WEBVTT - No Wall, No DACA

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Mr garbusch Off teared down this wall. Either you're with

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>us or you were with the terrorists. If you got

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>are satisfied with is not. When President of the United

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>State take it to a bank together, we will make

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>America great again. We'll never sharend. It's what you've been

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 1>waiting for all day. The buck Sexton Show joined the

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:42.959
<v Speaker 1>conversation called buck toll Free at eight four four nine

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred Buck. That's eight four four nine hundred to eight

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to five the future of talk radio. Buck Sexton, the Makers,

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>you said that you would be open to signing just

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>about any immigration deal that that vicar partisan group of

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>blockmakers said to you. Would you be willing to sign

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>an immigration deal that ultimately does not include funding for

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the border wall or would that be for you? No,

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>it's got to include the wall. We need the wall

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.320
<v Speaker 1>for security, we need the wall for safety, we need

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the wall for stopping the drugs from pouring in. I

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>would imagine that the people in the room, both Democrat

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and Republican, I really believe they're gonna come up with

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a solution to the DUCA problem, which has been going

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>on for a long time, and maybe beyond that immigration

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>as a whole. But any solution has to include the wall,

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 1>because without the wall, it all doesn't work. Without the wall,

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>it all doesn't work. Buck Sexton here, thank you so

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>much for joining me in the Freedom Hut, My friends, colleagues,

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>fellow patriots. Good to have you with me. As always,

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:52.279
<v Speaker 1>that was President Trump earlier today. You will note I

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I hope that yesterday we're throwing up the panic flag

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit because the presidents had a very interesting

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>immigration meeting with members of Congress that was televised. We

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>could see the give and take of the legislative debate

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.959
<v Speaker 1>process in action. People are worried because the President said

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>it needs to be a bill of love, and he

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>would be willing to take the heat. But today he's

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>saying there has to be a wall. And you know what,

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>if the president gets that wall, think think about the

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:33.239
<v Speaker 1>message that that's gonna send to the base, to the Democrats,

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 1>to the left, everybody. It's gonna show a president who

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>follows through on not just some promises, but core promises, central,

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>central to his platform, to his agenda. And wow, that

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>would be rocket fuel for the rest of the Trump term.

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Or terms. As I see it, it would be a

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.359
<v Speaker 1>phenomenal if he manages to get that. So I think

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>we should take some degree of reassurance from the president's

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>statements today very clear. I don't know how he could

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>be more clear about how we're gonna have a wall. Well,

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>one thing else that was interesting about yesterday didn't really

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>get enough attention, in my opinion, and that is not

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>only did the President show and I said this on

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the show yesterday, but show us that it's on Congress right,

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>they have to put something in front of him to sign,

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and if they come up with nothing, it can't be

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>all the President didn't lead or whatever. He has said

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>what the key points are of an immigration deal. He

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>has made it very straightforward in terms of what he wants,

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and now Congress has to get it done and he

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>says he will sign it. But there was a secondary

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>purpose that did not get nearly enough. I think play

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 1>some perhaps caught on a bit later in the game,

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>and I just wanted to take a take a ulligan,

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>take another another shot at this one. Jake Tapper even

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>over at CNN, if you're wondering if pushing aside those

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>concerns was at least partly the point of these on

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>camera negotiations for the Bill of Love. You're not being cynical,

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>You're being correct. And in fact, the Republican National Committee

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Rapid Response director sent out this take on the meeting quote.

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Many in the media has spent the last week hyper

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.559
<v Speaker 1>ventilating over a phony writer's opinions, But the American people

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>just witnessed President trumpily arguably the most transparent substantive policy

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>discussion with Congress maybe ever. So this is a very

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>important that was tappered CNN. And just because Tapper says

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean it's wrong. He actually was. He made

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>his name, I will remind you. I mean now he

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>does a lot of a lot of CNN's bidding and

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of anti Trump stuff. I'm very clear on that.

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:50.919
<v Speaker 1>But he made his name back I think when he

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>was an ABC reporter by just occasionally asking President Obama's

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 1>White House Press secretary or a bound himself a real question,

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>not how does it feel to be this artist person

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>in the history of the world, the most amazing, the

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>most moral, the most handsome, the most perfect. He would

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>actually ask occasionally, I'm not saying a lot, you know,

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 1>it was once in a while, but he would ask

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>a real question, Oh Jack Tapper, how could you? But

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>his point there is worth noting. Or he's really actually

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.720
<v Speaker 1>illustrating or highlighting a point that somebody else made. And

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that is one of the effects of yesterday. And look

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 1>this That was a Trump administration decision right to to

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>televise it in that way, to show it, to bring

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>us into the discussion, to bring the American people into

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the thick of the immigration debate, with the members of

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Congress there and we're seeing what they're saying, we're seeing

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the questions, we're seeing it in real time. Not only

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.359
<v Speaker 1>did it give us a particular window into what is

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 1>among the most important policy issues facing this country, it

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>is really an existential issue for the United States of

0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.559
<v Speaker 1>America in the long term. Forget climate change, this other stuff,

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>huge threat immigration. If we don't get this right, the

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>country changes and not for the better forever. Those are

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the stakes right now of the immigration discussion and debate.

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>But the secondary component of it was that Trump Trump

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>was able to smack down this Michael Wolf Fire and

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Fury book. As an aside, there's a book from the

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Second World War, I believe called Fire and Fury that

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 1>has shot up to the top of the best seller

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.720
<v Speaker 1>list because people are buying that book. It just happens

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 1>to be called Fire and Fury. That guy has got

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>to be psyched, right, That's that's great. You know, all

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, the book was published like a decade ago,

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.239
<v Speaker 1>people like I need Fire and Furious. You know, something

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>about some might even be a great book. I have

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.359
<v Speaker 1>no idea, but I think it's battles from the Second

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>World War. Uh. But by having the press conference, letting

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.719
<v Speaker 1>the American people see how does Trump interact with members

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.720
<v Speaker 1>of Congress, How does he run that kind of a meeting?

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>How does he handle that give and take of debate

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and discussion. Any honest person would see that and say

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to themselves, hold on a second. This is the president

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>who's crazy. This is the president who can't string a

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 1>string together a sentence. This is the president who has

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>no ideas and has no leadership. And all the stuff

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>that's in there right is sloppy, insane. Seen all these things,

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, all this just junk. They're trying to pile

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 1>in Trump. You watch that meeting yesterday, and not only

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>did you see what's going on with the immigration policy debate.

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>But you saw the President United States in action in

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>a way that just blows to smithereens this whole narrative

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 1>of the book fire and fury. So it was a

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>two for It was a double whammy. This is what

0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Trump has to do. This is what this admitted station

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>must continue to do, and that is to get around

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>or defeat the naysayers. Yes, as Trump puts it, the haters,

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the liars, the fake news, all of that with success,

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>with results. The economy already is and you see it

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>with all these different metrics, and you've got titans of

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>industry and many of the smartest people on Wall Street,

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>in manufacturing sector, in the entrepreneurial world. They're all saying, look,

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't even like Trump. I don't even like Trump's

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>policies on X, Y or z outside of the economy. Right,

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe they disagree with them on this or that, but

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:48.679
<v Speaker 1>on but when it comes to economic optimism and the

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>markets and hiring and wages, and which was also central,

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>all of that was central to the Trump message, which

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>is that the you know, the forgotten men and women

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of this country in these differ sectors, competing with offshoring

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>of jobs, competing with the importation of cheap illegal foreign labor.

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>All of that, stagnant wages and a sense that you

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>can't get ahead. Trump is so far following through on

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 1>those promises and doing it with results, not just words,

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>not just a lot of you know, a lot of

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>jaw jaw, a lot of you know yadida talking about stuff. No,

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump is making it happen. This is why I don't

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>get to spun up. I don't get we used to

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>say people would say the bureaucracy, you know, it gives

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>me heartburn, um, but I don't get over uh over anxious.

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't get upset. I don't get wrapped around the

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.199
<v Speaker 1>axle when Trump tweets something that I'm like, well, I

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>don't really know what he's I wouldn't have done that.

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And also, all

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>these people who have been so desperate to make you

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.320
<v Speaker 1>think that it matters in the media and elsewhere. Maybe

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.839
<v Speaker 1>they're your neighbors, maybe they're people see at work or

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the people you see on TV. They're wrong. They've been

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>wrong so far, and it's one of the reasons that

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I think we've we've begun to see a phenomenon that

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>will continue to play out, which is that the more

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>this is crazy, I know, but just stay with me

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 1>on it, the more successful this presidency is. And I

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 1>don't mean in rhetorical terms. I don't mean in slapping

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>down the fake news, as much as I love that,

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 1>and it is a fantastic spectator sport, and I try

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>to do my fair share of bucks slaps here as well.

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I try to, you know, make sure that we hold

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 1>these different media entities to account and give them a

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 1>free ride on the school bus once in a while.

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 1>But the more successful Trump is, the more they will

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>hate him. Because the more successful he is, the more

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>obvious it becomes to anybody who has had any doubts

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that they've been lying about this administration. They've been stacking

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the deck against him. They've been doing everything in their

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 1>power to prevent the very successes that are just beginning,

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>just beginning to become irrefutable, strong market, strong economy regular

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna talk to you about regulations later in the show.

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 1>People are becoming believers, you know, And it's kind of

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 1>amazing that it's taken this long in a sense, because

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the regulatory environment of the obamaministration was in. You're gonna

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 1>talk about insanity. It was insane. And you know, whether

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>you agree with Trump or not, whether you know, whether

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you're somebody that likes the tweeting hates the tweeting. If

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to run a small business and all of

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>a sudden you don't have to spend dozens of hours

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and thousands or tens of thousands of dollars complying with

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:51.839
<v Speaker 1>with completely bizarre, useless owners federal regulations, you start to think,

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.959
<v Speaker 1>maybe this Trump guys onto something, Maybe he's got something

0:11:55.000 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 1>going here. It is all about results, it's all about

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 1>doing things that benefit the American people. And what as

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I said, it will be amazing to watch it play

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.079
<v Speaker 1>out because the bed the more successful Trump is, the

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>louder they'll squream about Russia, the louder they will yell

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>about how he's needs to be taken out of office

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.199
<v Speaker 1>by the twenty five amendment. I mean, they won't quit,

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>they will not stop. And that's why the only response

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 1>that Trump can and will have is the courage of

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>his convictions and the implementation of an agenda that we're

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>already saying it is already working. But immigration, immigration, is key,

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and we can't take the pressure off, can't take the

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>heat off here, presidents at a wall today, I'm hearing

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 1>things about a wall in you know, within ten years

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>we'll have a seven miles Okay, I mean, let's let's

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.599
<v Speaker 1>get the first hundred on the books. A S A P.

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't want this to be Yeah, we're

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a wall, but by the time we have

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.199
<v Speaker 1>a wall, everybody's gonna have a jet pack, because then

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a wall won't won't really be that useful. You know.

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>If it's like the future of the jetsins where people

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 1>can fly around and little flying cars or jet packs

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 1>or whatever they've got everywhere, a wall is not gonna

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 1>be as good. Okay, we can't wait fifty years for

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 1>a wall. Need a wall to start now, so we'll

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:18.320
<v Speaker 1>talk more about that. And also the most I can't

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 1>even say it. It's tough with superlatives because the left

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 1>is so dishonest, unfair and crazy, particularly when it comes

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.319
<v Speaker 1>to dealing with this White House and dealing with the

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party right now, that to say it's the craziest

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 1>judicial decision ever or the craziest judicial decision ever under Trump,

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm not sure, but it's close. It's close

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>to the worst court decisions mandating a federal judge in

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>California has been. This just came out today I read.

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.679
<v Speaker 1>The first thing I did this morning is probably why

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I threw my neck out. I was so annoyed I

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>did of my neck is killing me right now. But

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>first thing I did today, and I like a lie,

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I did it in better read through on my phone

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 1>forty nine pages of a decision from a circuit court

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:06.040
<v Speaker 1>judge in California, where the short version I'll get into

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a longer version with you in a few minutes because

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>it's worth exploring at But the short word version is

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 1>one judge thinks that he can usurp the executive branch

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>chiefs prerogative can essentially tell him how to use his discretion.

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Some judge in California is telling Trump this is your call,

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and this is how you're gonna make the call when

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>it comes to immigration, specifically to DACA. I'll work, I'll

0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>talk you through, we'll go through the details. It's important

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>at all. But it's just hashtag resistance, resistance. Pardon me,

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 1>hashtag resistance, never Trump nonsense from yet another judge out

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 1>on the left coast. We'll get into that packed show today.

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 1>My friends a lot I want to talk to you about,

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>but also want to hear from you two of course

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>eight four or four to eight to five, eight four

0:14:54.360 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>four nine, Buck, I'll be right back their instances. Look

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>at what happened in Israel. They put up the wall.

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>They sailed solved the very major problem. We need the wall.

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>We have to have the wall for security purposes, securities

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>number one, and so the answers have to have the wall.

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. I have to have the wall, Presidents, making

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>it very clear, Bucks accent back with you here on

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the Buck Sexton Show. We wanted to take some of

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 1>your calls before we get our next guest coming up.

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Who's going to be the acting Director of Immigrations and

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Customs Enforcement. We got him joining us on the show.

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Director Homan will be with us, Thomas Homan, and can

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>tell us about what's the reality right now of illegal

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 1>immigrants crossing into the country, crossings in the country, also

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 1>workplace enforcement, a bunch of raids at seven elevens across

0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the country. We got the guy at the top of

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Agency of the United States

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>to join us here in just a few minutes to

0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>address that. So he'll give us a real view of

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>what's what's the ground truth of all this, right, what's

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>really happening out there, so we can factor that in

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>when we're talking about Trump and immigration everything's doing. But

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 1>he noted there with Israel that that also came from

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 1>a press con or some questions with the press were

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 1>able to pose earlier today. And yeah, Israel, I mean

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I remembered I was actually spending a lot of time

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.600
<v Speaker 1>studying Israel and Israeli Palestinian issues at the time I

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>was in school, but I had I've been working at

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a Midi stink tank and working on that issue specifically

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>was very much front of mind. And Israel had a

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>terrible time with suicide bombers and other Palestinian terrorists who

0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>were coming in the country and just wreaking havoc and carnage,

0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and it was terrible. They built a wall and it

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>stopped it just And I'm not saying that was the

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 1>only thing. Israel has a tremendous security service beyond just

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the wall, right, But no one saying the wall would

0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 1>be the only thing either, But it helped whole hell

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 1>of a lot. We'll talk to our acting Immigrations and

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Customs Enforcement head in just a few moments here, so

<v Speaker 1>You know you know I can tell you this. I

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 1>actually I actually built that show intro myself. I'm serious. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much. Thank you and appreciate it. Bye bye. Um.

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:08.160
<v Speaker 1>So there we have it. Uh, we've got like I said,

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk more about immigration. What is the state

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 1>of legal immigration into the country right now? Can we

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 1>enforce certain aspects of the law. Well, the answers yes, obviously,

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 1>much better than we do. I've also got this decision

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 1>from a court out in California. I read through. I

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.119
<v Speaker 1>don't know how many other hosts on TV or radio

0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>could say this, but I read through the entire thing

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 1>because I do my own stuff. I read it all.

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:36.159
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you about it. It is. It is a giant, steaming,

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 1>tri Sarah Tops sized pile of poop. It is terrible.

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:45.400
<v Speaker 1>It is the worst legal analysis you will see out

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.199
<v Speaker 1>of California in a long time. We'll get into that,

0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 1>so stay with Themigoration top of the news cycle today,

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and we're very fortunate to be joined by Acting ICE

0:19:55.880 --> 0:20:00.679
<v Speaker 1>Director Thomas Holman, who is with us now on the line. Thomas,

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:02.919
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for calling in. Thank you for

0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 1>having me, sir. Uh First, all right, talk to me

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 1>a bit about your your reaction to this court ruling

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that's just effectively telling the Trump administration that they have

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to act a certain way when it comes to presidential discretion. Look,

0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 1>there's there's so many liberal court rulings out there right

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 1>now that hamper what we're trying to do. I mean,

0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.159
<v Speaker 1>I got court ruins out there that don't let me

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 1>remove people that committed serious crimes to this country. I

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:32.960
<v Speaker 1>got court rulings that tell me how long I can

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 1>detain somebody. I mean, this is when when this whole

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 1>docutor session discussion started, we sent a list of policy

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.919
<v Speaker 1>and legislative changes up on the hill. There can't be

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a clean doctor, but we need fixed. We need to

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 1>fix this system or we're gonna have a doctor discussion

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>ten years from now. Let's finally fix this system, overturn

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>some of these judicial decisions, and and make sense of

0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing. Use the analogy at a few minutes

0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.320
<v Speaker 1>going on another interview. You know, if you got a

0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.239
<v Speaker 1>leaky tire, you can put air in that tire every day.

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 1>You can fix the tire. Let's fix this tire. Let's

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:04.520
<v Speaker 1>finally fix immigration. This president, under his leadership, we got

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:06.680
<v Speaker 1>we had a forty five year LOLd and the illegal

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:10.920
<v Speaker 1>immigration crossings. We're on the right trail. Let us, let

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 1>us fix us. Let us make these changes to fix

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the problem once for for all. So you know, if

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you want to have a doctor deal, then you've got

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to fix underlying problems with We can't do a clean

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 1>doctor deal that. We we need a wall, we need

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 1>inter your enforcement. We need to be able to remove

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 1>people that violate the loss this country. We need some

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.800
<v Speaker 1>of these court decisions overturned. We need to be able

0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.199
<v Speaker 1>to do our job and protect this country. Tell me

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 1>about these UH, you're the acting Director of Immigrations and

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Customs Enforcement. What were these raids? What happened? Here's some

0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>reporting today about seven elevens nationwide UH targeted in anti

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:48.359
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigration employment rates. Well, like I said, when I

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>became a director, I gave a commitment, we're gonna we're

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:54.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna step up work site enforcement. It's against the law

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to her and he go ailing to work. UH. And

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 1>it's as an as an enticement to for the immigration people.

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:01.080
<v Speaker 1>You know they're going to if they're lucky enough to

0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>get by the bordatrow. They're come here to work. They're

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 1>coming here to make money, they're coming here to be

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.159
<v Speaker 1>with family. We got to take that magnet away. Is

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>against the law of heart illegal amilies. That we're going

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to force a law that for increase in those investigations

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.359
<v Speaker 1>this year. This is a nationwide investigation. We're gonna hit

0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:18.360
<v Speaker 1>small companies, gonna hit big companies, go minium sized companies.

0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 1>We're going to enforce law. We need to. We need

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 1>to remove that magnet that just infices more illegal immigration,

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:26.200
<v Speaker 1>more people guy could try to come to this country

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.639
<v Speaker 1>and work more BORD relations. We put at risk, more

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:31.240
<v Speaker 1>of my officers put at risk for immigration. This is

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 1>one piece of the puzzle that we have to fix

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.760
<v Speaker 1>to to really fix the border problem and secure that border.

0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Director Holman, is the Trump administration committed to e verify

0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 1>as part of the package for this immigration negotiation currently,

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 1>and what can you tell us about the effectiveness of

0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:49.399
<v Speaker 1>e verifying? Well, look, I I know that part of

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 1>our policy request. You know, there's a store A few

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago, you know, myself to Bord Patrol at CBP

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and CIS got together and we put a list of

0:22:57.680 --> 0:23:00.919
<v Speaker 1>policy objectives and legislative jet because we sent them up

0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:02.919
<v Speaker 1>to the Hill in their discussions on DOCUCN and these

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 1>are things we need to fix the system with. And

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 1>there's a story that I think came from the White Houses. No, No,

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.320
<v Speaker 1>this coming from career law enforce and officers. I've been

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:12.159
<v Speaker 1>doing this thirty four years. This was my list, this

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>was the head of the CPPs list. We sent these

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:16.000
<v Speaker 1>up there and he verifies one of them. Look, you

0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 1>verify does work and and it should be required. So

0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going to what they're going to

0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:22.480
<v Speaker 1>be side up in hill again. I'm a law enforce

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and agency. I'm going to enforce Laws A and Act,

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:28.639
<v Speaker 1>and I'll stopping forcing Laws A repeal. But I'm hoping

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:33.199
<v Speaker 1>that everybody agrees im illegal immigration is a problem. We

0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:36.399
<v Speaker 1>have three career law enforcing officers who've told you what

0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the loopholes are, where the shortages are, what we can

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:42.720
<v Speaker 1>fix to end this. I hope they take it seriously

0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and fix this once and for all. I was I

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:47.640
<v Speaker 1>was here in during the last ark in the amnesty

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 1>and then they promised, you know, serious worksite enforcement then,

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:53.080
<v Speaker 1>but we never got the resources the authorities to do it.

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 1>We're saying right now, we're talking about any discussion on DOCTA,

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's have a serious discussion how we fix this problem

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 1>once and for all. And that what we sent up there,

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and he verified was on a list of things were

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:04.639
<v Speaker 1>sent up there we wanted to consider. We're speaking to

0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Acting Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Holman. Director Director

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Holman tell me about the current state of illegal crossings,

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>because in the New York Times just put out a

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.879
<v Speaker 1>peace saying that, well, here's a quote. Shelters along the

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.720
<v Speaker 1>southern border are filling up. Immigration lawyers in the regions

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.719
<v Speaker 1>say caseloads are spiking and across the southwest border officers

0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:29.679
<v Speaker 1>are stopping more than a thousand people a day. Is

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:32.720
<v Speaker 1>there a surge right now? What's going on the numbers

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:35.479
<v Speaker 1>of family First of all, the overall numbers are down,

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.160
<v Speaker 1>but there is an increased recent increase in the number

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 1>of family units and on the company children. And there's

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 1>a reason for that. You know. Again, we have asked

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:45.119
<v Speaker 1>for changes in a lot of t v p R

0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:48.160
<v Speaker 1>as a Trafficking Vitnam Protection actors. I think it's from

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight, is followed the Homeland Security built

0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:53.200
<v Speaker 1>two thousand two and if if if you're on a

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 1>company child under the a j T and you are,

0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:58.400
<v Speaker 1>you're if you're from Excre Canada. Once we determined you're

0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 1>not a victim of trafficking, we can remove them to

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:03.840
<v Speaker 1>these countries. However, the t v p r A makes

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it impossible us to remove children to like Central America, Honduras, Salvador, Guatemala,

0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:11.960
<v Speaker 1>where most of these kids are coming from. So that's

0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:13.359
<v Speaker 1>one of the things we sent to the healthy We

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>show fix the t v p R A it's being abused.

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>It had a good intention, but it's being abused in

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.439
<v Speaker 1>the loopholes in that system. These kids want they get

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 1>released to a parent or sponsor. They're in to win.

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>And if they do show up in court, which many

0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:28.880
<v Speaker 1>of them don't, uh, they get a court or they're

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:30.400
<v Speaker 1>not going to leave, they're going to win. So we're

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 1>asking for changes in that legislation to help. When once

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 1>we get those changes, you're going to see those numbers

0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:38.440
<v Speaker 1>drop significantly. As far as the family units, that's another

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 1>court decision. That's another decision on the Ninth Circuit, and

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 1>in the floor's decision settle my agreement, where they're telling

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 1>us we can only hold these family units for a

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:50.000
<v Speaker 1>certain period of time, less than three weeks. Well, look,

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:52.440
<v Speaker 1>if you're an illegal Amian family, you're coming to Central

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:54.159
<v Speaker 1>America to come to the United States. If you know

0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:56.240
<v Speaker 1>you can come, get arrest, turn yourself over, get arrest

0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 1>and putting a facility for two weeks and get fed,

0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, three meals a day, get your vaccinations, get

0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 1>your physicals. Don't need to be released in the community.

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:05.920
<v Speaker 1>That's just a part of them doing business that you

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.320
<v Speaker 1>know they're gonna keep coming so we've asked for a

0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 1>change in that lit in that judicial decision, so we

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:15.200
<v Speaker 1>can hold these people, we remove people, we detain once

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 1>you to release somebody, you know, we don't need they're

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:22.360
<v Speaker 1>going to win. So those two instances, the two populations

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:25.680
<v Speaker 1>you see a rise in the border are specifically in

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 1>response to bad court decisions and bad policy. That we've

0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:31.639
<v Speaker 1>asked Commerce to look at both of these things and

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 1>change them as soon as they can. One more for

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:36.879
<v Speaker 1>your director. There's a lot of debate right now about

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the wall, the President said today and no uncertain terms

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:42.720
<v Speaker 1>of wall would have to be part of a package

0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to addressing immigration from a legislative perspective.

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Just tell me this. You are currently overseeing thousands of

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 1>agents from Immigrations and Customs enforcement. When you speak to

0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the guys and men and women on the front lines

0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 1>here of enforcement, are they convinced the wall is a

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:03.399
<v Speaker 1>good idea? Are you convinced that the wall is a

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:05.840
<v Speaker 1>good idea? Because the media acts like a wall won't

0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:08.080
<v Speaker 1>do anything, And I look around, I'm like, the history

0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:10.040
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of walls that did a lot. Look

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I I started my career in a Bordertrow.

0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of Bardastrow agents, and and of

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>course I have my own hece agents. I can tell

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you fron own personal experience. I started my career in

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:21.359
<v Speaker 1>a Boardertrow. I I was in the San Diego sector

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:26.119
<v Speaker 1>back in eighty six, and we were catching thousands of

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:28.600
<v Speaker 1>illegal aliens per shift down there in the soccer fields.

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 1>It's out of control. As soon as they put a

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:34.080
<v Speaker 1>wall up, a barrier up, the numbers plummeted. Every place

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:36.840
<v Speaker 1>they put that wall, whether San Diego, l Pass or

0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 1>some places in Huma. Every place they built the wall,

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:44.560
<v Speaker 1>it was extremely successful. And you know what, during the

0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 1>More Securities Act, it was a byparison, bipartisan support. Everybody's

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 1>supported building this wall. So why would we not This

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 1>has been successful in every place we put it. Why

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:57.159
<v Speaker 1>would we not want the wall to protect public safety,

0:27:57.280 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 1>nascal security? What price are you gonna put on that?

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 1>So for those people that want to attack the wall,

0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:05.280
<v Speaker 1>it's worked. Every place that put up, it's proven. It's

0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:07.639
<v Speaker 1>got to come with other technologies and resource and stuff,

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, and but the wall works. I support the wall.

0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Like we had a forty five year decline in illegal crossings.

0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 1>This year. But everybody. So they don't need the wall. No,

0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:19.800
<v Speaker 1>because there's still people are gonna come to this country

0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>forty five uh percent to clients. Still there's still thousands

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 1>of people coming in. We need the wall. It's worked,

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 1>let's do it, let's put let's what price you're gonna

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 1>put on the security of this country. This president came

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:35.200
<v Speaker 1>in here, he wants the wall. I support that he's done.

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 1>He's this president. I've worked for six different presidents. This

0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 1>president has done more for border security in public safety

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>than any of the six presidents I've worked for. I've

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:46.680
<v Speaker 1>been forcing immigration lall for thirty four years, and this

0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 1>this president, President Trump, has done more for the men

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and women of Bord Patrol, for the men and women

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 1>of Ice, and for the citizens of this country and

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 1>border security than any president I've ever worked for. Let's

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:02.880
<v Speaker 1>find all this plan, let's get it fixed. Acting Immigrations

0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan, Director Holman. Great to

0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:07.880
<v Speaker 1>have you, Thank you so much, and come back soon.

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, sir. H Team. We're going to roll into

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:13.080
<v Speaker 1>a break. We've got a lot more to talk about today,

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>including the latest on immigration, Russia collusion investigation, regulation, I'm

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you some stories about regulation later on that

0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>are going to make your head spin. We're gonna break

0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>it down into some real world a real world example

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 1>of just how crazy regulation is in this country and

0:29:30.200 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 1>why it's so important that President Trump is in fact

0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 1>peeling them back and taking all of these ropes and

0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:42.800
<v Speaker 1>constraints off of American businesses and American entrepreneurs. So we've

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:45.880
<v Speaker 1>got that a much more coming up eight f eight

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to five will be right back. Does this get in

0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the administration's way of immigration reform. I don't think so.

0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we are very disappointed by the decision, but

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:58.120
<v Speaker 1>what we heard yesterday at the meeting was we're all

0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:01.360
<v Speaker 1>committed to finding a deal. So a permanent solution is

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 1>actually to the benefit of all the current DACA recipients,

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and that's what we'll pursue. Were those talks as productive

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:11.040
<v Speaker 1>as they appeared to all of us who were let

0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 1>into that room with the TV cameras rolling, Yes, I

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 1>think so. I'm very optimistic. We left with a clear

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:20.680
<v Speaker 1>path forward. We agreed on the four pillars components of

0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>a deal. I'm very encouraged by what we did yesterday

0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and look forward to continuing to meet with our colleagues

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.280
<v Speaker 1>on the Hill day to day and so we get

0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 1>this done. That was Secretary of Homeland Security kirshtin Nielsen

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:39.240
<v Speaker 1>earlier today on DOCCA and the negotiations around it. Look,

0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 1>DOCCA is something that sounds like it might be a

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:45.400
<v Speaker 1>good bargaining chip, and then you get into what the

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:48.760
<v Speaker 1>long term implications are or even really just the real

0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 1>implications of DOCCA, and you're gonna have some some big problems.

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>But we'll we'll get back into that in a moment.

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I first wanted to spend some time setting up, uh,

0:31:00.440 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 1>this insane, absolutely crazy order from a judge in California. Anytime,

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say that on the show right there. So

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 1>there's this judge in California who decided to get his

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 1>hashtag resistance points up on the board. And in this case,

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:25.440
<v Speaker 1>it's about this is from the Northern District of California decision.

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 1>This is a preliminary injunction, mind you, but the injunction

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:33.280
<v Speaker 1>is from this judge saying that across think about this,

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 1>one federal judge says across the country, the Trump administration

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 1>now has to has to implement deferred action for childhood

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 1>arrivals doctor across the country. One judge the case is

0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the regents of the University of California and Janet Apolitano. Ay,

0:31:55.440 --> 0:32:00.120
<v Speaker 1>it's it's big sis, Nepolitano. I'm back. I un to

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:05.720
<v Speaker 1>be the Secretary of Homeland Security and now here I

0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>am running to California school system bringing a suit against

0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration. Big stas. So she's part of this

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:23.320
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit against the home against her a former agency department

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Homeland Security. Isn't that? Isn't that what you call iron nick? Uh?

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 1>You've got Kirsten Nielsen and we just played there named

0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:34.720
<v Speaker 1>as the defendant here just because she runs DHS. And

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 1>here's the basic the basic argument of the plaintiffs here

0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:44.320
<v Speaker 1>that there are some people covered under DACA in California.

0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 1>There's some other states that also signed onto this two,

0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 1>but we'll just focus on California because why not just

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>beat up on California. Uh, there's some there are some

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:58.240
<v Speaker 1>people who are covered under DACA who are students or faculty, etcetera,

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 1>etcetera at the University of californ in your school system,

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>which is which is vast and they're saying that this

0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 1>is it is unfair for Trump or in this case,

0:33:10.680 --> 0:33:14.959
<v Speaker 1>it is it is illegal for Trump and the Department

0:33:15.000 --> 0:33:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Homeland Security of the Executive Branch not to continue to

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:29.320
<v Speaker 1>give DOCCA protection to these individuals because it's necessary for

0:33:29.440 --> 0:33:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the because they're doing good things. I mean, I'm gonna

0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 1>try to walk to the argument really makes no sense,

0:33:33.560 --> 0:33:37.000
<v Speaker 1>but I'll try to give you what they're saying. What

0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 1>they're really saying is this plaintiffs group from the Department

0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 1>of or the regions of the University California and big

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 1>sister a Politano Hello, hey uh and then DHS. What

0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 1>they're saying is DOCCA is good for people that work

0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:57.800
<v Speaker 1>or go to the California school system. Therefore, for due

0:33:57.840 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 1>process reasons, you can take away what's good for them,

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:05.560
<v Speaker 1>because because it hurts us, it puts us at a

0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 1>at a disadvantage because we need these DOCCA people so

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 1>badly we're now working for or going I think it's

0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:16.520
<v Speaker 1>primarily for some of the employees. But and this can

0:34:16.600 --> 0:34:19.719
<v Speaker 1>get there's a very complicated version of this case and

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:22.640
<v Speaker 1>a very simple version of this case. I think I

0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>just made a clear deal with the simple version. First

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:27.880
<v Speaker 1>simple version is this it's illegal for illegals to be

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:32.759
<v Speaker 1>in the country. The Obama administration decided that under the

0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:41.480
<v Speaker 1>notion of prosecutorial authority, a prosecutory discretion. Rather under prosecutorial discretion,

0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 1>they were gonna say, hey, you can stay here, and oh,

0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 1>by the way, that also means you can work, you

0:34:47.719 --> 0:34:51.879
<v Speaker 1>can get work permits while you're here. And it's really

0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:55.800
<v Speaker 1>an abusive prosecutorial discretion because there is. And this is

0:34:55.880 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 1>why the DAPPA program. And I know we're getting a

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:02.240
<v Speaker 1>little in the eats here, but it's important. Deferred action

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:07.480
<v Speaker 1>of parental right, or deferred action for parents of arrivals whatever. DAPPA,

0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the parents of the DACA covered individuals, which is the

0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:14.520
<v Speaker 1>so called dreamers. I don't like using that term because

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:19.080
<v Speaker 1>it's obviously it's it's obviously meant to influence the discussion

0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 1>just by using it. Right there, Dreamers, they're just dreaming

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 1>about a better place, a better America, right, I mean, no,

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:26.799
<v Speaker 1>there're people that want to be in the country because

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:29.400
<v Speaker 1>America is the best country with the best economy, etcetera, etcetera.

0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Who and who are not legally allowed to be here.

0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:37.960
<v Speaker 1>They're dreamers. Oh, but the the Obama aministration decided to

0:35:38.000 --> 0:35:41.280
<v Speaker 1>do that, and the Trump administration came in and said,

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:45.800
<v Speaker 1>hold on a second, Uh, we don't want to continue

0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:49.520
<v Speaker 1>to do that. We mean, the executive branch are not

0:35:49.719 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 1>going to use our discretion in that way. Therefore, these

0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:59.600
<v Speaker 1>doctor protections will not continue. And what the what this

0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:03.799
<v Speaker 1>one and judge a Clinton appointee, No, no surprise there.

0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 1>What this one judge came out with today was sorry,

0:36:08.320 --> 0:36:11.960
<v Speaker 1>you have to use your discretion in that way. Now,

0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:16.239
<v Speaker 1>to put it mildly and simply, that's not the judge's call.

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 1>The judge is not in a position to make that call.

0:36:19.880 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 1>This is not up to this judge. The judge is

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:28.319
<v Speaker 1>going way beyond his authority. But as we saw with uh,

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:31.440
<v Speaker 1>that federal judge in Hawaii and the Ninth Circuit, this

0:36:31.560 --> 0:36:34.640
<v Speaker 1>fifth Circuit than the Ninth Circuit, Oh, I'm sorry, no,

0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:37.080
<v Speaker 1>this Ninth Circuit too. Um, as we saw with the

0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:41.400
<v Speaker 1>judge out in Hawaii, though, who the Supreme Court had

0:36:41.440 --> 0:36:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to slap down. You don't get to decide that you

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:46.719
<v Speaker 1>don't like Trump as a judge and you're just gonna

0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:50.799
<v Speaker 1>overrule federal government policy because you don't like Trump. That's

0:36:50.800 --> 0:36:53.400
<v Speaker 1>not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 1>And this decision from this judge in Northern California is

0:36:58.080 --> 0:37:03.759
<v Speaker 1>just another instance of legislating from the bench hashtag resistance

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:09.200
<v Speaker 1>judges coming out and ignoring what the law says because

0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:13.040
<v Speaker 1>they have a policy preference. In this case, this judge

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:14.680
<v Speaker 1>knows you're gonna be a hero in the state of

0:37:14.760 --> 0:37:17.840
<v Speaker 1>California to a whole lot of people if you write

0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the law or you make the law up as you

0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:25.719
<v Speaker 1>go along to insist on DOCTA protections. It's very straightforward.

0:37:25.760 --> 0:37:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Though the judge does not have the authority to do this.

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:32.640
<v Speaker 1>This would be the equivalent, okay of a judge. It

0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:36.320
<v Speaker 1>really is the equivalent of a judge saying, um, okay,

0:37:36.520 --> 0:37:42.359
<v Speaker 1>this federal prosecutor chose not to press charges on this case,

0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and then another federal prosecutor would come along and the

0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:48.520
<v Speaker 1>same the same jurisdiction and say no, no, I'm actually

0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:51.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna bring charges. And then the judge is, sorry, you

0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:55.960
<v Speaker 1>can't do that. Why not. It's it's the under the

0:37:56.000 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 1>discretion of the prosecutorial wing of the Justice Department. It's

0:37:59.480 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 1>not about whether. But the judge says, well, I don't

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:04.239
<v Speaker 1>like it. Well, we'll talk about more of this coming

0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:07.800
<v Speaker 1>up this morning. And welcome to our first cabinet meeting

0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 1>of the new year was a year of tremendous achievement,

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 1>monumental achievement. Actually, I don't think any administration has ever

0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:21.440
<v Speaker 1>done has done what we've done and what we've accomplished

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:26.880
<v Speaker 1>in its first year, which isn't quite finished yet. You

0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:29.200
<v Speaker 1>never know what's going to happen over the next few days.

0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. President Trump talking

0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:38.479
<v Speaker 1>about the achievements of Seen, and I've certainly been trying

0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:42.440
<v Speaker 1>to highlight them on this show because a lot of shows,

0:38:42.640 --> 0:38:44.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of media won't do that. They'll tell you

0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:48.759
<v Speaker 1>about Trump is Trump, is this, He's that, He's seeing

0:38:48.840 --> 0:38:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Ailie's crazy, He's even whatever. In fact, Seen on a

0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 1>policy basis was pretty darn good. Tax cuts are gonna

0:38:56.120 --> 0:39:00.480
<v Speaker 1>be great, already having really positive impact on the economy,

0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:02.799
<v Speaker 1>and I think we're in for a whole lot more.

0:39:02.920 --> 0:39:09.120
<v Speaker 1>But one of the things that happened in UH that

0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:12.440
<v Speaker 1>gets some attention but not nearly enough, has to do

0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:17.880
<v Speaker 1>with regulations, has to do with getting rid of the

0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:25.040
<v Speaker 1>red tape. And it has been tremendous for the for

0:39:25.400 --> 0:39:28.040
<v Speaker 1>this country, for the economy. And this is directly in

0:39:28.200 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump Sands. This is one of the executive branch success

0:39:31.680 --> 0:39:33.920
<v Speaker 1>is one of the victories. And this is a victory

0:39:34.120 --> 0:39:38.840
<v Speaker 1>for conservatives, for limited government and for the whole country,

0:39:38.880 --> 0:39:42.200
<v Speaker 1>even the people who hate it and hate Trump making

0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:44.360
<v Speaker 1>things better for them whether they whether they like it

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:48.160
<v Speaker 1>or not. The President is helping them out with his

0:39:48.239 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 1>approach to regular federal regulations. Because federal regulations have gotten

0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:59.920
<v Speaker 1>completely out of control. And there's even a term term

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:05.320
<v Speaker 1>of art for this, now, regulatory fatigue or do you

0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:12.080
<v Speaker 1>have regulatory fatigue, sir, Yes, I'm quite tired. Regulatory fatigue

0:40:12.160 --> 0:40:16.319
<v Speaker 1>is when the regulations just pile up way, way too high. Now,

0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:20.000
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of a conversation that could have a

0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:21.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of jargon. I could give you the numbers, I mean,

0:40:21.880 --> 0:40:24.759
<v Speaker 1>the numbers of Obama was just trying to build the

0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Mount Olympus of regulations. I mean, just regulations up to

0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the sky, up to the moon, as far as the

0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:34.319
<v Speaker 1>eye can see in further right, more regulations, the better.

0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:40.880
<v Speaker 1>A hyperactive federal regulatory body is what the Democrat party

0:40:40.960 --> 0:40:43.400
<v Speaker 1>wants in this country. It's what Obama wanted, It's what

0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton would have wanted. How if she were president

0:40:47.520 --> 0:40:51.279
<v Speaker 1>United States? Why? Because it's at the heart of state

0:40:51.400 --> 0:40:53.800
<v Speaker 1>is um. People that want the state to be in

0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:58.239
<v Speaker 1>control love regulation because it fits right in with their

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:03.400
<v Speaker 1>overall idea of governance, which is that people should be

0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:07.279
<v Speaker 1>told what to do by quote experts, and by that

0:41:07.400 --> 0:41:13.520
<v Speaker 1>they really mean usually slothful bureaucrats, but experts in every

0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:15.720
<v Speaker 1>aspect of their day to day life. There is nothing

0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 1>for for a true progressive Democrat. There is nothing that

0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 1>is beyond the purview of the state when it comes

0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 1>to dictating behavior, uh, dictating your approach to everything in

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:33.560
<v Speaker 1>your day to day life, decisions that you make, micro

0:41:33.840 --> 0:41:39.759
<v Speaker 1>managed down to the most minute level. And it's no exaggeration.

0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Let me give you an example here. What would be

0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:48.400
<v Speaker 1>a an American pastime? What would be an American business

0:41:48.480 --> 0:41:52.240
<v Speaker 1>that you would think everyone could agree that the federal

0:41:52.280 --> 0:41:57.399
<v Speaker 1>government could take a relatively light touch in regulating, right,

0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:00.560
<v Speaker 1>what's a one one thing about come to mind? Will

0:42:00.560 --> 0:42:03.319
<v Speaker 1>be a lemonade stand? And sure enough, there are stories about,

0:42:03.360 --> 0:42:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, a little eight year old girls running a

0:42:05.239 --> 0:42:08.719
<v Speaker 1>lemonade stand, and the local you know, better business commerce

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:11.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever regulators come over and say, do you'll have a permit?

0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Young lady? Now you know they kick her off the street,

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:18.719
<v Speaker 1>competing on fairly with local lemonade businesses, right, I mean,

0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:20.279
<v Speaker 1>but but I've got a I've got a better one

0:42:20.360 --> 0:42:23.239
<v Speaker 1>for you, or or I've got a specific one. And

0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:25.279
<v Speaker 1>it actually comes from a courtesy of The New York

0:42:25.280 --> 0:42:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Times from a few weeks ago. I don't think this

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:29.279
<v Speaker 1>got very much attention. One of the things I love

0:42:29.320 --> 0:42:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to do here in the Freedom Hunt is bring stories

0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to your attention that aren't just that. You know, the headline,

0:42:36.280 --> 0:42:40.960
<v Speaker 1>the biggest headline on Fox News dot com, Drudge sometimes CNN,

0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:43.680
<v Speaker 1>although CNN is just one long it's really now just

0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:47.200
<v Speaker 1>turned into one long blog about the Russia collusion investigation.

0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:49.920
<v Speaker 1>That's what CNN dot comms. But here's this piece of

0:42:50.000 --> 0:42:55.880
<v Speaker 1>your Times apple picking. How complicated? How complex could apple

0:42:55.920 --> 0:43:01.320
<v Speaker 1>picking really be? And how much could federal regulation really

0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:06.920
<v Speaker 1>hamper the business of letting people pay some money to

0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:10.440
<v Speaker 1>grab some apples on their own beautiful fall day. It's

0:43:10.480 --> 0:43:12.000
<v Speaker 1>big out here. I know some parts of the country

0:43:12.200 --> 0:43:14.040
<v Speaker 1>probably don't have much of this, but you know, out

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:15.960
<v Speaker 1>here on the East Coast, in the Northeast, you got

0:43:16.000 --> 0:43:19.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this going on. So here's what The

0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:24.200
<v Speaker 1>New York Times wrote on this quote for eight weeks.

0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Every fall, Indian Ladder Farms, a fifth generation family operation

0:43:29.440 --> 0:43:35.040
<v Speaker 1>near Albany, kicks into peak season. The farm cells homemade

0:43:35.080 --> 0:43:40.160
<v Speaker 1>apple pies, fresh cider, and warm doughnuts. School Children arrived

0:43:40.200 --> 0:43:43.680
<v Speaker 1>by the bus load to learn about growing apples, and

0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:47.680
<v Speaker 1>as customers pick fruit from trees, workers fill bins with

0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:53.399
<v Speaker 1>apples destined for the farm's shop and grocery stores. This fall,

0:43:53.520 --> 0:43:57.320
<v Speaker 1>amid the rush of commerce, the apple harvest season accounts

0:43:57.400 --> 0:44:03.200
<v Speaker 1>for about half of Indian ladders annual revenue. Federal investigators

0:44:03.600 --> 0:44:08.320
<v Speaker 1>showed up. They wanted to check the farm's compliance with

0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:13.239
<v Speaker 1>migrant labor rules and the Fair Labor Standards Act, which

0:44:13.360 --> 0:44:18.440
<v Speaker 1>sets pay and other requirements for workers. Suddenly, the small

0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:22.759
<v Speaker 1>office staff turned its focus away from making money to

0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:27.880
<v Speaker 1>play cating a government regulator. The investigators arrived on a

0:44:28.000 --> 0:44:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Friday in late September and interviewed the farm's management and

0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:36.320
<v Speaker 1>a group of laborers from Jamaica who have special work visas.

0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:40.879
<v Speaker 1>The investigators hand delivered a notice and said they would

0:44:40.920 --> 0:44:44.600
<v Speaker 1>be back the following week when they asked to have

0:44:45.160 --> 0:44:52.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty two types of records available. The request included vehicle registrations,

0:44:52.360 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 1>insurance documents and time sheets, reams of paper in all

0:44:57.680 --> 0:45:02.960
<v Speaker 1>over the next several days, the ten Ike family, which

0:45:03.040 --> 0:45:07.480
<v Speaker 1>owns the farm, along with the staff, devoted about forty

0:45:07.760 --> 0:45:12.320
<v Speaker 1>hours to serving the investigators, who visited three times before

0:45:12.440 --> 0:45:17.279
<v Speaker 1>closing the books. It is terribly disruptive, said Peter tan Ike,

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:19.799
<v Speaker 1>who runs the farm along with his daughter and son.

0:45:20.440 --> 0:45:24.279
<v Speaker 1>And the dimension that doesn't get mentioned is the psychological hit.

0:45:25.200 --> 0:45:29.360
<v Speaker 1>They are there to find something wrong with you, and

0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:35.120
<v Speaker 1>then they are going to find you end quote. H.

0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:39.040
<v Speaker 1>This is a This is a great example of how

0:45:39.400 --> 0:45:43.319
<v Speaker 1>terrible some of the federal regulations in this country really are.

0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this really brings it home. I think you

0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:49.880
<v Speaker 1>got a business in its peaks. It's a very seasonal business,

0:45:49.920 --> 0:45:52.880
<v Speaker 1>apple picking, not a lot of apple picking. I'm a native,

0:45:53.000 --> 0:45:55.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, New Yorker, and I've spent a lot of time.

0:45:55.280 --> 0:45:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I have family up in the Hudson Valley, have a

0:45:58.239 --> 0:46:01.400
<v Speaker 1>house of the Hudson Valley. Grandparents been there, uh summers

0:46:01.480 --> 0:46:05.439
<v Speaker 1>up in the Hudson Valley, and I'm pretty sure there's

0:46:05.480 --> 0:46:07.799
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of apple picking going on in January.

0:46:09.080 --> 0:46:11.880
<v Speaker 1>But if it's the peak season, they said, that counts

0:46:11.960 --> 0:46:14.560
<v Speaker 1>for half of this farm's revenue. I've been talking to

0:46:14.600 --> 0:46:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you on this show about farmers and the plight of farmers.

0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump spoke to farmers yesterday in or maybe the day

0:46:20.520 --> 0:46:25.480
<v Speaker 1>before in Nashville and federal regulations, reams of paper. We

0:46:25.560 --> 0:46:28.880
<v Speaker 1>had Selina Zito come on. She's a author and a

0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:33.480
<v Speaker 1>correspondent journalist, and she was saying that farmers have to

0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:37.799
<v Speaker 1>fill out stacks and stacks and stacks of paperwork. I mean,

0:46:38.040 --> 0:46:40.359
<v Speaker 1>I know, farming is a really tough business, really hard

0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:41.719
<v Speaker 1>to do. I know that, right. You deal with a

0:46:41.760 --> 0:46:44.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff that's beyond your control. Seasonality. Whether all

0:46:44.640 --> 0:46:47.360
<v Speaker 1>this I can't. I would think though, that one of

0:46:47.400 --> 0:46:50.279
<v Speaker 1>the benefits is that it's a pretty self sustaining thing

0:46:50.600 --> 0:46:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and you're at least somewhat away from the reach of

0:46:55.400 --> 0:47:00.160
<v Speaker 1>an overweening and semi dick tutorial Uncle Sam. But oh,

0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:03.320
<v Speaker 1>farmers got a ton of paperwork. I've been willing to

0:47:03.360 --> 0:47:07.120
<v Speaker 1>bet now every small businessman and woman listening to this

0:47:07.200 --> 0:47:09.680
<v Speaker 1>show right now, it's probably like, oh, Buck, let me

0:47:09.800 --> 0:47:14.160
<v Speaker 1>tell you about dealing with OSHA, dealing with the f

0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:17.840
<v Speaker 1>d A, dealing with I mean, all these different organizations

0:47:17.960 --> 0:47:19.560
<v Speaker 1>that come in and want never mind, I mean, you

0:47:19.560 --> 0:47:21.320
<v Speaker 1>get a visit from the I R S. That's truly

0:47:21.360 --> 0:47:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the nightmare scenario. But I'm sure you've all got stories

0:47:24.920 --> 0:47:30.680
<v Speaker 1>about it, and it needs to stop. It needs to stop.

0:47:30.840 --> 0:47:35.279
<v Speaker 1>It is completely and utterly out of control. In fact,

0:47:35.360 --> 0:47:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the Mercadis Center, which is a center right think tank

0:47:40.080 --> 0:47:45.520
<v Speaker 1>at George Mason University, says that the Federal Regulatory Code

0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 1>right now has and this is just for rules on

0:47:50.480 --> 0:47:56.120
<v Speaker 1>apple orchards, okay, has twelve thousand rules and regulations and

0:47:56.160 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 1>effect for apple picking. My friends, the trees, the apples,

0:48:03.320 --> 0:48:05.919
<v Speaker 1>you pick them, you eat them, or you sell them.

0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how it really? I mean, we're pretty much

0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:12.000
<v Speaker 1>in lemonade stand territory here right in terms of the

0:48:12.080 --> 0:48:15.960
<v Speaker 1>complexity of the commercial transaction, and no offense to lemonade stand.

0:48:16.719 --> 0:48:20.040
<v Speaker 1>But you see what I'm saying. This is not Dodd

0:48:20.160 --> 0:48:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Frank High Finance Global too. This is Okay, I've got

0:48:22.960 --> 0:48:25.279
<v Speaker 1>an apple farm. I'd like people to come. I'd like

0:48:25.400 --> 0:48:28.160
<v Speaker 1>them to be able. Reminds me of Ron Swanson, you

0:48:28.239 --> 0:48:30.840
<v Speaker 1>know that, the wonderful character from the show Parks and

0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Wreck where he gives his version of commerce, which is,

0:48:34.040 --> 0:48:36.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've got a few apples, would you like

0:48:36.160 --> 0:48:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to trade or buy some they're done commerce. That's really

0:48:40.520 --> 0:48:43.080
<v Speaker 1>what this should be. It doesn't have to be more

0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:47.640
<v Speaker 1>complicated than that. And yet the federal government has twelve thousand.

0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:51.000
<v Speaker 1>We think about that. If you and I sat down,

0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:53.440
<v Speaker 1>if I got like a group of team Buck experts,

0:48:53.640 --> 0:48:55.600
<v Speaker 1>we could probably come up with like a few hundred

0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:58.879
<v Speaker 1>regulations if we were trying to. And I'm not saying

0:48:58.920 --> 0:49:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it would be a good thing, but twelve thousand. How

0:49:02.440 --> 0:49:07.640
<v Speaker 1>do you have twelve thousand regulations about picking apples? Well,

0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the federal code currently for orchards specifically spends ten thousand,

0:49:16.120 --> 0:49:22.440
<v Speaker 1>four hundred words to regulate the spraying of pesticides. And

0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you that somebody who, as part of

0:49:25.040 --> 0:49:27.520
<v Speaker 1>my living, gets paid to write things and pays attention

0:49:27.600 --> 0:49:31.120
<v Speaker 1>to word count. That's a lot of words. That's a

0:49:31.200 --> 0:49:38.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of writing about pesticides, just for orchards. The business

0:49:38.560 --> 0:49:42.680
<v Speaker 1>owner in this case, the the owner of the orchard, uh,

0:49:43.040 --> 0:49:46.480
<v Speaker 1>must be proficient. According to the Times, here in thirty

0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:52.279
<v Speaker 1>three precise definitions, including a forty five word description of

0:49:52.360 --> 0:50:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the term hazard. Uh. There, this is just insanity. Uh,

0:50:01.360 --> 0:50:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it's absolutely crazy. I mean I look into the details

0:50:05.440 --> 0:50:08.880
<v Speaker 1>here and I think how could and even the Times

0:50:09.040 --> 0:50:11.600
<v Speaker 1>is like, look, you know there are there is a

0:50:11.680 --> 0:50:15.600
<v Speaker 1>limit even to our status meddling. Right, even the times

0:50:15.640 --> 0:50:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, maybe having twelve thousand regulations for an apple

0:50:18.800 --> 0:50:23.279
<v Speaker 1>orchard is a bad idea. And this is why when

0:50:23.400 --> 0:50:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump is trying to push for a regulatory rollback and

0:50:27.520 --> 0:50:32.759
<v Speaker 1>has been, it is so important for all of us.

0:50:33.040 --> 0:50:38.120
<v Speaker 1>It's so important for business. And you know, this is

0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:41.040
<v Speaker 1>what you're seeing here. I mean President Trump at the

0:50:41.120 --> 0:50:45.000
<v Speaker 1>beginning of his term signed an executive order that for

0:50:45.080 --> 0:50:49.279
<v Speaker 1>every new federal regulation too had to be rescinded um.

0:50:50.200 --> 0:50:52.759
<v Speaker 1>And this is one of the things that does not

0:50:52.880 --> 0:50:58.479
<v Speaker 1>get nearly enough attention, does not get nearly enough I think,

0:50:59.000 --> 0:51:03.440
<v Speaker 1>uh does thing nearly enough? Credit twelve thousand, folks, that's

0:51:03.440 --> 0:51:05.640
<v Speaker 1>how many regulations for an apple org And it's just insane.

0:51:06.640 --> 0:51:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Think about what that does. And that's now we're start

0:51:08.640 --> 0:51:11.160
<v Speaker 1>thinking about what's it like for more complicated businesses. I

0:51:11.160 --> 0:51:14.879
<v Speaker 1>should know it. It's really anti competitive as well. Big

0:51:14.960 --> 0:51:17.719
<v Speaker 1>business loves big government, big business love staate is um,

0:51:18.600 --> 0:51:21.920
<v Speaker 1>especially when you're talking about regulatory costs, regulatory burden, all that.

0:51:22.320 --> 0:51:24.960
<v Speaker 1>There's a reason why there's been so much consolidation of

0:51:25.080 --> 0:51:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the megabanks and these mega financial institutions because for them, yeah,

0:51:29.719 --> 0:51:33.120
<v Speaker 1>they they can handle the Dodd Frank regulatory burden. Might

0:51:33.200 --> 0:51:35.440
<v Speaker 1>mean more costs for consumers, might mean it affects the

0:51:35.880 --> 0:51:39.120
<v Speaker 1>bottom line of the corporate entity. But if you're trying

0:51:39.160 --> 0:51:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to get a small start, you're trying to run a

0:51:40.960 --> 0:51:44.200
<v Speaker 1>small a boutique investment bank for example, or even a

0:51:44.239 --> 0:51:48.080
<v Speaker 1>community local bank, hurts you a whole lot more than

0:51:48.080 --> 0:51:51.120
<v Speaker 1>it does Goldman Sacks, doesn't it right? And you can

0:51:51.160 --> 0:51:55.440
<v Speaker 1>apply that throughout the entire commercial ecosystem to businesses across

0:51:55.520 --> 0:52:01.759
<v Speaker 1>the board. This is why the White How approach to regulation.

0:52:02.000 --> 0:52:05.800
<v Speaker 1>It just means that, you know what, the local apple

0:52:05.920 --> 0:52:09.480
<v Speaker 1>orchard owner maybe has a shot to stay in business.

0:52:10.280 --> 0:52:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Means the local auto body shop owner, the uh somebody

0:52:14.320 --> 0:52:18.240
<v Speaker 1>runs a grocery store, somebody runs uh whatever, your small business.

0:52:18.320 --> 0:52:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you got a shot under this administration, the Obama

0:52:23.000 --> 0:52:26.360
<v Speaker 1>administration was just telling you to just deal with it. Sorry.

0:52:27.440 --> 0:52:30.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, we've got we've got an agenda here, We've

0:52:30.040 --> 0:52:33.000
<v Speaker 1>got people to please, we've got a media that we

0:52:33.080 --> 0:52:35.960
<v Speaker 1>need to run stories about how we're cracking down on

0:52:36.080 --> 0:52:38.799
<v Speaker 1>the lack of recycling, an X, Y or Z industry. Right,

0:52:38.800 --> 0:52:42.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is just it was insanity, and it's

0:52:42.360 --> 0:52:45.000
<v Speaker 1>all because of this president in this White House. So

0:52:45.640 --> 0:52:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna call it out when I don't like what

0:52:47.080 --> 0:52:49.400
<v Speaker 1>they're doing. You know, I disagree with this administration on

0:52:49.960 --> 0:52:53.919
<v Speaker 1>the approach to the legalization there approach when it comes

0:52:53.920 --> 0:52:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to legalization of marijuana. They're more restrictive and more about

0:52:56.640 --> 0:52:59.480
<v Speaker 1>enforcement at least that's what they're saying. But on regulation,

0:53:00.440 --> 0:53:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, it should commerce should be a pretty straightforward

0:53:03.600 --> 0:53:07.120
<v Speaker 1>thing whenever we can have it that way, and you know,

0:53:07.200 --> 0:53:09.359
<v Speaker 1>an apple and apple orchard should be, hey, I would

0:53:09.360 --> 0:53:11.360
<v Speaker 1>like to buy some apples, here's some money for it,

0:53:12.160 --> 0:53:14.719
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, don't don't spray anything on it that's gonna

0:53:14.800 --> 0:53:17.799
<v Speaker 1>hurt anybody. And you know we can we can make

0:53:17.880 --> 0:53:20.959
<v Speaker 1>this pretty straightforward, just like with the tax code. Same

0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:26.000
<v Speaker 1>thing should be true of federal regulations for businesses. Simple, straightforward,

0:53:26.560 --> 0:53:32.759
<v Speaker 1>universally applied and applicable. That's it. That's it. So regulations

0:53:33.239 --> 0:53:35.239
<v Speaker 1>doesn't sound like a sexy topic, But to those of

0:53:35.320 --> 0:53:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you who deal with it, I know you're like, hey,

0:53:37.640 --> 0:53:39.680
<v Speaker 1>this matters, alright, Alright, I know I gotta roll into

0:53:39.680 --> 0:53:41.320
<v Speaker 1>a break here, I got fired up about my apple

0:53:41.440 --> 0:53:44.200
<v Speaker 1>orchard eight four or four n eight to five eight

0:53:44.280 --> 0:53:46.200
<v Speaker 1>four or four nine buck. Let me just say, if

0:53:46.200 --> 0:53:49.120
<v Speaker 1>you've got a story about your business dealing with crazy regulations,

0:53:49.440 --> 0:53:52.960
<v Speaker 1>would love to hear it. Crazier the better. Let's beat

0:53:53.040 --> 0:53:54.680
<v Speaker 1>up on the federal government. Let's beat up on the

0:53:54.800 --> 0:53:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Leviathan bureaucracy that is out there, the many tentacled octopus

0:53:59.000 --> 0:54:01.440
<v Speaker 1>that will not leave you a own courtesy of Washington

0:54:01.520 --> 0:54:03.680
<v Speaker 1>d C. We'll be right back a little bit differently,

0:54:03.719 --> 0:54:05.600
<v Speaker 1>because I think there's no question in my mind that

0:54:05.880 --> 0:54:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not to have banks now. The regulations was like

0:54:08.280 --> 0:54:10.719
<v Speaker 1>a friction cause in society, and it got worse and

0:54:10.800 --> 0:54:13.560
<v Speaker 1>worse and worse. So in other industries. If I speak

0:54:13.600 --> 0:54:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to you know, if some of my friends in media, mining, telecom,

0:54:18.680 --> 0:54:20.960
<v Speaker 1>they're clearly seeing to benefit, we haven't really seen it.

0:54:21.120 --> 0:54:23.560
<v Speaker 1>And financial services because the new people just put in place.

0:54:23.880 --> 0:54:25.759
<v Speaker 1>But but the American public should think of this is

0:54:25.960 --> 0:54:29.120
<v Speaker 1>a vast bureaucracy which is like sand in the engine.

0:54:29.480 --> 0:54:32.680
<v Speaker 1>And to reduce some of that, not roll back good regulations,

0:54:32.960 --> 0:54:35.439
<v Speaker 1>not go back to the good old times. Not. Don't

0:54:35.680 --> 0:54:37.759
<v Speaker 1>you know we need to protect consumers but you know,

0:54:37.880 --> 0:54:40.359
<v Speaker 1>bureaucracy and bureaucracy, and the American public knows that when

0:54:40.400 --> 0:54:42.759
<v Speaker 1>they go to the d M V veterans, No, when

0:54:42.760 --> 0:54:44.719
<v Speaker 1>they go to the v A. I mean, and that's

0:54:44.760 --> 0:54:47.239
<v Speaker 1>what's been happening more and more the United States. That's

0:54:47.320 --> 0:54:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Jamie Diamond speaking to Maria bar a Roma there on

0:54:49.480 --> 0:54:55.359
<v Speaker 1>Fox and he's the CEO of JP Morgan and it's

0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:59.919
<v Speaker 1>a Democrat. It's super rich guy obviously, uh. And he's

0:55:00.040 --> 0:55:02.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about it. And look, I think he's right, you know,

0:55:02.960 --> 0:55:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I think he's puts it pretty well. We know what

0:55:05.200 --> 0:55:07.800
<v Speaker 1>bureaucracy is like. Whenever we deal with it, we hate it.

0:55:08.440 --> 0:55:11.239
<v Speaker 1>So why do we want bureaucracies more involved in our

0:55:11.280 --> 0:55:15.680
<v Speaker 1>lives via regulation? Why would we want an apple orchard

0:55:15.760 --> 0:55:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to get a visit in its busiest season that takes

0:55:18.280 --> 0:55:22.080
<v Speaker 1>forty hours of manpower offline for them to make, you know,

0:55:22.160 --> 0:55:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to make a profit, make enough money for people to

0:55:25.200 --> 0:55:28.080
<v Speaker 1>pay their bills, pay their mortgage, put food on the table.

0:55:29.480 --> 0:55:31.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't we we don't want that to happen. We

0:55:31.200 --> 0:55:33.200
<v Speaker 1>don't want the federal government doing all this crazy stuff.

0:55:33.280 --> 0:55:34.920
<v Speaker 1>And it really needs a look, I mean, the Obama

0:55:34.920 --> 0:55:39.120
<v Speaker 1>administration just went nuts with telling the American people what

0:55:39.239 --> 0:55:43.160
<v Speaker 1>to do all with everything all over the place and

0:55:43.719 --> 0:55:46.680
<v Speaker 1>pushing that back is is phenomenal. Stephen in Mississippi has

0:55:46.719 --> 0:55:51.200
<v Speaker 1>got a ridiculous regulation for me. What's up, Stephen? Hello?

0:55:51.280 --> 0:55:55.080
<v Speaker 1>How are you? I'm good? Okay. Now, what we had

0:55:55.120 --> 0:55:58.760
<v Speaker 1>to do when they switched over to energy efficient bulbs

0:55:59.719 --> 0:56:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the for for reescent bloods that we used, we had

0:56:04.080 --> 0:56:08.440
<v Speaker 1>to buy the same box they came in to store

0:56:08.480 --> 0:56:13.239
<v Speaker 1>them to send them back to the government rather than

0:56:13.960 --> 0:56:19.680
<v Speaker 1>just putting them in h bub crusher and uh crushing

0:56:19.719 --> 0:56:23.520
<v Speaker 1>them and sending them back to the landfill. So you,

0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:26.080
<v Speaker 1>because of a regulation, you had to recycle your light

0:56:26.160 --> 0:56:28.920
<v Speaker 1>bulbs and send them back to the government. Now we

0:56:29.040 --> 0:56:32.839
<v Speaker 1>had to recycle them in the exact same box they

0:56:32.920 --> 0:56:35.879
<v Speaker 1>came in, in the same box. Why, I don't even

0:56:35.880 --> 0:56:37.320
<v Speaker 1>know why. They don't even know how they think that

0:56:37.400 --> 0:56:41.840
<v Speaker 1>makes sense? That's what they did. And we had to

0:56:42.000 --> 0:56:45.759
<v Speaker 1>chain off the area they were in. But we had

0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:48.719
<v Speaker 1>to put them in the same exact box they came in.

0:56:49.280 --> 0:56:52.319
<v Speaker 1>So if somebody lost the box, we had to buy

0:56:52.400 --> 0:56:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the box from ge and then ship it down here

0:56:56.200 --> 0:57:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to us. Put the balls in? What business? What business?

0:57:03.080 --> 0:57:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Steve do you mind telling us what kind of business? Yeah? Yeah, man, Steven,

0:57:10.080 --> 0:57:11.919
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much, Shield Tie, thank you for calling

0:57:11.960 --> 0:57:14.840
<v Speaker 1>in with the regular Yeah, it's I mean, I the

0:57:15.080 --> 0:57:17.800
<v Speaker 1>stories people tell me about this stuff, it's insane. Well,

0:57:17.800 --> 0:57:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the way everybody I know who works in finances, like

0:57:19.640 --> 0:57:22.080
<v Speaker 1>dot Frank is crazy. Dot Frank does all kinds of

0:57:22.160 --> 0:57:24.600
<v Speaker 1>really bad things, but people don't spend as much time

0:57:24.680 --> 0:57:26.560
<v Speaker 1>thinking about that. All right, we got a lot more

0:57:27.120 --> 0:57:30.400
<v Speaker 1>stay with me. All We got Brett in Virginia who's

0:57:30.400 --> 0:57:33.440
<v Speaker 1>got a dumb federal regulation for me. Brett, lay it

0:57:33.520 --> 0:57:37.240
<v Speaker 1>on me. Hey, Buck, are you tonight? I'm good man,

0:57:37.360 --> 0:57:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for calling in. Well, I have a pressure

0:57:41.440 --> 0:57:46.080
<v Speaker 1>washing business and I fight both E p A and

0:57:48.240 --> 0:57:53.040
<v Speaker 1>um OSHA. So just to give you an example of

0:57:53.160 --> 0:57:57.440
<v Speaker 1>how crazy the regulations are. Um if we claim a

0:57:57.560 --> 0:58:01.000
<v Speaker 1>building and we use kind of coals, but you have

0:58:01.120 --> 0:58:03.600
<v Speaker 1>to capture that and put it in a sanitary sewer.

0:58:03.640 --> 0:58:05.919
<v Speaker 1>And I understand that because it's chemicals and we don't

0:58:05.920 --> 0:58:10.480
<v Speaker 1>want those ruining our water system. Even though I'm conservative,

0:58:10.520 --> 0:58:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't like to do things like that. Yeah, everybody

0:58:14.120 --> 0:58:16.680
<v Speaker 1>actually wants clean water. There's this there's this left wing

0:58:16.760 --> 0:58:19.720
<v Speaker 1>myth out there. That people will want to poison, especially

0:58:19.760 --> 0:58:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the communities they live in, because you know, the e

0:58:22.720 --> 0:58:24.520
<v Speaker 1>p A has to save the day or something. It's

0:58:24.560 --> 0:58:28.000
<v Speaker 1>crazy exactly. And and and these are people that I

0:58:28.040 --> 0:58:30.240
<v Speaker 1>mean e p A started out at nothing, and that

0:58:30.320 --> 0:58:34.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a gigantic organization. But here, here's the here's the

0:58:34.200 --> 0:58:37.160
<v Speaker 1>funny part of this thing. So I cleaned the building

0:58:37.240 --> 0:58:41.800
<v Speaker 1>with hot water only because it's easier to do it

0:58:41.920 --> 0:58:44.640
<v Speaker 1>that way than it is the chemicals. I still have

0:58:44.800 --> 0:58:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to capture that water and the dirt and all that

0:58:49.200 --> 0:58:52.560
<v Speaker 1>comes off of those buildings. I have to take that water.

0:58:52.720 --> 0:58:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I have to put it in some kind of vessel,

0:58:55.000 --> 0:58:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and then I have to pump it into grass, dirt

0:58:58.120 --> 0:59:01.440
<v Speaker 1>or gravel so they can then be filtered. And I

0:59:01.560 --> 0:59:05.320
<v Speaker 1>said to the person who was with the state, the

0:59:05.520 --> 0:59:08.800
<v Speaker 1>same as e p A, what happens when it rains?

0:59:09.760 --> 0:59:13.240
<v Speaker 1>They have no answer, right, So you're telling me that

0:59:13.840 --> 0:59:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you're literally using water to clean as you're as part

0:59:17.480 --> 0:59:19.560
<v Speaker 1>of your business. You're you're using water on the outside

0:59:19.600 --> 0:59:22.400
<v Speaker 1>of a building which is hit with water when it rains,

0:59:22.720 --> 0:59:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and you have to treat the water runoff from cleaning

0:59:25.920 --> 0:59:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the building like you're using dangerous or abrasive chemicals or

0:59:30.320 --> 0:59:33.800
<v Speaker 1>something pretty much pretty close to it. Oh, I'm sorry.

0:59:33.840 --> 0:59:35.960
<v Speaker 1>It has to be filtered through the ground, not through it.

0:59:36.160 --> 0:59:38.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's not a separate thing. But it has to

0:59:38.120 --> 0:59:42.800
<v Speaker 1>be filtered through the ground because why because it's dirty.

0:59:44.680 --> 0:59:47.040
<v Speaker 1>So you have special regulations for how you dispose of

0:59:47.120 --> 0:59:51.040
<v Speaker 1>dirty water. It's it's dirty. I mean, does dirty water

0:59:51.160 --> 0:59:55.160
<v Speaker 1>not go down the storm drains anyway? Yeah, I would think. So,

0:59:55.600 --> 0:59:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to Wow, that isn't a regulation. Is so

0:59:58.400 --> 1:00:00.280
<v Speaker 1>dumb that I'm having a hard time understand. I didn't

1:00:00.280 --> 1:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>get Brett. Well, on top of that, I've drat the

1:00:02.720 --> 1:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>ocean regulations and I've got my STS manuals. I have

1:00:06.080 --> 1:00:08.360
<v Speaker 1>to keep one in the shop and one and and

1:00:08.480 --> 1:00:11.440
<v Speaker 1>one in each truck. Here's the funny thing. If you

1:00:11.640 --> 1:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>buy it in in the store and I bring it

1:00:14.640 --> 1:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>into my office. So let's say you go out and

1:00:17.520 --> 1:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>you buy some wind X and put it under your

1:00:19.360 --> 1:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>cabinet in the house. Well, that's fine and wonderful. But

1:00:22.480 --> 1:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>if I buy that same windex and put it in

1:00:25.480 --> 1:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>my office for my employees to use, I have to

1:00:28.520 --> 1:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>have an SCS sheet on that. And for those who

1:00:31.320 --> 1:00:35.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know what STS is. It's material safety data sheets

1:00:36.200 --> 1:00:39.160
<v Speaker 1>and it explains what it is, what it's made of,

1:00:39.720 --> 1:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and what you do in case this happens or that happens,

1:00:42.960 --> 1:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>open your kitchen cabinet. Yeah, there you go, Brett, great examples, man.

1:00:48.040 --> 1:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for calling from Virginia. I appreciate it. And

1:00:51.520 --> 1:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>keep doing what you do. Um. Yeah, you know, it's

1:00:54.040 --> 1:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing to me when you uh, when we uh

1:00:58.480 --> 1:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>look at the on the on the apple orchard, the

1:01:01.080 --> 1:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>whole farmer situation I was telling you about. I didn't

1:01:03.720 --> 1:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>even get into some of those details, just about the

1:01:05.800 --> 1:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the enormous amount of paperwork about everything that happens on

1:01:10.680 --> 1:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the farm all the time. They have to and then

1:01:14.120 --> 1:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>they go into some crazy examples. You know, anything that

1:01:16.880 --> 1:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>happens they have to document it paperwork, and probably in

1:01:20.680 --> 1:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>duplicate or triplicate and all this stuff. It's a farm,

1:01:24.120 --> 1:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you know. Yeah, if somebody gets hit with heavy machinery

1:01:26.040 --> 1:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and they're injured, okay, you documented. Right, there's this. This

1:01:28.920 --> 1:01:33.480
<v Speaker 1>is the thun funny thing of regulation. Sensible regulation is

1:01:33.600 --> 1:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>not something that a lot of people have a have

1:01:35.400 --> 1:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a tough time with. Right, It's very easy to understand this.

1:01:41.200 --> 1:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just a question, and when the regulations become well,

1:01:44.280 --> 1:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't this be nice, or oh we have this agenda,

1:01:46.800 --> 1:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh we would like it if that were that were happening.

1:01:49.040 --> 1:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just madness. It's just madness. Pollution is

1:01:54.080 --> 1:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>a great example, by the way, of how this gets

1:01:56.520 --> 1:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>so out of control. There's always this notion that the

1:02:00.200 --> 1:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>thinks that we want to get rid of all regulations

1:02:02.200 --> 1:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and everything, because if if conservatives have had their way,

1:02:06.360 --> 1:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>we'd be living in some kind of uh you know,

1:02:09.600 --> 1:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>iron randy and anarchy where only the strong survive and

1:02:14.160 --> 1:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>people will be polluting everything. And now nobody actually wants

1:02:17.760 --> 1:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>to poison people. Really, that's I mean, I'm not saying

1:02:20.200 --> 1:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>it never happens. I'm just saying it's it's not an

1:02:22.320 --> 1:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>active goal of of industry or jab or job creators

1:02:27.280 --> 1:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>or they don't need to act like everybody's trying to

1:02:30.880 --> 1:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>do terrible things all the time. But they do. They

1:02:33.800 --> 1:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>certainly do. Uh. So there's that. So we got some

1:02:37.600 --> 1:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>of the regulation stuff in there. I know, you you know,

1:02:39.440 --> 1:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>how many other people are gonna spend time on their

1:02:41.400 --> 1:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>radio show or on on their TV show or whatever

1:02:43.800 --> 1:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>about regulatory burden, regulatory fatigue, as it is called hello

1:02:48.800 --> 1:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and fatigued from the regulations. That's how we roll here though,

1:02:52.840 --> 1:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the Freedom Hunt. We do educational stuff here as well,

1:02:56.680 --> 1:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, not just all the country. That country is

1:02:59.160 --> 1:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>being destroy you know, okay, yeah, anyone can do that, right.

1:03:02.480 --> 1:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>The country is going down the tubes, you know. Okay,

1:03:05.960 --> 1:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's fun at all. But there's other things

1:03:08.200 --> 1:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>to talk about as well. I think I'm gonna hold

1:03:11.080 --> 1:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>off on my speaking of fearmongering. No, but really, I

1:03:15.080 --> 1:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>think I'm gonna hold off on the discussion about what

1:03:17.200 --> 1:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>happens if China stops buying treasuries and maybe starts to

1:03:21.240 --> 1:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>unwind some of its treasury positions for a later time.

1:03:24.160 --> 1:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>He might even have an expert guest come on and

1:03:26.120 --> 1:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>get into that one, because that's that's how things start

1:03:29.160 --> 1:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>to be a little scary. The the debt, which I

1:03:31.200 --> 1:03:33.080
<v Speaker 1>know nobody really wants to talk about. The debt is

1:03:33.200 --> 1:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>still a big problem, and it's getting worse all the time.

1:03:35.840 --> 1:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>But right now, people, I don't want to get into it.

1:03:38.640 --> 1:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>So all right, I hear you and all that. I

1:03:41.160 --> 1:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>hear that switching gears though for a second from that

1:03:45.000 --> 1:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>whole I'm gonna need you to do a heartbreak with me. Here.

1:03:46.760 --> 1:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna get away from that for a second talk.

1:03:50.000 --> 1:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna take a tough breath. It will We'll stretch

1:03:52.240 --> 1:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>it out. I told you before I got my neck

1:03:53.960 --> 1:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>is killing me. So maybe you can take a moment

1:03:56.520 --> 1:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>wherever you're listening and just just do do yourself. Favorite

1:03:59.040 --> 1:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>do a little stretching. It's something I don't do nearly

1:04:01.480 --> 1:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>enough of. And I'm hurting myself because I get all

1:04:04.320 --> 1:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>tightly wound from reading and writing and researching all the time.

1:04:09.880 --> 1:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not not good for your posture. Uh. The greatest

1:04:15.520 --> 1:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>newest nickname out there courtesy of Trump is Sneaky Diane Finstein.

1:04:22.320 --> 1:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>This is when he tweeted out earlier today, the single

1:04:24.920 --> 1:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>greatest witch hunt in American history continues. There was no collusion. Everybody,

1:04:32.880 --> 1:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>including the Dems, knows there was no collusion. And yet

1:04:35.760 --> 1:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>on it goes Russia and the world is laughing at

1:04:39.560 --> 1:04:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the stupidity they're witnessing. Republicans should finally take control. Uh.

1:04:45.440 --> 1:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>And then he says, wait, where's the sneaky what does

1:04:49.320 --> 1:04:52.280
<v Speaker 1>he call her? Sneaky fin Stein? I forget where he

1:04:53.440 --> 1:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it happened. President Trump's Oh Yeah. The fact that sneaky

1:04:57.120 --> 1:05:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Diane fin Stein, who this is what I was looking for.

1:05:01.440 --> 1:05:03.280
<v Speaker 1>The fact that sneaky Diane fine Stein, who was on

1:05:03.360 --> 1:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>numerous occasion state inclusion has not been found, would release

1:05:06.880 --> 1:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>testimony in such an underhand that and possibly illegal way,

1:05:09.720 --> 1:05:15.080
<v Speaker 1>totally without authorization, is a disgrace. Must have primary Uh so, yeah,

1:05:15.160 --> 1:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>he calls her sneaky, sneaky Diane Feinstein. Meanwhile, over at

1:05:19.760 --> 1:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>the MS MSNBC, here's what Laurence O'Donnell had to say

1:05:24.320 --> 1:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>about the fine Stein testimony transcript. I don't know if

1:05:27.720 --> 1:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>we call it a leak, but whatever it was, here's

1:05:29.800 --> 1:05:32.280
<v Speaker 1>what here's here's that the left is treating this. So

1:05:32.400 --> 1:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>what Diane Spinstein did today was the single most important

1:05:38.120 --> 1:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>act by the United States senator since Donald Trump took

1:05:41.360 --> 1:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the oath of office. Nothing less than that, sir, stop

1:05:45.200 --> 1:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>the hammering, Stop the hammering. Laurence O'Donnell once said, Uh,

1:05:51.800 --> 1:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how he could say that's the most

1:05:53.240 --> 1:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>important thing ever, because one, there's a lot of redactions

1:05:55.680 --> 1:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>in it, so there's a lot that we're still not

1:05:57.200 --> 1:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>allowed to know. And I would like to know why

1:06:00.440 --> 1:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>fusion GPS is work isn't classified because Fusion GPS is

1:06:05.760 --> 1:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>a private sector entity working at the behest of a

1:06:08.680 --> 1:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>political campaign. So why would there be stuff that we're

1:06:12.840 --> 1:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>that is not for public view? From that, why will

1:06:15.320 --> 1:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Fusion GPS only testify behind closed doors? Another question that

1:06:20.240 --> 1:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I think we all deserve some answers to. And and

1:06:24.080 --> 1:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>how Laurence O'Donnell comes up with the notion that this

1:06:26.520 --> 1:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>is the most important thing that any Senator has done

1:06:28.560 --> 1:06:31.480
<v Speaker 1>under Trump's presidency. I mean, maybe the Senate is not

1:06:31.520 --> 1:06:34.200
<v Speaker 1>doing a lot of really important stuff, fine, but it

1:06:34.240 --> 1:06:38.280
<v Speaker 1>seems to me that Feinstein clearly has an agenda at

1:06:38.320 --> 1:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>work here. Some are saying what she did is not

1:06:40.080 --> 1:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>even legal. I don't know. I didn't I didn't spend

1:06:42.640 --> 1:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>time on Capitol Hill with regard to these kinds of testimony,

1:06:49.360 --> 1:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>so I can't tell you if it's legal or not.

1:06:50.840 --> 1:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>But it seems to me like it quite clearly was

1:06:54.440 --> 1:06:58.840
<v Speaker 1>intended to have some political effect or impacts. So there

1:06:58.880 --> 1:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>you have it. Uh, Sneaky Diane Feinstein the newest of

1:07:04.120 --> 1:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>the Trump nicknames, Sneaky fin Stein. Trump is great with

1:07:08.280 --> 1:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the nicknames. I mean, you know, to say what you

1:07:10.800 --> 1:07:16.240
<v Speaker 1>will about the guy. He gives nicknames that stick sneaky Diane. Alright,

1:07:16.520 --> 1:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>eight four or four eight to five. We'll get into

1:07:19.920 --> 1:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>some of the um some me too moment stuff, and

1:07:24.280 --> 1:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it's got a little lot of control. Get

1:07:25.720 --> 1:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>into that and some other things coming up here, So

1:07:28.200 --> 1:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>stay right there. I'll be back. I feel like I

1:07:29.960 --> 1:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>could do a whole show just on Crazy CNN. Chiron's

1:07:35.560 --> 1:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Kirn's are the little words, you know, little banners the

1:07:38.400 --> 1:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>bottom of the of the TV screen. And there was

1:07:42.120 --> 1:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>one I sec togo about Yale psychiatrists warning about warning

1:07:46.280 --> 1:07:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Congress about Trump's mental health. Okay, well, what exactly are

1:07:53.080 --> 1:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>they warning about here? This is not somebody who has

1:07:56.920 --> 1:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>not somebody who's actually been able to diagnos house and

1:08:00.680 --> 1:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>spend time with the president. So it's it's just crazy.

1:08:05.360 --> 1:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>They're crazy. They think Trump's crazy, and the truth is

1:08:07.720 --> 1:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>they are crazy. Oh my gosh. They will not let

1:08:12.800 --> 1:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>it go. They won't stop if they don't get them

1:08:15.640 --> 1:08:17.719
<v Speaker 1>on Russian collusion. They're they're going to try to convince

1:08:17.760 --> 1:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>people that that the president has that the president is deranged. Meanwhile,

1:08:23.040 --> 1:08:25.519
<v Speaker 1>the president is doing all kinds of great stuff for

1:08:25.560 --> 1:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the country, including outside of the country too. Here's what

1:08:30.160 --> 1:08:34.639
<v Speaker 1>he had to say about earlier today about the Korea situation,

1:08:34.760 --> 1:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that the North and South Korean standoff, nuclear standoff between

1:08:39.000 --> 1:08:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Kim Jong un and the rest of the world. Here's

1:08:42.439 --> 1:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>what Trump had to say. I just spoke to President Moon.

1:08:47.840 --> 1:08:50.519
<v Speaker 1>He's very thankful for what we've done that having talks

1:08:50.600 --> 1:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>with North Korea. Will see how that happens. Uh. He

1:08:54.240 --> 1:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>felt that the original that the initial talk was extremely

1:08:59.000 --> 1:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>good and a lot of good comment. Rex was on

1:09:02.400 --> 1:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the phone, and Nikki has been totally briefed. But we

1:09:06.479 --> 1:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>had a very very good conversation and we'll see where

1:09:09.680 --> 1:09:12.439
<v Speaker 1>it goes. He's very thankful for what we've done. It

1:09:12.560 --> 1:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>was so reported today, uh that we were the ones.

1:09:15.840 --> 1:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Without our attitude that would have never happened. Who knows

1:09:19.040 --> 1:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>where it leads, hopefully to lead to success for the world,

1:09:22.400 --> 1:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>not just for our country, but for the world. So

1:09:27.680 --> 1:09:30.680
<v Speaker 1>we've been told by the press for a while that

1:09:30.960 --> 1:09:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump's approach to North Korea, to Kim Jong On specifically,

1:09:34.320 --> 1:09:37.479
<v Speaker 1>is antagonistic, could lead to nuclear war. That was the

1:09:37.560 --> 1:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>whole That was the whole, uh. Summary version of what

1:09:43.720 --> 1:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>they were saying about Trump's tweets where we call them

1:09:45.800 --> 1:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>rocket man and everything and yeah, here we are. You have.

1:09:49.920 --> 1:09:51.439
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to just take my word for it,

1:09:52.520 --> 1:09:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you have. The president of South Korea, President Moon jay In,

1:09:58.680 --> 1:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>said that quote. Trump deserves big credit for kicking off

1:10:04.120 --> 1:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the first talks between Pyongyang and Soul in more than

1:10:07.960 --> 1:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>two years. North Korea has agreed to send a delegation

1:10:12.280 --> 1:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>to the Winter Olympics next month. Now, I'm I'm very

1:10:17.240 --> 1:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>sober minded about this. I'm very forthright with you all.

1:10:20.360 --> 1:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I know that this could just be a North Korean

1:10:23.200 --> 1:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>head fake or a North Korean ploy, but it is

1:10:28.680 --> 1:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>also the first time in two years that there has

1:10:30.800 --> 1:10:34.680
<v Speaker 1>been any real talking between North and South Korea, and

1:10:34.840 --> 1:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>it happens to be occurring right after a series of

1:10:40.680 --> 1:10:45.839
<v Speaker 1>decisions by the Trump administration to implement more powerful sanctions

1:10:45.880 --> 1:10:48.519
<v Speaker 1>against North Korea, and also Trump saying, look, you know,

1:10:49.520 --> 1:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>if you want to play rough you know a little

1:10:52.000 --> 1:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>man in North Korea, guess what a rocket man? You know?

1:10:56.400 --> 1:11:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I can play rougher when you're talking about a regime

1:11:00.960 --> 1:11:04.440
<v Speaker 1>like North Korea where the cult of personality is absolute

1:11:04.520 --> 1:11:09.839
<v Speaker 1>and absolutist, When you're looking at a truly totalitarian society

1:11:09.920 --> 1:11:13.759
<v Speaker 1>like that where the leader is worshiped in an almost

1:11:13.840 --> 1:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>godlike status that somebody would challenge him so directly in

1:11:18.360 --> 1:11:23.519
<v Speaker 1>this way, we've been told will only result in heightened

1:11:23.600 --> 1:11:26.519
<v Speaker 1>chance of of of an actual nuclear exchange, nuclear war

1:11:26.560 --> 1:11:29.320
<v Speaker 1>with North Korea, which they may get off a couple

1:11:29.320 --> 1:11:31.879
<v Speaker 1>of missiles, but there won't be any North Korea left afterwards,

1:11:31.960 --> 1:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>as we all know. So that's not a war they

1:11:34.439 --> 1:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>would win. It's not a where anybody wants either, but

1:11:37.280 --> 1:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>it's war we would finish. And we've been told that

1:11:41.000 --> 1:11:44.879
<v Speaker 1>you can't you can't hit back at the bully publicly

1:11:44.960 --> 1:11:49.120
<v Speaker 1>this way. It's it's uh crazy, what there's that word again?

1:11:49.640 --> 1:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's irresponsible Trump is doing. Meanwhile, you got

1:11:52.120 --> 1:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the president of South Korea, who I think knows a

1:11:55.600 --> 1:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>whole lot more about North Korea South Korean relations in

1:11:58.960 --> 1:12:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the military situation. Then all these different pundits and journalists

1:12:03.360 --> 1:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and such running around sharing their opinions on this. Who's

1:12:07.320 --> 1:12:09.840
<v Speaker 1>saying that President Trump deserves a lot of credit here

1:12:11.360 --> 1:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>for taking action, for doing something, for forcing North Korea's hand,

1:12:17.120 --> 1:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>And is this something that's getting into coverage New New

1:12:21.000 --> 1:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>of course not. There's also been this uprising in Iran,

1:12:25.840 --> 1:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>which if you go back and look at the if

1:12:28.400 --> 1:12:31.240
<v Speaker 1>you look at what the conventional wisdom of the foreign

1:12:31.320 --> 1:12:35.040
<v Speaker 1>policy echo chamber has been on these two problems. Remember

1:12:35.080 --> 1:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>the two states left from what Bush described as the

1:12:38.800 --> 1:12:41.519
<v Speaker 1>access of evil, right it was Iraq, Iran, North Korea.

1:12:42.360 --> 1:12:44.880
<v Speaker 1>And now the rock has gone, not no longer on

1:12:44.960 --> 1:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the access of evil now that it's gone as a place,

1:12:48.920 --> 1:12:51.719
<v Speaker 1>but Iran and North Korea is still remained very serious

1:12:51.760 --> 1:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>problems with the United States. And yet the foreign policy

1:12:57.360 --> 1:13:00.240
<v Speaker 1>consensus from the people who think they know about these

1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:02.960
<v Speaker 1>things in the media at least, and from the former

1:13:03.040 --> 1:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Obama administration officials who just make they really make a

1:13:06.439 --> 1:13:09.800
<v Speaker 1>mockery of themselves on a regular basis. These uh foreign

1:13:09.880 --> 1:13:12.639
<v Speaker 1>policy bros that worked for Obama that are running around

1:13:12.640 --> 1:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>you can see some of them on Twitter and stuff

1:13:16.000 --> 1:13:18.639
<v Speaker 1>and the But the wisdom has been, oh, well, because

1:13:18.840 --> 1:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump was uh being well, because he's been critical of

1:13:25.040 --> 1:13:29.040
<v Speaker 1>the Iran nuclear deal. The people of Iran have rallied

1:13:29.120 --> 1:13:32.320
<v Speaker 1>behind the regime. That was like a month ago, people

1:13:32.400 --> 1:13:34.160
<v Speaker 1>that were writing that in New York Times and there

1:13:34.200 --> 1:13:39.479
<v Speaker 1>that was the storyline. Oh they're there. Trump's refusal to

1:13:39.520 --> 1:13:42.400
<v Speaker 1>play by Obama's rules when it comes to Iran is

1:13:42.439 --> 1:13:46.479
<v Speaker 1>just making everything worse. Meanwhile, we've seen an uprising against

1:13:46.520 --> 1:13:50.719
<v Speaker 1>the regime, and not just against any one particular small

1:13:50.840 --> 1:13:53.439
<v Speaker 1>policy of the regime has has been doing in Iran,

1:13:53.840 --> 1:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>but against the the entirety of it, the whole blocracy,

1:13:57.120 --> 1:14:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing, the Mullah's run of the show uh

1:14:01.200 --> 1:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Iranian Islamist Revolution. They're like, this is all crap. We're

1:14:05.200 --> 1:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>sick of it. It's bad, we don't want this anymore. Oh,

1:14:09.040 --> 1:14:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess all the foreign policy consensus about Trump on

1:14:11.720 --> 1:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>this was was not right. Huh. The same things going

1:14:15.040 --> 1:14:17.680
<v Speaker 1>on here with North Korea. Oh Trump, you can't do that.

1:14:17.880 --> 1:14:19.920
<v Speaker 1>You can't say his mean things about Kim Jong un.

1:14:21.120 --> 1:14:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh So we're just supposed to sit around and and

1:14:22.920 --> 1:14:25.680
<v Speaker 1>let By the way, it's a big propaganda tool for

1:14:25.840 --> 1:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the North Koreans that Kim Jong un gets his way,

1:14:29.400 --> 1:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>gets away literally with murder, but Kim jongan gets his

1:14:32.000 --> 1:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>way with the international community, doesn't suffer consequences, slaps out

1:14:36.360 --> 1:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>at countries that are much bigger and more powerful than him,

1:14:38.320 --> 1:14:42.560
<v Speaker 1>including the United States, and you know there's there's no

1:14:42.720 --> 1:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>real pushback. Well, Trump is calling him out basic, calling

1:14:46.200 --> 1:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>him a punk and saying, look, the door to negotiation

1:14:49.800 --> 1:14:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and diplomacy is open. But if you want to be

1:14:51.400 --> 1:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a punk, we we can. We can treat you like one.

1:14:55.600 --> 1:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>And people say, oh, foreign policy, it was so bad. Meanwhile,

1:14:58.760 --> 1:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>like I said, the President to South Korea is looking

1:15:00.960 --> 1:15:04.760
<v Speaker 1>at saying, actually, Trump knows knows something that all the

1:15:04.920 --> 1:15:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Obama experts from that eight years of foreign policy disaster.

1:15:10.080 --> 1:15:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump seems to know something they don't know. Like like

1:15:13.880 --> 1:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>others of them pointing out they can call Trump crazy

1:15:15.960 --> 1:15:17.840
<v Speaker 1>till they're blow in the face. But from everything we

1:15:17.960 --> 1:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>see so far, if Trump is crazy, my friends, he

1:15:21.439 --> 1:15:24.320
<v Speaker 1>is crazy like a fox. We'll be right back. Let's

1:15:24.360 --> 1:15:28.759
<v Speaker 1>talk about the latest with the me too movement, Jolly,

1:15:28.920 --> 1:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's discuss some stories that fall into this category of

1:15:35.320 --> 1:15:42.920
<v Speaker 1>UH the movement against sexual harassment and uh the all

1:15:43.000 --> 1:15:45.160
<v Speaker 1>all the different iterations of this. Now, there are a

1:15:45.280 --> 1:15:48.920
<v Speaker 1>few things coming together, different perspectives on this that I

1:15:48.920 --> 1:15:51.600
<v Speaker 1>would like to spend some time working through with you.

1:15:52.640 --> 1:15:55.479
<v Speaker 1>First of all, there there's well, in a way, this

1:15:55.600 --> 1:15:57.760
<v Speaker 1>touches on the meat the meat too movement, which is

1:15:57.960 --> 1:16:02.160
<v Speaker 1>as you know, is about women who are sharing their

1:16:02.200 --> 1:16:05.599
<v Speaker 1>stories of harassment or assault or but it it has

1:16:05.720 --> 1:16:11.040
<v Speaker 1>been also used in politicized ways already, as any political

1:16:11.080 --> 1:16:13.760
<v Speaker 1>movement would be. It has been used by some to grandstand.

1:16:14.479 --> 1:16:19.759
<v Speaker 1>It has been appropriated for the self interest of different

1:16:19.800 --> 1:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>individuals at different times. So we're going to look at

1:16:24.120 --> 1:16:28.519
<v Speaker 1>this from different perspectives. You've got Mark Wahlberg, whom I

1:16:28.640 --> 1:16:30.800
<v Speaker 1>have to say has has grown on me as as

1:16:30.840 --> 1:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>an actor. I like him more now than I used to.

1:16:33.200 --> 1:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I like I like a fair amount of his movies. Um,

1:16:36.400 --> 1:16:38.479
<v Speaker 1>in the earlier day, I was not a Marky Mark

1:16:38.520 --> 1:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and the Funky Bunch fan. It's some of you. Yeah,

1:16:42.000 --> 1:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you're old enough to remember. You know what I'm talking about.

1:16:44.760 --> 1:16:48.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can't remember the songs. But Mark Wahlberg

1:16:48.960 --> 1:16:51.400
<v Speaker 1>has has matured as as an actor as a performer,

1:16:51.439 --> 1:16:53.519
<v Speaker 1>and I think he's done a He's done a good job.

1:16:55.240 --> 1:16:58.439
<v Speaker 1>But good Way, Good Vibrations was the Marky Mark and

1:16:58.439 --> 1:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the Funky Bunch. Really, that's a pretty good song. Maybe

1:17:01.160 --> 1:17:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll take that back anyway, I have a Marky Mark.

1:17:04.200 --> 1:17:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, Mark part. I did not mean to do that.

1:17:06.080 --> 1:17:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Mark Wahlberg, who is a very big box office draw,

1:17:10.439 --> 1:17:13.000
<v Speaker 1>was part of the reshoots for the All the Money

1:17:13.040 --> 1:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>in the World movie, not All the Money in the

1:17:14.880 --> 1:17:20.080
<v Speaker 1>world had to be reshot because of a me Too

1:17:20.880 --> 1:17:26.400
<v Speaker 1>movement moments in which it came out that Kevin space

1:17:26.479 --> 1:17:34.040
<v Speaker 1>He had tried to engage in a sexual encounter with

1:17:34.479 --> 1:17:36.880
<v Speaker 1>an actor male actor who at the time was was

1:17:37.400 --> 1:17:39.720
<v Speaker 1>underage under the age of consent in the state of

1:17:39.760 --> 1:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>New York, and that got him in a whole lot

1:17:43.160 --> 1:17:46.120
<v Speaker 1>of trouble. And he has he's one of these people

1:17:46.200 --> 1:17:50.439
<v Speaker 1>now who's who's been outed and his career outed as

1:17:50.439 --> 1:17:53.920
<v Speaker 1>a predator and his career is obviously I don't know

1:17:53.920 --> 1:17:55.600
<v Speaker 1>if you say it's totally done, but never gonna be

1:17:55.680 --> 1:17:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the same guys off the show House of Cards, which

1:18:00.080 --> 1:18:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I have to say the first season was entertaining a

1:18:02.120 --> 1:18:04.479
<v Speaker 1>very overrated show. I couldn't even make it through the

1:18:04.560 --> 1:18:10.559
<v Speaker 1>third season. But anyway, but he's now he's been one

1:18:10.600 --> 1:18:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of these people who has gotten a whole lot of

1:18:13.400 --> 1:18:16.720
<v Speaker 1>trouble because of what he it is allegedly, remember this

1:18:16.840 --> 1:18:18.559
<v Speaker 1>has not been proven to court a lot, but allegedly

1:18:18.600 --> 1:18:20.560
<v Speaker 1>did a long time ago, and we're trying to do

1:18:20.600 --> 1:18:24.640
<v Speaker 1>a long time ago. Oh and Mark Wahlberg had to

1:18:24.720 --> 1:18:26.519
<v Speaker 1>be part of the reshoot Becausey had to take Kevin

1:18:26.560 --> 1:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Spacey out of the movie. Well, the big issue here

1:18:30.120 --> 1:18:31.800
<v Speaker 1>is that it's come out and it's been made a

1:18:31.840 --> 1:18:35.759
<v Speaker 1>big issue by the media that Mark Wahlberg got paid

1:18:35.920 --> 1:18:39.679
<v Speaker 1>one point five million dollars for the reshoot of the movie.

1:18:40.200 --> 1:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>That was necessary. The reshoot was necessary because they had

1:18:42.880 --> 1:18:46.720
<v Speaker 1>they scrubbed Kevin Spacey from the movie, literally removed him

1:18:47.120 --> 1:18:50.400
<v Speaker 1>in post production and and used another actor's face like

1:18:50.640 --> 1:18:54.040
<v Speaker 1>he they it's pretty amazing technologically they removed him from

1:18:54.080 --> 1:18:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the movie. He got paid one one five million dollars.

1:18:56.880 --> 1:19:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Michelle Williams uh got paid a thousand dollars, it has

1:19:02.120 --> 1:19:06.000
<v Speaker 1>been reported, which you know, that's a big that is

1:19:06.040 --> 1:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>a big pay differential. But a few things about this,

1:19:09.240 --> 1:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's and people are saying that, see this is

1:19:11.360 --> 1:19:13.800
<v Speaker 1>yet again the you know, equal work, equal pay thing,

1:19:14.000 --> 1:19:17.320
<v Speaker 1>fair pay me to all all this different stuff, all

1:19:17.360 --> 1:19:23.519
<v Speaker 1>of this gender inequality political movement gets tied into this

1:19:23.760 --> 1:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>right away. And I would just say, look, I haven't

1:19:25.960 --> 1:19:27.920
<v Speaker 1>looked too deeply into the details here. I don't have

1:19:27.960 --> 1:19:31.200
<v Speaker 1>access to the contracts they sign. I don't know, but

1:19:31.439 --> 1:19:34.680
<v Speaker 1>from what I understand, well, a couple of things. One

1:19:34.840 --> 1:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>is that I know that Mark Wahlberg uh was or

1:19:42.520 --> 1:19:47.120
<v Speaker 1>is a much bigger actor in terms of being a

1:19:47.240 --> 1:19:50.200
<v Speaker 1>box office draw than Michelle Williams is. That's just a fact.

1:19:51.400 --> 1:19:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I think Wallberg's movies have grossed in the last couple

1:19:55.240 --> 1:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of years close to a billion dollars. Michelle williams movies

1:19:58.840 --> 1:20:01.880
<v Speaker 1>have not gross close to a lillion dollars. And movie

1:20:01.920 --> 1:20:06.200
<v Speaker 1>making is a business, not a business that is necessarily

1:20:06.360 --> 1:20:08.280
<v Speaker 1>conducted very well. A lot of times in terms of

1:20:08.320 --> 1:20:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the bottom line. A lot of mistakes are made, a

1:20:09.880 --> 1:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of bad movies get made. But Mark Wahlberg is

1:20:14.000 --> 1:20:16.800
<v Speaker 1>a is a box office draw. It's about the I

1:20:16.840 --> 1:20:18.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know much of the lingo here, but I know

1:20:18.240 --> 1:20:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that's something. They say. He's a box office draw. Michelle

1:20:21.000 --> 1:20:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Williams not so much. I I do have to. I

1:20:24.479 --> 1:20:27.000
<v Speaker 1>thought my Week with Maryland, which Michelle Williams started, for

1:20:27.080 --> 1:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>those of you who are looking for a movie to

1:20:28.600 --> 1:20:30.000
<v Speaker 1>watch that you may have been off your I thought

1:20:30.040 --> 1:20:31.400
<v Speaker 1>it was a very good movie. And I don't just

1:20:31.479 --> 1:20:34.000
<v Speaker 1>say movies here are bad, so you can you know,

1:20:34.040 --> 1:20:35.719
<v Speaker 1>those of you who are already writing out those emails,

1:20:35.760 --> 1:20:37.920
<v Speaker 1>you can stop. There are lots of movies that I love.

1:20:38.920 --> 1:20:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I just like to call out movies that people like

1:20:41.200 --> 1:20:43.920
<v Speaker 1>for the wrong reasons, particularly reasons of politics, or you know,

1:20:44.040 --> 1:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>it's everyone's supposed to like a movie, so we're all

1:20:47.080 --> 1:20:48.640
<v Speaker 1>told it's so great, But I like to be the

1:20:48.680 --> 1:20:50.920
<v Speaker 1>one who says, no, it's actually not good. Don't even

1:20:50.960 --> 1:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>get me started on Avatar and how terrible it is.

1:20:52.920 --> 1:20:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll be here all night. Uh. That's the first example

1:20:56.960 --> 1:20:58.200
<v Speaker 1>came to mix I saw. I think they're making a

1:20:58.280 --> 1:21:01.360
<v Speaker 1>second one, which is just it's just it's like a

1:21:01.439 --> 1:21:06.280
<v Speaker 1>form of torture. Avatar was horrible. Um, but Mark Wahlberg

1:21:06.320 --> 1:21:08.120
<v Speaker 1>pay at one point five million, Michell Williams up pay hiss.

1:21:08.120 --> 1:21:09.800
<v Speaker 1>But he's a much bigger actor than she is. As

1:21:09.880 --> 1:21:12.920
<v Speaker 1>this as this stuff goes, now, I understand the immediate

1:21:13.000 --> 1:21:16.960
<v Speaker 1>response you get there is buck He's not He's not

1:21:17.080 --> 1:21:20.519
<v Speaker 1>a thousand times more valuable than she is. And that's true, right,

1:21:20.560 --> 1:21:22.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean she she is a pretty well known actress,

1:21:22.680 --> 1:21:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and like I said, the movie might be Maryland is

1:21:24.920 --> 1:21:26.519
<v Speaker 1>a very good movie. I think you should go check

1:21:26.520 --> 1:21:32.879
<v Speaker 1>it out. Um, but it's uh. It's also an example

1:21:32.920 --> 1:21:35.880
<v Speaker 1>of well did she just say she would do it

1:21:35.960 --> 1:21:38.200
<v Speaker 1>for free? Because if she agreed to do it for free,

1:21:38.240 --> 1:21:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not an equal pay disparity, sexual discrimination thing. It's

1:21:43.000 --> 1:21:44.560
<v Speaker 1>just as she said, she do it for free, he

1:21:44.720 --> 1:21:48.479
<v Speaker 1>demanded money. I mean, there is a what the market

1:21:48.520 --> 1:21:51.120
<v Speaker 1>will bear a component of all this discussion as well.

1:21:51.240 --> 1:21:53.599
<v Speaker 1>But as you can see, there's an immediate you got

1:21:53.680 --> 1:21:55.960
<v Speaker 1>paid disparity between a man and woman. It must be

1:21:56.080 --> 1:21:59.920
<v Speaker 1>because of sexism. Well it could be, but in this case,

1:22:00.840 --> 1:22:04.240
<v Speaker 1>he's a bigger actor. And what were the terms of

1:22:04.280 --> 1:22:09.640
<v Speaker 1>her agreement? You know, if somebody just better at negotiating

1:22:09.680 --> 1:22:11.760
<v Speaker 1>a deal for themselves than somebody else, I don't think

1:22:11.760 --> 1:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>it's fair to always just suggest or to to to

1:22:14.320 --> 1:22:20.880
<v Speaker 1>assume that it's about sexism. Uh. Then you have another case,

1:22:21.080 --> 1:22:23.680
<v Speaker 1>another me too situation here, and this one's also a

1:22:23.760 --> 1:22:27.040
<v Speaker 1>little I'm I'm illustrating it to make a point, But

1:22:27.160 --> 1:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know all that. No one knows all the

1:22:28.600 --> 1:22:32.679
<v Speaker 1>details yet. But here's what's going on. James Franco, whom

1:22:32.920 --> 1:22:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I do not like as an actor. I don't know

1:22:35.240 --> 1:22:38.080
<v Speaker 1>him as a person, doesn't matter. I don't like him

1:22:38.080 --> 1:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>as an actor, find him to be very self satisfied

1:22:41.000 --> 1:22:44.880
<v Speaker 1>and annoying, and and don't like his whole stick. But

1:22:45.040 --> 1:22:49.960
<v Speaker 1>he was on the Stephen Colbert Show last night, and

1:22:50.479 --> 1:22:54.960
<v Speaker 1>while he was on Stephen Colbert Show, it can't Colbert apparently,

1:22:55.840 --> 1:22:57.280
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I don't is he really is he

1:22:57.280 --> 1:22:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a comedian anymore? Is he a political commentator who makes jokes?

1:23:00.000 --> 1:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Some times? I think we know that Colbert is really

1:23:02.120 --> 1:23:07.200
<v Speaker 1>just hashtag resistance comedian who sometimes is making jokes but

1:23:07.400 --> 1:23:11.120
<v Speaker 1>has also doing a lot of finger wagging and moral

1:23:11.240 --> 1:23:14.080
<v Speaker 1>preening and grandstanding and just trying to appeal to the

1:23:14.240 --> 1:23:18.080
<v Speaker 1>coastal anti Trump audience as much as he can. Guys,

1:23:18.160 --> 1:23:22.000
<v Speaker 1>not funny. His show stinks, And I really, and I

1:23:22.080 --> 1:23:24.840
<v Speaker 1>mean that with all my heart. His show stinks. I'm

1:23:24.840 --> 1:23:26.920
<v Speaker 1>sure they pay him like twenty million years. Stink though,

1:23:27.000 --> 1:23:30.559
<v Speaker 1>so that's a good gig. And he though sat down

1:23:30.600 --> 1:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>with James Franco. He told Franco, who's gonna bring this up?

1:23:33.880 --> 1:23:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Franco was at the I was gonna say the Oscars,

1:23:37.520 --> 1:23:39.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's the Golden Globes and he was all He

1:23:39.800 --> 1:23:42.000
<v Speaker 1>was also with the whole meat too thing. I forget

1:23:42.040 --> 1:23:45.200
<v Speaker 1>he wore either wore something or he was part of

1:23:45.240 --> 1:23:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the Meat too movement in some way there at the

1:23:47.000 --> 1:23:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Golden Globes where he had all these actresses who you know,

1:23:50.400 --> 1:23:53.120
<v Speaker 1>couldn't say a peep some of them about Harvey Weinstein.

1:23:53.640 --> 1:23:55.559
<v Speaker 1>You know, when it would have really mattered. But now

1:23:55.760 --> 1:23:58.559
<v Speaker 1>everybody's you know, now everybody's a hero, and now everybody

1:23:58.640 --> 1:24:05.240
<v Speaker 1>okay but Walberg. I'm sorry. Franco has had a few

1:24:05.280 --> 1:24:08.320
<v Speaker 1>actors come out and call him out publicly on on Twitter,

1:24:09.640 --> 1:24:12.200
<v Speaker 1>call him out on social media to say that there's

1:24:12.240 --> 1:24:15.160
<v Speaker 1>something this guy did, some bad stuff, and I would

1:24:15.160 --> 1:24:18.280
<v Speaker 1>just note that. Here is his response. He was asked

1:24:18.280 --> 1:24:21.160
<v Speaker 1>about this by Stephen Colby. Here's how Franco responded to

1:24:21.280 --> 1:24:28.599
<v Speaker 1>all this. There were some things on Twitter, UM today, Yeah,

1:24:28.680 --> 1:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I didn't. I haven't read them. I've heard

1:24:31.160 --> 1:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>about them. UM. Okay, First of all, I don't. I

1:24:35.320 --> 1:24:37.200
<v Speaker 1>have no idea what I did to Ali Shed. I

1:24:37.360 --> 1:24:41.360
<v Speaker 1>directed her in a playoff Broadway. I had nothing but

1:24:41.479 --> 1:24:45.599
<v Speaker 1>a great time with her. Uh, total respect for her.

1:24:45.920 --> 1:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I no, I have no idea why she was upset

1:24:48.240 --> 1:24:50.800
<v Speaker 1>she took the tweet down. I don't. I don't know. UM,

1:24:51.600 --> 1:24:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't speak for her. I don't know. UM the others.

1:24:56.360 --> 1:25:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Look in my life, I pride myself on taking responsibility

1:25:03.240 --> 1:25:05.920
<v Speaker 1>for things that I've done. I have to do that

1:25:06.080 --> 1:25:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to maintain my well being. I do it. Whenever I

1:25:10.800 --> 1:25:13.400
<v Speaker 1>know that that there's something wrong or needs to be changed,

1:25:13.640 --> 1:25:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I make it a point to do it. The things

1:25:16.760 --> 1:25:19.840
<v Speaker 1>that I heard that that were on Twitter, um are

1:25:19.920 --> 1:25:26.200
<v Speaker 1>not accurate. Um. But I completely support people coming out

1:25:26.320 --> 1:25:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and being able to have a voice because I didn't

1:25:28.120 --> 1:25:30.479
<v Speaker 1>have a voice for so long. So I don't want to.

1:25:31.280 --> 1:25:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to, you know, shut them down in

1:25:33.680 --> 1:25:36.600
<v Speaker 1>any way. It's it's I think a good thing, and

1:25:36.640 --> 1:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I supported all right, So I I know. Let me

1:25:40.200 --> 1:25:42.960
<v Speaker 1>just say I know none of the facts here. I mean,

1:25:43.000 --> 1:25:45.680
<v Speaker 1>nobody does really right except for James Franco and his accusers.

1:25:46.080 --> 1:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not I'm a passing judgment on whether what

1:25:49.880 --> 1:25:52.640
<v Speaker 1>any woman has claimed about Franco is true or not.

1:25:52.760 --> 1:25:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea, and that's not for now. I

1:25:55.160 --> 1:25:57.439
<v Speaker 1>just I want to look at another aspect of this,

1:25:57.840 --> 1:26:00.759
<v Speaker 1>so just put that aside. And and I don't like Franco,

1:26:00.800 --> 1:26:02.439
<v Speaker 1>as I told you, as an actor, but that shouldn't

1:26:02.479 --> 1:26:06.120
<v Speaker 1>affect any of my judgment here anyway, uh, because that's

1:26:06.160 --> 1:26:08.320
<v Speaker 1>just as an actor, and who cares? That doesn't matter.

1:26:09.720 --> 1:26:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing. If you're accused of sexual misconduct as

1:26:14.920 --> 1:26:17.200
<v Speaker 1>as a as a guy, and you know, as a

1:26:17.240 --> 1:26:19.599
<v Speaker 1>public figure. You know, if you're James Franco, I feel

1:26:19.680 --> 1:26:23.679
<v Speaker 1>like you you gotta go one of you. There's gotta

1:26:23.680 --> 1:26:26.240
<v Speaker 1>be one or two things going on here. Either you

1:26:26.360 --> 1:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>messed up and you better at a minute. And I

1:26:28.160 --> 1:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know how severe this stuff is we're talking about it.

1:26:30.080 --> 1:26:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is just harassment comments. I

1:26:32.120 --> 1:26:36.479
<v Speaker 1>don't but I'm just trying to get it what seems

1:26:36.520 --> 1:26:40.160
<v Speaker 1>to me to be a troubling trend here. You're you know,

1:26:40.240 --> 1:26:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you either did some stuff where you didn't do some stuff,

1:26:43.040 --> 1:26:45.760
<v Speaker 1>and if you didn't do anything really wrong, you know,

1:26:45.800 --> 1:26:50.240
<v Speaker 1>if you didn't cross lines. If the accusations as he

1:26:50.320 --> 1:26:53.040
<v Speaker 1>says there, he says, well, it's not accurate. If they're untrue,

1:26:53.800 --> 1:26:57.479
<v Speaker 1>you should be able to say those are lies, and

1:26:57.920 --> 1:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>it's terrible that people would lie about me in that

1:27:00.040 --> 1:27:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a And if they are lies, you shouldn't then have

1:27:03.320 --> 1:27:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to say on top of it. But you know, I

1:27:06.000 --> 1:27:08.479
<v Speaker 1>don't wanna you could see he was very He's very

1:27:08.560 --> 1:27:10.639
<v Speaker 1>sort of it was a weird interview, right. The whole

1:27:10.680 --> 1:27:14.280
<v Speaker 1>thing was kind of what you know, it's either true

1:27:14.320 --> 1:27:17.080
<v Speaker 1>or it's not. If it's not true, you shouldn't then,

1:27:17.360 --> 1:27:19.560
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, I'm not passing judgment on it

1:27:19.640 --> 1:27:21.840
<v Speaker 1>being true or not. But if it's not true, as

1:27:21.880 --> 1:27:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a guy, you shouldn't have to stand up there or

1:27:23.640 --> 1:27:27.360
<v Speaker 1>sit there and say but you know, I I really

1:27:27.439 --> 1:27:30.040
<v Speaker 1>support the movement and everything we hold On a second,

1:27:31.000 --> 1:27:33.639
<v Speaker 1>these are not related things. This is about you, buddy,

1:27:33.640 --> 1:27:36.040
<v Speaker 1>This about James Franco. Did James Franco do bad stuff?

1:27:36.640 --> 1:27:38.519
<v Speaker 1>If James Franco did bad stuff, he should be held

1:27:38.560 --> 1:27:40.839
<v Speaker 1>to account and he should be saying sorry at a minimum.

1:27:40.840 --> 1:27:42.479
<v Speaker 1>I again, I don't know how serious the stuff is,

1:27:43.360 --> 1:27:46.599
<v Speaker 1>but if it's not true, I really am troubled by

1:27:46.680 --> 1:27:49.439
<v Speaker 1>the notion that now, as a public figure, as a guy,

1:27:49.960 --> 1:27:54.720
<v Speaker 1>when something's not true, if it's not true, you still

1:27:54.800 --> 1:27:56.760
<v Speaker 1>have to be like, but I really appreciate these women

1:27:56.840 --> 1:27:58.439
<v Speaker 1>coming forward to share that No no, no, no, no,

1:27:58.520 --> 1:28:00.640
<v Speaker 1>no no no, this we're not getting this thing of

1:28:00.760 --> 1:28:04.040
<v Speaker 1>like everybody has their truth. I'm sorry, And Stephen Colbert

1:28:04.040 --> 1:28:05.440
<v Speaker 1>went on to say, you know, how do we adjudicate

1:28:05.520 --> 1:28:07.680
<v Speaker 1>between different I didn't play that audio for you, but

1:28:07.960 --> 1:28:12.000
<v Speaker 1>between different perceptions of events or something there's right and

1:28:12.040 --> 1:28:14.639
<v Speaker 1>there's wrong. You know that you either did bad stuff

1:28:14.680 --> 1:28:17.120
<v Speaker 1>where you didn't and if somebody's lying about you, you

1:28:17.200 --> 1:28:19.920
<v Speaker 1>should be able to call that out without fear of

1:28:20.000 --> 1:28:23.280
<v Speaker 1>seeming insensitive about the rest of the movement. You see,

1:28:23.320 --> 1:28:29.720
<v Speaker 1>what's happened is that the individuals rights two to be

1:28:29.880 --> 1:28:31.400
<v Speaker 1>able to get to the truth, to be able to

1:28:31.439 --> 1:28:33.760
<v Speaker 1>defend themselves, that is being suppressed because now it's like

1:28:33.800 --> 1:28:37.439
<v Speaker 1>your anti the movement, the me too movement, if you

1:28:37.600 --> 1:28:40.720
<v Speaker 1>seem like you're too forcefully denouncing what are what would

1:28:40.720 --> 1:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>be false accusations here right, if in fact they're false.

1:28:45.760 --> 1:28:48.280
<v Speaker 1>But I think you see what I'm saying. It's it's

1:28:48.320 --> 1:28:51.800
<v Speaker 1>troubling to see somebody who clearly is taking issue at

1:28:51.880 --> 1:28:54.840
<v Speaker 1>some level with some of the accusations, and and he

1:28:54.920 --> 1:28:57.479
<v Speaker 1>has his impulse. You know, I think it's still you know,

1:28:57.560 --> 1:28:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I still want to say that, you know, I'm so

1:28:59.760 --> 1:29:02.320
<v Speaker 1>so respectful of the movement. It's also good and everything else.

1:29:02.360 --> 1:29:04.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if he's caught and he's in trouble, yeah,

1:29:04.560 --> 1:29:06.080
<v Speaker 1>then I understand why he's saying it. But if he

1:29:06.120 --> 1:29:08.559
<v Speaker 1>didn't do anything, why has he got to say all

1:29:08.600 --> 1:29:12.160
<v Speaker 1>that stuff? You know what I mean? All right, there's

1:29:12.200 --> 1:29:16.120
<v Speaker 1>also some other folks out there who, as a very

1:29:16.280 --> 1:29:19.000
<v Speaker 1>famous actress who's saying this me too thing has gotten

1:29:19.040 --> 1:29:21.479
<v Speaker 1>out a hand. So I want to talk to you

1:29:21.520 --> 1:29:22.800
<v Speaker 1>about that, but I'll have you have to stay with

1:29:22.880 --> 1:29:24.200
<v Speaker 1>me through the break and I'll give you the details.

1:29:24.200 --> 1:29:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Stare right there. So I'm assuming a bunch of you

1:29:27.960 --> 1:29:32.639
<v Speaker 1>fair number you probably know an actress by the name

1:29:32.680 --> 1:29:38.200
<v Speaker 1>of Catherine Deneuve who was really the most famous French

1:29:38.280 --> 1:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>actress of her generation, but was what was globally known

1:29:41.560 --> 1:29:48.200
<v Speaker 1>very very famous French actress um and she has signed

1:29:48.479 --> 1:29:52.479
<v Speaker 1>a letter with over a hundred other French women in

1:29:52.680 --> 1:29:56.519
<v Speaker 1>entertainment and it's a public letter that is just straight

1:29:56.600 --> 1:29:59.800
<v Speaker 1>up denouncing the French counterpart because now this is this

1:29:59.880 --> 1:30:02.000
<v Speaker 1>is become a global phenomenon, at least in the West,

1:30:02.080 --> 1:30:05.240
<v Speaker 1>this whole me too movement, the French counterpart movement is

1:30:05.280 --> 1:30:11.799
<v Speaker 1>called bellancetam Expose your pig, which is just a public

1:30:11.880 --> 1:30:15.320
<v Speaker 1>shaming of any guy who in the entertainment industry particularly

1:30:15.520 --> 1:30:20.200
<v Speaker 1>has acted in an untoward fashioned when it comes to women.

1:30:20.520 --> 1:30:26.600
<v Speaker 1>That's the idea. But the the hun women writing this

1:30:26.720 --> 1:30:31.440
<v Speaker 1>letter wrote the following. Rape is a crime, but insistent

1:30:31.680 --> 1:30:36.360
<v Speaker 1>or clumsy flirting is not a crime. Nor is gallantry

1:30:36.600 --> 1:30:40.759
<v Speaker 1>a chauvinist aggression. As a result of the Weinstein affair,

1:30:40.840 --> 1:30:45.000
<v Speaker 1>there has has been a legitimate realization of the sexual

1:30:45.120 --> 1:30:49.479
<v Speaker 1>violence women experience, particularly in the workplace, where some abuse,

1:30:49.920 --> 1:30:54.040
<v Speaker 1>some men abuse their power. It was necessary, but now

1:30:54.320 --> 1:30:59.320
<v Speaker 1>this liberation of speech has been turned on its head. Uh,

1:31:00.080 --> 1:31:02.800
<v Speaker 1>these women are saying, look, this is this can't be

1:31:02.920 --> 1:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the the new normal. Can't just be And I don't

1:31:05.080 --> 1:31:07.160
<v Speaker 1>know again, I mentioned the Franco case. I don't know

1:31:07.240 --> 1:31:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the details of whether that looks particularly bad form or not.

1:31:11.920 --> 1:31:14.240
<v Speaker 1>But the new normal is that if your name turns

1:31:14.320 --> 1:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>up on some list, and there have been lists circulated,

1:31:16.920 --> 1:31:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and or if your name comes out in the press

1:31:19.120 --> 1:31:23.720
<v Speaker 1>as a sexual harasser, you know, the pressure is so

1:31:24.000 --> 1:31:27.000
<v Speaker 1>strong to push you out right away, and I should not.

1:31:27.439 --> 1:31:30.479
<v Speaker 1>This also is gonna have ramifications when it comes to

1:31:30.560 --> 1:31:33.640
<v Speaker 1>main street businesses too, not just you know, not just

1:31:35.320 --> 1:31:38.960
<v Speaker 1>stuff out in Hollywood and in politics and the media,

1:31:39.120 --> 1:31:41.840
<v Speaker 1>news media. But it's gonna be the case. Now, it's

1:31:41.840 --> 1:31:44.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna be corporate culture. You know, nobody's gonna want to

1:31:44.320 --> 1:31:46.280
<v Speaker 1>have the No one's gonna want the bad press for

1:31:46.400 --> 1:31:48.960
<v Speaker 1>we didn't take care of that harass er right away.

1:31:50.200 --> 1:31:52.360
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not saying that anybody should be standing up

1:31:52.360 --> 1:31:54.000
<v Speaker 1>for guys who are doing bad stuff. I'm just saying

1:31:54.040 --> 1:31:57.120
<v Speaker 1>that we should always look at every individual should have

1:31:57.240 --> 1:32:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the right to prove his innocence right. Every individual should

1:32:01.240 --> 1:32:04.360
<v Speaker 1>have a right to at least some semblance of of

1:32:04.520 --> 1:32:10.200
<v Speaker 1>due process, including with their public image and their their reputation.

1:32:10.400 --> 1:32:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, your reputation is everything now, is you know,

1:32:12.720 --> 1:32:17.120
<v Speaker 1>in business and and in corporate America and just any

1:32:17.439 --> 1:32:20.559
<v Speaker 1>professional capacity. Your reputations everything because the Internet, no, all

1:32:20.600 --> 1:32:23.640
<v Speaker 1>of our reputations follow us everywhere. So this letter from

1:32:23.680 --> 1:32:27.800
<v Speaker 1>these hundred French women has the following quote. This expedited

1:32:27.920 --> 1:32:32.160
<v Speaker 1>justice already has its victims, men prevented from practicing their

1:32:32.200 --> 1:32:36.479
<v Speaker 1>professions as punishment, forced to resign, while the only thing

1:32:36.600 --> 1:32:40.080
<v Speaker 1>they did wrong was touching a knee, trying to steal

1:32:40.120 --> 1:32:43.639
<v Speaker 1>a kiss, or speaking about intimate things at a work dinner,

1:32:44.240 --> 1:32:47.439
<v Speaker 1>or sending messages with sexual connotations to a woman whose

1:32:47.479 --> 1:32:53.920
<v Speaker 1>feelings were not mutual. End quote. So you know, I've

1:32:53.960 --> 1:32:55.679
<v Speaker 1>been warning about this for a while because it's obvious

1:32:55.720 --> 1:32:58.000
<v Speaker 1>this was going to happen, but it's true. I mean,

1:32:58.040 --> 1:32:59.680
<v Speaker 1>somebody else needs to stand up and say, you know,

1:33:00.640 --> 1:33:04.680
<v Speaker 1>if somebody leans in for a kiss and you know

1:33:04.840 --> 1:33:09.080
<v Speaker 1>it's unrequited or you know it's not the responses hey,

1:33:09.200 --> 1:33:10.720
<v Speaker 1>no that I don't think of you that way, or

1:33:10.800 --> 1:33:13.560
<v Speaker 1>we work together, we shouldn't. The guy backs off and

1:33:13.600 --> 1:33:15.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like, I'm sorry, I miss let us to the

1:33:15.040 --> 1:33:17.320
<v Speaker 1>situation and then continues to be a you know, a

1:33:18.040 --> 1:33:20.240
<v Speaker 1>respectful human being and a professional. Doesn't make him a

1:33:20.280 --> 1:33:24.240
<v Speaker 1>bad guy. Actually just makes him a guy. That's the truth.

1:33:25.160 --> 1:33:26.960
<v Speaker 1>That's that's gonna I mean, I'm assuming the guy is

1:33:27.000 --> 1:33:28.880
<v Speaker 1>not married and the woman is not married, but you know,

1:33:29.520 --> 1:33:32.240
<v Speaker 1>just makes him a guy. And that's been kind of

1:33:32.320 --> 1:33:35.200
<v Speaker 1>lost in all this. You know, this is people are

1:33:35.280 --> 1:33:41.160
<v Speaker 1>saying some some pretty uh this concerting stuff about oh,

1:33:41.400 --> 1:33:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, somebody made a comment you know, a long

1:33:43.120 --> 1:33:45.360
<v Speaker 1>time ago. Look, you know this woman who wrote this

1:33:45.439 --> 1:33:49.719
<v Speaker 1>whole piece about Matt Lower. Yeah, Matt Lower is married

1:33:49.760 --> 1:33:51.720
<v Speaker 1>and he's gross and he is a pig, and he

1:33:51.760 --> 1:33:55.280
<v Speaker 1>should have been tossed a long time ago. But you know,

1:33:55.640 --> 1:33:58.680
<v Speaker 1>she chose to have an affair with this guy. And

1:33:59.520 --> 1:34:02.439
<v Speaker 1>there was never or any like you better or else.

1:34:02.560 --> 1:34:04.760
<v Speaker 1>It was just you know, he caught her eye, she

1:34:04.880 --> 1:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>caught his eye, and then then off into the break room.

1:34:08.479 --> 1:34:12.240
<v Speaker 1>They went, I mean, it's bad behavior, to be sure,

1:34:12.400 --> 1:34:16.160
<v Speaker 1>but that's not in the same category like the Weinstein stuff.

1:34:16.240 --> 1:34:18.439
<v Speaker 1>And that woman is not some martyr for the call

1:34:18.600 --> 1:34:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I ain't. I don't know this is this has gotten

1:34:22.000 --> 1:34:24.160
<v Speaker 1>out of control. These the French women see it that way.

1:34:24.200 --> 1:34:28.160
<v Speaker 1>That sign this letter at least, so there's that. We'll

1:34:28.200 --> 1:34:32.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about the Obama Presidential Library, all the first drawings

1:34:32.520 --> 1:34:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of it today. We can discuss that it's a library

1:34:35.320 --> 1:34:37.800
<v Speaker 1>apparently that's not gonna have any books. I mean that,

1:34:38.000 --> 1:34:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what they're saying. We'll be back, okay, winfree for president.

1:34:42.320 --> 1:34:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Your thoughts? You know? It wasn't that a fabulous speech?

1:34:47.439 --> 1:34:52.759
<v Speaker 1>And hearing Oprah's voice and her energy and her passion

1:34:53.000 --> 1:34:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and her determination, it's inspiring. Is the country hungry for

1:34:58.040 --> 1:35:07.719
<v Speaker 1>another mega celebrity billionaire? I don't know, Hey, Elizabeth Warren,

1:35:07.800 --> 1:35:12.320
<v Speaker 1>not sure if Oprah's Oprah's the next president of the

1:35:12.400 --> 1:35:13.840
<v Speaker 1>United States or not. I don't know why. I just

1:35:13.880 --> 1:35:15.080
<v Speaker 1>want to play this because I want to make fun

1:35:15.080 --> 1:35:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of Lizabeth Warren mostly, and also Ocean Camarontum. Hello. But

1:35:23.040 --> 1:35:27.200
<v Speaker 1>then you had Elizabeth Warren there too. That just amation

1:35:27.479 --> 1:35:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh gosh, it was so good. She's about as charming

1:35:33.560 --> 1:35:36.720
<v Speaker 1>as Hillary. That Elizabeth Warren about his charming Hillary, which

1:35:36.760 --> 1:35:40.240
<v Speaker 1>is is saying quite something, isn't it. I like the

1:35:40.280 --> 1:35:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump said that he would beat Opra, but then he's like,

1:35:41.920 --> 1:35:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I like Oprah, Opra is cool. So you know, it's

1:35:44.920 --> 1:35:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Rob's Trump's a good guy. Everyone needs to calm down,

1:35:47.560 --> 1:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not the coast. Have a few laughs.

1:35:50.840 --> 1:35:52.760
<v Speaker 1>It's not that bad, and you're gonna hang out with Trump.

1:35:52.800 --> 1:35:54.800
<v Speaker 1>It's good everyone, you know, I know, you know, But

1:35:55.479 --> 1:35:57.320
<v Speaker 1>people don't listen to the show. We need more Democrats

1:35:57.400 --> 1:35:59.479
<v Speaker 1>listen to the show. We can convert them here. This

1:35:59.640 --> 1:36:03.840
<v Speaker 1>is like a Democrat conversion tank. You know. We can

1:36:03.920 --> 1:36:07.439
<v Speaker 1>convert democrats here to to being not even Republicans, just

1:36:07.560 --> 1:36:10.599
<v Speaker 1>being sane people who understand politics in the world around

1:36:10.640 --> 1:36:12.840
<v Speaker 1>them better. Maybe that should be something we take on here,

1:36:12.840 --> 1:36:17.400
<v Speaker 1>a special project, the Freedom Hunt Conversion Project. We we

1:36:17.520 --> 1:36:21.479
<v Speaker 1>convert Democrats to a conservatives or Republicans. I don't I

1:36:21.960 --> 1:36:23.599
<v Speaker 1>hope we've kind of moved past that for a while,

1:36:23.640 --> 1:36:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and it was so much more fashionable to say conservative

1:36:25.880 --> 1:36:28.640
<v Speaker 1>than Republican. I'm like, yeah, I know, conservatism is the

1:36:28.680 --> 1:36:31.920
<v Speaker 1>ideology Republican is the party. But yeah, come on, right,

1:36:33.200 --> 1:36:35.000
<v Speaker 1>parsing a little bit reminds people who are like, well's

1:36:35.000 --> 1:36:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not a democracy, it's a republic. Yeah, but when

1:36:38.240 --> 1:36:40.080
<v Speaker 1>we say you know, our democracy, we mean that in

1:36:40.160 --> 1:36:43.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of a general way. Right, people are about to

1:36:43.040 --> 1:36:45.040
<v Speaker 1>eat on me. No, we don't. I know, I know,

1:36:46.360 --> 1:36:48.760
<v Speaker 1>same thing, all right, So I toltdally. I was gonna

1:36:48.760 --> 1:36:50.080
<v Speaker 1>talk about something else, and then I just wanted to

1:36:50.120 --> 1:36:53.639
<v Speaker 1>play the word. Oh yeah, the Obama Presidential Library. How

1:36:53.760 --> 1:36:57.600
<v Speaker 1>could I forget? Uh. The latest of that is that

1:36:57.680 --> 1:37:02.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a a schematic a drawing that's out the show.

1:37:02.800 --> 1:37:05.680
<v Speaker 1>It's this very large. It looks like, h it really

1:37:05.720 --> 1:37:09.000
<v Speaker 1>looks like a monument more than a library. Um, maybe

1:37:09.080 --> 1:37:12.320
<v Speaker 1>that's intentional, but here's what the Fox is reporting on this.

1:37:12.400 --> 1:37:16.120
<v Speaker 1>The Obama Foundation is taking an unconventional approach to the

1:37:16.280 --> 1:37:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Presidential Center and library being planned in Chicago. It's opting

1:37:20.320 --> 1:37:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to host a digital archive of President Barack Obama's records,

1:37:24.280 --> 1:37:26.840
<v Speaker 1>but not keep his hard copy manuscripts and letters and

1:37:26.920 --> 1:37:30.360
<v Speaker 1>other documents on site. That means no thumbing through the

1:37:30.439 --> 1:37:34.679
<v Speaker 1>ex president's correspondence on the health care fight or first

1:37:34.760 --> 1:37:37.679
<v Speaker 1>drafts of a state of the Union address end quote. Okay,

1:37:37.760 --> 1:37:41.479
<v Speaker 1>so maybe I'm missing something here. But if you're gonna

1:37:41.560 --> 1:37:46.480
<v Speaker 1>have just a digital storage facility of Obama's presidential documents,

1:37:47.160 --> 1:37:50.479
<v Speaker 1>I think that's called the computer. What am I missing?

1:37:51.280 --> 1:37:54.120
<v Speaker 1>You don't need enormous building if you're not actually gonna

1:37:54.200 --> 1:37:58.080
<v Speaker 1>keep stuff in it. Ah, but sure enough, I'm sure

1:37:58.160 --> 1:38:01.000
<v Speaker 1>there will be, uh, there will be some stuff in

1:38:01.080 --> 1:38:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the Obama Presidential Library. It just kind of it seems

1:38:04.280 --> 1:38:05.599
<v Speaker 1>kind of fitting in a weird way to other than

1:38:05.640 --> 1:38:11.240
<v Speaker 1>it that the Obama administration's uh building dedicated towards books

1:38:11.560 --> 1:38:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and and study and transparency is actually gonna be a

1:38:16.840 --> 1:38:20.000
<v Speaker 1>digital archive, and that means they're gonna use it for

1:38:20.080 --> 1:38:23.400
<v Speaker 1>other stuff. It's it's not going to be a library

1:38:23.520 --> 1:38:26.600
<v Speaker 1>per se. It's gonna be a huge building built to

1:38:26.640 --> 1:38:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the greatness of Obama and his administration without books in it.

1:38:32.160 --> 1:38:34.600
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a lot of I don't I don't know.

1:38:34.600 --> 1:38:36.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what they're gonna keep there. I mean, look,

1:38:36.680 --> 1:38:40.560
<v Speaker 1>we all know this, right data storage on in the

1:38:40.640 --> 1:38:43.320
<v Speaker 1>in the digital era. You know, you could fit all

1:38:43.400 --> 1:38:47.439
<v Speaker 1>the all the Obama documents on one computer pretty easily,

1:38:47.520 --> 1:38:49.479
<v Speaker 1>probably on a thumb drive. I don't know how good

1:38:49.520 --> 1:38:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the thumb drive is anyway, This is just kind of

1:38:52.200 --> 1:38:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a random thing they've got going on there. Now we've

1:38:54.160 --> 1:38:58.880
<v Speaker 1>also got we got this video from I think I

1:38:58.920 --> 1:39:01.320
<v Speaker 1>have time to do this too before you close up

1:39:01.360 --> 1:39:02.880
<v Speaker 1>shop and the Freedom Hut come up here Shore like

1:39:03.080 --> 1:39:09.120

1:39:17.280 --> 1:39:20.439
<v Speaker 1>send me an email today. I'm getting confused. I like

1:39:20.560 --> 1:39:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Ammy Ammi's got he's got Gusto. But we got this

1:39:24.439 --> 1:39:29.800
<v Speaker 1>video from Campus Reform also a great group asking Antifa Antifa.

1:39:30.800 --> 1:39:32.200
<v Speaker 1>We need to get that drop. We need to have

1:39:32.320 --> 1:39:34.680
<v Speaker 1>that ready to go. Whatever we can trump with Antifa,

1:39:35.520 --> 1:39:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I'll pull that Antifa. But you've got a bunch of

1:39:39.920 --> 1:39:43.000
<v Speaker 1>people being asked by Campus Reform who are they're so

1:39:43.120 --> 1:39:47.040
<v Speaker 1>called anti fascists on campus? What is fascism? A great

1:39:47.120 --> 1:39:50.040
<v Speaker 1>question to ask anti fascists. Here's what they said, How

1:39:50.080 --> 1:39:58.599
<v Speaker 1>would you define what fascism is? I don't know. Fascists,

1:39:58.640 --> 1:40:02.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It's not an easy thing to define.

1:40:02.800 --> 1:40:06.120
<v Speaker 1>How would you define fascism. Um, I don't really want

1:40:06.160 --> 1:40:08.800
<v Speaker 1>to get into all that. I mean, you can't define

1:40:08.840 --> 1:40:10.800
<v Speaker 1>it though, I don't want to talk about it right now.

1:40:11.200 --> 1:40:19.479
<v Speaker 1>Fascism is increasingly upward. Um hier anarchical model that preface

1:40:19.600 --> 1:40:27.000
<v Speaker 1>that puts white people and European people at the top.

1:40:27.360 --> 1:40:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I would I would like to take their platform away.

1:40:29.160 --> 1:40:33.280
<v Speaker 1>It sounds kind of fascist. I'm not the government. Yeah,

1:40:33.360 --> 1:40:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if you really can call any of

1:40:36.000 --> 1:40:41.960
<v Speaker 1>that a definition or even a vague understanding of what

1:40:42.479 --> 1:40:45.320
<v Speaker 1>what we would say. Yeah, I don't think. Yeah, I

1:40:45.360 --> 1:40:47.639
<v Speaker 1>don't think if any idea what fascism is. I think

1:40:47.920 --> 1:40:52.240
<v Speaker 1>antifa is supposed to be cool, and because antifa is

1:40:52.280 --> 1:40:54.559
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be cool, they want to be a part

1:40:54.600 --> 1:40:56.639
<v Speaker 1>of it. And they know that antifa is anti Trump.

1:40:57.200 --> 1:40:59.559
<v Speaker 1>You know Trump is a fascist in what way exactly? Well,

1:40:59.600 --> 1:41:01.120
<v Speaker 1>they can't. How can they know because they don't know

1:41:01.160 --> 1:41:03.920
<v Speaker 1>what fascism is. I thought that was funny too. It's

1:41:03.960 --> 1:41:06.040
<v Speaker 1>it putting European people at the top. It's like, well,

1:41:06.720 --> 1:41:09.920
<v Speaker 1>so fascism in Italy, yeah, I mean it was about

1:41:10.720 --> 1:41:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, ultra nationalism for Italians, but you know, it

1:41:15.080 --> 1:41:17.600
<v Speaker 1>was a political system inside of Europe. I mean that

1:41:18.000 --> 1:41:20.559
<v Speaker 1>they have no idea what they're talking about, none whatsoever,

1:41:20.680 --> 1:41:23.760
<v Speaker 1>which is not surprising. But you'd think they might teach,

1:41:23.960 --> 1:41:26.320
<v Speaker 1>they might teach the kids on a college campus something

1:41:26.360 --> 1:41:28.840
<v Speaker 1>about fascism. I mean, I would tell you that in

1:41:28.960 --> 1:41:32.960
<v Speaker 1>my day as a policy major, and I trash policize

1:41:33.000 --> 1:41:35.120
<v Speaker 1>a major on a preregular basis, just because I like to.

1:41:36.160 --> 1:41:37.800
<v Speaker 1>If you had asked me about, you know, what's a

1:41:37.960 --> 1:41:40.519
<v Speaker 1>what's the working definition of communism? What's a working definition

1:41:40.560 --> 1:41:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of fascism? If it wasn't picture perfect, it would have

1:41:43.439 --> 1:41:45.479
<v Speaker 1>been good enough, you know, it would would have gotten close.

1:41:46.600 --> 1:41:49.559
<v Speaker 1>But these days, just to be a part of the movement,

1:41:49.600 --> 1:41:51.720
<v Speaker 1>just to see these people dressing in all black and

1:41:51.800 --> 1:41:55.040
<v Speaker 1>opposing Trump, that's what it's really about. And I even

1:41:55.240 --> 1:41:58.759
<v Speaker 1>I even download I read that book, The Anti Fascist Handbook,

1:41:59.479 --> 1:42:03.000
<v Speaker 1>which is pretty long, i gotta say, and and pretty

1:42:03.120 --> 1:42:05.280
<v Speaker 1>delusional in some of its stances. But it does go

1:42:05.400 --> 1:42:07.559
<v Speaker 1>into the history of anti fascism, which was kind of interesting.

1:42:07.720 --> 1:42:10.200
<v Speaker 1>So there's even a book written by a leftist for

1:42:10.439 --> 1:42:12.760
<v Speaker 1>these leftists. They can download it on kindle it man.

1:42:12.800 --> 1:42:16.519
<v Speaker 1>It might maybe even get a student discount. No idea whatsoever.

1:42:17.840 --> 1:42:20.639
<v Speaker 1>It's just all about what's politically fashionable, my friends. That's

1:42:20.760 --> 1:42:24.639
<v Speaker 1>that's what drives so much of this. Um, I'm gonna

1:42:25.120 --> 1:42:27.439
<v Speaker 1>go roll into a quick break here. When I come back,

1:42:27.520 --> 1:42:29.640
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna close up the Freedom Hut. Maybe talk a

1:42:29.680 --> 1:42:32.880
<v Speaker 1>little about the Shields High podcast, which is amazing. Please

1:42:32.960 --> 1:42:35.840
<v Speaker 1>check that out when you get a chance. On iTunes

1:42:36.080 --> 1:42:39.680
<v Speaker 1>or on the I Heart app iTunes, you can subscribe

1:42:39.720 --> 1:42:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Shields High. Just type it in and share with a friend.

1:42:42.200 --> 1:42:44.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back. And I was just telling the

1:42:44.280 --> 1:42:47.519
<v Speaker 1>team here before that. You know you're you're getting up there.

1:42:47.640 --> 1:42:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm thirty six now, and this morning I thought

1:42:51.120 --> 1:42:52.519
<v Speaker 1>I had it all figured out. You know, I had

1:42:52.520 --> 1:42:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a very busy but productive day planned. We'll woke up

1:42:56.200 --> 1:42:59.080
<v Speaker 1>feeling good, ready to go. I was in Baltimore yesterday.

1:42:59.080 --> 1:43:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I got in late last night, and sure enough, I

1:43:02.400 --> 1:43:04.920
<v Speaker 1>reach up because I did a hit on Fox News

1:43:05.680 --> 1:43:07.479
<v Speaker 1>this morning to talk some of you may have seen it,

1:43:07.560 --> 1:43:14.479
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the encryption debate, and I managed I

1:43:15.160 --> 1:43:17.920
<v Speaker 1>feel like I think I heard something like a pop,

1:43:18.040 --> 1:43:20.719
<v Speaker 1>but that just might be my my mind playing tricks

1:43:20.760 --> 1:43:23.080
<v Speaker 1>on me. But I reached up and something along the

1:43:23.120 --> 1:43:24.880
<v Speaker 1>side of my neck. It felt like someone stabbed me

1:43:24.960 --> 1:43:26.880
<v Speaker 1>with a knife. And then I started thinking about all

1:43:26.880 --> 1:43:28.479
<v Speaker 1>these things that I'm told, like, you need to do

1:43:28.640 --> 1:43:32.240
<v Speaker 1>more yoga, you need to stretch. You know, You're can't

1:43:32.280 --> 1:43:35.280
<v Speaker 1>just go out there weekend warrior doing your lifting the

1:43:35.320 --> 1:43:38.840
<v Speaker 1>weights and stuff and not do some stretching. And it's true,

1:43:39.200 --> 1:43:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't stretch enough yoga. I always feel like I'm

1:43:42.360 --> 1:43:44.360
<v Speaker 1>about to have a heart attacked everything. So that's probably

1:43:44.360 --> 1:43:45.880
<v Speaker 1>not a I'm not sure that's the thing that I

1:43:45.920 --> 1:43:48.920
<v Speaker 1>should really push too much, because it's just for me.

1:43:49.040 --> 1:43:52.200
<v Speaker 1>For whatever reason, being still and quiet makes me feel

1:43:52.240 --> 1:43:54.960
<v Speaker 1>more anxious. Maybe one of the reasons I love radio

1:43:55.080 --> 1:43:57.920
<v Speaker 1>so much is that it's constant thought and action, and

1:43:58.120 --> 1:44:00.400
<v Speaker 1>that you're talking and thinking and talking into thinking and

1:44:00.960 --> 1:44:03.800
<v Speaker 1>it goes on for a while, unlike TV, which is

1:44:03.840 --> 1:44:06.240
<v Speaker 1>like you're on talk for thirty seconds, you're done. It's

1:44:06.240 --> 1:44:09.400
<v Speaker 1>a very different, very different approach. But yeah, I pulled

1:44:09.479 --> 1:44:12.760
<v Speaker 1>something nasty in my neck, which is great because when

1:44:12.760 --> 1:44:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I get home later, I'll just be like ms Molly,

1:44:14.960 --> 1:44:17.040
<v Speaker 1>can I have a neck rob please? It should be

1:44:17.080 --> 1:44:19.040
<v Speaker 1>like I I worked hard all day too, buddy, go

1:44:19.760 --> 1:44:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you can go rub your own neck. So what was

1:44:22.960 --> 1:44:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I gonna on the I didn't really get into this

1:44:26.120 --> 1:44:29.280
<v Speaker 1>because it doesn't seem to be catching a lot of

1:44:29.880 --> 1:44:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the attention in the headlines today. But on that dispute

1:44:33.280 --> 1:44:38.439
<v Speaker 1>between law enforcement and the tech companies that I talked

1:44:38.479 --> 1:44:42.880
<v Speaker 1>about on Fox Today this morning on America's Newsroom. Sanda

1:44:42.960 --> 1:44:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Smith and Bill Hammer are two of the two of

1:44:45.720 --> 1:44:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the greats, really great people in the news media business,

1:44:49.040 --> 1:44:51.800
<v Speaker 1>by the way. But the debate's really interesting. It's one

1:44:51.800 --> 1:44:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of the few places I find myself really going back

1:44:56.840 --> 1:45:01.240
<v Speaker 1>and forth between, well, which side of this is, which

1:45:01.280 --> 1:45:04.599
<v Speaker 1>side has the stronger argument? So here's the the summary

1:45:04.760 --> 1:45:09.160
<v Speaker 1>version of it, and it's and this hopefully this isn't

1:45:09.160 --> 1:45:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the leave talking because I took some of that earlier today.

1:45:11.920 --> 1:45:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I know I'm winding a lot, I'm wanting a lot,

1:45:13.840 --> 1:45:15.320
<v Speaker 1>But this is what happens. You come, you hang out

1:45:15.320 --> 1:45:16.760
<v Speaker 1>with me and not and I'm gonna wind to all

1:45:16.760 --> 1:45:22.360
<v Speaker 1>of you. Uh. The the the people who are worried

1:45:22.400 --> 1:45:26.400
<v Speaker 1>about encryption on devices, right, they refer to this as

1:45:26.439 --> 1:45:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the going dark quote going dark phenomenon and law enforcement FBI,

1:45:31.600 --> 1:45:35.599
<v Speaker 1>current FBI Director Ray and and previous f FBI director

1:45:36.400 --> 1:45:41.479
<v Speaker 1>Comey Boo. Uh. They say that they've had a few thousand.

1:45:41.560 --> 1:45:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I forget the exact number, it's under ten thousand, but

1:45:43.680 --> 1:45:47.280
<v Speaker 1>it's in the thousands of instances where law enforcement wanted

1:45:47.360 --> 1:45:51.680
<v Speaker 1>access to a device of some kind that they just

1:45:51.760 --> 1:45:55.840
<v Speaker 1>couldn't break the encryption on, and it brought there, it

1:45:56.000 --> 1:46:00.880
<v Speaker 1>brought their um investigation to us and still, if not

1:46:01.000 --> 1:46:04.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe to a total halt. So they're saying, look, we

1:46:04.240 --> 1:46:06.800
<v Speaker 1>need a way that we can get into not just

1:46:06.920 --> 1:46:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the device now, but also end to end encryption, because

1:46:10.240 --> 1:46:13.360
<v Speaker 1>it's become very easy to download and get an app

1:46:13.520 --> 1:46:15.760
<v Speaker 1>that encrypts your information, you send it to somebody else,

1:46:15.840 --> 1:46:19.160
<v Speaker 1>it's encrypted on their device too. So I believe, and

1:46:19.280 --> 1:46:21.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a I'm not a tech expert by any means,

1:46:21.960 --> 1:46:24.839
<v Speaker 1>but I believe that that means that the the usual

1:46:25.320 --> 1:46:29.519
<v Speaker 1>weak point of communication that law enforcement had an easy

1:46:29.600 --> 1:46:34.160
<v Speaker 1>time exploiting for investigation purposes is that when you send

1:46:34.320 --> 1:46:37.200
<v Speaker 1>something it can you know, they know where, they know

1:46:37.360 --> 1:46:38.920
<v Speaker 1>where it went through, they know what time, they know

1:46:39.000 --> 1:46:43.679
<v Speaker 1>what It was very very easy, right, But if it's

1:46:43.800 --> 1:46:46.200
<v Speaker 1>encrypted and they can't break that encryption, now you got

1:46:46.280 --> 1:46:48.639
<v Speaker 1>a real problem because it's not just oh, I can't

1:46:48.680 --> 1:46:50.960
<v Speaker 1>get into someone's device to see their photos or see

1:46:51.000 --> 1:46:53.519
<v Speaker 1>what they've stored on their device. It's people can now

1:46:53.640 --> 1:46:58.040
<v Speaker 1>communicate without law enforcement necessarily be being able to get

1:46:58.080 --> 1:47:01.200
<v Speaker 1>into Now big question then the question that I have,

1:47:01.439 --> 1:47:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not sure we could ever really get answers

1:47:03.320 --> 1:47:05.840
<v Speaker 1>to this. When they say that it brings them to

1:47:06.280 --> 1:47:09.280
<v Speaker 1>a halter a standstill, do they mean they can't get

1:47:09.360 --> 1:47:11.800
<v Speaker 1>in at all, the FBI can't get in at all,

1:47:11.920 --> 1:47:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to the encryption or uh, you know, the device, or

1:47:15.920 --> 1:47:18.240
<v Speaker 1>that it's hard, that it's annoying. I think that's a

1:47:18.360 --> 1:47:22.920
<v Speaker 1>very important distinguishing characteristic. Uh, that's not something I'm sure

1:47:22.960 --> 1:47:24.639
<v Speaker 1>the FBI is gonna tell us one way or the other.

1:47:24.920 --> 1:47:27.439
<v Speaker 1>You remember in the San Bernardino case, from that horrible

1:47:27.520 --> 1:47:30.840
<v Speaker 1>jeehottest terror attack in California, a whole bunch of people

1:47:30.920 --> 1:47:35.200
<v Speaker 1>shot and killed at a holiday party by two jee

1:47:35.200 --> 1:47:38.760
<v Speaker 1>hottest in this country. Uh, they couldn't get into the device,

1:47:38.840 --> 1:47:41.080
<v Speaker 1>but then eventually, and they wanted to make Apple do it,

1:47:41.240 --> 1:47:44.760
<v Speaker 1>then they found a way in any way. So that's

1:47:45.360 --> 1:47:47.240
<v Speaker 1>that's an example I think of what we're gonna see here,

1:47:47.280 --> 1:47:48.720
<v Speaker 1>which is that if they really want to get in,

1:47:48.880 --> 1:47:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I believe law enforcement, the federal government's gonna find a

1:47:51.200 --> 1:47:52.400
<v Speaker 1>way to get in, but they want to be able

1:47:52.400 --> 1:47:55.559
<v Speaker 1>to get in easily. The other side of this, though,

1:47:55.640 --> 1:47:57.639
<v Speaker 1>so that that's the going dark phenomenon, is that you're

1:47:57.640 --> 1:48:02.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna have you know, child sex traffickers, terrorists, I mean,

1:48:02.760 --> 1:48:05.719
<v Speaker 1>the worst of the worst of the worst being able

1:48:05.800 --> 1:48:11.559
<v Speaker 1>to hide their information and hide their communications from law

1:48:11.680 --> 1:48:13.400
<v Speaker 1>enforcement in a way that will make all of us.

1:48:13.479 --> 1:48:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Let's say that's the case for the that's why going

1:48:15.720 --> 1:48:18.600
<v Speaker 1>darkness is such a problem. The other side, you have

1:48:18.680 --> 1:48:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the backdoor phenomenon, which is what Apple and uh Facebook

1:48:25.080 --> 1:48:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and Amazon, all these all the different mega as well

1:48:28.040 --> 1:48:32.240
<v Speaker 1>as some more boutique ones that specialize in encryption and

1:48:32.360 --> 1:48:36.800
<v Speaker 1>in the creation of encryption apps and everything else. They're saying, Okay,

1:48:36.880 --> 1:48:39.720
<v Speaker 1>so what you're what you're telling us federal government, is

1:48:39.840 --> 1:48:44.839
<v Speaker 1>that our entire business model is premised along the lines

1:48:45.080 --> 1:48:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of creating safe and secure information storage and transfer, and

1:48:49.680 --> 1:48:53.519
<v Speaker 1>you want us to put purposefully put holes back doors

1:48:53.880 --> 1:48:57.280
<v Speaker 1>into that technology. And they're like, look, there's no way

1:48:57.439 --> 1:49:00.120
<v Speaker 1>that we can put because what they always say is

1:49:00.360 --> 1:49:04.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not like uh Facebook or in the better cases

1:49:04.040 --> 1:49:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Apple r because they're encryption is really really excellent. It's

1:49:07.280 --> 1:49:10.160
<v Speaker 1>not like Apple saying, Oh, we could get into that

1:49:10.280 --> 1:49:14.720
<v Speaker 1>guy's phone, but we won't. FBI sorry, Apple saying we

1:49:14.880 --> 1:49:17.439
<v Speaker 1>can't do it because we build it so that we

1:49:17.560 --> 1:49:21.640
<v Speaker 1>can't do it. It's almost like this is a locksmith,

1:49:22.640 --> 1:49:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and the locksmith is saying, yeah, I don't keep keys.

1:49:26.640 --> 1:49:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I make a key for somebody and to give them

1:49:28.200 --> 1:49:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the key. I don't keep a set of their keys

1:49:30.520 --> 1:49:32.720
<v Speaker 1>in case somebody else wants to get into their apartment. Later,

1:49:33.040 --> 1:49:35.439
<v Speaker 1>the FBI is like, oh, no, locksmith, you have to

1:49:35.520 --> 1:49:39.360
<v Speaker 1>make a master key for everything that we can get

1:49:39.439 --> 1:49:41.840
<v Speaker 1>whenever we want. You know. I think when you put

1:49:41.920 --> 1:49:44.639
<v Speaker 1>it in those terms that an analogy is pretty apt here.

1:49:45.520 --> 1:49:50.600
<v Speaker 1>And not only is that creating a back door that

1:49:50.680 --> 1:49:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the FBI or the federal government can use whenever it wants,

1:49:54.680 --> 1:49:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you know. And there's a lot we start to seeing this,

1:49:56.760 --> 1:49:59.360
<v Speaker 1>see this with a counterintelligence investigation with Trump and the

1:49:59.560 --> 1:50:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Russia all that stuff. There's a lot of ways that

1:50:03.960 --> 1:50:06.280
<v Speaker 1>your Fourth Amendment rights can be abused, and the federal

1:50:06.360 --> 1:50:08.720
<v Speaker 1>government has not been good about this really in the

1:50:08.840 --> 1:50:12.960
<v Speaker 1>post nine eleven Patriot Act era. There there's been some abuse,

1:50:13.000 --> 1:50:16.680
<v Speaker 1>there's been some problems, but even beyond that, it's like

1:50:17.439 --> 1:50:20.479
<v Speaker 1>creating a weak spot and security system that can be

1:50:20.520 --> 1:50:24.280
<v Speaker 1>exploited by anybody else. So not only is the FBI

1:50:24.479 --> 1:50:26.840
<v Speaker 1>telling Apple, oh, we need you to be able to

1:50:26.880 --> 1:50:28.519
<v Speaker 1>get into this when we tell you with a court

1:50:28.640 --> 1:50:31.639
<v Speaker 1>order two, but it means that somebody else, some third

1:50:31.680 --> 1:50:35.400
<v Speaker 1>party I don't know, Russian or North Korean hackers, they

1:50:35.479 --> 1:50:38.400
<v Speaker 1>can look for that weakness and exploit it and they

1:50:38.439 --> 1:50:40.559
<v Speaker 1>can get into your stuff and erase all your data

1:50:40.920 --> 1:50:44.920
<v Speaker 1>or steal all your funds. Because the FBI wants a

1:50:45.240 --> 1:50:49.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, wants an easier time getting into a few thousands,

1:50:50.280 --> 1:50:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, a few thousand phones over there. It's a

1:50:53.800 --> 1:50:55.960
<v Speaker 1>this is a tough call. I really I view it

1:50:56.040 --> 1:50:57.680
<v Speaker 1>as a as a tough call. I don't see an

1:50:57.720 --> 1:51:02.840
<v Speaker 1>easy answer here. So that's uh. That was from this

1:51:02.960 --> 1:51:04.800
<v Speaker 1>morning on Fox. In case you missed it, I should

1:51:04.840 --> 1:51:06.840
<v Speaker 1>have probably gotten a copy of the clip to put

1:51:06.920 --> 1:51:11.360
<v Speaker 1>up on Facebook. By the way, the Shields High podcast

1:51:11.520 --> 1:51:13.960
<v Speaker 1>is doing very well. It's getting the folks over here
