1 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hudge, massive protests in France 2 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: that look to put some difficulties into enacting the green 3 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: agenda of President Matt Kron. What does this tell us 4 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: about big government and environmentalist whackos here at home and 5 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: the rise of socialist among the Democrats. We'll talk about 6 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: that a much more coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. 7 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 8 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence, 9 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: What magnor mistake American? You're a great American? Again, the 10 00:00:48,880 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, remember no, welcome to the 11 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Hundreds of thousands of protesters weeks now 12 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: of this in France, and you might be saying, well, Buck, 13 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: what does France have to teach us about anything? We'll 14 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: let me tell you a few things. One if France, 15 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: as you know, is more of a democratic socialist country 16 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: than we are, though not that much more to the French. 17 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: The Europeans in general, but also the French in particular, 18 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: are very into their social welfare state and their benefits 19 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: and their government interventions. And also the green movements. Remember 20 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: it is the Paris Climate Accords that President Obama was 21 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: so very, very proud of. It is the French and 22 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: the Europeans who were said to be leading the way 23 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: on the environment. Well, it's a very important lesson as 24 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: these protesters are battling an out with French police on 25 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: the streets of major cities across that whole country. And 26 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: the lesson is summarized as follows. When people who are 27 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: having a hard enough time paying their bills are told 28 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: that they're going to have to pay even more for 29 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: gas and yes, other goods that are made with or 30 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: transported with gas with oil because of the need to 31 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: fight climate change, those people tend to get pretty annoyed. 32 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: And that's what's happening right now in France. The way 33 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: the media is reporting on this is just classic, instead 34 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: of making it clear to your casual observer that this 35 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: is really a reaction to the ineffectual bureaucraticism of Emmanuel Makran, 36 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: who was the centrist left favorite candidate of the elites 37 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: and of the establishment in the most recent election. This 38 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: is somebody who is supposed to be a political tacticians, 39 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: supposed to understand markets, supposed to know how to engage 40 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: in good governance. This is what the state is so 41 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: always say they want they want someone who is calm, 42 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: cool and collected, has the right views and understands systems 43 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: and bureaucracies well enough to implement them. It's really the 44 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: progressive dream in this country, mc kroll. It's kind of 45 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: like Beato, except mc crals actually had to earn a living. 46 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: From what I understand, Beato just got to marry a billionaire. 47 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: That's a fun job. I should I should try that 48 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: job that I'm going to marry a billionaire routine. Nonetheless, 49 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: you have these yellow jackets, no relation to the bees. 50 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: It is because they are in fact wearing these high 51 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: visibility jackets as a symbol of their of their protests 52 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: in France. And they're running around and they're very upset, 53 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: and they're upset because mac kroll, in his infinite wisdom sarcasm, 54 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: has raised the price of a gas producer. Mike, what 55 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: is it now? You said right before we came on, 56 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: seven dollars seven dollars a gallon? Right now in the 57 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: US there are a number of states with gas stations 58 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: with at least one gas station. Heard this today on 59 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: Fox Business. I think you're at under under two dollars 60 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: a gallon. You're paying seven dollars a gallon for gas 61 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: in France and they just added a thirty cent per 62 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: gallon climate change fighting tax. And then there's a fight, 63 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: as this always happens, right, they take the money and 64 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: just parallel all the things I'm talking about. The Democrats 65 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: in this country are basically the French political establishment in 66 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: their own country. Right. The Democrats here mirror image everything 67 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: that the French political establishment wants that the European elites won. 68 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: In fact, democrats in this country often point to countries 69 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: like France but more soda, Denmark and Sweden with their 70 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: massive social welfare state, their tremendous government intervention in the markets. 71 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: They see, we could do it like them. And this 72 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: is always the response to look at Venezuela, it's a 73 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: socialist hellscape. Now they say, well look at ten market. 74 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 1: I say, okay, well, let's let's look at these places. 75 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: Let's look at what's going on in France and sure 76 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: off on the issue of climate change. People who are 77 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: having a hard time don't want to be told they 78 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: have to pay more money in a way that's really 79 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: going to affect them. It's really money out of their 80 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: pocket because there's a need to fight climate change. This 81 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: climate change thing really is some kind of a mental 82 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,559 Speaker 1: illness at this point. I the fight climate change, how why? 83 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: Because we're going to stop the temperature from being raised 84 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: one degree or two in a hundred years. Does anybody 85 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: really think the different technologies we use today for energy 86 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: are going to be the same in twenty years, in 87 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: five years. Does anyone really think that there's a human 88 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: being alive today who knows what a modern economy looks like, 89 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: how it functions, what it's right. Think back, I think 90 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: back seventy years from where we are right now, and 91 00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: then look seventy years in the future. I don't think 92 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: anybody could have imagined if if they were to go 93 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: back to nineteen fifty, that I'd be sitting here talking 94 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: to you while I have, you know, a computer. I 95 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: have two computers, one on my desk, one in my hand, 96 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: my phone, both of which are more powerful. Either which 97 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: more powerful than all the computing power of the entire 98 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: modern world. Right, I mean, you know that's we have 99 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: changed so dramatically. Mean this idea they can project in 100 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: the future. This is why that climate change report that 101 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: came out last week or the week before it was 102 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: just such nonsense. It's look at the most dire prediction possible, 103 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: look seventy years out in the future, and and then 104 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: tell us that we need to change our lives now. No, 105 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: and the French have had enough. They're they're up at 106 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: arms about this, and some of these protests got really nasty. 107 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: Mean now there's there's footage you can see it. It's 108 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: tear gas and there protests are getting beat with batons. 109 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean, they're really going after the cops. Some woman 110 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: was an elderly woman was killed. You actually got hit 111 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: by a tear gas canister in her home. But you know, 112 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: these protests are ugly, and there's they're vandalizing the Arc 113 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: de Triomphe, you know, up there with the Eiffel Towers, 114 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: the most famous and visible symbols of all of France. 115 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is really combustible stuff there. And do 116 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: you know who's the most upset by this? I mean, 117 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: do you know who's at the core of the so 118 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: called yellow jacket movement in France? People who don't make 119 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: so little that they qualify for government assistance, but don't 120 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: make enough that they can pay their bills. Kind of 121 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: reminds you of the people that don't like Obamacare in 122 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: this country, right, not enough that you get free stuff 123 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: for subsidies you know you got you've got too much 124 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: money for that, but not enough that you can comfortably 125 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: pay your bills and be independent, even though you're working, 126 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: even though you're producing, even though you're being a productive 127 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: member of society. You know, the government can make things 128 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 1: just too hard. The government is not always helpful. In fact, 129 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: that government is generally unhelpful when it comes to you 130 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: paying your bills. The government wants to take from you. 131 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: It is not assisting you in paying your bills. And 132 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: the French people know this, and you know this is 133 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: the group. Also, I would note that in a in 134 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: a social socialist democrat or democrat socialist, all the same 135 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: crap state, the people that really suffer the most are 136 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: those who are struggling but working. They're the ones who 137 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: really suffer. And you see this and with the Occasio 138 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: Cortez and the Bernie Sanders just mythology. I mean, they're 139 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: either so bad at math that they can't be very smart, 140 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: or they're just kind of being cynical and really lying 141 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: to all of us all the time. Because this idea 142 00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: that the numbers can work out. It's just flatly, simply 143 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: not true. It is inaccurate to pretend that all you 144 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: have to do is have the rich pay for the 145 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: kinds of programs that people want in France to fight 146 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: climate change, an issue that shouldn't even be under discussion. 147 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: I mean, this is just nonsense. Fight climate change. You 148 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: know that. You know that they push fighting climate change 149 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: to justify the gas tax raise. And then the media 150 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: in this country is saying, oh, that it's just because 151 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: gas prices are going up, that's why they're riding. No, 152 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: they're forcing. This is just like what Obama want to do. 153 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: Remember you know electricity prices will skyrocket. That's what Obama said. 154 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,599 Speaker 1: This is what they want to do. This is destructive 155 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: to productivity, This is destructive to wealth. But they think 156 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: they're so smart they know better than you, whether it's 157 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: Matt kran or Obama or Sanders or you name it, 158 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: that the pain that you have to suffer and the 159 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: private property that the state is appropriating from you, stealing 160 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: from you, the theft that's occurring under the guise of 161 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: combating an imaginary foe climate change that's going to melt 162 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: the world, that upsets people, right, It upsets people when 163 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: this happens, and that the theory that the people that 164 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: are making these decisions are so smart, so much better 165 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: than all the rest of us, that they know better, 166 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: and that your suffering doesn't matter, Your pain at the 167 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: pump for your gas or just trying to pay your 168 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: bills doesn't really matter because they've got something bigger and 169 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: better in mind. That is the root fallacy from which 170 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,479 Speaker 1: all the rest of socialism's misery grows. That collectivist impulse 171 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: Oh okay, well this is gonna this is gonna harm 172 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: some people, but it's gonna be better in the long run, 173 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: and we know better, so we're just gonna do this thing. No, no, 174 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: this is this is state intrusion into the market. This 175 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: is the state involving self in ways that is just damaging. 176 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: There's no offsetting gain here. This is not oh, we 177 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: need taxes for a military. This is some of us 178 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: have this idea and we want the people to fund it. 179 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: And the elites don't really care about this, because you know, 180 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: the real difference in society that you get from those 181 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: who are working in those who are don't have to 182 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: care about these democratic socialist policies are. You know, the 183 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: people that a little more or a little less money 184 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: doesn't really change their lifestyle. You know, their taxes go up, 185 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: a little bit down a little bit doesn't affect them, 186 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: versus people with taxes going up or down means they're 187 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: going into debt or not. They can get that house 188 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: payment down or not, they can send their kid maybe 189 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: to school or not. I mean, it really matters. And 190 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: so when you look at these protests in France, I 191 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: mean it's it's I think a warning of what is 192 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: to come in this country because when people start to 193 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: understand what the real costs of these very appealing slogans. 194 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: Remember Thomas Soul, the great part about socialism is that 195 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: it sounds good. The bad part about socialism is that 196 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't freaking work. And in France, you know, they 197 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: they tend now, they're tending toward bigger government, raising taxes, 198 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: doing these things. And sure enough, you know people, Yeah, 199 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: combatant climate chain sounds great until you actually have to 200 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: pay some money in combatant Then you realize it's all 201 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: a big joke. You don't want to do it anymore. 202 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: So I understand the frustration of these yellow jacket protesters 203 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: by the way, it's they're far left and far right, 204 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: as I understand that they're represented in this. This is 205 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: an uprising of everyday folks. This is an uprising of people, 206 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: a political insurgency of people who recognize that the French 207 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: state is messing up. They want mccron to stop, to 208 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: step down. They're sick of this ineptitude on display from 209 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: the government. The government isn't giving them, is making promises 210 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: that it can't follow through on. People's taxes keep going up. 211 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: The taxes people can keep going up. Their quality of 212 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: life is going down, their expenses are going up all 213 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: the time. You know, remember the current generation of youth 214 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: activist types, you know, people in their twenties and their thirties. 215 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: They're the ones who are just realizing, oh, the modern 216 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: welfare state as we know it. Those bills are really 217 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: just coming due ten twenty thirty years from now, and 218 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: these states to meet their obligations are going to have 219 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: a crushing tax burden on the youth. I hate to 220 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: say it, but you know, like the boomers in this 221 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: country of kind of looted the national treasury, and the 222 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: future generations the ones that have to make up for 223 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: the shortfall. That's just the truth. In the French and 224 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: European states, they're realizing they've got the same problem that 225 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: have enough young people working, that have enough people paying 226 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: in and you can raise taxes and raise taxes, and 227 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: they created this millionaire's tax was a disaster because they're 228 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: really rich. People just leave this is there's there's something 229 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: going on to you, there's something very troubling about this, 230 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: this movement in France because it's also coming out of time, 231 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: just like how they point to the rise of nationalism 232 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: in Europe and Trump and you know, oh gosh, there's 233 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: a correlation between this discontent and the recognition that the 234 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: social democrat state in Europe is crumbling and also doesn't 235 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: give people a sense of purpose and isn't culturally vibrant 236 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: enough to sustain itself over the long term, especially with 237 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: large amounts of immigration coming from very disparate cultures. There's 238 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: echoes of what's going on here in this country with 239 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: the rise of socialist movements. All right, I have to 240 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: I've am passionate about this stuff. We'll get into more 241 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: of this um and uh, you know, I just I 242 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: find that so I apologize by other guys as you 243 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: can tell them I'm coming down with a cold, so 244 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: my voice is it's going to be a little to 245 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: be a little sketchy during the show today, I'm trying 246 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: to drink as much teas as they possibly can. But 247 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: these these socialists in Europe versus the socialists here, they're 248 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: going to have a very big problem to deal with them. 249 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: That is, they're creating this sense of impending utopia, but 250 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: they're telling me, they're not talking about how we're going 251 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: to pay for this. And once, you know, once they 252 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: if they get into powers they have in Europe as 253 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: they have in France, if they get into power here, 254 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: if in twenty twenty we have the rise of social 255 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: socialist democrats in America and in a more open fashion, um, 256 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot of discontent similar to 257 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: what's happening on the streets of Paris and across France. 258 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: Because we don't have the money to pay for this. 259 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: We've got a lot more show comments.

We 279 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: hope that the protests will change things. The rising cost 280 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: of fuel is going to trigger a civil war, and 281 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: I like amongst of the citizens we are already we're 282 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: fed up with paying so much all the time. It's 283 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: become the new normal. By paying so much, it's just 284 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: not possible anymore, that's right, a bunch of French people, 285 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: one hundreds of thousands. By the way, the support for this, 286 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: just so you know that I'm not This isn't like 287 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: some little small group of radicals. The support for these 288 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: yellow vest protests that they've been able to measure via 289 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: polling in France is like seventy to eighty so most 290 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: of the country, a huge majority of the country supports this. 291 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: They're saying, these guys are right, this is bull crap. 292 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: What's going on? And you hear are these French people 293 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: that any who are saying they're taxing is too much, 294 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: They're taking too much of our stuff. Remember in this country, 295 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: we started a revolution because the man was taking too 296 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: much of our stuff. In fact, also the man had 297 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: given a monopoly for the East India Company with tea. 298 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: But the man was taking too much of our stuff, 299 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: eating out our substance. I believe from the Declaration of 300 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: Independence is the verbiage used. People don't like it when 301 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: the state is getting too greedy, and the state in 302 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: France isn't just getting greedy, it's delusional. You're gonna start 303 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: taking people's money to fight climate change. This is like saying, Hey, 304 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 1: I've got an idea. Let's have a forced collection of 305 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: citizens where we take money from them and then we 306 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: make a big bonfire and light it on fire. Yeah, 307 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: that sounds like a great idea. That's what they're doing 308 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: in France under the guy's a climate change. This movement 309 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: has given rise to major demonstrations and also unacceptable violence. 310 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: I have understanding for these fellow citizens, but I will 311 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: not give anything to those who want destruction and disorder, 312 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: because the republic is both public order and the free 313 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: expression of opinions. It's not quite as a not quite 314 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: as catchy when the translator, as I say, but that 315 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: was Emmanuel Macron, Emmanuel Macron, who is saying, of course, 316 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, the violence is bad, but he has simply 317 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: for the people, blah blah, all the things you would expect. 318 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: This is what's happening, is that the the in the modern, 319 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: the modern social democrat state, he's running into the issue 320 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: of how do we pay for all this stuff? And 321 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: how does unsustainable debt get handled? I mean, this is 322 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: where you also have Occasio Cortez say, yeah, let's just 323 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 1: spend thirty trillion dollars, want to make it one hundred trillion. 324 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: The people that are pushing these policies don't understand what 325 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: these kinds of numbers would do to the overall economy. 326 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: They just don't have enough of an understanding of how 327 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: this would affect the private sector, the pressures this would 328 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: put on investment, on hiring, on innovation, on productivity, on 329 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: doing stuff that people want. I mean that the basis 330 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: of commerce. You know, there can be a level at 331 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: which it is just simply too much, and we're quickly 332 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: approaching that. But there is a really interesting piece and 333 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: made me think of all this over the weekend, called 334 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: the tax the rich delusion of the Democratic Left by 335 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: this guy Brian reedal Ever, hear anyone left spell out 336 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: exactly how they're going to pay for Medicare for all, 337 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: free college and the rest didn't think so, And he 338 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: just he just crunches the numbers. And it's not really 339 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: that hard and exercise to do. And remember, you've got 340 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: people rioting on the streets of major French cities, defacing 341 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: the arc that we offen, squaring off in pitch street 342 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: battles with riot police, and it's because of a raise 343 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: in the gas tax. Now, and you have widespread national 344 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: support for the people that are doing this right, I 345 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: love in the media says raising gas prices. No, it's 346 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: the government camelot, it's exactly. It's essentially a carbon tax, 347 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: that's all it is. It's the French version of a 348 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: carbon tax. It's okay, we don't like CO two in 349 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: the air, so we're gonna tax it. You know, you 350 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: tax more of it, you get less of it. That's 351 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: the idea. It's it's a punitive tax for the environment. 352 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: And people are already struggling and they're like the environment. Really, 353 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: he's just gonna make everything more expensive so we can 354 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: all what have you know, solar panels on our rooftops everywhere. 355 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: Whenever I make jokes about solar those two with solar 356 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: panels live in Arizona or something that always write me a 357 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: a book. My solar panels are great. I'm sure they are. 358 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: I'm just saying when you start to look at the numbers, 359 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: here's here's what really comes into comes into stark relief 360 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: right away. Here's what he writes. Quote, let's again with 361 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: income taxes. Remember this is to pay for all the 362 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: stuff that the social democrats want in Europe, and in 363 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: this case, this is to pay for the Occasio Cortez 364 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: Sanders war in wing of the Democrat Party. Free college, 365 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: free healthcare. What else is free? There's something else that 366 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm missing. Now those are the big ones. Free college, 367 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: free healthcare, other free stuff too. They'll figure that out 368 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: in time. When you start to look at it, it it 369 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: gets scary, though. Here you go. Let's begin with income taxes, 370 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: he writes. Imagine one hundred percent tax rates on all 371 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: income earned over the one million dollar threshold. That's politically impossible, 372 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: but for the sake of argument, imagine it. Even that 373 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: would add just five percent of GDP and revenues until 374 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: people quickly stopped working at that income. Slightly more realistically, 375 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: doubling the top tax two taps brackets to seventy and 376 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: seventy four percent would raise at best one point six 377 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: percent of GDP. Show you might say, okay, Bucky raised 378 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: one point six percent of GDP and taxes to deal 379 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: with things, all right, So let's now look at what 380 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: it would cost. When you look at what it would cost, 381 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: you find out that even if the twenty seventeen and 382 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen tax cuts in defense spending hikes expired, The 383 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,959 Speaker 1: CBO projects a baseline budget deficit running to five percent 384 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: of GDP over the next decade. And that's when you 385 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: start to get into the far left wish list that 386 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: we're talking about here. Forty two trillion dollars democratic agenda 387 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: so far the left and Okazio Cortez I've come with 388 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: two trillion dollars in tax increase. And now why I 389 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: am we talk about Okasio quartets. She's just saying what 390 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: other Democrats want but aren't willing to say yet. All right, 391 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: you know she also wants free electricity. There you go, 392 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: free electricity. That's gonna be great, universal jobs and housing. 393 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: As a human writer, just a few more things on 394 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: our platfor Oh dude, free, it's gonna be free, every free. 395 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: Everything's going to be amazing. And what do they want? 396 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: Forty two trillion dollars of a democratic socialist agenda, single 397 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: pair of healthcare thirty two trillion, A federal jobs guarantee 398 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: six point eight trillion, student loan forgiveness one point four trillion, 399 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: free public college, eight hundred billion, infrastructure a trillion. How 400 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: the heck do you pay for all that? Will? They say? 401 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: Tax the rich? But as I explained before, even if 402 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: even if you took every single dollar earned over a 403 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: million dollars, which would actually be a tax on the rich. 404 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: Usually what they do is say we're going to tax 405 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: rich people, and then all of a sudden, you got 406 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: people that are making two hundred grands who are being 407 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: taxed like they're rich. Well, you know, I got news 408 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: for them. The average janitor in the New York this 409 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: is a true story. The average janitor in the New 410 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: York City public school system with overtime makes ninety three 411 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. So if you have a janitor, 412 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: let's say, married to a school administrator with some seniority 413 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: in the New York City public school system, that's a 414 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: household income of let's say, easily one hundred and fifty 415 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: to one hundred and sixty thousand dollars a year, maybe 416 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: a little more, maybe a little less. We call it 417 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty k. Are people making one hundred 418 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: and fifty k living in a major city rich. I'm 419 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: not saying that not doing well. They're doing well, but 420 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: are they rich? Should be paying sixty seventy eighty percent 421 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: of their income above you know, fifty grand in taxes 422 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: or above forty grand in taxes because because here's where 423 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: we're all and here's where this is all heading. This 424 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: is where things are going to get really ugly. The 425 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: numbers don't add up. The rich can't pay for this. 426 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: I don't mean can't like it's not fair. I don't 427 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: mean can't like politically it won't happen. I mean they 428 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: do not have the money to pay for this. It 429 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: does not exist. You could confiscate every dollar that the 430 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: rich earn over a million dollars a year, and you 431 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: would not be able to fund all of these proposals because, 432 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: you know what, there are a whole lot more people 433 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: making sixty sixty grand than there are people making six 434 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: hundred grand. For obviously, the real money is the middle class. 435 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: That's where the real tax dollars can get got if 436 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: you will, that's where they can get the money. And 437 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: we already have the most progressive tax code of any 438 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: of the OECD countries. We already have. Trying to you know, 439 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: these are I'm trying to remember the numbers of the the 440 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: top of my head, but I don't want to give 441 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: you the wrong ones. The top twenty percent of taxpayers 442 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: earned fifty three percent of income but pay sixty nine 443 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: percent of all federal taxes, including eighty eight percent of 444 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: all income tax So basically twenty percent of the country 445 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: is paying ninety per cent of the income taxes. The 446 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: bottom forty percent of earners earned fourteen percent of the 447 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: income will paying no income tax and less than five 448 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: percent of all federal taxes. So we already have a 449 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: very progressive tax code. So see, this is where this 450 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: whole movement and this is big, this is this is 451 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: going to be at the center of the fight for 452 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty and you're seeing it play out in a 453 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: different context and they've got their own political ecosystem. But 454 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: in France right now, people want stuff. It sounds good, 455 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: but they don't want to pay for it. People want 456 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: free stuff that somebody else is going to pick up 457 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: the tab for this. This is sound. They got healthcare 458 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: through This is the whole premise of wealth redistribution. The 459 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: government knows how much you need, what you need to have, 460 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: and will be better at allocating those resources than you 461 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: or than market. This is collectivism. Now people would say 462 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: to me, Buck, what about social security? We already have 463 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: a Yeah, I know, we're already trending toward a democrat 464 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: socialist state. That's happening. It's been happening after the last 465 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: sixty years or so, maybe more than that. Some whould 466 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: argue the last hundred years, but certainly last fifty or 467 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: sixty years, since the nineteen sixties, the Great Society programs, 468 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: we have been moving in this direction. And the time 469 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: when you get real revolutionary fervor is when it's not 470 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: when people are just scared or when there's deprivation. Yeah, 471 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: obviously people can get unsettled, and there can be unrest 472 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: just because of scarcity because people are destitute or you 473 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: have enough of a net. But but that also can 474 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: keep people busy because they're trying to make ends meet. 475 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: You have real revolutionary, combustible stuff when people have unmet 476 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: expectations and a sense that they have been wronged. That's 477 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: when they mobilize. And what you're going to see with 478 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: the middle class in this country if the Democrats have 479 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: their way, is there are all these promises, and if 480 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: they start to get more of them, if they start 481 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: to implement some of this, what will happen very quickly 482 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: is they'll realize, oh, we can't pay for this, and 483 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: then either the tax rates on the middle class will 484 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: become outrageous. So it'll be what they have in Sweden 485 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: or Denmark and a sixty seventy percent, and you know, 486 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: go spend some time or there. Not a lot of 487 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: people that I think you'd really, you know, really want 488 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: to change places with if you're somebody that enjoys individual 489 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: rights and freedom and private property. I'm not saying it's 490 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: a bad place. I'm saying I don't think as an 491 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: American and that's what you'd want. But the middle class 492 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: is gonna have to pay sixty percent of their income, 493 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: all income to the state, and then they'll realize, we'll 494 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: hold on a second. Now, my quality of life is 495 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: really going down, and we don't have a government bureaucracy 496 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: that's efficient enough to deliver on these services. So then 497 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: the services aren't going to be as good as we're promised. 498 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: So now you're gonna have people that are paying more 499 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: money than they were told they'd have to pay, getting 500 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: services that aren't nearly as good as they were told 501 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: they would be. And we're talking about tens of millions, 502 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: we're talking maybe the majority of the American people, at 503 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: least the majority of the American taxpayer. And then things 504 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: go one of two ways. They either realize the error 505 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: of this trajectory and scale it back, or they double down. 506 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: They do what democrats always do. Oh, the only answer 507 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: is a bigger state, even more taxes, even more government control. 508 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: And this is to borrow from Hyak, the road to serfdom. 509 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: This is how it happens. No one gets on the 510 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: road to serfdom thinking, you know, what's going to be 511 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: awesome when the state controls every aspect of my life 512 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: and I have no real control over my destiny and 513 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: the property that I have is just what the state 514 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: allows me to allows me to keep. Now that's a 515 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: it's a it's generally a gradual process toward that from 516 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: a free society, and it's descent into into fascism from 517 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: a free society or relatively free society as those freedoms 518 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: are lost. Most places never even get to that point. 519 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: But this is this is the macro dynamic that's playing 520 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: out in America, in Europe, and it is going to 521 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: be It's going to get ugly. It is going to 522 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: get ugly. I've got more on this than Also I'm 523 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: gonna talk about immigration and Trump's discussion with Shiji and 524 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: Ping about China and where all that's going. We have 525 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: a Jampack show. We'll be back in just a moment. 526 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: But Buck, you might say, we don't have people as 527 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: crazy as some of these street protesters in France. We 528 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: don't know, oh no, But of course we do, right 529 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: We already have an anti fum movement in this country 530 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: right now, anti fuzz pretty fringe. But what if we 531 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: did have a major economic recession, downturn, collapse. What if 532 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: their revolutionary rhetoric all of a sudden was supported not 533 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: just by hard left democrats but by mainstream democrats as well. 534 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: Do you think that they are committed enough to go 535 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: the distance and try for real unrest. I can't answer 536 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: the question. I can only say that they certainly are 537 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: crazy enough. Our friend Andy No, who some of you 538 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: know from Quilette, which is an online publication of a 539 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: journal of I think controversial thought might be a good 540 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: way of putting it, which means it's interesting to read. 541 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: Andy was out at Seattle anti FA protest over the 542 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: weekend and we had to bleep some of this out, 543 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: but they recognized our friend Andy. We had a moment 544 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: last week, I think, to talk about what he saw 545 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: in Portland. Well, this is now in Seattle, and this 546 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: is what one of the American Antifa Seattle protesters said 547 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: to And you know about this moment in our politics, 548 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: play one. I can see in your eyes that you've 549 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: got in Asian descent. Check your history. The history shows 550 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: you that you can't trust your enemy, but that you're 551 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: using your enemy against us, spying. Because it's coming. It's coming. 552 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: I'm bringing the energy. That's why they keep checking on you. 553 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: You understanding because they want to know, because I'm known 554 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,720 Speaker 1: to do this for real, because some of us didn't 555 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: really come to talk. So it's really come to die. 556 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: I dude, are you willing to die for a YouTube? Yeah, 557 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: but that's what's gonna come. That's coming to you, dude, 558 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: to fill that energy. So your heart's pounded. I'm here 559 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: to let you know judgments here and he's spying and 560 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: doing his part. It's gonna get you. End up, death 561 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: is coming to you. The anti foot protester says, some 562 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: of us are ready to die for this stuff. He 563 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: says now might just be rhetoric. Probably is, but he's 564 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: certainly not a very well adjusted individual. And it's troubling 565 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: that there are so many people. I mean, if he 566 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: were to say that over a loudspeaker in front of ANTIFU, 567 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: do you think any of them would have told him, Oh, no, 568 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 1: we're not about that, We're not about threats or violence. 569 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 1: They run around in paramilitary gear, pushing stuff, lighting stuff 570 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: on fire, breaking things, tackling people, punching people. Pretty sure 571 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: they're okay with violence. Now, when you have a revolutionary 572 00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: faction in a country like ours that is stable and 573 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: doing well, you could say, oh, we can ignore them. 574 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: It's fine, but things change. Small factions of hardliners and 575 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: extremists can be very opportunistic. And go back and read 576 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: the history of revolution in Russia. You'll see the Bolsheviks 577 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: were never very popular, never had widespread support, but they 578 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: were very committed. I'm not saying that Antifa is about 579 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: to take over roughly half the world, but we do 580 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,879 Speaker 1: need to keep an eye on the more extreme leftists 581 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: while we have this problem of a crushing debt and 582 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 1: a social welfare state that can't pay for itself. Looming 583 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: big hour or two coming up, Ho ho ho at. 584 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: A merry Christmas.

The broad scope, both 605 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: structural A three discussed as well as the tariffs and 606 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: the lord tariff bearers. All that needs to start fast, 607 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,720 Speaker 1: and we will be tracking it. We will be tracking 608 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: it because we've had promises in the past from China. Okay, okay, 609 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: and the promises have not worked out. Now, in the 610 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: spirit of goodwill, and again the president, she's amazing presentation 611 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: to President Trump Saturday night, in that positive, optimistic spirit. 612 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: We have strong expectations, but we must track this on 613 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 1: the China issue. He's been talking about this way before 614 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: he ran for president, and this is a major issue 615 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: for him. And again, I think this was a breakthrough 616 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: moment for the two presidents reaching this agreement. The President 617 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 1: is determined to continue to move forward on our economic 618 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: path and I think this was a great breakthrough. And 619 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: now the two teams have a lot of work to 620 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: turn this into a real agreement. So President Trump met 621 00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: with his counterpart, Chinese Premier, President Shi Jinping by it's 622 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,879 Speaker 1: always great to go with president because that way, I'm 623 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: sorry to go with premier because that could be the 624 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: Prime Minister or the president depending on the country. Otherwise 625 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,959 Speaker 1: you end up talking about you know, President Merkel or something, 626 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: and that everyone makes fun of you. But you say 627 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 1: premier instead of prime minister, then you're fine. So that's 628 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: a that's an important, little little trick. Anyway, Chancellor Miracle 629 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 1: is really I think the way she's referred to. So 630 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, there you go. Where were we? Oh? Yes, 631 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 1: talking about China. So China and the US have agreed 632 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:45,919 Speaker 1: to a short term diplomatic trade ceasefire, if you will. 633 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: They've decided they're going to give this three you know, 634 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,320 Speaker 1: the ninety days, three months to try to work something 635 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: out here where they're not going to just keep on 636 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 1: slapping bigger and bigger tariffs on each other. This was 637 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: down in Buenos Aires. I really want to go by 638 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: the way. I always want to check out one sr 639 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: was here, really good things, but Trump also did something 640 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: that might put the Chinese somewhat on edge here. Um, 641 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: they remember their economies that are really really toughier, Their 642 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 1: markets gotten walloped. It's been bad. But Trump appointed Lightheiser 643 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,359 Speaker 1: to run this whole thing. And you know he's gonna 644 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: be Robert Lightheiser, who was a US trade representative. He's 645 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 1: gonna be the guy negotiating with Beijing. This means that 646 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: you're not going to see Trump back down. I think 647 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna see or you're not gonna see the administration 648 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: back down. They still think that they're going to win 649 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: this thing. That's why Trump tweeted out my meeting in 650 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: Argentina with President she Off China was an extraordinary one. 651 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,879 Speaker 1: Relations with China taken a big leap forward. Very good 652 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: things will happen. We're dealing from great strength, but China 653 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 1: likewise has much to gain if and when a deal 654 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 1: is completed level the field. So here is how I see. 655 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: Here's a concern that I have. China is playing a 656 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 1: long term game, and we are operating not just in 657 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 1: four year election cycles, but really in twenty four hour 658 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: news cycles. China views itself as our only real strategic 659 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: or rather they are only real strategic threat over the 660 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: long term, and they're right. The Chinese economy US economy 661 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: for single nation states, the EU is the technically the 662 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: largest economy in the world. Well that's not really fair. 663 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: I mean, because the EU is a whole lot of 664 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 1: countries and they don't get along a lot of things, 665 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: and their separate nation states. For single nations, China and 666 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: the China and the United States or are the biggest, 667 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: and the Chinese view their economic power as essential to 668 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: their long term hard power military military force. That understand 669 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 1: that if they become dominant as an economic power, that 670 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: essentially military power will follow. Because one, they got a 671 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: massive and disproportionately male population, a young and male population, 672 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: and they're going to have very advanced armaments, and you 673 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: know they could if they eclipse us economically, the assumption 674 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: is that they will also eclipse US militarily. It's just 675 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: a question of when. And that also factors into what 676 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: they're really willing to do here. I think that there 677 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: is a zero sum nature and much of the Chinese 678 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 1: thinking on this. They're not looking and this is where 679 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: I think there might be a flaw in the administration's approach, 680 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: although maybe Trump understands this very well and that's why 681 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: he's taking this approach so that they expose this mentality 682 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 1: from the Chinese. The Chinese are not looking to find 683 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,879 Speaker 1: a world I mean, this is a very America. We're 684 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: number one, but we want everyone to be great kind 685 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: of view. The Chinese government, you know, the Standing Committee 686 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: and Chiesi and Ping, they're not hoping that America and 687 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 1: China come to some agreement where everyone's just making more 688 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 1: money and everything is cool. They want to beat us. 689 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,280 Speaker 1: They want they want to win. They're not just looking 690 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: for win win. They want to win. And that is 691 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: a different mentality and a different strategic goal than certainly 692 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 1: what previous administrations have gone and they're trying to achieve. 693 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's not enough to just say to them, well, 694 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 1: if if you stop this and we have much freer 695 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: free trade, not perfectly free trade, but we have much 696 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: free or free trade, then then there's the real Then 697 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: there's the real possibility that you know, everybody will be wealthier, 698 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,879 Speaker 1: everybody will be better off. The truth is that they 699 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,800 Speaker 1: want I think that the intellectual property theft, it's a 700 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: perfect example I'm talking about because that involves also military 701 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: and trade secrets. They're not going to stop doing that. 702 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 1: They're not going to stop. They may try to put 703 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: in place some public modifications to those policies so they 704 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,479 Speaker 1: can say they've stopped. Well, there's no way they're gonna stop. 705 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's no aspect of the Chinese government 706 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 1: that has any authority, what sevice gonna say, Yeah, you 707 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: know what instead of getting closer and closer to America 708 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: in terms of its military, it's trade secrets, it's commercial 709 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: applications of technology all the time, and doing so for 710 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: pennies on the dollar of what the US spends an 711 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,959 Speaker 1: R and D and just the you know, blood, sweat 712 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: and tears of its entrepreneurs. We could just take that. 713 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: Instead of that, we're going to do it ourselves and 714 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: try to catch up in the old fashioned way. Let's 715 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 1: have a fair fight. China doesn't want a fair fight. 716 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: They don't want to fair fight economically, and eventually they're 717 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 1: not gonna want to want a fair fight militarily, either 718 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,879 Speaker 1: whether it's with US or the Indians or who knows. 719 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,799 Speaker 1: But you know, the Chinese have grand ambitions as a 720 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 1: people and as a nation, and they want to be 721 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: number one, and that means number one at our expense. 722 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 1: I think that's that's what our side hasn't really grasped yet. 723 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,800 Speaker 1: That's what our team, uh, you know, in this country, 724 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: not just the Trump administration, but I think in general, 725 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 1: just American foreign policy has a hard time dealing with 726 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,839 Speaker 1: you know, we like to think of this world, you know, 727 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,760 Speaker 1: one where nationalism is is considered a bad thing. Meanwhile, 728 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,279 Speaker 1: the rest of the world that is perfectly willing to 729 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: embrace nationalism. Um, you know in the e the EU 730 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: being the only place we'd say, oh no, buck, they 731 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 1: like their super super state. Well one is you know, 732 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,800 Speaker 1: the Brexit with the UK, but also all those countries 733 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,360 Speaker 1: within the U s to all have a very strong 734 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: sense of their own national identity. You know, they have 735 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: an economic union, but not a political union. So there's 736 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: just not it's not the same approach that the Chinese 737 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: are taking to this that we would if we were 738 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 1: in their shoes, which is just let's just aim for 739 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 1: overall prosperity and favorable relationships with our you know, with 740 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: other countries and all the rest of it. No, no no, no, 741 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 1: they actually want dominance, and dominance is going to cause 742 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: you know that the quest for cominence with China is 743 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: going to cause friction. One more point here about the 744 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 1: Chinese talks that are just wanting to throw in there 745 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,240 Speaker 1: before we get onto a little bit of a discussion 746 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: about what's going on in the border, and that has 747 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 1: to do with actually the fentyel epidemic. Plate ten. One 748 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: topic that we'll bring up will be the fentinel problem 749 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 1: that we have in the United States, which is a 750 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 1: tremendous problem. Asking the President to do something about that, 751 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: I think you'll be able to. If you put that 752 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 1: on a restrictive category, we'll be able to pretty much 753 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,479 Speaker 1: shot the great deal. To criminalize it in China would 754 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: be a great fate. See what's happening is fentanyl as 755 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 1: being made in commercial style laboratories in China, transshipped from 756 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 1: China to Mexico, and then from Mexico, the cartels are 757 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 1: moving fentanyl illegally in the United States and selling it's 758 00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: killing a lot of people, a lot of Yeah, the 759 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: opid epidemic is partially hero which is also coming via Mexico. 760 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,960 Speaker 1: But for the opioids that are in pill form fentyl 761 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 1: and car fentyl, which is even more powerful than a 762 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 1: normal fentyl, that stuff is being made in China and 763 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,320 Speaker 1: somewhat in Mexico itself and then going across the border. 764 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 1: So you know, the Chinese have a hand in preventing 765 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 1: the poisoning over seventy thousand Americans. Do I think that 766 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 1: they're really going to crack down on this all that much? No, 767 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,880 Speaker 1: I think China is just fine. As a general notion, 768 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:41,400 Speaker 1: of you know, it's better for my enemy to be suffering. 769 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,360 Speaker 1: I don't think China is too worried about our opioid 770 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: epidemic at all. I got a lot of people that 771 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,880 Speaker 1: are telling me Buck, I'm tired of all the bias 772 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,319 Speaker 1: I see from the left on social media.

This 790 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:54,279 Speaker 1: is a very complex situation because mister Putin is clearly 791 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: a slow learner. He is not recognizing that what he 792 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: is doing actually creating the animosity against his people. He's 793 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: not acting in the best interests of the Russian people, 794 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: and he is actually causing NATO to rearm and to 795 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,840 Speaker 1: strengthen the democracy stance, the unified stance of all the 796 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 1: democracies together. Dealing with someone that we simply cannot trust. 797 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 1: Has the relationship worsened since you've been Defense Secretary, There 798 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: is no doubt the relationship has worsened. He tried again 799 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:35,279 Speaker 1: to muck around in our elections this last month, and 800 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:40,399 Speaker 1: we are seeing a continued effort along those lines. Lots 801 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:45,640 Speaker 1: to unpack from what Secretary of Defense Maddis said. Theres 802 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 1: lots that we have to get into now. One, let's 803 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: just get right to it so we don't let this. 804 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 1: You know, we don't miss a beat. Russia meddled in 805 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,279 Speaker 1: the midterm of life. How many people have heard that 806 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 1: anywhere before? Why do you why do we all think 807 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 1: that's why is that we're just hearing now about Russian 808 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 1: meddling in the midterm election, and in such a kind 809 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,320 Speaker 1: of a blase who cares way right? I mean, I'm 810 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 1: not saying Maddis doesn't care, but this isn't the usual 811 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 1: hair on fire, Oh my gosh, Russian meddling in the election. 812 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: You know, Maddis is saying, this guy's being a punk, 813 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 1: he's being difficult, he's causing problems for us. But he's 814 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 1: also saying, look, you know, this is the sort of 815 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 1: the way, this is kind of the way it is, 816 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 1: and when we're trying to deal with Putin, we need 817 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,799 Speaker 1: to understand that he's a bad guy. But if the 818 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 1: Democrats hadn't just picked up almost forty seats in the 819 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:49,280 Speaker 1: House of Representatives, don't you think we'd be told all 820 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 1: over the place, Oh my gosh, there was an attempt 821 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 1: at Russian meddling, and almost certainly an additional Russian meddling 822 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 1: beyond that, of course we would this would be there 823 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 1: would be a non style story if Republicans had held 824 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: the House and gained seats in the Senate. The Russian 825 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 1: medalings just like with Hillary, and when she lost the election, 826 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,799 Speaker 1: everyone knew there was Russian medaling beef I ever knew 827 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: the Facebook. It was only after she lost that there 828 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 1: was this need to oh my gosh, what are we 829 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 1: gonna do? And so terrible, Oh Hillary, sorry, might because 830 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 1: of my scratchy voice right now, I can't do the 831 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 1: Hillary voice. We'll just come out like a like a 832 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:28,400 Speaker 1: wounded duck noise or something. Does that even sound like 833 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 1: a wounded duck? I don't know what that was. But Maddis, though, 834 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,840 Speaker 1: never wanted to shy away from a great one liner. 835 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: He said the following play fifteen. We are Americans. We 836 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,920 Speaker 1: are not spectators in the art of history. We make history. 837 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,359 Speaker 1: Reagan said it best. I do not believe, he said, 838 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 1: in a faith that will befall us no matter what 839 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 1: we do. I do believe in a faith that will 840 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: befall us if we do nothing. America will sustain our 841 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:05,040 Speaker 1: military's warrior ethos because we must. With Congress and industry partners, 842 00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,440 Speaker 1: we will hold the line, and we will send a 843 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: simple message to any potential advertary not today. Your military 844 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 1: cannot win it, so don't even try it. That is 845 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,799 Speaker 1: absolutely the case right now. That's good that we have 846 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 1: somebody of Maddie's stature, and who commands as much respect 847 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 1: within the military as he does to say it that said, 848 00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:34,239 Speaker 1: this is this is not inevitable. Our economic dominance is inevitable. 849 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 1: Our military dominance is certainly not inevitable. And you know, 850 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: there's a lot that's in the process of changing right 851 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,680 Speaker 1: now that people don't spend much time thinking about. But 852 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 1: you know, here's an example. Hypersonic weapons sound like they're 853 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: going to be increasingly a large part of the offensive 854 00:52:55,200 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: military capabilities of major developed nations, and that changes the 855 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 1: game in terms of missile defense technology. You know, what's 856 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: what is possible when you have missiles, including nuclear missiles, 857 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 1: that go a whole lot faster and can get around 858 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 1: traditional defenses. Think about how that begins to change the 859 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,880 Speaker 1: dynamic of what we have had for a while here, 860 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 1: which is a sense of relative stability among the at 861 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,399 Speaker 1: least the nuclear armed states with the exception of North Korea. 862 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 1: And the only thing really keeps Pakistan stable in our 863 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 1: eyes is that India's right next door looking at them 864 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 1: like you want to go, we can go, we can 865 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,480 Speaker 1: do this, and everyone just sits around them holding their 866 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 1: breath saying, oh my gosh, please don't do this. I 867 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,960 Speaker 1: guess you can't say anything and hold your breath. You 868 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 1: get the basic idea. Oh, and then speaking about future 869 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 1: nuclear states and how things could go very badly, very quickly. 870 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 1: You have a General Keen and General Jackino or Fox 871 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,640 Speaker 1: talking about what's going on with the Iran I've got 872 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: to say this is I've got to say, this is 873 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 1: one of the areas where the administration has received you 874 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 1: received all this pushback. Oh, our European allies, and you 875 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 1: know with the randal, if we if we step out 876 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,839 Speaker 1: of the Randal, all these terrible things are going to happen. 877 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,640 Speaker 1: None of these terrible things happen. None of these terrible 878 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: things happen. Play seven, three weeks after the president was inaugurated, 879 00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,799 Speaker 1: iron test fire a ballistic missile, and clearly what he 880 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,400 Speaker 1: did is he sanctioned them right away and told them 881 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 1: that we were not going to stand for their continuing 882 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,239 Speaker 1: aggressive and malign behavior in the region. We're slapping some 883 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:35,279 Speaker 1: pretty hard sanctions on the Iranians. And now we're now 884 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 1: we're into the energy and the oil part of it. 885 00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:42,400 Speaker 1: Their economy is struggling, their currency is in free fall, 886 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 1: their inflation is spiraling out of control. There's fuel, food 887 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 1: shortages on a regular basis, that there's power shortages that 888 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 1: are coming up almost weekly, and civil unresting the nation 889 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,640 Speaker 1: is growing. So the Iranian regime, for the first time 890 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 1: since they took power in nineteen eighty, they clearly are 891 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:06,279 Speaker 1: feeling pressure that they have never ever felt before. He said, 892 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 1: it's the most pressure Iran's ever been under. And this 893 00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 1: is why the Obama deal was so egregious. Now, never 894 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,240 Speaker 1: mind just that the palates of cash traded for US 895 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 1: hostages and the decision to essentially allow the rest of 896 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:29,720 Speaker 1: US media's policy and interest just fall into disrepair because 897 00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 1: they didn't the Obama team didn't want to upset the 898 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 1: Irani and Molas. The sanctions were working, I mean the 899 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 1: Iranian the Iranian government was in really bad shape, and 900 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,720 Speaker 1: there was a sense that, you know, unrest was coming, 901 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: and you know, it would be great if we could 902 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 1: mean it would be such a fantastic thing for the 903 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 1: Irani and people and for the whole world if there 904 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,839 Speaker 1: could finally be you know, how about a revolution where 905 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,799 Speaker 1: the good guys win. You know, we're the result, our 906 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 1: country is the result of a revolution. We're the good guys. 907 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 1: Weren't How about that in Iran, it would really be 908 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 1: a counter revolution in a sense that what happened in 909 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy now but pressure on the regime to get 910 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 1: them to comply with the reasonable expectations of the international community. 911 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,239 Speaker 1: I mean, this is good, not sending US troops, not 912 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 1: putting our people in arms way, you know, economic warfare, 913 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,920 Speaker 1: which is what we're doing. We're waging economic warfare against 914 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:19,719 Speaker 1: the Iranians and doing so right now pretty successfully. But 915 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 1: not a lot of media coverage of it. Because can 916 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,840 Speaker 1: you imagine if people become aware that Trump's policy in 917 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 1: Iran is just more sounds, just better decision making than 918 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 1: anything the Obama team with Kerry and the rest of 919 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,800 Speaker 1: them were able to cook up. I mean, I think 920 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,479 Speaker 1: that is one of the nightmares of the establishment left. 921 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,080 Speaker 1: It turns out Trump is a great foreign policy president 922 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:48,320 Speaker 1: and that Obama isn't even in the same league. Well, definitely, 923 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: we need more wall, we need more manpower, We need 924 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,919 Speaker 1: Congress to fix the loopholes in the laws. Until those 925 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 1: loopholes are fixed, this situation is not well, in particular 926 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,799 Speaker 1: with the family units and the ability to come to 927 00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 1: this country and be released into the United States while 928 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,279 Speaker 1: awaiting a court date that is long down the road. 929 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 1: We need Congress to act and deal with the immigration 930 00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 1: laws and see if they can fix that situation for us. Otherwise, 931 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 1: the pole factor is going to continue to be there 932 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 1: and these individuals are going to keep coming. So that 933 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 1: was a border patrol Carlo Provost. I remember interviewing her 934 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,479 Speaker 1: not long ago. It's a very serious lady, very very 935 00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 1: much all about law enforcement. And this migrant caravan folks 936 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:39,240 Speaker 1: has not gone away. The media coverage of it has 937 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:43,919 Speaker 1: temporarily died down, but this is still very much an 938 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 1: issue that needs to be resolved. You have, just the 939 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 1: last day, you have a group of Hondurans in the 940 00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 1: caravan scale the Mexico border wall in Tijuana and then 941 00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 1: they were taken into custody. So people are still trying 942 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 1: to sneak across. And what I'm hearing, and I was 943 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,880 Speaker 1: speaking to some sources today about this, I'm still really 944 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 1: hoping to be able to get to the border. I 945 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 1: try to go last week. Of course, this week I've 946 00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,160 Speaker 1: got I'm sick. I got a Christmas party every day 947 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,400 Speaker 1: pretty much this week, and you know, I guess partied 948 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 1: a little hard this past weekend for miss Molly's birthday. 949 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,000 Speaker 1: So I'm trying to play a little bit of catch 950 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,920 Speaker 1: up now. But you know, I want to get down 951 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 1: to the border and see for myself what's going on 952 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:28,920 Speaker 1: and bring you all that firsthand knowledge about the caravan. 953 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 1: So I'm working on that. I'm gonna try to talk 954 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,560 Speaker 1: to the powers that be tomorrow about getting me down there, 955 00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: even even just for a few days, to really see 956 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 1: with my own eyes what's going on, and I would 957 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,440 Speaker 1: just do the show from don't worry, I'll do the 958 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,640 Speaker 1: show from down there. We've got a good station at 959 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 1: San Diego that I can I can be be live 960 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,479 Speaker 1: at her for a few days. But you've got people 961 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 1: scaling this fence. What I'm being told by my sources, 962 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,600 Speaker 1: and I mean there's all there's photos this by the way, 963 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 1: I mean, this is happening. People are sneaking across the 964 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,440 Speaker 1: border at the fence. And what you're finding out is 965 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 1: that there's all so an effort right now, there's a 966 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,439 Speaker 1: there's an effort to kind of gather together at one 967 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:12,040 Speaker 1: part of the border, and more people are showing up. 968 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 1: You know, you have six thousand of them that were 969 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:22,440 Speaker 1: that have gathered together and more showing up, and the 970 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,520 Speaker 1: idea is that if enough of them get to the border, 971 00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 1: to just think about how this plays out, and it's 972 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 1: really very it's very Ilynsky, it's very Elynskyite, and what's 973 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 1: going on here. If enough people get to the border 974 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:39,680 Speaker 1: at one time, and then they strategically pick weak parts 975 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,760 Speaker 1: of the wall, they pick weak parts of the wall 976 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,560 Speaker 1: to go to, and then all at once they rush, right, 977 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: they try to rush the border. A lot of them 978 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 1: are going to get in, a lot of them will 979 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 1: get border patrol because there's simply too much border, not 980 00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,600 Speaker 1: enough agents. And once they get into the interior of 981 00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 1: the United States, I mean, it's it's all over here. 982 01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 1: You're never going to find them. By the way, I 983 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,480 Speaker 1: saw the Pew survey data that just I think it 984 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,320 Speaker 1: just came out today about illegal illegal particularly illegal immigrant 985 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,959 Speaker 1: Mexicans in the United States. And sure enough, who wants 986 01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 1: to guess, who wants to guess? How many? There are? 987 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 1: Eleven million? Oh wow, the number is the same as 988 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 1: it was last year and the year. You know, they 989 01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,120 Speaker 1: have these charts that show up and down, and their 990 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 1: claim is that there are a million fewer illegal alien 991 01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,560 Speaker 1: Mexicans in the country now. And there were in two 992 01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,440 Speaker 1: thousand and seven, but that there are I guess a 993 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 1: million more non Mexican illegal aliens the country. That's why 994 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 1: that the number essentially stays static at eleven million total. 995 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 1: It's just more Central Americans and fewer fewer Mexicans overall sold. 996 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,560 Speaker 1: I just I don't believe the number, and not because 997 01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm a conspiracy theorist. I don't believe the number because 998 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,600 Speaker 1: the number doesn't make any sense. It's unrealistic to believe 999 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 1: that that number just stays where it is for all 1000 01:00:55,800 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 1: that time, just because I just don't believe that. I 1001 01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 1: just don't think that that may for all the reason 1002 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 1: I've told you. And also those math nerds at mit UM, 1003 01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, they crunch the numbers. I'm sorry, not MT 1004 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 1: at Yale. They crunch the numbers, they realize. But what 1005 01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 1: happens if we're at the border. Here's the other, the 1006 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:21,120 Speaker 1: other possibility. What happens if at the border the sorry, 1007 01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 1: my voice is starting to film me a little bit. 1008 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:27,720 Speaker 1: Team the different groups that have gathered there rush and 1009 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,840 Speaker 1: let's say there's an incident. You know what if somebody 1010 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,680 Speaker 1: in the border patrol tries to stop a few migrants 1011 01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 1: and they you know, a group of them, attack of 1012 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 1: border patrol agent and he feels like his life or 1013 01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 1: her life, whichever we're talking about, with that border patrol 1014 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,920 Speaker 1: agent is truly in jeopardy and draws a firearm and shoots. 1015 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:53,040 Speaker 1: You know this, this can happen. I mean, this is 1016 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 1: not an unforeseeable situation. And now, I mean, the moment 1017 01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 1: you have any kind of lethal force incident at the border, 1018 01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 1: you're going to have them. You're going to have the 1019 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:08,439 Speaker 1: activist left completely lose their mind, and then they're gonna 1020 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,800 Speaker 1: be talking about, you know, shoot on site, militarized border, 1021 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 1: you know, racist, Nazi border patrol, all of this stuff. 1022 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,960 Speaker 1: And meanwhile, you know, no one is forcing Democrats to 1023 01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 1: answer hard questions about what should be done with these 1024 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,280 Speaker 1: thousands of people who have gathered there. The Trump administration said, 1025 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 1: you have to show up at a legal port of 1026 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,439 Speaker 1: entry to get into the United States. You can't just 1027 01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 1: run into the country and at any point along the 1028 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,240 Speaker 1: US Mexico border. And we've got thousands of people that 1029 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 1: think that they're just going to come through, and there 1030 01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,760 Speaker 1: are probably thousands more gathering. We're not even really sure 1031 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 1: think about how quickly they went from a remember this, 1032 01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,760 Speaker 1: how quickly did they go from a thousand miles away 1033 01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,479 Speaker 1: to at the border. It was a matter of days, 1034 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: you know. Oh god, there were so many, so many 1035 01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:59,640 Speaker 1: stupid pundits out there running around talking about how you 1036 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,840 Speaker 1: know they're they're so far away, and the people that 1037 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,320 Speaker 1: are making an issue of this, or you know, they're 1038 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 1: they're just fear mongering. And I'm no, they're not fear mongering. 1039 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 1: It was true, as we know. And that's why I 1040 01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 1: was happy that I had a chance to go on 1041 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 1: The Tucker Show and talk with him about how we've 1042 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 1: just been lied to all along about this caravan and 1043 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,480 Speaker 1: and you know, we're being lied to about it right now. 1044 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,080 Speaker 1: We're being lied to about it, and the Congress isn't 1045 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:31,080 Speaker 1: doing a damn thing about it. Congress is just it's 1046 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 1: just so useless on the issue of immigration, just so 1047 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:40,000 Speaker 1: so worthless. They don't take enough action when it come 1048 01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,960 Speaker 1: well on immigration in any in any way, you know. 1049 01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: And now, but we're being told that they've they've pushed off, 1050 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,960 Speaker 1: they've pushed off dealing with the possible government shut down, 1051 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:59,800 Speaker 1: the budget fight till the friday, the Friday before Christmas. Oh, 1052 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,920 Speaker 1: the Friday before Christmas. That's because that's when they're going 1053 01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,760 Speaker 1: to really take a they're gonna take a stand. That's 1054 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,680 Speaker 1: when they're going to decide. Oh, I've I'm gonna, you know, 1055 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,960 Speaker 1: create a big political storm right before Christmas and New 1056 01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,919 Speaker 1: Year's Eve and Buck's Birthday by the way, very important day. 1057 01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 1: You know that's not gonna that's not gonna happen. You know, 1058 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:25,480 Speaker 1: there's not going to be any fight really over the book. 1059 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, I guess I could be right here. 1060 01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,680 Speaker 1: Here's what they're saying. Lawmakers plan to extend funding through 1061 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:34,280 Speaker 1: December twenty first. Okay, so they're passing a very short 1062 01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 1: budgetary fix, and the disagreements over whether whether to fund 1063 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:44,560 Speaker 1: President Trump's proposed border wall are what's pushing this right. So, 1064 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,919 Speaker 1: so here's what CNBC says. The Republican controlled Congress hope 1065 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,600 Speaker 1: to strike a deal with Democrats this week, even as 1066 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,280 Speaker 1: President Trump's demand for five billion to fund his proposed 1067 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 1: border wall raised the prospect of a partial government shutdown. 1068 01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,480 Speaker 1: George HW. Bush's death and funeral range and shifted focus. 1069 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,680 Speaker 1: Trump was set to meet with Senator House Democratic leaders 1070 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,760 Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Plosi on Tuesday morning. That's 1071 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 1: layed until next week because of the death year, and 1072 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:11,680 Speaker 1: Senate Democrats have said the old greeted, but no more 1073 01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,880 Speaker 1: than one point six billion dollars towards border security and fencing, 1074 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 1: but not the physical wall that Trump seeks. This is 1075 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 1: just this is just Democrats not wanting Trump be able 1076 01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,120 Speaker 1: to follow through on a campaign promise. This is just 1077 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:30,920 Speaker 1: Democrats deciding that the President of the United States shouldn't 1078 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:35,120 Speaker 1: be able to adequately defend our southern border. Because if 1079 01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,400 Speaker 1: you think about this for a moment, if President did 1080 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 1: get that wall built, I think then he even cruises 1081 01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:44,440 Speaker 1: to reelection. If we're in the midst of over session, 1082 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,400 Speaker 1: I think, if President Trump gets that wall built, where 1083 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,040 Speaker 1: we're in for four more years at Trump and the 1084 01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 1: Democrats know that if you can't make the argument now, 1085 01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,960 Speaker 1: meaning if Republicans aren't willing to explain why we need 1086 01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:03,200 Speaker 1: a border wall right now, it's it's never going to happen. 1087 01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 1: And it's never going to happen because there's no better time, 1088 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 1: and time is running out, and once once you have 1089 01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 1: even more Democrats in the House, then it's even less 1090 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,600 Speaker 1: likely that you would get any kind of concession because 1091 01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,240 Speaker 1: right right now, it's really just about how much money 1092 01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:21,680 Speaker 1: and where the money is going to be spent. But 1093 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,920 Speaker 1: there's supposed to be some kind of action on the 1094 01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 1: border wall they're supposed to be or not on the 1095 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 1: wall on the border. They're willing to pay for some 1096 01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 1: security measures. But what we see is in real time 1097 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:37,959 Speaker 1: a case study of how effective a wall would be. 1098 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:45,360 Speaker 1: In real time, we see that the places in the 1099 01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:51,240 Speaker 1: Tijuana California corridor here you know, outside San Diego, sanny Cedro, 1100 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,480 Speaker 1: port and MEXICALI that the places with good with a 1101 01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:59,000 Speaker 1: good wall, with a good barrier don't have crossings. The 1102 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,800 Speaker 1: places where the barrier has been breached, our places where 1103 01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 1: the barrier is either in disrepair or unfinished or incomplete. 1104 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 1: Of course, of course the barrier matters. And you see 1105 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 1: border patrol right now gathering in such a way as 1106 01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:20,720 Speaker 1: to leverage as much as possible this protection or this 1107 01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,960 Speaker 1: barrier to entry that they have, and places where they 1108 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,960 Speaker 1: don't have it, obviously there are at a greater disadvantage 1109 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:30,960 Speaker 1: to do their jobs. So we have essentially and I 1110 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,600 Speaker 1: wish Republicans would just make this case. I wish they 1111 01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,800 Speaker 1: would be more clear in this We have a running 1112 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:41,240 Speaker 1: advertisement for a wall happening right now with this caravan. 1113 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:43,720 Speaker 1: I don't just mean, oh my gosh, we have a caravan. 1114 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:45,640 Speaker 1: We need to build a wall to prevent people from 1115 01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:49,280 Speaker 1: illegally come to the United States. I mean that the 1116 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 1: caravan is being stopped from coming into the United States 1117 01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:58,240 Speaker 1: by a wall. So we see that it works. There's 1118 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 1: no question that it works. You know, we don't have 1119 01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred border patrol agents linking arms on 1120 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,200 Speaker 1: the border and saying well, you can't run through us 1121 01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:11,360 Speaker 1: like that. That that's not gonna work. There's not sufficient 1122 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,440 Speaker 1: manpower there to do that. But this requires a fix. 1123 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 1: And you know, and the Democrats are going to challenge 1124 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 1: us in court. They're gonna say that Trump doesn't have 1125 01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,240 Speaker 1: the right, doesn't have the executive authority to say that 1126 01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:25,720 Speaker 1: you have to show up at a port of entry. 1127 01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:27,639 Speaker 1: You can't just cross the border and then claim asylum. 1128 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,360 Speaker 1: A lot of them are doing that, claiming defensive asylum. 1129 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:31,639 Speaker 1: People say, why would you do that? If you could 1130 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,880 Speaker 1: show up a port of entry, why go through the 1131 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,479 Speaker 1: asylum process. You can just walk into America obviously, and 1132 01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,720 Speaker 1: if you get caught, you just say, oh I fear 1133 01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:43,680 Speaker 1: violence in my country, and ultimately, I just democrats are 1134 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:45,720 Speaker 1: never asked any of the hard questions here. They don't 1135 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,800 Speaker 1: have to go on the record. Why doesn't all of 1136 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,559 Speaker 1: Honduras qualify? For a second? Could all of Honduras show 1137 01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,880 Speaker 1: up at the US Mexico border and say we want 1138 01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,639 Speaker 1: to flee our country. What if a million Hondurans march 1139 01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,719 Speaker 1: to the US Mexico border and said our country too dangerous, 1140 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,559 Speaker 1: we need it, we need to get out. Do they 1141 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,439 Speaker 1: all get to get put through the process? The asylum process. 1142 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,519 Speaker 1: Is our asylum process essentially a suicide pack for our 1143 01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,240 Speaker 1: immigration laws? Is that what it's supposed to be? No 1144 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,439 Speaker 1: one's ever asking in these questions Democrats. All they do 1145 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,599 Speaker 1: is talk about women and children and tear gassing. Oh gosh, 1146 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,840 Speaker 1: just cry lots of tears for all the people that 1147 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,880 Speaker 1: you know. Nancy Pelosi's been in their neighborhoods. She's not 1148 01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 1: dealing with them. She doesn't care what the difference in 1149 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,240 Speaker 1: the job or the labor market is as a result 1150 01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 1: of a huge influx of illegal aliens. She doesn't care. 1151 01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,479 Speaker 1: It doesn't affect her one bit, right. In fact, it's 1152 01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 1: better for her more of a servant class to wait 1153 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,880 Speaker 1: on her. It's true of a lot of these elite lives. 1154 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,679 Speaker 1: By the way, they love illegal immigrant labor because they 1155 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,160 Speaker 1: like the ebing of the hire people who basically have 1156 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,040 Speaker 1: no choice but to work for less than market wages. 1157 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:52,559 Speaker 1: That's the way that it goes. I want to say 1158 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,639 Speaker 1: one thing about him that was not picked up really 1159 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,080 Speaker 1: because as a candidate he said, those who think we're 1160 01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 1: powerless to do anything about the green House effect off 1161 01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,960 Speaker 1: forgetting about the white House effect. And then he signed 1162 01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,320 Speaker 1: into law the Clean Air Act Amendments of nineteen ninety 1163 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:10,800 Speaker 1: one of the most sweeping environmental statutes ever. Yeah, this 1164 01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:14,040 Speaker 1: president that we have now is trying to unravel everything 1165 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,439 Speaker 1: that he did and Obama did. And if I ever 1166 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,760 Speaker 1: become a one issue voter, it will be about pollution 1167 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,759 Speaker 1: and the greenhouse effect, and we focus on the president. Please, 1168 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:28,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about trouble. We're honoring a 1169 01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:32,519 Speaker 1: great Please. I want to talk about honoring, but I'm 1170 01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:41,080 Speaker 1: not interested in your one issue. I don't care. Right boy, Wow, 1171 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 1: got a little a little tense there on the view, 1172 01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:48,360 Speaker 1: And that was Megan McCain, who some of you might recall, 1173 01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:53,400 Speaker 1: formerly hosted this time on radio getting into it with 1174 01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,360 Speaker 1: Joy Bayer. I can't do Joy's voice right now because 1175 01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:00,320 Speaker 1: my throat is swollen up because I'm sick. But just know, 1176 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,160 Speaker 1: just know that in my head, I'm doing the Joy 1177 01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:04,439 Speaker 1: be Har voice, which I've been told is actually one 1178 01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:08,719 Speaker 1: of my better impressions. And Joy Behar got very upset 1179 01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,400 Speaker 1: there because she was getting called out, and she should 1180 01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:13,920 Speaker 1: get called out. She should get called out because what 1181 01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,160 Speaker 1: she's doing is what all these lib journal types. She's 1182 01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:17,680 Speaker 1: not even journals. I don't know what she is kind 1183 01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:22,080 Speaker 1: of a I don't know, just she's just annoying. But 1184 01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,679 Speaker 1: she does this thing where, okay, we're talking about Bush 1185 01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,880 Speaker 1: forty one, and then all of a sudden it has 1186 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:33,720 Speaker 1: to be Trump is bad, bashed Trump. Can we just say, 1187 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,640 Speaker 1: what can we at least if we're gonna bash somebody, 1188 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:38,559 Speaker 1: can at least be a fight of the legacy of 1189 01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:41,600 Speaker 1: George HW But you know, you know it say you know, 1190 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,559 Speaker 1: they don't compare. They don't say George H. W. Bush, 1191 01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:49,280 Speaker 1: unlike Obama, who had no ability whatsoever to kid Republicans, 1192 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,920 Speaker 1: to meet Republicans halfway, to work across the aisle, to 1193 01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:57,000 Speaker 1: be bipartisan. You know, Obama was a scorched earth partisan president, 1194 01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,559 Speaker 1: so you know, very different from what George HW. Bush was. Like. 1195 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,120 Speaker 1: You know, they don't do that. They just do it. 1196 01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,439 Speaker 1: They just do it to bash Trump.

Look look at what a difference 1200 01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,200 Speaker 1: in terms of the dignity of the office. No, no, 1201 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 1: they only do it when it comes to Bush. But 1202 01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,880 Speaker 1: that that few We'll get more into the passing of 1203 01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:30,920 Speaker 1: the president.

That's only twice, and the 1286 01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,160 Speaker 1: other one was Martin Van Buren. So you gotta go 1287 01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:41,280 Speaker 1: quite a ways back, quite a ways back for somebody 1288 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 1: who was a VP who became president, which was pretty 1289 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 1: funny even thinking about it, you think that usually the 1290 01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:49,280 Speaker 1: VP would be that the easiest stepping stone for anybody 1291 01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:50,960 Speaker 1: would be vice president to president, but it's just not 1292 01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,519 Speaker 1: how it works usually. Here's you know, you have a 1293 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,160 Speaker 1: lot of people on the media in the media right now, 1294 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,680 Speaker 1: and one of the reasons why I am handling this 1295 01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:00,960 Speaker 1: later on in the show is because one, I feel 1296 01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:04,560 Speaker 1: like a lot of you My main contention here is 1297 01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,599 Speaker 1: just a lot of what you're hearing about George HW 1298 01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,120 Speaker 1: Bush is just meant to bash Trump, and a lot 1299 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:11,120 Speaker 1: of it also Now when we go back and look 1300 01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,760 Speaker 1: at it, we realize that the media were vicious to 1301 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 1: George Bush, just like they were vicious to his son 1302 01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,519 Speaker 1: later on, and they're vicious to Trump now. Nothing has 1303 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:24,640 Speaker 1: really changed. They've just gotten nastier, crazier, and more transparent 1304 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:28,920 Speaker 1: about those things in the media. So but there are 1305 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:30,519 Speaker 1: a lot of people that are running around in the 1306 01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,320 Speaker 1: media right now who have great stories about, you know, 1307 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,760 Speaker 1: fly fishing with HW. I mean, I was I was 1308 01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:40,280 Speaker 1: a little kid when HW was was president, So I 1309 01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 1: don't really have any great personal stories of hanging out 1310 01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:45,559 Speaker 1: with him or anything like that. Actually never met the man. 1311 01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,960 Speaker 1: And but here's somebody who certainly knew him very very well, 1312 01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:54,679 Speaker 1: and that is former Vice President himself, Dick Cheney play 1313 01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:58,120 Speaker 1: clip twelve. Well, he had this amazing ability to sort 1314 01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 1: of for the personal touch, might get a note from 1315 01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 1: him on something you've done. I remember two thousand and 1316 01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:08,640 Speaker 1: four election night, we were upstairs in the residents at 1317 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 1: the White House and less one President Bush forty three 1318 01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,320 Speaker 1: and I were running for reelection, and Lena and I 1319 01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:18,400 Speaker 1: were there with the bushes and the big crowd, but 1320 01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:20,760 Speaker 1: we had our granddaughter, their oldest granddaughter. She was about 1321 01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:23,439 Speaker 1: seven years old at the time, and the President walked 1322 01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:27,800 Speaker 1: over to her and said, you're the youngest person here. 1323 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm the oldest less chat. He sat down and spent 1324 01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 1: a long time talking with the youngest person in the 1325 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,320 Speaker 1: room at that time. She's never forgotten it. Oppositly, she's 1326 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,439 Speaker 1: got a picture of it and everything else. But he 1327 01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,240 Speaker 1: had that people touch. I guess that he want to 1328 01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,880 Speaker 1: put it there where. There was no gesture that was 1329 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,800 Speaker 1: too small or insignificant in terms of what he was 1330 01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 1: willing to do to make peel people feel comfortable, to 1331 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:53,640 Speaker 1: help when he could help. Oh, he just was one 1332 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:57,559 Speaker 1: of the most thoughtful people I ever knew. So a 1333 01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:01,800 Speaker 1: lot of kind words there from Dick Cheney about push 1334 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:06,120 Speaker 1: forty one, and I think that that's pretty pretty much 1335 01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,400 Speaker 1: echoed throughout them from the people who knew him, that 1336 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:09,880 Speaker 1: he was a really good guy and a nice guy. 1337 01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:15,160 Speaker 1: But then you also get into what's happening, and it 1338 01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:19,400 Speaker 1: was worse during the McCain funeral and that era. But 1339 01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:24,880 Speaker 1: the notion of everything about about Bush is really, you know, 1340 01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,080 Speaker 1: all the all the different stories and all the different 1341 01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:33,120 Speaker 1: anecdotes are an opportunity to just beat up on Trump. 1342 01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:35,679 Speaker 1: And I find that very tiring, and I also find 1343 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:42,600 Speaker 1: it to be really a little exploitative. But that's not 1344 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 1: a surprise at all when you look at the media 1345 01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:46,439 Speaker 1: that we have and the way they conduct themselves. And 1346 01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:48,400 Speaker 1: speaking of the media and the way they conduct themselves, 1347 01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, negative coverage that favors the Democrat over the Republican. 1348 01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:57,559 Speaker 1: Uh dare I even say fake news? This is not 1349 01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 1: a this is not a new phenomenon. And I think 1350 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:05,200 Speaker 1: that's that's important for everybody to know. To remember, here's 1351 01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:07,479 Speaker 1: what Bush was saying back in nineteen ninety two when 1352 01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:11,920 Speaker 1: he was talking about the economy play clip thirteen. I 1353 01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:15,240 Speaker 1: think they're feeling negative about the economy because they hear 1354 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,040 Speaker 1: ninety two percent of the coverage on the television where 1355 01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people get their news from, on the 1356 01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:23,759 Speaker 1: economy has been negative. If there are some good things, 1357 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:28,679 Speaker 1: interest rates are down, people aren't being robbed by inflation anymore. 1358 01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 1: Inventories are down, we have it. I think we're pois 1359 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 1: for a dramatic recovery. Yeah, there were pois for a 1360 01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,439 Speaker 1: dramatic recovery. I mean then you got into the nineties 1361 01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:46,080 Speaker 1: and the markets were absolutely booming. Of course Bill Clinton 1362 01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:47,519 Speaker 1: gets credit for that, right, I mean, you know who 1363 01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 1: gets credit for what? Economy? This is one of the 1364 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,160 Speaker 1: great games that everyone the media likes to play because 1365 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,000 Speaker 1: it has so much political power. You know, when things 1366 01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,160 Speaker 1: are good, do you want to have your team get credit? 1367 01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,400 Speaker 1: When things are bad, you want to blame the other guy. 1368 01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:03,000 Speaker 1: And that's that's quite obvious, and that's what happens all 1369 01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:06,439 Speaker 1: the time. But you know, you look, you look at 1370 01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 1: the way that now we're being told, oh, well Bush. 1371 01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:12,240 Speaker 1: You know, Bush was a coalition builder. Look how he 1372 01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:14,800 Speaker 1: handled the First Persian Gulf War. Look at look at 1373 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,280 Speaker 1: the way that he handled himself in the world stage 1374 01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:19,920 Speaker 1: and with you and some people would would actually criticize 1375 01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,639 Speaker 1: a little bit of the Uh, what's what's the best 1376 01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,840 Speaker 1: way of saying this? His willingness to give away some 1377 01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:31,000 Speaker 1: degree of US sovereignty to these multinational bodies. I mean, 1378 01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:32,320 Speaker 1: I think that there are people who have a real 1379 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:34,600 Speaker 1: un understandable had had a real problem with that. That 1380 01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,960 Speaker 1: that's a legitimate criticism, a criticism of his legacy and 1381 01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 1: a criticism of of how he acted on the world stage. 1382 01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:44,519 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a damning one. But he was 1383 01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:48,080 Speaker 1: certainly a guy who was ja I say, a globalist. 1384 01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,800 Speaker 1: He took a very internationalist worldview, and his decision to 1385 01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:57,240 Speaker 1: raise taxes was a promise that he broke. Right, he 1386 01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,200 Speaker 1: broke is you know, read my lips, no new taxes, 1387 01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,120 Speaker 1: and then raised taxes. And then thanks to Ross Pero 1388 01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:05,799 Speaker 1: and you know, the third party candidate mess, you get 1389 01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:08,400 Speaker 1: President Bill Clinton, who comes along. I mean, I just 1390 01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:13,919 Speaker 1: I gotta think in retrospect, whoever voted for Bill Clinton 1391 01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:16,760 Speaker 1: over George H. W. Bush. That's such a fascinating who 1392 01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:18,519 Speaker 1: looks at those two guys, Who looks at these two 1393 01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:20,880 Speaker 1: men and says, yeah, you know what I want to 1394 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,120 Speaker 1: I want to go with that guy, the governor of Arkansas, 1395 01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,920 Speaker 1: who you know, Paro got nineteen percent of the vote. 1396 01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:32,400 Speaker 1: Everybody nineteen percent of the vote. So you know, the 1397 01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:35,280 Speaker 1: whole Clinton presidency for all the talkie here now from 1398 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,960 Speaker 1: Libs about how you know they they've won every popular 1399 01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:42,400 Speaker 1: vote and the whole Clinton presidency was really only popular, 1400 01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,960 Speaker 1: only possible rather because of a fluke, because of a 1401 01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:49,280 Speaker 1: fluke um. But that's that's what. But at least we 1402 01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:50,960 Speaker 1: don't blame the Russians. I mean, I'm not saying it 1403 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,479 Speaker 1: was an illegitimate election anyway. George H. W. Bush a 1404 01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,400 Speaker 1: great man by by all standards, I think, and uh, 1405 01:23:57,479 --> 01:24:00,439 Speaker 1: you know who'll be missed, and the country is in 1406 01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,760 Speaker 1: a feeling of mourning right now. But you know, I 1407 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:05,200 Speaker 1: like to think more about about the legacy of individuals. 1408 01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:07,919 Speaker 1: I will say the only because I have no emotional 1409 01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:11,040 Speaker 1: attachment to a man that I didn't know personally. But 1410 01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 1: the one thing that really kind of choked me up, 1411 01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 1: I think something you know what I'm talking about is 1412 01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:22,400 Speaker 1: his dog lying by the casket. Man. That just I 1413 01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:24,400 Speaker 1: don't know what it is about dogs and their and 1414 01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 1: their owner, and there the bond between them and you 1415 01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 1: know it was a service dog. But if you haven't 1416 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:31,920 Speaker 1: seen it, look at that. Just look at that photo 1417 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,400 Speaker 1: for a moment of George H. W. Bush and in 1418 01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:39,919 Speaker 1: the casket and his service dog right next to him. 1419 01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:41,680 Speaker 1: I had a friend asked me recently, Buck, what what 1420 01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:43,360 Speaker 1: do you do if you get hacked, and I said, well, 1421 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,080 Speaker 1: Snapper one is, don't get hacked, don't expose your stuff. 1422 01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:51,639 Speaker 1: Don't allow your information online to get pillaged by people 1423 01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:53,559 Speaker 1: that are going to exploit it or sell it or 1424 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,080 Speaker 1: do anything bad with it.

All dynamics that you see with 1446 01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,559 Speaker 1: CNN now and with MSNBC and with others, but particularly 1447 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:19,280 Speaker 1: with CNN, n ABC and NBC, you know, the network 1448 01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:27,560 Speaker 1: broadcast NCBs, all the dynamics of bias in the coverage, 1449 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:32,320 Speaker 1: of the whole notion of being objective journalists. It's just 1450 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,240 Speaker 1: one big lie. All of that has existed all along, 1451 01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:40,240 Speaker 1: and this moment where we're all talking about George H. W. Bush, 1452 01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:42,799 Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a good time to remember. 1453 01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,720 Speaker 1: I mean, here's when he was vice president running he 1454 01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:47,559 Speaker 1: had just been vice or yeah, it was vice president 1455 01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,719 Speaker 1: running for the presidency. He went on Dan Rather show 1456 01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:53,639 Speaker 1: CBA on CBS eaving news, and they were talking they're 1457 01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:58,000 Speaker 1: supposed to talk about, you know, what he wants to 1458 01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:00,679 Speaker 1: do as president wise running for president, but Dan Rather, 1459 01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:06,520 Speaker 1: in classic I'm a big you know, big jay liberal journo, 1460 01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,880 Speaker 1: decides to just dig in and go after him, I mean, 1461 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 1: really try to go after the president on Iran Contra, 1462 01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,160 Speaker 1: which is something that now Libs just bring up as 1463 01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:18,800 Speaker 1: a short Haliburton. It's just like Haliburton, you know, when 1464 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,639 Speaker 1: Libs want to when they want to bush George W. Bush, 1465 01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:23,920 Speaker 1: when they want to bash, when they want to bush 1466 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:28,320 Speaker 1: George W. Bash, they just say Haliburton. When they want 1467 01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:31,080 Speaker 1: to bash Cheney, they just say Haliburton's shorthand they don't 1468 01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:34,000 Speaker 1: even know what it really means. It's just bad Haliburton, bad, 1469 01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:37,559 Speaker 1: Iran Contra bad. They don't want anything beyond that. And 1470 01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:41,040 Speaker 1: in this exchange you kind of get that sense because remember, 1471 01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:43,439 Speaker 1: I mean, Dan Rather's really drilling down and it's kind 1472 01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:47,120 Speaker 1: of nothingness. But he's just trying to get it's a 1473 01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:51,240 Speaker 1: cross examination. It's not really a normal journalistic exchange. He's 1474 01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:55,639 Speaker 1: trying to get George HW caught up in a lie. 1475 01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:57,479 Speaker 1: Did we call him forty one instead of forty three? 1476 01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:59,040 Speaker 1: You gotta have a better way of talking about this. 1477 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,200 Speaker 1: But here's how it goes. Play the clip, discuss what 1478 01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 1: I talked to the president. Because there's a principle in 1479 01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:07,280 Speaker 1: Nothing to do with You Ron contract, it's the principle 1480 01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:11,920 Speaker 1: of confidentiality between the president presient president. Mister president, the 1481 01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,200 Speaker 1: President himself, who said he wants all the facts out. 1482 01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:16,479 Speaker 1: He gave up such things as even his own diary, 1483 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:21,120 Speaker 1: every principle, including scire diaries. He gave her some brief Well, Dan, 1484 01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 1: let's be careful here, because you're sure I want you 1485 01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,840 Speaker 1: to be careful, President, because will be careful, but I will. 1486 01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:29,719 Speaker 1: Problem here is that you repeatedly set it into meetings. 1487 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:32,680 Speaker 1: You set in the meeting in which secretary shoots in 1488 01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:36,280 Speaker 1: the most forceful way, rage registers objections, and then you 1489 01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:38,760 Speaker 1: said you never heard anybody rester if it was the 1490 01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:43,120 Speaker 1: most forceful way, I'd heard George be very very forceful. 1491 01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,400 Speaker 1: And if I were there and he was very very 1492 01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:47,920 Speaker 1: forceful at that meeting, I would have remembered that. I 1493 01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:49,920 Speaker 1: don't remember that. And how do you explain that you 1494 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:51,639 Speaker 1: can't remember it? The other people of the meeting said 1495 01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:55,000 Speaker 1: he was apppresident there at that point. You weren't that 1496 01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:57,080 Speaker 1: you weren't in the meeting, suggesting I'm just saying I 1497 01:28:57,120 --> 01:29:00,800 Speaker 1: don't remember it. I don't want to be orgumented, mister Dan, 1498 01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:03,679 Speaker 1: is not a because I want to talk about why 1499 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:06,519 Speaker 1: I want to be president. Plaus it for a second. 1500 01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:11,120 Speaker 1: Did have you ever heard Dan Rather get like that 1501 01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:14,960 Speaker 1: with anybody who wasn't a Republican, you know, just contradicting him, 1502 01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:17,840 Speaker 1: essentially going on hearsay. Well, other people who were in 1503 01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:21,080 Speaker 1: a meeting said that somebody was upset about something, and 1504 01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:23,320 Speaker 1: you're saying he wasn't upset about it, so you must 1505 01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:25,719 Speaker 1: be you must be lying. This is what he's saying. 1506 01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,400 Speaker 1: And he's really and he's just do you just tell 1507 01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:31,640 Speaker 1: he's just argumentative, he's under money. It's not it's not 1508 01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:34,599 Speaker 1: just Q and A. It's Q and attack. It's question 1509 01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:39,639 Speaker 1: and ambush, not question and answer. And this was what 1510 01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:41,800 Speaker 1: Dan Rather of course built his career on, which was 1511 01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:45,280 Speaker 1: being a democratic pretends to be a journalist. Rather's a 1512 01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 1: huge lib, huge lib and not a very impressive one either, 1513 01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:52,120 Speaker 1: not a very smart one, very lucky right place, right time, 1514 01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:54,760 Speaker 1: made a lot of money because of it, but not 1515 01:29:54,920 --> 01:30:00,879 Speaker 1: somebody that the generation currently of media person ladies, writers 1516 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:03,439 Speaker 1: on air has anything to learn from. And this guy 1517 01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 1: is just lucky he came along when he did and 1518 01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,640 Speaker 1: got the jobs that he did. But continue on with this, 1519 01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:09,599 Speaker 1: by the way, you notice how Bush, who you don't 1520 01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,400 Speaker 1: think of as feisty, Bush, fights back. He's like you 1521 01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:14,800 Speaker 1: want a peace on Let's go play it. Percent of 1522 01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:18,160 Speaker 1: the people are supporting me and US President judge a 1523 01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 1: whole career. It's not fair to judge my whole career 1524 01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:23,920 Speaker 1: by a rehash on Irun. How would you like it 1525 01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 1: if I judge your career by those seven minutes when 1526 01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:29,439 Speaker 1: you walked off the set in New York? Would you 1527 01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:32,080 Speaker 1: like that much? President? For you? But I don't have 1528 01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:34,639 Speaker 1: respect for what you're doing here tonight, mister mush President. 1529 01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:37,600 Speaker 1: I think you'll agree that your qualification for president and 1530 01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:39,400 Speaker 1: what kind of leadership you would bring the country, what 1531 01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:41,080 Speaker 1: kind of government you to have, what kind of people 1532 01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:43,120 Speaker 1: to have around him? It is much more just pausiveryone's 1533 01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:44,960 Speaker 1: saying just for those you don't know, which you all 1534 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:47,559 Speaker 1: probably know, it's better than me. But Dan Rather was 1535 01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:52,280 Speaker 1: angry because CBS Even News decided to broadcast the end 1536 01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:55,040 Speaker 1: of a tennis match on a Friday, and he walked 1537 01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:59,759 Speaker 1: off set during it, and it was six minutes, actually 1538 01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:04,360 Speaker 1: six minutes without any picture being transmitted. That was according 1539 01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:07,080 Speaker 1: to people at CBS. So so Dan Rather throw it 1540 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:10,240 Speaker 1: through a tantrum because they wanted to finish a professional 1541 01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:13,719 Speaker 1: tennis match instead of going to him with the news. 1542 01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:16,200 Speaker 1: You know, I mean Dan Rather is a is a big, 1543 01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:24,040 Speaker 1: self indulgent, classic liberal journal narcissistic baby, overpaid baby, and 1544 01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:27,719 Speaker 1: he threw a tantrum. And that's what Bush was referring 1545 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:29,240 Speaker 1: to there. So you know Bush, Bush is like, you 1546 01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:30,760 Speaker 1: want to you want to play someone, let's play. You 1547 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:32,360 Speaker 1: want to mix it up, Let's mix it up, all right, 1548 01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,960 Speaker 1: go back, John, play more than what you just referred to. 1549 01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:36,560 Speaker 1: I'd be happy to. I want to be judged on 1550 01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:38,439 Speaker 1: the whole record. Well, and you're not. And I'm trying 1551 01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:40,479 Speaker 1: to set the record straight. You invited me to come 1552 01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:42,960 Speaker 1: here to talk about I thought the whole record. I 1553 01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:44,720 Speaker 1: want you to talk about the record. You set up 1554 01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:46,960 Speaker 1: a meeting with George Schulz. Yes, he got av eplectic 1555 01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,200 Speaker 1: when he found out that you were when the president 1556 01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:53,080 Speaker 1: were being party of sending missiles to the Aetola Iran. 1557 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,360 Speaker 1: Can you explain how you were supposed to be the 1558 01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:58,800 Speaker 1: you are? You're an any terrorist expert. We Iran was 1559 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:07,360 Speaker 1: officially a terror state. You went around question but in 1560 01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:09,559 Speaker 1: the face in the world, how could you how could 1561 01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:13,160 Speaker 1: you sign on the state? Pause pause pause, Who does 1562 01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:15,559 Speaker 1: this remind you of? Who does this remind you of 1563 01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,080 Speaker 1: getting a little bit of an a Costa tingle, aren't you. 1564 01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:22,160 Speaker 1: He's not waiting for answer, he's this is a this 1565 01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:27,360 Speaker 1: is a debate, this is this is a a punditry battle. Now, 1566 01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:31,040 Speaker 1: Dan rather was the was the main news anchor for CBS, 1567 01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,920 Speaker 1: a quote news anchor, and he's saying, quote, you made 1568 01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:35,880 Speaker 1: us look hypocritical in the eyes of the world. You 1569 01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,360 Speaker 1: might as well have said, you know, the caravan's not 1570 01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:40,519 Speaker 1: going to come to the border. It's not an invasion, 1571 01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,679 Speaker 1: it's not that's not questions. You're speaking the Vice president 1572 01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:47,360 Speaker 1: the United States, and you're you're talking down to him 1573 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:51,160 Speaker 1: and getting snippy with him like he's some schoolboy. This 1574 01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:57,960 Speaker 1: is not new. It is not new. So I think 1575 01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:02,280 Speaker 1: that's very important for everybody to recognize um and just 1576 01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:06,000 Speaker 1: the way that he injects his opinion. We just know 1577 01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:09,360 Speaker 1: about it now. We have alternatives now. But anyway, and 1578 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:10,880 Speaker 1: he goes on to say, I thought this was a 1579 01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:14,880 Speaker 1: news program. It's a great line. That's what I mean. 1580 01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:17,559 Speaker 1: They're there, there's they're snippy with each other. They're they're 1581 01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, or rather, he's being snippy with Bush and bushes, 1582 01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:23,679 Speaker 1: you know, fighting back. But This is nothing new, folks. 1583 01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:25,680 Speaker 1: I just want to point that out. They don't like 1584 01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:30,000 Speaker 1: any Republicans. The lib media, they don't like Republicans. They're 1585 01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:34,200 Speaker 1: nasty than they undermine them. You know. They they've already 1586 01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:36,920 Speaker 1: been going after Bush for a for ae hundred different reasons. 1587 01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:40,760 Speaker 1: There's no honeymoon period of saying nice things that don't 1588 01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:43,160 Speaker 1: wait till the Uluji comes out. No, no, no, they 1589 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:46,839 Speaker 1: they just go right into God to establish the narrative. 1590 01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:50,160 Speaker 1: Got to create a history that is damaging for this guy. 1591 01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:52,960 Speaker 1: And that's the that's their number one priority. That's how 1592 01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:54,880 Speaker 1: they go about it. That's what they're trying to do. So, 1593 01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:57,559 Speaker 1: you know, we got to defend his legacy or else 1594 01:33:57,600 --> 01:34:00,839 Speaker 1: nobody else will. And he's a great man, not perfect, 1595 01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:05,120 Speaker 1: but really a really, really solid dude. I feel like 1596 01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:08,439 Speaker 1: this happens every year, but now that we've got the 1597 01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:11,719 Speaker 1: me too movement going on, people are even more attuned 1598 01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,920 Speaker 1: to this. Perhaps I think we're before songs that are 1599 01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:21,840 Speaker 1: no longer okay because of the sexual aggressiveness or the 1600 01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:25,559 Speaker 1: the undertones of them. And and I sit here and 1601 01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,479 Speaker 1: I just you know the one that that came up 1602 01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:32,719 Speaker 1: most recently, and it's now being kicked off of certain 1603 01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:39,280 Speaker 1: radio stations. Is Baby It's Cold Outside, which if you've 1604 01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:41,120 Speaker 1: never John are you familiar with this one? Do you 1605 01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,880 Speaker 1: know this song? I've heard it, but I'm not really 1606 01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:47,880 Speaker 1: a fan of it, don't really so yeah, I mean 1607 01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:51,479 Speaker 1: so so Baby It's Cold Outside is. It's an old 1608 01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:57,240 Speaker 1: song from nineteen forty four, written by Frank Looser, and 1609 01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:01,040 Speaker 1: it's a back and forth conversation with a guy who's 1610 01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:05,120 Speaker 1: trying to convince a woman to basically stay. And you know, initially, 1611 01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:09,360 Speaker 1: initially I thought, ah, well, you know, how bad could 1612 01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:12,519 Speaker 1: this really be? I went through the lyrics may be Honestly, 1613 01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,000 Speaker 1: the lyrics this are are interesting. I'm not saying it 1614 01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:17,080 Speaker 1: should be bad from the radio. Here's why. For one, 1615 01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:19,640 Speaker 1: it shouldn't be bad from the radio. It was a 1616 01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:22,600 Speaker 1: it was a sweeter, gentler time in the media, and 1617 01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,120 Speaker 1: people didn't you know that, they didn't think of these 1618 01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:28,120 Speaker 1: things as quite as literally as we do now. For one, 1619 01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:32,320 Speaker 1: they thought it was entertainment. And two, you know, if 1620 01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:34,639 Speaker 1: you're gonna ban Baby It's Cold Outside, then I feel 1621 01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:37,320 Speaker 1: like you probably also have to ban the time is 1622 01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:42,280 Speaker 1: classic by DJ Khalid Bitches and Bottles, which Johnny familiar 1623 01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:45,200 Speaker 1: with that one. Never heard of it. That's that's a 1624 01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:46,920 Speaker 1: song that you could hear on the radio right now. 1625 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,439 Speaker 1: In fact, it was on a workout back when I 1626 01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,000 Speaker 1: used to have the time and energy to work out. 1627 01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:52,960 Speaker 1: It was on a workout mix that I downloaded from 1628 01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:55,200 Speaker 1: the internet and I said, oh my gosh, the song 1629 01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:59,080 Speaker 1: is so misogynistic. But baby it's cold outside. The lyrics 1630 01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:02,559 Speaker 1: are I really can't stay and the guy says, baby, 1631 01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:04,639 Speaker 1: it's cold outside, and she says, I gotta go away. 1632 01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:09,400 Speaker 1: He says, baby, it's cold outside. Uh, my mother will 1633 01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:12,440 Speaker 1: start to worry, and then he says, beautiful, what's your hurry? 1634 01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:15,120 Speaker 1: My father will be pacing the floor. Listen to the 1635 01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:20,120 Speaker 1: fireplace roar. So really, i'd better, I'd better scurry, Beautiful, 1636 01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:23,280 Speaker 1: please don't hurry. Well, maybe just a half a more drink. 1637 01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:26,519 Speaker 1: I'll pour, I'll put on some records while I pour, 1638 01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:30,600 Speaker 1: And it just kind of goes on and on and uh, 1639 01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:33,400 Speaker 1: you know it's it's supposed to be cute. I mean 1640 01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,680 Speaker 1: it's not. But you know, he's he's he would I 1641 01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:39,360 Speaker 1: feel like you read the lyrics to baby it's cold outside, 1642 01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:41,839 Speaker 1: and you think this guy would take no for an answer. 1643 01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:46,280 Speaker 1: She's just being a little uh, you know, a little playing. 1644 01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:48,080 Speaker 1: She's playing a little hard to get, you know, in 1645 01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:52,559 Speaker 1: the old school fashion. And I feel like people just 1646 01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,760 Speaker 1: no longer are able to look at anything in their context. 1647 01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:59,280 Speaker 1: I mean, when you when you look at pep Peppy 1648 01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:04,120 Speaker 1: a pew um, when you look at Peppi lapew you 1649 01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:09,880 Speaker 1: see that he said things, for example, that would have 1650 01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:12,479 Speaker 1: and did things. Remember Pep Lepu? I am shy, but 1651 01:37:12,640 --> 01:37:16,720 Speaker 1: WILLI John you know Peppy Lapu? Right? I'm not? Yeah, 1652 01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:19,400 Speaker 1: I remember that. I remember watching those cartoons as a kid. 1653 01:37:19,800 --> 01:37:22,519 Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta I wish we had Do we 1654 01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:24,360 Speaker 1: have some? Is there some Peppy Lapu that I could 1655 01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:27,000 Speaker 1: even sort of remind myself of? Here I don't even know, 1656 01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, Peppi Lapu was a guy who was a cartoon. 1657 01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:31,960 Speaker 1: It used to be very kind of grabby and kissy 1658 01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:36,120 Speaker 1: and everything else. And uh, here you a home of 1659 01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:40,120 Speaker 1: spring flowers that bloom in the spring. Come my little 1660 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:48,080 Speaker 1: peanut of brittle. Hello, I am z lucksmist of love. No, 1661 01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:56,880 Speaker 1: I am she broken out of love. I am c dissolution. 1662 01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:59,639 Speaker 1: I am broken out of love. It is not even 1663 01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:06,080 Speaker 1: really French. It's kind of like a mishmash European accent, like, 1664 01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:08,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, that's not really that doesn't strike me. 1665 01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 1: That's French. I feel like also, they've had many different 1666 01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:13,360 Speaker 1: voice actors do him over the years. Well you know, producer, Mike, 1667 01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:18,000 Speaker 1: where'd you go? I'm here? Man? Oh, okay, there you are. Um, 1668 01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:21,760 Speaker 1: so what is this about about the teacher that says no, 1669 01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:27,000 Speaker 1: uh no Santa Claus. Yeah, and this quick little disclaimer 1670 01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:30,800 Speaker 1: to those who might be traveling around with little kids. Um, yeah, 1671 01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:33,320 Speaker 1: there's a new Jersey teacher who told her first graders 1672 01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:36,040 Speaker 1: that there's no Santa Claus. I mean, what's up with that? 1673 01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:38,679 Speaker 1: I mean, are we really you know, I'm a little 1674 01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:40,800 Speaker 1: bit I'm a little bit of a heretic on this. So, Mike, 1675 01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:42,519 Speaker 1: are we really supposed to keep lying kids and telling 1676 01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:44,360 Speaker 1: him verus the Santa Claus? Why why do we do that? 1677 01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:46,679 Speaker 1: I don't really know about this, you know, because kids 1678 01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:49,519 Speaker 1: love it, and we do things that kids love. I 1679 01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:51,559 Speaker 1: feel like I feel like we shouldn't tell kids lives. 1680 01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:54,600 Speaker 1: Let's see, I kind of agree with this teach We 1681 01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:56,240 Speaker 1: can lie, we can lie. We can stop telling them 1682 01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:58,519 Speaker 1: lies when they're a little older. But why they're like 1683 01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:02,040 Speaker 1: in the bliss of their youth and and believing in 1684 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:04,200 Speaker 1: things that make them feel good, you know. And is 1685 01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:06,599 Speaker 1: it really up to her to burst the bubbles? Well, 1686 01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:09,720 Speaker 1: I guess that's parents should be the ones that make 1687 01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:13,680 Speaker 1: the decision. But a New Jersey substitute teacher shattered the 1688 01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:15,080 Speaker 1: hearts of first grade as a court of the New 1689 01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:17,000 Speaker 1: York New York Post here by telling him Santa Claus 1690 01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:20,679 Speaker 1: and his reindeers were reindeer Reindeer's Good God book Reindeer 1691 01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:24,160 Speaker 1: were and we're not real. And then she unleashed on them. 1692 01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:26,280 Speaker 1: She told him Santa isn't real and parents just buy 1693 01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:28,599 Speaker 1: presents and put them under the tree. Oh wow, So 1694 01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:30,439 Speaker 1: she went on like an anti Christmas rant. So she 1695 01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:33,479 Speaker 1: really is a grinch correct in fact that there's probably 1696 01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:35,120 Speaker 1: another word that one might be able to use, But 1697 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:37,200 Speaker 1: we have children listening, and so we'll just say she's 1698 01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:40,760 Speaker 1: a grinch. Um. But indeed, yes, I think that it's 1699 01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:43,200 Speaker 1: up to parents. If I had kids, which you know, 1700 01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:45,519 Speaker 1: hopefully one day, I feel like I would tell them 1701 01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:47,760 Speaker 1: the I would tell them the whole truth and nothing 1702 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:50,120 Speaker 1: about the truth about Santa and then just let them 1703 01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:51,840 Speaker 1: go into the mythology of it. But yes, it is 1704 01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:54,040 Speaker 1: not up to teachers to tell people, Wow, we covered 1705 01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:56,600 Speaker 1: a lot of ground here. We've got Peppi lapew, we 1706 01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:01,400 Speaker 1: got Santa's reindeer, and we really a lot today. We 1707 01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:03,280 Speaker 1: do have roll call coming up in a moment, though, 1708 01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:14,479 Speaker 1: which will be fun, so stay with us. Hey, teen buck, 1709 01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:25,639 Speaker 1: it's time for roll call. The dubstep roll call gets 1710 01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:29,639 Speaker 1: it done. Oh man, my voice a little raspy. It's 1711 01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:31,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of I got a little sick this weekend, 1712 01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:36,040 Speaker 1: so hopefully tomorrow it will be better. Sometimes it gets worse, 1713 01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of days into it. Your voice 1714 01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:40,240 Speaker 1: really your voice box really drives up. But today it's 1715 01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:44,280 Speaker 1: a little been a little uh, a little gravelly. All right, 1716 01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:49,479 Speaker 1: Facebook dot com, slashbucks accident for all your role call needs, 1717 01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:54,799 Speaker 1: Let's get to it, Keith, writes Buck. If the Special 1718 01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:57,519 Speaker 1: prosecutor's final report turns out to be political in nature 1719 01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:01,280 Speaker 1: rather than a standard prosecutorial report, would it be subject 1720 01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:05,759 Speaker 1: to the OSC's new Hatch Act guidelines. Keith, it sounds 1721 01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:09,560 Speaker 1: like you may know more about this than me. New 1722 01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:12,760 Speaker 1: Office of Special Counsel Hatch Act guidelines, don't I don't know. 1723 01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:16,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what those guidelines are, but I'm guessing no, 1724 01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:22,960 Speaker 1: I'm guessing that somehow this won't be a problem for 1725 01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:25,479 Speaker 1: the Special Counsel, no matter what they write in that report. 1726 01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:28,360 Speaker 1: And I think I'm on pretty solid ground in making 1727 01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:32,040 Speaker 1: that prediction. Jackie writes, Buck, it would appear we have 1728 01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:35,920 Speaker 1: the same Netflix watch lists even before you mentioned them 1729 01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:39,080 Speaker 1: on the podcast. We watch Penny Dreadful, Peaky Blinders, and 1730 01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:42,120 Speaker 1: just started season one of The Last Kingdom this past weekend. 1731 01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:45,000 Speaker 1: We recently watched Nightfall, which I think is worth of view. 1732 01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,720 Speaker 1: I really enjoy your podcasts and your humor. Look forward 1733 01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:50,439 Speaker 1: to more Netflix show recommendations. Thanks for a great show 1734 01:41:50,439 --> 01:41:54,120 Speaker 1: of your own, Jackie. Well, Jackie, you clearly have fantastic 1735 01:41:54,200 --> 01:41:58,559 Speaker 1: taste in radio shows as well as Netflix fair I 1736 01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:02,400 Speaker 1: will say I did not really like Nightfall. I tried. 1737 01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:05,720 Speaker 1: It's about knights Templar after the period of the Crusades, 1738 01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:08,360 Speaker 1: but I just thought it was took itself a little 1739 01:42:08,400 --> 01:42:10,360 Speaker 1: too seriously. It was a little kind of overwrought for 1740 01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:13,960 Speaker 1: my taste. But you know, to each his own, Peaky Blinder's, 1741 01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:17,880 Speaker 1: Penny Dreadful, and Last Kingdom are all great, so I'm 1742 01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:22,400 Speaker 1: glad you're liking those if you have not already watched Ozark, 1743 01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:25,479 Speaker 1: I highly, I highly recommend you put that one into 1744 01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:29,599 Speaker 1: the mix too. And Narcos obviously, which is my fate 1745 01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:33,600 Speaker 1: of all the Netflix originals. Narcos is my favorite, my 1746 01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:39,559 Speaker 1: favorite show. But Jackie, thank you so much for writing in. TJ. Wright, 1747 01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:43,240 Speaker 1: tell jam all way to go to make that rising 1748 01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:47,240 Speaker 1: panel entirely about Donald Trump instead of hw Bush this morning. 1749 01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:50,840 Speaker 1: It was quite annoying and disrespectful. He needs to work 1750 01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:53,240 Speaker 1: on containing his hatred for Trump. He's really annoying to 1751 01:42:53,280 --> 01:42:58,840 Speaker 1: watch sometimes. Well, TJ, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave that 1752 01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:00,160 Speaker 1: one to you if you want to pass that a 1753 01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:04,800 Speaker 1: log to Jabal, I don't. I am first and foremost 1754 01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:09,000 Speaker 1: obligated to be to get along with my my liberal 1755 01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:12,960 Speaker 1: colleagues at the Hill. So that's that is my mandate 1756 01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:15,080 Speaker 1: for for my time there, and that is what I 1757 01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:19,040 Speaker 1: will always try to do. That all said, as a 1758 01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:22,599 Speaker 1: general matter, as I have been saying this show, I 1759 01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:30,400 Speaker 1: find it very annoying and yes, very tiresome that people 1760 01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:35,080 Speaker 1: take every operatuny everything is a commentary on Trump. A 1761 01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:36,920 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of folks out there are really 1762 01:43:36,960 --> 01:43:40,360 Speaker 1: more obsessed with Trump than Trump is. They can't help 1763 01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:45,160 Speaker 1: themselves but turn every conversation into a referendum on all 1764 01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:48,800 Speaker 1: things Trump. And I just wish, I just wish they 1765 01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:52,920 Speaker 1: would realize how weird it has become. Now, you know, 1766 01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:57,200 Speaker 1: George hw Bush passes away, it's a commentary on Trump. 1767 01:43:57,600 --> 01:44:02,880 Speaker 1: Jamal Kashogi gets murdered. It's a commentary on Trump. You 1768 01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:05,720 Speaker 1: know there are forest fires in California, it's a commentary 1769 01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:09,639 Speaker 1: on Trump. I mean everything. People really need a bit 1770 01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:14,960 Speaker 1: more perspective. Jar rights on the whole Rudolph, the Red 1771 01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:18,000 Speaker 1: Nose Randeer fiasco. Why do people always have to make 1772 01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:20,640 Speaker 1: it some all encompassing big picture instead of looking at 1773 01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:24,280 Speaker 1: the story in light that is one individual lesson. Rudolph 1774 01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:26,960 Speaker 1: is a heartwarming story about how people are jerks until 1775 01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:29,960 Speaker 1: you need something from them, like when you're moving and 1776 01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:33,160 Speaker 1: your co worker owns a truck. Absolutely Jar And let 1777 01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:38,240 Speaker 1: me say I can add to that the very very 1778 01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:41,400 Speaker 1: important role that the shagging wagon played. When I was 1779 01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:45,680 Speaker 1: in college, my wood paneled Buick Roadmaster station wagon in 1780 01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:52,080 Speaker 1: a pale blue It was very popular among my dorm 1781 01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:55,439 Speaker 1: mates because it was one of the few cars that 1782 01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:58,840 Speaker 1: could really handle a queen size Futon in the back, 1783 01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:02,599 Speaker 1: no problem. I mean to move the futon, not to leave. 1784 01:45:02,680 --> 01:45:04,719 Speaker 1: I know we call the shagging wagon, but that's because 1785 01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:08,960 Speaker 1: there was no shaggin in that wagon, but the futon 1786 01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:11,160 Speaker 1: in the back that was for moving purposes, not for 1787 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:15,840 Speaker 1: any other kind of purpose. Yes, indeed, so a jar. 1788 01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:19,800 Speaker 1: I agree with you. On Rudolph, Steve says crazy uncle 1789 01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:22,320 Speaker 1: calls Diehard a Christmas movie. In fact, it's more of 1790 01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:25,240 Speaker 1: a Christmas movie than Bells of Saint Mary. All of 1791 01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:28,360 Speaker 1: Diehard's action happens on Christmas Eve, whereas only one brief 1792 01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:31,400 Speaker 1: scene in Bells happens on Christmas. So why is one 1793 01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:34,799 Speaker 1: considered a Christmas movie but not the other. Merry Christmas? 1794 01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:38,200 Speaker 1: And don't shoot your eye out? Okay, Steve, thank you 1795 01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:40,120 Speaker 1: speaking to shoot your eye out. You know, I was 1796 01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:44,519 Speaker 1: watching Tombstone, which the movie that I just I just love. 1797 01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:47,800 Speaker 1: I've seen it so so many times. I think it's 1798 01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:52,599 Speaker 1: Val Kilmer's single best role ever in anything. And people 1799 01:45:52,680 --> 01:45:54,680 Speaker 1: always say Jim Morrison the Doors, so I think that's 1800 01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:58,439 Speaker 1: a lot of nostalgia stuff. And the depiction was very accurate, 1801 01:45:58,479 --> 01:45:59,920 Speaker 1: I know, and some people were really impressed by that. 1802 01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:03,479 Speaker 1: But the Doors movie kind of stunk. The doors were 1803 01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:05,439 Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna lose some of you right now, 1804 01:46:05,479 --> 01:46:07,040 Speaker 1: some of you getting annoyed at me. But the doors 1805 01:46:07,439 --> 01:46:10,679 Speaker 1: a little overrated. There's only there's only so much. There's 1806 01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:14,559 Speaker 1: only so much organ music you can handle before it 1807 01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,400 Speaker 1: sounds like you're at a ball game. And as to 1808 01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:19,920 Speaker 1: die Hard, will die Hard is amazing and perfect. Oh 1809 01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:23,160 Speaker 1: but in in Tombstone, there's a scene where some of 1810 01:46:23,240 --> 01:46:26,120 Speaker 1: you recall this, you've seen the movie many times. There's 1811 01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:29,880 Speaker 1: a play and they're doing uh like saying crispin speech 1812 01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:36,160 Speaker 1: and it's actually Billy Zane from Sniper and also Titanic. 1813 01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:40,479 Speaker 1: Remember Billy Zane on hand heard you filth look at 1814 01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:42,360 Speaker 1: me when I'm speaking to you filth or whatever. You know. 1815 01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:44,760 Speaker 1: He's talking to Leonardo DiCaprio and Titanic. Yeah, I saw 1816 01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:46,639 Speaker 1: a Titanic a lot. Make fun of me. Go ahead, 1817 01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:51,559 Speaker 1: we've all you've seen. You've seen Titanic too. Don't don't 1818 01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:54,800 Speaker 1: give me that. Don't try that. Some of you out 1819 01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:58,280 Speaker 1: there right now or oh, buck, I never said everybody 1820 01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:03,840 Speaker 1: saw a Titanic at Billy Zane in Tombstone. Curly Bill 1821 01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:06,000 Speaker 1: who's in the audience of a play in the town 1822 01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:08,360 Speaker 1: of Tombstone just pulls out his gun and starts shooting 1823 01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:10,880 Speaker 1: at Billy Zane on stage, and he doesn't really miss 1824 01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:13,200 Speaker 1: a beat. He kind of just like, you know, it says, yeah, whatever, 1825 01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:15,680 Speaker 1: I don't care where you are. If someone pulls out 1826 01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:18,240 Speaker 1: a six shooter and starts firing rounds over your head, 1827 01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:20,160 Speaker 1: you don't just sort of go, oh, well, that was 1828 01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:22,080 Speaker 1: kind of funny. That's part of the movie is a 1829 01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:23,840 Speaker 1: little weird. If you go back and watch, you'll know 1830 01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:26,240 Speaker 1: exactly some of you think I'm being weird right now, 1831 01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:28,320 Speaker 1: go back and watch them exactly what I'm talking about. 1832 01:47:29,320 --> 01:47:31,720 Speaker 1: Jenna writes, Don't you think these extra Twitter terms of 1833 01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:35,000 Speaker 1: service and banning are because they ultimately hate Trump and 1834 01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:37,640 Speaker 1: how and conservatives and how they use Twitter. Wouldn't they 1835 01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:40,360 Speaker 1: just love to ban the president for crossing an arbitrary line? Well, Jen, 1836 01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:42,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they want to ban the president because 1837 01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:47,559 Speaker 1: Trump has has made Twitter necessary. I mean, Trump has 1838 01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:50,520 Speaker 1: made Twitter more than relevant. You can't be a journalist 1839 01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:53,160 Speaker 1: now and not have access and not be aware of Twitter. 1840 01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:56,719 Speaker 1: You just can't because the president is putting out his thoughts. 1841 01:47:56,720 --> 01:48:00,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you're getting essentially presidential proclamations via Twitter, which 1842 01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:05,000 Speaker 1: is pretty amazing Kevin and Rights. I'm glad to watch 1843 01:48:05,080 --> 01:48:08,519 Speaker 1: The Last Kingdom. It's awesome. You should try Frontier two. 1844 01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:10,400 Speaker 1: Thank you for what you do or I enjoy your 1845 01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:11,920 Speaker 1: show as well as others than them Blaze keep up 1846 01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:14,839 Speaker 1: the good work.

Is 1849 01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:26,559 Speaker 1: my brain is having a tough time with recall today 1850 01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:31,439 Speaker 1: the show Game of Thrones. He plays drug Carl Drogo 1851 01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:36,360 Speaker 1: Cal Drogo. That guy is in the show Frontiers. So yeah, 1852 01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:38,200 Speaker 1: I could, I could check it out. I'll give it 1853 01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:41,439 Speaker 1: a shot. I'll give it a whirl. Steve writes buck 1854 01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:44,800 Speaker 1: love the show. Just diving into Friday's podcast, when is 1855 01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:47,960 Speaker 1: a lie a lie? Love the comparisons depending on which 1856 01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,800 Speaker 1: side of the Trump aisle you're standing on. As for 1857 01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:52,639 Speaker 1: the Model report, I think it's going to be replete 1858 01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:55,360 Speaker 1: with could have been, may have been, possibly had, and 1859 01:48:55,479 --> 01:48:59,360 Speaker 1: appears to have type qualifiers throughout because they got nothing 1860 01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:02,160 Speaker 1: about the so called collusion, well unless you look at 1861 01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:04,519 Speaker 1: the Hillary camp. But those are the not the droids 1862 01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:07,440 Speaker 1: we're looking for a side note, have you watched Frontier 1863 01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:10,160 Speaker 1: on Netflix? I love it and the only complaint is 1864 01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:13,719 Speaker 1: there only six episodes per season. Shields way high. Well, Steve, 1865 01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:16,320 Speaker 1: you are on this show the second person to give 1866 01:49:16,360 --> 01:49:18,840 Speaker 1: me a recommendation for Frontier on Netflix. I'm going to 1867 01:49:18,920 --> 01:49:22,080 Speaker 1: have to check it out. It sounds like this is 1868 01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:26,800 Speaker 1: something I need to see. I will give it a go. 1869 01:49:28,880 --> 01:49:32,800 Speaker 1: Where do we have here, Michael writes, mister Sexton, I've 1870 01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:34,960 Speaker 1: been a loyal listener for a while. Your voice is 1871 01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,680 Speaker 1: when I lean on when I need clarity. Your pragmatic 1872 01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:40,599 Speaker 1: is refreshing me, even if your impressions aren't quite rich 1873 01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:44,400 Speaker 1: little sorry, Michael, that's okay, I do miss your history lessons. 1874 01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:47,400 Speaker 1: As a founder of a veterans nonprofit, I am coming 1875 01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:49,960 Speaker 1: to you with frustration. You've put yourself out as a 1876 01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:53,639 Speaker 1: spokesman of Black Rifle Coffee Company, and we've been attempting 1877 01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:56,479 Speaker 1: to contact them with no success. I'm turning to you 1878 01:49:56,520 --> 01:49:58,840 Speaker 1: to ask you to facilitate a phone call a Black Rifle. 1879 01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:00,679 Speaker 1: I understand you're a busy man. I'm working all hours 1880 01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:03,840 Speaker 1: the day, but i'd appreciate your assistance from Michael, who 1881 01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:06,760 Speaker 1: is a veteran Michael, I will give you in this 1882 01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:09,720 Speaker 1: message here the email that I think would be the 1883 01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:11,400 Speaker 1: best one for you to use for Black Rifle. That 1884 01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:14,639 Speaker 1: will get right through to them and hopefully they can 1885 01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:15,960 Speaker 1: help you out. I'm sure it wants they know that 1886 01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:17,679 Speaker 1: you're a veteran, you've got something to talk to them about, 1887 01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:21,000 Speaker 1: or you need either help or some kind of partnership 1888 01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:23,160 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. I'm sure they'll hear you out. 1889 01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:27,760 Speaker 1: And they're great guys who run that company, so I'll 1890 01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:29,240 Speaker 1: make sure that you can at least get in touch 1891 01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:32,160 Speaker 1: with them effectively. Ethan writes Buck, just wanting to say 1892 01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:34,599 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more with the assessment of Batman Begins 1893 01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:38,320 Speaker 1: easily the best movie of that series. Dark Knight had 1894 01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:40,760 Speaker 1: some excellent scenes, but the story just lack cohesion and 1895 01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:43,920 Speaker 1: flow of the first Dark Knight rises. Don't get me started. 1896 01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:46,800 Speaker 1: I prefer to pretend that movie never happens, sort of 1897 01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:50,320 Speaker 1: like every Terminator movie. After T two Shields, hie Ethan 1898 01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:54,400 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Well, Ethan, you're totally right, So I think 1899 01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:56,719 Speaker 1: I'll just leave it that you're just totally right.
