00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Welcome friends to the Buck Sexton Show. Great to have

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: you here, honor and a privilege, and my oh my,

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: we have much to get into today, much to discuss.

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: So Amy Coney Barrett is going to be the Supreme

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Court nominee to take over the RBG seat, and the

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: Libs are triggered, but there's very little that it seems

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: they have been able to offer up so far as resistance.

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: In fact, what I've seen mostly is that they complain.

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: They whine about ACB being called ACB because it sounds

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: like RBG and only only you know, some initials like

15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: that are a live out for someone as great as RBG. Right,

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: So that's that's what they're saying, don't call her ACB,

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: which it's like they've never been to high school before.

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: Don't they know that it's ACB, Amy Coney Barrett. Come on, right,

19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: If you're going to say don't call someone that because

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: it annoys you, then people tend to say, well, now,

21
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: We're definitely going to call her that, And that's that's

22
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: the way this is going to shake out. That's the

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: that's the reality I think here. So as as for

24
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: their attempts to undermine her, I mean here you had

25
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: CNN politics. The Supreme Court is on the verge of

26
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: historic transformation that could wind back the law in America

27
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: for decades. What is that even wind back the law?

28
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Notice how a court decision that goes in favor of

29
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: what the Libs want is settled always in forever, but

30
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: everything else is up for discussion. Right. You know, the

31
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: law all the land when it came to marriage was

32
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: the same for a couple of hundred years. Then the

33
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: Supreme Court came along and said, no, it's different now. Right, So,

34
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: whether you agree or disagree with the ruling, I'm just

35
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: saying things change, Libs. The composition of the court changes. Maybe,

36
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: don't have people legislate from the bench, and you won't

37
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: have to worry so much about who sits on the

38
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Although I don't think they're going to change

39
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: that mentality anytime soon. But with ACB, you have a brilliant, attractive,

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: successful mother of seven, a devout Roman Catholic, she's got

41
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: two adopted children from Haiti Chakarpool Mom a patriot, a constitutionalist,

42
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: and she's humble, and the left absolutely hates her, hates her,

43
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: despises her. Well, we know they're desperate because they're saying

44
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: things that are just objectively, factually untrue. Perfect example, there

45
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: should be Joe Biden himself, Blake lip One. Never before

46
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: in our nation's history as a Supreme Court justice has

47
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: been nominated and installed while a presidential election is already underway.

48
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: It defies every precedent, every expectation of a nation where

49
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: the people the people are sovereign and the rule of

50
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: law reigns. But yesterday, before Justice Ginsburg can be laid

51
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: to rest, and after a hundred thousands of Americans had

52
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: already cast their ballots, the President nominated a successor to

53
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: her seat. There's no mystery about what's happening here. President

54
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Trump was trying to throw out the Affordable Care Act.

55
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: He's been trying to do it for the last four years.

56
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: The Republican Party has been trying to eliminate it for

57
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: a decade. Everything that he said about how this is

58
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: unprecedented is a lie. It's just not true. I mean,

59
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: he can say it, but it's a lie. He can

60
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: pretend that that's the the reality as long as he wants,

61
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: but it will not change history. There have been plenty

62
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: of Supreme Court seats filled in an election year, plenty

63
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: of them. So it's not unprecedented at all. And when

64
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: they say things like it's unprecedented or it's illegitimate, you

65
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: should pay very close attention because it is precedented. And

66
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: in what way is it illegitimate. It's as legitimate as

67
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: it gets. This is what it says should be done

68
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: in the Constitution. But they are absolutely desperate, that much

69
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: is for sure. They're desperate at this point because what

70
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: do they have to go on here? You know, when

71
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: you have a white male, we know what the playbook is,

72
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: have someone from their past accuse them of rape. I mean,

73
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: I really mean, that's that's what they did with Kavanaugh,

74
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: or attempted rape, that's what they did with keV or

75
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: gang rape, actually using drugs to drug people. That's what

76
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: the third accuser of Kavanaugh said. So we know they

77
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: have that as a plan. We know that's out of

78
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: the playbook. Accused somebody with no evidence, with not even

79
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: the substantiation necessary to prove that two people even ever met, right,

80
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: but with no evidence, accused a white male of rape,

81
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: and that becomes the that smear becomes the defense against

82
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: that person being elevated in the Supreme Court. But what

83
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: do they do with this person? This woman? They're saying, Oh,

84
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: she wasn't on the court long enough, only three years.

85
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: Who wants to guess how long Atlanta Kagan was on

86
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 1: the federal bench. Oh, that's right, she was a lawyer

87
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: who had worked in policy for the Obama administration. Elevator

88
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court. That's not going to work very well,

89
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: is it now? That that's not going to there. They're

90
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: trying all of these attacks just to see if they

91
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: can get some some leverage, get something here. And I

92
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: think that they've they've missed understood to borrow from Bush,

93
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: they misunderestimated, they this misunderstood the degree to which the

94
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: right is unified on this. Because the smearing of Kavanaugh

95
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 1: was the ugliest political attack many Americans have ever seen.

96
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: And while it's hard to believe anything could sink lower

97
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: than that, everyone has been assuming the Democrats will be

98
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: even more grotesque when they go after Amy Coney Barrett.

99
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: I've been thinking this will just be satanic, but how

100
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: and so far I've stumbled. I can't tell you that

101
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: I even know what it is they're planning to do.

102
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: I can't come up with a warden. Now, I'm not

103
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: an evil sociopath like a lot of these Democrats are,

104
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: so I don't I wouldn't expect that I'd be able

105
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: to figure this out necessarily. But they've been trying to

106
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: see if they could at least start to erode support

107
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: Fremy Coney Barrett. And it's not going to work because

108
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: the Kavanaugh moment was a moment of political awakening for

109
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: a lot of conservatives. It was a moment of recognition

110
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: of what the other side is willing to do. Injected

111
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: conservative steroids into people's ideology. Right. It made those of

112
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: us who had thought politics is the art of the

113
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: possible and trying to find the best compromise you canada

114
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: the circumstances turn those people into I'm a wartime conservative.

115
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: We have to win until the other side stops being crazy.

116
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: We just have to keep winning until we get tired

117
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: of it. And we're not tired of it yet. So

118
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: they've tried these attacks against Amy Coney Barrett, like the

119
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: attack on her from numerous liberals. I was seeing this

120
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I'm not making this up. People were

121
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: going after her for adopting two children from Haiti. There

122
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: was a professor from Boston University, Ibraham Kendy, and he

123
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: said that this was because she was a colonizer, and

124
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: then said a bunch of other horrible things about the

125
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: creation of a family. I mean, adopt is such a

126
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. We all know that it's about parents loving

127
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: their children, building a family together. We should all celebrate it.

128
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: Anyone who tries to undermine or attack adoption to score

129
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: political points is pure scum. You got to remember that.

130
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 1: You got to remember that in these days ahead. And

131
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: you see this with what they've done to the Amy

132
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: Coney Barrett nomination. They're trying to undermine her, very her

133
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: family and suggest there's something off or even insidious about adopting,

134
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: about Amy Coney Barrett adopting two children from Haiti, because

135
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: she's effectively she's part of this is part of the

136
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: white oppressor narrative. That's what Abraham Kendy was saying. Professor

137
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: at Boston University, who's considered an expert on race, and

138
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: he said some other more terrible things too. Now there

139
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: are people who are calling for him to be to

140
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: be fired. I doubt he will be. He accused her

141
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: of using her two adopted Haitian children as props. Here

142
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: you go, here's the actual, the actual quote. Some white

143
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: colonizers adopted black children. They civilize these quote savage children

144
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: in the superior ways of white people, while using them

145
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting

146
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: the biological parents of these children out of the picture

147
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: of humanity. That was the quote from Ebraham Kenedy. I mean,

148
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: an absolutely horrifying thing to write, to think, to believe,

149
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: because a professor of Boston University. Folks, you you can

150
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: have your kids for the pleasure of about spending sixty

151
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. You can have this man teaching

152
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: your children what to think about race relations. A disgusting thing.

153
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: And he wasn't the only one. Other people were saying

154
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: that there was. I actually had some blue checks to

155
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: come after me because I said adoption is beautiful. All

156
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden, adoption to the left is not beautiful.

157
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: They're willing to attack it cross racial adoption. You see

158
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: is the problem is as I view it, and it

159
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: results from trauma and can often be very complicated and

160
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: result in more trauma. This is what the left was saying.

161
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: There was a whole chorus of blue checks over the

162
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: weekend trying this. But the American people, for the most part,

163
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: those who aren't suffering from ACB derangement syndrome, they saw

164
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: through it. They understood how appalling this was, how honestly

165
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: just evil it was, and so far they have nothing.

166
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: They're going to attack her Catholic faith. They're going to

167
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: attack her adoption of two Haitian children that she's raised

168
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: as their mother and loved them and made them a

169
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: part of her family. They're going to attack, you know,

170
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: attack her for being a traditional, traditional mother who raises children,

171
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: as well as a highly successful federal judge and lawyer

172
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: and a great legal mind, all all of it. It's

173
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: going to be the opposition to her. But it's also

174
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: weak and pathetic and stupid, isn't it. And it's not

175
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: going to be enough. It's not going to be enough.

176
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: That's why I say, why have hearings, why even go

177
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: through this vote next week? Vote as soon as Mitch

178
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: McConnell can get the Senate together and get it scheduled,

179
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: have the vote, have her installed. No more games. It's

180
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: not play time. We got an election to focus on now, folks.

181
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: Trump has made his nomination. Republicans have the votes. The

182
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: Supreme Court seat should be filled. There's no question about

183
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: that at this point. It should be filled, and it

184
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: should be filled before the election. Here's what the President

185
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: said about his pick play eighteen, Amy Coney. Barrett will

186
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: decide cases based on the text of the Constitution as written.

187
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: As Amy has said, being a judge takes cur You

188
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: are not there to decide cases as you may prefer.

189
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: You are there to do your duty and to follow

190
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: the law wherever it may take you. That is exactly

191
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: what Judge Barrett will do on the US Supreme Court.

192
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: And that's exactly why the liberals hate her so much.

193
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: That's why they oppose her, because she won't do what

194
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: they want her to do, which is about a left

195
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: wing pressure and pretend things are in the law that

196
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: are not, Pretend things are supported by the Constitution that

197
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: are just not. Liberals have created an entire jurisprudence based

198
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: on women desire, and that's very hard to defend. That's why,

199
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: intellectually there's an insecurity at the base of all of this.

200
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: They know that they can't really argue, for example, that

201
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: Rovie Wade the right to privacy and this is absurd.

202
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: It's absurd a lot of you, I know, I would

203
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: say it's evil as well. But they're used to this

204
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: super legislator and they've always had in the back of

205
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: their mind that the Supreme Court would give them what

206
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: they want when they couldn't get it through the Congress.

207
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: And that may change, which is why I can't see

208
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: their pathway to destroying ACB or to derailing the nomination.

209
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: But until it is official, until it is done, I'm

210
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: not counting on anything. That's why I want it to move.

211
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to give the Left any chance to

212
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: mount some kind of assault here. I don't want to

213
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: give them an opportunity to pull some last minute shenanigans.

214
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: The Kavanaugh hearings were sailing through, just fine folks, and

215
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: then they sprung the fake sexual assault allegations on him,

216
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: and then people are coming from all over the place

217
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: to make up absurd allegations against the president, I mean

218
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: against the Kavanaugh rather well, they make them against the

219
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: president too. That's why it has to be done before

220
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: the nomination, before the election rather, and I think it

221
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: has to be done as soon as possible, no Senate hearings.

222
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: We don't need to have Kamala Harris, who doesn't have

223
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: one one thousandth of the legal understanding, expertise, scale, or

224
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: acumen that Amy Coney Barrett does. But we don't have

225
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: to have her try to grandstand for all of us.

226
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't do us any good, doesn't help anyone except

227
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: for the powermad Democrats. So why give them what they want?

228
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: President Trump says it's going to get done. I certainly

229
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: hope he's right. Play twenty two. You anticipate to have

230
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: her confirmed before the election? I would like to. I

231
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: would say, we have plenty of time, just in case

232
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: your next question would be, well, you know, should you wait?

233
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: They wouldn't wait. Number one. And importantly, we have a

234
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: lot of time. You know, we also could go after.

235
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: We have tremendous amount of time, and it's been done

236
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: many times before this way, you know, it's an election year. No,

237
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: I think we're going to have it done easily before

238
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: the election. I think it would be nice to do

239
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: get it out of the way. It's so important a decision.

240
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: I think it's important. We're going to try to have

241
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: it done quickly and before the election. But think of

242
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: all the time. So then you have from that date,

243
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: if you have all the way to January twentieth, So

244
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean, who would not do this? They say, well,

245
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: what didn't you wait for the next Well, elections have consequences,

246
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: and we won the election, we have the Senate, we

247
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: have the presidency. So I think she'll be confirmed before

248
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: and probably long before the election, relatively long before the election,

249
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: let's hope. So but if we're gonna learn from history, folks,

250
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: we know, do not delay, Do not give the Democrats

251
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: an inch, Do not allow for any last minute acts

252
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: of sabotage. Ram it through, ram it home, get it done.

253
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: Put acb on the Supreme Court. Thanks for listening to

257
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden didn't even last a day today. I didn't

258
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: even last an hour before after the weekend, calling a

259
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: lid on the campaign. Another one Oh, I'm sure it's

260
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: because he's doing all that debate prep. How much debate

261
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: prep do we think this guy is really doing versus

262
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: how much of what we hear going on here is

263
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: actually about naps? Now, a lid Unless you're somebody who

264
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: works in journalism, this is what they call. This is

265
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: what they call an end to official campaign activities for

266
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: the day. So they put a lid on. It's kind

267
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: of like, all right, guys, that's it. You know. It's

268
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: like they're calling the press conference over so to speaking

269
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: and it's then all right, that's it, no more open stuff,

270
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: no more coverage for all of you. We're calling a

271
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: lid for the day. You know, it's like calling a

272
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: rap on a movie set, right, that's a rap. You know,

273
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: we're done with this thing. And yeah, Joe Biden calls

274
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: a lot of lids his campaign, and they call them

275
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: at nine forty in the morning or whatever it was today,

276
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: very very early on, they're doing everything they can to

277
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: try to drag this third tier S team political candidate.

278
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is amazing. You know, just go

279
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: back and look at what Biden's chances were in two

280
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: thousand and eight when he was running and you can

281
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: see he was right there alongside those great esteemed politicians,

282
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: those political minds of our era, like Dennis Kucinich. I mean,

283
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: he was a Dennis Kucinich level candidate in two thousand

284
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: and eight, and now we're supposed to believe that he's

285
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: the guy to lead the country. No, it's just Democrats

286
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: have a very powerful apparatus. A Democrat Party is a

287
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: very well well established machine, and they think they can

288
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: mobilize enough of their forces behind this guy that they

289
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: can carry him across the finished line and then figure

290
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: out who's really going to be the president afterwards, because

291
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: we all know it's not going to be this guy, right,

292
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean that might go through the motions with him

293
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: for our six twelve, maybe eighteen months, but then he's

294
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: going to be a little too tired, and for personal

295
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: reasons and health reasons, he's going to step aside. That's

296
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: my guess. Maybe he makes it to the mid terms,

297
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: but I don't think he gets I don't think he

298
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: gets beyond that. And I think that that's been the

299
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: plan all along. Really, he was initially saying he wasn't

300
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: going to run for a second term, but then he

301
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: realized that that was giving a lot of credibility to

302
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: those who were saying, well, you're too old for this.

303
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: If you can't run for a second term because of

304
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: age and infirmity, why would you run for a first.

305
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: It's a big country, we get a lot of people.

306
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: And that's what I want to remind everybody of. With Biden.

307
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: You kind of think, what makes Biden better than any

308
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: other Democrat politician other than the fact that he's just

309
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: been in the game a really long time. In what

310
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: way is he different and what way is he inspirational

311
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: or special? It's not. And he could have Nancy Pelosi

312
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: running for president. You could have Chuck Schumer running for president.

313
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: It'd be the same thing. You can get the same

314
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: kind of presidency. In fact, I think Nancy and Chuck

315
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: are both. I think they're well. Chuck is definitely smarter

316
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 1: than Biden. Nancy versus Biden. I that's she's more shrewd

317
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: than he is. She's more cunning. So I'll give her

318
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: credit for that. Like I said, I give credit where

319
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: it's due. But there's also the media trying to do

320
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: everything they can to be sure that we don't that

321
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: we don't have you know too much truth coming out

322
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: about Biden. Right, They're going after We're getting to the

323
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: Trump's tax returns a little bit. We're going after all that.

324
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: And now we have something else that we have to

325
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: look into for a second, which is that the media

326
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: would rather just ignore everything about Joe Biden that is

327
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: unpleasant and hope that no one figures anything out. Then

328
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: do their jobs, right, They'll they'll go deep into Trump

329
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: and they're gonna just let give Biden a path. This

330
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: happens in every election. There's nothing new. You've seen this

331
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: a million times. But here's a perfect example of a

332
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: Bidenism that no politician who wasn't a Democrat and favored

333
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: by the Democrat Party in a general election would ever

334
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: get away with with the press corps. This is not

335
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: a hard one, as you know. In response to the

336
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: ACB situation, I'm only going to call her ACB from

337
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: now on, Amy Coney Barrett ACB replacing RBG. Sorry, libbs,

338
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: they could have had Ruth Bitter Ginsburg stept down during

339
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: the Obama tournament. Quite honestly, she should have, she was

340
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: in bad health. But no, they became a bunch of

341
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: weird RBG cultists who would sit around talking about how

342
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: she did this like sick kettlebell workout man, and it

343
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: was awesome and it was weird. They went, they got

344
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: weird and made bad decisions the public. The public was

345
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: in favor, the Democrats were of keeping RBG around in

346
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: the role she was in, and they roll the dice

347
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: and they lost. That's it. It's as simple as that.

348
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: They can say it's illegitimate. I saw who's the particularly

349
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: dumb senator from New York, a Jilla Brand. I saw

350
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: her saying calling it an illegitimate process she won't take

351
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: part in. If you're gonna say something's illegitimate, you should

352
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: be able to explain why. She can't explain why this

353
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 1: is illegitimate, because it's not. She doesn't have an answer

354
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: as to why we should consider this illegitimate because you

355
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: can't point to anything it's in fact constitutional and clear

356
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: as day that this should be completely acceptable. Right. So,

357
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: but of course they want what they want and they

358
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: don't really care about that. But but Biden, I love this.

359
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: Biden gets away with something here that I hope the

360
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: President hammers him on this point in the debates, and

361
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: this debate I do believe is going to be the

362
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: only way that Hillary went into last debate thinking she's

363
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: so much martyr and more poised and more presidential and

364
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: she could just be here who she can be her

365
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: usual uncharming self and everything would be fine. And I

366
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: think that Trump was able to really get some good

367
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: knocks in on her by just telling it like it is.

368
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: Biden's gonna go in there. He's gonna be like your

369
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: angry uncle of Thanksgiving, who thinks he's the only person

370
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: who's ever read a newspaper and he's just gonna be

371
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: shouting over everybody. That's Biden's gonna go full angry uncle.

372
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: So get ready for that. But I hope, I hope

373
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: that Trump pushes him on this issue specifically because the

374
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: Democrats have been threatening openly. I mean, I mean politicians,

375
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean the people who run the party. They've been

376
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: threatening to pack the courts because of the ACB situation.

377
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: And that's of course norm busting. That's illegitimate, that's in

378
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: violation of existing rules and traditions and principle. But they

379
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: don't care about any of that. But shouldn't Joe Bid

380
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: if his party is saying they want to do that,

381
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't he have to answer the question. Well, here's how

382
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: Biden responds, Play fifteen. I am not and I know

383
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: you're going to be a set with my answer. But

384
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: what I'm not going to do is play the Trump game,

385
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: which is a good game he plays. Take your eye

386
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: off the issue before us. If I were to say

387
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: yes or no to that, that becomes a big issue.

388
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: That's the headline here. Yeah, because it's a big issue.

389
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: So answer the question, you dumb ask is is are

390
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: you going to you know, are you going to pack

391
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court or not? And it's very straightforward. Are

392
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: you going to support adding judges to the Supreme Court

393
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: changing the balance of that judicial body to shoot your

394
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: political whims? Yes or no? You know he won't say

395
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: no because that will upset his bass. But if he

396
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: says yes, we all understand that there there are complaints

397
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: about norms and almost other crap are complete nonsense. Nobody

398
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: else would be allowed to get away with this. I'm

399
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: not going to focus on that thing. You know, the

400
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: most classic evasive, slimy politician answer imaginable. I'm not gonna

401
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: play his game. You know, this is like what you

402
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: say to your wife when she catches you and you

403
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: smell like booze and cigarettes. You said, you're at the

404
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: office late, and you know clearly you're out playing poker

405
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: with the guys at the local whatever, and you know,

406
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: you come home and she, you know, she says, you know,

407
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: I can smell the booze and cigarettes. Are you. I'm

408
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: not gonna play that game, honey, I'm going to bed.

409
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: You know what does that even mean? Means you're avoiding me,

410
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: avoiding the subject. You're avoiding what actually happened, which is

411
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: exactly what Joe Biden's doing here, and he's gonna do

412
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: a lot more of that too. He's supposed to be

413
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: a traditional, safe, trusted Democrat face for a party that

414
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: is now far left and full of socialists and full

415
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: of identity demagogues, identity politics demagogues, and full of people

416
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,959
Speaker 1: that believe in critical race theory and are our authoritarians,

417
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: and believe that the word existent or the words existential

418
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: threat should be used in connection to climate change constantly. Right,

419
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: these people are nuts. That's Joe Biden's party and that's

420
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: his base. Now those are now common that those are

421
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: widespread beliefs among Democrats, and Biden has to represent that

422
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: party and so you'd ask the very obvious question, Well,

423
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: hold on a second, why is it that Joe Biden

424
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: is representing that party but won't answer questions that go

425
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: directly to what he would do in order to deliver

426
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: to the left wing base. And it's good. This is

427
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: a fraud. This is a fake. He can't tell you

428
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: what his party really wants because they're trying to convince

429
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: voters in Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, in about five or six

430
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: other states that the Democrat Party isn't what it really is.

431
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: That's what's happening right now. You're in the Freedom Hunt.

432
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: This is the best of Buck Daily Podcast, the top

433
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: stories of the day from the Buck Sexton Show. Senator

434
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz is in the House from the great state

435
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: of Texas. You all know him very well. He's got

436
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: a new book out, One Vote Away, How a single

437
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: Supreme Court Seat can Change history. Senator Crew is great

438
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: to have you on, Thanks so much, but great to

439
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: be with you. Thanks for having me. All right, we've

440
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: got a huge Supreme Court vacancy to be filled a

441
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: top a very contentious election. What is it that you see,

442
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you've obviously written this book about the one

443
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: seat here and how it can make such a difference.

444
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: What some of the backstory, the history that people should

445
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: know about why the elevation of ACB would be so momentous. Well,

446
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court really is the arbiter and at the

447
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: crossroads of all our constitutional liberties. The book that I

448
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: have out that is coming out this week is just released,

449
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: focuses on our constitutional rights, and each chapter in the

450
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: book focuses on a different constitutional liberty. But before I

451
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: was in the Senate, I was a Supreme Court litigator.

452
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: So that's what I did for a living, is argue

453
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: cases in front of the Supreme Court. And so there's

454
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: one chapter on free speech, There's one chapter on religious liberty.

455
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: There's one chapter on the Second Amendment. There's one chapter

456
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: on US sovereignty. There's one chapter on elections and democracy,

457
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: and it goes into Bush versus Gore, which I was

458
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: part of the legal team representing George W. Bush, and

459
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: it was obviously contested election, which we could see a

460
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: reprise of it this year with this election. And what

461
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: I do in the book is every chapter tells really

462
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: the inside story, the backstory behind landmark cases at the Court,

463
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: behind the biggest cases of the Court, many of which

464
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: I helped litigate, And so it takes you behind to understand, Okay,

465
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: what are the issues the court it has in front

466
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: of them? Why does it matter to me? Who are

467
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: the justices? It tells a lot of inside stories about

468
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: the justices, about the litigants, and it's designed so that

469
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: you don't have to be a lawyer to understand or

470
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: appreciate the book. It's designed to help you understand how

471
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: on free speech or religious liberty or all these issues

472
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: that the landmark cases are almost all five four, that

473
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: we have four justices ready to take away our fundamental

474
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: liberties and one vacancy can make an enormous difference positive

475
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: or negative. Is Amy Coney Barrett the best possible choice

476
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: to fill the open Supreme Court seat? Now? In your estimation,

477
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: think she's a very strong choice. You look at her record.

478
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: She has impeccable credentials. She graduated number one hundred class

479
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 1: from Notre Dame Law School. She was a law clerk

480
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: to Justice Anton and Scalia, the Great Justice Scalia. She

481
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: spent twenty years as a law professor at Notre Dame.

482
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: She is now one of the most respected federal appellate

483
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: judges in the country. And I think the President, in

484
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: making this nomination, was following through on his promise to

485
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: the American people to nominate constitutionalists and to nominate judges

486
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: in the mold of Scalia or Thomas. And I think

487
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: the Senate we will confirm Judge Barrett. I believe, and

488
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: we will do so before election day. I'm leading the

489
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: fight in the Senate to make that happen, and I

490
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: think when we do so, we will be delivering on

491
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: our promise to confirm strong, principled constitutionalists who will defend

492
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights. We're speaking to Senator Ted Cruz

493
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: from Texas. His new book comes out this week, One

494
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: Vote Away, How a single Supreme Court seat can change History.

495
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: Senator Cruz, is there a mechanism, a procedural trick, anything

496
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: that concerns you that your Democrat colleagues in the Senate

497
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: may try to pull at this stage? Is there anything

498
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: we need to be aware of, because the shrill hysterics

499
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: around the alleged illegitimacy of this nomination to seem to

500
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: show us that they'll just say things that are flatly untrue.

501
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: So people are worried about whether they're willing to do

502
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: things that are flatly unprincipled. Yeah. Look, I think that's right.

503
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: I think even before this vacancy, the Democrats and the

504
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: hard left, they were losing their minds. They hate President

505
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: Trump with it with an all consuming rage. And once

506
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: this vacancy occurred, to quote the movie's spinal tap, suddenly

507
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: it went to eleven. I mean, I mean they are

508
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 1: beside themselves. We will begin hearings on Judge Barrett on

509
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: October twelfth, and I fully expect Democrats to light their

510
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: hair on fire, to do everything they can to turn

511
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: it into a circus, likely every bit as disgracefully as

512
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: they did with Justice Kavanaugh, where they went after him personally,

513
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: they smeared him, they slimed his family. I think they,

514
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: if they can, they will try to do the same

515
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: thing to Judge Barrett. We saw some of this when

516
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: when she was nominated at the Court of Appeals, where

517
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: they attacked her and demonized her because of her faith.

518
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: She's a Catholic. And Senator Feinstein put it this way

519
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: about Judge Barrett. She said, the dogma lives loudly in

520
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: this one and the position of a lot of Democrats

521
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: seem to be that if you're a person of faith,

522
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: if you're Catholic, if you're evangelical, that that you cannot

523
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: serve as a judge, and you can't serve in any

524
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: public office. Now, of course, the Constitution prohibits a religious

525
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: test for any public office, but today's Democrats have a

526
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: real deep antipathy and animosity for people of faith. That

527
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: being said, I think they will try every antic that

528
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 1: they can, including Pelosi is threatening possibly trying to impeach

529
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: the president again. And if Democrats all stand together in

530
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: the House, they could vote out articles of impeachment again.

531
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: Even if they do that, it's not going to prevent

532
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: this confirmation. If they engage in such a wildly partisan stunt,

533
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm confident we have the votes in the Senate to

534
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: disregard their partisan antics and to deliver on our constitutional

535
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: responsibility to confirm this justice. How concerned are you, Senator

536
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: about the possibility of either a Biden administration Heaven forbid

537
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: from my perspective, but it could happen, or whomever the

538
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: next Democrat president may be, and there will be one

539
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: at some point. We know that much packing the court.

540
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: This gets a lot of discussion now because Democrats are

541
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: openly threatening to do that. Is that a realistic threat

542
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: from your perspective? Unfortunately, I think it is. Today's Democratic

543
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: Party has really been radicalized, where there were a lot

544
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: of positions that even a few years ago they would

545
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: never have embraced. A few years ago, most Democrats said

546
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: they weren't socialists. Now just about all of them agree

547
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: with Bernie Sanders and AOC and that's who's sending their agenda.

548
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: Even a few months ago, most Democrats would have laughed

549
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: at the prospect of abolishing or defunding the police. Now

550
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: that is the mainstream position of today's Democratic Party. And

551
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to packing the court, so a democratic

552
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: president has tried that before. FDR tried that, and even

553
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: though he had massive Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress,

554
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: his own party resisted him. His own party said, now,

555
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: we're not going to politicize the court. What's changed, unfortunately,

556
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: is I don't think the Democrats would resist a Joe Biden.

557
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: Certainly a Chuck Schumer or a Nancy Pelosi is not

558
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: going to resist to Joe Biden when it comes to

559
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: packing the court. They threatened to take the court from

560
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: nine justices to eleven to thirteen who knows how many

561
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: they would they would put up there, And it really

562
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: it underscores the stakes of this election that it is

563
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: critically important that President Trump be reelected. I'm fighting hard

564
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: for him to be re elected. It's critically important that

565
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: we maintain a Republican majority in the Senate and that

566
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: we retake the House, because if God forbid, we wake

567
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: up in January and it is Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, I

568
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: think they'll do more damage in two years than Barack

569
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: Obama didn't eate. And would the philibuster also be one

570
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: of those casualties in your opinion, based upon that scenario

571
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 1: you just gave us, I do believe it would. I

572
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: think every Democrat would end the filibuster, which means, if

573
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: they have a narrow Senate majority, the filibuster which is

574
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: the most potent tool to stop to stop whoever has

575
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: the Senate majority from just running over the minority. I

576
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: believe the Democrats would would eliminate the filibuster, and I

577
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: don't think there's any dissension on their party. I think

578
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: they would act early on to try to cement their majority.

579
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: So one of the things I think they would do

580
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: also is expand the United States and add two new states,

581
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: add the District of Columbia, and add Puerto Rico. And

582
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: the reason they would do that is Democrats believe those

583
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: two places would elect four new Democratic senators. So if

584
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: we started January of twenty twenty one with fifty Democrats

585
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: and the vice president, we could end twenty twenty one

586
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: with fifty four Democratic senators. And I think they will.

587
00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: They will try to institutionalize their power because the right now,

588
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: the zealots, the extreme is who's driving driving the Democratic Party.

589
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,080

603
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: illegal means, because taxes are protected documents. But New York

604
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: Times big story on Sunday, Oh, look at Trump's taxes.

605
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: We went through them, we talked to sources with knowledge

606
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: of them, YadA, YadA, YadA. And the big takeaways are

607
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be the Trump in one year paid seven

608
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars dollars total it income taxes, that

609
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: he did big write offs for losses over many, many years,

610
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: and that he has some large liabilities financial liabilities, but

611
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: also has a lot of assets and a lot of

612
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: income streams. And they just went they just went deep

613
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: diving into his finances. And their takeaway from this, of course,

614
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: is that it's an enormous bombshell, huge story. Oh my gosh,

615
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria, Brad Stouter of

616
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: seats like it's like super important play three. Obviously this

617
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: has the potential to change the race. How explosive is this.

618
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: Americans are already voting in some states, and most Americans'

619
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: minds are already made up. But I know this is

620
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: one of the most important stories in the past five years.

621
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: Not one of the most important stories of this year,

622
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: but one of them those important stories of the past

623
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: five years, because as a candidate, Donald Trump fought hard

624
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: to shield his tax returns, and as president he has

625
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: fought even harder to shield his tax returns from public scrutiny.

626
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: So this is the kind of information that we are

627
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: going to be hearing about for days and weeks to come,

628
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: and including on the debate stage in front of sixty

629
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: seventy eighty million people on Tuesday Night. Two things that

630
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: Democrats just really don't understand about the right and Republicans

631
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: right now. Number one is that what they did to

632
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh was like injecting political steroids into millions of conservatives.

633
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: I've said that before. It's important, and that's why they're

634
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: a little bit caught off guard here with the whole

635
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: Amy Coney Barrett thing. We want this done. There's no moderation,

636
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: there's let's sit down with the other side and have

637
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: a nice, long, sweet talk about this thing. No, we

638
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: have the votes, let's get it done. No offans or butts,

639
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: no slowdowns, no games. And the other thing that the

640
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: Democrats don't really understand about the right is that we're

641
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 1: at a point and have been for a while, where

642
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: we just laugh at their bombshell walls closing in on

643
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: Trump stories. I mean, they're hilarious, dumb and worthless. And

644
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: this was supposed to be their big thing for years.

645
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: For years, you have had journals acting like this was

646
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: the holy grail of investigative reporting, if they could just

647
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: find the Trump tax returns. Well, I'm glad that the

648
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: New York Times finally released this big story on Trump's taxes.

649
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: We can all confirm there's nothing there. And journals who've

650
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: been talking for years about walls closing in on Trump

651
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: because of his taxes are total morons. Glad we've established this.

652
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 1: I'm glad we have an understanding that this is what's

653
00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: actually going on. Now, what are they going to say,

654
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: because here's the problem. There's nothing illegal in there. There's

655
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: no And the New York Times actually says we didn't

656
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: find any covert connection to Russia and the tax returns.

657
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, as if any intelligent person would believe that

658
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: that was going to happen. Remember, the federal government has

659
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: had these tax returns all along, and they're already auditing

660
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: the president because of some of the very large deductions

661
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: he's taken, which is understanding. Look, if you take very

662
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: large deductions, that's going to get flagged and the IRS

663
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: is going to dig into that, and that's understandable. But

664
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: there's nothing here. There is nothing here. And so other

665
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: than yeah, the President has had very large income streams

666
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 1: and very large losses in different businesses and has taken

667
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: these right offs that you're allowed to do as a

668
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: business owner, as somebody that's that's involved in on the

669
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: corporate side, the ownership side of corporate America, and so

670
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: that has offset his taxes a lot, I mean almost

671
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: entirely in many years. But this is legal, and a

672
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: lot of us look at this and say, I pay

673
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: the apps. I'm gonna tell you this right now. I

674
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: pay the absolute bare minimum taxes that I can legally

675
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: get away with where I don't feel like I'd be

676
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: in a position where if somebody called me out on something,

677
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: I would say, I would say, oh, you got me,

678
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: I'd say no, this is why I took this deduction.

679
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: It was a good faith deduction, right, and I take

680
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: the absolute I'm always looking I talked to I've got

681
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: an accountant oh, he just retired. But I've got an accountant,

682
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: and you know, I try to go through things with him,

683
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: and I want to take the max because the government

684
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: takes too much money for me and I don't make

685
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: a lot of money. I'm not like some of these

686
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: other radio hosts that have, you know, lots of lots

687
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: of houses and stuff like that. I don't have a house,

688
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: ye all, I own one house. But it's not something

689
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: that I think anybody should be ashamed of, should feel

690
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: sheepish about. I think it makes a lot of sense.

691
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: You take the deductions you can, and you work within

692
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: the tax code that is mandated for you. You know,

693
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: if I had the option to just pay a flat

694
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: tax every year fifteen percent, I would do that. But

695
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't. But I don't. So they're trying to make

696
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: this into a big story, and part of that is

697
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: just now wild speculation about how you see, there's nothing

698
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: in there that makes anybody worried about Trumpers taxes. But

699
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: it's what they're saying now is that it's what's not

700
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: in the tax returns that's so damning. We need more

701
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: investigation of Trump's finances. And this is the liberals being

702
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: dishonest loons because Trump wasn't withholding his tax returns to

703
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: hide Russia ties. And now they want to move on

704
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: to the next conspiracy of the resistance, the hashtag resistance.

705
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: Here's a yamiche Alcindor I think is a PBS correspondent,

706
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, battles with Trump and the press conferences, and

707
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: she's taken this. This is now one of the new conspiracies.

708
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: You'll hear that the only reason Trump is running is

709
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: because if he doesn't win, he's going to go to

710
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: prison over his taxes. Play four. I think that the

711
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: line in this New York Times story that really underscores

712
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: what this all means. Apart from, of course, what you

713
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 1: say is the evading and the possible breaking of laws.

714
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: They said, ultimately President Trump might be better and more

715
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: successful playing a media mogul than actually being one. That

716
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: sentence stopped me dead in my tracks, because what it

717
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: tells us is that he has sold this idea of

718
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: himself as this businessman, as a successful person. They're critics

719
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: of President Trump who have said for a long time

720
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: that he was fighting so hard to be reelected, not

721
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: only because he wants to be re elected, but also

722
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: because he's worried that if he's not re elected, he

723
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: could actually face jail time and be carried off like

724
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: a lot of his personal associates, including its personal lawyer,

725
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: to his former campaign manager, and so on and so on.

726
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: So I think this story is a bombshell, and it's

727
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: a blockbuster. It's not a bombshell or a blockbuster unless

728
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: you're somebody who thinks that all the other stories about

729
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: Trump that have come out from the media in recent years,

730
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: including all the Russia collusion hoax bombshells, really had some

731
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: impact and people paid attention to who aren't already Trump haters.

732
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: And I think it's interesting that they note here that

733
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: that it is noted in this discussion that we'll look

734
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,919
Speaker 1: at some of the other people around the president. They've

735
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: ended up going after prison, right because they worked with

736
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: the president and because they came under tremendous scrutiny from

737
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: the federal government. And yes they were, you know, in

738
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: the case of Michael Cohen's scummy people, but they only

739
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: went after them because of their association with Trump. So

740
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: if they could get Trump, don't you think they would

741
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: have already if they had something on him, don't you

742
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: think we would have heard about it. I've been telling

743
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: you for years that what you'll find as a president

744
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: you know, has taken big deductions and might not have

745
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: as much liquid wealth as you know he said. I

746
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: think he said he's worth nine billion dollars or something

747
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 1: like that. I mean that depends on how you value

748
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: his brand. I can tell you this much. If he

749
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: just did a fire sale of everything, I don't think

750
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: the president have nine billion dollars, but he'd probably have

751
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: a billion or two. And guess what, He's got a

752
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: lot more experience, a knowledge of the business world, of economics,

753
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: and of how to make things work. And Joe Biden

754
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: does somehow you know, he's the Ultimately you look at

755
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: the results. He's the president. And a lot of these

756
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: other people that are sitting around talking about how he's

757
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: so bad at business, he's the president and he flies

758
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: around that a jet that he owns, two incredible properties

759
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: that he owns, and his world famous and has a

760
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: brand that's allowed his children and his children's children to

761
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: be very very wealthy and well known. But we're all

762
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna pretend like what he's a big loser is that?

763
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: Is that what the story is now? He's not really good.

764
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: He's not good at business, He's not good at these things.

765
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: Is he also not good at politics? Because he came

766
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 1: in and roundhouse kicked the Democrat establishment in the face

767
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: and knocked it out. So is it? Well, what really

768
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: is the case? He's not cheating on his taxes, He's

769
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: not good at business. No, it's just all these different

770
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: variations of why Trump is so bad. It's this is

771
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: just Orange man bad. The taxes chapter the same thing.

772
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: It was boring. I read the whole piece, the New

773
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: York Times piece yesterday when it came out, and I

774
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: was looking for something that was going to really go, oh,

775
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: that doesn't look good. All right. So some of the

776
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: businesses lose money, some of them make money. The tax

777
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: code is written so that people are willing to take

778
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: risks and build things that then employ people and that

779
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: pay Social Security and Medicare taxes and all that. You know,

780
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,959
Speaker 1: we're just talking about income tax at Trump personally, there's

781
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: a lot of taxations going on. There's taxes on every Hamburger,

782
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: soul in the Trump hotel. Trust me, I know they're expensive.

783
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on here. But all they want

784
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 1: to do is tear them down, and so they're convinced

785
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: before they even see the taxes, that the walls are

786
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: in and this is the end for Trump. No, it's not.

787
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: It's really pathetic. It's unsettling how crazy these people are.

788
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: This is the best of Buck Daily podcast, the top

789
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,200

Speaker 1: to subscribe to the podcast seven hundred and fifty dollars.

792
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: It hurts, that does resident. And it's also you know,

793
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: four years ago we talked about being able to avoid

794
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: paying taxes legally avoid you know, dealing with the tax laws,

795
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: being so brilliant that we figure out how to pay

796
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: you a lower tax rate. But this is not just avoiding.

797
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: What is being seen in this reporting is avoiding, evading,

798
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: perhaps robbing and cheating. We'll see. Yeah, look again, it's

799
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: one thing Amazon pay zero in taxes. That's a real problem.

800
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: We have to reform our tax cosure. It's broken. And

801
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: yet every time we try to reform the tax code,

802
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: the Libs go no, no, no, no, no, we don't

803
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: We don't want to make it all easy and one

804
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: page and very straightforward, because the rich libs want to

805
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: keep all their deductions, and they're but they want to

806
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: pretend like they think that paying taxes is patriotic, but

807
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: they don't want to pay time. They want you to

808
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: pay taxes. That's the whole game. That's that's the the

809
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 1: entire Cohn as you see it here, perhaps robbing and cheating.

810
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: Mika Brzynski says, no, that would then mean that he's

811
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: given to the irs the means to actually go after

812
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: him criminally, which is not what's happening here. Anyone who

813
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: looks at this and any expert worthy of the of

814
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: the of the term who sees what's in this, Remember

815
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: this is not even it's not like they published the

816
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: tax returns. This is the New York Times. And the

817
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: president says that they're all full of crap. I mean,

818
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: he might be a little bit. You might be you know,

819
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: a little excessive and saying they're totally full of crap.

820
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm assuming they probably have someone who

821
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: leaked the tax returns to him. Okay, I don't think

822
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: they're completely making this up wholesale, but he's saying it's

823
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: it's garbage. We can't know how much of it is garbage,

824
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: but there's nothing in here. That's a problem. It's also boring, right,

825
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: It's also who cares? What do they want? In what world?

826
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: Let's take this, take a different approach to this. What

827
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 1: would have to be in those tax returns for them

828
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: to not attack Donald Trump and his tax runs. Well,

829
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: let's take an example Mitt Romney. The Democrats, as you know,

830
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 1: Harry Reid famously said on the floor of the Senate,

831
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 1: so he could not be in any way legally liable

832
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 1: for this, he said Mitt Romney hadn't paid taxes in

833
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: ten years. That was a lie. Romney had paid a

834
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: lot of taxes. I'd say what you will about the guy,

835
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: and I've said a lot. He is rich and he

836
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: didn't make a lot of money. But Mit Romney was

837
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: paying taxes. That was a cop. And then later on,

838
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: when Harry Reid was asked about this, his response was, well,

839
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: he didn't win, did he. It's just a slime smear,

840
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: that's all. It was character assassination. And that was Mitt Romney,

841
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: who I think is a very by the book, by

842
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: the letter kind of guy. I mean, he's sort of

843
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: a grown up Hall monitor type. And he even found

844
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,839
Speaker 1: himself attacked on taxes you know, John Kerry in two

845
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: thousand and four paid something like eleven percent or some

846
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: just pitiful tax rate on unearned income on effectively passive

847
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: income of the assets that his wife owns. Beau, his

848
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: wife married a very wealthy man and then John Kerry

849
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 1: married her. So you know, he paid very very low taxes.

850
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: When so when he's taken the million dollars yacht to

851
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: the multimillion dollar house in the Vineyards, leaving the multimillion

852
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: dollar mansion on Beacon Hill in Boston, I mean not

853
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: paying a lot of taxes. I think John Kerry also

854
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: even moved his boat anchorage so that he could pay

855
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: less taxes. I mean, one thing you'll find is that

856
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 1: even very wealthy people, people that have no realistic concern

857
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: about ever running out of money or not being able

858
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: to live a very fancy lifestyle, even very wealthy people

859
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: can be very cheap. I've seen this a lot. In fact,

860
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: some of the richest people that I know are fixated

861
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: on money. But maybe that's a conversation for another time.

862
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: I just think that this this story on the Trump taxes,

863
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: it's boring and nobody cares, and they can try to

864
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 1: pretend that everybody cares, But ultimately it's boring and nobody

865
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: really cares except for the journos who have been chomping

866
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: at the bit for years on this thing. And all

867
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: along I've been saying, guys, the irs already has it.

868
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: You you who listen to the show. No, I've never

869
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: I was never, never worried about Trump's taxes and what

870
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: it would mean for him, because I'm like, the Irs

871
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: already has it. They already have the taxes, So what

872
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: are we even talking about here? Well, he's gonna have

873
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: a from Pultado. It's very good, the Trump who's giving

874
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: me all the things need for a stealing election. The

875
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: one million dollar Trump ruled the Chick. No, I don't

876
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: think that's what's gonna happen. I don't think the president

877
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: had some note. Dear Trump, he is lad, I love you,

878
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: big smoochy SMUOCHI here a billion dollars. I don't think

879
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: that that's a thing, although maybe we should make it

880
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: a thing, be kind of a fun sketch. But but

881
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: but Trumpy, I miss you, come back for snuggles with Vlad. Right, Like,

882
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: that wasn't gonna exist. That wasn't going to be a thing.

883
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: That actually happened, but they believed for some reason. Are

884
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: they convinced themselves that it was going to happen. It's

885
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: really pretty stunning. Um by the way, speaking of rich

886
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: people don't care about other people, but pretend to Pelosi,

887
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: who is really my favorite example of that. I is

888
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: saying that now she is hoping for another another COVID

889
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: stimulus bill. Oh so you mean she wants to demogogue

890
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: the issue for the weeks leading up to the election

891
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: because the Republicans wanted money to go out to people

892
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: who are unemployed because of government policy. Pelosi's not okay

893
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: with that. Not enough money. She says, She's going to

894
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: get you more. To just keep waiting, watch your bank

895
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: account get drained down, watch your business get closer and

896
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 1: closer to forever closure. And but Nancy wants you to

897
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 1: know that she's going to do something for you, probably

898
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: after the election though, right, because this isn't political. No,

899
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: Nancy's never doing that. Play eight. I'm sorry. Nine. I've

900
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: been willing to come below three point four trillion dollars.

901
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: We have come all the way down. So I don't

902
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: know why the press decides that this equivalent for me

903
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: to come down further, while they're not going up any further.

904
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: So we are having our conversations. When I have to

905
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: have a conversation with the administration, it is in good faith.

906
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: I trust Secretary Manuchin to represent something that can reach

907
00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:00,240
Speaker 1: a solution, and I believe we can come to an agreement. However,

908
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: at some point the public is going to have to

909
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: see why two point two or now two point four,

910
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: perhaps trillion dollars is necessary, because because the president's denial

911
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: of the virus and just resistance to doing anything to

912
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: crush it has made matters worse in so many ways.

913
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: The president's denial of the virus and resistance to do

914
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 1: anything to crush it. These they'll say anything, folks, they'll

915
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:35,359

922
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 1: hold on, you're as for too much money. If you're

923
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: outrageous with the demands, it doesn't matter if you come

924
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 1: down a little bit from your outrageous demand. Right if

925
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: if I showed up, if if your house is worth

926
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,759

931
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,760

932
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: want to throw something at me, and you'd be right

933
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,360
