1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunch, a massacre of Americans

2
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: in Mexico at the hands of the vicious cartels. We'll

3
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: talk about where that stands right now. Also, the transcript

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: is out of at least one impeachment witness against Trump.

5
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: We know the Democrats are cheating on the process. Baseball's

6
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: kurts Zuki was at the White House and he did

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: something that upsets some folks. Also, has Jack Ryan been ruined?

8
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: And is Aunt Becky going to prison for forty years?

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: That and more coming up. This is the buck Sexton Show,

10
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a

12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: great American. Again the buck Sexton Show begins, Remember the

13
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: nimpd buck Sexton. Welcome to the buck Sex and the Show. Everybody,

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here. We have a

15
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: lot to get to today. As is our custom, I

16
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: did want to start off though, with an absolutely gut punch,

17
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: a gut punching, heart wrenching, really horrific story that I think,

18
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: unfortunately is a harbinger of some further violence and instability

19
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 1: on our southern border to come. Here's where it stands

20
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: right now. Cartel gunmen have killed at least nine US citizens,

21
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: including six children, who were in the Mexican border state

22
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: of Sonora. This is not far from the US Mexico

23
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: border with Arizona where this attack took place. Ranita Maria

24
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: LeBaron died along with her six month old twins and

25
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: her two other children aged ten and twelve. Christina at

26
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Langford Johnson, Donna Langford and two of Donna's children, aged

27
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: three and eleven, were also killed. The victims here belonged

28
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: to the LeBaron family. They are US citizens, dual citizens

29
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: with Mexico who live who live in a Mormon breakaway

30
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: community in this part of northern rural northern Mexico. The stories,

31
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: the details that we have so far about this coordinated

32
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: ambush are horrific, beyond imagining. There were children who died

33
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: as these cars were on fire. They were strapped in

34
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: the vehicles unable to escape. Children were reportedly executed while

35
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: trying to run away from this three suv convoy after

36
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: it had been attacked. There's also some early reports and

37
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: indications that some of the women who were captured, they

38
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: believe members of the family may have been captured or

39
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: being held. We're sexually assaulted in this whole process too,

40
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: as vicious and awful in ambush as you could imagine

41
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: murdering children. A lot of people are going to see

42
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: this and say, wait a second, you mean that Mexico

43
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: is in a really bad place. This will be something

44
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: of a surprise to them, not people who watch and

45
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: listen to this show. However, you will recall that we

46
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: have done in recent weeks stories on what happened in

47
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: Kuliya Khan, Mexico, where you had cartel gunman on behalf

48
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: of Chapo Guzman's son O video shut down essentially an

49
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: entire city, a major city in Mexico, and have the

50
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: national government back off. You know, when the national government

51
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: backs off of a gunfight with the bad guys, with

52
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: the thugs, you're in a very bad place. I've also

53
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: been telling you now for the last two years that

54
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: Mexico has the highest murder rate that it has had

55
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: in history. Right now, that Mexico is seeing more violence

56
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: internally than at any time since they have been counting homicides.

57
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: How much of this do you see getting attention in

58
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: the news media. There are reasons for that, my friends,

59
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: This is not an oversight, This is not an accident.

60
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: And I will get into why this doesn't fit the

61
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: narrative for the mainstream meeting in a second. But going

62
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: back into this, this ambush of women and children, defenseless

63
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 1: women and children in a convoy on a dirt road,

64
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: I do not believe. And this is now assessment. This

65
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: is not reporting. This is not based on anything other

66
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: than me looking through the details. But I used to

67
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: do this quite a bit at the CIA and then

68
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: at the NYPD Intelligence Division, look at the early signs

69
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: to try to understand what the indicators are. People who

70
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: are saying that this is an accident, meaning they thought

71
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: that they were attacking a rival cartel, I don't believe that.

72
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I don't believe it. People who

73
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: are referring to this as being caught in the crossfire, well,

74
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: that suggests that there were people on the other side

75
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: firing and this convoy somehow got in the middle, which

76
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: there's no evidence to support that either. I think there's

77
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: a real effort here and some people from some people

78
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: in our media, in the US media, to find an

79
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: explanation for this that's not The cartels basically run Mexico,

80
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: that the cartels are now more powerful than any politician,

81
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: more powerful than the central government in a day to

82
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: day way, and that they're just covering this up, and

83
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: that Lopez Obrador has been with his hugs not bullets

84
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: policy that's actually a thing, by the way, trying to

85
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: find ways to do development and to not go to

86
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: war with the cartels. The cartels have gone to war

87
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: with Mexico, and what they show us now is that

88
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: they have no problem engaging in the worst atrocities, not

89
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 1: just against cartel rivals and innocent Mexicans, to the tune

90
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: of tens of thousands of people a year, about thirty

91
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: to thirty five thousand murders in Mexico every year. That's

92
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: a lot for a country that's less than half the

93
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: size of the United States and has about double our

94
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: murder rate, perhaps even more like two and a half times.

95
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: So there's a big problem here. But that the cartel

96
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: would do this, this could be something of a turning point.

97
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: You would think that perhaps this would get attention. These

98
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: were Americans. These were at least nine perhaps more killed

99
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: and perhaps more captured. Now and who knows what's going on. Unthinkable, unthinkable,

100
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: atrocities in captivity. But these are our people. These are Americans. Yes,

101
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: they're dual citizens, they're American citizens too, and they are

102
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: down there in Mexico and they were just slaughter by cartels.

103
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: Now I appreciate that President Trump has taken the position

104
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: he has on this. He says that a wonderful family,

105
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: this was on Twitter this morning, A wonderful family and

106
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: friends from Utah got caught between two vicious drug cartels

107
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: who were shooting at each other, with the result being

108
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: many great American people killed, including young children, and some missing.

109
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: If Mexico needs a request help in cleaning out these monsters,

110
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: the United States stands ready, willing and able to get

111
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: involved and do the job quickly and effectively. The great

112
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: new president of Mexico has made this a big issue.

113
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: But that cartels have become so large and powerful. You

114
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: need sometimes an army to defeat an army. So the

115
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: President is saying here himself that they were caught in

116
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: the crossfire. I can't understand how that would work though.

117
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: And if they're caught on the crossfire, why would children

118
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: running away from the convoy be specifically executed. They couldn't

119
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: be concerned about these kids ide and cartel gunmen from

120
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: Afar and those are that's already in the reporting. So

121
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: I think that in the initial assessment here there are

122
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: mistakes that are being made. I'll update this as we

123
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: find out, as we find out more. That seemed to

124
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: me to be a first take on the issue, unless

125
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: the other eyewitness accounts that we're hearing about are incorrect.

126
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: It's also noteworthy that Mexican authorities were not particularly helpful

127
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: in this, and that family members of those who had

128
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: been murdered had to swarm the hills around this attack

129
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: site themselves looking for survivors. So the Mexican government does

130
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: not have this well in hand. They will also, of

131
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: course not invite in at least not openly direct American

132
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: kinnetic Assistant show. We say, at least not something that

133
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: they'll talk about publicly. We have a real problem here.

134
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: Even if let's assume for a moment that the initial

135
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: reporting about this being a caught in the crossfire moment

136
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: is true, well, then that would mean that the cartels

137
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: are still willing to execute women and children in the

138
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: midst of a gun battle with their opponents knowing that

139
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: this is going to be I mean even in Mexico.

140
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: This incident was going to get a lot of attention.

141
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: They don't care. They're not worried about the bad press.

142
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: Particularly there's been so many there have been so many

143
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: murders and so many atrocities in Mexico. They have police

144
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: convoys that are ambushed with I think it was recently

145
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: nine officers in one instance murdered by cartel gunmen. Why

146
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: does this come as a surprise to so many Americans?

147
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: Why does this come as a surprise to people in

148
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: this country. Well, we are led to believe by the press,

149
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: by the Democratic Party, by the open borders movement here,

150
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: that Mexico is not a security concern for us, when

151
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: if you look at the amount of heroine that is

152
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: pouring into this country as well as opioids, the number

153
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: of people that are dying from those heroin and opioid overdoses,

154
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: and who controls that trade, it is almost entirely the

155
00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: Mexican drug cartels. Mexican drug cartels are poisoning American city.

156
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: Thousands and thousands of people now are dying every year,

157
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: over seventy thousand in one of our particularly bad recent years.

158
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 1: And I know that the press likes to beat up

159
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: on pharmaceutical companies, and there were some pharmer companies that

160
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: engaged in unethical practices for which they have now been

161
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: financially annihilated, and perhaps they will also be further criminal

162
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: sanction against individuals involved, including doctors prescribing drugs. But keep

163
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: in mind that the way our laws work in this

164
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: country right now, if someone sells opioids to a person

165
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: who overdoses, they don't get charged with just selling a

166
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: controlled substance. They are charged with manslaughter or murder. They

167
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: are held responsible for that homicide. So, based on that

168
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: very same legal approach, which is a day to day

169
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: reality here in America, the drug cartels a response, well,

170
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: for killing thousands and thousands of Americans every year, who

171
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: knows how many. It's very tough to actually get this data.

172
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: I've asked around for it. I even asked somebody, a

173
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: contact of the DA say, well, it's hard to know

174
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: where the drugs come from. So we know most of

175
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: the drugs come from Mexico. We know about sixty to

176
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: seventy thousand people are dying from these drug overdoses every year.

177
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: We know Big Pharma has been put on notice, and

178
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: doctors know They risk not just their license, but their

179
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: freedom for decades if they overprescribe on purpose or illicitly

180
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: prescribe these drugs. So what is the most likely scenario here,

181
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: Let's put all of us together, that the drug cartels

182
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: that are now multibillion dollars international criminal syndicates are responsible

183
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: for poisoning our cities and causing just unimaginable social destruction.

184
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: And yet we are told that Mexico is not a

185
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: national security concern for us. We're told that the fact

186
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: that there's a country right next door that has organized

187
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: crime more powerful than the central government and can even

188
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: outgun them in a major city is not something that

189
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: we need to be worried about. Those syndicates. By the way,

190
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: those cartels, they have connections, They have tentacles that stretch

191
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: into every major US city and in fact a lot

192
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: of mid size and small US cities too. Sometimes they

193
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: try to keep a low profile here because thank god,

194
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: our law enforcement has not yet been outgunned by cartels,

195
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: and they still have to operate with some degree of

196
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: discretion and fear of law enforcement in America. Not so

197
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: in Mexico. And trust me, the history of that country.

198
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: It's corruption its inability to have durable institutions that will

199
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: root out corruption. That all indicates to me that what's

200
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: going on there right now there are people going all

201
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: the way up the chain of the Mexican government who

202
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: are not who are either not willing to fight against

203
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: the cartels or are on the cartel's payroll. The hotels

204
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: have something on them. The cartels have threatened their family,

205
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: The cartels are in some way exerting leverage on them.

206
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: How is this not one of the biggest stories in

207
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: the country. I ask you that question. How is it

208
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: possible that we have seventy thousand or so Americans dying

209
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: every year, overwhelmingly from poison being poured into our cities

210
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: by our neighbor to the south, by the organized crime

211
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: groups there that are killing Americans on our side and

212
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: killing tens of thousands of Mexicans, people who are just

213
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: caught on the crossfire day in and day out. Why

214
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: can't they get control of this. Why aren't there law

215
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: enforcement and judicial systems strong enough to finally root this out?

216
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: These are questions that we should ask much more than

217
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: we do, and it's also something that I think should

218
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: get a whole lot more attention at not just in

219
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: our media, but also from our own government. We've heard

220
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: a lot about how we need to treat the opioid

221
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: epidemic by putting more facilities in place. That's all well

222
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: and good, but how about stopping the poison from entering

223
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: our cities. People are not growing heroin in their backyard

224
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: in Vermont or in Utah. It's coming in from south

225
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: of our border, and it's being grown in Mexico. There's

226
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: been an enormous shift. Heroin used to be overwhelmingly from Afghanistan.

227
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: It was a big cash crop for the Taliban. UN

228
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: estimates back even a decade ago or that over ninety

229
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: percent of the world's heroin market was grown in essentially

230
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: southern and eastern Afghanistan. Now about ninety percent of the

231
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: heroin and opioids coming into this country that are on

232
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: the street illegally are coming from Mexico and they are

233
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: made in or grown in Mexico. Oh, but the fact

234
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: that we have a porous border, the fact that we

235
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: have millions and millions of illegal aliens in the country who, yes,

236
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: a very small percentage of whom are involved directly in

237
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: the cartel trade. But there's still a percentage of them

238
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: who are, and that percentage, by the way, is responsible

239
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: for thousands and thousands of US deaths. You can read

240
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: Sam Canone as his book Dreamland. He goes into this

241
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: in details. An LA Time Supporter's not a conservative's a liberal.

242
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: The cartels made inroads into US cities at just the

243
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: same time that there was this surge in prescription painkillers,

244
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: and they capitalized on it and murdered countless Americans in

245
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: the process, addicted people and put them in a position

246
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: where the likelihood of an overdose was overwhelming. Mexico's a

247
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: big problem. How much time, I ask you this, have

248
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: you heard the media wailing about the Kurds in the

249
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: last few weeks versus how much time have you heard

250
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: them talking about the gunfight in Kuliya Khan. How much

251
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: do you think they'll spend on this mass assassination, of

252
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: this ambush and slaughter of nine Americans? The numbers probably

253
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: going to grow in Mexico. What's a bigger threat? Who?

254
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: Who has killed more Americans in the last thirty days?

255
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: Cartels in Mexico, which are right on our border and

256
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: can come and go as they please, largely across our border,

257
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: or isis in Syria. Who should we be more concerned

258
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: about A lot of people giving weighty speeches about the

259
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: threat of ertiwan, What about the threat of the Sinaloa cartel,

260
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: which one's more likely to be a problem for you

261
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: in your community wherever you are in the country, by

262
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: the way, from coastal California to Appalachia, north and south

263
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: everything in between. The cartels have tentacles all over the place.

264
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: People in your town, your city are dying because of

265
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: what they do. Where's the media focus on this? Where's

266
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: the CNN, the MSNBC town hall on cartels in the

267
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: opioid epidemic? Oh? You mean that, It's almost like it

268
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: doesn't fit the narrative. None of us are surprised here

269
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: in the Freedom hud are we just an update on

270
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: this ambush as I was taking a moment here to

271
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: look at the numbers. Nine killed, seven injured. Children are

272
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: now in the United States and they were part of

273
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: this this Mormon sect that had left the United States

274
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: decades ago and settled in Mexico because of a schism

275
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: over the practice of polygamy. This group also just as

276
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: a as a side note of the history of it

277
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: involved at one point to George Romney. Mitt Romney's father

278
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: lived in in this part of Mexico as as a

279
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: member of this member of this sect. I believe he

280
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: was born there. So they're also had There's some additional

281
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: numbers here. Last last year I said thirty to thirty

282
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: five thousands, thirty three thousand murders in Mexico last year

283
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. So far, he's going to break that thought.

284
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: We had about thirty five thousand murders in this country

285
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: of Mexico, and the authorities are just hoping that they

286
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: don't have to. I think they just don't want to

287
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: lift the lid off and see what's what's underneath here

288
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: in terms of the cartels. They don't want to deal

289
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: with it. They're just hoping it goes away. But it's

290
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: not going to go away. This is a powder keg.

291
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: This could go at any point. We also now know

292
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: the name of the worst blower. The whistleblower needs to

293
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: come before Congress as a material witness because he worked

294
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden at the same time Hunter Biden was

295
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: getting money from corrupt oligarchs. I say tonight to the media,

296
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: do your job and print his name. Why is the

297
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: whistleblower's name sacrosanct? Who said that that's the case? Who? Who?

298
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: And where? Show me the statute or show me the

299
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: regulation that claims that an internal federal government, federal agency

300
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: whistleblower who decides to blow the whistle on something that's

301
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: not even within the purview of his or her agency

302
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: has a guarantee of anonymity for as long as that

303
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: person wants it. Huh does an anybody want to explain

304
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: that one to me? But the problem here, and we're

305
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: going to keep running in circles around this, is that

306
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: the process is largely whatever the Democrats decide, because they're

307
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: in the majority of the House. Whatever they decide the

308
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: process is, that's what it will be. So they'll make

309
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: it as fair as unfair as they want and claim

310
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: that they have the power for this process to be

311
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: what it is. And Republicans are right to point out

312
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: some of the glaring imbalances and all this, but it's

313
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: not going to change anything. Ultimately, it's going to continue

314
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: to be more or less what it is, which is

315
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: a get Trump, destroy Trump, do what you can see

316
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: just they're really just in a lot of ways shaking

317
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: the tree to see what falls out. I mean, they

318
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: don't even know what the end result of this whole

319
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: impeachment process will be. They just know that it's bad

320
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: for the president, and as we know from dealing with

321
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: the left, anything that is bad for the president must

322
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: be good. That's their approach, that's how they see all

323
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: of this. Rand Paul also went a little further here,

324
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: and this is something and I'm just noting that a

325
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: lot of what you're here now from the administration, from

326
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: officials defending it, is where the buckster was in the beginning,

327
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: which is we already know Hunter Biden is what he

328
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: did is unethical and gross. We already know that this

329
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: was pay to play. It might not have been illegal,

330
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: but the appearance of corruption is clearly there. That's that's

331
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: in the facts, which also means that the basis for

332
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: an investigation is there, Which means that the president of

333
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: the United States asking a foreign counterpart to look into

334
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: something is completely within his purview. Is it bare knuckle politics? Yeah?

335
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 1: Is Trump allowed to do that in response to what

336
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: they're doing to him? Yes, in my opinion, sure, people

337
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: disagree with me. You know what they can do vote

338
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: against him. That's what this is. All a political question.

339
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to morphit into some legalistic process. But

340
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: it's not a legal process. It's not legal. It's not

341
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: a criminal justice proceeding. But people got all into this

342
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: quid pro quote and all the stuff. I'm like, look,

343
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: I don't even see what's wrong with it. You can

344
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: go back, go to tape, listen to earlier week we

345
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: got him the episodes on iTunes on the iHeart Up,

346
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: which you can subscribe to. But go back, listen to

347
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: what I was saying when the first thing, when this broke.

348
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: You'll see, yes, look, I don't understand what the big

349
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: problem is here. And some conservatives that I really like,

350
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: we're very worried about it at first, but I know

351
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: this game before I know how, I know how the

352
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Russia collusion hoax was run. They get all frenzied, they

353
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: get all fired up about how this is the worst

354
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: thing that anyone's ever done. It's worse than Nixon. And

355
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: then when you look at it and you deal with

356
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: the facts, you say, but hold on a second, why

357
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: exactly is this worse than Nixon? Why is this worse

358
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: than Watergate? It's always important to take a breath when

359
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: liberals tell you that the republic is about to sink

360
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: and we're all doomed. That's when it's worthwhile the step

361
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: outside gets some fresh air and think, do I trust

362
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: these people? The answer is no. So since I don't

363
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: trust them, should to listen to them about this? The

364
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: answer is also no. Rant Paul understands that the Hunter

365
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: Biden thing. Democrats are sensitive about it because it looks gross.

366
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: There's no question about a play club five. If you

367
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: would hunter Biden made fifty thousand dollars a month. That's

368
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: the definition of corruption. We know he got it only

369
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: because of his family connections. And I say to my colleagues,

370
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: if shifty Shift will not let Hunter Biden come, and

371
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: if you will not bring the whistleblower for every Republican

372
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: in Congress should take a walk and say this is

373
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: a farce. I think that at some point Republican nullification

374
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: of the process, or at least refusal to behave or

375
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: to behave maybe to be a part of the process.

376
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: That's what this is heading to. I do think at

377
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: some point Republicans should probably just say we're not gonna

378
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do this, We're not gonna show up

379
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: what are they gonna They're gonna send a sergeant in

380
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: arms to arrest all the Republicans for not wanting to

381
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: sit through Adam shifts bizarre inquisition Hunter Biden, which we

382
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: all have to goes back to the Democrat debate where

383
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper's like whatever his question was, it's basically, you know, hey,

384
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you about Ukraine, Joe Biden, but

385
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm also going to make sure that there's no evidence

386
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: against you and there's no evidence you didn't anything wrong,

387
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: And now I'm gonna ask my question. Well, I mean

388
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: that all depends on what the meaning of wrong is,

389
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: because to me, it is quite clearly wrong for someone

390
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: to get fifty thousand dollars a month when their fathers

391
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: on board. Because remember, even if see this is if

392
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: you really think this through, you understand why the Democrats

393
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: are so sensitive about this. Let's say for a second

394
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 1: that what Hunter and Joe Biden have told us all

395
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: along is true, which is a leap I will have

396
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: you know that I'm not willing to make. But but

397
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: let's just say that they made this or they did

398
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: not discuss anything Ukraine related, and that Hunter never even

399
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: promised the Ukrainians who were sending him these big checks

400
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: every month that he was going to be their guy

401
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: with the administration, with the Obama administration. And let's assume

402
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden's telling the truth. And remember, I'm not

403
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe it this is true, but I just

404
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: even if we go to that level where we say

405
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: everything had told us so far as true, the Ukrainian

406
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: company Bisma was paying Hunter Biden to be on the

407
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: board as an insurance policy. Right's something that we know

408
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: the left, the Democrats know about. Remember the discussion about

409
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 1: the insurance policy in Andy McCabe's office, off what if

410
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: Trump gets elected. Yeah, they try to pretend that we're

411
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: not going to remember that, but we do remember. So

412
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: the insurance policy is an issue here. The way that

413
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: you can see this is that if Hunter Biden's on

414
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: the board of Barisma, wouldn't that even without anyone being

415
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: told anything in Ukraine, which is very dependent on US

416
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: eight at this point in time, the Obama aministration is

417
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: heavily engaged in Ukraine as a foreign policy issue, wouldn't

418
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, just without being told Let's not get too

419
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: crazy with this Bearismo investigation. And if you were the

420
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: person making the decisions or the group making decisions about

421
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: who's on the Barizma board. You would know that too,

422
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter. Right, Why why is it a

423
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: problem for somebody in you know? Why is nepotism an

424
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: issue in general? You know? Why is it a problem

425
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: in government for a father? You know, if if Trump

426
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: were too And you guys know that I disagree with

427
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: the nepotism that this administration engages in. I just I do.

428
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: I think it's wrong. And people can tell me all

429
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: day that the best people are the people he trusts

430
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: and they're around him. But let's be honest about this.

431
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: First second, folks, look at a lot of the decisions

432
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: Trump has made about who to put around him, you know,

433
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: like the mooch, we're gonna this isn't This is an

434
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: area where you know, if you're not willing to criticize

435
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: the president, I gotta say, I think it's starting to

436
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: come pretty close to where are you willing to criticize

437
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: this president? And I'm a big supporter, as you know,

438
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a different thing supporting somebody and saying

439
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: everything I do is brilliant is not this? That's not

440
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: those are not equivalent. But why is nepotism an issue

441
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: in the first place. Well, because if I'm the president

442
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: of the United States, let's make it President Buck, which

443
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: would be amazing, by the way, but it's not gonna happen.

444
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: I like getting sleep and relaxing and going for walks

445
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: anonymously in New York. Let's say that there was President

446
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: Buck and I had a son who was great, and

447
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: I want to make my son's secretary of State. How

448
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: could anybody have confidence that I wasn't picking my son

449
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: Because whether I ever tell anybody or not where, whether

450
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: I ever write it down or make it a quid

451
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: pro quo or make it official or not, the fact

452
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: of the matter is that I have a personal relationship

453
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: to that person, and that will affect my decision making.

454
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: The same is true about Drew Biden on the board

455
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: of Barisma. When his dad is running policy in that country.

456
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: There doesn't have to be a discussion about it. The

457
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: point is that it makes it look like nobody could

458
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: touch Burisma because Hunter Biden's there, so there, so the

459
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: people are saying, oh, but there's no there's no smoking gun,

460
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: we have no it doesn't matter. We've already established that

461
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: this was gross. We've already established that this is wrong.

462
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: You never should have done it. Of course, it's why

463
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: did Joe Biden say to him, I hope you know

464
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: what you're doing. I mean, Joe Biden's kind of a moron,

465
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: but he's smart enough to figure out that having his

466
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: song on the board of a company when he's running

467
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: Obama administration policy in that country is a problem. Doesn't

468
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: look good. Media has no interest in this whatsoever, and

469
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: they're certain by the way that there's no further investigation needed.

470
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had the Mullard probe, We've had every

471
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: media organization in the country that's anti Trump, which is

472
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: ninety percent of them digging into Russia collusion as though

473
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: their lives depended on it. Same thing, over and over,

474
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: same witnesses, the same storyline, everything. But in the case

475
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: of Breeze. But with Hunter Biden, we know everything. We

476
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: need to know. Nothing to see here, Move on or

477
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: else you're a conspiracy theorist. Sorry, not going to play

478
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: the game the way they want me to, because I

479
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: know what the other side's really all about. I know

480
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: what matters to them. Let's also, though, talk about this.

481
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: Javanovich testimony. The good news here, folks, is I read

482
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: the Javanov testimony. It's already been I don't know if

483
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: they've I think they leaked it or maybe it's out officially.

484
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: I can't keep up with all the shenanigans going home

485
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: with this committee. But I read the Yevanovich testimony, and

486
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: let me tell you it is. It is not exactly

487
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: riveting stuff. All these State Department people have the same

488
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, I've just been doing all the best I

489
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: can for US foreign policy, and I'm a selfless public

490
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: servant and i have no politics, and right, we get it, Okay, fine,

491
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: some of them are some of them aren't. You know,

492
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: it's like any large organization. There are go to the

493
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: university of some big school, and you know they'll be

494
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: brilliant people, though they'll be idiots there. That's like the

495
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: State Department. That's like the CIA, that's like the FBI.

496
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: You know, you got a mix. But Yevanovich's testimony. There

497
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: are a few things that are worth noting from this,

498
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: which I'll tell you, but just just in case you

499
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: happen to flip on the TV and you see Shifty

500
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: Shift trying to lie to you about it. I want

501
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: to I want to give you some of what really

502
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: happens or what really is clear from the testimony, and

503
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: more importantly, I mean on the process. We have a

504
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: problem here though, because the Democrats can set and are

505
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: setting the process. It's deeply unfair, but they're allowed to

506
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 1: make it deeply unfair. You know what the check is

507
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: on the unfair process. The Democrats in this House impeachment

508
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: inquiry are doing you, the voter. That's why this is

509
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: political ambassadory. Ivanovitch had a well earned reputation as a

510
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: fighter of corruption, and she was working with Ukraine to

511
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: get Ukraine to fight corruption. And so what does this

512
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: irregular back channel, sanctioned by the president do. It seeks

513
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: to remove someone fighting corruption in Ukraine by employing a

514
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: vicious smear campaign in which the state department at the

515
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: highest levels that acknowledged had no merit whatsoever. That smear campaign,

516
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: orchestrated by this irregular channel was successful in removing a

517
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 1: US ambassador and taring her reputation. Of course, see the

518
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: President's comments about the ambassador in the call record. All right,

519
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: some notes of caution here. What does he see Ivanovitch?

520
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: I think he's Conna. I can never get these names right.

521
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: I was saying Yavanovitch, Ivanovitch, tomato, tomato. You know, I'm

522
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: trying to get it right. So of course it's tomato,

523
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: by the way, not tomato. What are we on, like

524
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 1: faulty towers? Ridiculous? Do you even know? You don't even

525
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: know what faulty towers is? Do you producing? This is

526
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: just like? Nah? I just old I just old manned

527
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: myself here, didn't I You have no idea? Next Thingain,

528
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: I'll be talking you about Mash. I at least know

529
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: what Mash was. Well, that's good. I have a clue.

530
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: But the other thing, no clue, no clue. Yeah, So

531
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: a few things about this one my notes of caution here.

532
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: Do I think that it's possible that perhaps the presidence

533
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: personal layer Rue Giuliani might have been a bit over zealous,

534
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: and you know, I know the mayor. I like the mayor,

535
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: so I would have a very hard time without heart

536
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: evidence just be ever speaking ill of them. What does

537
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: it possible theoretically that maybe he had some bad information

538
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: on this ambassador and there was a smear campaign against

539
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: her that was not meant to be a smear campaign,

540
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: but they really thought she was working against Trump administration

541
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: wishes in some way, I could say, I don't know, right,

542
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: we're working with very imperfect information here. But but a

543
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: few things that I would note the State Department. Careers

544
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: to the State Department are politically in line with the

545
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: Oberlin Women's and Gender Studies Faculty Lounge. Okay, they are

546
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: politically in line with the far left of America. Three

547
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: I'd say, I'd say two out of three or three

548
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: out of four, right, so you're looking at a healthy majority.

549
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: Aren't even just democrat their leftists, they're internationalists. I've spent

550
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: a lot of time and a lot of people dated

551
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: somebody a long time ago from the State Department. I

552
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: know the State Department, Okay, not not super well. I

553
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: didn't work there, but I know enough about it, having

554
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: interacted with it and being around that enough to know

555
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: that there's a and there were back in the day

556
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: a lot of actual When I say commies, I mean communists.

557
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: There were Communist penetrations of the State Department at a

558
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: very high level. And to this day people pretend that

559
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: that did not happen. Don't even get me started on

560
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: an Alger Hiss and the pumpkin papers and everything else

561
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: that's real. Though, read Witness Whittaker Chambers fantastic, fantastic book.

562
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: Really one of the people that got National Review up

563
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: and running, along with William F. Buckley. You should read

564
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: Whitaker Chambers Witness. The left still pretends that there weren't

565
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: commy infiltrations of this country, and specifically of the highest

566
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: levels of the United States government, because the Left always

567
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: has a little bit of a soft spot for commies.

568
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: Now that's but I'm just giving you the numbers. I

569
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: don't know if she is an anti Trumper or not.

570
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: I would just note that it's very possible that she

571
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: was so based on what you usually see for people

572
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: that work for the State Department. That's one aspect of this. Also,

573
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: that Adam Schiff is telling you nothing but the most

574
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: the most praising or praise worthy sweeping statements of how

575
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: wonderful is That just puts me a little bit on edge.

576
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: And the Obama administration has great fighters of corruption in Ukraine.

577
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: Play clip nine if you would please. Ambassador Ivanovitch had

578
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: a well earned reputation as a fighter of corruption, and

579
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: she was working with Ukraine to get Ukraine to fight corruption.

580
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: And so what does this irregular back channel sanctioned by

581
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: the president do. It seeks to remove someone fighting corruption

582
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: in Ukraine? Right, But he is he saying that she

583
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: was being removed because she was fighting corruption Ukraine or

584
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: she being removed because it was believed that she was

585
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: opposed to President Trump or did not like President Trump

586
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: at some level. I mean, is now the storyline that

587
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: President Trump wants Ukraine corruption? That's new, that would be

588
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: a new addition into this whole thing. Keep in mind

589
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: that the Democrats do not allow House Minority Republicans or

590
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: the House Republicans or in the minority to pull their

591
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,479
Speaker 1: own witnesses. They're not allowed to ask questions, so they're

592
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: just there to watch the show, so to speak. So

593
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: that then the Democrats can do whatever they want in

594
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: the show and pretend that this is bipartisan, but it

595
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: is clearly not bipartisan. Democrats also have threatened, I believe,

596
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: to withhold pay of State Department officials who show up

597
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: and want there to be a State Department lawyer present

598
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: with them during this testimony. Why would the State Department

599
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: have a lawyer present with them? Well, to protect executive

600
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: branch equities in all of this to make sure that

601
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: the executive branch, which is a coequal branch with the Congress,

602
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: is not having its prerogatives run roughshod over. I don't

603
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: know if that's really the way you'd say that, but

604
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But no, you're not allowed

605
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: to or else they'll hold your pay. I think I

606
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: read that today, which seemed just absolutely outrageous. I think

607
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: that the whistleblower gave a lot of false information, and

608
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: you have to see who the whistleblower is. Once I

609
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: released the transcript, which was almost immediately, the whistleblower's report

610
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: was very wrong because, as you know, the whistleblower covered

611
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 1: mostly my transcript, myall Michael with the President of Ukraine.

612
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: So once I released that call, I released a very

613
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: detailed version of that call. All of a sudden, the

614
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: whistleblowers report was incorrect, and the whistleblower seems to have disappeared.

615
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: And I also wonder what happened to the second whistle

616
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: blower and what happened to the informant. The President has

617
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: targeted some of the folks who have testified, including Lieutenant

618
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: Colonel Vinman. He has called for unmasking the name or

619
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: revealing the identity of the whistle blower, which is protected

620
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: by the law. How much do you take this seriously

621
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: and how much do you think it's actually a sort

622
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: of concrete threat to these proceedings. So we know that

623
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: the whistle blower's identity is no longer relevant because everything

624
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: he said has now been corroborated by other witnesses, and

625
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: the White House's release they're called transcript the summarized version

626
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: of it. We don't need to have a whistable over

627
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: tell us what was on that phone call, because American

628
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: people already know. In addition, the Trump's President Trump's attacks

629
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: on Colonel Vinman or a very unfortunate ten Colonel Vinman

630
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: served in Iraq, he shut his blood, he had got

631
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: a prople heart. He is an American hero, and he

632
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: told his story to Congress. He should not be attacked.

633
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of very important things going on

634
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: here from the Democrat side with this whole impeachment effort.

635
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: I want to just walk it through a little bit

636
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, I can never remember the Ambassadory Ivanovitch,

637
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: I think is why I'm supposed to say it, right,

638
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: Ambassador Yvanovitch, there was there were no bombshells. She gave

639
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: the usual I'm a sort of State Department, long time bureaucrat.

640
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: Here's what I think, blah blah. They shouldn't have fired me,

641
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: and maybe they shouldn't know. I can't you know, the

642
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: administration if if they have any evidence or real proof

643
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 1: that she was working against Trump, we should We should

644
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: see that at some point. We have not seen that yet.

645
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: But I would note that this desire to protect the

646
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: whistleblower's identity at all costs. Hold on a second, why

647
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: can't the whistle blower testify behind closed doors because Republicans

648
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: and Congress can't be trusted with the identity. Now, keep

649
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: in mind there's already reports circling all over the place

650
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 1: about the name of somebody who is a reportedly a

651
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: CIA analyst who was detailed to the NSC. Who is

652
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 1: the person behind this? I can neither confirm nor deny.

653
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't know the name is swirling around. But until

654
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: we have confirmation of this from the government, we don't

655
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: really know what we're dealing with. But let's understand also

656
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: what the president here would be A person working for

657
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: the federal government going forward, any person working for the

658
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: federal government could, upon learning of any meeting that the

659
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: president has, including a highly classified discussion that the president has,

660
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: file a complaint through allies in Congress, and then use

661
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: that complaint as the basis for a make it up

662
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: as you go along impeachment inquiry. That's an entirely political exercise,

663
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: and that is meant to defame the president while in

664
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: office and also perhaps even set the stage for not

665
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: just a Senate trial, but removal from office of the

666
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: President of the United States, thwarting the will of the

667
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: American people as evidence in the twenty sixteen election, and

668
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: showing us that the deep state really runs things. That's

669
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: the precedent that would be set here. Think about this,

670
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: Why did we have all these hearings about Benghazi, for example,

671
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: with the Obama administration when what they really should have done,

672
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: apparently is have one person from within the There are

673
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: plenty of them, by the way. I've spoken to people

674
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: who were involved in Benghazi who would have loved the

675
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to talk about the terrible malfeasance by the Hillary

676
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: Clinton State Department, the lack of action by the White

677
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: House under President Obama during the hours the thirteen hours

678
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: I believe it was of that assault and gun battle.

679
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: But instead of just having hearings, we could find out

680
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: what happened, and hearings of the the American people were allowed

681
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: to see. I suppose they should have just had one

682
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: person who really didn't like President Obama go meet with

683
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: Republicans in the Congress and say that Obama was guilty

684
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: of dereliction of duty. Oh, but that person's a whistleblower. See,

685
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: so nobody can know who it is, what their politics are,

686
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: what their motivations may be. Keep that identity secret. Then

687
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: convene a congressional majority, a congressional group like the House

688
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: permanenc left Committee on Intelligence that just goes and subpoenas

689
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: every Obama administration official they want to, threatens to hold

690
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: people in contempt. Doesn't allow Democrats. I mean, that's that's

691
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: what could have happened. I suppose if Republicans were willing

692
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: to just go scorched earth and just just play really dirty.

693
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the Democrats are playing here, that's what this is.

694
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: You'll notice that now they're saying, well, we know it's

695
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: in the transcripts, so we don't need to hear from

696
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: the whistleblower more. Well, then why did we hear from

697
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: a whistle blower in the first place. Whistle blower wasn't

698
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: even there when the call was had, and there was

699
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: supposed to be a second witness, where's that second witness?

700
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: And what is that witness really going to tell us?

701
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: These are all the questions we were not supposed We're

702
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: not supposed to get answers to anymore. We're supposed to

703
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: just believe Ted lou and Adam Schiff and various other

704
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: Democrat hyperpartisans who represent incredibly blue districts, and all they

705
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: have to do to get reelected, and they know it

706
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: is constantly prove their Trump hatred. That's all they have

707
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: to do. That's all that has to happen. So that

708
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: makes it a pretty straightforward proposition for them. I've been

709
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: telling you this, I'm seeing others have been catching on,

710
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: and I would be writing some articles about this, but

711
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm writing the book. The book's coming along. I'm in

712
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: a chapter right now about college for all. I'm going

713
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: to be writing about modern monetary theory soon, and I'm

714
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: just the buckster is is a little overworked and under

715
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: slept lately. So I'm trying. I'm trying, but this show

716
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: is obviously priority number one, So this show will always

717
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: be awesome. But I can't write as much for the

718
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: Hill in other places as I have been in the past,

719
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: because I got to write the book that all said

720
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: my defense of the basic right just a right of fairness,

721
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: never mind just a right of law to confront your accusers.

722
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: Where is the willingness to stand up for this. There's

723
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: a reason why that's not something that's just kind of

724
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: thrown in there at the very you know, at the

725
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: very end. Now this goes back to English common law.

726
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: If someone is going to accuse you of a serious crime,

727
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: you should have the right or your lawyers, your defense team,

728
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: the people that are representing your side of the story

729
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: should have the right to question that individual story and yes,

730
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: character and trustworthiness and all the rest of it. That's

731
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: an essential component of justice. Otherwise people have first of all,

732
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 1: as much less likely that we'll get to the truth

733
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: of an accusation. And also think about the incentive then

734
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: to just lob bombs at somebody from safe quarters and

735
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: know that you're never going to receive incoming yourself. You're

736
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: just going to be able to say whatever you want

737
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: about a person and you can lie about it as

738
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: you see fit. That's a problem, folks. That's a problem,

739
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: and that's what they're doing right now to President Trump.

740
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: It's disgusting. And yet the media seems to have no

741
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: problem with this whatsoever. The process is whatever the Democrats

742
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: say it is, unfortunately, but that doesn't mean that we

743
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: have to say the process is okay. It also goes

744
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: to show you that there's nothing fair minded about any

745
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: of this. Right, if the Democrats were serious, if they

746
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: had a real case, wouldn't they make more of a

747
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: show of Sure Republicans can cross examine, Sure Republicans are

748
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: going to get an equal say in how these hearings

749
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: are conducted, They're going to be able to ask questions

750
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: of witnesses to all these things. No, they're not going

751
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: to do any of that. They have to cheat, They

752
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: have to stack the deck in their favor because they

753
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: don't have a strong case and they know it. And

754
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: they also have to protect the identity of the whistleblower

755
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: because if we found out who this person was, for sure,

756
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: I think we already kind of know, And if it's

757
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: the person that's being reported as the whistle blower, then yeah,

758
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: it's a Democrat hack part is in working inside the

759
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: intelligence community, who saw an opportunity here to work with

760
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: his buddies and defend Joe Biden in the process, to

761
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: work with Adam shift in the Democrats and try to

762
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: take down a president that he obviously hates in a

763
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: way that only the same shrill lunatics who basically cry

764
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: even though they're adults when a baseball player puts on

765
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: a maga hat, that same mentality, those same individuals, Yeah,

766
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: they do work for the federal government. Sometimes, the kind

767
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: of people who would boo the Commander in chief the

768
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: same day or than twenty four hours of arrayed the

769
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: commander in chief order to take out Abubakhara bug Daddy

770
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 1: to boo him. Those same lunatics work for the federal government.

771
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: A lot of them, not a few of them. Mostly

772
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 1: the federal government is full of trump paters, because people

773
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: who go to work for the federal leviathan who want

774
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: jobs where the minimum is all that is ever expected

775
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 1: or required of you, and where you cannot be fired,

776
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: and where all you do and I know this because

777
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: I was one is complained about how underpaid you are,

778
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: when in fact you're overpaid. That's going to be a

779
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: place where you find a lot of Democrats, a lot

780
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: of leftists, and so it's unsurprising that some of them

781
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: come forward and try to take out the President of

782
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: the United States politically in this way, which reminds me

783
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: also of the anonymous book. This is going to be interesting.

784
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: You remember the anonymous op ed writer who claimed that

785
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: the steady state was doing everything possible to try and

786
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: stop the president from getting his way. Ah, we must

787
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: stop President Trump from being able to do what he

788
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: wants to do as president because he's so crazy, and

789
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: so we pull papers away from him. The steady state, well,

790
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: really deep state, anonymous op ed author said, we frustrate

791
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: his will for the benefit of the American people, and

792
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: then they make fun of us when we say so,

793
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 1: there is a deep state, right. We understand this because

794
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: that's what this person is describing. What this person is

795
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: laying out for us is the deep state. That's what

796
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: it is. But they don't like to think of it

797
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: that but they don't like to hear about it in

798
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 1: those terms. Isn't that interesting? So this person is coming

799
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: out with a book. I believe it hits mid November,

800
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: and the book will be I'm sure, one large collection

801
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 1: of look at how crazy and stupid Trump is behind

802
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: closed doors ps vote Democrat the end, that's what the

803
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: book will be. How can we judge the authenticity of

804
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: the author? How can we judge their motivations, their truthfulness

805
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: when we don't know who the person is. Democrats are

806
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: normalizing cowardice in a way that's fascinating to watch. Oh,

807
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 1: we can have a whistleblower, but the whistleblower can't come forward. Really,

808
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: we have men and women in uniform across the country

809
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: and around the world risking their lives every day out

810
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: of love for this country. You're gonna tell me this

811
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: whistle blower, such a patriot, can't take the heat, the

812
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: heat of being on the speaker's tour, getting paid one

813
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: d one hundred thousand dollars to speak look at Combe.

814
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's he's suffered a terrible amount for his

815
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: opposition to the president. If by suffering you mean getting

816
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: a book deal, being on TV all the time, getting

817
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: paid to give speeches all over the country about how

818
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: awful Trump is. There's no bravery here. This whistleblower is

819
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: not brave, and there's no bravery in writing this. Anonymous book,

820
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: which we're told the person's going to give some degree

821
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: of the money, I think to charity or something. But

822
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: that's until they decided to come forward, and then they

823
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: start collecting the big paychecks for giving the anti Trump

824
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: speeches as the author of anonymous all across the country.

825
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: This is appalling. Why can't this person come forward? I

826
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: think it's because we would recognize that one, he or

827
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: she is not nearly I believe it's he, he is

828
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: not nearly as senior as he would want us to believe.

829
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: And two probably find out that this person has a

830
00:46:55,480 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: background just like the whistleblower. Reportedly of Democrats support an

831
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: anti trumpism. So this would be like, you know, I

832
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: could go back to work for the federal government and

833
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: the next time we have a Heaven forbid, but we

834
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: might have a Biden or a Warrant or a Buddha

835
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: judge administration. All of a sudden, I'm a whistleblower. And

836
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 1: people say, wait a second. This guy has been a Republican,

837
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: he's been a right winger his whole life. Maybe his

838
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: opinion on this isn't just so objective. Well, of course,

839
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: of course it's not objective. It's the opinion of somebody

840
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: that is opposed to the administration. That's exactly what we

841
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: have here. The issue with the anonymous book right now,

842
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: the issue with the anonymous book is that they are

843
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: going to look into The Justice Department is looking into

844
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: whether or not there was a binding nondisclosure agreement signed here,

845
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: especially if the person had access to classified information. You're

846
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: going to see a lot of people that I think

847
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: are gonna have trouble here. If this person was senior

848
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 1: and had access to classified information, which is you would

849
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: have to be if you're a senior enough in this

850
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: White House, there is a review process for writing a

851
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: book of the stature about your work. It does not

852
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: matter if you think you are a patriot. It does

853
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: not matter if you think that you are saving the

854
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: democracy or the republic or whatever they're calling it today.

855
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: You have a legal obligation to submit that for review.

856
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: And I am pretty sure, although I can't speak to

857
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: it quite yet, we'll have to find out what the

858
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: final facts are. I'm quite sure that this person did

859
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: not submit this for review and so therefore would be

860
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: in violation of their secrecy agreement. Now, violation of the

861
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:39,479
Speaker 1: secrecy agreement itself without spilling classified information is punishable only

862
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: by seizure of the profits of the book, and so

863
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: the profits of the book that are going to go

864
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: to charity, I'm not sure the White House would care

865
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: to seize those, assuming that it's really just going to charity.

866
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: But then there's the issue of, well, if you're going

867
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: to have a court proceeding here, guess what you have

868
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: to find out who in fact is the author of

869
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 1: this book, Hatchet or Hashette Hachett. However you say Hatchet,

870
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the publishers. A Chet is

871
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: saying that they have no legal obligation to the federal governments,

872
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 1: so they're not going to yet, but they have legal

873
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: obligation to a federal judge, who may say, guess what,

874
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: we have to know who this author is because we

875
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: have to know if they signed a classified NDA. This

876
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: is the process we have, This is the way the

877
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,919
Speaker 1: law works. Get ready for it now, because at this fight,

878
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,439
Speaker 1: if the White House pursues this fight, you will see

879
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: people who are alleged legal experts going on TV pretending

880
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: that this is not very straightforward, when it is. The

881
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: federal government has a legitimate interest in preventing the disclosure

882
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 1: of classified and sensitive information. If you go work for

883
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: the federal government, you sign something a contract that is

884
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: legally binding that says that for books about your work

885
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: in the government, you will submit them for prepublication review.

886
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: If you are unwilling to do that, you are in

887
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: breach of contract to the federal government. How can we

888
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: know if this person is in breach of contract to

889
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: the federal government or not if we don't know who

890
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: the person is? Oh, there we go. That's when a

891
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,959
Speaker 1: federal judge gets to say who is this person? Federal

892
00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: judges deal with classified all the time. They can deal

893
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: this inclosed proceedings. But we get to know, or rather

894
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: the federal government gets to know. Just remember that now,

895
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: because I think you're going to see, Oh but the

896
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,439
Speaker 1: first amendment in the you know, whatever is Trump is bad.

897
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: And then you're gonna hear people legal experts go on

898
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: TV make jackasses of themselves because anything for hashtag resistance.

899
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: We should probably some of these predictions, we should mark

900
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: them down because I just am always right, and I

901
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 1: mean it's fun to always be right. I mean sometimes

902
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: producer Mark is like, you're occasionally wrong. I don't have

903
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: to tell him see this is where you're wrong, producer, Mark.

904
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,439
Speaker 1: But I'm basically always right, and this is one where

905
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: assuming they pursue this, you will see people making arguments

906
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: that are completely ridiculous on TV about how that there's

907
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: no legal basis to find out who the author of

908
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: this book is. There absolutely is a federal government basis

909
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: to find out who the author of this book is.

910
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: And they're going to try to hide this from us too.

911
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: Why the person is not as senior as they pretend

912
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: to be in the op ed doesn't have the access

913
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,720
Speaker 1: that they're letting people believe that he or she believed.

914
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: We'll see he does, and probably has a history of

915
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: being kind of a if not a wishywashy Republican, a

916
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: straight up stealth Democrat. We'll see. But one of the

917
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: reasons we wanted mister Eisenberg to come in is to

918
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 1: find out what his role was, what the role of

919
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: others was, and why a transcript that plainly did not

920
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: belong in a classified system that is meant for some

921
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 1: of the most secret of intelligence activities, that is, covert

922
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: action activities. Why would a call record that the president

923
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: would have the country believe was perfect, Why would it

924
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: be hidden in this classified system. So clearly the White

925
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: House does not want him to testify. They do not

926
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 1: want the American people to know why mister Eisenberger others

927
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: made that decision. And I think we can infer that

928
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: the reason they don't want the public to hear from

929
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: mister Eisenberg is that it would tend to corroborate allegations

930
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: against the president anything. Where Adam Shift says you should

931
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: infer you probably want to do the opposite, because he's

932
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: lying to you. Think about the way that this is

933
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: being constructed. Why would the transcript of the Zelenski Trump

934
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: phone call be removed to a classified server? Why would

935
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 1: that happen? First of all, any conversation between the president

936
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: and another head of state is going to be considered

937
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: sensitive and classified. Okay, that's so start with that. But

938
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: why would it be removed specifically to a server would

939
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: be even more secure. Oh you mean, why would they

940
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: try to prevent the leak of a conversation between the

941
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: president and a counterpart that was basically leaked that they

942
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: that as soon as possible, there was this effort to

943
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,439
Speaker 1: try to get it out into public view. Oh gee,

944
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe because they understood that the second

945
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: there was an opening for people who hated the president

946
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: try to take this and turn it into something that

947
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't. They would do it, But shifty shift never

948
00:52:55,120 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: stops being shifty. Let's talk about how journalism, big journos,

949
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: how do they really do what they do? How does

950
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: this business work, this business of informing the public but

951
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: also shaping perception of fitting propaganda in certain ways so

952
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: that it is more easily disseminated, making sure that narratives

953
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,760
Speaker 1: take hold in the public mind that are in line

954
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 1: with what the activist intentions of most journalisms actually are. Right,

955
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: That's all the part of how do they do it?

956
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: And how do we have evidence or do we have

957
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 1: evidence of them doing it? Project Veritas strikes again, And

958
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you this is a pretty interesting one.

959
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: You may have seen the memes out there now, there's

960
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Some of them are pretty pretty

961
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: funny about how it has become a cultural phenomenon right

962
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: now to just blurt out or write in an unexpected

963
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: place that Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself. This is a

964
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: this is a meme. Now, this is a thing that's happening.

965
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: You'll see this in different places, and people will try

966
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: to find more and more creative ways to put this

967
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: out there. Here. I'll actually give a shout out to

968
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: Michael Knowles over at the Daily Wire. He had one

969
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: today that was that was particularly funny. It was on

970
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: this day six hundred and eight years ago Khalil Sultan,

971
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: the Timorhood ruler of Transaxania, died at the age of

972
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Shortly thereafter, his wife committed suicide, which distinguishes

973
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,479
Speaker 1: her from Jeffrey Epstein, who did not kill himself. That's

974
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: the that's the kind of stuff that you are are seeing,

975
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: uh these days. That's the that's the the memes, the

976
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: meme creation. Because there are a lot of people who

977
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: are are looking at the Epstein case and are saying, well,

978
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: hold on a minute, here, hold on a second. Why

979
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: is it that doctor Boden, who was paid by Epstein's

980
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: brother to look into this, But I don't believe that

981
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: he would light his credibility on fire for no reason.

982
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: Who's involved in some of the highest level autopsies of

983
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: any in terms of the cases that he's dealt with

984
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: of anyone. Why would he say it is highly highly,

985
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: highly unlikely that he's never seen. And I think it

986
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: was forty years of medical examination, an autopsy, the circumstances

987
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: that Epstein died under, and that being a suicide. So

988
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe that the highest Let's just add

989
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: up the coincidences. Here, the highest profile prisoner at the

990
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: time in the United States Bureau of Prisons custody was

991
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:47,240
Speaker 1: able to commit suicide weeks after an alleged other suicide attempt.

992
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,280
Speaker 1: He was able to commit suicide with two guards falling

993
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: asleep while he was committing suicide, two guards with cameras

994
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: malfunctioning near the cells, and the medical report shows breakages

995
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,959
Speaker 1: of around his throat that are more consistent with being

996
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: strangled than killing one's self. There's a lot of Oh,

997
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: and he was the first prisoner, I believe, in the

998
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,479
Speaker 1: history of the Manhattan Correctional Facility to commit suicide when

999
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 1: held in similar circumstances in a cell that was specifically

1000
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: designed to prevent suicide. And oh, by the way, doctor

1001
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 1: Boden hasn't seen this in forty years of examining dead

1002
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: bodies and homicide situations. That's I mean, look, that's all possible.

1003
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: Crazy stuff happens. It's a lot though, right, Am I

1004
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: missing something? That's a lot of lots, a lot of coincidences.

1005
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: It's a lot of coincidences. But let's put that aside

1006
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: for a moment. So I don't plan on just sitting

1007
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: here on the show and yelling Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill

1008
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: himself at random, although I know people will be doing

1009
00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: that on their shows, because I'm not sure. I think

1010
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: that it's still very much an open question what happened

1011
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: to Epstein. But here's what I don't think is an

1012
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: open question. And this brings me back to or rather,

1013
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: here's what I am certain of, and this brings me

1014
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: back to Project faretas there's a lot about Epstein that

1015
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: is being suppressed, still actively suppressed by people who were

1016
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: around around Epstein, knew what was going on, and there

1017
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: was a conspiracy of silence that ran all the way

1018
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: through the media because of the people that Epstein was

1019
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: involved with, and that there was pressure brought to bear

1020
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: to shut these stories down, no question about that, And

1021
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: that there are people right now who pretend to be brave,

1022
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: who pretend to be the journals out there who are

1023
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: doing the hard work of speaking truth to power. I

1024
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: do not know many journals at all who speak truth

1025
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: to power. I know a lot of journals who do

1026
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: powers bidding, who do what they think their audience wants

1027
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: to see and what their paymasters in the executive suite

1028
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: want to see, and what their peer group in the

1029
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,919
Speaker 1: elite echelon of opinion and tastemakers in American media want

1030
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: to see. That's what they report on, and if it

1031
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 1: fits into those categories, that's what they'll do. But if

1032
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: it's going to rock the boat too much, particularly, they'll

1033
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: sell out their audience. Usually journalis long before they'll sell

1034
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: out the executives who signed their paychecks or the people

1035
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 1: that they socialize with after hours. We've seen this with

1036
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein, with Matt Lauer, with numerous high level cases

1037
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: of people who were serial abusers of women at organizations

1038
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: that give a lot of lip service to being all

1039
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: about women's empowerment and feminists, and it turned out that no,

1040
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: they were much more concerned with powerful people, their relationships

1041
00:58:54,920 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: and the bottom line, their financial interests. That it brings

1042
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: me this project very toss video about Jeffrey Epstein's case

1043
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: and what Amy Roeboch, who is an ABC News anchor,

1044
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean I never. I'm always amazed that there are

1045
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: there are still millions of people who watch ABC, many

1046
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: more than watch cable news. By the way, ABC News

1047
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: has a much bigger audience for its one new show

1048
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: than any cable news show does. I just can't imagine

1049
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: watching this water down, worthless news broadcast that it's not

1050
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: really opinion, it's not really news. It's just kind of like,

1051
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. To me, it's it's like CBSCA News

1052
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: with Dan rather, these are these are old models that

1053
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm amazed they still have any audience at all. But

1054
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: put that aside for a moment here, So I never.

1055
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: I don't even know who Amy Roebock was, but I'm

1056
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: sure she's got millions of people that watch her, even

1057
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: though I work in news and I don't even know

1058
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: who she is. But there's an important, an important reality

1059
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: keep in mind, and that is reducer. Mark has to

1060
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 1: remind me of this sometimes when I'm in the Freedom

1061
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Hunt in the language is getting a little salty. What

1062
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: is that when you have microphones and cameras around you. Yeah,

1063
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: if you're not on air, you can let it loose

1064
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: a little bit sometimes, and there's a different presentation that

1065
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: we all have when we are presenting in front of

1066
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: an audience versus when we're just talking off mike. But

1067
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: you gotta always assume that maybe it's being recorded and

1068
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: maybe it will you know, for those who don't remember,

1069
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: What'll Do It Live? We'll Do It Live. One of

1070
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: the greatest moments, and I really think one of the

1071
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: greatest bods in TV history. It's amazing, and I like

1072
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: I like Bill O'Reilly. I think he's a great TV talent.

1073
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: It's just one of the funniest things. It's just one

1074
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: of the funniest things I've ever seen, and it's just

1075
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: really funny. So no disrespect ment to the big man.

1076
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: I just think that that clip is pretty hilarious. But

1077
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: you gott always remember that people are recording these things,

1078
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: and you know that there's the possibility that it will leak.

1079
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: And this one day Amy Roeboch talked was talking kind

1080
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: of off mike, or rather not thinking this would air

1081
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: about how well, let me let's just let her to

1082
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: This is about the Epstein case. Here is what a

1083
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: big time ABC News anchor had to say when she

1084
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: didn't think people were listening play it. I've had the

1085
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: story of three years I've had this interview with for

1086
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: Jinny Roberts. We would not put it on the air.

1087
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: First of all, I was told, who's Jeffrey Epstein? No

1088
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: one knows who that is. This is a stupid story.

1089
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Then the Palace found out that we had her whole

1090
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways.

1091
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: We were so afraid we wouldn't be able to interview

1092
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: Kate will that that also quashed the story. And then

1093
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: and then Alan Dershowitz was also implicated in because of

1094
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 1: the planes. She told me everything, she had, pictures, she had, everything,

1095
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: She wasn't hiding for twelve years. We convinced her to

1096
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: come out. We convinced her to talk to us. It

1097
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: was unbelievable what we had, Clinton, we have everything. I

1098
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: tried for three years to get it on to no avail,

1099
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: and now it's all coming out and it's like these

1100
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: new relevant revelations and I freaking had all of it.

1101
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm so pissed right now, Like every day, I get

1102
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: more and more pissed because I'm just like, oh my god,

1103
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: it was what we had was unreal. Other women backing

1104
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: it up, Hey yep, Bright Edwards the attorney three years

1105
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: ago saying like like we there will come a day

1106
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: when we will realize Jeffrey Epstein was the most prolific

1107
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 1: pedophile this country has ever known. And I had it

1108
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: all three years ago. Now, the good news for Amy

1109
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: Robock is that she actually comes out of its looking

1110
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: pretty good. The people who don't look good are the

1111
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: executives at ABC who and she just ran down all

1112
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: the stuff here. And this is why, you know what

1113
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: I've been saying that there was a conspiracy of silence

1114
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: around Epstein. Of course there was. They're very powerful people,

1115
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: very powerful Democrats by the way. You notice Dershowitz, Clanton,

1116
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: the royal family in the UK, which I'm not think

1117
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 1: they're not Democrats, but what the heck is going on there?

1118
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,919
Speaker 1: Who is Epstein? Well, that's why you break a major

1119
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: national news store and you tell, you tell people who

1120
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: Epstein is? Right? What you what? Here's what's clear about this?

1121
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: And you see this, You constantly see this happening in

1122
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: major news rooms. You saw this with NBC with Matt Lauer.

1123
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: By the way, they haven't brought in an independent investigator

1124
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: yet to look at what was really happening at NBC

1125
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: News with Matt Lauer, who had the sketchy button installed

1126
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: under his desk for security reasons. I love this like

1127
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: we're all a bunch of morons. Yeah, sure, because that

1128
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: was going to save him. If somebody came into the

1129
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: office to harming he has a button on his desk,

1130
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 1: he'd hit the lock the door. We know what that

1131
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: button was all about, all right, and we know that

1132
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 1: they know that it was installed in his office. And

1133
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: I've been hearing shady rumors about Matt Low and I'm

1134
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: just a little dude in media that no one even

1135
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: pays attention to in the mainstream. I had known stuff

1136
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: about him for years. I mean heard rumors, I should say,

1137
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:10,479
Speaker 1: and the rumors turn out to be true. I didn't

1138
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: know the names and stuff, but I knew that he

1139
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: was doing stuff with young women while he's a married guy.

1140
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: At his place, and people who work for him, they

1141
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: won't bring an independent investigator because they'll find out is

1142
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: that the NBC executive some of them knew about it

1143
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: and didn't do anything about it. I'd also like to

1144
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,959
Speaker 1: know what years was Jeff Zucker, a senior executive at NBC,

1145
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: because I'm prettyure Matt Lauer was there when Jeff Zucker

1146
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: was at the same time. I just think that would

1147
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: be an interesting thing for someone to look into. What

1148
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: a surprise, But they didn't do what they should have done.

1149
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: They weren't acting ethically because of the money involved and

1150
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: because of the powerful relationships involved, and for ABC News too.

1151
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Does anyone think for a second that what Roebox says

1152
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 1: here is untrue that when you look at the pressure

1153
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: of the royal family saying the note Kate and Will interviews.

1154
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: By the way, Americans, I beg you, all right, I

1155
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: love I love my fellow Americans more than any people

1156
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: in the world. Stop giving a crap about the royal family.

1157
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: It's worthless. It doesn't matter. It's weird, okay, we need

1158
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: to not I don't know what I mean, like the Billbergs,

1159
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Illuminati and the Queen of England and

1160
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: forget about all that stuff. I just mean, what is this?

1161
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: Why do we care? It's not a fairy tale. It's

1162
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: kind of weird. We are anti We fought a war

1163
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: about not having the deal with monarchy. I don't really

1164
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: want the monarchy to invade our space because of media,

1165
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: all right. I think the monarchy thing is bizarre. I

1166
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: think they're a bunch of entitled brats. I don't get it.

1167
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't get it. And i'd say about any country,

1168
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: although we only seem to have this fascination with the

1169
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: British royal family, Like the doesn't even even know there's

1170
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: a Danish I think there's a Danish king. There's a

1171
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 1: Swedish king that these places all have. But they're like

1172
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: they're like socialist kings, now, you know what I mean.

1173
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: They show up, they their their palaces have lots of

1174
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: Ikea furniture. It's a little bit of a different vibe.

1175
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: But Kate and Will, they're going to deny that, you know,

1176
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: access to the royal family, and the royal family I'm

1177
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: sure threatened to sue. Look, I mean, I'm a guy, okay,

1178
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen a lot of photos of a

1179
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: lot of people. And you know, if you're a guy,

1180
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: you've spent left time on social media, you always can

1181
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: kind of tell when someone's holding your girlfriend a little

1182
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: too close, or somebody's trying to And I'm just gonna

1183
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: say it. You see that photo that Prince Andrew has

1184
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: with one of the one of the victims, who's when

1185
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: she was a very young girl, I think fifteen or

1186
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: sixteen at the time. I mean, he's holding a way

1187
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: where if that were my daughter, I would lose my

1188
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: mind that that old British dude. I mean, because you

1189
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: can just you look at the photo. There's something sketchy

1190
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: going on. There's something sketchy going on. So they had

1191
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: this stuff. There was proof. ABC had evidence. Roebock is saying,

1192
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: we had the girls. She's gonna come forward. She had photos,

1193
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:57,919
Speaker 1: she had everything, she had names, manifests of flights would

1194
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 1: have proven that these guys would fly. They didn't want

1195
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: to rom with this story. This isn't this is an

1196
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: incredible story. They still haven't figured out how this guy

1197
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: made all of his money, by the way, they still

1198
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: haven't really and they and everyone's reporting on Epstein. I mean,

1199
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: now I started to get into this Epstein zone where

1200
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,919
Speaker 1: I lose my mind. Everyone reports on Epstein about how

1201
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: he had surveillance equipment and it was all set up

1202
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 1: so that they could blackmail, that he could blackmail people.

1203
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Who was he blackmailing? No names? No names, wait, wait,

1204
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: we have no No one has been accused, or rather,

1205
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: no one has been brought into this because of the

1206
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: the blackmail that Epstein was supposedly preparing to use or

1207
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: using against them. No one has been indicted who was

1208
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: in epstein enabler or somebody else that Epstein was inflicting

1209
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 1: upon these these young girls. No charges. The statutes on

1210
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: that stuff would be very lengthy. I mean, I'd have

1211
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: to look at the specifics, but I mean trafficking and

1212
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: underaged girls. And I think the statute you're look if

1213
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: there might not be any statute of limitations depends on

1214
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: what they're talking about, state or federal. So no charge, nothing,

1215
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: nearly Epstein's dead case closed. That's what we're supposed to

1216
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: accept from this. When you have ABC News making it

1217
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: quite clear that the ABC brass was ABC News brass

1218
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 1: was like, Nope, not touching this. And my friends, these

1219
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: are people, these are all they're all incredibly well paid.

1220
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 1: We're talking about millionaires with tremendous connections. But unfortunately a

1221
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: lot of the people who are in that category in

1222
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: this country in the media are cowards. They really on

1223
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: this will sound like a cliche. They want to be

1224
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,599
Speaker 1: invited to the fancy parties in the Hamptons. They don't

1225
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: want to rock the boat. They want to be considered

1226
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: among the elite. They want to be welcome at parties.

1227
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: They're not looking to speak truth to power, they just

1228
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: want to be near power. They're sycophants. They're not patriots.

1229
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: They're not truthtellers. An ABC News just showed us exactly

1230
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: a rather robot is telling us exactly what ABC News

1231
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,719
Speaker 1: is all about. Young girls are being trafficked and violated

1232
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: by this Epstein maniac. Nobody wanted to do anything about it. Rich,

1233
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 1: multi millionaire media celebrities knew about this. Executives knew about this,

1234
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. I hope you're all enjoying the Buck

1246
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: really going to prison for forty five years? All right?

1247
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: For those who don't know, Aunt Becky's better known as

1248
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 1: Laurie Laughlin. That's her real name. She was the much

1249
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: beloved and in her day quite lovely aunt on the

1250
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: show Full House. Who was the girlfriend or white? I

1251
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: think she was the girlfriend of right, wasn't the wife

1252
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: of John? Eventually she was the wife? Yeah, eventually they

1253
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:18,719
Speaker 1: got married, right, But originally Aunt Becky was the girlfriend

1254
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: on the show Full House, which was just a beloved

1255
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 1: I watched her growing up. I mean I grew up

1256
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: watching Candice Cameron and what was the other one's name?

1257
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't even remember now, Kirk Kirk Cameron. That's the

1258
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: right show, right, or is that? Yeah? No? Is Kirk

1259
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: Cameron full House? No? No, no, I got I've got

1260
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: my shows. Whatever, doesn't Who cares? He was on one

1261
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 1: of those shows where people are nice to each other,

1262
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: and there's like a like an intact family or close

1263
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: to it, where people are being nice to each other.

1264
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: You think of Bob Sackett. No, No, that's the dad. Yeah, No,

1265
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 1: I think I think he's in I think he's the

1266
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,759
Speaker 1: older brother. Anyway, the neither here nor there full house

1267
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: aunt Becky. I'd kind of a crushed it at Becky

1268
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 1: back in the day. She had great hair, which I respect.

1269
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: And here's the problem for him, Becky now and her

1270
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: and her husband Massimo Giannouli, which is a great name

1271
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: for a fashion designer, which is what he is, a Massimo.

1272
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: So they bribed some coaches at USC, using that this

1273
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: is all Operation Varsity Blues, right, this has became a

1274
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 1: big story. I was like, oh my gosh. They bribed

1275
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: some coaches to say that their daughters were on the

1276
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: crew team. Their daughters were not on the crew team,

1277
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 1: or rather there were crew recruits. And having been someone

1278
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: who actually rote crew in college, I can tell you

1279
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: that those girls are not on the crew team. Okay,

1280
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put that out there. I've seen photos.

1281
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 1: They're not ladies who rowe. You know, they row. But

1282
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:56,720
Speaker 1: I digress. So they bribe these coaches and this is

1283
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 1: still a big store. Why is the big story Because

1284
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: they're facing now additional federal prosecution. They want to take

1285
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: it to a jury. They're going to fight this all

1286
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: the way. But if they get convicted. If Massimo and

1287
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 1: aunt Becky get convicted on all I'm gonna keep calling

1288
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 1: me aunt Becky because that's how I know of her.

1289
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,679
Speaker 1: But that's Laurie Laughlin, the actress. If they get convicted

1290
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 1: on all accounts, they could get forty five years in

1291
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: federal prison. All right, forty five years. Now, the way

1292
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: the guidelines work, they wouldn't get forty five years. But

1293
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. If they take this to

1294
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,639
Speaker 1: a jury and the jury says, sorry, you broke the law.

1295
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: And technically, even though the money laundering statutes you violated

1296
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: are meant to go after drug kingpins and people doing

1297
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:42,679
Speaker 1: really bad things, not people bribing their kids into college,

1298
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 1: you did break the law and it is kind of

1299
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: what you did, and you know, that's kind of where

1300
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 1: it is. They could go to prison for a few years.

1301
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I would not be surprised if Aunt aunt Becky,

1302
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean I had to look at the specifics of

1303
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: the charges. But if she asistant takes it to a jury, uh,

1304
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: you know, and they and they find them guilty on

1305
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 1: some of these counts, they're going to prison for a while.

1306
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: And remember in federal in a federal system, you'd serve

1307
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: the whole time. So whatever the judge says you get,

1308
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: that's what you get, and you serve it. There's no parole.

1309
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 1: I would note that Felicity Huffman from Desperate Housewives has

1310
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: already served her time. She got fourteen days but was

1311
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 1: released after twelve because there was a weekend or something,

1312
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 1: so she wasn't exactly wasn't exactly shawshank, you know, she was.

1313
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:29,640
Speaker 1: She was able to get out. It was okay. It

1314
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:34,600
Speaker 1: wasn't that bad. She you know. It also reminds me

1315
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 1: of the Vandem movie. I think it's death Warrant where

1316
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: they get this guy. If you think about this, this

1317
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: is an idea. They send an undercover police officer into

1318
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 1: like the scariest prison ever to go after the guy

1319
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 1: who's the meanest, badest, scariest guy in the prison as

1320
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: an inmate. I'm like, who woulds? Who would? But he

1321
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: does many good fly kick he has many spinning kick

1322
01:13:55,400 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 1: vandam yes, who would sign up for that? I gotta

1323
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:02,719
Speaker 1: tell you, I think that's that's a bit of a stretch.

1324
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:06,759
Speaker 1: Producer Razuto, who's watching this, he's probably he's probably almost

1325
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: as much of a Van damn aficionado as I am.

1326
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 1: So anyway, we have where was I? We have law?

1327
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean Huffman, not Laughlin. Hufflin has pleaded guilty, she

1328
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 1: got to twelve days, but Laurie Laughlin's taken this all

1329
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: the way. Now, why why are the fens making such

1330
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 1: a big deal in to this? This is clearly federal overreach.

1331
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:32,640
Speaker 1: I've been saying that from the beginning. Bribing your way

1332
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: into college. I mean, this should not even be a

1333
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,639
Speaker 1: criminal really a criminal offense. If it is a criminal offense,

1334
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 1: it should be you pay a very large you should

1335
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 1: pay a large fine. Remember, there's already been consequences for this.

1336
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 1: The daughters had to leave USC, and no offense to USC.

1337
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: But it's not usually the kind of place you think

1338
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 1: of when people are bribing to get their kids in.

1339
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be school snobby here, but it's

1340
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: not Stanford. But anyway, they they bribe their kids to

1341
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: get them into USC. I'm sorry, they bribed the administered,

1342
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: they brought the coaches to get their kids in the USC.

1343
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 1: But the kids have had to withdraw and you obviously

1344
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: suffered some humiliation. Laughlin has already been cut from I

1345
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 1: think Netflix, a Netflix series, as well as the Fuller House,

1346
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 1: which I've heard is terrible, which is the spinoff or

1347
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: addition to the original Full House. So there are bad

1348
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 1: things that have happened to these people already because of

1349
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 1: their decision to bribe bribe these officials. And this is

1350
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: where I want to just point out that unfortunately, envy

1351
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: is very powerful politics, and prosecutors are often politicians, and

1352
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:47,600
Speaker 1: finding a very well to do, attractive white female celebrity

1353
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 1: like this and making an example of her in this

1354
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: way in our current environment is attractive politics to a

1355
01:15:55,960 --> 01:16:01,559
Speaker 1: lot of people, particularly on the left. This is where

1356
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: the federal overreach component gets really scary. When you see

1357
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: people that are being made an example of because of

1358
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 1: who they are, not what they did. We should all

1359
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,759
Speaker 1: be worried about that. I can tell you from friends

1360
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 1: who have worked in US attorney's offices across the country.

1361
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 1: There is always a there's a premium put on prosecutions

1362
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 1: of corruption of public officials, which I understand keeping trust

1363
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: in the system or whatever, but you know, they sometimes

1364
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 1: look where they did to Bligoevich. I mean, sometimes they

1365
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 1: go after these guys really really aggressively because of it

1366
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 1: looks good, right, politician speaking truth to power. There's that

1367
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: speaking truth to power again. But also for white collar crimes,

1368
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: there are people who believe that it is an issue

1369
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 1: of fairness that someone who is engaged in insider training

1370
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: and makes you a million dollars illicitly should serve a

1371
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 1: really stiff prison sentence along the lines of somebody who

1372
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 1: went into a convenience store with a gun and stole

1373
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars. I think that's crazy, but there are

1374
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 1: people who will make that argument. There are people who

1375
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: will say that they're that part of the racial injustice

1376
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: in our system is that there are certain crimes that

1377
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: are disproportionately committed by non by people who are either

1378
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: well white or Asian, and that those crimes are more

1379
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,600
Speaker 1: lightly punished, and there's a racial component of that. I

1380
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:36,799
Speaker 1: mean to that, I just say, well, that's because stealing

1381
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 1: money through a stock fraud is far less of a

1382
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,640
Speaker 1: of an imminent social harm and risk and risk to

1383
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 1: life and limb than threatening somebody with a gun. I

1384
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 1: don't care what someone's skin color is. If they threatened

1385
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:49,560
Speaker 1: somebody with a gun, that's a really serious crime. I

1386
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: don't care what someone's skin color is if they are

1387
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,640
Speaker 1: engaged in medicare fraud, Yeah, they should be punished. But

1388
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm not worried to guy engaged in medicare fraud is

1389
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 1: going to get out of prison and kill somebody, right,

1390
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 1: So this is but there there is this argument you'll

1391
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,720
Speaker 1: see for especially for the criminal justice reform type. Some

1392
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: of them will say that, you know, we need to

1393
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: really punish. There's this impetus to really punish non violent crimes,

1394
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: especially if they affect the elites. Right, So I think

1395
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: that there's some of that mentality at work here with Yeah,

1396
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: people cheating to get their kids into school, and you know,

1397
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:31,639
Speaker 1: this for me also forces a whole discussion about I mean,

1398
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: I think that the way that people get into school

1399
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 1: in a whole variety of context is really gross and

1400
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:39,559
Speaker 1: bad and wrong. And now is where everyone starts booing.

1401
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that athletic recruiting for colleges overwhelmingly

1402
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 1: is strange and bizarre. I think that Title nine shouldn't

1403
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:47,719
Speaker 1: exist the way that it does for women's and men's

1404
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: athletics teams, as though we're supposed to assume that women

1405
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 1: want to play sports at the same levels as men

1406
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: in schools, and we have to allocate funds the exact

1407
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: same way. I think that that's bizarre. I think it's wrong.

1408
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: I think that people getting into schools because their parents

1409
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 1: went there legacy is a problem. It's just financial issue

1410
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 1: because legacy donations are very important to these schools. But

1411
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:12,959
Speaker 1: I think it's gross. I should say I think affirmative

1412
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 1: action is wrong. I think it's discrimination by race. And

1413
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 1: if you want to stop discriminating by race, the best

1414
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 1: way to do it is to stop discriminating by race.

1415
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,719
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of complexity in the college admissions world,

1416
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: and then there's also just the advancement office. Right. This

1417
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:29,719
Speaker 1: is remember that where they described this in the initial

1418
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 1: Varsity Blues, which is what they call this whole college

1419
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 1: admissions thing. You can go in the front door, which

1420
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: is normal admissions. The backdoor is write a huge check.

1421
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 1: The side door is right, a small check to somebody

1422
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 1: who can insert you in the process, coaches, etc. Who

1423
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 1: can get you into the school in this way that is,

1424
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, not in keeping with the rules. I mean

1425
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 1: to this, I just say so, it's not a bribe

1426
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 1: that sends you to federal prison if you give it

1427
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 1: to the administrators. But it is a bribe that'll get

1428
01:19:58,000 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: you sent to federal prison if you give it to

1429
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:04,679
Speaker 1: a coach. People could say, oh, but buck, the admission

1430
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 1: spots are a thing of value, and that thing of

1431
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: value is to be allocated by the administration of the school,

1432
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 1: not by any individual coaching. To that, I say, well,

1433
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 1: that's not even really true, because coaches do get to

1434
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: pick people as they see fit for their teams and

1435
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:25,120
Speaker 1: get through the admission process. That's why they have the

1436
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,719
Speaker 1: value they do. And so, in what way is paying

1437
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: off a coach a federal crime? Gross unseemly sure a

1438
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: federal crime. I spoke to some DOJ contacts when I

1439
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 1: was in DC when this case first broke, and they

1440
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, this is this is way because remember

1441
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,719
Speaker 1: that's this is being handled by the US Attorney's Office

1442
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Guess what. I'm sure there's a lot

1443
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: of libs, but they they agreed. I mean, my friends

1444
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: in DC and the Department of Justice they agreed that

1445
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,519
Speaker 1: there's a lot of overreach and there's some there's kind

1446
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 1: of some headhunting going on here. I mean, there's some

1447
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 1: going for scalps, there's some trying to make a political

1448
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 1: point here. But yeah, privilege and wealth and access. We're

1449
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 1: going to really stick it to those people. Forty five

1450
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 1: years in federal prison for Aunt Becky. I know it's

1451
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: not going to be, but the fact that she even

1452
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 1: faces that, I mean, when they look at the charges,

1453
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: it'll be enough for senator prison for forty five years.

1454
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 1: Who is who is egregiously harmed in this process? Isn't

1455
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 1: it enough that the students have been that her daughters

1456
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 1: have been expelled, humiliated, She's lost a lot of money

1457
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 1: from her career. You know, Have her do some I mean,

1458
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: I agree with Bill McGurn in the Wall Street Journal.

1459
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:38,759
Speaker 1: Have her do some community service, pay a pretty hefty fine,

1460
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 1: and go about her life. You sent to prison for

1461
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: this insane But you know, another part of this is

1462
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 1: that the incentive for the federal government to have you

1463
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: plead guilty way too high. And they'd say, but but

1464
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: you're getting a benefit. That's why you plead guilty, because

1465
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 1: you get the benefit. But our systems shouldn't really be

1466
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,680
Speaker 1: what it is right now, where it's apt what the

1467
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: federal government says about you. By the way, this comes

1468
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: into play with General Flynn as well, where they forced

1469
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: to plea I think really illicitly by hiding things that

1470
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: were exculpatory, but they forced to plea, and now they say, sorry,

1471
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 1: you took the plea. It doesn't matter how we got

1472
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 1: you to take it. That's the position of the federal

1473
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: government with General Flynn right now. But it's not in

1474
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 1: the interests of justice to say, accept our allegation of

1475
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: guilt against you as true and you'll live to fight

1476
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: another day. Fight against our allegation of you as truth,

1477
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 1: and we will annihilate your life and send you a

1478
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:39,560
Speaker 1: prison for decades. That's not justice. I know, it's the

1479
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 1: system we have right now, but that's not the same

1480
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: thing as justice. So you know, free Aunt Becky, that's

1481
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: what I say, Free Aunt Becky. And there, well, I

1482
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: was Felicity. Huffin's already out. I never watched Desperate Housewives,

1483
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: so I don't have I don't get it excited about

1484
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: that one. I can't really pretend that I care all

1485
01:22:57,800 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 1: that much. But I don't know Aunt Becky. I grew

1486
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: up with Becky. Man. Come on, all they need those one?

1487
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the game they're playing. Maybe this is

1488
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: all they need on that jury is one millennial or

1489
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: gen X or y person. I guess that'd be the

1490
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 1: right age who grew up watching Full House and and

1491
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:21,720
Speaker 1: Becky's gonna walk. That's what I think. The truth is

1492
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 1: what I what. I send that Becky to prison? Of

1493
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 1: course not, I'm not a monster. Tell everything they're gonna do. Like,

1494
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: if you're gonna take people's guns away, wait till you

1495
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:36,599
Speaker 1: get elected, then take the guns of time. If you're

1496
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: gonna take that guns away, don't tell them ahead of time.

1497
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: Gotta make sure you get elected and then you can

1498
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 1: fool them, you can bamboozle them. Joy beiha. A woman

1499
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 1: makes millions of dollars doing TV. Folks. I don't know

1500
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 1: what to say other than what a country we live in.

1501
01:23:57,720 --> 01:23:59,599
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Mark how I talked about how Beto's

1502
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 1: out of the By the way, did I get to

1503
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 1: this at all? Oh see, That's why I was thinking

1504
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: about this, because like, oh, I was just really feel

1505
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 1: like I was leaning into my my better own personation

1506
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:12,799
Speaker 1: about how this country is so racist and so terrible,

1507
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: and I felt like I was getting Bettos cadence down

1508
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 1: where he would just accept whatever you said about him

1509
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: and his privilege and how he's like super rich and

1510
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 1: white and that's like terrible and he's really should be

1511
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 1: ashamed of it, And I was so excited. I was like,

1512
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 1: this guy's got all He's out. He bailed on Friday, Man,

1513
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: Beto is done zo. I didn't even get to talk

1514
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 1: about it because the way he announced it over the weekend,

1515
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:43,559
Speaker 1: I guess he was hoping people like me wouldn't spend

1516
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,840
Speaker 1: a whole day just making fun of how terrible his

1517
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: campaign was. But there was something particularly, is hubristic a word?

1518
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 1: Let's assume it is, because I want to say it

1519
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 1: full of hubrists. I think hubristics should be a word.

1520
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 1: If it's not, I'll do like a I'll like the

1521
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 1: bush thing, misunderestimate him, make it up. But there was

1522
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:04,719
Speaker 1: a lot of hubrists coming from Beto O'Rourke all along,

1523
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,679
Speaker 1: not just the Vanity Fair cover based on what why

1524
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 1: was he on the cover of Vanity Fair? There was

1525
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: a hero worship of him from the left because he

1526
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 1: was willing to be the guy who was supposed to

1527
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 1: well take Texas from Ted Cruz and turn the state blue.

1528
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 1: The most expensive senate race terms of dollars in in history,

1529
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 1: more more money for better o'rouric the most expensive senate campaign. Ever,

1530
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 1: he lost, and then they wanted him to be president

1531
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: the United States, and this guy would go around saying, yeah,

1532
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:41,600
Speaker 1: I think we're just gonna take your guns, and I

1533
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 1: just think that when the law changes, like we'll take

1534
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 1: all of your guns, and if you don't like that,

1535
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: well then like clearly you're like bad and we're just

1536
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:54,520
Speaker 1: going to take the guns anyway, not understanding the constitutional

1537
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 1: as well as logistical hurdles of just seizing firearms from

1538
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 1: people because you have a really weak argument about how

1539
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 1: it will make them safer. But you're Beto O'Rourke and

1540
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 1: you're on the cover of Vanity Fair but taking guns

1541
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:14,680
Speaker 1: and so that's what the joy behar there is a

1542
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 1: more savvy observer of politics than Betto is, because she

1543
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 1: at least understands that Betto's problems that he started telling

1544
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 1: us what he really thinks. He was taking the most

1545
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 1: far left wing position on issue after issue, but specifically

1546
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:31,560
Speaker 1: on guns. He was saying what Democrats think to themselves

1547
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 1: but don't say aloud, not understanding that there's a reason

1548
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 1: they don't say that alloud. There are reasons why they

1549
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:43,559
Speaker 1: don't just let it rip and tell Republicans what they're

1550
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: really planning to do in this whole process. So Beto

1551
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 1: is no longer running for president, which makes me a

1552
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 1: little bit sad. We've lost the Blasio, We've lost beto've

1553
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:01,559
Speaker 1: we're about to lose. I think we're about to lose.

1554
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 1: When did Castro already stop? I think he might have

1555
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 1: already stopped. If he hasn't, it's ridiculous that he hasn't.

1556
01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 1: Tom Styre is not gonna stop. He's a billionaire, so

1557
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: he can just waste money on whatever he wants. He's

1558
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 1: wasting money annoying the American people with his climate change lunacy.

1559
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'd say that there's some stuff here. There's

1560
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 1: some things, some things to look at going forward about

1561
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 1: how it is that Democrats were even in any way,

1562
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 1: at any point in time, we willing to get behind

1563
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: this guy Bette Aroor. It's like, yeah, I agree, you

1564
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 1: should make me president because I just think that I'm

1565
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 1: terrible because I'm rich and I'm a white guy, and

1566
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:37,600
Speaker 1: I've so much privilege and I'm just drowning in my

1567
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 1: privilege all the time. But because I admit it, you

1568
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 1: should make me president. Nope, not gonna happen. As Tucker

1569
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 1: calls him Betteau. This is a president who is trying

1570
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:57,479
Speaker 1: to divide us up based on the color of our skin,

1571
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:12,760
Speaker 1: where we were born, our sexual orientation, or our religion.

1572
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:18,879
Speaker 1: Who is really doing the dividing in this country? Trump

1573
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 1: or the Democratic Party. I think it's an important question.

1574
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 1: I think it's something that we have to ask here.

1575
01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:29,840
Speaker 1: Who is really in charge of making sure that the

1576
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 1: American people do not unify around our shared americanness? In fact,

1577
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:40,600
Speaker 1: who has an entire ideology devoted to the study of oppression,

1578
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: not just between one dominant group and all the other groups,

1579
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 1: although that's certainly a part of it, but the oppression

1580
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: among oppressed groups, intersectionality, which is central to the left

1581
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 1: thesis of how America works these is So, I just

1582
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 1: want to know which side of the aisle is really

1583
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:59,000
Speaker 1: obsessed with all this stuff. Who cares about identity politics.

1584
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 1: By the way, producer Marcus told me that I cannot

1585
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 1: scratch my beard where I'm doing the show, which has

1586
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 1: become a habit of mind because you can actually hear it,

1587
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 1: which is it's like this rustling sound, this rustling sound

1588
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 1: of manly beard being shifted around. Well deepened sonorous words

1589
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:20,400
Speaker 1: are being spoken, he's producing marks about to vomit. But

1590
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 1: the point here is that Bernie Sanders is talking about

1591
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: how Trump divides us all the time, and Trump is

1592
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:30,880
Speaker 1: a is a racist, and I keep coming back to

1593
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:34,799
Speaker 1: I wish they would give me the examples of Trump

1594
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,760
Speaker 1: being a racist, and I would also you know that

1595
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 1: that are real examples of him being a racist, not

1596
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 1: the lie about what he said. They lied about what

1597
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:43,840
Speaker 1: he said. Charltt's well, they lied. And I even saw

1598
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 1: some I remember, and I've not forgotten who they were.

1599
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:47,840
Speaker 1: There were some conservatives who came after me because I

1600
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 1: was like, why are they all pretending? Like he said?

1601
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: But he didn't say, oh, books are there good people

1602
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:54,559
Speaker 1: on both sides? No, of course there aren't good people

1603
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: on both sides when you're talking about neo Nazis on

1604
01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:00,599
Speaker 1: one side. Trump didn't say that. There's a T and script.

1605
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:04,120
Speaker 1: A lot of focus on transcripts these days. There's a transcript,

1606
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:08,599
Speaker 1: to be sure, but calling out the president for being racist.

1607
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 1: And yet here we have a president who has gotten

1608
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 1: Criminal Justice Reformed pass, which disproportionately has positive impact on

1609
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 1: minority particularly black and Latino communities. It gets no credit

1610
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 1: for whatsoever. None a president of the United States, who

1611
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 1: I think that there's a certain respect that a lot.

1612
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean, at least some of the minorities that I've

1613
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 1: talked to you about their support for Trump. I can

1614
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:37,160
Speaker 1: speak to that because I know a number. I know

1615
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:40,920
Speaker 1: a lot of minorities personally who are Trump supporters, whether

1616
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:45,799
Speaker 1: they're Black, Asian, Latino, and they appreciate that when Trump

1617
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:49,719
Speaker 1: speaks to those communities, he's speaking about how he wants

1618
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:53,919
Speaker 1: prosperity for them, how he wants people in any community,

1619
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:56,640
Speaker 1: including minority communities in this country, to be in the

1620
01:30:56,640 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 1: best spot possible, to have the most prosperous future, make

1621
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:04,200
Speaker 1: the most money, be the most successful they can be.

1622
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:07,760
Speaker 1: I think there's a level of respect there. It's Democrats

1623
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:11,599
Speaker 1: who often take this position of, well, we need a

1624
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:15,759
Speaker 1: bigger welfare state, we need more government handouts for people,

1625
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,160
Speaker 1: and if you oppose that, you must be racist. Well,

1626
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 1: what are the implications that the Democrats are making there?

1627
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:25,439
Speaker 1: The Trump position to me seems to be to have

1628
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:29,519
Speaker 1: a lot of faith in the black and Latino and

1629
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 1: other minority communities in this country that without the government

1630
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:37,680
Speaker 1: in their way, without the government creating reverse incentives for

1631
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:40,759
Speaker 1: them to do what is best for them to pursue

1632
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:42,800
Speaker 1: their own dreams that with the government out of the

1633
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 1: way and with lower taxes, with more jobs, those communities

1634
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:52,320
Speaker 1: will thrive. Those communities will the ingenuity and the skills

1635
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 1: and the intelligence and the work ethic within minority communities

1636
01:31:55,600 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 1: will be in even better position without the government doing these.

1637
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,440
Speaker 1: So Trump's positions, let us, let us make it easier

1638
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:09,040
Speaker 1: for minority communities across the country to become wealthier, more prosperous,

1639
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:12,680
Speaker 1: have more, you know, economic security and freedom. And the

1640
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 1: Democrat position to me always seems to be, well, we

1641
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 1: need you know, we need more, we need more handouts.

1642
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 1: And if you oppose handouts, there's something you're greedy and

1643
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 1: you're probably racist. So I talk to minorities who appreciate that.

1644
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:33,879
Speaker 1: Trump's position is that he speaks to minority communities as

1645
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:37,800
Speaker 1: as people that are striving for the same things as

1646
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 1: everybody else and have the same abilities and the same

1647
01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:43,600
Speaker 1: dreams and the same aspirations as everybody else, and is

1648
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 1: not pandering Democrats, especially white liberal democrats like Peto O'Rourke.

1649
01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:58,880
Speaker 1: All they do is pander, constantly, pander, constantly talking about

1650
01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 1: how even if you were to look at specific troubled

1651
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:06,680
Speaker 1: minority communities, like the poor areas of Baltimore, like the

1652
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:08,920
Speaker 1: South Side of Chicago. I believe the West Side actually

1653
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:10,799
Speaker 1: has some violence to it, but the South Side of Chicago,

1654
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:13,559
Speaker 1: and try to have a conversation about what could be

1655
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:18,760
Speaker 1: done there to make those communities less and have less

1656
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:23,160
Speaker 1: violence and be in better shape economically. Instead of having

1657
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:28,879
Speaker 1: that very worthwhile, sophisticated and respectful discussion, the Beato Arourics

1658
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 1: of the world just say, it's because of systemic racism.

1659
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 1: That's why there's all this violence in Baltimore. It's because

1660
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: of systemic racism. And when you would point to other places,

1661
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 1: you'd say, well, why is it that there are other

1662
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:43,040
Speaker 1: minority communities across the country where there's almost no violence.

1663
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 1: Is there not systemic racism there? Or is Can we

1664
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 1: look at specific communities and try to address criminal justice,

1665
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 1: law enforcement issues, economic issues and do so on a

1666
01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 1: plane of respect for everybody? There No Democrats, it's white

1667
01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:01,400
Speaker 1: liberal Democrats have one move when it comes to talking

1668
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 1: to minority communities, a least when they're trying to get

1669
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 1: them to vote for them, and that is pandering a

1670
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 1: lot of pandering. So I think it's and by the way,

1671
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:17,320
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders resonance with minority communities is a big question

1672
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:20,680
Speaker 1: mark so far continues to be not as much as

1673
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:24,679
Speaker 1: Pete Buddha judge who I mean, as African American support,

1674
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:27,600
Speaker 1: as I understand it is almost zero in this primary.

1675
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:31,600
Speaker 1: So it's interesting that Bernie Sanders, he's probably trying to

1676
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:36,919
Speaker 1: you know, establish them bonafit is with the minority community,

1677
01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:39,760
Speaker 1: minority communities across the country by attacking Trump on this

1678
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:42,639
Speaker 1: issue of race. But you know, Ilhan Omar, for example,

1679
01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:45,839
Speaker 1: also says that Trump is doing He's the one who's dividing.

1680
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:48,120
Speaker 1: He's the one who's separating us by race play a

1681
01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:52,719
Speaker 1: fourteen place. The current occupant of the White House likes

1682
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: to talk about making American degree, But every action and

1683
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:02,320
Speaker 1: virtually ever we warn out of his mouth is an

1684
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: attack on the very values and ideals that make this

1685
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,320
Speaker 1: country a peakin of hope for me and the people

1686
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:13,559
Speaker 1: around the world. Every action Trump's take, a Trump takes,

1687
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:17,680
Speaker 1: she says, is an attack on the ideals of this

1688
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:21,120
Speaker 1: count really, so it was if we had a real

1689
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:23,680
Speaker 1: journalist in this country, they'd probably ask, okay, so was

1690
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:29,719
Speaker 1: criminal justice reform meant to help the disproportionately incarcerated minority community.

1691
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:34,040
Speaker 1: Was that was that an attack on our values? I

1692
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, she says every action. I'm just I'm asking

1693
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 1: her based on the words that she uses here. So

1694
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:43,679
Speaker 1: was that an attack on our values? Huh? Is always

1695
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 1: touting the Black and Hispanic unemployment rate which is at

1696
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:52,240
Speaker 1: record lows, and the pride that President Trump has when

1697
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 1: he speaks of that issue, the sense of accomplishment and

1698
01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:58,559
Speaker 1: joy he has for those communities. Is that antithetical to her?

1699
01:35:58,680 --> 01:36:00,400
Speaker 1: Because there's all these things that you can talk about

1700
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:02,080
Speaker 1: with President Trump, you'd say, well, hold on a second.

1701
01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:05,600
Speaker 1: But she says that it's all against our values. She

1702
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:08,160
Speaker 1: doesn't even pick issues here or there, just like Bernie

1703
01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 1: Sanders says he's dividing us by race. At what point

1704
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:15,760
Speaker 1: is this not exaggeration or even overstatement? At what point

1705
01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:18,800
Speaker 1: is this just propaganda? Is this just lies, lies meant

1706
01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:20,679
Speaker 1: not just to smear the president, but to smear any

1707
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 1: of his supporters, to make it seem politically I'm sorry,

1708
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:28,120
Speaker 1: to make it seem socially, never mind politically unpalatable, unacceptable

1709
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:31,000
Speaker 1: to support this man. This is why they keep throwing

1710
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:33,200
Speaker 1: out these allegations of racism. This is why they keep

1711
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 1: telling us that President Trump is more or less a

1712
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 1: white nationalist, because they're hoping that, even though there's no

1713
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:44,320
Speaker 1: basis for these charges, that there's no real way to

1714
01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:46,559
Speaker 1: prove any of this or even to make a fair

1715
01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:49,679
Speaker 1: minded case about it, people will just hear the charge

1716
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:54,960
Speaker 1: and be scared to support the man. The show ain't

1717
01:36:55,000 --> 01:37:13,680
Speaker 1: over yet, folks keeping it. It's time for roll call. Indeed,

1718
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 1: it is roll call time everybody, which is exciting for

1719
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:21,040
Speaker 1: all of us. We've got a lot of stuff coming

1720
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: in here now and let's see. Oh wait, nope, First,

1721
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:26,559
Speaker 1: I gotta got to Facebook because we got to load

1722
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:29,400
Speaker 1: up the emails. I gotta figure out how to do

1723
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 1: this a little bit better. All right, inbox your Facebook

1724
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: dot com slash Buck Sexton to be in on the

1725
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,639
Speaker 1: Facebook roll call, Teenbucket, iHeartMedia dot com if you want

1726
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 1: to just send us thoughts elsewhere. Let's see. We have

1727
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:51,280
Speaker 1: Tom who rights. Hey, Buck, I was just listening to

1728
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 1: the podcast of yesterday's show, and I'm surprised you missed

1729
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 1: an important key detail about the Fox News poll when

1730
01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 1: you're reporting on it. Don't feel bad at Glenn and

1731
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:03,760
Speaker 1: Rush also missed it. The poll is absolute garbage. To

1732
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 1: be more specific, the breakdown a poll was forty five

1733
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 1: percent Democrat, thirty nine percent Republican, and sixteen percent independent.

1734
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 1: The breakdown for the country is thirty nine or thirty

1735
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:16,639
Speaker 1: one percent Democrat, twenty nine percent Republican, and thirty nine

1736
01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:21,280
Speaker 1: percent independent. The polsters oversampled Democrats by six percent over

1737
01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:25,800
Speaker 1: Republicans and by whopping fourteen percent over their average breakdown

1738
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 1: for the country. They also undersampled independence by an insanely

1739
01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:33,080
Speaker 1: huge amount. With this level of crappy polling, they can

1740
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 1: get any results they want. It's actually surprising they only

1741
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:39,040
Speaker 1: got forty nine percent to approve removing President Trump from office.

1742
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 1: This does not speak well for the Democrats, either with

1743
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:44,600
Speaker 1: impeachment or next November. And yes, I intentionally did not

1744
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:46,760
Speaker 1: capitalize Democrats to take care of Tom. Yeah. Tom, Well,

1745
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 1: you're crunching the numbers on this. But I kind of

1746
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:52,200
Speaker 1: got there just by my gut. I got there just

1747
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:55,360
Speaker 1: by figuring out that there's no way that what they

1748
01:38:55,479 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 1: are trying to tell us is true. And it's just

1749
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:02,759
Speaker 1: not surprising that there's a lot of nonsense going I remember,

1750
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:05,799
Speaker 1: poles are a way of shaping perception. And shaping perception,

1751
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: especially popularity on any specific issue, is a very powerful tool.

1752
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:12,479
Speaker 1: So do we think that the people that are in

1753
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:17,759
Speaker 1: positions to shape those things? Are they angels beyond reproach

1754
01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 1: or do they sometimes, maybe perhaps just a little bit,

1755
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,519
Speaker 1: decide that they're going to stack the deck for one

1756
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:27,919
Speaker 1: side or another. I think we all know that answer.

1757
01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:33,880
Speaker 1: Bride in hold on a second, Buck, I've got a

1758
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 1: way of circumventing the attempts for Democrats to hide behind children,

1759
01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 1: decorated veterans, and bad arguments. Simply get the person you're

1760
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 1: speaking with, degree with the so called protected person, then

1761
01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:51,200
Speaker 1: kindly inform them that your argument is now against their stance.

1762
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:55,120
Speaker 1: The protected person isn't okay. This is kind of complicated.

1763
01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:57,320
Speaker 1: Also help you out, Like soft butter and warm toast,

1764
01:39:57,680 --> 01:40:00,439
Speaker 1: time to spread some freedom. Coast to coast. Toast is

1765
01:40:00,479 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: the United States, and the butter is freedom. You spread

1766
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:05,519
Speaker 1: that stuff everywhere. It's also a good analogy because your

1767
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 1: roll call participants are from everywhere. Thank you so much, Brian.

1768
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate your writing him a man, it was great,

1769
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:15,280
Speaker 1: too great to get your stuff in the roll call here.

1770
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:21,280
Speaker 1: Richard hi Buck love your show. You explain everything and

1771
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:23,599
Speaker 1: seem to analyze events the way that I would. Thank

1772
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 1: you for your service. I heard Don Junior say Mitt

1773
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:30,680
Speaker 1: Romney was his favorite Democrat. Ha ha, Richard, thanks for

1774
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:33,200
Speaker 1: writing him, man, thank you for your kind words. I

1775
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:35,200
Speaker 1: think we'll have Don Junior on the show sometime this week,

1776
01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 1: so I've been in contact with him. It is very

1777
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:42,000
Speaker 1: likely we'll have mister Don Junior on. So there is

1778
01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:48,599
Speaker 1: that we got. Bradly, He writes Buck, I'm a new listener. Yes,

1779
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:52,800
Speaker 1: someone told someone to listen to the show. See it

1780
01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:55,080
Speaker 1: can happen. It can happen. It can be a day

1781
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:56,559
Speaker 1: to day thing. People just say, oh, yeah, you hear

1782
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:58,720
Speaker 1: about the Bucks Action show. I love the Bucks actual show.

1783
01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Oh you're listening. Yeah, I should listen to

1784
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:04,000
Speaker 1: other people. But Bucks way funnier and smarter. That's all

1785
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:06,000
Speaker 1: it takes. It's really easy. Just tell us about Oh

1786
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:07,760
Speaker 1: where do you get it? All iTunes? Wherever you listen

1787
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:10,280
Speaker 1: to podcasts, how do you find it? Type in the

1788
01:41:10,280 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 1: Buck sex and show. It'll come up. There's only one

1789
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:14,120
Speaker 1: Buck Sexingers doing a podcast right now at least, so

1790
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:17,599
Speaker 1: that's the good news. Sonia Bradley. Sorry, I got excited

1791
01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 1: I get excited about new podcast listeners. I love you

1792
01:41:20,439 --> 01:41:22,720
Speaker 1: old podcast listeners too. Don't worry you guys are you

1793
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 1: guys are awesome? You guys are a fan. Hey Buck,

1794
01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm a new listener. Sorry, we already said that, and

1795
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:28,720
Speaker 1: really enjoy what I'm hearing from you. You've become my

1796
01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 1: primary podcast only after only a couple of weeks. Yes,

1797
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:35,200
Speaker 1: my question for you is why is no one talking

1798
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:40,879
Speaker 1: about the possibility of weaponizing a program like Medicare for All.

1799
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure our voter registrations are accessible. Could you foresee

1800
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:48,680
Speaker 1: a situation where registered Republicans are given lower priority to

1801
01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:52,720
Speaker 1: rationed during ration care from behind enemy lines in California?

1802
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 1: Brad Um, I mean, Brad, you know, never say never,

1803
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:00,320
Speaker 1: but that does seem a little bit extreme to me.

1804
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 1: Medicare for All as a function of you know, there

1805
01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:08,880
Speaker 1: will be tears within it, and there will definitely be

1806
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 1: rationing that occurs, and then how that rationing is doled

1807
01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 1: out will become a fight for sure, and people will

1808
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:19,080
Speaker 1: then be arguing with each other over the over the

1809
01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:23,280
Speaker 1: way the government deploys the resources that are scared made

1810
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:28,559
Speaker 1: scarce by government intervention. Intervention in the healthcare marketplace. So

1811
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:30,720
Speaker 1: but I don't I don't think we're going to see

1812
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:33,720
Speaker 1: anything with Republican registration used to deny people care. I

1813
01:42:33,760 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 1: can't say I see that being because there's there are

1814
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:37,559
Speaker 1: still The good news is there's still a lot of

1815
01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 1: Republicans and they would be pretty upset understandably about that.

1816
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:44,920
Speaker 1: So I don't think we need to worry about that

1817
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:51,559
Speaker 1: one quite yet. Hold on, wait a second. We gotta

1818
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:56,679
Speaker 1: go to and that's that's when I have to take

1819
01:42:56,720 --> 01:43:00,680
Speaker 1: a moment here, Michael Rites, can you tell me more

1820
01:43:00,680 --> 01:43:03,920
Speaker 1: about yourself? Where are you located? I'm located in New

1821
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:11,759
Speaker 1: York City, So that's where I'm located, New York, New York, Randy.

1822
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 1: Hold on a second here, hey, buck Love the show

1823
01:43:15,479 --> 01:43:18,720
Speaker 1: shields high. So Elizabeth Warren released the cause for her

1824
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 1: Medicare for All no private medical insurance plan and so

1825
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:22,679
Speaker 1: she won't have to raise taxes in the middle class

1826
01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:25,120
Speaker 1: by one penny. She previously thought that her DNA tests

1827
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:27,439
Speaker 1: would show that she was one one and twenty fourth

1828
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:31,800
Speaker 1: native American, proved that she was part cheric Key, so

1829
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:33,800
Speaker 1: she has already proven that she has no concept of math.

1830
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:36,559
Speaker 1: Why would we believe her now? Just saying Randy, Well, Randy,

1831
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 1: I agree with you on that, my man. She is

1832
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:46,240
Speaker 1: not someone whose judgment I particularly respect or care to hear. Skip,

1833
01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 1: my man. Skip the new Netflix The King was excellent.

1834
01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:55,840
Speaker 1: Brought tears watching the battle. Really, I might have a

1835
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:57,000
Speaker 1: check that one out. You know what else, I gotta

1836
01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:58,640
Speaker 1: check out this little teaser for the show later this week.

1837
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 1: Because I'm a former CIA and with a cooler name

1838
01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:06,599
Speaker 1: than Jack Ryan buck Sexton the Jack Ryan Show on Amazon.

1839
01:44:07,200 --> 01:44:10,639
Speaker 1: I'm hearing some troubling things, friends. I'm hearing that there

1840
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 1: is a bit of social justice nonsense going on. I'm

1841
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 1: hearing that they're rewriting stuff to appeal to the left

1842
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 1: wing set in Hollywood. I don't like it, and I'm

1843
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to take it to task, I think because

1844
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:27,439
Speaker 1: CIA analysts should be depicted a certain way in the

1845
01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:33,799
Speaker 1: media as people of above average reading ability who dress

1846
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 1: in semi slovenly fashioned, drink a lot of coffee, and

1847
01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 1: go to a lot of meetings. So I'm gonna make

1848
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:41,880
Speaker 1: sure we keep it real with the CIA analyst. That's

1849
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:43,920
Speaker 1: gonna be it for today's show. We have a fantastic

1850
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:46,400
Speaker 1: show coming your way tomorrow and every day this week

1851
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:49,479
Speaker 1: because you know how we roll shields high
