Booming job 19 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 1: numbers for Trump and the Democrats look like they need excuses, 20 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: not just on that, but also for his latest actions 21 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: with regard to Russia. We'll talk about that and where 22 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: the negotiations over the wall stand and will Roger Stone 23 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: be silenced by the statists who are chasing after him? 24 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: That in more coming up on the buck Sexton Show. 25 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show where the mission or 26 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 27 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again, The 28 00:01:50,800 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins, No, break it down for us? 29 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: What do these numbers mean? They mean that the economy 30 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: is still going strong and that actually employers aren't really 31 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: phased by the shutdown. I'll just point you to the 32 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: private payrolls number. They increase by almost three hundred thousand, 33 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: So that means while the government was partially shut down, 34 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: companies didn't hesitate to hire. It did not shake competence. 35 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: If you look at all of last year, and we 36 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: are coming off a bumper year for job creation, the 37 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: average per month for private employment within the choose, this 38 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: number is higher than the average for every month of 39 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: last year. So no, I would say, no effect really 40 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: in terms of a competence hit in terms of hiring 41 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: for private employers as a result of the shutdown, given 42 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: the other party got into office instead of being up 43 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: and having these phenomenal three hundred and four thousand jobs added, 44 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: and we had so many great months. And you know, 45 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: it's been a little bit tricky because I'm in the 46 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,279 Speaker 1: middle of some very big trade deals, which is disruptive 47 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: before you make it, but after you make it, those 48 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: deals are much better than they were before. I don't 49 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: even mean much better, I mean better like nobody's ever 50 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: seen before, but the strongest station in the world. So 51 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: that was really good. But those numbers were very, very impressive. 52 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: Who were doing fantastically well. So we'll take that every 53 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: single time. Welcome to the Buck, sex and Show everybody, 54 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: Happy Friday, Thank you for being here, coming to you 55 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: live from New York City, my hometown.

Yeah, but when it's cold, it stinks a 58 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: little less. You know. That's a good point. Yeah, that's 59 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: like I always tell people, if you're gonna go to Venice, 60 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 1: don't go in the summer. No doubt, those open canals 61 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: can get funk. Key also got DJ John the House 62 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: and special guests. Little Brother is visiting one of these 63 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: Sexon brothers Keats. He is here. He is in the house. 64 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: He is watching the magic unfold. I think this is 65 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: his first time in the whole thing. Yeah, and he 66 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: I just found out he works like two blocks away. 67 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: He's never come over. Yea, and what's all without that. 68 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: It's a little sad for me too. But all right, 69 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: we'll let him see. We'll let him see the super 70 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: fancy studio next door, the Hannity studio, you know where 71 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: everything is, just where the streets are paved of gold 72 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: and the microphones are made of Yeah, I don't know, 73 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: faberge eggs and things. So we'll take them over there 74 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: next Yeah, that's where the real that's where the real 75 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: magic happens. So we got things to talk about today. 76 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: We have a lot of talk about. Actually a pretty 77 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: out of nowhere breaking news story on Northam, not the 78 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: one about abortion. We got a different we'll talk to 79 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: you about later on this hour. I just saw it. 80 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna read in and make sure we bring that 81 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: to your attention. It's kind of a vague teaser, but 82 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: I think sometimes that's sometimes the best teasers are a 83 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: little bit vague. Obviously, the economy, we started off with 84 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: that three hundred four thousand jobs created in January. What 85 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: I remember being told that because of the government shutdown, 86 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: gonna have dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. You know, 87 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: I was told there's gonna be all this bad stuff 88 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: that happens because the shutdown. Well, everybody got paid, at 89 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: least all the federal government workers got paid. They're all 90 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: back at work, and the economy look like he's doing 91 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,679 Speaker 1: pretty well. Last month job growth picking up basically double 92 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: what they thought it would be, So that seems pretty significant. 93 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: That seems pretty significant to me. And this is one 94 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: of those days where you have to remember, we were 95 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: told that Trump was going to destroy the economy and 96 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: it would be terrible, and you know, he's so inept, 97 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: They say, he's so incapable of understanding any of this 98 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: that it's just a matter of time before things are 99 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: going to all collapse. Well, now we're going on what 100 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: we're in year three here, and things haven't collapsed. Things 101 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: are actually doing pretty well. So I'm gonna need someone 102 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: to tell me why we should turn over the keys 103 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: to our economy to the ideology of a twenty nine 104 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: year old bartender who seems to have problems with math. 105 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: If you want Okazio Cortez, Warren Sanders. If you want 106 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: them to be the ones making the decisions about the 107 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: economy and about America, then just be prepared to deal 108 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: with a lot of people that are short on answers 109 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: and long on sanctimony, a lot of Oh, it's just 110 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: to help the poor people, and why don't you want 111 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: to help the poor? You know, the best way to 112 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: help poor people is from a government perspective. Creatives robust 113 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: and rapidly growing in economy as possible, so people have 114 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: as much money as possible, so that communities are in 115 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: a position to help those who are in need and 116 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: who are less fortunate, and not just rely on a 117 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: massive government safety net, as we know, can often turn 118 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: into a hammock and has lots of long term, downstream 119 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: negative social ramifications. So that's a conversation, I suppose for 120 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: another time. It's going pretty well in Trump Land when 121 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: it comes to the economy. There's some other areas still 122 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: need a lot of work. We'll talk about the border 123 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: and what's going on there over the fight on the wall. 124 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: Still amazed. I still see people saying that walls don't work. 125 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to take what it's 126 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: gonna say. I wish we could set up some kind 127 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: of an experiment where anybody who says walls don't work, 128 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: we'll take them to a place and we'll say, hey, 129 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: we'll give you a thousand dollars if you get from 130 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: A to B, but we're gonna put a twenty foot 131 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: wall in your way and it's going to stretch for 132 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: you know, miles, and at the end of the wall, 133 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: we're also going to set up people who are in 134 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: vehicles who are there to prevent you from getting over 135 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: the wall. And there's surveillance systems attached to it, and 136 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: there's motion sensors attached to it. Yeah, let's see if 137 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: it's easy. Let's see how that goes for you. And 138 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: then you can tell me, well, if you can hop 139 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: over the twenty foot wall or the fifteen foot wall 140 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: with the motion sensors and the cameras and roving border patrols, 141 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: then we can have a conversation about how they don't work. 142 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: They're still saying it, and we're we're preparing for this 143 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: State of the Union address. I think the expectation is 144 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: that Trump's probably going to say that this is when 145 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: the national emergency will be declared, and national emergency is 146 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: not as as scary as it sounds. Keep in mind 147 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: that the people that are saying this is tyrannical. It's 148 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: a national emergency to build a fence, folks, Okay, it's 149 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: really what we're talking about. It's not a national emergency 150 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: to you know, seize your bank account or take anyone's 151 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: guns away, although Democrats would love that. You know, it's 152 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: not a national emergency that suspends habeas corpus or no. 153 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: It's a national emergency to build offense. I think will 154 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: be okay, you know, I think this will all be 155 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 1: all right, but it'll obviously go into the go into 156 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: the system, and there'll be a lot of legal back 157 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: and forth over it. But I think the Trump's basic 158 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: pitch on the economy and the good news is the 159 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: economy will be strong for the state of the Union. 160 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: And we've heard the Democrats over the last month being crazy. 161 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: The last thirty days has been really clarifying. You can't 162 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: let these people be in charge. You can argue with Trump, 163 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, if you're on the right, if you're a conservative, 164 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: if you if you despise Trump's persona and his personal 165 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, proclivities and everything else. That's one thing. If 166 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: you want to talk about how you know he didn't 167 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: move fast enough on the wall, he did not. He 168 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: is talking about DACA, which should be concerning. It's a 169 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: lot of areas to criticize Trump, but let's just remember that. 170 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: You know, you can work within the world of Trump 171 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: and the people around him on the economy. You can 172 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: work within the world of Trump and the people around 173 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: him on immigration and push for better ideas and better policy. 174 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: And Trump has done that right. Trump has adjusted what 175 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: he has been advocating for based on either the feedback 176 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: of the American people or feedback of experts, people in 177 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: Congress who know what's up. It's not very many of them. 178 00:09:53,200 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: But the alternative is the far left, infanticides, porting socialism, 179 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: loving open borders, wanting left. That's not a good look. 180 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: That's not a good thing. That's not going to help 181 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: this country at all. And you know they're going to 182 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: try to normalize to borrow work from a left. A 183 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: lot of this stuff that they're saying right now, a 184 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: lot of what you're hearing about a seventy percent or 185 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: a ninety percent tax rate, they're going to say, oh, well, 186 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: it'll look what happened in the fifties. Because the more 187 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: people pay attention to this and understand what the real 188 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: long term implications would be, the more likely it is 189 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: that they'll say, you know, I think I'll stick with 190 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: the I'll I'll stick with the capitalists over the commies. 191 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: You know, that's a rough approximation for the two sides. 192 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: But I think I'd rather go with people that believe 193 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: in individual individual rights and the free market and rewarding 194 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: success and hard work and keeping the government out of 195 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: your life over people who seem I think the government 196 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: has the answer to everything. The governor has he answered 197 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: everything we haven't answered. By the way, about Elizabeth Warren's DNA, 198 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: now she agrees that that was a mistake. I think 199 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: it's funny because CNN rolled that out initially, like, look, 200 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: she's proved all the haters wrong. No, CNN, but you 201 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: have proved all the haters right once again. Elizabeth Warren 202 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: has had to apologize. We'll see what comes next on that. 203 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: We've got more on immigration the wall. On this story 204 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: about Governor Northam, you are going to have to hear it. 205 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: That's coming up. I think Nancy Pelosi is hurting our 206 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: country very badly by doing what she's doing. And ultimately, 207 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: I think I've set the table very nicely. I think 208 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: people understand well, they understand Peter. They didn't know what 209 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: was going on in the southern border. Now they know. 210 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: They had no idea the amount of crime, the amount 211 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: of drugs, the amount of human trafficking, which can be 212 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: stopped with a proper system. I've set the table. I've 213 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: set the stage for doing what I'm going to do. Yeah, 214 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait till the fifteenth. I think it's a 215 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: waste of time. I hope the President's right. I do 216 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: think that more people than ever are aware of what's 217 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: happening at the border, and also know that the Democrats 218 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: have been lying. The media has been lying about what's 219 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: happening the border, this whole idea that barriers don't work, 220 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: that there's no crisis, that there's no problem, that border 221 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: patrol isn't overwhelmed, that there's not a systematic effort, you know, 222 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: a coordinated strategic effort to overwhelm our southern border with 223 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: asylum requests, with NGOs and all these legal aid organizations 224 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: helping pass the word down to people. What do you 225 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: need to say to game the system. You know, there 226 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: were these arrests for birth tourism that happened. You know, 227 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: these prosecutions that are underway now for birth tourism. Essentially, 228 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: women come from China, they stay in a hotel in 229 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: the US that is set up for this, They give 230 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: birth in that hotel. They make sure they get all 231 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: the paperwork and everything so that that baby is a 232 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: US citizen. Then they go home to China. But what 233 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: that means is that when the child is grown up 234 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: and wants to go to America for school, or wants 235 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: to go to America for whatever reason, they're a US citizen. 236 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: As a matter of law. They're is American as you 237 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: and me. But they grew up in Beijing or Shanghai, 238 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: maybe have no affinity or loyalty for this country whatsoever. 239 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: Now we're prosecuting them. This is a scam. People will 240 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: send will send individuals to prison. Prosecutors will send people 241 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: to prison for doing this because they recognize that it 242 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: is wrong. They recognize that this is an abuse of 243 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: the system. It's done in bad faith, and we cannot 244 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: allow it. But what I need to know, I need 245 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: the Democrats to explain because they can't. Is why is 246 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: it that when someone flies into a hotel, remember there, 247 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: at least they're paying money here, and you know they're 248 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: maybe boosting the economy a little bit. You could say, 249 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: they fly into La or San Francisco and the whole 250 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: purpose of it is to give birth in the US. 251 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: They are committing an a legal act, right The Chinese 252 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: national who shows up in La as part of a 253 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: scheme to give birth here, you know that's a legal 254 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: But a Honduran who shows up at our border nine 255 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: months pregnant and says I fear gang violence and knows 256 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: that she's going to be led into the US right away, 257 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: she's already lied about the gang violence. But who can 258 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: really prove that one or the other? And then she 259 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: gives birth in this country, and then that child is 260 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: an American citizen. What's what's really the difference? You know, 261 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure we could get some smug Democrat lawyer to 262 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: tell me, but well, we don't need that because we 263 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: know there is no difference. I mean, the difference between 264 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: birth tourism and people who show up here illegally and 265 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: give birth in this country is just a function of 266 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: the process. I mean there's it's the same idea. You're 267 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: going to break the law to get the benefits of 268 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: US citizenship for somebody, and that benefit, by the way, 269 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: also extends to the person who breaks the law. It's 270 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: not just for the child. You know, your US citizen 271 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: child can sponsor you later on in life to have 272 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: family reunification. And if you're not in favor of family reunification, 273 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: well then you're some kind of a monster. Then you're 274 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: a terrible person, and everyone should hate you and all 275 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: the rest of it. So, you know, think about it 276 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: this way. We're willing to prosecute birth tourism hotels, but 277 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: we're not willing to prosecute people who show up at 278 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: the border and lie and then don't show up for 279 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: their immigration hearing for asylum because they know that's not 280 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: the political will. This is all about political will. Remember, 281 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: tyranny is not the direct and strenuous but across the 282 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: board application of strict law. Tyranny is the capricious application 283 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: of law. It is the some people live by the law, 284 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: some people don't. That's what a real tyranny is. That's 285 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: what the Soviet Union was. That's what show me a country. 286 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: You know, look at North Korea. All North Koreans don't 287 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: live under strict laws. Kim John Un doesn't live under 288 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: strict laws. Kim Jong uns henchmen don't live under strict laws. Right, 289 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: So that's the way you need to think of what 290 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: is tyrannical when people are using the law as a 291 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: tool of politics and only enforcing against some people and 292 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: not against others. By the way, I just also, you know, 293 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: I think that Trump. I think that Trump has made 294 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: some progress on the border, and at least people understand 295 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: what's going on there. They know that anyone who says 296 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: walls don't work is just making stuff up and doesn't 297 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: know what the heck they're talking about. There. There's a 298 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: greater understanding of that now as well, which is important. 299 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you I'm not I am not 300 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: particularly optimistic that there will be any kind of a 301 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: deal with the Democrats on this. And all that's gonna 302 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: happen is it gonna be a declaration of national emergency 303 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: and then sure enough it'll go into the courts and 304 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: both sides will declare victory. We've got to deal with this. 305 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: Later on the show, we'll have an actual arms expert 306 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: come to tell us what's happening with the Russians and 307 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: this treaty. But it's not. It's so funny this week, 308 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: I've been hearing that Trump is Putin's puppet for a whole, 309 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: but in all, Trump is Putin's puppet. It's come a 310 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: bunch of times. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi is out there, and 311 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, she's saying that Trump is risking a new 312 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: arms race with Russia because he's not Putin's puppet. It 313 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: turns out he's not doing whatever Putin wants. And here's 314 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: what Trump had to say about that. He says, you're 315 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: resking new arms races. Honestly, I don't think she has 316 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: a clue. I really don't. I don't think Nancy has 317 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: a clue. And I see that when she says wolves 318 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: are a moral she doesn't have. She doesn't know, and 319 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: I wish she did, because she's hurting this country so badly. 320 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: It's all rhetorical, not delivered well, but it's all rhetorical. 321 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: She's hurting our country very very badly, even with statements 322 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: like that. Okay, thank you very much, everybody. It's true, 323 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: it's true. Hurting the country with statements like that doesn't 324 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have a clue is the most true part. Nancy blues. 325 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: He does not have a clue. I mean, she really 326 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: represents the classic Democrat machine, politician rich, disconnected from from 327 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: normal people, but ensconced in a in a just looney 328 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: liberal district in California, so there's no pressure on her 329 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: to be a normal person. She gets to just be 330 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: as far left as she wants and do whatever she wants. 331 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: And I just wish more people would see her for 332 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: what she is and all this stuff. But Trump's right. 333 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: At least Trump calls her out on that. We got 334 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: a lot more going up here in just a moment, team, 335 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: so stay with me. Well, he told he told the 336 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: attorneys that I'm not a subject. I'm not a target 337 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: of Yeah, oh yeah, about which I don't know. I 338 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: don't know about that that I don't know about. Not 339 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: a target. Trump says that rodenes he told the attorneys 340 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: that he's not a subject to the Russia probe. Totally 341 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: turns not a subject, not a target. So that's from 342 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,479 Speaker 1: the New York Times interview on January thirty. First. All right, 343 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: so now here we have the president who is coming 344 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: out and saying all this stuff. The New York Times. Look, 345 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: people that that beat up on him for talking to 346 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: the Times because he says to the family New York 347 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: Times he trashes a lot. Yeah, but that's it still 348 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: has a wide readership. And if he didn't, if he 349 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: didn't talk to the New York Times, they would say, oh, 350 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: he's afraid and he's playing favorites and all this other stuff. Right, 351 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: if he wasn't willing to speak to the Times, then 352 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: the issue would be that, you know, he's he's hiding 353 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: from them. But so when he does speak, then he 354 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: of course Trump is damned if he does, damned if 355 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't. I mean, that's the way that it works 356 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: with this media, there's no question about it. But is 357 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: an interesting that he says that he's told he's not 358 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: a subject, not a target. I think we're gonna find 359 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: out at the end of this thing that they never 360 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: even came close, they never even came close to having anything, 361 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: you know, to get Trump on. And the stuff that 362 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: we've already heard, you know, the Trump Tower meeting and 363 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: the what's his name Cohen? Uh, that that's that's the 364 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: most quote damning stuff that they've got, and that's nowhere 365 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: near enough for anything, as we know, so there will 366 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: also come a time when we have to say, well, 367 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: hold on a minute, what exactly was all of this for? 368 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: What was all of this for? And the Democrats are 369 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: gonna say a whole lot of stuff, but Russia and 370 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,239 Speaker 1: the elections. But but the truth is that all of 371 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: this was a rage session. It was a kind of 372 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: anger therapy for Democrats that can't handle that Trump won 373 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: and that and then Hillary lost. That's really what the 374 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: Special Counsel has been all about from the beginning. I mean, 375 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: if anyone thinks that Russia is now afraid of us 376 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: and Russia is no longer going to meddle in elections, 377 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's hysterical, right. That's first of all, 378 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: Russian meddling in the election was pretty irrelevant, didn't you know? Pooh, 379 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: you're saying they didn't I'm not saying they didn't meddle. 380 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it didn't matter. If one person votes 381 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: twice in a national election, that means that there was 382 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: election fraud during the election. Does that mean that the 383 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: election shouldn't count? Of course not, because we need to 384 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: understand proportion. But the Left doesn't care about proportion. They 385 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: just care that they can make some case that is 386 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: technically or superficially accurate about Russia meddling in the election, 387 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: and then that just comes Russia medal Russia. This is 388 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: like what they do with climate change. Do you believe 389 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: in climate change? Yeah, sure, I believe in climate change. Well, 390 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: then you have to do all these things. I won't know. 391 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: I don't think the climate change means that there's this 392 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: catastrophic environmental global problem that we're you know, that's going 393 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,479 Speaker 1: to destroy us and kill us and all this other stuff, right, 394 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's so, so, there is that, um, but 395 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: also who gets who gets prosecuted for lying is going 396 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: to be something that we have to spend more time on. 397 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: Who gets prosecuted for lying is not something that we 398 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: should just let fly under the radar. Here Matt Gates, 399 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: who's a congressman, he spoke about this one recently, because 400 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: you know, I talked to Roger Stone, what yesterday, the 401 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: day before? Yeah, I guess it was yesterday. I supposed 402 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: to Roger Stone on By the way, I like Roger Stone, Mike, 403 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: You remember Rogerston. Rogers Stones is a he's an interesting character. 404 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: No never never him. He's a snappy dresser. Yeah, you know, 405 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: and he's a nice guy. You know, he's weird, I mean, 406 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: definitely weird. I'm not saying that. But he's sharp too. 407 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: He says insightful things. He knows who the worst people 408 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: at CNN are, which is fun. So we had a 409 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: nice chat about that. You know who who is worst 410 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: at CNN? He knows, he's he's correct, He's on the money. 411 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: He's also a fighter. I mean, he says that he's 412 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: he's got no plans to back down against the Special Counsel, 413 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: which is in a position to essentially bankrupt him and 414 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: maybe ruin his life, is in a position to do 415 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But he still says he's going to 416 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: fight it out. He's gonna keep fighting. And he's getting 417 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: prosecuted for lies about stuff that are Mickey mouse, They're 418 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: just not serious. And he's saying, you know, okay, well 419 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: I told them. You know, he said, plead the fifth 420 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: anything to protect the plan. He says he joked he 421 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: was making a joke, which when you read the full 422 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: context of one of the text messages, I believe he 423 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,239 Speaker 1: was joking, plead the fifth protect the plan, like he 424 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: was trying to be funny, and he's a weird guy, 425 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: so he tells weird jokes. That doesn't surprise me. They 426 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: want to lock him up in federal prison, and they 427 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: want to tell us that, oh, it's because the law 428 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: is the law. We know Democrats dun't believe that the 429 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: law wasn't the law. But it came to Hillary and 430 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: her emails wasn't the law, then how much is for sure? 431 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: There are a lot of other people that have told 432 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: lies to Congress that have not been criminally prosecuted. Former 433 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: Acting Director of the FBI, Andy McCabe, he told lies 434 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: to Congress. I'm sorry to the FBI. Rather, he told 435 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: lies the FBI, and he has not been prosecuted. Matt 436 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: Gates brought this up. I think he's correct on this 437 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: one play eight. I thought Robert Mueller was supposed to 438 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: be investigating Russia collusion. Now he's become a glorified Hall 439 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: monitor enforcing the provisions of lying to Congress. The problem 440 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: is that he's enforcing them unequally. Hillary Clinton said that 441 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: she didn't send to receive any classified email. We know 442 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: that's a lie. Jim Comey said he was never the 443 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: source or never the director of leaked information. He later 444 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: admitted that that was not true, even though it was 445 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: the subject of his sworn testimony before Congress. And you'll 446 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: remember Clapper told all of the American people before Congress 447 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: that there was no bulk collection of data. The deputy 448 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: director of the FBI, mister McCabe, he lied four times. 449 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: He lied so frequently he was demoted and referred for 450 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: criminal prosecution. But a whole lot of these other people 451 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: haven't been And it's it's the greatest evidence that Robert 452 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: Muller is not a person in search of the truth. 453 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: He's out to get Trump and the people close to Trump, 454 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: because if he wasn't, if he was unbiased, you would 455 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: have seen similar charges brought against these other people. The 456 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: whole thing is a get Trump operation, true, The whole 457 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: thing is a get Trump Democrat revenge plot. And I 458 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: was sitting around talking to some friends yesterday about this, 459 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: about how if you had told me a few years 460 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: ago that opposition research would be opposite of research about 461 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: a Republican president that claimed that he had been engaged 462 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: in all kinds of just bizarrely sexual and degrading acts 463 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: in Russia with prostitutes. You know, if you told me 464 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: that that would make its way not just to the 465 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: press who with no verification of it whatsoever, which still 466 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: they have no verification whatsoever, and that that would be 467 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: used as a document in the intelligence community to get 468 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: a fize a warrant on people. I mean to use 469 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: some of the most powerful tools the federal government has 470 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: for surveillance, and to do surveillance on people like Carter Page, 471 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: someone who is so clearly innocent of any wrongdoing and 472 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: not a threat to the United States. For any reasonable person, 473 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: I would have said, no way, But here we are. 474 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: But oh, they've got Roger Stone because he said he 475 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: emailed somebody when he called them, or he called them 476 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: when he actually emailed them. What a surprise. Democrats get away, 477 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: they get the benefit of the doubt. Republicans get get crushed. 478 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: They never get the benefit of the doubt. This is 479 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: not an accident. This is the weaponization of the justice 480 00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: apparatus against our side. It has to stop. And Mother 481 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: Probe is a giant Neon red flashing sign saying you 482 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: got to stop this now. Well, this is an unexpected 483 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: story for a Friday producer. Mike and I are just 484 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: seeing this now as we go on air and I 485 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: want to start by saying that there are certain certain 486 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: rules that we should all have in place. We talked 487 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: with these kind of stories. Right there's new information that 488 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: comes to light, we got to make sure that this 489 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: is verified, it's accurate, and know the full context, because 490 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: we have been hammering and rightly so hammering the left 491 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: and the left wing press for what they've been doing 492 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: recently where they see some kind of an opening to 493 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: spread a narrative and they just jump right into it 494 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: right away, and they don't wait for the facts. They 495 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: don't care about, you know, the possibility that they may 496 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: or may not be getting it wrong. They just want 497 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,239 Speaker 1: to know that they can tell the story. When they 498 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: can tell the story, and there you have it right. 499 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: So I don't want to do that because it's early, 500 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: but I do have to tell you. I mean, this 501 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: is the number. This is the biggest story on the 502 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: Drudge Report right now, and it is a doozy, it 503 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: is a wow kind of story. So Ralph Northam we'll 504 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: talk about later in the show again a little bit 505 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: because he's the guy who said those comments about abortion 506 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: on that radio show where he said, you know, you'll 507 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: take a baby out, make the baby comfortable and then 508 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: decide what to do with the baby when it's outside 509 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: the womb, which to anybody who was being honest and 510 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: was listening, sounds pretty pretty much like, you know, you 511 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: make a decision whether to kill a live baby or not, 512 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: which is in fantaside, which is murder. So this is 513 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: a guy speaking about a murderer like he's speaking about 514 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: somebody getting a hip replacement, you know, like you know, 515 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: after you figure it out, you get the hip and 516 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: you're done. So he had a very bad day estray, 517 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: and he came out today and was trying to trying 518 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: to say that you know, he's that's not what he said, 519 00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: or it was out of context, or you know, he 520 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: went defense, this is the governor of Virginia. We've got 521 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: a governor that Bill Crystal of the Weekly Standard and 522 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: some of the other super never trumpers were you know, 523 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: this is the kind of guy that we should be supporting, 524 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, a moderate Democrat or whatever, you know, the Yeats, 525 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: that's what they were saying. There was a lot of 526 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: that going on. This story just broke today and it 527 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: came out originally with Big League Politics in Big League Politics, 528 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: and it's Ralph Northam yearbook page. Now it's the Pilot 529 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,239 Speaker 1: online and it's Virginia, the Virginia Pilot rather, it has 530 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: picked this one up, so it's getting These are the 531 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: outlets that are picking this up. And it's purportedly a 532 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: yearbook page that's of Ralph Northam, not from high school, 533 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: which was what I initially thought. So he's not like 534 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: a fourteen or fifteen year old from medical school, which 535 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: means that he is. He is an adult, probably in 536 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: his you know, twenty, in his mid twenties. Let's say, 537 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: I don't know around there. But this is a page 538 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: from the nineteen eighty four, nineteen eighty four Virginia Medical 539 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: School yearbook and it says, well, I'm sorry, I forget 540 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: what it says. Well, no, it says Alma Mater, Virginia 541 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: Military Institute, Interest, et cetera, et cetera, Ralph Shearer Northam. 542 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: And on his personal yearbook page, if this is correct, 543 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: is a photo of a guy very clearly in black face. 544 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: And standing next to the person in blackface is someone 545 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: in a full ku Klux Klan uniform. I mean, you know, 546 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: the hat and the whole thing. KKK guy right there 547 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: on his page. Now, this has not been verified yet. 548 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: We don't know, you know, so, so, I mean it 549 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: looks it could it be a hoax? Yes, it could 550 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: be a hoax. Is there up CNN's running it right now. Yeah, 551 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,959 Speaker 1: CNN just popped up on CNN on their app on 552 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: tv UM. So yeah, it doesn't look like a hoax 553 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: to me. Man, looks looks like looks like Ralph Northum 554 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: is about twelve hours away from resigning. Yeah. It uh, 555 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: it's a privide a little context. CNN reports that it 556 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: was obtained by a CNN affiliate w t KR, and it, 557 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: like you just said, it appears in the nineteen eighty 558 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: four yearbook for the Eastern Virginia Medical School. So wow, 559 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: Virginia is gonna have to find a new governor. I think. 560 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: I don't think now there will be people that want 561 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: to have a discussion about, you know, how long ago 562 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: was this and I'm sure give it, give it, you know, 563 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: mark my words, producer, Mike. There will be some left 564 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: wing idiot who's like, right around the time when Brett 565 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: Covenol was, you know, raping women. They'll say that, right, 566 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: they'll say, oh and you th Cavanols. Okay, right, there's 567 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: no photo of Cavanaugh doing anything, because he didn't do anything. 568 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: In fact, no one can even tell where he was 569 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: or you know, there's no evidence at all. This in 570 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: a court you'd call evidence, you know, unless somebody went 571 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: back and engaged in a very elaborate, you know, Dan 572 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: Rather style document hoax. Here, this is, this is pretty 573 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: much I think this is lights out for Northaman. He 574 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: might have had the worst one two political punch here, 575 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: the worst twenty four hours of any politician since Anthony Weener. 576 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: I mean, this is about as who of course, as 577 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: we don't ended up going to federal prison. This is 578 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: about as bad as it gets. You know, killing babies, 579 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: Ralph Northam killing babies, okay, under our law, it's not 580 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: a big deal. And oh, by the way, when I 581 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: was in medical school, not even a high school student, 582 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: that wouldn't be okay. But at least he'd say he 583 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: was really young, and maybe there's some mitigation there. Uh college, 584 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, post grad student, I mean. And by the way, 585 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: people are already saying, you know, which way it's not 586 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: clear if he's in the black face or if he's 587 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: in the KKK uniform. I don't think it matters. I 588 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: don't think anyone's gonna identify one is worse than the 589 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: other for him. So I think he's Mike. What do 590 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: you think he's he toast? Can he survive this one? 591 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: I don't think so. But you know liberals have given 592 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: themselves passes on things, you know, Yeah, I mean Bird? 593 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: What's his name? A senator? Senator Robert Bird. He was 594 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: a grand Wizard of the KKK. Right, so he was 595 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: actually senior member other KKK. They became a beloved senator 596 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: from h what was it, West Virginia? H John? What 597 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: do you think this guy survived this one? Now? You 598 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: can just you can just nod your head. One of 599 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: the other. I'm not sure. How does it get into 600 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: a school yearbook? First of all, it's on his page. 601 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: You know how you picked the photos? This is like 602 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: his montage and one of his montage photios photos is 603 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: a By the way, how did say it has to 604 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: be a moderator to say this is inappropriate. That's why 605 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 1: I think I've been saying to Mike uh and here 606 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: that something's not right about that. It looks bad. I 607 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: saw the picture looks bad, but something's not right. And 608 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: a moderator of the yearbook would say something before that 609 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: I got into the book. Someone has to edit because 610 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: I've you know, I used to work on my yearbook. 611 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how much editing there was 612 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: for racial sensitivity at Eastern Virginia Medical School in the 613 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,959 Speaker 1: early eighties. Yeah, I don't think there was any. John. 614 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you. But if this were 615 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: like last year, I'd say, yeah, that seems you know, 616 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: particularly egregious in terms of missing the you know, in 617 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: terms of editors that would have said, what is this 618 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: and make sure it didn't go in the yearbook. Uh, 619 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: this looks pretty bad. I think. I think Governor Northam 620 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: is not going to be a Governor Northam all that 621 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 1: much longer. But we'll see it. Maybe he comes out says, 622 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: you know, I didn't that's not me, that's doctorate. I 623 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: wasn't in that fall. You know, you never know. But 624 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: what a strange thing for somebody to to fabricate, if 625 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: that worth the case. So I think he's in big 626 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: I think he's in big trouble. And it also just 627 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: goes to show you, man, you know, you get you 628 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 1: get out there in a way where everyone all of 629 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: a sudden wants to look into your stuff. It can 630 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: find stuff. You know, in the Internet era, people find 631 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: stuff really fast. But I think this is going to 632 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: be the end of the governorship of Routh Sheer Northam. 633 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: Morning Coffee is an American institution.

Encouraging companies to build their business models 653 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: on cheating people. That's not capitalism. That's not competition in 654 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: the marketplace. That's not producing consumer surplus. So what I 655 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: believe is capitalism with serious rules, and that means rules 656 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: where everybody gets chance to play. Elizabeth Warren is telling 657 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,800 Speaker 1: you where the Democrats really are on this. It's important 658 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 1: to heed what she is saying. This is going to 659 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: be a central fight, perhaps the central fight of the 660 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,959 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. We're getting a preview of it right now. 661 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: She's saying here is that capitalism without rules is theft. 662 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: Now that's a giant straw man. You know this, right, 663 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: We have a tremendous amount of rules in our system 664 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: of capitalism in this country. We have so many rules. 665 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,919 Speaker 1: But what she's saying is that they want to rewrite 666 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: the rules of capitalism, and they want to do it 667 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: by suggesting that if you don't agree with them, then 668 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: you are supporting theft. You know, this is a sort 669 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: of corollary or you know, this is a now aligus 670 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: in some way to behind every great fortune is a 671 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: great theft. You know, she believes that she believes that 672 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: people who are very successful financially, people are very successful 673 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: financially must have done so through illicit exploitation of other people. 674 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: You know, there must have been some laws that they broke. 675 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,840 Speaker 1: And here's the thing. If they didn't break laws, the 676 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: problem is that we don't have strong enough laws for 677 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: them to break. So they're gonna want to change this. 678 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: Remember she was somebody over at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 679 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: which is an agency that when Trump came in, they 680 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: basically said, sorry, we don't care that you're the commander 681 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: in chief and you're the head of the executive branch. 682 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: We're kind of outside of your purview, but we're still 683 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: a federal government agency. It's like, that's not how this 684 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: is supposed to work. But they tried to just burrow 685 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: in a lot. There's a lot of deep state burrowing 686 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: that has occurred at different all agencies. I can talk 687 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: to you about that maybe another time. But capitalism without 688 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: rules is theft serious rules. Everyone gets a chance to play. 689 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: There's very little here in terms of specifics, there's very 690 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: little that the Democrats that Warren and her ilk are 691 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: going to provide you with other than taxing the rich, 692 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,399 Speaker 1: taxing the billionaires, right, or as Bernie Sanders famous used 693 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:31,800 Speaker 1: to say, the millionaires and the billions. Elizaeth Warren's a millionaire. 694 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is definitely worth somewhere in the seven figures. 695 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: I don't know what. He's got three houses, so the 696 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: ottomillion is not this one. This one does not count. 697 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 1: That's what they offer you. They tell you that if 698 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: only we have stricter rules, only we do more to 699 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: make life well a little more difficult for very rich people, 700 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: than your life will mean a lot easier. And that's 701 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: just not true. It is not the case. It is 702 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: not the case that your life will be easier, that 703 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: you will be wealthier if there are these rules and restrictions. 704 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: Keep in mind that this is where we have to 705 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: do a lot of re educating of the American people, 706 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 1: because the media goes along with this stuff like here, 707 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: here's the narrative. I'll give you two narratives about where 708 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 1: capitalism has failed in them. What the truth of them is, right, 709 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 1: The narrative of the financial crisis of two thousand and 710 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: eight in shorthand Walls Street sold houses to people with 711 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,760 Speaker 1: fine print that they couldn't understand, that they couldn't afford, 712 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: and then took those obligations, took those debts and essentially 713 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: merged them all together and sold them to each other, 714 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 1: sold them to other other financial entities. And they did this, 715 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: and then they sold insurance on the sales of those, 716 00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, credit to fault swapped and all that. Okay, 717 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,760 Speaker 1: that's so essentially Wall Street greed almost destroyed the entire economy. 718 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,399 Speaker 1: The real story, which a lot of people just don't 719 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: seem to care about or aren't going to care about, 720 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: the real story is that over a series of decades, 721 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: federal laws were passed, and these laws were also supported 722 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: by the enormous and very expensive federal quasi federal agencies 723 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack. Federal laws were passed 724 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: that banks had to lend to people even if they 725 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 1: had bad credit. This was because there was a disproportionate 726 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: effect on particularly the African American community, of not getting 727 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: credit right. So black people were not being given loans 728 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 1: based on their FICO scores by the banks. And they 729 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 1: called it redlining, and I'm sure there are were discriminatory 730 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: practices too, but it went from no discrimination and lending 731 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: to it doesn't matter if you can show that this 732 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: person is a bad bet, you have to lend to 733 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: them if they are a minority, or else we're going 734 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: to come after you. And the Clinton administration, for example, 735 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: made a big deal of going after banks and suing 736 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: banks because they were not lending sufficiently to African American lenders. 737 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: But then it expanded because once you've gotten rid of 738 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 1: FYCO scores for some people, it's easier to get rhythm 739 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,720 Speaker 1: for more people. Right. And then we had this bipartisan 740 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 1: consensus and the government pushing this if everybody should own 741 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: we have a homeownerships aside, and Bush administration bought into it. 742 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: So we get rid of the lending standards. And then 743 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: we're told everybody should own a home, and then everybody 744 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 1: should put it on credit. And then Wall Street comes 745 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 1: in and says, well, we got all this credit that's 746 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: backed by the federal government. You know, we can't lose. 747 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 1: And then when they were about to lose and they 748 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: got bailed out by the government. But there was a 749 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: lot of social justice and social engineering and all that 750 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 1: stuff in the run up to this, and that just 751 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: gets left out of the discussion. So you know, at 752 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 1: the very end of this you get the Financial Protection Bureau, 753 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: which is just saying, oh, you know there's illegal and 754 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: bad lending practice. Yes, there are badly bad lending practices. 755 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 1: The government has been dictating lending practices for decades. The 756 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: Community Reinvestment Act stretches back to I think the nineteen sixties, 757 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,839 Speaker 1: which was the start of this idea that you have 758 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 1: to lend into certain neighborhoods if you're a bank, you 759 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 1: have to or else the government will sue you, or 760 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: discrimination and saying well, this person, they have a history 761 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: of not paying their bills, I don't want to lend them. Sorry, 762 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 1: that's racist. That's the very short version of that much 763 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: longer story. And then on healthcare, which we could do 764 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: a similar thing on healthcare. Truth about healthcare is that, 765 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 1: as we talked to Ovic Roy about this earlier in 766 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 1: the week, almost half almost half of healthcare spending already 767 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: is government healthcare spending in some way, and the government 768 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: is involved in hospital probably way. Hospitals are scams. Go 769 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: into an emergency room sometime they take your food pressure 770 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,320 Speaker 1: to charge you a thousand dollars. I'm not even kidding. 771 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 1: It's crazy. Hospitals are scams. Only go to a hospital 772 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: if you have literally no choice, there's no other choice. 773 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,919 Speaker 1: But that's government regulation, right, I mean, there's so much 774 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: government regulation that goes through that process. But we're told 775 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: that it's unfair because of the greedy capitalists at the top. No, 776 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: what makes it unfair are the market distortions that are created, 777 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: yes by some special interests and pharmaceutical companies, but also 778 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: by the government thinking that it's good at helping to 779 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 1: set prices, that it's good at making determinations about how 780 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: private industry, in this case, private healthcare should function. It 781 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 1: is not good at that. So, you know what, We're 782 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 1: going to be told stories about the failures of capitalism 783 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,240 Speaker 1: that are often and these are stories that if people 784 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 1: believe them, it could change the future of this country 785 00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,439 Speaker 1: because they're gonna put wackos like Warren in charge. We 786 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,720 Speaker 1: need to know and spread the word about the truth, 787 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,800 Speaker 1: which is that there are already as a tremendous amount 788 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 1: of regulation of law in our capitalist system. We do 789 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 1: not have a free market. So if we're going to 790 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 1: identify failures. We can't just say it's a failure of 791 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: the free market. It's often a failure of government intervention 792 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 1: in the market that creates the distortion that's then exploited 793 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: by special interests who then maintain that by by putting 794 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 1: money in the pockets of politicians. But it's a lot 795 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: easier to say, yeah, the big me and rich people 796 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: are the problem. It is a lot. I will say 797 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier, and Democrats will do that. They 798 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: will go that route. They will say that it's all 799 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: about things being a lot easier for them, and that 800 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,839 Speaker 1: is my expectation. So we have a whole lot more 801 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: coming up. Team stay with me. Hiring can be tough 802 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: and it can take a lot of time.

I think all of us know is 821 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 1: that so many Americans are losing faith in this country's 822 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,919 Speaker 1: ability to work for them. People are feeling left out, 823 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: left behind, and I think a lot of folks will 824 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: begin the field. But the forces that are tearing us 825 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: apart in this country are stronger than the forces that 826 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,359 Speaker 1: tie us together. I don't believe that, and so I'm 827 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,720 Speaker 1: running to restore our sense of common purpose, to focus 828 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: on the common pain that we have all over this country. 829 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: My record, I think when I have a chance to 830 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: put it before people, they're going to see a very 831 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: different sort of not usual path in politics. And where 832 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:20,880 Speaker 1: I live. You know, I still live in the central 833 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 1: ward of Newark, New Jersey. The only senator that goes 834 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: home to a community that's you know, still a low 835 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:32,240 Speaker 1: income community, inner city community. We got Corey Booker throwing 836 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 1: his hat in the ring for twenty twenty as we 837 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,919 Speaker 1: all knew he would. I even said he would last week. 838 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 1: But that's not a prediction, it's it's obvious. Corey Booker 839 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,760 Speaker 1: now officially wants to be the president the United States. Okay, 840 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 1: first of all, notice how he positions himself. And I 841 00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:54,280 Speaker 1: know that this is all all the tradecraft of the politico, 842 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 1: but you know, he comes out and he's talking about 843 00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 1: the shared concerns, shared problems. He wants to run as 844 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: the bipartisan moderate Democrat guy. He wants to run as 845 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:13,240 Speaker 1: you know, I all feel your pain, and I'll fix 846 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: it if you give me tremendous power. You know, that's 847 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 1: what he's saying. You know, that's what he's saying. He's 848 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: saying he will feel, he will feel your he already 849 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: feels your pain, and in fact, he'll try to make 850 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: the pain go away if you just make him president 851 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 1: of the United States, So he sees his lane in 852 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 1: this whole thing. Right, You got you know Warren, who 853 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 1: apologize you see that apologize the Cherokee nation today. So 854 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 1: she so she's a fraud. So we now now she's 855 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 1: a you know, it's like you don't apologize for murdering 856 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,760 Speaker 1: somebody unless you murdered somebody. You know, she committed a fraud. 857 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: So this is pretty clear she's a fraud. Fine, at 858 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: least she did say sorry. Do we think she's really sorry? 859 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 1: Do you think she just got caught? I'll leave that 860 00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: to you. She did release those DNA results, so that's 861 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,439 Speaker 1: something that somebody would have to explain how you could 862 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 1: think that that's a good idea. But she did, you know, 863 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:10,920 Speaker 1: she did. She released him. So she's now obviously running 864 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: as the female Bernie Sanders, or maybe Bernie Sanders is 865 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 1: running as the mail Elizabeth Warren. Really you know, hey, 866 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to man explain over here. They're both 867 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: in nightmare exactly, or Mike explain. Perhaps I've seen I've 868 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,680 Speaker 1: seen how fights do you get? Uh? So you got 869 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 1: these democrats that are lining up some of their different 870 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 1: some of their different pathways and their their version of 871 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Republican primary from twenty sixteen, where you're 872 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of people, so they have to 873 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:48,879 Speaker 1: differentiate themselves. So Corey Booker differentiates himself from the eyes 874 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: of being that you know, I'm just I'm just a 875 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,640 Speaker 1: guy who's just gonna like bring everyone together, and I 876 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 1: just want everyone to be friends, and I just want 877 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 1: to fix things. And okay, fine, there's a little problem 878 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,359 Speaker 1: though with that. First of all, you will recall just 879 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 1: this past summer, Corey Booker was the guy who decided 880 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:12,359 Speaker 1: to be mister tough street fighter on the political beat. 881 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:18,080 Speaker 1: Play it. I openly invite and accept the consequences of 882 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 1: my team releasing that email right now, and I'm releasing 883 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:25,279 Speaker 1: it to expose a number one. The emails are being 884 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 1: withheld from the public have nothing to do with national security. Now. 885 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 1: I appreciate the comments of my colleagues. This is about 886 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,799 Speaker 1: the closest I'll probably ever have in my life to 887 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 1: an I Am Spartacus moment. Pretty far from Spartacus, as 888 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 1: we all know. You know what he should do, though, 889 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,080 Speaker 1: and I'm serious, he should show up at a at 890 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 1: like a low key campaign event wearing like full on 891 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: Spartacus regalia, you know, with like with the sword and 892 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 1: the whole, the whole get up. You know, he should 893 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,799 Speaker 1: show up and lean into it a little bit. That 894 00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,359 Speaker 1: would make it go away. I think, you know, if 895 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 1: he were like, yeah, whatever I said it, that'd be 896 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: kind of funny. It can't be. He can't give a 897 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,799 Speaker 1: speech stress like that, although maybe he would. But if 898 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,799 Speaker 1: he showed up with the sandals and the grieves and 899 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 1: the chess play and the whole thing, what do you think? Yeah, 900 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 1: that would require a sense of humor, which he does 901 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,479 Speaker 1: not happen, right, Nor do any Democrats that I know. So, Yeah, 902 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: Democrat politicians not funny. It is true, they're not funny. 903 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,080 Speaker 1: Can I tell you something that doesn't that it's kind 904 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 1: of funny. I've heard this from a very well known, 905 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 1: uh well, I should say very well known, a very 906 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 1: connected DC insider and a connected Capitol Hill staffer. Mitch 907 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: McConnell loves all the cocaine Mitch stuff. He thinks it 908 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 1: is hilarious. It's great. Like people go into his office 909 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 1: and give him like that. They'll give him a print 910 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,719 Speaker 1: out of an article, so he's like her cocaine may 911 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 1: he loves it. Multiple independent sources have told me Mitch 912 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,879 Speaker 1: McConnell thinks cocaine. Mitch hilarious. Yeah, do you want to laugh? 913 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 1: You want to be happy? Find it conservative exactly. So 914 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 1: it's true. It's true. We do have the funnier we 915 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,960 Speaker 1: do have the funnier politicians. I have to say, but 916 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 1: so so Corey Booker. He is most well known from 917 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 1: at least over the last year. For that, I'm spartic 918 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 1: this moment. But also I'm never going to forget that 919 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,759 Speaker 1: while he tries to be mister Horne or I just 920 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 1: I just want everyone to be friends, and I just 921 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,320 Speaker 1: want to get along. I just want to fix problems 922 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:27,799 Speaker 1: and I want to I want to solve the pain 923 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 1: and all this stuff, you know. While while he promotes 924 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,759 Speaker 1: himself as that right now, I am not going to 925 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: forget anytime soon that he is also the guy who, 926 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: six months ago or so or whatever it was, was 927 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,240 Speaker 1: part of the effort to not just destroy Brett Kavanaugh 928 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 1: in front of his wife and children, one of the 929 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,759 Speaker 1: ugliest things I've ever seen in American politics, and in 930 00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: front of tens of millions of people who were watching 931 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,840 Speaker 1: that that hearing. He was part of that effort which 932 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:06,400 Speaker 1: no person of honor or decency could have been a 933 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: part of. Okay, these women were lying. The final one, 934 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 1: Thank thank heaven, she actually came out with those accusations 935 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,920 Speaker 1: because she was just a clear loon. I mean, somebody 936 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,800 Speaker 1: who was was deranged and just making stuff up for attention. 937 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 1: I mean, the Democrats and the media were willing to 938 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 1: put people out there as truth tellers who were about 939 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: as credible as the person wandering around with a big 940 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,880 Speaker 1: piece of cardboard sticking out of the shopping cart that says, 941 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,239 Speaker 1: you know, John three sixteen or whatever, why is it 942 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,920 Speaker 1: always John three sixteen? By the way, You know, I 943 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:44,719 Speaker 1: don't know. I remember looking at up once and I 944 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: was a kid because I was like, what is it? 945 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:47,920 Speaker 1: And it didn't make sense to me? You know, I 946 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 1: can't now. My curiosity has got the best of me. 947 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,840 Speaker 1: And people right now are already without looking it up 948 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,319 Speaker 1: because they're better at this than I am. For God 949 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,959 Speaker 1: so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, 950 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,800 Speaker 1: that who's ever believe it than him should not perish 951 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 1: but have everlasting life. For God loved the world in 952 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,239 Speaker 1: this way, he gave his one and only son, so 953 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 1: that everyone who believes in him will not perish but 954 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,880 Speaker 1: have eternal life. Well that's a great Bible verse. Why 955 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: why do I people? Why do people at football games 956 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 1: and crazy people in the street and hold up John 957 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 1: three sixteen posters? Am I missing something? How did this 958 00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 1: become a meme? A meme before there were memes? Yeah, 959 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 1: it's been popular sports culture forever. Right, it's been popular 960 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:32,880 Speaker 1: sports culture. So I don't get it. But the Kavanaugh hearing, 961 00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:38,480 Speaker 1: the Kavanaugh hearing told us who Corey Booker really was. 962 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,720 Speaker 1: The Kavanaugh hearing made it clear to us that Corey 963 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:48,720 Speaker 1: Booker is a person of no integrity or decency or honesty. 964 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,120 Speaker 1: He's just another politician who will do whatever he wants. 965 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:56,759 Speaker 1: I will never forgive or forget the Senate Democrats who 966 00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 1: were part of that callavaied ritualized torture session of a 967 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,840 Speaker 1: good man who is now thankful a Supreme Court justice. 968 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 1: I'm not going to let that go. I'm not going 969 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,959 Speaker 1: to let that pass. We saw who they were that day, 970 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 1: and we should never ever forget it. I certainly am 971 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,280 Speaker 1: not going to any time. So you know, Corey Booker 972 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 1: is running whoop d He just here's an early prediction 973 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,759 Speaker 1: he just doesn't have it. He just doesn't have it. 974 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,800 Speaker 1: You knows a little. He's a little whimpy, a little boring, 975 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:37,120 Speaker 1: not really very charismatic. It's just not gonna work. Not 976 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 1: gonna work. And I think that I don't even think 977 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,720 Speaker 1: he'll last that far into the primary. That's that's my prediction. 978 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 1: So we can always go back and visit that, and 979 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,800 Speaker 1: that's what we'll do. Team. I've got much more show 980 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:53,400 Speaker 1: en route. Stay with me. One of the things we're considering, obviously, 981 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,080 Speaker 1: is a national emergency, and it is it's an invasion 982 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 1: of our country of not only people, not only gangs 983 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,920 Speaker 1: and criminals and human traffickers. It's an invasion of drugs 984 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,720 Speaker 1: into our country. It's an invasion like you've never seen before. 985 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,400 Speaker 1: You talk about heroin, ninety percent of the heroin coming 986 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,880 Speaker 1: into our country comes in through the southern border. We 987 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,200 Speaker 1: can stop so much of that. And I'll tell you this, 988 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,800 Speaker 1: if we build a proper barrier with all of the technology, 989 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,160 Speaker 1: which only really works with the barrier, but if we 990 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 1: build a proper barrier with great technology too, we will 991 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 1: see crime throughout the United States go down in percentages 992 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,800 Speaker 1: that we've never seen before. It'll be an amazing thing 993 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:38,440 Speaker 1: because so much of it comes through the southern border. 994 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 1: How could it not be considered a crisis when most 995 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 1: of the drugs coming into this country that are killing 996 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,960 Speaker 1: seventy thousand people a year are coming across our southern border. 997 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,560 Speaker 1: Take this one down to basics. Look at this one 998 00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 1: without all the political heat and the posturing and the demagogue, 999 00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 1: or just look at it for what it is. What 1000 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,240 Speaker 1: should we make of the fact that the Democrats continue 1001 00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 1: to pretend like there's not a crisis at the border. 1002 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's astonishing to me. You know, people 1003 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 1: look at the seizure yesterday and the fact that they're 1004 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: the Left's first response to a massive seizure or fentanyl 1005 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 1: at a port of entry is oh, look, it's at 1006 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 1: a port of entry. It's not only at ports of entry. 1007 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 1: And by the way, ports of entry are also under 1008 00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 1: greater strain because in terms of the security that's there, 1009 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,480 Speaker 1: because you have immigrations and customs enforcement and border patrol 1010 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 1: having to process a lot of people coming into the 1011 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 1: country and dealing with a lot of people who are 1012 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 1: surrounding themselves as family units giving them medical care. This 1013 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 1: is all strain on the system. This all takes people 1014 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,760 Speaker 1: away from the job of law enforcement and makes them 1015 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:57,440 Speaker 1: act like a makeshift red cross on our southern border. 1016 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 1: So when we look at that, we should all understand 1017 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 1: that the stakes are life and death. Bernie Sanders and 1018 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 1: Acazio Qutez. Later on we'll talk about how they think 1019 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 1: that green energy is a life and death issue and 1020 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 1: it's not. And it's really an embarrassment that they think 1021 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 1: it is Perhaps no more embarrassing than when Barack Obama 1022 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 1: said when he was speaking at the Coastguard Academy that 1023 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,800 Speaker 1: climate change is the greatest national security threat we face. 1024 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 1: Talk about tilting at windmills. This just makes no sense 1025 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:34,480 Speaker 1: at all, It makes no sense, But they really believe this, 1026 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,560 Speaker 1: They really believe this. Here we have a true crisis, 1027 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 1: a major emergency, and there's just no interest whatsoever from 1028 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats and taking serious actions to stop it. When 1029 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: they say things like oh, we need drones, we need drones, 1030 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,360 Speaker 1: I say, okay, that just means that you'll know someone's 1031 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 1: crossing the border in time to not get there and 1032 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,160 Speaker 1: arrest them. So you'll just have nice footage of somebody 1033 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 1: who's doing an illegal crossing. How does that help anyone. 1034 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,400 Speaker 1: How does that help anyone that I don't think that 1035 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 1: they have an answer for this. By the way, also, 1036 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 1: how can we not have a crisis at the border 1037 01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,920 Speaker 1: When you look at how many people are dying and 1038 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:18,480 Speaker 1: you look at the numbers with say, just fentanyl and 1039 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 1: heroin alone, and compare it to ten, fifteen, twenty years ago. 1040 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,240 Speaker 1: It's not just the numbers of illegal crossings that are 1041 01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 1: so disconcerting, it's how much is pouring into our country 1042 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 1: by way of drugs that kill people. These are more 1043 01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 1: lethal drugs, dude. This This isn't you know, bales of 1044 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,320 Speaker 1: hero I mean, pardon me. This isn't bales of marijuana 1045 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 1: in the back of someone's truck driving into the US 1046 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,800 Speaker 1: or people bringing it down from Canada. These are drugs 1047 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,000 Speaker 1: that are so lethal that if you touch them you 1048 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 1: can die. Which the biochemistry of that has been explained 1049 01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 1: to me by a doctor before, and it still is 1050 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 1: hard to believe. And as was mentioned, I think on 1051 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 1: this show yesterday, you know, there's a lot of narcan 1052 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 1: out there, so you still have this very high overdose 1053 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 1: death rate, but it would be a lot higher if 1054 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:13,200 Speaker 1: there was not a very effective drug that could counteract 1055 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,120 Speaker 1: that could counteract these overdoses. I mean, thankfully it is there. 1056 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,960 Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you that the scale of this 1057 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,160 Speaker 1: problem is even greater than a lot of people realize, 1058 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 1: because the only thing that has really paid attention to 1059 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:30,479 Speaker 1: our deaths not near deaths, and a lot of lives 1060 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 1: are being saved with narcan. A lot of emergency medical 1061 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,320 Speaker 1: responders have to carry Narkan with them now and are 1062 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:41,040 Speaker 1: using it. So this is a very serious issue, and 1063 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,440 Speaker 1: you know the China connection to it too. You think 1064 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,320 Speaker 1: about the real national security challenges that we face. We've 1065 01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,840 Speaker 1: gotten so wrapped up in thinking that we need to 1066 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 1: stop every g hottest overseas. And look, I've been guilty 1067 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 1: of it too in the past, thinking well, we've this 1068 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 1: group says they're aligned with al Qaedas, so we've got 1069 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,680 Speaker 1: to go after them, or that says they're aligned. Sometimes 1070 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,920 Speaker 1: we do, sometimes we don't. But when you have the 1071 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 1: crisis at our southern border, you have China stealing our 1072 01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:13,120 Speaker 1: intellectual property at a rate that will give them near 1073 01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:19,120 Speaker 1: technological and therefore military parody, if not superiority to us 1074 01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,560 Speaker 1: going forward. And then yeah, the Chinese not as an 1075 01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:26,600 Speaker 1: official state policy, but it is interesting isn't it the 1076 01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,800 Speaker 1: possibility that maybe maybe the Chinese, which you know, China 1077 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,120 Speaker 1: is a police state, maybe they turn a little bit 1078 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 1: of a of a blind eye to some of this. 1079 01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,720 Speaker 1: Maybe they're not, as you know, not as as clear 1080 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,280 Speaker 1: on what's leaving their borders when it comes offense and 1081 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:45,000 Speaker 1: a lot of things as they pretend to be. They 1082 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:49,920 Speaker 1: are providing the precursor chemicals to then be mixed into 1083 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 1: these drugs, into these very deadly drugs in Mexico and 1084 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:56,440 Speaker 1: brought up across the border. Mexico is playing a role 1085 01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,800 Speaker 1: in this too. You know, if it were so easy 1086 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,520 Speaker 1: to do, if it we're not a problem them at all, 1087 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,240 Speaker 1: then why not just why wouldn't the cartel is why 1088 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't the bad guys just be making the stuff here? 1089 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 1: Because they're setting up industrial facilities in Mexico where they 1090 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 1: can make tons of the stuff, bring it over and 1091 01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,760 Speaker 1: it's killing people. It's killing people that you know, and 1092 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,520 Speaker 1: they say it's not a crisis. Trump is taking very seriously, 1093 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 1: and he say, look that the Chinese they better shape 1094 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,600 Speaker 1: up on this one too. He says that they're going 1095 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 1: to do some stuff about fentanyl. One of the things 1096 01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,400 Speaker 1: that we discussed in Argentina was fent at al. This 1097 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,800 Speaker 1: is not a trade deal. This is a fact that 1098 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:41,720 Speaker 1: Presidency was extremely good when he said that they would 1099 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:47,160 Speaker 1: criminalize fentanyl because fentotyl is killing a lot of our 1100 01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:52,960 Speaker 1: great American people. It's true, it's true, we'll China do 1101 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,320 Speaker 1: what's necessary here to help us. I don't know. I 1102 01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 1: think that that's very much still an open question. But 1103 01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:03,080 Speaker 1: these these drugs are a scourge unlike any we've ever 1104 01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:06,960 Speaker 1: seen before in this country. It is orders of magnitude 1105 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,160 Speaker 1: worse than the crack epidemic. It is just by the numbers. 1106 01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:11,920 Speaker 1: I know people have said there's some kind of a 1107 01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 1: class or race dynamic to that. I think that that 1108 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 1: is just refuted when you look at you. We've never 1109 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,280 Speaker 1: had a year before last year when seventy thousand people 1110 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,360 Speaker 1: died of drug overdoses. That's never happened before in this 1111 01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 1: country's history. And it's an astonished number. For every seventy 1112 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,520 Speaker 1: for every person who dies, think of how many friends, family, love, 1113 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:35,040 Speaker 1: the ones they have that are shattered by this. So 1114 01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,440 Speaker 1: it's a crisis, Okay, it's a crisis. Democrats need to 1115 01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 1: stop just playing the most pathetic politics with this and 1116 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:46,840 Speaker 1: get on board for securing the border. They just won't 1117 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:49,720 Speaker 1: do it. This is a real life and death issue, 1118 01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:55,360 Speaker 1: and they just don't care. A fascinating and very disturbing 1119 01:04:56,280 --> 01:05:01,120 Speaker 1: disparity in the way that the abortion bills in New 1120 01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:05,480 Speaker 1: York and Virginia are being discussed or not discussed, or 1121 01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:09,160 Speaker 1: being covered or not covered by the media. I see 1122 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 1: here that the go to tactic when there's a moment 1123 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,520 Speaker 1: when the American people get to see just how grotesque 1124 01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:22,360 Speaker 1: in barbaric the true pro choice side of the argument 1125 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:26,880 Speaker 1: is when there is an opportunity for that, the media's 1126 01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: best response usually. I mean, they can lie, but they 1127 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 1: can only lie so much because it either is or 1128 01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 1: is not. We're talking about a matter of law. This 1129 01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:39,520 Speaker 1: is why Representative Tran of the Virginia State Legislature who 1130 01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 1: said that yes, it would include abortional up to a birth. 1131 01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,040 Speaker 1: That's because that is what the law says. I mean, 1132 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,240 Speaker 1: they can say that, you know, they can try to 1133 01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:48,920 Speaker 1: say that it doesn't they can try to say that 1134 01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,880 Speaker 1: nobody would ever do that, but that is what the 1135 01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 1: law says. So this is a yes or no question, 1136 01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 1: and when they have to answer tough yes or no questions, 1137 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 1: their Their preferred method is once the word is out, 1138 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,240 Speaker 1: they just act like, what do you mean, it's not 1139 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,800 Speaker 1: a big story. That's not it's not a big deal 1140 01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,080 Speaker 1: at all. That doesn't really matter. Who cares about this. 1141 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 1: We should listen to people when they tell us who 1142 01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 1: they are, and in the last few days we've gotten 1143 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:21,120 Speaker 1: a real sense of who the progressive left are in 1144 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,760 Speaker 1: this country. But it also reminds me of and I 1145 01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 1: have to hat hit my friend Rahim Kassam for putting 1146 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,720 Speaker 1: this out there on the internet and pointing out to everybody. 1147 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 1: You know, Trump knew who Hillary was on this issue 1148 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:35,960 Speaker 1: quite a long time ago, whoever it was during the 1149 01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 1: during the debates, and he got hammered at the time 1150 01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,640 Speaker 1: by the pro Hillary press, which is ninety percent of them. 1151 01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,920 Speaker 1: He got hammered because he said, look, you need to 1152 01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,680 Speaker 1: understand what Hillary Clinton is willing to support. They said, oh, no, 1153 01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,840 Speaker 1: she won't, she won't support that. That's not true. It 1154 01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,880 Speaker 1: turns out it is very much the case. But here's 1155 01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 1: what he said to her back then, light term partial birth. Well, 1156 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,720 Speaker 1: I think it's terrible. If you go with what Hillary 1157 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,600 Speaker 1: is saying in the ninth month, you can take the 1158 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:11,360 Speaker 1: baby and rip the baby out of the womb of 1159 01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,440 Speaker 1: the mother just prior to the birth of the baby. 1160 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,120 Speaker 1: Is based on what she's saying and based on where 1161 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,960 Speaker 1: she's going and where she's been, you can take the 1162 01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,760 Speaker 1: baby and rip the baby out of the womb in 1163 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:26,200 Speaker 1: the ninth month, on the final day. Well, that is 1164 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 1: not what happens in these cases. And using that kind 1165 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 1: of scare rhetoric is just terribly unfortunate where it's obvious 1166 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,920 Speaker 1: that a woman is about to give birth. That was 1167 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:42,000 Speaker 1: what Hillary said, And now we're just going to play 1168 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,080 Speaker 1: over what Hillary is. Oh, that's horrible and barbaric, and 1169 01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,040 Speaker 1: that's not what happens. Here is what was said on 1170 01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 1: the Virginia legislature floor a couple of days ago. Play John, 1171 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:55,840 Speaker 1: would that still be a point at which she could 1172 01:07:55,840 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: request an abortion if she was so certified she's dilating, 1173 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:06,360 Speaker 1: mister chairman. That would be a you know, a decision 1174 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,120 Speaker 1: that the doctor, the physician and the woman understand that. 1175 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,919 Speaker 1: I'm asking if your bill allows that. My bill would 1176 01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:18,719 Speaker 1: allow that. Yes, So what exactly was Hillary saying about 1177 01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,640 Speaker 1: how that's part you know that that's not fair and 1178 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 1: that's not what happened. It is what would happen, and 1179 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,559 Speaker 1: we've all known all along that's what would happen, and 1180 01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 1: that they have to you see, they have to legalize 1181 01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:35,840 Speaker 1: third trimester abortion because if there were any restrictions on 1182 01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,480 Speaker 1: abortion and the third trimester, that would be a concession 1183 01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,720 Speaker 1: that this is a baby. That would be a concession 1184 01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,360 Speaker 1: that this is a life that is involved. And they 1185 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:50,439 Speaker 1: don't want to make that concession because if it's a 1186 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,720 Speaker 1: baby at nine months, if it's a baby when it's 1187 01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,920 Speaker 1: coming out of the birth canal, you have to ask 1188 01:08:55,920 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 1: the question, well, is it a baby at eight months, seven, six, 1189 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,360 Speaker 1: five four, And they don't want they don't want to 1190 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:08,160 Speaker 1: have to answer those questions. Better to pretend that it's 1191 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,120 Speaker 1: not a baby at all, and to do so under 1192 01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:13,880 Speaker 1: this rubek of doctors and women making choices about their 1193 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:20,120 Speaker 1: own health. That's just that's just blather. That's not addressing 1194 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:21,720 Speaker 1: the issue. That's not talking to the issue. But I 1195 01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:24,599 Speaker 1: would just know that, you know, Hillary, people always say, oh, Trump, 1196 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,080 Speaker 1: he's got a problem with the truth. But what he 1197 01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,040 Speaker 1: said there was correct, and the media was all over him. 1198 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,920 Speaker 1: The media pounced. You could say that was that was 1199 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 1: another one. In the last twenty four hours, you've seen 1200 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,479 Speaker 1: so many news stories from these different major outlets and 1201 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,880 Speaker 1: papers where they keep doing this, Oh, Republicans pounce on 1202 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:48,200 Speaker 1: what Governor Northam says. Well, yeah, I mean they're gonna 1203 01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna react pretty strongly to a guy saying that, yeah, 1204 01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 1: you can kill baby sometimes if you if you really, 1205 01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 1: if you really have to kill a baby, you can 1206 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:59,559 Speaker 1: kill a baby. When when a state governor says that, 1207 01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,360 Speaker 1: people are going to quote pounce. But I just think 1208 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:06,880 Speaker 1: it's a fascinating case study in how the media tries 1209 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:11,200 Speaker 1: to run interference and tries to do whatever it can 1210 01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,640 Speaker 1: to help one side of this argument, tries to be 1211 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:19,360 Speaker 1: helpful to one side of this argument, and that's it's 1212 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,799 Speaker 1: never about the initial act that a Democrat has committed 1213 01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,679 Speaker 1: or the initial thing they've said. It's always all Republicans pounce. 1214 01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:30,479 Speaker 1: They're going too far, they've overreached. That's another one. They'd 1215 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:34,640 Speaker 1: like to say, Oh, they've overreached. That is not the 1216 01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:38,360 Speaker 1: case at all, certainly not the case here. And that 1217 01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,920 Speaker 1: brings me to a little bit of a public back 1218 01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 1: and forth I had today with a few never Trump 1219 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,760 Speaker 1: conservatives online, which is fine. Some of them I like, 1220 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,639 Speaker 1: some of them, I detest depends on which one we're 1221 01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:54,840 Speaker 1: talking about. But there's a particular sensitivity right now to 1222 01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,479 Speaker 1: what I had said or what I had written. And 1223 01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,240 Speaker 1: we'll say now is we have seen that the Democrats 1224 01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:05,720 Speaker 1: are in the last month and if you ally with them, 1225 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,280 Speaker 1: if you are willing to support them and support they're 1226 01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 1: getting into power when they are when they are favorable 1227 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:17,760 Speaker 1: to illegal immigration, pro and fanticide, want a seventy to 1228 01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 1: a ninety percent tax rate. You know, you add up 1229 01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:26,000 Speaker 1: all these things, and if you are supporting them because 1230 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,559 Speaker 1: you think that's a way to chasen Trump or own 1231 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,760 Speaker 1: the drum for whatever, there's a name for that, you're 1232 01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 1: called a Democrat. Now, I know that never Trump. People 1233 01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:38,680 Speaker 1: get very mad when you say this, because I'm not 1234 01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,200 Speaker 1: saying you can't. You know, first of all, you know 1235 01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 1: people can say whatever they want to say, But I'm 1236 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:46,840 Speaker 1: not calling out people who criticize Trump. Have problems with Trump. Look, 1237 01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 1: if he doesn't build that wall, I'm gonna have a 1238 01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:52,640 Speaker 1: big problem with Trump. And I think that Trump sometimes 1239 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,120 Speaker 1: is self defeating in certain ways with his messaging. I 1240 01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:56,760 Speaker 1: think that he makes things harder. He certainly makes it 1241 01:11:56,800 --> 01:12:00,479 Speaker 1: harder for people like me to make a case for 1242 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,439 Speaker 1: the parts of his message that we do really like 1243 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:07,600 Speaker 1: and agree with him on. Right, So there's certainly criticism 1244 01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,080 Speaker 1: to be had of Trump. And I've talked before about 1245 01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:14,000 Speaker 1: the nepotism around Trump. That's I can't defend that, and 1246 01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:17,439 Speaker 1: people who think it's okay, just wait until you have 1247 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:23,439 Speaker 1: you know, Kamala Harris's husband as Secretary of the Treasury 1248 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 1: or something, you know, I mean, that's then then you'll 1249 01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,360 Speaker 1: be like, oh, I don't like nepotism. All too late. 1250 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 1: But there's plenty of ways to criticize the president. That's 1251 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:34,000 Speaker 1: different than allying with the other side though, and this 1252 01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 1: shouldn't be that complicated a concept, but people get very 1253 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 1: emotional about this. If you want to say, I don't 1254 01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,280 Speaker 1: like what Trump is doing, but I do appreciate that 1255 01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 1: the Republicans stand for life and the Democrats stand for death, 1256 01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:50,440 Speaker 1: and therefore I would rather Republicans be in charge of 1257 01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:53,439 Speaker 1: the Congress than the Democrats. Fine, but if you're if 1258 01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:57,320 Speaker 1: your response to what you're seeing happening here is you 1259 01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,680 Speaker 1: know what to really teach the Republicans a lesson? We 1260 01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:06,799 Speaker 1: need to give the Occasio Cortez, Warren Sanders, Hillary Clinton, 1261 01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:11,040 Speaker 1: wing of the party. We need to give them power. 1262 01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:13,400 Speaker 1: We need to put them in power so that they 1263 01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:15,840 Speaker 1: can do the things that they want to do. You're 1264 01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 1: allowed to do that, but that's just called being a democrat. 1265 01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:24,040 Speaker 1: That is what that is. It is called being a democrat. 1266 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,280 Speaker 1: So I think we should be able to be pretty 1267 01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,080 Speaker 1: clear about that. I mean, never Trump. People can as 1268 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:30,519 Speaker 1: mad as me if they want that. I'm not calling 1269 01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,479 Speaker 1: all them out on this. I'm just saying this is 1270 01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:35,759 Speaker 1: how I see it, and I think it's pretty clear 1271 01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,559 Speaker 1: at this point. The other side has showed us who 1272 01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:40,960 Speaker 1: they are. This month, really or the last month, I 1273 01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,360 Speaker 1: should say, they have showed us who they are. And 1274 01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:46,799 Speaker 1: it's not good. It is not pretty. It's not something 1275 01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,640 Speaker 1: that I would ever want to be a part of. 1276 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:54,360 Speaker 1: So time to double down on conservatism.

If you do not, for example, 1304 01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:38,719 Speaker 1: close the refrigerator door quickly, you will be letting cold 1305 01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:43,640 Speaker 1: out into your kitchen area, and then there will be 1306 01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 1: necessary electricity to make the cold thing happen in the refrigerator, 1307 01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:54,080 Speaker 1: which is fossil fuels, which do things environment I'll go 1308 01:15:55,160 --> 01:16:02,200 Speaker 1: press though, that's all I need to say. This is lunacy. 1309 01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:07,400 Speaker 1: This is lunacy from Acasio Cortez and from Bernie Sanders. 1310 01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,559 Speaker 1: It's it's really similar lunacy. And right now we're being 1311 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:14,280 Speaker 1: told or being told this when it's oh so cold 1312 01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,240 Speaker 1: that I said, sure enough, there are people out there, 1313 01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:19,200 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren one of them. People are going to take 1314 01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:24,519 Speaker 1: this approach that, oh, the temperatures are a function or 1315 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,959 Speaker 1: you know, the temperature last few days across the Midwest, 1316 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 1: and it's because of climate change. Because we hit some 1317 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:31,960 Speaker 1: records in some places. And I said, well, there are 1318 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:36,160 Speaker 1: other places where we did not hit a record. We 1319 01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:39,559 Speaker 1: did not hit a record because oh, that's right, the 1320 01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:42,400 Speaker 1: record was hit in the eighties, or the record was 1321 01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:44,720 Speaker 1: hit you know, and some other I mean, this is 1322 01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:49,639 Speaker 1: just it's silly, It is intellectually unserious. But they keep 1323 01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,840 Speaker 1: doing this, They keep saying Oh, if we don't do 1324 01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:56,200 Speaker 1: something dramatic, I'm calling it the Great Green Leap Forward. 1325 01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:57,880 Speaker 1: I should probably run an article on that, Mike. I 1326 01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:01,880 Speaker 1: think that would get some attention. See, when Mao was 1327 01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:06,680 Speaker 1: running China, China was in a impoverished agrarian society, a 1328 01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,840 Speaker 1: lot of subsistence farming, very very bad. And you know, 1329 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,240 Speaker 1: when you're talking about the nineteen fifties, you're looking at 1330 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:18,040 Speaker 1: a country that was in need of some modernization, to 1331 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:21,360 Speaker 1: be sure. So they figured, all right, let's just push 1332 01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:24,479 Speaker 1: this thing forward. Let's make it happen a lot faster 1333 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:29,120 Speaker 1: as a function of central government planning. Right, I mean, 1334 01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,160 Speaker 1: let's actually make sure that people are doing what the 1335 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,599 Speaker 1: government tells them do. I mean, this is the Great 1336 01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:39,479 Speaker 1: Leap Forward was from nineteen fifty eight to nineteen sixty two. Right, 1337 01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:42,760 Speaker 1: they were forcing people into the cities, taking them out 1338 01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,840 Speaker 1: of the countryside. Well, it led to mass starvation and 1339 01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,320 Speaker 1: all kinds of government abuse and very very bad things. 1340 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:52,599 Speaker 1: That wasn't initially the plan, but that is what happens. 1341 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,519 Speaker 1: In one of my favorite books on the subject, the 1342 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:01,880 Speaker 1: term that is used to describe this is local improvisation. 1343 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,800 Speaker 1: And this is just a corollary relate to what we 1344 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,559 Speaker 1: have with our government and the genius of the founding, right, 1345 01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:11,000 Speaker 1: the reason that we have local and then state and 1346 01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:15,000 Speaker 1: then federal, and they're all separate jurisdictions but also intertwined 1347 01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,720 Speaker 1: jurisdictions in a sense, And the reason we have federalism, 1348 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:19,840 Speaker 1: we have this system of checks and balances all these 1349 01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:23,280 Speaker 1: things is because we want people to be able to 1350 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:28,040 Speaker 1: make the most effective decisions for themselves as often as 1351 01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:30,960 Speaker 1: they can and as quickly as they can. And people 1352 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:34,160 Speaker 1: in a certain township, for example, on that town council 1353 01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:38,519 Speaker 1: are going to handle town issues better. And somebody in Washington, 1354 01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 1: d C. Who just says, yeah, do it this way. 1355 01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:46,040 Speaker 1: And we've seen this time and again in history when 1356 01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:51,599 Speaker 1: you let the march of progress occurs, especially technological progress, 1357 01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:55,320 Speaker 1: economic progress, when it occurs based upon people that are 1358 01:18:55,439 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 1: involved in the thing and can engage in improvisation. Oh, 1359 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,320 Speaker 1: baking the cookies this way, it doesn't work, I'll bake 1360 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,360 Speaker 1: them that way. This is how you got people to 1361 01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,400 Speaker 1: make better cookies. When DC says make all the cookies 1362 01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,040 Speaker 1: the same way or else, or else we're gonna take 1363 01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:14,000 Speaker 1: away your bakery. That's bad, right, It was very bad 1364 01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:17,720 Speaker 1: in China, and they led to mass starvation and horrific 1365 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,240 Speaker 1: oppression against the people that tried to push back against it. 1366 01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:25,240 Speaker 1: And this does not work. You know, people say, oh, 1367 01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:27,760 Speaker 1: but book, what about the Manhattan Project and getting the Moon? 1368 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 1: The Manhattan Project wasn't three hundred million people all trying 1369 01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:34,800 Speaker 1: to do advanced math problems on a chalkboard. It was 1370 01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 1: a small, secret government program about a technology that was 1371 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:44,600 Speaker 1: necessary for military survival. You know, government can do some 1372 01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:46,800 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Sometimes they're they're they're good at that. 1373 01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,479 Speaker 1: But it was not a collective mobilization of the entire 1374 01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:53,840 Speaker 1: country toward the goal of figuring out something incredibly complicated. 1375 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,719 Speaker 1: What had taken a lot longer if the Manhattan Project 1376 01:19:56,720 --> 01:20:00,360 Speaker 1: had been everybody involved. Yeah, my name is Phil and 1377 01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,840 Speaker 1: I'm from West Philly, and I just want to say 1378 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 1: that your calculations about fission look a little off to me, 1379 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,439 Speaker 1: and I would prefer if you're going to go toward 1380 01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:14,479 Speaker 1: the splitting of the neutron in that fashion ego ipso 1381 01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:20,680 Speaker 1: day fact though, and I'm done right, Producer Mike, you 1382 01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:23,040 Speaker 1: would have your buddy, your buddies would have slowed down 1383 01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,760 Speaker 1: the Amountain project if they're involved. I think This is true. 1384 01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,560 Speaker 1: My dad's from West Philly. I've spent some time with 1385 01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:32,280 Speaker 1: West Philly. It's uh, it's interesting. Once got held up 1386 01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,920 Speaker 1: in West Philly at gume Point. Sounds like you've been 1387 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 1: in West Philly. I've been. Yeah, beautiful, Yeah, lovely this 1388 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:40,280 Speaker 1: time of year, I'm sure too. You know. Unfortunately, when 1389 01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,280 Speaker 1: you're in Philly and there's snow on the ground, they 1390 01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,800 Speaker 1: don't play like a rocky montage behind you all the time. 1391 01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:47,800 Speaker 1: You know, you don't. It's maybe better if you're wearing 1392 01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,240 Speaker 1: like a sweatsuit you're working out and stuff. But for 1393 01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:52,439 Speaker 1: the most part, not really place I want to be. 1394 01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:54,519 Speaker 1: But all right, so, but back to the great green 1395 01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:58,040 Speaker 1: leap forward. Think about how expensive everything is going to be. 1396 01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,720 Speaker 1: When everything is more expensive, it's the way to really 1397 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,120 Speaker 1: put this into context. Think about what it would mean. 1398 01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:06,600 Speaker 1: Because o'casio Quartez and this is this is why we 1399 01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,200 Speaker 1: don't have real journalists, because they would ask questions like, Okay, 1400 01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:13,559 Speaker 1: you want a massive green energy plan, what roughly what 1401 01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:20,639 Speaker 1: percentage of gasoline is expended in the t is expended 1402 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:24,559 Speaker 1: by cars and the transportation industry versus in actual products. 1403 01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:29,160 Speaker 1: I bet you would have no idea whatsoever. Absolutely none. 1404 01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,599 Speaker 1: The answer is about half and we think of it. Oh, 1405 01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:32,960 Speaker 1: it's just going to affect you at the pump the 1406 01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:34,720 Speaker 1: price of gas. That's not true. It's not just the 1407 01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:37,240 Speaker 1: price of gas, which also affects the price of products 1408 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:41,240 Speaker 1: because of the transportation side of the equation. It's also 1409 01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:46,679 Speaker 1: fossil fuels that are used in products, products, my friends, things, 1410 01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:51,160 Speaker 1: the very things itself that you buy or themselves that 1411 01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:54,360 Speaker 1: you buy, and that's that's all going to go up 1412 01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,439 Speaker 1: and be much more expensive. And remember, you wouldn't be 1413 01:21:57,479 --> 01:21:59,840 Speaker 1: doing this. You wouldn't be paying all this money for 1414 01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:03,920 Speaker 1: something that is good and tangible and real. You would 1415 01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:07,040 Speaker 1: be paying this money so that you could deal with 1416 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:11,760 Speaker 1: climate change, which anybody who pays attention knows they're wrong 1417 01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:16,559 Speaker 1: about over and over again. And this is so that 1418 01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,800 Speaker 1: you can stop there from being more co two in 1419 01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:26,080 Speaker 1: the air. Point zero four percent of the Earth's atmosphere 1420 01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:30,280 Speaker 1: is carbon dioxide. So we're going to spend trillions of dollars, 1421 01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:36,200 Speaker 1: put massive breaks on the economy, and do all of 1422 01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:40,240 Speaker 1: this so that point zero four percent of the carbon 1423 01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:44,479 Speaker 1: dioxide will be adjusted, maybe twenty percent over the next 1424 01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:48,439 Speaker 1: twenty years. Normal people don't think this way. But the 1425 01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:50,879 Speaker 1: good news is the American people are getting to see 1426 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,759 Speaker 1: the extent of the radicalism of the left from people 1427 01:22:53,840 --> 01:23:00,439 Speaker 1: like Alexandra Occazio Cortez and Bernie Sanders, people who have 1428 01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:05,479 Speaker 1: knowledge of neither science nor economics, but they know how 1429 01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,360 Speaker 1: to push people's buttons. They know how to sound like 1430 01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:10,640 Speaker 1: they care and that they're going to take on the 1431 01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:13,439 Speaker 1: big bullies and the mean capitalists. That are the reason 1432 01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,280 Speaker 1: that they say, the reason that you know things are 1433 01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,360 Speaker 1: getting more expensive for you. The reality is they're also 1434 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:21,760 Speaker 1: the reason that this country and the people living it 1435 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:25,400 Speaker 1: right now are so incredibly wealthy that if you told 1436 01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 1: someone from one hundred years ago this is where we'd be, 1437 01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:31,439 Speaker 1: they wouldn't believe you. But that requires some perspective which 1438 01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:35,040 Speaker 1: the left does not have. If you're running a business, 1439 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,840 Speaker 1: large or small, you've got to have background checks done 1440 01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:39,639 Speaker 1: and the people that you're hiring and bringing in right. 1441 01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:42,080 Speaker 1: It's important as liability issues, and you also want to 1442 01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,160 Speaker 1: make sure that you could trust the people around you. 1443 01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:48,240 Speaker 1: That's why you need to trust Global Verification Network.

Russia has refused to take any 1465 01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:03,719 Speaker 1: steps to return real and verifiable compliance over these sixty days. 1466 01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,439 Speaker 1: The United States will therefore suspend its obligations under the 1467 01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:12,880 Speaker 1: I n F Treaty, effective February second. Russia has jeopardized 1468 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 1: the United States security interest, and we can no longer 1469 01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:19,800 Speaker 1: be restricted by the treaty while Russia shamelessly violates it. 1470 01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,759 Speaker 1: If Russia does not return to full and verifiable compliance 1471 01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:27,440 Speaker 1: with the treaty within this six month period by verifiably 1472 01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:30,760 Speaker 1: destroying its I n F violating missiles, their launchers, and 1473 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,920 Speaker 1: associated equipment, the treaty will terminate. Secretary of State Mike 1474 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:38,760 Speaker 1: Pompeo announced earlier today that the US is suspending the 1475 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:42,840 Speaker 1: Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which is an important part 1476 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:48,240 Speaker 1: of European nuclear security since the Cold War. It seems 1477 01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:49,920 Speaker 1: like kind of a big deal. What does it mean 1478 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:52,360 Speaker 1: and what does it tell us about Trump's relationship with Russia? 1479 01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,960 Speaker 1: Brought on somebody who answers this and oh so much more. 1480 01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:59,759 Speaker 1: Rebecca Heinricks is in the house. She is a senior 1481 01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:04,679 Speaker 1: hello at the Hudson Institute and a missile super expert. Rebecca, 1482 01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:07,320 Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. I'm so happy to do it. 1483 01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,320 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. All right, So what is the 1484 01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:13,120 Speaker 1: just before we get into the the what comes next? 1485 01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:15,200 Speaker 1: Tell us what's come before here a little bit. The 1486 01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:18,320 Speaker 1: Intermediate Range Juclear Forces Treaty. What is it? Is it 1487 01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:21,360 Speaker 1: a big deal? Why should people care? Sure? Well, at 1488 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:22,800 Speaker 1: the end of the Cold War, this is one of 1489 01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:27,640 Speaker 1: those treaties people think of it as it is a 1490 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,600 Speaker 1: major Cold War treaty. And what it does is it 1491 01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:37,360 Speaker 1: abolished the possession, the testing, and the deployment of a 1492 01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:43,439 Speaker 1: whole category of missiles, ground launch cruise missiles. So these 1493 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:49,400 Speaker 1: are missiles that can range Europe, and we removed ours 1494 01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:52,320 Speaker 1: from Europe the European theater. The Russians or the Soviet 1495 01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:55,559 Speaker 1: Union at the time got rid of theirs. And the 1496 01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:59,000 Speaker 1: reason that we don't like them, the reason that we 1497 01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,240 Speaker 1: thought that they would state realizing at the time, is 1498 01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 1: because these particular kind of missiles are their shorter range, 1499 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:08,479 Speaker 1: so that the person who is in range of them, 1500 01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:10,599 Speaker 1: these countries who are arranged of them, have much shorter 1501 01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:15,240 Speaker 1: decision time if Russia decides to launch one. They had many, 1502 01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:18,680 Speaker 1: many of these particular type of missiles, and so we 1503 01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:24,040 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan negotiated this treaty and we abolished and successfully 1504 01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:29,679 Speaker 1: removed this particular range of missiles from the European theater. Now, 1505 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:33,080 Speaker 1: since then though Russia has been cheating. They have not 1506 01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 1: only been testing this particular type of missile, but now 1507 01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:40,240 Speaker 1: they are deploying several battalions of this particular missiles. The 1508 01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:43,360 Speaker 1: Obama administration knew they were doing, couldn't get Russia to comply, 1509 01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,960 Speaker 1: but we're still bound by the treaty. And so now 1510 01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,200 Speaker 1: the Trump administration tried for a couple of years to 1511 01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 1: get Russia to come back into compliance with the treaty, 1512 01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:55,400 Speaker 1: and rather than do that, they've just gone the other 1513 01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:58,320 Speaker 1: direction and continue to deploy more of them. So the 1514 01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:00,880 Speaker 1: Trump administration announced today that we are not going to 1515 01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 1: be suckers to use the president. You know, President has 1516 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:05,840 Speaker 1: said that in the past, We're not going to be 1517 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:09,400 Speaker 1: suckers anymore. This is a perfect example of that. And 1518 01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:11,920 Speaker 1: so we are. We have announced that in six months 1519 01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,680 Speaker 1: of freshness, no longer complying with the treaty than we 1520 01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:17,800 Speaker 1: are out of the treaty. The treaty's gone, so we 1521 01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:21,080 Speaker 1: will be out of this treaty. What what's the concern, right, 1522 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,400 Speaker 1: because people, anytime you talk about pulling out of a 1523 01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:27,000 Speaker 1: nuclear treaty, you're telling me that Russia is cheating. We've 1524 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:29,280 Speaker 1: been known, we've known for a while that Russia is cheating, 1525 01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,799 Speaker 1: So why wouldn't we want to pull out of the treaty. 1526 01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:34,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure there must be some you know, if Trump 1527 01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:35,920 Speaker 1: is doing it, it has to be bad. There are 1528 01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:37,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that will think that. 1529 01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:41,000 Speaker 1: And so what are they going to say? This is destabilizing, 1530 01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:45,240 Speaker 1: this is Trump pushing us to nuclear war. So the arguments, 1531 01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,560 Speaker 1: it's so the arguments for those who so I support this, 1532 01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:51,200 Speaker 1: I support this. I think that you know, for too 1533 01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:54,360 Speaker 1: long the United States has thought that we call its 1534 01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:56,760 Speaker 1: arms control. These are the treaties we have with other 1535 01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:59,800 Speaker 1: countries that constrain those parties to the treaties from what 1536 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:02,680 Speaker 1: can deploy, things that they can possess, different types of 1537 01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:05,640 Speaker 1: missiles they can possess, and more head numbers, etc. And 1538 01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:07,759 Speaker 1: a lot of people who have a lot of confidence 1539 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:11,000 Speaker 1: in these agreements think that these by having these treaties, 1540 01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:15,040 Speaker 1: that the world is safer and more stabilizing. But both 1541 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:18,480 Speaker 1: parties have to abide by them, otherwise it just constrains 1542 01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:21,759 Speaker 1: the United States just ties our hands and doesn't constrain stairs. 1543 01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:24,200 Speaker 1: So I think it makes a load of sense to 1544 01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:26,320 Speaker 1: get out of treaties in which the United States know 1545 01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,160 Speaker 1: we abide by treaties like boy Scouts because we're Americans. 1546 01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:31,479 Speaker 1: It's how we do it. Countries like Russia just try 1547 01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:34,480 Speaker 1: to cheat. They treat on the margins, they cheat outright sometimes, 1548 01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:36,760 Speaker 1: and then the United States continues to try to get 1549 01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:39,479 Speaker 1: them to comply. So the fear is here for those 1550 01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:42,080 Speaker 1: who think we should be party to this treaty or 1551 01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:43,880 Speaker 1: to continue to try to get the Russians to comply 1552 01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:45,920 Speaker 1: and stay in the treaty. They fear that there's going 1553 01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:49,200 Speaker 1: to be an armed race if we get out of 1554 01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:52,360 Speaker 1: the treaty. But my argument to that is, but the 1555 01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 1: Russians are already doing it. The Russians are already developing 1556 01:29:57,040 --> 01:29:59,960 Speaker 1: and deploying these missiles, So we're not going to incentivize 1557 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:02,320 Speaker 1: them to do the thing that they're already doing. It 1558 01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:06,360 Speaker 1: just now gives us the option to one, perhaps that 1559 01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:09,800 Speaker 1: deploy these things back in the European theater, if we 1560 01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:13,040 Speaker 1: believe that that's what we need to deter Russia, or 1561 01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:16,920 Speaker 1: perhaps in the Asian theater, because the Chinese have never 1562 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:21,040 Speaker 1: been party to this treaty, and if the Chinese were 1563 01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:23,840 Speaker 1: party to the treaty, more than ninety percent of their 1564 01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:26,479 Speaker 1: entire missile force would be in violation of it. It's 1565 01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:29,120 Speaker 1: basically like their entire missile force as I n F 1566 01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:32,559 Speaker 1: noncompliant missiles if they were party to the treaty. And 1567 01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:35,160 Speaker 1: so this gives the United States an option now to 1568 01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,559 Speaker 1: look at different theaters and say, hey, maybe we might 1569 01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:43,040 Speaker 1: want to invest in this particular weapons system. Again, also politics, right, 1570 01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:44,519 Speaker 1: they're going to be able to look at this through 1571 01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:47,040 Speaker 1: that lens. Here's what Kelly ha and Conway had to 1572 01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:49,639 Speaker 1: say after the announcement came out today. Yeah, well, he's 1573 01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:51,200 Speaker 1: been tough on Russia for a while, and I would 1574 01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:52,720 Speaker 1: like to see how they're going to spin this one. 1575 01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:58,240 Speaker 1: This is a president who has put additional sanctions on Russians, 1576 01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:00,800 Speaker 1: on bad actors where he and his Treasury Department have 1577 01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:04,400 Speaker 1: seen fit. He's expelled sixty plus Russians from this country, 1578 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:07,559 Speaker 1: shut down two of their consulates at last count, and 1579 01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:09,960 Speaker 1: I think pushed back on Putin at once but twice 1580 01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:14,080 Speaker 1: when one of his puppets, Assad in Syria gassed his 1581 01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:18,160 Speaker 1: own people. When the President saw that, he took action immediately. 1582 01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:20,200 Speaker 1: People have to start looking at the facts and the 1583 01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:22,200 Speaker 1: figures about how tough this president has been on Russia 1584 01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:25,519 Speaker 1: at the same time trying to negotiate peace where he 1585 01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:29,600 Speaker 1: can and big resolved by two major countries where it's appropriate. 1586 01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:32,200 Speaker 1: What do you make of this? I mean, we always 1587 01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:35,879 Speaker 1: hear from at least some of the media that Trump 1588 01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:39,000 Speaker 1: is not just soft on Russia, but he's Putin's puppet. 1589 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 1: People actually say this kind of stuff, and yet you 1590 01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:45,040 Speaker 1: just heard that recitation of different facts from Kelly Ann Conway. 1591 01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:46,519 Speaker 1: I could throw a few others in there too that 1592 01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:49,960 Speaker 1: she left off. What do you make of it? I 1593 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,080 Speaker 1: think that Kelly An Conway is exactly right. Listen, I've 1594 01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:56,479 Speaker 1: been watching I Nuclear Deterrent. I've been you know, that's 1595 01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:59,599 Speaker 1: kind of my main area of specialty. I focus on 1596 01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:02,720 Speaker 1: US Russia relations, US China relations because these are the 1597 01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:05,439 Speaker 1: great powers that have a lot of nuclear weapons. So 1598 01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:07,719 Speaker 1: this is an area that I focused on for many years. 1599 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:10,320 Speaker 1: And a lot of people have asked me, Rebecca, aren't 1600 01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:12,479 Speaker 1: you worried about Trump? Aren't you worried that the Russians 1601 01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:16,679 Speaker 1: have something on Trump that could harm US security? And 1602 01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:21,599 Speaker 1: I have said since he was the Republican nominee, you know, 1603 01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:23,719 Speaker 1: and since then, I'm going to be able to tell 1604 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,599 Speaker 1: if there's something on Trump by the way he conducts 1605 01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:30,640 Speaker 1: US foreign policy views of the Russia, and Kelly and 1606 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,960 Speaker 1: Kanway is exactly right. This administration has been far tougher 1607 01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:38,000 Speaker 1: as a matter of policy on Russia in doing what 1608 01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:42,480 Speaker 1: the United States needs to do, not looking to aggravate Russia, 1609 01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:46,080 Speaker 1: but to look but to pursue US interests, regardless of 1610 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:48,080 Speaker 1: if the Russians complain about what the thing is that 1611 01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:51,680 Speaker 1: we're doing. And I support presidents trying to look for 1612 01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:54,800 Speaker 1: opportunities to extend an open hand to Russia where we 1613 01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:56,680 Speaker 1: can get along with them, because what we don't want 1614 01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:59,200 Speaker 1: to happen is an alliance between Russia and China. If 1615 01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:02,200 Speaker 1: we can find opportunities to cooperate with the Russians so 1616 01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 1: that we can count our rising China, then we should 1617 01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:08,720 Speaker 1: do that. If we can find counter terrorism opportunities to 1618 01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:11,320 Speaker 1: work together, we should do that. And we should pursue 1619 01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,360 Speaker 1: our interests like like the I n F treaty for instance. 1620 01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:16,200 Speaker 1: If they're not going to comply, then we don't. We 1621 01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:19,759 Speaker 1: shouldn't be party to that treaty. So Kelly and Conway 1622 01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:22,880 Speaker 1: is exactly right. And you can see now the same 1623 01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:25,680 Speaker 1: people who accuse President Trump of being an agent of 1624 01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:28,479 Speaker 1: the Russian government are pretty quiet now when it comes 1625 01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:30,600 Speaker 1: to the ion F treaty, or they're saying, oh no, 1626 01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:33,400 Speaker 1: the are going to aggravate Putin. You know, they're kind 1627 01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 1: of all over the board on this. So the President 1628 01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,960 Speaker 1: Trump does not get enough credit for leading an American 1629 01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,679 Speaker 1: foreign policy that's good for the United States and tous 1630 01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,440 Speaker 1: when the Russia tuf one Russia when the Russian needs 1631 01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:49,360 Speaker 1: need it, and its farm truffer than the Obama administration 1632 01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:54,559 Speaker 1: was by far.

Thanks so much, have a good weekend. 1636 01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:16,080 Speaker 1: We right back, team Hey, Team Buck, It's time for 1637 01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:28,000 Speaker 1: roll call. And I didn't pick that. I didn't pick 1638 01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:32,000 Speaker 1: the best weather for NYC. John. It's a little a 1639 01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:36,080 Speaker 1: little bit chilly up in here. Not exactly what I 1640 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:38,880 Speaker 1: had in mind, But it was worse yesterday. Well, yeah, 1641 01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:42,479 Speaker 1: it was DC yesterday. It was painful to walk around outside, 1642 01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:45,720 Speaker 1: but then again, it wasn't like Chicago, where from what 1643 01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:49,600 Speaker 1: I understand, people were throwing buckets of water up in 1644 01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:53,080 Speaker 1: the air, and they would turn to icicles or whatever. 1645 01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:56,680 Speaker 1: Not icicles, but you know, snow, yes, snow, there you go, 1646 01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,479 Speaker 1: they turned it. That's right, they would turn to snow, 1647 01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:03,400 Speaker 1: not icicle. Buck, get it together, Sexton. I am happy 1648 01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:07,360 Speaker 1: that'll be up in New York City hometown, even when 1649 01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:12,080 Speaker 1: it's congested and freezing and there's a lot of sludge 1650 01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:15,280 Speaker 1: and snow and the snow is yellow in a lot 1651 01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:19,479 Speaker 1: of places. You know, that's special New York snow. That's 1652 01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:21,080 Speaker 1: the special New York snow. You know what I mean. 1653 01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:23,840 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, look at that. We have multi colored 1654 01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:26,559 Speaker 1: snow here in New York City. There's no place like home, right, 1655 01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:29,880 Speaker 1: but I do miss it. Yeah, man, there's there's no place. 1656 01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:32,320 Speaker 1: There's definitely no place like home. Is it? Is it 1657 01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:38,000 Speaker 1: the best place? That's a whole other conversation. Alrighty, Jeremy, 1658 01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:41,919 Speaker 1: First up on Facebook, We're gonna double the Facebook this weekend, 1659 01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:45,200 Speaker 1: Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton. That's the way to 1660 01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:49,920 Speaker 1: do it. We can double that action. Here's what Jeremy says. Buck. 1661 01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 1: It has been a while, but wanted to say that 1662 01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,880 Speaker 1: your monologue on the state of the US's military is 1663 01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:57,680 Speaker 1: well done. We have fallen into a mindset that warre 1664 01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:00,000 Speaker 1: in the Middle East is the norm and will never change. 1665 01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:02,120 Speaker 1: It's great to hear someone on the right who calls 1666 01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:04,599 Speaker 1: into question our world military presence and hope more people 1667 01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:08,840 Speaker 1: will listen. Shields high, Jeremy, Well, Jeremy, I hope that 1668 01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:12,759 Speaker 1: your hope comes true. I mean, I think that there's 1669 01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:17,040 Speaker 1: plenty of reason and there's lots of evidence to support 1670 01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:20,800 Speaker 1: the idea that we probably should not continue to do 1671 01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:22,240 Speaker 1: what we're doing. I mean, I've been saying for a 1672 01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:25,320 Speaker 1: long time what we're doing in Afghanistan is not going 1673 01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:31,920 Speaker 1: to work. It's not going to work. Okay, So we 1674 01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:34,640 Speaker 1: can talk a lot about how oh well do you 1675 01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:36,880 Speaker 1: know I've been saying for how many years on this 1676 01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,400 Speaker 1: show that the strategy is the same strategy. I mean, 1677 01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:41,880 Speaker 1: you have the same strategy and the same, if not 1678 01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:47,000 Speaker 1: worse factors aligned against the strategy. Your prospects for success 1679 01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:52,120 Speaker 1: are dim, and that is the truth of the mission 1680 01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:55,000 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. Trying to leave a presence there to hold 1681 01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:58,400 Speaker 1: it all together. That all sounds fine. People said to me, oh, buck, 1682 01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:00,680 Speaker 1: but we don't have to not doing a lot of 1683 01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,840 Speaker 1: the front line fighting. That's the Taliban, that's Afghanist I mean, 1684 01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:07,360 Speaker 1: that's the Afghan National Army and the Taliban that's up 1685 01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,880 Speaker 1: to them, and that I just say, that's all true 1686 01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,160 Speaker 1: until things get really bad. You know, remember that your 1687 01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:17,320 Speaker 1: your presence of four or five thousand soldiers becomes a 1688 01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:21,479 Speaker 1: much bigger issue when the bad guys are making a 1689 01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:24,960 Speaker 1: run on the capitol of the country. You know, when 1690 01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:29,680 Speaker 1: the bad guys start threatening to massacre a whole division 1691 01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:32,479 Speaker 1: of the Allies, that your soldiers. So, you know, if 1692 01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:35,719 Speaker 1: we have four thousand Americans spread around a few bases, 1693 01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:38,000 Speaker 1: let's say I think it's more like nine thousand Afghanistans. 1694 01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:40,240 Speaker 1: Let's say it's let's say it's ten thousand. You've got 1695 01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:47,080 Speaker 1: ten thousand Americans spread around Afghanistan. Okay. What happens when 1696 01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:51,160 Speaker 1: you see an Afghan Army division completely encircled by Taliban 1697 01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:55,599 Speaker 1: in Helman Province? Okay, yeah, sure, we'll deploy air assets. 1698 01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:59,160 Speaker 1: What if that's not enough, then we're gonna send our 1699 01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:04,599 Speaker 1: guys in. What if the Taliban has twenty thousand, Now 1700 01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:06,559 Speaker 1: we're gonna do what you see, all of a sudden, 1701 01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,479 Speaker 1: you get pushed into the well. We better do a 1702 01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:12,200 Speaker 1: lot more or else our soldiers are going to be 1703 01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:14,559 Speaker 1: under real threat. And that's that's where this starts to 1704 01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:22,040 Speaker 1: become I think, a very big problem, very quickly. All right, Mike, 1705 01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:24,920 Speaker 1: what Mike? Mike writes buck any thoughts on the peace 1706 01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:28,559 Speaker 1: negotiations in Afghanistan with the Taliban and the era of Trump. 1707 01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:30,920 Speaker 1: It's hard to get news on something like that. Thanks 1708 01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:34,000 Speaker 1: Shields High. Well, Mike, I was just kind of turns 1709 01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:38,120 Speaker 1: out I was just kind of talking about it, you know. 1710 01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:43,719 Speaker 1: I think that here's the reality. There's very little reason 1711 01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:47,479 Speaker 1: to believe that whatever deal that we have with the 1712 01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:51,080 Speaker 1: Taliban will be respected for any length of time by 1713 01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:54,599 Speaker 1: the Taliban. They will, they'll adhere to the deal until 1714 01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:56,439 Speaker 1: it's no longer in their interest to do so. The 1715 01:38:56,520 --> 01:39:00,000 Speaker 1: Taliban has no honor, there's no agreement, there's no agreement 1716 01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:01,960 Speaker 1: that they can sign with us that we should expect 1717 01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:07,200 Speaker 1: them to maintain. So that's what I've got for you 1718 01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:09,720 Speaker 1: all that. I mean, it's unfortunate but true, But that 1719 01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:13,479 Speaker 1: doesn't mean we shouldn't leave. Staying forever is not a 1720 01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:16,000 Speaker 1: good idea. And I was just explaining why. You'll hear 1721 01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,880 Speaker 1: a lot of conservatives saying, oh, it's just a maintenance. President, No, 1722 01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:22,280 Speaker 1: Afghanistan is an active combat zone. It's not South Korea, 1723 01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:27,800 Speaker 1: it's not Germany, it's not you know, Guam. This is 1724 01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:32,160 Speaker 1: a place where you could have a division level military 1725 01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:36,400 Speaker 1: engagement that would require a much larger scale of US 1726 01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:40,680 Speaker 1: military support. And that's how Mission Creep happens. That's how 1727 01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:47,040 Speaker 1: these things occur. All right, let's see here, Mark, right, Buck, 1728 01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:51,160 Speaker 1: could you please explain why the left hates rich people 1729 01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:55,280 Speaker 1: that were made rich by the left that hates them 1730 01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:59,760 Speaker 1: by purchasing the products from them that made them richet 1731 01:39:59,800 --> 01:40:02,800 Speaker 1: the love the leftist rich politicians that they made rich 1732 01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:05,120 Speaker 1: for voting them. I understand the left things tax money 1733 01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:11,040 Speaker 1: disappears at a nowhere, but are they that dumb? Mark? Yeah, 1734 01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go with yeah on that one. We 1735 01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:14,840 Speaker 1: ran around in a little bit of a circle there, 1736 01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:18,760 Speaker 1: But I think I know what you're going for. Tera Hey, Buck, 1737 01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:21,559 Speaker 1: love the show as always. Do you know whatever happened 1738 01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:24,559 Speaker 1: to the Maga bomber? Keep up the gray work shield 1739 01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:26,439 Speaker 1: side terror, you know. I will tell you I have 1740 01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:30,479 Speaker 1: actually not seen any follow up stories of any kind 1741 01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:34,559 Speaker 1: about the Maga bomber. I am not familiar with what 1742 01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:38,080 Speaker 1: the latest information is on him. I'm assuming you mean 1743 01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:43,040 Speaker 1: the guy who was in the magamobile in Florida who 1744 01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:45,680 Speaker 1: was sending pipe bombs. I always wanted to know if 1745 01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:51,600 Speaker 1: those pipe bombs were if those pipe bombs were active devices, 1746 01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:54,360 Speaker 1: or if they were dummy devices. I know there was 1747 01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:56,760 Speaker 1: some reporting it said that they were lethal devices, but 1748 01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm curious when they pulled them apart, what the reality was. Jerry. 1749 01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,440 Speaker 1: Someone at work asked the question about late term abortions, 1750 01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:09,880 Speaker 1: is this a new method for harvesting stem cells? Just 1751 01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:12,320 Speaker 1: wondering if you have insight, Jerry, I don't think it's 1752 01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:15,080 Speaker 1: a new method for harvesting stem cells. Although what we 1753 01:41:15,120 --> 01:41:18,760 Speaker 1: saw from the undercover Planned Parenthood videos taken by the 1754 01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:22,880 Speaker 1: Center for Medical Progress David de Layden and his group 1755 01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:28,840 Speaker 1: is that they do sell the soon to what would 1756 01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:34,280 Speaker 1: be otherwise discarded tissue. They do sell it for They're 1757 01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:36,599 Speaker 1: not supposed to sell it for a profit, but they 1758 01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:40,720 Speaker 1: do so that there is a financial incentive in the 1759 01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:44,680 Speaker 1: abortion industry, and we would be fooling ourselves if we 1760 01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:49,160 Speaker 1: were not aware of it. Bruce oh Man, Bruce, You're 1761 01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:53,280 Speaker 1: opening monologue on the podcast for January thirtieth made me 1762 01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:56,519 Speaker 1: tear up how the hell are democrats so evil in America? 1763 01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:58,479 Speaker 1: Sale so okay with this? Just want to put my 1764 01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:03,240 Speaker 1: hands on my head in the sands sometimes and give up. Oh, Bruce, 1765 01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:06,680 Speaker 1: I appreciate that you also feel the passion for the 1766 01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:09,800 Speaker 1: topic and the subject matter that I do. And you know, 1767 01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:12,280 Speaker 1: I've gotten a little triad on this show more than one. 1768 01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:16,519 Speaker 1: So it definitely happens. And in terms of where the 1769 01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:19,519 Speaker 1: Democrats are on this, you know, I saw a Washington 1770 01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,519 Speaker 1: Post reporter say that he considered this to be a 1771 01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:26,960 Speaker 1: local news story, and to that I just would respond, 1772 01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:31,599 Speaker 1: It's not a local news story when two of the 1773 01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:37,160 Speaker 1: most major states in the United States are legalizing what 1774 01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:41,000 Speaker 1: is clearly infanticide. Even if, and this is an important 1775 01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:45,200 Speaker 1: and important part of all this, even if what could 1776 01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:49,439 Speaker 1: happen never does happen, which is not the case, but if, 1777 01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:51,559 Speaker 1: just for the sake of argument, even if they were 1778 01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:56,040 Speaker 1: saying that nobody would kill a baby that was being 1779 01:42:56,160 --> 01:43:00,160 Speaker 1: born under these laws in New York and in Virginia, 1780 01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:04,920 Speaker 1: the fact that it would, in theory be legal is 1781 01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:10,920 Speaker 1: grotesquely immoral and says very bad things about the state 1782 01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:14,519 Speaker 1: of well, the state of ethics in this country, the 1783 01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:18,840 Speaker 1: state of the law in this country. Al all rights 1784 01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:24,880 Speaker 1: bonfire of progressive lunacy quote. Nice, thanks Al. I try 1785 01:43:24,880 --> 01:43:27,400 Speaker 1: to go for the rhetorical flourishes sometimes, you know, trying 1786 01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,200 Speaker 1: to make sure that everybody listens to the show gets 1787 01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:32,920 Speaker 1: they get. Well. I was gonna say, get their money's worth, 1788 01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,599 Speaker 1: but the show is free, so I guess get their 1789 01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:36,320 Speaker 1: time's worth. There you go, try to make sure you 1790 01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:40,200 Speaker 1: get your time's worth, which is an important thing. John 1791 01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:43,880 Speaker 1: writes buck huge fan. I want to see another shutdown 1792 01:43:44,240 --> 01:43:46,160 Speaker 1: because if they see it's gonna happen again, and if 1793 01:43:46,160 --> 01:43:48,280 Speaker 1: it lasts way longer, it will scare the DEM base 1794 01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,120 Speaker 1: because they saw what happened before. I don't want it 1795 01:43:51,160 --> 01:43:52,960 Speaker 1: to happen again, and I believe the DEM base will 1796 01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:57,280 Speaker 1: force Pelosi's hand. I don't know, John Pelosi is uh. 1797 01:43:57,800 --> 01:43:59,599 Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of criticism. I have 1798 01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:04,200 Speaker 1: heard Pelosi's pretty hardcore, and she will stick. She will 1799 01:44:04,200 --> 01:44:06,439 Speaker 1: stick to her side of things, no matter I think 1800 01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:10,479 Speaker 1: how much the heat gets turned up because she gets reelected. 1801 01:44:10,520 --> 01:44:13,960 Speaker 1: No matter what. Remember that there is no there is 1802 01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:16,720 Speaker 1: no sanity check on Nancy Pelosi because her district is 1803 01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:21,000 Speaker 1: full of a bunch of maniacs. So there's that. As 1804 01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:23,840 Speaker 1: to whether a shutdown would accomplish No, I think Democrats 1805 01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,720 Speaker 1: would be even more embolded in a second shutdown to 1806 01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:28,800 Speaker 1: do what they've done, even though what we see is 1807 01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:31,880 Speaker 1: it Pelosi said, Hey, open the government up and we 1808 01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:34,400 Speaker 1: will negotiate and we'll talk about fixing the wall. And 1809 01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:39,439 Speaker 1: then then Trump opens up the government and they say, sorry, 1810 01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:43,479 Speaker 1: no funding for a wall, full stop, period, nothing else. 1811 01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:48,080 Speaker 1: I just think that's that's telling us a lot about her, 1812 01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:52,479 Speaker 1: but unfortunately won't really matter. Robert Rents book. As much 1813 01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:55,080 Speaker 1: as I hate to agree with Rachel Maddow, she isn't 1814 01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:57,760 Speaker 1: entirely incorrect when she suggests that a foreign power like 1815 01:44:57,840 --> 01:45:00,720 Speaker 1: China or Russia could take out part or all of 1816 01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:03,559 Speaker 1: the power grid, a local hacker could do damage. They 1817 01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:05,360 Speaker 1: don't do it because we view it as the equivalent 1818 01:45:05,360 --> 01:45:10,439 Speaker 1: of a nuclear or the near equivalent of a nuclear attack. Robert, 1819 01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:12,519 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it couldn't happen. I'm just saying 1820 01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:16,240 Speaker 1: it's part of the only reason the MSNBC audience. And 1821 01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:19,280 Speaker 1: remember Rachel matt I was trying to every night give 1822 01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:23,280 Speaker 1: the MSNBC audience what they want. That's her job. Her 1823 01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:26,519 Speaker 1: job is to give the left wing loons who watched 1824 01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:28,920 Speaker 1: that show what they want, tell them what they want 1825 01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:31,360 Speaker 1: to hear, you know, show them what they want to see. 1826 01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:33,840 Speaker 1: That's the whole point of it. And the reason that 1827 01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:37,439 Speaker 1: Russia is high up on their you know, in terms 1828 01:45:37,439 --> 01:45:40,040 Speaker 1: of interest level here. The reason they like Russia is 1829 01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:43,880 Speaker 1: because Russia has turned into the Left has turned it 1830 01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:47,920 Speaker 1: into the number one boogeyman for the United States now 1831 01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:51,240 Speaker 1: because they gave Trump the election. That's that's what this 1832 01:45:51,320 --> 01:45:55,080 Speaker 1: is really all about. So I think that's that's why 1833 01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:57,400 Speaker 1: I was pointing to the Russia thing. Yes, technically they 1834 01:45:57,400 --> 01:45:59,320 Speaker 1: could take down the power grid, but do you think 1835 01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:01,519 Speaker 1: the left really worries about that as a general national 1836 01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:04,920 Speaker 1: security issue. No, it's just Russia scary, that's all they 1837 01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:08,320 Speaker 1: want to say. That's what it is. That's what it 1838 01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:11,479 Speaker 1: is really about. So quick pause here, team, we're gonna 1839 01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:13,639 Speaker 1: come right back, finish up the roll. Call some thoughts 1840 01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:16,360 Speaker 1: for the weekend. It's going to be an extravaganza of awesome. 1841 01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:18,519 Speaker 1: John looks so excited.

I went to Connecticut College, Okay, Chris. 1858 01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:43,040 Speaker 1: I was born and raised in New York City, in Manhattan. 1859 01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:47,040 Speaker 1: I went to Regis High School, which is a Jesuit 1860 01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:49,040 Speaker 1: school here in the city.

When the 1884 01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:10,479 Speaker 1: temp is mine is twenty in Kentucky, which isn't used 1885 01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:13,240 Speaker 1: to those extremes. People aren't equipped in short notice to 1886 01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:15,960 Speaker 1: deal with it. For example, waiting at a bus stop 1887 01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:17,719 Speaker 1: in those temps, you would probably need a ski mask 1888 01:49:17,800 --> 01:49:21,160 Speaker 1: to cover your whole face. I live in Virginia and 1889 01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:24,200 Speaker 1: haven't seen ski masks in stores since the nineteen seventies, which, 1890 01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:26,160 Speaker 1: by the way, is when running shoes came to stores. 1891 01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:29,320 Speaker 1: In nineteen seventy three, we were still wearing kids to 1892 01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:34,160 Speaker 1: gym class. A lot of information in there. Yeah, really 1893 01:49:34,160 --> 01:49:36,320 Speaker 1: cold weather can be tough. I'm not saying it's not. 1894 01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:43,920 Speaker 1: I get that, Tim. What up? Tim? Did you see 1895 01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:48,400 Speaker 1: this AOC sketch on s n L. No?

That sounds like something that 1898 01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:57,280 Speaker 1: maybe Saturday Night Live should try to do more often 1899 01:49:57,760 --> 01:50:04,759 Speaker 1: be funny instead of being being social justice warriors. David 1900 01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:09,320 Speaker 1: writes Buck Michael Savage was onto something border language and culture. Also, 1901 01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:13,040 Speaker 1: liberalism is a mental disorder. I couldn't agree more these days. 1902 01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:16,439 Speaker 1: You know I've listened to I've never listened to a 1903 01:50:16,479 --> 01:50:22,000 Speaker 1: Michael Savage show, and I've only heard a few excerpts 1904 01:50:22,040 --> 01:50:26,280 Speaker 1: of some monologues. He's done. He's probably the host that 1905 01:50:26,360 --> 01:50:29,080 Speaker 1: I know, the national level radio host that I know 1906 01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:32,479 Speaker 1: the least about. But if you say he's got something good, 1907 01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:35,879 Speaker 1: I'll be sure to check it out. Isn't he retiring? 1908 01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:42,160 Speaker 1: I thought somebody told me he retired. Spencer Buck finally 1909 01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:44,439 Speaker 1: popped up.
