1592 01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:09,960 Speaker 1: different gender pronouns that they want to use on the 1593 01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:12,559 Speaker 1: twelve different occasions I meet them. But these guys are 1594 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:16,400 Speaker 1: actually returning to a little bit of orthodoxy as regards um, 1595 01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,040 Speaker 1: you know, rights are concerned, Natural rights are concerned. And 1596 01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:22,639 Speaker 1: in the United States, of course, your constitutional values and rights, 1597 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,760 Speaker 1: whereas the the you know, the radical and and here's 1598 01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:27,920 Speaker 1: the funny thing about it, Matt, and we've got we've 1599 01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,240 Speaker 1: got just sixty seconds before we got to we've got 1600 01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,719 Speaker 1: to go to break again. But I just I can't 1601 01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:37,240 Speaker 1: tell if it's because America doesn't really consume news from 1602 01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:40,519 Speaker 1: elsewhere in the world, because it doesn't, you know, frankly, 1603 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:42,720 Speaker 1: it's not I'm not making a value judgment over that. 1604 01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:45,040 Speaker 1: It just isn't something that Americans typically tend to do. 1605 01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:47,200 Speaker 1: I can't tell if it's that or if it's just 1606 01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:51,439 Speaker 1: sort of this lack of dacicle. Yes, we'll survive any way, 1607 01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:53,759 Speaker 1: regardless as to whether or not things like the Equality 1608 01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:56,760 Speaker 1: Act pass. That means people don't get up in arms 1609 01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:58,320 Speaker 1: about this, because let me tell you something, if I 1610 01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:00,720 Speaker 1: was listening to this show, this radio show right now, 1611 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:03,679 Speaker 1: I'd be thinking, Wow, what a magnificent accent that Chap has. 1612 01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:06,600 Speaker 1: But I'd also be thinking, I want to call my congressman. 1613 01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:08,920 Speaker 1: I want to call my senators. I want to stop 1614 01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:10,880 Speaker 1: this from happening, and it just seems that there's not 1615 01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,000 Speaker 1: much of that going on right now. That's the music, 1616 01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:15,400 Speaker 1: you know. I like the sound of my own voice, Matt. 1617 01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:18,599 Speaker 1: So I'll just talk us out here. Yeah, I'm used 1618 01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:20,760 Speaker 1: to it. I'm used to it.

The reason I'm in town. 1633 01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:13,760 Speaker 1: One of the reasons I'm in town one of the 1634 01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:15,720 Speaker 1: one of the two reasons I'm in town one of 1635 01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:18,520 Speaker 1: the three if you count the women. One of the 1636 01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:20,920 Speaker 1: three reasons I'm in town is I was attending the 1637 01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:28,280 Speaker 1: Claremont Institute's fortieth anniversary Garla dinner on something night Saturday. Yeah, 1638 01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:30,120 Speaker 1: all of them blend into one for me now at 1639 01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:32,439 Speaker 1: the moment, you know, long l a night. Man, it's 1640 01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:35,439 Speaker 1: just like, you know, this looks West Palm Beach. I'm here, 1641 01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:37,360 Speaker 1: and I'm there, and I'm in DC and it's all 1642 01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:40,160 Speaker 1: hot and sticky and muggy, and it's just everything is 1643 01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:42,160 Speaker 1: now just one for me. So I was there on 1644 01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:46,000 Speaker 1: a night and Mike Pompeio, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo 1645 01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:48,360 Speaker 1: was the keynote speaker, which is quite a good get. 1646 01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 1: So muz Altov in the first in the first order 1647 01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,040 Speaker 1: on that conversation. But I want to get into what 1648 01:31:55,120 --> 01:32:00,120 Speaker 1: Secretary Pompeo said with you right now, because actually he 1649 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,439 Speaker 1: he gosh, I don't know how to quite say this. 1650 01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:06,280 Speaker 1: He flabbergasted a lot of the audience with his real 1651 01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:08,920 Speaker 1: conservative wokeness. I think, yes, I think there has been 1652 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,120 Speaker 1: some concern and consternation on the political right that Mike 1653 01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:16,080 Speaker 1: Pompeo has been chasing, this intervention in Venezuela, for instance. 1654 01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:19,080 Speaker 1: But tell us a little bit about the standout moments 1655 01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:22,120 Speaker 1: for you in that speech, and and then I'll tell 1656 01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:25,720 Speaker 1: you min Okay, sure. So first off, this this was 1657 01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:28,360 Speaker 1: the fortieth anniversary gallo right in Beverly Hills for the 1658 01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:31,200 Speaker 1: Claremont Institute, which exists to promote the principles of the 1659 01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:34,960 Speaker 1: American Founding in American political life today. As you might imagine, 1660 01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:38,000 Speaker 1: that's a difficult task. And the Claremont Institute is based 1661 01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:40,679 Speaker 1: in southern California to boot. So this was our big 1662 01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:42,680 Speaker 1: fortieth and to have the Secretary of State there was 1663 01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:45,960 Speaker 1: a great honor of Victor Davis. Hansen was MC. It 1664 01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:49,559 Speaker 1: was fantastic evening. But I think he actually really broke 1665 01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:53,400 Speaker 1: some news. Right. He gave an account for a Trumpian, 1666 01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:57,480 Speaker 1: if you will, foreign policy that was much less interventionist, 1667 01:32:57,520 --> 01:32:59,599 Speaker 1: I think than some of us might have thought. So 1668 01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:02,840 Speaker 1: he said that America after the Cold War quote, had 1669 01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:07,360 Speaker 1: become unrestrained, untethered from common sense. That he said, the 1670 01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:10,920 Speaker 1: institutions that we built to defend ourselves against the Soviet 1671 01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:14,840 Speaker 1: Union had drifted from their mission, right, um, and uh, 1672 01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,120 Speaker 1: And he said we ended up we bought into the 1673 01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:19,479 Speaker 1: trade agreements. He said that helped hallow out our own 1674 01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:23,519 Speaker 1: middle class. We sacrificed American competitiveness for accolades from the 1675 01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:27,280 Speaker 1: UN and climate activists, and we engaged in conflicts without 1676 01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:30,920 Speaker 1: a clear sense of mission. And then he said no more. Right. So, 1677 01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:33,320 Speaker 1: so I think that was that was very interesting. I 1678 01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:36,160 Speaker 1: believe that Walter Mead already is written on this, and 1679 01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:39,040 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal is saying this is about as 1680 01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:42,000 Speaker 1: comprehensive a statement you you might get or that's been 1681 01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,720 Speaker 1: written so far about Trump's foreign policy. Right. And he 1682 01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:49,000 Speaker 1: did say, quote, how about restraint. The Founders sought to 1683 01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:52,720 Speaker 1: protect our interests but avoid adventurism. And I think that 1684 01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:54,720 Speaker 1: was a very important part of the speech. It had me, 1685 01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, and you know what I'm like of these 1686 01:33:57,320 --> 01:33:59,000 Speaker 1: gladen is you know, I'm just trying to find where 1687 01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:02,200 Speaker 1: the balls of wine exactly what. But it even had 1688 01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:03,880 Speaker 1: me sort of at the age of my seat going, well, 1689 01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:06,240 Speaker 1: hold on a minute. This is very interesting because as 1690 01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:10,639 Speaker 1: the as the world waits with bated breath, um to 1691 01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:12,880 Speaker 1: to see what America does about Venezuela, you have the 1692 01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:17,439 Speaker 1: Secretary of State, the country's foremost diplomat, saying no to 1693 01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:21,360 Speaker 1: to military adventurism. Yeah. I think that I think that 1694 01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:23,800 Speaker 1: that is heartening for many of us who would like 1695 01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:27,160 Speaker 1: to see a reform of American foreign policy after the 1696 01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:31,479 Speaker 1: last fifteen twenty years. And uh, there's certainly a you know, 1697 01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:34,080 Speaker 1: you Davor boy on earlier. I mean, he's no stranger 1698 01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:37,600 Speaker 1: to these this sort of discussion. I think that it was. 1699 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,679 Speaker 1: It was a welcome talk. They were welcome comments from 1700 01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:43,200 Speaker 1: from many of us from the Secretary of State, um 1701 01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:46,680 Speaker 1: and and a real rejection of the kind of you know, 1702 01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:49,519 Speaker 1: globalism and the worst possible sense. And he was funny 1703 01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:51,320 Speaker 1: throughout that. I didn't think he was going to be funny, 1704 01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:53,320 Speaker 1: but he was funny as well. Yes, I want to 1705 01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:55,040 Speaker 1: I want to pivot real quick to a couple of 1706 01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:59,080 Speaker 1: the other issues he raised, one of them being, um, 1707 01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:05,160 Speaker 1: the Google censorship, right, the claim on institute itself experienced 1708 01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:07,320 Speaker 1: ahead of the Galla dinners. So you just explain you 1709 01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:10,360 Speaker 1: were trying to advertise ticket sales on Google and they 1710 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:13,200 Speaker 1: stopped you because of this essay on the site. Yeah. 1711 01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,840 Speaker 1: So we we we have this essay on the site 1712 01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:20,599 Speaker 1: called defend America defeat multiculturalism, which right away gets people's attention, 1713 01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? But what it's about is 1714 01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,920 Speaker 1: is how identity politics and political correctness are a very 1715 01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:31,320 Speaker 1: serious foe right now. They're actively destroying America. And one 1716 01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:33,840 Speaker 1: of the main problems we have is that they want 1717 01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:37,200 Speaker 1: to crush any kind of speech or dissent by saying 1718 01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:40,240 Speaker 1: it is off, it's off the books. Right, this is 1719 01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:42,960 Speaker 1: this is unacceptable, and this is acceptable, and we get 1720 01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,439 Speaker 1: to determine what's acceptable and not right. So that's part 1721 01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:47,799 Speaker 1: of the speech. Our president, Ryan Williams wrote this essay. 1722 01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:51,759 Speaker 1: It launched our campaign against multiculturalism going into the twenty 1723 01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:54,000 Speaker 1: twenty election. So anyway, we put this essay up and 1724 01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, we promote it, and we wanted that's on 1725 01:35:57,240 --> 01:35:59,600 Speaker 1: the site. But what we really wanted to promote was 1726 01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:02,120 Speaker 1: then we just had on Saturday in Beverly Hills with 1727 01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:04,800 Speaker 1: the Secretary of State. So the way Google works is 1728 01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:07,200 Speaker 1: you go to them and you say, look, I want everyone. 1729 01:36:07,520 --> 01:36:10,240 Speaker 1: They're tracking everything we do, right, they know everything about us. 1730 01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:13,559 Speaker 1: They track who goes to what website. So you say, look, 1731 01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:15,880 Speaker 1: I have this website and I'd like you to advertise 1732 01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:19,280 Speaker 1: everyone who goes to this website for our gala dinner. 1733 01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:22,479 Speaker 1: So please advertise all the audience of the American Mind, 1734 01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:24,800 Speaker 1: everyone who visits the American events behold them. That's six 1735 01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:28,040 Speaker 1: billion people exactly, and growing, I mean and growing, and 1736 01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,879 Speaker 1: with the pronatalist policies that I want us to adopt, 1737 01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:34,839 Speaker 1: they'll be even more. It's like human events were billions, billions, billions. 1738 01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:37,400 Speaker 1: So American Mind dot org, right, we advertise for it. 1739 01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:41,240 Speaker 1: For we advertise the readers of the site for the 1740 01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:43,800 Speaker 1: fortieth anniversary gala with Secretary Pompey. When we get an 1741 01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:47,120 Speaker 1: email from Google and it says, I'm sorry, we can't 1742 01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:50,280 Speaker 1: advertise to readers of this site because this site violates 1743 01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:55,479 Speaker 1: our policy on racial grounds. So we ask, after two 1744 01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:58,320 Speaker 1: hours with a large conglomerate, what exactly does it violate? Right, 1745 01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:03,839 Speaker 1: it violates the see because it's racially or ethnically orientated content. 1746 01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:06,439 Speaker 1: We called it. We said, is there any way to 1747 01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:08,720 Speaker 1: appeal this? And the lady on the phone said no, 1748 01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:12,920 Speaker 1: And so then uh Laurel does digital work at her office. 1749 01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:15,760 Speaker 1: She called again and the second time she heard that 1750 01:37:16,280 --> 01:37:18,200 Speaker 1: as they looked at the site. Though there's many, many 1751 01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:22,360 Speaker 1: potential violations, all over the American Mind. It's it's violations 1752 01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:25,559 Speaker 1: all over the place, right, and so so we thought, well, 1753 01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,120 Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. I mean, how can it be racially 1754 01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:31,759 Speaker 1: or ethnically orientated when our argument, in fact is against 1755 01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:35,040 Speaker 1: race based politics and tribalism. Yeah, well, hold on a minute. 1756 01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:37,200 Speaker 1: The name of the site though, the American Mind. That's 1757 01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:39,599 Speaker 1: kind of bigoted, in xenophobic. Well you know, what about 1758 01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:41,920 Speaker 1: the what about the Tonguan mind? You know, why don't 1759 01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:45,120 Speaker 1: you have a subcategory for for the Nepalese mind? Yes, 1760 01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:48,280 Speaker 1: you know, the Madagascon mind and for the more I mean, 1761 01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:50,960 Speaker 1: isn't isn't mind? I mean kind of discriminatory. I mean 1762 01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:53,839 Speaker 1: it's disable. What about those who don't have a mind? Exactly? 1763 01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:56,880 Speaker 1: It's it's a disabled list. You're you're offending people, this 1764 01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:59,800 Speaker 1: is true, who are vegetables and cannot think, you know, 1765 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:03,000 Speaker 1: for themselves. This is outrageous. Yeah, you've got to change 1766 01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:08,000 Speaker 1: the website to just the dot org okay, and put 1767 01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:10,680 Speaker 1: on it exactly what Google wants us to put up, yes, 1768 01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,840 Speaker 1: which is just a link to Google. So so I'll 1769 01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:16,120 Speaker 1: finish this story, right. I mean, we put out we 1770 01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:19,439 Speaker 1: question twice and we get nowhere. There's no appeal, and 1771 01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:22,360 Speaker 1: there's many violations. But Ryan wrote an article. We put 1772 01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:24,240 Speaker 1: it up on the American Mine and within forty within 1773 01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:27,800 Speaker 1: twenty four hours, Google had called us up and said, 1774 01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,280 Speaker 1: you know, we apologize. This was a mistake somewhere down 1775 01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:34,200 Speaker 1: the line all a big mistake. Mistakes were made, Mistakes 1776 01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:36,519 Speaker 1: were made. You know, they do this with me all 1777 01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:38,519 Speaker 1: the time, and earlier on and you heard me read 1778 01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:42,000 Speaker 1: that Facebook email. How you've been through it multiple I've 1779 01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:44,320 Speaker 1: been through it multiple times, and every single time it's 1780 01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:47,040 Speaker 1: either oh it was a mistake or oh it's only 1781 01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:49,479 Speaker 1: a temporary thing. You'll be all right, pat on the head, 1782 01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:52,280 Speaker 1: off you go. But there are there are hundreds and 1783 01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:54,519 Speaker 1: dare i say thousands of people who want a daily 1784 01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:58,280 Speaker 1: basis across America having their accounts band for expressing moderate 1785 01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:02,320 Speaker 1: even conservative opinions. And there are big names and people 1786 01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:05,760 Speaker 1: with millions upon millions of followers or millions in reach 1787 01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:08,479 Speaker 1: who are becoming you know, who are being slaughtered off 1788 01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:14,519 Speaker 1: these platforms. Is this election meddling? Well say I would, 1789 01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:18,320 Speaker 1: I would put it. I can go to break. I'm 1790 01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:20,040 Speaker 1: not just gonna say whatever you want me to say. 1791 01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:28,040 Speaker 1: Google clearly clearly, anytime you manipulate the media that has 1792 01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:31,200 Speaker 1: that has an impact on elections. And I think what 1793 01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:34,520 Speaker 1: the Republicans need to understand, as my new friend Harmy 1794 01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 1: Dylan says a lawyer on this issue, is very good. 1795 01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:40,559 Speaker 1: They have the power to make sure you never win 1796 01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:44,439 Speaker 1: a national election again. Yeah, I mean that power actually exists, right, 1797 01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:46,880 Speaker 1: So the question is how is that power going to 1798 01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:49,479 Speaker 1: be used? And at the very least, there's all kinds 1799 01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:51,479 Speaker 1: of complications here and things that we might do to 1800 01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:54,600 Speaker 1: solve this problem. But at the very least, we have 1801 01:39:54,800 --> 01:39:58,280 Speaker 1: to push back and help people push back when they 1802 01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:00,960 Speaker 1: are silenced. And if we don't that, I mean, it's 1803 01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:02,800 Speaker 1: it's it's going to move in one direction, and we 1804 01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:04,840 Speaker 1: know what direction that is. In any event, it was 1805 01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,280 Speaker 1: great that the Secretary of State actually made in our 1806 01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:09,680 Speaker 1: hand remark. You know, this is this is actually really good. 1807 01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:11,360 Speaker 1: We've got to do this more in the in the future. 1808 01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:13,080 Speaker 1: I've got to fly out to a later co host 1809 01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:16,360 Speaker 1: radio show. Yes, so this is this is top quality banter, 1810 01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:20,559 Speaker 1: political banter at its finest. Matt Peterson, the Vice Vice 1811 01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:22,760 Speaker 1: president for Education at the claimant issue, maybe better after 1812 01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:26,320 Speaker 1: a drink, well suit up.

What is the solution to this tech 1825 01:40:56,800 --> 01:41:01,320 Speaker 1: censorship thing? Because I am tired of these boomers establishment 1826 01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:04,679 Speaker 1: conservative in conservatives going you can't touch the free market 1827 01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:07,599 Speaker 1: the Facebook, it's a private company. We're gonna we're gonna 1828 01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:11,200 Speaker 1: dissect that right here on the Buck Sexton Show. I'm 1829 01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:22,680 Speaker 1: Raheem Kassam.

Um, 1843 01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:13,720 Speaker 1: And I'm just very very grateful for them, and I'm 1844 01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:15,519 Speaker 1: grateful for you guys out there. If you like the show, 1845 01:42:15,680 --> 01:42:18,599 Speaker 1: tweet at me, tweet at Buck Sexton. I'm at Raheem Ghassan. 1846 01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:21,560 Speaker 1: It's rah e E M K A s A M 1847 01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:24,680 Speaker 1: on Twitter. Let us let us know what you think, um, 1848 01:42:25,439 --> 01:42:27,640 Speaker 1: and if you don't like it, you can shove it. 1849 01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:31,920 Speaker 1: But but you don't you don't like it, you love it. Um, 1850 01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:33,840 Speaker 1: that's a that's a Weezer line. It's from the song 1851 01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:36,880 Speaker 1: the Greatest Man That Ever Lived? Did you know that? Wow? Yeah, 1852 01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:39,080 Speaker 1: you know. I was thinking of an earlier song from 1853 01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:40,760 Speaker 1: a long time ago. Take this job and show it, 1854 01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:43,839 Speaker 1: you know, classic kind of country and Western. And Weser 1855 01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:45,720 Speaker 1: also wrote the song Beverly Hills, which is where I've 1856 01:42:45,720 --> 01:42:47,280 Speaker 1: spent the last couple of days. So just bringing it 1857 01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:50,599 Speaker 1: full circle, that is correct, like any great radio host does. Yes, 1858 01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:54,360 Speaker 1: ties together exactly latest news and last a couple of hours, 1859 01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:58,080 Speaker 1: Richard Burr relents on the Trump Junior subpoena, agrees to 1860 01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:01,400 Speaker 1: strict limits on scope and the length of the interview. 1861 01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:04,479 Speaker 1: So it looks like all the pressure that Conservatives put 1862 01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:06,920 Speaker 1: on Senator Richard Burr over the last few days paying 1863 01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:10,240 Speaker 1: off for Donald Junior, who's already spent hours upon hours 1864 01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:13,800 Speaker 1: upon hours testifying front of the Senate Intelligence Committee. And 1865 01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:16,479 Speaker 1: of course, yesterday the great news that came out Bill 1866 01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:19,840 Speaker 1: Barr appointing a prosecutor to examine the origins of the 1867 01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:24,400 Speaker 1: Russia conspiracy theory probe. I have a feeling things are 1868 01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:28,400 Speaker 1: going to get very, very difficult for Jim Comey and 1869 01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:35,200 Speaker 1: Clapper and even Barack Obama to some extent with the 1870 01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:37,600 Speaker 1: with you know, how how much did the President of 1871 01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:39,880 Speaker 1: the United States at the time know was going on 1872 01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:42,280 Speaker 1: with regard this this These fires are warrants? What was 1873 01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:45,120 Speaker 1: going on all there? So really really sort of sexy 1874 01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:47,600 Speaker 1: and interesting times in American politics. And I've got to 1875 01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:48,960 Speaker 1: tell you, Matt, and I wonder if you feel the 1876 01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:52,360 Speaker 1: same way. I am kind of getting tired of winning. Yeah, 1877 01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:57,600 Speaker 1: I love this tiredness. Then I love this kind of 1878 01:43:57,640 --> 01:44:01,440 Speaker 1: tired We need more of it. And the slow, inexorable 1879 01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:04,680 Speaker 1: turn of the collusion the story has been really a 1880 01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:07,600 Speaker 1: wonderful thing to witness and see right, I mean, we 1881 01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:11,120 Speaker 1: crossed a point of diminishing returns after the Mulla report, 1882 01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:13,800 Speaker 1: and now you see the wheels starting to come off. 1883 01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:16,240 Speaker 1: And as long as the right thing happens, which is 1884 01:44:16,320 --> 01:44:19,320 Speaker 1: that pressure is put on this story, that the Attorney 1885 01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:22,240 Speaker 1: General goes after it, you're going to see all kinds 1886 01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:24,160 Speaker 1: of good results. I mean, I like to say that 1887 01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:28,120 Speaker 1: these days, CNN is the Ivy League version of info Wars. 1888 01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:30,679 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we're at the point at which 1889 01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:34,560 Speaker 1: mainstream media is peddling all kinds of wild stories and 1890 01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:36,560 Speaker 1: they're going to pay for it. Ratings wise in the 1891 01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:39,679 Speaker 1: next two years, just to bring us back to something 1892 01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:41,600 Speaker 1: we're not winning on at the moment. It appears to 1893 01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:44,200 Speaker 1: be the tech and digital media stuff, right. And we 1894 01:44:44,320 --> 01:44:48,920 Speaker 1: talked before the break about the free markets response to this. 1895 01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:50,920 Speaker 1: Where where do you stand? I don't know if you 1896 01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:53,200 Speaker 1: speak for the Clamalton Institute when you talk about this, 1897 01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:57,360 Speaker 1: but where do you stand Matt Peterson on this issue? 1898 01:44:57,400 --> 01:45:00,960 Speaker 1: How do you address the sort of mainstream conservatives like 1899 01:45:01,040 --> 01:45:03,160 Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro who go out there and say you don't 1900 01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:06,040 Speaker 1: have a right to platform access? Yeah, well, well I 1901 01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:08,080 Speaker 1: can speak I mean both as vice president of education 1902 01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:10,519 Speaker 1: at the Claremont Institute, where we have these wonderful fellowships 1903 01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:13,400 Speaker 1: where we do educate elite leaders, and as an editor 1904 01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:16,080 Speaker 1: of The American Mind. I think this is an important 1905 01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:19,400 Speaker 1: discussion that needs to happen. It's a complicated issue. And 1906 01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:22,360 Speaker 1: if you'd simply say, oh, no, there's nothing you can do, 1907 01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:24,280 Speaker 1: it's a private company, I think you're living in a 1908 01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:27,200 Speaker 1: fantasy world. I mean, I don't know what kind of 1909 01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, cartoon world it is, where oh, there's just 1910 01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,519 Speaker 1: free markets and these businesses do whatever they want. No. No, 1911 01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,280 Speaker 1: At the very least you'd have consumer unions, right, I mean, 1912 01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:38,400 Speaker 1: I've been talking to some friends about this. At least 1913 01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:40,960 Speaker 1: you'd have a nonprofit that holds these people accountable. But 1914 01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:45,120 Speaker 1: there's all kinds of legal regulation all throughout permeating this 1915 01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:49,360 Speaker 1: supposably free market. And you know, we need to take 1916 01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:52,519 Speaker 1: this very seriously. Yeah, Conservatives haven't actually done a great 1917 01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:56,639 Speaker 1: job of keeping regulation out of a lot of markets, 1918 01:45:56,880 --> 01:45:59,200 Speaker 1: but on this one they seem to be drawing a line. 1919 01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:01,120 Speaker 1: And I don't mean people like you and I we're 1920 01:46:01,160 --> 01:46:04,720 Speaker 1: the good conservatives. I mean I mean the ones who 1921 01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:07,960 Speaker 1: are are clinging on to this sort of Koch Brothers mentality, 1922 01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:11,160 Speaker 1: Cato Institute permeated. You know, we've just got to take 1923 01:46:11,240 --> 01:46:13,880 Speaker 1: our lumps on digital media. They don't seem to be 1924 01:46:13,920 --> 01:46:18,040 Speaker 1: assailing other regulations as firmly or at least supporting this. 1925 01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:22,680 Speaker 1: This stuff is as anywhere else, doesn't make logical. You know, 1926 01:46:23,240 --> 01:46:24,920 Speaker 1: are they in the pay of these people? I don't 1927 01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:28,799 Speaker 1: know what's going on. They're scared of Facebook. I'm there's 1928 01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:30,759 Speaker 1: a few things going on. I mean, one is certainly 1929 01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:34,479 Speaker 1: there are legitimate, you know, questions about you wouldn't say, 1930 01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:37,240 Speaker 1: for instance, oh, we'll just solve this problem by having 1931 01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:39,720 Speaker 1: the government regulate everything, right. I mean, that's not a 1932 01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:43,760 Speaker 1: viable solution either. There's legitimate concerns about regulation. But it 1933 01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:46,960 Speaker 1: is true that some people treat this issue differently because 1934 01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:49,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of tech money that goes to conservatives. 1935 01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:52,240 Speaker 1: That is part of it. And also it's a it's 1936 01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:55,160 Speaker 1: an ideological thing. They're stuck in the nineteen eighties kind 1937 01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:57,599 Speaker 1: of rhetoric and they're not looking at the present day reality. 1938 01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:00,800 Speaker 1: Old rhetoric doesn't meet today's reality.
