10
00:00:50,977 --> 00:00:54,257
Speaker 1: it's an honor, and not just because apparently you're going

11
00:00:54,297 --> 00:00:56,857
Speaker 1: to be playing the Nicholas Cage role and Lord of

12
00:00:56,857 --> 00:01:00,977
Speaker 1: War two. Yeah, I thought it was. I wish it

13
00:01:01,057 --> 00:01:04,217
Speaker 1: was true. It's such a cool description. Unfortunately it's your date.

14
00:01:04,617 --> 00:01:06,817
Speaker 1: You know, it's bogus. I'm not as cool as that.

15
00:01:06,857 --> 00:01:08,737
Speaker 1: I wish I was. Yeah, you just got sometimes you

16
00:01:08,777 --> 00:01:11,577
Speaker 1: just got lean in your role, like, oh, apparently you know,

17
00:01:12,857 --> 00:01:16,537
Speaker 1: can I can I get you a whole box of

18
00:01:17,097 --> 00:01:20,537
Speaker 1: T ninety tanks? Maybe you know, can either confirm nor

19
00:01:20,617 --> 00:01:23,217
Speaker 1: deny you know how you know how we do it? John? Yeah,

20
00:01:23,697 --> 00:01:26,777
Speaker 1: I mean you can't say I can't. I don't know.

21
00:01:27,817 --> 00:01:31,977
Speaker 1: So I want to start with this one. Um, you're

22
00:01:31,977 --> 00:01:36,377
Speaker 1: a guy, you voted for Trump twice. You were, if anything,

23
00:01:36,577 --> 00:01:42,457
Speaker 1: somebody who uh in your in your very John Cardillo way,

24
00:01:43,417 --> 00:01:48,297
Speaker 1: we're on Twitter throwing punches in favor of Trump with

25
00:01:48,337 --> 00:01:51,137
Speaker 1: all of your might for all four years of his presidency,

26
00:01:51,217 --> 00:01:55,977
Speaker 1: just in case. And John's Twitter is spicy, not necessarily uh,

27
00:01:56,337 --> 00:01:59,337
Speaker 1: not necessarily for the for the workplace, but his his

28
00:01:59,417 --> 00:02:03,177
Speaker 1: Twitter family friendly, not necessarily family friendly Twitter. But but

29
00:02:03,337 --> 00:02:07,057
Speaker 1: he he calls it like he sees it. Um, Trump

30
00:02:07,097 --> 00:02:10,457
Speaker 1: has had a rough few months. He's running, He's had

31
00:02:10,497 --> 00:02:13,017
Speaker 1: a tough few months, I think in the messaging as

32
00:02:13,057 --> 00:02:16,057
Speaker 1: I speak to you, he's just done this trip out

33
00:02:16,057 --> 00:02:21,217
Speaker 1: to East Palastine. Yeah, is he getting more on track?

34
00:02:21,537 --> 00:02:26,937
Speaker 1: What is your assessment as a as a true blue

35
00:02:26,977 --> 00:02:30,457
Speaker 1: Trump supporter of the past and somebody who wants the

36
00:02:30,497 --> 00:02:35,137
Speaker 1: best for Trump and the GOP. Now, how's he doing well? Look,

37
00:02:35,177 --> 00:02:37,817
Speaker 1: you know, Buck, I was a vehement all these our vehement,

38
00:02:38,177 --> 00:02:41,017
Speaker 1: a vehement Trump supporter. I mean, like you say, you know,

39
00:02:41,617 --> 00:02:44,057
Speaker 1: trading punches. It happened to you, happen to many of us.

40
00:02:44,057 --> 00:02:47,457
Speaker 1: We lost friends over this, We lost business associates in

41
00:02:47,457 --> 00:02:50,417
Speaker 1: the media who are a bit more moderate maybe moving

42
00:02:50,457 --> 00:02:53,217
Speaker 1: center left even center right people at the time, where

43
00:02:53,217 --> 00:02:55,697
Speaker 1: a lot of them were never Trumpers, right if you

44
00:02:55,737 --> 00:02:59,417
Speaker 1: remember that they had their conservative purity tests and we

45
00:02:59,577 --> 00:03:03,097
Speaker 1: lost relationships, some permanently, some for many years. And unfortunately

46
00:03:03,137 --> 00:03:07,977
Speaker 1: those are healed. But what wound up? And I don't

47
00:03:07,977 --> 00:03:10,057
Speaker 1: want to see turning me off to returning me against Trump,

48
00:03:10,097 --> 00:03:12,457
Speaker 1: because I think he did incredible things for the United States. Look,

49
00:03:12,537 --> 00:03:14,257
Speaker 1: let me say that the good first. I think Donald

50
00:03:14,257 --> 00:03:16,017
Speaker 1: Trump is one of the most patriotic people ever to

51
00:03:16,057 --> 00:03:18,377
Speaker 1: hold the office. I think he truly loves America. He

52
00:03:18,417 --> 00:03:21,497
Speaker 1: gained great success in America, and the trip to East

53
00:03:21,497 --> 00:03:24,417
Speaker 1: Palestine was I thought exceptional. I thought it's exactly what

54
00:03:24,457 --> 00:03:27,857
Speaker 1: those people needed. I mean, could you imagine your water

55
00:03:27,937 --> 00:03:32,177
Speaker 1: supply having iridescent looked like oil slicks on top of it.

56
00:03:32,617 --> 00:03:34,737
Speaker 1: You don't know if your children are gonna come down

57
00:03:34,737 --> 00:03:38,457
Speaker 1: with terminal diseases, and the sitting president of the United States,

58
00:03:38,537 --> 00:03:42,257
Speaker 1: the incapacitated vegetable in chief, is over there in Ukraine.

59
00:03:42,617 --> 00:03:46,057
Speaker 1: Worried more about Ukraine than your kids in Ohio. So

60
00:03:46,177 --> 00:03:49,497
Speaker 1: Trump's trip I thought was a win. It was incredibly heartfelt.

61
00:03:49,897 --> 00:03:52,137
Speaker 1: He know a few people that have ever sat in

62
00:03:52,137 --> 00:03:55,657
Speaker 1: the Oval office, have emotionally connected with the American people

63
00:03:55,697 --> 00:03:57,577
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump. I mean, I'll get flamed by the

64
00:03:57,617 --> 00:03:59,137
Speaker 1: right for saying this, but I think to his base,

65
00:03:59,217 --> 00:04:02,417
Speaker 1: Barack Obama did, Ronald Reagan did in many respects, but

66
00:04:02,497 --> 00:04:06,417
Speaker 1: Trump really had an emotional connection. That's all the good.

67
00:04:06,937 --> 00:04:09,537
Speaker 1: I don't want to see him as president again. I

68
00:04:09,577 --> 00:04:11,617
Speaker 1: don't to see him as the nominee because I don't

69
00:04:11,617 --> 00:04:14,497
Speaker 1: think he can win. I don't believe mathematically he has

70
00:04:14,537 --> 00:04:16,937
Speaker 1: a path to two seventy. I travel the country quite

71
00:04:16,937 --> 00:04:20,217
Speaker 1: a bit. I think he's lost independence, non party affiliated

72
00:04:20,257 --> 00:04:23,897
Speaker 1: suburban women. I wish he would just stay on the

73
00:04:23,897 --> 00:04:27,297
Speaker 1: outside as a kingmaker. My number one that, my number

74
00:04:27,337 --> 00:04:30,737
Speaker 1: one reason for moving off Trump is that as good

75
00:04:30,737 --> 00:04:34,257
Speaker 1: as he was on so many things, his personnel acumen

76
00:04:34,657 --> 00:04:37,737
Speaker 1: was abysmal. And as far as I'm concerned, whether it

77
00:04:37,817 --> 00:04:42,417
Speaker 1: be business or politics, buck personnel, his policy and his

78
00:04:42,537 --> 00:04:47,817
Speaker 1: personnel decisions hiring Christopher Ray, abdicating his presidency afterwardly only

79
00:04:47,817 --> 00:04:51,017
Speaker 1: half a term. To Fauci, that's why he's a one

80
00:04:51,137 --> 00:04:52,857
Speaker 1: term was a one term president, or is a one

81
00:04:52,977 --> 00:04:57,337
Speaker 1: term president? Christopher Ray? Sure, but I mean I'm a

82
00:04:57,417 --> 00:05:03,457
Speaker 1: rosa Scaramucci. You know, Michael right, I'm pulled in two

83
00:05:03,457 --> 00:05:05,737
Speaker 1: of the big names out. But exactly you and I

84
00:05:05,737 --> 00:05:08,617
Speaker 1: could do an entire one hour on those names and

85
00:05:08,657 --> 00:05:11,857
Speaker 1: what the problems were one exactly. I have never seen

86
00:05:12,697 --> 00:05:18,937
Speaker 1: a white house before where so many people begged their

87
00:05:19,017 --> 00:05:23,177
Speaker 1: way in and then cashed in all after they left

88
00:05:23,257 --> 00:05:25,977
Speaker 1: or on their way out, by turning on the person

89
00:05:26,377 --> 00:05:30,097
Speaker 1: who gave them that big break, that role that quite honestly,

90
00:05:30,097 --> 00:05:33,657
Speaker 1: in many cases those people but through no objective measure,

91
00:05:33,657 --> 00:05:37,497
Speaker 1: could be considered to have earned through professional ability or

92
00:05:37,497 --> 00:05:40,697
Speaker 1: anything else. It was. It was amazing as a as

93
00:05:40,697 --> 00:05:44,817
Speaker 1: the circumstance played out so many times through the Trump Admunstian.

94
00:05:44,897 --> 00:05:46,537
Speaker 1: You notice he doesn't. I haven't heard him say I

95
00:05:46,617 --> 00:05:49,217
Speaker 1: hired the best people anymore. That that's not something I've heard.

96
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:51,697
Speaker 1: It's not something I've heard in a long time, because

97
00:05:51,697 --> 00:05:55,057
Speaker 1: I think that that's that's become a bit of a weakness.

98
00:05:55,057 --> 00:05:58,337
Speaker 1: And even among his base right now, we're talking within

99
00:05:58,377 --> 00:06:00,057
Speaker 1: the family, which I think is you know, forget about

100
00:06:00,137 --> 00:06:02,057
Speaker 1: the laft and everything else. I just mean even people

101
00:06:02,097 --> 00:06:04,057
Speaker 1: who are on the right, who I mean, I was

102
00:06:04,057 --> 00:06:08,377
Speaker 1: a two time Trump voter. I bore the hatred of

103
00:06:08,977 --> 00:06:11,257
Speaker 1: CNN when I was still contribute there for being a

104
00:06:11,297 --> 00:06:14,777
Speaker 1: Trump supporter there, basically got benched after a while because

105
00:06:14,817 --> 00:06:16,457
Speaker 1: I was just like, yeah, of course Trump, what's wrong

106
00:06:16,497 --> 00:06:21,737
Speaker 1: with you lunatics? But anyway, how is the campaign being run? Like?

107
00:06:21,737 --> 00:06:25,377
Speaker 1: Who's actually you actually understand it and know the people

108
00:06:25,617 --> 00:06:28,857
Speaker 1: who are moving the machinery? Who is who is the

109
00:06:28,857 --> 00:06:30,937
Speaker 1: Trump campaign other than Trump himself as far as we

110
00:06:30,977 --> 00:06:34,137
Speaker 1: know right now, Well, Susie Wiles, who is this campaign

111
00:06:34,137 --> 00:06:36,297
Speaker 1: manager last time around. She's his current chief of staff.

112
00:06:36,337 --> 00:06:39,697
Speaker 1: She's still very much in a position of major influence,

113
00:06:39,737 --> 00:06:43,457
Speaker 1: if not the most influential outside of family members. Billie

114
00:06:43,537 --> 00:06:47,017
Speaker 1: bars Epstein is on the campaign as well. Those are

115
00:06:47,017 --> 00:06:49,777
Speaker 1: the big names that are really calling the shots. I

116
00:06:49,897 --> 00:06:53,537
Speaker 1: think news item that Jason Miller, who was one of

117
00:06:53,537 --> 00:06:56,137
Speaker 1: his commons people in sixteen, he's back over there. So

118
00:06:56,177 --> 00:06:59,217
Speaker 1: there's a lot of replication from the sixteen campaign in

119
00:06:59,257 --> 00:07:02,377
Speaker 1: the twenty campaign. But I think one of his biggest

120
00:07:02,457 --> 00:07:07,097
Speaker 1: problems is his messaging. He's still using the twenty sixteen playbook,

121
00:07:07,577 --> 00:07:10,817
Speaker 1: and what worked in twenty sixteen is not going to

122
00:07:10,857 --> 00:07:13,057
Speaker 1: work in twenty twenty four. It's not going to work

123
00:07:13,377 --> 00:07:16,417
Speaker 1: in a post lockdown post COVID society because Trump is

124
00:07:16,417 --> 00:07:19,897
Speaker 1: out there still saying the vaccines were a great idea.

125
00:07:20,537 --> 00:07:22,977
Speaker 1: I saved one hundred million lives. Now, where were you

126
00:07:22,977 --> 00:07:26,137
Speaker 1: standing on the vaccines? I've been very vocally anti that vaccine.

127
00:07:26,857 --> 00:07:31,897
Speaker 1: His base is viciously anti that vaccine, and he seems

128
00:07:31,897 --> 00:07:34,577
Speaker 1: to be a bit tone deaf to them. And so

129
00:07:34,697 --> 00:07:37,457
Speaker 1: I think from a campaign standpoint, it seems to be

130
00:07:37,577 --> 00:07:39,857
Speaker 1: in a bit of disarray. You know, one of the

131
00:07:39,857 --> 00:07:43,657
Speaker 1: other reasons is really no fault to Trump's but and

132
00:07:43,737 --> 00:07:44,857
Speaker 1: you know this, we talked to a lot of the

133
00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:49,417
Speaker 1: same people offline. The DOJ made life such hell for

134
00:07:49,537 --> 00:07:53,417
Speaker 1: everyone around Trump that it's very difficult for him to

135
00:07:53,497 --> 00:07:55,497
Speaker 1: higher top tier people. It's even difficult for him at

136
00:07:55,537 --> 00:07:58,017
Speaker 1: this point point to hire top tier attorneys because the

137
00:07:58,057 --> 00:08:00,617
Speaker 1: big white chow law firms won't bring them in. They

138
00:08:00,617 --> 00:08:03,937
Speaker 1: won't offer them those very lucrative partnerships if they have

139
00:08:04,017 --> 00:08:07,137
Speaker 1: Trump on their resume. The same for the consulting firms

140
00:08:07,137 --> 00:08:09,657
Speaker 1: and the lobbying firms. So he's having a real hard

141
00:08:09,697 --> 00:08:12,417
Speaker 1: time I think getting that top talent for the infrastructure

142
00:08:12,457 --> 00:08:15,777
Speaker 1: you need to run the successful campaign he ran in sixteen,

143
00:08:16,657 --> 00:08:18,977
Speaker 1: but most importantly, if I have to point to one

144
00:08:19,017 --> 00:08:22,457
Speaker 1: person that I think was his most recent horrible personnel

145
00:08:22,537 --> 00:08:25,377
Speaker 1: decision and will lead to not just problems for him

146
00:08:25,417 --> 00:08:28,737
Speaker 1: and for the Republican Party, it's ron Romney McDaniel, the

147
00:08:28,777 --> 00:08:32,417
Speaker 1: g NC, the RNC chairwoman. This is a woman that

148
00:08:32,457 --> 00:08:35,777
Speaker 1: Trump found him sixteen. He wholeheartedly endorsed her in twenty

149
00:08:35,777 --> 00:08:38,617
Speaker 1: and unfortunately this time around, when it was between her

150
00:08:38,657 --> 00:08:42,017
Speaker 1: and his own lawyer, harn Meet Dylan was far more conservative,

151
00:08:42,017 --> 00:08:45,617
Speaker 1: far more hardcore. Trump pet Susie Wiles and others out there,

152
00:08:45,777 --> 00:08:48,217
Speaker 1: and it became very public whipping votes to keep Rona

153
00:08:48,297 --> 00:08:51,697
Speaker 1: McDaniel in power, the same woman that did nothing. It

154
00:08:51,857 --> 00:08:56,377
Speaker 1: did nothing to Dans vote integrity. Give me the why

155
00:08:56,457 --> 00:09:00,937
Speaker 1: Trump support Rona McDaniel, because what I'm told from people

156
00:09:00,977 --> 00:09:03,817
Speaker 1: close to him is she gave him whatever he wanted.

157
00:09:04,057 --> 00:09:06,057
Speaker 1: She didn't use the money she raised to go fight

158
00:09:06,377 --> 00:09:09,057
Speaker 1: for election integrity, or to beat back the attacks, or

159
00:09:09,097 --> 00:09:12,057
Speaker 1: to hire lawyers to help him with DJ But she

160
00:09:12,897 --> 00:09:15,817
Speaker 1: kissed his ass quite frankly, a crude way to say it,

161
00:09:15,857 --> 00:09:17,617
Speaker 1: but it's true. She tells him he's the greatest things,

162
00:09:17,657 --> 00:09:21,377
Speaker 1: and sliced bread he loves that, and those little things

163
00:09:21,417 --> 00:09:23,657
Speaker 1: he needs, the endorsement of this candidate or money to

164
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:25,617
Speaker 1: this candidate. She would do for him when he asked,

165
00:09:25,617 --> 00:09:28,057
Speaker 1: So he wasn't asking for the big stuff. He didn't

166
00:09:28,057 --> 00:09:30,137
Speaker 1: know to tell her put lawyers on the field six

167
00:09:30,137 --> 00:09:32,737
Speaker 1: months before election day to get in front of a

168
00:09:32,817 --> 00:09:36,217
Speaker 1: voter integrity issues or let's ballot harvest where legal? Rona,

169
00:09:36,257 --> 00:09:38,857
Speaker 1: why aren't you spending the money for armies of volunteers

170
00:09:38,857 --> 00:09:41,137
Speaker 1: to ballot harvest? So the stuff he was asking for

171
00:09:41,417 --> 00:09:43,217
Speaker 1: she was able to give him. Right, she did it

172
00:09:43,257 --> 00:09:44,657
Speaker 1: for him, and then she would go give him all

173
00:09:44,657 --> 00:09:47,417
Speaker 1: the accolades he loves, and he wanted her back. He

174
00:09:47,777 --> 00:09:50,017
Speaker 1: was comfortable with her. I guess now again that's from

175
00:09:50,057 --> 00:09:53,737
Speaker 1: people very close to him who were incredibly frustrated with

176
00:09:53,777 --> 00:09:56,337
Speaker 1: his support for her. Behind the scenes. I want to

177
00:09:56,337 --> 00:10:00,377
Speaker 1: ask you about Rona Santis and also about Kevin McCarthy

178
00:10:00,457 --> 00:10:03,737
Speaker 1: John in just a second, but a word from our sponsor. First,

179
00:10:04,137 --> 00:10:06,817
Speaker 1: if you're a Team Mobile subscriber, they're investigating a data

180
00:10:06,857 --> 00:10:09,817
Speaker 1: breach that exposed a sensitive personal information of thirty seven

181
00:10:09,817 --> 00:10:12,697
Speaker 1: mill customers right after the New year. Cyber Hackers grab

182
00:10:12,777 --> 00:10:16,897
Speaker 1: data without notice could include customer emails, billing addresses, phone numbers,

183
00:10:17,297 --> 00:10:20,097
Speaker 1: and then cyber criminals can use this information to create

184
00:10:20,257 --> 00:10:23,497
Speaker 1: online identity theft. It happens people all the time, and

185
00:10:23,657 --> 00:10:24,897
Speaker 1: what are you going to do about it? Well, you

186
00:10:24,937 --> 00:10:28,457
Speaker 1: need LifeLock, that's for sure. LifeLock online identity theft help

187
00:10:29,217 --> 00:10:32,657
Speaker 1: helps protect you against this kind of criminal activity. If

188
00:10:32,657 --> 00:10:34,817
Speaker 1: they see any unusual activity in your name, there's a

189
00:10:34,857 --> 00:10:37,337
Speaker 1: LifeLock customer service rep who's going to reach out to

190
00:10:37,377 --> 00:10:39,737
Speaker 1: you v email or text. And if you actually have

191
00:10:40,017 --> 00:10:44,897
Speaker 1: identity theft happen, they have a dedicated LifeLock restoration specialist

193
00:10:46,617 --> 00:10:48,937
Speaker 1: just need to have this protection going on in the background.

194
00:10:49,097 --> 00:10:51,577
Speaker 1: It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are

195
00:10:51,577 --> 00:10:54,297
Speaker 1: affecting our lives. No one can prevent all identity theft

196

205
00:11:22,777 --> 00:11:27,017
Speaker 1: Ron McDaniel Romney. I wanted to start with with Kevin

206
00:11:27,057 --> 00:11:31,017
Speaker 1: McCarthy because there was obviously that simultaneous fight over R

207
00:11:31,097 --> 00:11:33,737
Speaker 1: and C chair and speaker's chair, right, those were two

208
00:11:33,777 --> 00:11:37,897
Speaker 1: things that you know, got got the conservative bass's attention

209
00:11:37,977 --> 00:11:41,577
Speaker 1: for a few weeks. Kevin McCarthy looks like he's come

210
00:11:41,577 --> 00:11:46,057
Speaker 1: out swinging and listen to the folks. To me, is

211
00:11:46,097 --> 00:11:48,377
Speaker 1: that is that your sense of it? Is that where

212
00:11:48,417 --> 00:11:51,417
Speaker 1: he's going? Yeah, it really is. You know a few

213
00:11:51,457 --> 00:11:55,337
Speaker 1: people were more brutal to Kevin than I was. And

214
00:11:55,657 --> 00:11:58,257
Speaker 1: I had some people getting close to him reach out

215
00:11:58,257 --> 00:11:59,697
Speaker 1: to me and say, hey, you're you're kind of off

216
00:11:59,697 --> 00:12:01,097
Speaker 1: based on this, and I said, well, I'm not. I

217
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:04,497
Speaker 1: look at actions not words. And they said, he's getting it,

218
00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:06,937
Speaker 1: he's listening, he's getting it, and he's listening to the

219
00:12:07,057 --> 00:12:11,977
Speaker 1: right advisors. He actually understood the personnel is policy problems.

220
00:12:12,377 --> 00:12:14,537
Speaker 1: He put the right people around him. He started listening

221
00:12:14,617 --> 00:12:17,137
Speaker 1: people like Marjorie Taylor Green and some other behind the

222
00:12:17,177 --> 00:12:20,657
Speaker 1: scenes folks who are very conservative people more aligned with

223
00:12:20,697 --> 00:12:23,577
Speaker 1: you and I ideologically, and some of our friends. And

224
00:12:23,737 --> 00:12:26,257
Speaker 1: I've been really impressed by what I've been seeing from

225
00:12:26,337 --> 00:12:29,977
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy. It has exceeded every expectations. And I've been

226
00:12:30,057 --> 00:12:33,017
Speaker 1: very publicly complimentary of him and supportive of him for

227
00:12:33,097 --> 00:12:35,297
Speaker 1: doing that. And you know, Buck, I'm a pragmatist, right

228
00:12:35,337 --> 00:12:36,457
Speaker 1: and I think you are, and I think a lot

229
00:12:36,497 --> 00:12:39,257
Speaker 1: of people we know you know, full disclosure, we're good

230
00:12:39,257 --> 00:12:41,417
Speaker 1: personal friends as well. We have a lot of mutual friends,

231
00:12:41,977 --> 00:12:44,057
Speaker 1: and we're all people who work in media politics to

232
00:12:44,137 --> 00:12:46,697
Speaker 1: a very large degree. But we're also pragmatist. If I

233
00:12:46,737 --> 00:12:50,057
Speaker 1: can get a politician, it's gonna give me eighty percent

234
00:12:50,057 --> 00:12:51,657
Speaker 1: of what a seventy percent of what I want. But

235
00:12:51,737 --> 00:12:54,817
Speaker 1: eighty percent is pretty good. I'm gonna be okay because

236
00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:58,057
Speaker 1: I know there's no hundred percent, right even NASSA doesn't

237
00:12:58,057 --> 00:13:01,137
Speaker 1: have zero tolerant, zero failure. And so I'm looking at

238
00:13:01,177 --> 00:13:03,657
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy right now and out of the gate, this

239
00:13:03,697 --> 00:13:05,977
Speaker 1: guy's been given me eighty five ninety percent of what

240
00:13:06,017 --> 00:13:07,737
Speaker 1: I want. I'll take that all day long. And if

241
00:13:07,737 --> 00:13:10,497
Speaker 1: he continues down that road. He's going to continue to

242
00:13:10,497 --> 00:13:12,457
Speaker 1: have my support, and I think a big, big amount

243
00:13:12,457 --> 00:13:14,577
Speaker 1: of credit goes to guys like Chip Roy in the

244
00:13:14,617 --> 00:13:16,457
Speaker 1: Freedom caucas who held his feet to the fire to

245
00:13:16,497 --> 00:13:19,817
Speaker 1: make certain deals. They did a great job. McCarthy's honoring

246
00:13:19,857 --> 00:13:21,377
Speaker 1: those deals. By the way, Chip Roy, I want to

247
00:13:21,377 --> 00:13:23,017
Speaker 1: single him out because I was told by people close

248
00:13:23,057 --> 00:13:26,577
Speaker 1: to that process he is the only member who asked

249
00:13:26,577 --> 00:13:29,977
Speaker 1: for nothing for himself, and when he was asked do

250
00:13:29,977 --> 00:13:31,737
Speaker 1: you want the big office? Do you want the leadership,

251
00:13:31,737 --> 00:13:33,737
Speaker 1: he's had him doing this for America. I'll paraphrase, but

252
00:13:33,737 --> 00:13:35,857
Speaker 1: I'm doing it for America. This isn't about me. I

253
00:13:35,937 --> 00:13:38,337
Speaker 1: want nothing for myself, and I think people need to

254
00:13:38,377 --> 00:13:42,537
Speaker 1: know that that deserves nothing, nothing but praise. But like

255
00:13:42,617 --> 00:13:44,897
Speaker 1: I said, I'll continue to support McCarthy if he continues

256
00:13:44,937 --> 00:13:47,857
Speaker 1: to go down this road. Yeah, I've been seeing McCarthy

257
00:13:48,217 --> 00:13:53,297
Speaker 1: do things that looks like a the wake up call,

258
00:13:53,377 --> 00:13:56,817
Speaker 1: if you will, has woken him up. It feels like

259
00:13:56,857 --> 00:13:59,537
Speaker 1: he's actually he's actually gotten the messages at some level

260
00:13:59,537 --> 00:14:03,137
Speaker 1: of what his role should be given where the GOP

261
00:14:03,297 --> 00:14:06,257
Speaker 1: is right now and the fights the fights ahead. So

262
00:14:07,057 --> 00:14:11,697
Speaker 1: you and I are Florida Residence, Ron Santiss is our governor.

263
00:14:12,377 --> 00:14:17,777
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santists just won a massive landslide victory for a

264
00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:20,897
Speaker 1: re election for a governor, and everyone is now, I

265
00:14:20,937 --> 00:14:25,937
Speaker 1: think fully assuming that he will announce for president, how

266
00:14:25,977 --> 00:14:31,217
Speaker 1: do you assess his strengths and weaknesses? Look as a governor,

267
00:14:31,257 --> 00:14:32,817
Speaker 1: I'll just say it. I think I can speak for

268
00:14:32,857 --> 00:14:34,697
Speaker 1: both of us. He's an A plus governor. I mean,

269
00:14:34,697 --> 00:14:36,537
Speaker 1: I think he's the best governor, the best governor in

270
00:14:36,577 --> 00:14:39,897
Speaker 1: the country. You know, I don't think anybody who has

271
00:14:40,577 --> 00:14:44,057
Speaker 1: been through the De Santists transformation of Florida and you know,

272
00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:48,617
Speaker 1: is saying really disagrees with that. But president, you know,

273
00:14:48,617 --> 00:14:51,577
Speaker 1: the presidency's different. Obviously running for national office is different.

274
00:14:51,657 --> 00:14:56,377
Speaker 1: So how do you assess strengths and weaknesses of Rhonda Santists?

275
00:14:56,377 --> 00:15:00,097
Speaker 1: Great governor, but assuming he's a presidential candidate, how does

276
00:15:00,137 --> 00:15:02,417
Speaker 1: it line up? Well? I think one of the things

277
00:15:02,457 --> 00:15:05,737
Speaker 1: that I'll go a little one negative first, I think

278
00:15:05,777 --> 00:15:07,697
Speaker 1: De Santist definitely is going to need to hone his

279
00:15:07,737 --> 00:15:09,697
Speaker 1: debate skills a bit. Nan He's aware of that. I

280
00:15:09,697 --> 00:15:13,017
Speaker 1: think he it was good against Charlie Crisp, but I

281
00:15:13,017 --> 00:15:15,497
Speaker 1: think in a presidential debate with it's gonna be a

282
00:15:15,577 --> 00:15:18,137
Speaker 1: very big field. I think we're gonna probably see a

283
00:15:18,257 --> 00:15:21,457
Speaker 1: repeat of twenty sixteen, you know, maybe fifteen sixteen, seventeen

284
00:15:21,577 --> 00:15:25,337
Speaker 1: primary candidates. Many of these people are professional campaigners. They

285
00:15:25,377 --> 00:15:28,017
Speaker 1: don't really win. They campaign and they debate and they're

286
00:15:28,057 --> 00:15:30,577
Speaker 1: very good at it. The Santis a duer. There's a duer.

287
00:15:30,617 --> 00:15:32,097
Speaker 1: This is a guy. I said this said the other

288
00:15:32,177 --> 00:15:34,497
Speaker 1: day on Twitter. I've been saying it. The contrast with

289
00:15:34,577 --> 00:15:36,617
Speaker 1: him in Trump is Trump gets up to the podium

290
00:15:36,617 --> 00:15:38,937
Speaker 1: and tells you what I'm gonna do, what he's gonna do.

291
00:15:39,057 --> 00:15:40,617
Speaker 1: I'll do this, I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna do this,

292
00:15:40,617 --> 00:15:42,817
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. The Santis gets up to the podium,

293
00:15:42,857 --> 00:15:44,457
Speaker 1: holds up something he signed and said I just did

294
00:15:44,457 --> 00:15:47,017
Speaker 1: this this morning or yesterday. And so he's a doer.

295
00:15:47,097 --> 00:15:49,657
Speaker 1: So I think the one place he could tighten up

296
00:15:49,977 --> 00:15:52,777
Speaker 1: is the debate skills, which is very doable and that's

297
00:15:52,777 --> 00:15:56,017
Speaker 1: something you can practice. But in terms of performance, I

298
00:15:56,057 --> 00:15:59,257
Speaker 1: mean wow, And people sit there and accuse me night

299
00:15:59,297 --> 00:16:01,057
Speaker 1: and day on Twitter of being paid, and I want

300
00:16:01,057 --> 00:16:03,337
Speaker 1: to say it here by the Senates, I have never

301
00:16:04,017 --> 00:16:08,097
Speaker 1: and would never take a penny from Ronda Santis, any

302
00:16:08,137 --> 00:16:12,697
Speaker 1: of his official state entities, campaign entities, are affiliated entities, pacts, etc.

303
00:16:13,217 --> 00:16:16,617
Speaker 1: I don't make a dime a penny from them. My

304
00:16:16,697 --> 00:16:18,977
Speaker 1: support for him is organic because of what you said.

305
00:16:19,537 --> 00:16:22,137
Speaker 1: I live in Florida. My family is still in New York.

306
00:16:23,017 --> 00:16:26,017
Speaker 1: I just see how fortunate we are. I mean, Buck,

307
00:16:26,297 --> 00:16:28,537
Speaker 1: look at the two of us, where ten we're relaxed.

308
00:16:28,537 --> 00:16:30,377
Speaker 1: I'm in my mid eighties, you're in your late seventies,

309
00:16:30,417 --> 00:16:33,337
Speaker 1: and we look like kids because we're Florida residents. We

310
00:16:33,377 --> 00:16:37,217
Speaker 1: look amazing. That's a good points aside. It's a great

311
00:16:37,217 --> 00:16:40,017
Speaker 1: place to live, but it's a great place to do business.

312
00:16:40,057 --> 00:16:42,937
Speaker 1: We have things here like Enterprise Florida, which is a

313
00:16:43,217 --> 00:16:46,337
Speaker 1: really a Florida's Department of Commerce, which offers big incentives

314
00:16:46,617 --> 00:16:50,777
Speaker 1: for manufacturing blue collar jobs to come down to Florida.

315
00:16:51,057 --> 00:16:53,737
Speaker 1: Things you don't even hear about because the programs are

316
00:16:53,777 --> 00:16:59,617
Speaker 1: so successful. The migration here is becoming so rapid and

317
00:16:59,777 --> 00:17:01,977
Speaker 1: such a critical mask that the state of Florida doesn't

318
00:17:01,977 --> 00:17:04,577
Speaker 1: even need to market these things. And that's a testament

319
00:17:04,897 --> 00:17:07,497
Speaker 1: to the success of the guy in the governor's mansion

320
00:17:07,497 --> 00:17:10,977
Speaker 1: in Tallahassee. I mean, every day, just seems like there's

321
00:17:10,977 --> 00:17:12,817
Speaker 1: a new win, right, We're finding that we're gonna get

322
00:17:12,857 --> 00:17:15,577
Speaker 1: constitutional carry was the new one today. It advanced in

323
00:17:15,617 --> 00:17:18,057
Speaker 1: the Senate. Like every day, the agenda is winning a

324
00:17:18,097 --> 00:17:21,697
Speaker 1: little bit more. You know. There was that MSNBC host

325
00:17:21,737 --> 00:17:23,897
Speaker 1: who said the problem that RHN de Santis is going

326
00:17:23,937 --> 00:17:26,977
Speaker 1: to run up against is that people think that Florida

327
00:17:27,097 --> 00:17:31,017
Speaker 1: is just meth and alligators. I don't think the eight

328
00:17:31,137 --> 00:17:33,897
Speaker 1: hundred thousand was the number that I saw most recently.

329
00:17:34,537 --> 00:17:36,617
Speaker 1: People who have moved to the state of Florida since

330
00:17:37,137 --> 00:17:40,857
Speaker 1: the pandemic think that it's just alligators and meth. Although

331
00:17:40,897 --> 00:17:44,217
Speaker 1: there was that terrible story about an elderly woman who

332
00:17:44,257 --> 00:17:47,657
Speaker 1: was grabbed by a gator, which is rare. You know,

333
00:17:47,777 --> 00:17:50,697
Speaker 1: she was defending, trying to defend her dog and the dog.

334
00:17:51,137 --> 00:17:54,657
Speaker 1: The dog survived, she got taken underwater. Just a reminder,

335
00:17:54,697 --> 00:17:56,657
Speaker 1: you know, I had I had an uncle who was

336
00:17:56,897 --> 00:18:00,337
Speaker 1: Savannah PD, Savannah Police Apartment, and they get gators there too.

337
00:18:00,777 --> 00:18:03,857
Speaker 1: One thing he used to tell me, John, is those

338
00:18:04,017 --> 00:18:06,857
Speaker 1: that they you see them usually when you do see

339
00:18:06,897 --> 00:18:10,977
Speaker 1: them there, they look almost like they're are, you know,

340
00:18:11,137 --> 00:18:14,897
Speaker 1: kind of laid back. Then they appeared docile. Yeah, he says.

341
00:18:15,377 --> 00:18:18,217
Speaker 1: They can come out of the water like a bullet basically,

342
00:18:18,617 --> 00:18:21,217
Speaker 1: and they and they know when you're not looking, and

343
00:18:21,257 --> 00:18:23,017
Speaker 1: that's where they come for you. And then beyond that,

344
00:18:23,417 --> 00:18:26,097
Speaker 1: they're actually faster. Since we're two Florida guys sitting you're

345
00:18:26,097 --> 00:18:28,777
Speaker 1: talking about this, they're actually faster than people would think

346
00:18:28,817 --> 00:18:31,417
Speaker 1: on land over a short distance, like you don't want

347
00:18:31,417 --> 00:18:33,457
Speaker 1: one of them to come after you, even over twenty

348
00:18:33,577 --> 00:18:37,137
Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty feet. You know they've been tracted like

349
00:18:37,457 --> 00:18:39,537
Speaker 1: over thirty miles an hour on those short distances. Look,

350
00:18:39,537 --> 00:18:41,617
Speaker 1: I'm out in the I kayak out there, I do

351
00:18:41,657 --> 00:18:44,897
Speaker 1: some backcountry fishing, and I take my horses out through

352
00:18:44,937 --> 00:18:48,337
Speaker 1: those trails back there. It's exactly what you're told. These

353
00:18:48,337 --> 00:18:50,177
Speaker 1: things are docile. They look like rocks that aren't going

354
00:18:50,257 --> 00:18:53,337
Speaker 1: to move until you watch them go for a kilt.

355
00:18:53,857 --> 00:18:55,337
Speaker 1: There might be a raccoon on the bank, or a

356
00:18:55,337 --> 00:18:58,057
Speaker 1: bird or a fish. They are lightning fast. You can't

357
00:18:58,057 --> 00:19:00,457
Speaker 1: even see them move. And and uh, side note, A

358
00:19:00,457 --> 00:19:02,057
Speaker 1: buddy of mine is a debbie that was up in

359
00:19:02,297 --> 00:19:05,017
Speaker 1: Saint Lucy County where that poor woman was killed. It

360
00:19:05,217 --> 00:19:08,617
Speaker 1: was standing in the exact same spot on that bank

361
00:19:08,697 --> 00:19:11,737
Speaker 1: the night before in the dark. He's called me. He said,

362
00:19:11,737 --> 00:19:13,417
Speaker 1: I was standing right there. They got a call for

363
00:19:13,457 --> 00:19:16,737
Speaker 1: a criminal trespass potential. They didn't find anybody. They were

364
00:19:16,777 --> 00:19:18,937
Speaker 1: walking around that lake with their flashlights in the exact

365
00:19:19,017 --> 00:19:21,057
Speaker 1: spot that gator jumped out and grabbed that woman. And

366
00:19:21,097 --> 00:19:22,777
Speaker 1: that was a big gator that was ten eleven feet

367
00:19:22,777 --> 00:19:25,537
Speaker 1: and they can do tremendous they'll bring down a large animal.

368
00:19:25,577 --> 00:19:27,857
Speaker 1: So you know, an eighty five year old woman, she

369
00:19:27,937 --> 00:19:30,177
Speaker 1: really didn't stand a chance. It was really tragic. But

370
00:19:30,177 --> 00:19:32,657
Speaker 1: but to your point, that's right, real quick, I don't

371
00:19:32,657 --> 00:19:35,457
Speaker 1: want to interrupt you. But to your point, I can't

372
00:19:35,457 --> 00:19:38,257
Speaker 1: disclose this because I was told this in confidence by

373
00:19:38,297 --> 00:19:40,817
Speaker 1: some people who deal with the entities in the state

374
00:19:40,857 --> 00:19:45,017
Speaker 1: that move businesses to Florida. If people didn't Florida's method alligators,

375
00:19:45,537 --> 00:19:48,217
Speaker 1: they are going to be shocked in a very pleasant

376
00:19:48,217 --> 00:19:52,257
Speaker 1: way with some of the mega brands, the iconic companies

377
00:19:52,337 --> 00:19:56,657
Speaker 1: trying to negotiate moves to Florida for massive trunches of employees.

378
00:19:56,977 --> 00:20:00,497
Speaker 1: This is now. The state is a global powerhouse, with

379
00:20:00,537 --> 00:20:04,617
Speaker 1: international cities. Miami Fort Lauderdale's booming. The Pond Beach area

380
00:20:04,657 --> 00:20:08,057
Speaker 1: has become a political hub. They are sorely mistaken the state.

381
00:20:08,137 --> 00:20:10,657
Speaker 1: The state is a country unto itself one point one

382
00:20:10,937 --> 00:20:14,897
Speaker 1: trillion dollars GDP at twenty four billion dollars budget surplus,

383
00:20:15,097 --> 00:20:17,937
Speaker 1: twenty two and a half million residents and growing. It's

384
00:20:17,977 --> 00:20:21,217
Speaker 1: the size of four or five Balkans nations. And it's

385
00:20:21,297 --> 00:20:25,097
Speaker 1: GDP is about twenty times that many of the Balkans nations.

386
00:20:25,377 --> 00:20:28,257
Speaker 1: And so you're looking at a nation unto itself here

387
00:20:28,257 --> 00:20:30,897
Speaker 1: and not a state they're gonna be. That's a pretty

388
00:20:31,017 --> 00:20:35,497
Speaker 1: naive assessment methods, you know. Yeah, I mean, look, you

389
00:20:35,537 --> 00:20:38,337
Speaker 1: know we do. There are people here in flip flops.

390
00:20:38,377 --> 00:20:41,097
Speaker 1: You do see some Neon tank tops, you know, I

391
00:20:41,137 --> 00:20:44,057
Speaker 1: mean there's some of the floor stuff where you go,

392
00:20:44,777 --> 00:20:48,057
Speaker 1: h is there. So that's part of the charm. You know,

393
00:20:48,097 --> 00:20:50,577
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start wearing the sunglasses that have the little

394
00:20:50,617 --> 00:20:53,817
Speaker 1: thing that connects behind your head. Yeah. That that's that's

395
00:20:53,897 --> 00:20:55,817
Speaker 1: that's a good way to go. We're gonna come back

396
00:20:55,817 --> 00:20:57,737
Speaker 1: to actually the Red state Blue state separation because I

397
00:20:57,777 --> 00:21:01,497
Speaker 1: want to talk to John about about the crime factor here.

398
00:21:01,497 --> 00:21:05,337
Speaker 1: He's a former MYPD guy and has always astute observations

399
00:21:05,337 --> 00:21:07,217
Speaker 1: on that. We'll get to that in a second. I

00:22:38,857 --> 00:22:41,257
Speaker 1: on it, you're walking around in it. Um all right.

438
00:22:41,297 --> 00:22:43,737
Speaker 1: So the crime issue because Florida also this this plays

439
00:22:43,777 --> 00:22:46,617
Speaker 1: in because one thing you could you would have noticed

440
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:49,857
Speaker 1: for a while now is anytime you look at the

441
00:22:50,217 --> 00:22:53,777
Speaker 1: crime data on cities and it has been just awful.

442
00:22:54,097 --> 00:22:57,097
Speaker 1: Um and it varies. There's variations on this. Right in

443
00:22:57,137 --> 00:23:00,657
Speaker 1: San Francisco, people say, oh, it's not that bad, the

444
00:23:00,777 --> 00:23:04,297
Speaker 1: violent crimes not that bad, but the property crime is

445
00:23:05,177 --> 00:23:09,537
Speaker 1: third world, third world hellhole level. Right other places you

446
00:23:09,577 --> 00:23:13,417
Speaker 1: go to New Orleans, you go to Saint Louis, Baltimore,

447
00:23:13,817 --> 00:23:17,337
Speaker 1: you know, the violent crime rate is way higher than

448
00:23:17,377 --> 00:23:20,217
Speaker 1: it was in a few years ago. Florida cities haven't

449
00:23:20,217 --> 00:23:23,097
Speaker 1: had this happen. Well, I mean, well they really haven't.

450
00:23:23,497 --> 00:23:25,937
Speaker 1: You know. De Sante's is saying Florida as a state

451
00:23:26,017 --> 00:23:30,297
Speaker 1: is at its lowest statewide crime rate in fifty years.

452
00:23:30,737 --> 00:23:33,457
Speaker 1: And this is something that I think, I think if

453
00:23:33,457 --> 00:23:36,457
Speaker 1: you're looking for ways to get it independence in some

454
00:23:36,537 --> 00:23:40,377
Speaker 1: of these purple states, I think John they recognize that

455
00:23:41,897 --> 00:23:44,657
Speaker 1: safety is the thing that you either are on board

456
00:23:44,697 --> 00:23:46,937
Speaker 1: with or you're not. You know, public safety, you either

457
00:23:46,977 --> 00:23:51,017
Speaker 1: get it or you don't. That's right. You know, Florida culturally,

458
00:23:51,177 --> 00:23:54,137
Speaker 1: even Florida Democrats have been pro police. You don't see

459
00:23:54,217 --> 00:23:56,377
Speaker 1: one one of the things you don't see in Florida,

460
00:23:56,577 --> 00:23:59,177
Speaker 1: where we're the most populous state in America, you don't

461
00:23:59,177 --> 00:24:01,857
Speaker 1: see BLM riots. You know, Black Lives Matter doesn't riot

462
00:24:01,897 --> 00:24:06,057
Speaker 1: in Florida. Antifa doesn't riot in Florida because even your Democrats.

463
00:24:06,057 --> 00:24:07,537
Speaker 1: If I live in Fort Lauderdale, in the city of

464
00:24:07,577 --> 00:24:11,137
Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale, half a mile in the downtown drag, we

465
00:24:11,217 --> 00:24:13,737
Speaker 1: have one of the most liberal mayors in America, guy

466
00:24:13,777 --> 00:24:16,097
Speaker 1: named Dean Trent's house, but you know what, he's not

467
00:24:16,177 --> 00:24:19,137
Speaker 1: liberal on crime. In his police department, we have a

468
00:24:19,257 --> 00:24:21,977
Speaker 1: Democrat sheriff, but you know what, the broward sheriff's office

469
00:24:22,297 --> 00:24:26,137
Speaker 1: isn't far left on enforcement of crime. And you see

470
00:24:26,177 --> 00:24:27,697
Speaker 1: this across the board. You see him in the city

471
00:24:27,697 --> 00:24:29,497
Speaker 1: of Miami, you see in Miami Gade County, you see

472
00:24:29,577 --> 00:24:32,377
Speaker 1: him in Palm Beach, even Orange County, the Orlando area,

473
00:24:32,377 --> 00:24:35,577
Speaker 1: which is which is really far left. Valdeming's an impeachment manager.

474
00:24:35,617 --> 00:24:38,977
Speaker 1: Her husband is a mayor up there. They still let

475
00:24:39,017 --> 00:24:41,777
Speaker 1: their cops and their sheriffs do their jobs, and when

476
00:24:41,817 --> 00:24:43,897
Speaker 1: they're right, they backed them. And I'm an advocate that

477
00:24:43,897 --> 00:24:45,657
Speaker 1: when your cops are right, back them. If you have

478
00:24:45,737 --> 00:24:48,577
Speaker 1: corrupt or brutal police officers, arrest them put him in handcuffs.

479
00:24:48,577 --> 00:24:51,217
Speaker 1: Any cop will tell you that, But in Florida, the

480
00:24:51,337 --> 00:24:54,377
Speaker 1: sheriff's back up their deputies and the police chiefs back

481
00:24:54,537 --> 00:24:57,177
Speaker 1: up their cops. They let them do their jobs, and

482
00:24:57,217 --> 00:25:00,297
Speaker 1: we just don't have these problems. And the important thing

483
00:25:00,337 --> 00:25:03,377
Speaker 1: to notebook is many of Florida's police departments, one of

484
00:25:03,417 --> 00:25:05,577
Speaker 1: the reasons that the Santus was on this police recruitment

485
00:25:05,617 --> 00:25:08,897
Speaker 1: tour or understaffed by the City of Miami. P D

486
00:25:09,017 --> 00:25:12,897
Speaker 1: has always been at below a minimum staffing levels, but

487
00:25:12,937 --> 00:25:14,937
Speaker 1: they manage to make it work wide because they have

488
00:25:15,097 --> 00:25:18,137
Speaker 1: mayors and county officials and city officials that'll back them

489
00:25:18,217 --> 00:25:20,497
Speaker 1: up when they do their jobs properly, and they understand

490
00:25:20,497 --> 00:25:23,017
Speaker 1: that when you're short staff sometimes you do it. They

491
00:25:23,097 --> 00:25:26,977
Speaker 1: use a level of force that is legal and justifiable,

492
00:25:26,977 --> 00:25:29,697
Speaker 1: and it might not look nice, but bad guys don't

493
00:25:29,737 --> 00:25:33,057
Speaker 1: want to be arrested peacefully. They fight back. There's no

494
00:25:33,297 --> 00:25:36,857
Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction of policing down here. That trickles down

495
00:25:37,057 --> 00:25:39,977
Speaker 1: because the bad guys know that, and they know they're

496
00:25:40,017 --> 00:25:42,937
Speaker 1: not going to be able to hire a ben Crump

497
00:25:43,337 --> 00:25:45,257
Speaker 1: over nonsense is going to come in and threaten to

498
00:25:45,297 --> 00:25:47,657
Speaker 1: sue the city for one hundred million dollars because the

499
00:25:47,697 --> 00:25:51,017
Speaker 1: police did their job properly. Those cries of races. That

500
00:25:51,057 --> 00:25:55,977
Speaker 1: doesn't fly in Florida. Even in cities that are predominantly black,

501
00:25:56,057 --> 00:26:00,977
Speaker 1: with black police chiefs and predominant black departments, there's still

502
00:26:01,057 --> 00:26:05,337
Speaker 1: this dividing line where law and order stands. And I

503
00:26:05,377 --> 00:26:08,297
Speaker 1: think that when you combine that with the fact that

504
00:26:08,337 --> 00:26:11,697
Speaker 1: it's very easy to get uh licensed to carry un

505
00:26:11,737 --> 00:26:14,657
Speaker 1: zeal weapon here. We have stand your ground laws here,

506
00:26:14,657 --> 00:26:17,817
Speaker 1: we have castle doctrine laws here that favor the individual

507
00:26:18,377 --> 00:26:23,337
Speaker 1: to an outstanding degree. We're gonna about to have constitutional carry,

508
00:26:23,377 --> 00:26:26,537
Speaker 1: permitless carry. The bad guys know there are better places

509
00:26:26,777 --> 00:26:30,937
Speaker 1: to victimize people than Florida. What is your everyday carry? John?

510
00:26:31,097 --> 00:26:33,577
Speaker 1: For the folks at home, they want to know, what

511
00:26:33,737 --> 00:26:39,217
Speaker 1: is the international arms dealer extraordinaires? What's his everyday I've

512
00:26:39,217 --> 00:26:42,777
Speaker 1: got a few I uh typically carry these days, a

513
00:26:42,897 --> 00:26:46,737
Speaker 1: sigh three sixty five X macro which is a little larger,

514
00:26:46,937 --> 00:26:49,537
Speaker 1: but on warm days, this one my sig there. Can

515
00:26:49,577 --> 00:26:53,217
Speaker 1: you see that? Is that the X? And then another

516
00:26:53,217 --> 00:26:55,617
Speaker 1: one that I just absolutely love, the glock forty three

517
00:26:55,817 --> 00:27:00,177
Speaker 1: X great great outstanding weapon. And then I by my bedside,

518
00:27:00,177 --> 00:27:03,657
Speaker 1: I have a special uh little treat Buck it's a

519
00:27:03,737 --> 00:27:08,097
Speaker 1: silenced Daniel defense three hundred blackout. Wow. Look at that,

520
00:27:08,737 --> 00:27:12,137
Speaker 1: you know happen. Very will be happy to know as

521
00:27:12,177 --> 00:27:14,577
Speaker 1: a as a Florida resident, John, I am picking up

522
00:27:14,617 --> 00:27:17,137
Speaker 1: That's about it. That's a beautiful Daniel defense. I'm picking

523
00:27:17,217 --> 00:27:20,857
Speaker 1: up my d D four from Dannual Defense tomorrow along

524
00:27:20,857 --> 00:27:23,337
Speaker 1: with the staccato that they just convinced me to buy

525
00:27:23,537 --> 00:27:25,897
Speaker 1: when I was in there the last time. So I

526
00:27:25,977 --> 00:27:28,137
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I want to get a staccato. You know,

527
00:27:28,217 --> 00:27:31,977
Speaker 1: it's a little pricing. I'm waiting on my staccato there.

528
00:27:32,177 --> 00:27:35,817
Speaker 1: I don't understand what staccato puts into that recoil spring,

529
00:27:36,137 --> 00:27:39,017
Speaker 1: but it's magic and wizardry because the damn thing has

530
00:27:39,017 --> 00:27:40,897
Speaker 1: no recoil. It's like shooting at twenty two. It is

531
00:27:40,937 --> 00:27:44,177
Speaker 1: the most well engineered handgun I've ever fired in my life.

532
00:27:45,017 --> 00:27:47,217
Speaker 1: It's it's amazing. Also, you wouldn't expect, you know, because

533
00:27:47,257 --> 00:27:53,217
Speaker 1: Barretta is the oldest privately held company still in still

534
00:27:53,257 --> 00:27:55,297
Speaker 1: an operation in the world. I think it goes back

535
00:27:55,297 --> 00:27:59,537
Speaker 1: to sixteen nineteen. Does that sound yeah? Yeah? Or six No,

536
00:27:59,577 --> 00:28:03,057
Speaker 1: not sixteen ninety, sixteen twenty. I think I'm sixteen fourteen.

537
00:28:03,097 --> 00:28:05,177
Speaker 1: It is around. You know, the sixteen nineteen is you know,

538
00:28:05,217 --> 00:28:09,217
Speaker 1: sixteen sixteen nineteen project in there. I'm purposed. I gotta

539
00:28:09,297 --> 00:28:11,777
Speaker 1: I gotta find out when the founding of Baretta was.

540
00:28:11,777 --> 00:28:13,617
Speaker 1: I don't know why that. I think it was maybe sixteen,

541
00:28:14,017 --> 00:28:18,617
Speaker 1: sixteen fourteen anyway, seven it's seventeenth century, um somewhere somewhere

542
00:28:18,617 --> 00:28:24,257
Speaker 1: along there, the founding founding of Baretta. Um. But uh,

543
00:28:24,497 --> 00:28:28,057
Speaker 1: Staccato is based in Texas. You know, you hear Baretta,

544
00:28:28,177 --> 00:28:30,617
Speaker 1: you think, oh, it's an Italian, you know, gun maker.

545
00:28:30,777 --> 00:28:34,777
Speaker 1: It makes very, very fancy shotguns. Staccato is a Texas

546
00:28:34,857 --> 00:28:37,897
Speaker 1: based handgun maker. And I guess there were tournament guns

547
00:28:37,897 --> 00:28:40,217
Speaker 1: that now people have just realized my brother got one.

548
00:28:40,217 --> 00:28:42,337
Speaker 1: I've been shooting in and I just go, oh wow,

549
00:28:42,377 --> 00:28:45,137
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing. Yeah, they used to be they used

550
00:28:45,177 --> 00:28:48,617
Speaker 1: to be branded as STI and then they did a reengineering.

551
00:28:48,737 --> 00:28:51,097
Speaker 1: They they made they took the line from forty five

552
00:28:51,137 --> 00:28:54,177
Speaker 1: acp down to nine millimeter. They re engineered them into

553
00:28:54,177 --> 00:28:57,617
Speaker 1: these spectacular weapons. They are today rebranded a Staccato. I'm

554
00:28:57,657 --> 00:28:59,617
Speaker 1: just a big fan. I'm waiting on I'm on a

555
00:28:59,657 --> 00:29:02,297
Speaker 1: waiting list for the new CS they're they're compact. It

556
00:29:02,417 --> 00:29:06,257
Speaker 1: is just an outstanding Bretta I was, I was actually

557
00:29:06,937 --> 00:29:13,537
Speaker 1: a bit off. Fifteen twenty six was when Runners founded. Yeah,

558
00:29:13,577 --> 00:29:15,297
Speaker 1: I shoot a lot of clays. Bretta. I have a

559
00:29:15,297 --> 00:29:19,417
Speaker 1: Bretta DT eleven. It is to me the best competition

560
00:29:19,457 --> 00:29:21,257
Speaker 1: shotgun on the planet. I even got the century. I

561
00:29:21,257 --> 00:29:23,897
Speaker 1: haven't got the century wrong. Yeah that's going way way back.

562
00:29:24,097 --> 00:29:28,017
Speaker 1: Um so uh, John, I mean to look at what's

563
00:29:28,057 --> 00:29:30,377
Speaker 1: going on in New York. You just had Mayor Adams

564
00:29:30,457 --> 00:29:35,497
Speaker 1: getting a little a little flustered. I think with the

565
00:29:35,657 --> 00:29:38,457
Speaker 1: recent visit of Ron de Santis where he's doing this.

566
00:29:39,137 --> 00:29:41,057
Speaker 1: I love that he went to Staten Island, by the way,

567
00:29:41,457 --> 00:29:46,497
Speaker 1: I love that he goes to Staten Island. Um yeah, um,

568
00:29:46,537 --> 00:29:48,457
Speaker 1: he goes to Staten Island because he knows that, you know,

569
00:29:48,497 --> 00:29:50,177
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of love at Staten Island,

570
00:29:50,617 --> 00:29:54,497
Speaker 1: and you know, Adams is not really like I felt

571
00:29:54,497 --> 00:29:57,497
Speaker 1: like at one point Adams was trying to maybe think

572
00:29:57,537 --> 00:30:00,737
Speaker 1: about taking over if Biden stepped aside. I feel like

573
00:30:00,777 --> 00:30:03,337
Speaker 1: that maybe has faded because I believe Biden is running again.

574
00:30:03,337 --> 00:30:05,497
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any Democrats have any choice. There

575
00:30:06,137 --> 00:30:07,937
Speaker 1: is New York getting better though on a crime on

576
00:30:07,977 --> 00:30:09,377
Speaker 1: the crime side, I don't know how many guys you

577
00:30:09,417 --> 00:30:12,537
Speaker 1: still know who are the job there but is doing

578
00:30:12,577 --> 00:30:15,857
Speaker 1: the work. Yeah many? Noah Adams. Adams is a mess.

579
00:30:15,937 --> 00:30:17,697
Speaker 1: And you know, the sad part of this thing is

580
00:30:17,697 --> 00:30:20,777
Speaker 1: that the police commissioner, she actually everybody thought she was

581
00:30:20,857 --> 00:30:24,137
Speaker 1: hired as a diversity hire or woke higher you know,

582
00:30:24,217 --> 00:30:26,377
Speaker 1: black woman. They brought her in. Everybody expected that was

583
00:30:26,417 --> 00:30:28,657
Speaker 1: the reason. But she came out of the Nassa County

584
00:30:28,697 --> 00:30:31,657
Speaker 1: Police Department. She was their chief of detectives. And everybody

585
00:30:31,737 --> 00:30:34,457
Speaker 1: has spoken to in the Nassau County PD, very conservative

586
00:30:34,737 --> 00:30:37,497
Speaker 1: men and women, said she was a great They trust her,

587
00:30:37,537 --> 00:30:42,257
Speaker 1: they like her, and that she's incredibly frustrated with Adams Constant.

588
00:30:42,257 --> 00:30:45,257
Speaker 1: Adams Constant caving to the radically far left New York

589
00:30:45,257 --> 00:30:48,177
Speaker 1: City Council. Left to her own devices, she would be

590
00:30:48,177 --> 00:30:50,457
Speaker 1: a very proactive police commissioner. And two of the people

591
00:30:50,457 --> 00:30:53,417
Speaker 1: who told me this were a senior command staff and

592
00:30:53,417 --> 00:30:57,337
Speaker 1: the Nassau County PD, who have our politics. He's are conservative,

593
00:30:57,337 --> 00:31:01,337
Speaker 1: pragmatic guys. So Adams I think got a taste of

594
00:31:01,377 --> 00:31:04,857
Speaker 1: far left money and he's a band and all reason.

595
00:31:05,377 --> 00:31:07,577
Speaker 1: He's become. He's a real disgrace. I mean, I think

596
00:31:07,577 --> 00:31:10,217
Speaker 1: he's as bad as the Blasio is. And it's said

597
00:31:10,057 --> 00:31:11,897
Speaker 1: that he's got a police commissioner who wants to be

598
00:31:11,897 --> 00:31:14,417
Speaker 1: proactive and effective. And let's face it, and the world

599
00:31:14,497 --> 00:31:15,937
Speaker 1: we live in, the fact that she's a black woman

600
00:31:16,017 --> 00:31:18,697
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt her political cover when the police have to

601
00:31:18,737 --> 00:31:21,417
Speaker 1: be proactive. The fact that he won't let her do

602
00:31:21,537 --> 00:31:25,457
Speaker 1: her job is disgraceful. But there's something important to point

603
00:31:25,457 --> 00:31:27,537
Speaker 1: out book. One of the most effective tools we had

604
00:31:27,537 --> 00:31:31,777
Speaker 1: in our toolbox, but the NYPD was stopping frisk. Stopping

605
00:31:31,857 --> 00:31:36,297
Speaker 1: frisk was deemed illegal. Put that in quotes years back

606
00:31:36,337 --> 00:31:38,937
Speaker 1: by a federal judge who knew she was going to

607
00:31:39,017 --> 00:31:40,937
Speaker 1: be overturned by the Supreme Court. He named was sure

608
00:31:40,977 --> 00:31:45,297
Speaker 1: Shinlin just she resigned her federal judge ship. The Deblasio

609
00:31:45,337 --> 00:31:49,137
Speaker 1: administration never appealed her decision, and had they stoppin frisk

610
00:31:49,177 --> 00:31:50,657
Speaker 1: would be the law of the land in New York again,

611
00:31:50,697 --> 00:31:54,217
Speaker 1: because it was already established constitutional in Terry vi. Ohio

612
00:31:54,257 --> 00:31:56,577
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty four in the US Supreme Court. So

613
00:31:56,657 --> 00:31:59,577
Speaker 1: this judge handed down a decision that flew in the

614
00:31:59,577 --> 00:32:02,097
Speaker 1: face of Supreme court precedent, he would have been overturned

615
00:32:02,137 --> 00:32:06,137
Speaker 1: summarily in a day, but no one, not Deblasio, and

616
00:32:06,177 --> 00:32:09,857
Speaker 1: now Adams is challenging that decision, appealing that decision and

617
00:32:10,137 --> 00:32:13,537
Speaker 1: putting stopping frisk back in the NYPD's toolbox and with

618
00:32:13,697 --> 00:32:18,017
Speaker 1: broken windows. Rigialiani strategy of broken windows and stopping frisk

619
00:32:18,777 --> 00:32:21,937
Speaker 1: was very simple. The bad guys were in check, murders dropped,

620
00:32:22,057 --> 00:32:25,777
Speaker 1: armed robberies dropped. The NYPD is cheating itself by not

621
00:32:25,897 --> 00:32:29,817
Speaker 1: having that tool. Why does it work? Because people now

622
00:32:30,417 --> 00:32:34,657
Speaker 1: say the line is stopping frisk doesn't work. People say

623
00:32:34,737 --> 00:32:37,057
Speaker 1: this as though that's a that's a decided fact. I

624
00:32:37,057 --> 00:32:38,697
Speaker 1: mean they also say walls don't work. I mean, there's

625
00:32:38,697 --> 00:32:42,177
Speaker 1: a lot of things. Vaccines do. The COVID vaccines, I

626
00:32:42,177 --> 00:32:43,897
Speaker 1: should say, do work. There's a lot of things people

627
00:32:43,897 --> 00:32:46,937
Speaker 1: say that don't really work. Aren't really true. Why does

628
00:32:46,937 --> 00:32:49,657
Speaker 1: stopping frisk work? We'll tell you. Okay, So let me

629
00:32:49,657 --> 00:32:51,097
Speaker 1: add one thing. The other thing that was done to

630
00:32:51,097 --> 00:32:53,577
Speaker 1: the NYPD that was simply moronic. If they got rid

631
00:32:53,577 --> 00:32:56,697
Speaker 1: of the plane, closed units, precinct level anti crime units,

632
00:32:56,737 --> 00:32:58,697
Speaker 1: and street crime units. So why are all those things

633
00:32:58,777 --> 00:33:03,457
Speaker 1: work to become an officer or and subsequently detective in

634
00:33:04,017 --> 00:33:06,697
Speaker 1: street crime unit that no longer exists or anti crime units.

635
00:33:07,057 --> 00:33:09,457
Speaker 1: You ought to be a really proactive street cop with

636
00:33:09,577 --> 00:33:15,417
Speaker 1: a they really clean an impressive activity report, right, so

637
00:33:15,457 --> 00:33:18,217
Speaker 1: you couldn't have excessive complaints you They wanted to have

638
00:33:18,257 --> 00:33:20,657
Speaker 1: a lot of gun collars, gun arrests on robbery arrests.

639
00:33:20,897 --> 00:33:22,937
Speaker 1: So what do you have down now? You've got squads

640
00:33:22,937 --> 00:33:28,217
Speaker 1: of men and women with tremendous collective experience with a

641
00:33:28,257 --> 00:33:30,417
Speaker 1: tool in their toolbox that allows them to go through

642
00:33:30,537 --> 00:33:32,697
Speaker 1: high crime areas. Say an area has a condition of

643
00:33:32,817 --> 00:33:37,017
Speaker 1: armed robberies or attempted murders or gang shootings. They know

644
00:33:37,137 --> 00:33:38,857
Speaker 1: what to look for. They in order to look for

645
00:33:38,937 --> 00:33:41,417
Speaker 1: the bulge in the waistpan, the drooping pocket, the way

646
00:33:41,417 --> 00:33:44,977
Speaker 1: a gun might fall, the way a shotgun might be concealed,

647
00:33:45,137 --> 00:33:47,857
Speaker 1: a sawt off down the leg of someone's pants. If

648
00:33:47,897 --> 00:33:50,057
Speaker 1: they're going to do a gang shooting or a drive by,

649
00:33:50,577 --> 00:33:53,217
Speaker 1: stop and first enable them to get out of their vehicle,

650
00:33:53,377 --> 00:33:57,857
Speaker 1: engage the person in conversation, and if if they saw

651
00:33:57,977 --> 00:34:01,697
Speaker 1: something the shape consistent with that of a firearm or

652
00:34:01,737 --> 00:34:05,257
Speaker 1: other weapon, they could conduct a pat down, not a search.

653
00:34:05,337 --> 00:34:07,537
Speaker 1: Couldn't go in in the clothing, in the pockets a

654
00:34:07,617 --> 00:34:11,657
Speaker 1: pat down. If that pat down revealed something consistent with

655
00:34:11,697 --> 00:34:14,697
Speaker 1: a weapon, say it was three cylinders, you can then

656
00:34:14,737 --> 00:34:16,777
Speaker 1: go in the pocket. Now, if they turned out not

657
00:34:16,777 --> 00:34:19,177
Speaker 1: to be ammunition but crack files, that would be admissible.

658
00:34:19,897 --> 00:34:23,497
Speaker 1: Typically though a gun feels like a gun, and then

659
00:34:23,497 --> 00:34:25,977
Speaker 1: you can obviously go into the clothing, remove the weapon,

660
00:34:26,097 --> 00:34:28,817
Speaker 1: secure the scene. If it's a legal, licensed weapon, everybody

661
00:34:28,817 --> 00:34:30,697
Speaker 1: goes on their way. If it's not, people go to jail.

662
00:34:31,817 --> 00:34:35,857
Speaker 1: It wasn't this indiscriminate. Let's go out there, stop everybody,

663
00:34:35,897 --> 00:34:37,937
Speaker 1: toss and throw them on the ground. No, you had

664
00:34:37,937 --> 00:34:40,897
Speaker 1: to notify a supervisor. You had to fill out the form.

665
00:34:40,937 --> 00:34:43,217
Speaker 1: I believe it was the UF two four to nine form,

666
00:34:43,257 --> 00:34:44,897
Speaker 1: going back with a few years for me, you had

667
00:34:44,897 --> 00:34:48,737
Speaker 1: to fill that out in triplicate. One went to your supervisor,

668
00:34:48,737 --> 00:34:50,857
Speaker 1: one went to the command. The other went to the

669
00:34:50,857 --> 00:34:54,377
Speaker 1: precincts Integrity control officer, which was typically a lieutenant who

670
00:34:54,417 --> 00:34:57,657
Speaker 1: was essentially the internal affairs resident in that command. There

671
00:34:57,737 --> 00:35:01,137
Speaker 1: was tremendous oversight. There were three levels of checks and

672
00:35:01,217 --> 00:35:03,697
Speaker 1: balance to make sure this wasn't abused. And it was

673
00:35:03,737 --> 00:35:06,617
Speaker 1: a tool that enabled the police to be proactive. So

674
00:35:06,657 --> 00:35:08,577
Speaker 1: when you get rid of those plane closed units, and

675
00:35:08,617 --> 00:35:10,817
Speaker 1: you get rid of a tool like stopping risk, you're

676
00:35:10,857 --> 00:35:14,017
Speaker 1: only left being reactive, meaning you show up after the

677
00:35:14,057 --> 00:35:16,617
Speaker 1: person they shot or dead because you weren't able to

678
00:35:16,697 --> 00:35:19,577
Speaker 1: go out there to the areas you knew there were problems,

679
00:35:19,577 --> 00:35:22,697
Speaker 1: focusing on the people you knew were problems and get

680
00:35:22,737 --> 00:35:25,297
Speaker 1: in front of the murder, the attempted murder, the armed robbery,

681
00:35:25,377 --> 00:35:28,497
Speaker 1: the armed rape before it happened. And that's why it works.

682
00:35:28,737 --> 00:35:30,497
Speaker 1: Have you seen some of these This is on a

683
00:35:30,697 --> 00:35:33,337
Speaker 1: much less important, serious issue, but have you seen these

684
00:35:33,457 --> 00:35:38,977
Speaker 1: videos where activists try to get cops to request their

685
00:35:39,057 --> 00:35:41,097
Speaker 1: name and ID? If? This is all over the internet

686
00:35:41,097 --> 00:35:44,257
Speaker 1: now all the time, and you know you were actually

687
00:35:44,257 --> 00:35:46,057
Speaker 1: a guy on the job. I mean, I John knows

688
00:35:46,097 --> 00:35:48,657
Speaker 1: this because we're good buddies, But I mean I was

689
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:52,737
Speaker 1: sent by the CIA to do some analysis assistance to

690
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,817
Speaker 1: the Intelligence Division the MYPD, but I never I never

691
00:35:55,817 --> 00:35:57,297
Speaker 1: had a badge and a gun at the m YPD,

692
00:35:57,377 --> 00:35:59,097
Speaker 1: so I didn't actually do arrests and things like that.

693
00:35:59,137 --> 00:36:03,377
Speaker 1: You did. So what is the actual now? I understand

694
00:36:03,417 --> 00:36:04,977
Speaker 1: it can vary by jurisdiction, but I mean, if you're

695
00:36:04,977 --> 00:36:07,217
Speaker 1: in New York, what do you have to tell a

696
00:36:07,257 --> 00:36:09,297
Speaker 1: cop when he comes up to you? And because some

697
00:36:09,297 --> 00:36:11,577
Speaker 1: of these guys I remember, or there's one guy who's like,

698
00:36:11,657 --> 00:36:13,377
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you anything, and the cops like, no,

699
00:36:13,457 --> 00:36:16,617
Speaker 1: I this is the this is the infraction. I mean,

700
00:36:16,657 --> 00:36:19,017
Speaker 1: I have reason to believe you've committed the fault that

701
00:36:19,057 --> 00:36:22,457
Speaker 1: you know you are trespassing on private property. And the

702
00:36:22,537 --> 00:36:24,697
Speaker 1: guy's like, well, no, no, I'm not and I'm not

703
00:36:24,697 --> 00:36:26,137
Speaker 1: telling you my name. And he's like, well, now you're

704
00:36:26,137 --> 00:36:29,657
Speaker 1: getting arrested, all right, So yeah, how does it work?

705
00:36:30,337 --> 00:36:32,217
Speaker 1: So yeah, so it's a good question. Right, So there's

706
00:36:32,217 --> 00:36:35,337
Speaker 1: the three levels. Right, you have a mere suspicion, reasonable suspicion,

707
00:36:35,337 --> 00:36:39,977
Speaker 1: and probable cause. Okay, mere suspicion is I'm on patrol

708
00:36:40,337 --> 00:36:43,657
Speaker 1: in a warehouse district. You're walking down the street at

709
00:36:43,657 --> 00:36:45,457
Speaker 1: three o'clock in the morning in an area where people

710
00:36:45,857 --> 00:36:49,177
Speaker 1: typically are not I really have no reason to engage

711
00:36:49,177 --> 00:36:50,937
Speaker 1: you in any way, shape or For sure, I'm going

712
00:36:50,977 --> 00:36:52,657
Speaker 1: to be a little suspicious why are you there? But

713
00:36:53,097 --> 00:36:54,937
Speaker 1: typically I'm just going to roll around the block a

714
00:36:55,017 --> 00:36:57,577
Speaker 1: couple of times and if I see, you know, a

715
00:36:57,617 --> 00:37:00,337
Speaker 1: taxi cab come pick you up. Okay, you know you

716
00:37:00,457 --> 00:37:02,537
Speaker 1: probably got lost. Whatever you call the cab, the cab

717
00:37:02,537 --> 00:37:05,537
Speaker 1: come together, are you obercame to get you? Reasonable suspicion

718
00:37:05,577 --> 00:37:08,657
Speaker 1: now would be you walk up to this warehouse. You're

719
00:37:09,097 --> 00:37:11,577
Speaker 1: kind of pulling on the wind bar as you're scheduling

720
00:37:11,617 --> 00:37:13,457
Speaker 1: the door locks. Now I'm going to go up and

721
00:37:13,457 --> 00:37:15,497
Speaker 1: engage you in conversation. What are you doing? Oh hey,

722
00:37:16,017 --> 00:37:19,217
Speaker 1: I'm John Smith. I work here. I'm an engineer. Inside,

723
00:37:19,217 --> 00:37:21,617
Speaker 1: I'm a machinist. I want to see the door was open.

724
00:37:21,657 --> 00:37:24,617
Speaker 1: I left something here at work. Here's my business carner.

725
00:37:24,657 --> 00:37:27,417
Speaker 1: Here's my boss's name, call him up. Here's my life.

726
00:37:27,457 --> 00:37:29,097
Speaker 1: You know in this situation, I'm like that. Okay, the

727
00:37:29,137 --> 00:37:30,897
Speaker 1: guy probably really does work here. He's giving me the

728
00:37:30,977 --> 00:37:33,657
Speaker 1: right name of the company. Probable causes. I'm watching you

729
00:37:33,737 --> 00:37:37,217
Speaker 1: smash the window. Or somebody called nine one one and

730
00:37:37,377 --> 00:37:40,177
Speaker 1: said we own this property, or we live across the

731
00:37:40,177 --> 00:37:41,937
Speaker 1: street from this property. We know the owners, we know

732
00:37:42,017 --> 00:37:44,457
Speaker 1: everybody there. We call the owners and the employees. They

733
00:37:44,537 --> 00:37:47,537
Speaker 1: don't know this person. He's inside the chain link fence

734
00:37:47,617 --> 00:37:50,737
Speaker 1: in the lot. Now we have reasonable suspicion leading the

735
00:37:50,777 --> 00:37:54,217
Speaker 1: probable cause. So when a police officer says, we think

736
00:37:54,217 --> 00:37:58,257
Speaker 1: you're criminally trespassing. Typically there's some stuff behind that. There's

737
00:37:58,257 --> 00:38:00,217
Speaker 1: a nine one one call, or this person fits a

738
00:38:00,217 --> 00:38:05,057
Speaker 1: description of somebody that intelligence report said was burglarizing in

739
00:38:05,097 --> 00:38:08,417
Speaker 1: the area. There are reasons that you would tell somebody

740
00:38:08,817 --> 00:38:11,137
Speaker 1: they could possibly face arrest for that. It's not just

741
00:38:11,177 --> 00:38:14,617
Speaker 1: done in a vacuum and indiscriminate. So that's general thirty

742
00:38:14,617 --> 00:38:17,617
Speaker 1: thousand foot view of how it all works. But so

743
00:38:17,737 --> 00:38:19,617
Speaker 1: if a guy is walking around, let's say, in a

744
00:38:19,897 --> 00:38:23,137
Speaker 1: in a public park, and the cops come up to

745
00:38:23,217 --> 00:38:25,737
Speaker 1: him and they say, hey, hey, what's your name, what

746
00:38:25,777 --> 00:38:29,977
Speaker 1: are you doing here? In that circumstance he is, you

747
00:38:30,017 --> 00:38:35,097
Speaker 1: can say, I'm not speaking to you right, like, yeah, now,

748
00:38:35,617 --> 00:38:38,097
Speaker 1: if this okay, So that's a scenario if they got

749
00:38:38,177 --> 00:38:42,097
Speaker 1: no call. However, if somebody called nine one one and said,

750
00:38:42,297 --> 00:38:45,777
Speaker 1: this guy mail has found at five foot ten, dark

751
00:38:45,817 --> 00:38:49,417
Speaker 1: hair and eyes, green bubble jacket like a down jacket,

752
00:38:49,417 --> 00:38:53,017
Speaker 1: blue jeans, white sneakers, was trying to entice children into

753
00:38:53,057 --> 00:38:56,857
Speaker 1: his vehicle. Now you can hold him. Now you can

754
00:38:56,857 --> 00:38:58,417
Speaker 1: try to find the people who called nine one one

755
00:38:58,457 --> 00:39:01,617
Speaker 1: with callback numbers, ask them if they'll show up there

756
00:39:02,017 --> 00:39:04,257
Speaker 1: and see if he's the person that they were talking about.

757
00:39:04,257 --> 00:39:08,097
Speaker 1: If they can identify him, then you can detain. So see,

758
00:39:08,137 --> 00:39:09,777
Speaker 1: I think this is where I think this is where

759
00:39:09,777 --> 00:39:12,977
Speaker 1: some these videos it gets interesting because the you know,

760
00:39:13,017 --> 00:39:15,457
Speaker 1: the activist or what and they're trying to bait police

761
00:39:15,497 --> 00:39:17,217
Speaker 1: officers into this. By the way, this is this whole

762
00:39:17,297 --> 00:39:20,337
Speaker 1: there's this whole culture of this um and it gets

763
00:39:20,377 --> 00:39:21,977
Speaker 1: a lot of video views and people are like, oh,

764
00:39:22,017 --> 00:39:24,377
Speaker 1: look at the cops, the whole thing. Um, it's by

765
00:39:24,377 --> 00:39:25,977
Speaker 1: the way. Sometimes for the cops, I feel like it's

766
00:39:26,017 --> 00:39:31,617
Speaker 1: almost an advertisement because some of these cops are super polite, efficient,

767
00:39:31,777 --> 00:39:36,057
Speaker 1: know the law backwards and forwards, unshakable, you know, you know, yes, no.

768
00:39:36,737 --> 00:39:38,457
Speaker 1: But it gets a little bit that that's in a

769
00:39:38,457 --> 00:39:40,497
Speaker 1: situation where the guy just walks up and he actually

770
00:39:40,497 --> 00:39:42,937
Speaker 1: doesn't have problem. Calls you laid out. But sometimes I'll

771
00:39:42,937 --> 00:39:45,017
Speaker 1: say no, no, someone called me and they think you're

772
00:39:45,017 --> 00:39:47,137
Speaker 1: trying to break in. You know, there's a break in

773
00:39:47,217 --> 00:39:50,817
Speaker 1: call and or you know there's there's a trespass call

774
00:39:50,977 --> 00:39:52,737
Speaker 1: and I need to know who you are, and they're

775
00:39:52,777 --> 00:39:56,177
Speaker 1: just like no, And then the cops get into this. Well,

776
00:39:56,217 --> 00:39:59,137
Speaker 1: I'm going to like wrestle you to the ground and

777
00:39:59,257 --> 00:40:01,897
Speaker 1: maybe tays you if you don't stop this, I'm not

778
00:40:01,977 --> 00:40:04,857
Speaker 1: going to allow you to detain me thing, right, I

779
00:40:04,857 --> 00:40:07,017
Speaker 1: mean that's you do get the sense sometimes that there's

780
00:40:07,017 --> 00:40:10,337
Speaker 1: this this nose people have where law enforcement says I

781
00:40:10,377 --> 00:40:12,737
Speaker 1: am going to detain you, and then people just say, no,

782
00:40:12,857 --> 00:40:17,857
Speaker 1: you're not. That's a good move. Most people are normally ugly.

783
00:40:17,937 --> 00:40:20,177
Speaker 1: The case in point. Personal experience got two nine one

784
00:40:20,217 --> 00:40:23,817
Speaker 1: one calls one night for a young male Black and

785
00:40:23,857 --> 00:40:26,137
Speaker 1: a young female Black. He was wearing a black chaf

786
00:40:26,337 --> 00:40:27,977
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, but I remember it. She was wearing

787
00:40:27,977 --> 00:40:30,257
Speaker 1: a red red They called him bubble jackets, you know

788
00:40:30,337 --> 00:40:32,177
Speaker 1: down the north facet head. Oh I remember, Yeah, those

789
00:40:32,217 --> 00:40:36,617
Speaker 1: are very popular black battle jacket, carrying a firearm on

790
00:40:36,697 --> 00:40:39,177
Speaker 1: his right hip, and the gun was described as a

791
00:40:39,217 --> 00:40:43,097
Speaker 1: revolver with a stainless deel finish. Pretty specific, right. They

792
00:40:43,137 --> 00:40:44,777
Speaker 1: described where they were walking. So we were a couple

793
00:40:44,817 --> 00:40:47,177
Speaker 1: of blocks away. We turned the corner and no lights.

794
00:40:47,177 --> 00:40:50,057
Speaker 1: Those sirens were in playing clothes and yeah we saw them.

795
00:40:50,297 --> 00:40:51,977
Speaker 1: So I get out of the car. We id ourselves,

796
00:40:52,017 --> 00:40:53,657
Speaker 1: said hey, can we see your hands? And the guy says,

797
00:40:54,017 --> 00:40:55,457
Speaker 1: you've got a nine one call for a gun, and

798
00:40:55,497 --> 00:40:57,937
Speaker 1: we said yeah. He said, hey, I'm an armored car driver.

799
00:40:57,977 --> 00:40:59,737
Speaker 1: I'm on my way to work. I've got my license.

800
00:40:59,777 --> 00:41:01,137
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to have the gun too. And from I

801
00:41:01,137 --> 00:41:03,217
Speaker 1: said you are, I said, can I reach for my licensure?

802
00:41:03,297 --> 00:41:06,097
Speaker 1: No problem, pulled it out. He was licensed. It was

803
00:41:06,137 --> 00:41:08,377
Speaker 1: all legit. He was an armed car driver going to

804
00:41:08,417 --> 00:41:12,097
Speaker 1: work with his girlfriend. End a story. The exchange lasted

805
00:41:12,177 --> 00:41:14,577
Speaker 1: ten seconds. We shook hands, have a great night, be safe.

806
00:41:15,217 --> 00:41:18,217
Speaker 1: That's how ninety nine point nine percent of these go.

807
00:41:18,377 --> 00:41:21,137
Speaker 1: Even when it's a mistake, these people that want to

808
00:41:21,137 --> 00:41:24,177
Speaker 1: put this on video do everything that truly can to

809
00:41:24,257 --> 00:41:27,257
Speaker 1: instigate the situation far beyond wherever need to go. In

810
00:41:27,257 --> 00:41:30,137
Speaker 1: my opinion. Oh, I know, I've seen some of them

811
00:41:30,297 --> 00:41:32,937
Speaker 1: where where it's it's clear that they are trying to

812
00:41:33,377 --> 00:41:35,777
Speaker 1: say the officer. Occasionally you see, Look, you also get

813
00:41:35,817 --> 00:41:38,857
Speaker 1: some of these officers who are a little bit like

814
00:41:38,897 --> 00:41:41,057
Speaker 1: the airline attendance with the mask rules, you know, the

815
00:41:41,097 --> 00:41:43,137
Speaker 1: little drunk on power you do what I say and

816
00:41:43,177 --> 00:41:45,457
Speaker 1: everything else, and those the videos that go super viral,

817
00:41:45,497 --> 00:41:47,897
Speaker 1: because that actually isn't what the law is, right, It's

818
00:41:47,897 --> 00:41:49,857
Speaker 1: not just you know, you have to stay here because

819
00:41:49,897 --> 00:41:51,537
Speaker 1: I say so, because I'm an officer, and you know,

820
00:41:51,737 --> 00:41:53,937
Speaker 1: look at my buff arms. I look tough. Yea, that

821
00:41:53,977 --> 00:41:56,257
Speaker 1: doesn't that's not a good look. The guy doesn't have

822
00:41:56,297 --> 00:41:59,257
Speaker 1: cardialo arms obviously, although you might have cardillo you might

823
00:41:59,297 --> 00:42:02,897
Speaker 1: have cardillo tats, because John, you gotta, you gotta are

824
00:42:03,217 --> 00:42:06,017
Speaker 1: these like relatively new as as I'm talking to you.

825
00:42:06,097 --> 00:42:09,337
Speaker 1: For those who are listening and can't see, he's got

826
00:42:09,417 --> 00:42:12,297
Speaker 1: like the Lord of the Rings trilogy written on his

827
00:42:12,457 --> 00:42:15,017
Speaker 1: right arm on the inside there like it's it's it's

828
00:42:15,057 --> 00:42:20,417
Speaker 1: a it's a not a novella, for sure. This is

829
00:42:20,617 --> 00:42:22,297
Speaker 1: um okay, I'm see how I get it in the

830
00:42:22,337 --> 00:42:26,217
Speaker 1: camera here everything's reversed. This is Thomas H. Teddy Roosevelt

831
00:42:26,217 --> 00:42:29,857
Speaker 1: Man in the arena, truncated of course, because it's a

832
00:42:29,897 --> 00:42:31,937
Speaker 1: lot longer. I don't know over the years, I've just

833
00:42:31,977 --> 00:42:34,097
Speaker 1: been putting them together. I don't have a number, like

834
00:42:34,137 --> 00:42:36,457
Speaker 1: how many tats. By the way, tattoo, I just came

835
00:42:36,497 --> 00:42:39,097
Speaker 1: back from Bora, Bora, and I like to tell people

836
00:42:39,217 --> 00:42:43,417
Speaker 1: fun fun fact. Tattoo comes from Tahiti. That is the

837
00:42:43,457 --> 00:42:47,057
Speaker 1: origin of the uh and it's a tribal you think

838
00:42:47,057 --> 00:42:50,857
Speaker 1: of Polynesian and tribal tattoos. This is where we get

839
00:42:50,897 --> 00:42:54,417
Speaker 1: the word comes from. By the way, when you're over there,

840
00:42:54,457 --> 00:42:56,337
Speaker 1: you'll see men and women, I mean women will have

841
00:42:56,457 --> 00:42:58,337
Speaker 1: well you see this everywhere now, but women will have

842
00:42:58,377 --> 00:43:02,217
Speaker 1: these really ornate tribal tattoos across like their shoulder. Usually

843
00:43:02,777 --> 00:43:04,177
Speaker 1: some of the men do. And obviously when you get

844
00:43:04,177 --> 00:43:09,057
Speaker 1: into the some of the indigenous population of Australia and

845
00:43:09,097 --> 00:43:11,457
Speaker 1: New Zealand. New Zealand's specifically the Mayori, they did they

846
00:43:11,457 --> 00:43:16,537
Speaker 1: have the face face, really intricate face tattoo. But so

847
00:43:16,777 --> 00:43:18,857
Speaker 1: sod you have a number for how many you have total,

848
00:43:18,937 --> 00:43:22,377
Speaker 1: here'll happen on A one two, about six or seven.

849
00:43:22,417 --> 00:43:24,777
Speaker 1: I guess at this point I'm just laughing because tomorrow

850
00:43:24,817 --> 00:43:30,617
Speaker 1: on Twitter, Buck Sexton sixteen nineteen advocate announces polonization of Polynesia.

851
00:43:30,657 --> 00:43:32,257
Speaker 1: You now, these people are going to spend this conversation

852
00:43:32,337 --> 00:43:35,857
Speaker 1: that they're all unatics. Oh yeah, I mean. One thing

853
00:43:35,897 --> 00:43:39,737
Speaker 1: I thought was so interesting about about Bora Bora um

854
00:43:40,937 --> 00:43:45,457
Speaker 1: was that there's a really positive relationship between and this

855
00:43:45,497 --> 00:43:47,217
Speaker 1: is from everyone I talked. Look, I was on vacation.

856
00:43:47,297 --> 00:43:49,537
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not you know, wasn't doing PhD research

857
00:43:49,617 --> 00:43:51,777
Speaker 1: or something there, But just from talking to everybody, the

858
00:43:52,737 --> 00:43:55,017
Speaker 1: look you go to. You go to some countries and

859
00:43:55,057 --> 00:43:58,057
Speaker 1: in some countries in the Caribbean, for example, and there's

860
00:43:58,057 --> 00:44:03,057
Speaker 1: still a lot of animosity toward the former colonial uh country,

861
00:44:03,097 --> 00:44:06,217
Speaker 1: colonial power, whatever it may be. In the case of

862
00:44:06,617 --> 00:44:10,697
Speaker 1: a place like French Polynesia, the relationship in the French

863
00:44:10,857 --> 00:44:14,537
Speaker 1: and the politicians is very strong. They all get EU

864
00:44:14,617 --> 00:44:18,217
Speaker 1: passports and they can travel freely back and forth, and

865
00:44:18,257 --> 00:44:20,617
Speaker 1: it's got the average I did a little research because

866
00:44:20,617 --> 00:44:24,457
Speaker 1: I was curious about the average per capita income or

867
00:44:24,497 --> 00:44:27,497
Speaker 1: gdpe per capita. I should say, uh, in this little

868
00:44:27,657 --> 00:44:29,857
Speaker 1: island chain of a couple hundred islands is like twenty

869
00:44:29,897 --> 00:44:33,177
Speaker 1: two thousand US a year, which is actually high. I mean,

870
00:44:33,177 --> 00:44:36,817
Speaker 1: that's you're you're basically at I mean, that's what you'd

871
00:44:36,817 --> 00:44:38,257
Speaker 1: have in a lot of you know, some of the

872
00:44:38,297 --> 00:44:40,497
Speaker 1: Eastern European countries I think would be maybe a little

873
00:44:40,537 --> 00:44:43,857
Speaker 1: higher than that. But you know, it's comparatively to some

874
00:44:44,937 --> 00:44:48,657
Speaker 1: places in more remote parts of the world. I mean,

875
00:44:48,657 --> 00:44:51,697
Speaker 1: that's a that's a very solid and you just you

876
00:44:51,697 --> 00:44:54,977
Speaker 1: don't get the sense that there's a real animosity toward

877
00:44:55,097 --> 00:44:57,977
Speaker 1: the former colonial authority. The French and you get all

878
00:44:57,977 --> 00:45:02,017
Speaker 1: the nice croissants and the tasty food and the beautiful weather.

879
00:45:02,097 --> 00:45:03,817
Speaker 1: So Bora Bora A big fan of it, I gotta

880
00:45:03,857 --> 00:45:06,537
Speaker 1: tell you, Yeah, the being of the beer. There's always

881
00:45:06,537 --> 00:45:08,777
Speaker 1: been the old debate that whiskey colonies and the wine colonies,

882
00:45:08,817 --> 00:45:10,537
Speaker 1: you know, how do they how do they fair? Right?

883
00:45:10,537 --> 00:45:13,137
Speaker 1: But that's interesting because then you look at Haiti, right,

884
00:45:13,177 --> 00:45:15,697
Speaker 1: it's the exact opposite. You go down to Polynesia, well,

885
00:45:15,697 --> 00:45:17,417
Speaker 1: and you gotta wonder what, you know, what's the cause

886
00:45:17,457 --> 00:45:19,737
Speaker 1: of that was there were the trade routes coming through

887
00:45:20,177 --> 00:45:23,497
Speaker 1: Polynesian war and then just they were building that wealth

888
00:45:24,057 --> 00:45:26,337
Speaker 1: for a longer period of time. Natural disasters, I don't know,

889
00:45:26,337 --> 00:45:30,417
Speaker 1: but that is an interesting metric. Former British colonies, um,

890
00:45:30,577 --> 00:45:35,217
Speaker 1: you can tell always have like you go to whole range,

891
00:45:35,257 --> 00:45:37,897
Speaker 1: a whole range of places, but the former British colonies,

892
00:45:38,177 --> 00:45:42,497
Speaker 1: they always leave behind their language, their roads and their law.

893
00:45:43,257 --> 00:45:46,377
Speaker 1: And that's just you just have that in every place

894
00:45:46,417 --> 00:45:50,297
Speaker 1: the British and whether it's Canada or it's um. You know,

895
00:45:50,737 --> 00:45:53,297
Speaker 1: name a place where the British you know, India, I mean,

896
00:45:53,297 --> 00:45:56,177
Speaker 1: you know they're there left. India has like two hundred languages.

897
00:45:56,217 --> 00:45:59,377
Speaker 1: But it was obviously a lot of English speaking spoken there. Um,

898
00:46:00,097 --> 00:46:02,657
Speaker 1: the French leave behind their food, that's really what's so

899
00:46:02,977 --> 00:46:05,097
Speaker 1: that's you know, you're no more a French colony. You're like,

900
00:46:05,137 --> 00:46:07,057
Speaker 1: I mean, I can get steak free. So that is

901
00:46:07,097 --> 00:46:09,977
Speaker 1: kind of exciting. Yep, yep, yeah, so that's it. What

902
00:46:10,057 --> 00:46:13,617
Speaker 1: What is the card What is the Cardillo travel destination?

903
00:46:13,977 --> 00:46:17,297
Speaker 1: That is that is either top recommendation or next on

904
00:46:17,337 --> 00:46:19,417
Speaker 1: the list. Since we're we're having some fun and talking

905
00:46:19,417 --> 00:46:22,377
Speaker 1: about the random things, you know that that is an

906
00:46:22,497 --> 00:46:29,057
Speaker 1: interesting one. I'll tell you right now. Um, Sicily is

907
00:46:29,097 --> 00:46:32,577
Speaker 1: on my list. You we have a good mutual friend

908
00:46:32,617 --> 00:46:36,497
Speaker 1: of family with a home there, very good friends of mine,

909
00:46:36,537 --> 00:46:38,777
Speaker 1: and I was friends of yours as well, you know,

910
00:46:38,897 --> 00:46:41,457
Speaker 1: the daughter and I was with them for lunch today

911
00:46:41,457 --> 00:46:44,057
Speaker 1: and they were showing me picks of a place they're

912
00:46:44,057 --> 00:46:47,497
Speaker 1: thinking about buying there. And interestingly enough, if anybody watched

913
00:46:47,497 --> 00:46:50,017
