WEBVTT - Can Mini Mike Buy the Presidency? 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:15.360 You are entering the freedom hunt. Crazy libs want Attorney 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:20.360 General bar to resign. Plus, why is the whistleblower's name 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.480 being censored from YouTube? What's going on with Minnie Mike Bloomberg? 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.840 Can he buy the presidency? And should you recline your 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.520 seat on an airplane? Or is that just uncivilized? Coming up? 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.720 This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.920 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.680 Make no mistake American. Let me bring you're a great 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:51.040 American again. The Buck Sexton Show begins analyst. He's a 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:56.120 great guy now, But I tell you what people were 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:02.200 hurting viciously and badly by these corrupt people. And I 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.280 want to thank if you look at what happened. I 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.560 want to thank the Justice Department for seeing this horrible thing. 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.039 And I didn't speak to him, by the way, just 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.559 so you understand, they saw the horribleness of a nine 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.399 year sentence for doing nothing. You have murders and drug addicts. 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:22.280 They'll get nine years, nine years for doing something that 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.080 nobody even can define what he did. The Germany said 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.880 he put out a tweet, and the tweet you're based 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.160 on that we have killers We have murders all over 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.840 the place, nothing happens, and then they put a man 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.959 in jail and destroy his life, his family, his wife, 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:42.080 his children, nine years in jail. It's a disgrace. In 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.720 the meantime, Komey walks around making book deals. The people 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.160 that launched the scam investigation and what they did is 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.680 a disgrace and hopefully it'll be treated fairly. Everything else 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.640 would be treated him. Welcome to the buck Section show 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.880 the President and Fuego telling the truth about what has 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.240 really been going on here. Let's just step back for 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.880 a moment before I dig into the details of the 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:11.240 Rogerstone sentencing issue and how there's more unfairness there than 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.760 you've probably even heard of yet. How are we supposed 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.160 to feel about a justice system in this country that 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:24.960 somehow allowed for the investigation of a presidential campaign using 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:31.079 highly sensitive counter espionage tools at the very top reaches 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.959 of the federal law enforcement and intelligence bureaucracy, to lie 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:40.160 about that investigation, to continue it, as we know they 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:44.800 did with the Fizer renewals on carter Page, to use 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:49.320 fake information which we know the dossier is paid for 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:54.600 by an opposition political campaign, the Hillary Clinton DNC using 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.480 foreign sources, that we're probably running what the Russians called 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:03.320 disinvormatzia disinformation. How is it that the only people in 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:08.920 this process when you stretch out Russia collusion, this great conspiracy, 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:13.160 the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, and the scandal 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.640 is in the other guys were wrong all along. The 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.480 other guys, the Democrats, the anti Trumpers, they got the 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.600 whole thing wrong. They lied, cheated, and stole whatever they 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.200 had to do to keep this thing going. They thought 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.280 they were going to topple a presidency with this, It's 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.640 gonna be Watergate. But they're the burglars in this tale. 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.920 They don't yet recognize that that's the way history will 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.720 view them, although we always know the Libs like to 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:41.720 rewrite history. That's what's going on here. And the only people, 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.160 somehow in all of us who get in trouble, the 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.760 only individuals who find themselves on the wrong side of 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:54.520 a federal prosecutor in all this are Republicans, people close 0:03:54.560 --> 0:04:00.680 to Trump. That's it. Coomy, no charges, McCabe, light under 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.280 oath as black and white. A criminal issue is you're 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.880 going to find anywhere Roger Stone's in trouble for lying 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.960 to Congress. McCabe led under oath, same principle, same kind 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.360 of law. CABE's not going to prison. As a former 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:18.640 acting FBI director of Friends, Peter Struck fired no charges 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.239 against him, no official misconduct. They could they could absolutely 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.640 slam that guy with an official misconduct charge. And keep 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:29.320 in mind the left sometimes pushes prosecutions for political reasons 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.479 that they know they can't win. But to prosecute is 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:36.040 to attack. To prosecute is to destroy, maybe not fully, 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.240 because you may not get the verdict you want, as 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.400 we just saw with the Democrat Congress going after Donald Trump, 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.160 but it was still an assault. It was still an 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.520 ongoing ambush trying to slow down, trying to harm this presidency. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.920 So then you have to ask yourself, huh, why is 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.520 it that on our side we only prosecute if we 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.680 know there's no escape. For the other side, there's no 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.320 way they'd be able to mount any kind of successful defense. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.440 And even then sometimes we back away from it because 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.719 on the right we like to think that we show 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.680 good faith and there are bigger considerations sometimes than punishing 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.480 wrongdoers who are Democrats. I don't know why we continue 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.920 to live in that fantasy lend, but we do on 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.800 the right, we don't seem to really ever prosecute. To 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.720 keep in mind, there's nothing stopping I know that this 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.039 is going to sound crazy to people, but I am correct. 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:31.080 There's nothing stopping the Department of Justice from reopening the 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.120 Hillary Clinton email case if they wanted to. I mean, 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.080 there's nothing statutorially that prevents them from doing that. They 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.200 certainly could have done it over the last three years. 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:45.280 But we don't do that. Why Because we're Republicans, we're conservatives. 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.400 We want the country to continue functioning. We don't want 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.239 to rip it apart at the seams. Whether you agree 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.800 with this or not, I'm just saying this is the mentality. Meanwhile, 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.880 the left is like, hey, can we lie and get 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.560 stuff into a FISA application to mic up somebody who 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.719 touches on the Trump campaign. Maybe see if there's anybody 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.320 else talking to someone else that we can look at 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:11.400 their emails too. Shameless, shameless, unrepentant. To this day, they 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.680 act like that was all justified. They spied on a 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:19.280 presidential campaign. They keep saying that Attorney General bar is 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.640 Trump's hatchet man. He's a bad guy. Attorney General bar 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.120 was already the attorney general under the George HW. Bush administration. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.760 He's already had this job. Was anyone saying that he was, Oh, 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:34.000 he was a total you know, a bad man for 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.400 Bush then, and he can't be trusted and he's corrupt 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:41.240 and he's been bought and all this stuff. No, but 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:46.039 suddenly he's just Trump's lackey and has no credibility. They've 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.200 tried to say he's dumb, which is hilarious. He's a 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.240 better lawyer than every psycho lib lawyer they've put forward 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.279 to make cases against Trump, whether it's impeachment or Russia collusion. 0:06:54.560 --> 0:07:00.000 He'd crush any of them in open debate. But yeah, 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.480 they also didn't realize that he was the head of 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.919 the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice, 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.839 which makes policy for the rest of the Department of Justice. 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.279 That was before he was Attorney general. You cannot get 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.280 more gold standard for a government legal resume than the 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.520 city attorney General does not exist. You know what Eric 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.400 Holder was most famous for it before he became Attorney general, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:25.240 overseeing the disgraceful but legal pardon of Democrat financier Mark 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.520 Rich who was doing business with Iran when it was 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:29.840 or was it Libya. I think it was a Ron 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.560 or Libya, one of those two countries when it was 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.440 under sanction and fled the country, never faced justice, but 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.640 his super rich wife wrote big checks to Democrats, so 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.720 he basically bought a pardon. Eric Holder signed off on that. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.200 Even Eric Holder today says, yeah, that was pretty gross. 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.560 So that was Obama's attorney general for most of his term. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.240 And then you had Lauretta Lynch, who, as we know, 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:58.960 just had the fortuitous circumstance of right before the decision 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.080 was going to be made about what was going to 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.840 happen to then Democrat nominee for the president and expected 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.520 next president in the United States, Hillary Clinton, would she 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.840 faced criminal charges, by the way, any criminal charge of 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.000 any kind would have sunk her presidential hopes. We know 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.360 that didn't have to go to prison for decades. Even 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.200 if she took a guilty plea, she probably would have 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.840 been done and no jail time probation. I've said you, 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:22.800 I'm honest. Everyone else is, oh, she'd go to prison 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.320 forever for the Espionage Act. That's not true. But she 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.400 should have had to take a guilty plea for mishandling 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.680 classified and probably get, you know, a six month suspended 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.600 sentence and probation. But she should have had to take 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:38.559 a criminal charge for mishandling classified. That's reality. But we're 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.840 supposed to believe that Loretta Lynch had a meeting on 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.680 a tarmac with Bill Clinton, that their private planes just 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.679 happened to line up on a lot of airports, a 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.680 lot of planes in the sky, right before the determination 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.480 is going to be made, right before Cam goes forward 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:55.719 and gives his speech. Yeah, uh, Democrats must think we're 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.439 all really stupid, don't they Like, we can't figure out 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.079 what's going on here? My friends, this is all absurd, 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.800 and we know that we understand that we see what's 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:09.440 going on here. They keep playing dirty and then accusing 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.120 us of playing dirty when the biggest problem that we 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.599 have when it comes to the justice system as conservatives, 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:19.080 as Trump supporters is we still have principles, and that 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.400 means that we don't have the same latitude of operation 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.640 that the other side does. They'll just do whatever, no, 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.480 it doesn't matter how blatant is. And that now brings 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.800 me to this Roger Stone issue, and we might have 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.880 my friend Annie McCarthy on to fill in some of 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.480 the some of the blanks on this one. Tomorrow give 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.040 us a little bit more of his analysis. I mean, 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.760 you know, he's always he's somebody who is fair to 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.360 this system but also sees things for what they are. 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.679 You know, he believes in the system. He believes in 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.800 the doj I'm I'm getting closer and closer to just like, 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.880 just tear it, just tear it down and start fresh, 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.360 you know, nuke the planet from orbit. It's the only 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.760 way to be the only way to be sure what 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:58.640 movie producer brand And by the way, I got producer 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.960 branded in today. For a producer, our producer market has 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:02.760 to take a couple of personal days. Do you know 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.199 a movie? Oh, he didn't even hear. Don't worry about that. 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.480 Don't wry about that. You can interrupt the flow of 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.400 the monologue. Now, producer bread that. It's fine, don't worry 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.880 about it. We'll ask you things later. It is Aliens 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.080 for those of you who did not know, but I'm 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:16.880 sure most of you knew. Great movie. By the way 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.920 I get into arguments is whether Aliens a better movie 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.000 than T two? With people that are James Cameron fans, 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:27.000 it's a conversation for another time you're in the Freedom Hunt. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:33.960 This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. So now 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:38.320 we're at the stage of what happened with the Rogerstone 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:44.240 the Rogerstone sentencing. Now, the guidelines that were given, the 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.240 guidelines that were given by the federal prosecutors were technically allowed, 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.920 but it also was very clear that they took the 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:55.800 most negative interpretation possible and applied the most negative interpretation 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.160 to get the you know, a very extreme end of 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.320 the range. Now that judge is the one who determines, 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.800 not the prosecutors. The federal judge presiding over the case 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.440 determines what the actual sentence would be. But I do 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.560 think that it's I've been very clear about this. It 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.120 is absurd. I don't even care what the guidelines say. 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.400 I don't care what the statutes say that Roger Stone 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.760 could even theoretically go to prison for nine years federal prison. 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.240 By the way, no parole, you serve the sentence you 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.319 get in federal prison. People have always forget that. They're like, oh, 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:25.720 well they'll be out and no, no, no. If you 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.560 get five years in federal prison, you go to federal 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.640 prison for five years. It's not like state prisons where 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.320 you know, you can get a seven year sentence, and 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:34.920 you know, with two years could behavior all of a 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:40.240 sudden you're walking around the street. The reality is that 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:44.480 it's it's an affront to our conscience. That Stone, who 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.720 you guys all know, I think is a pretty entertaining character. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.480 I've talked to him a bunch of times. He's very amusing. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:54.640 He's fund to exchange startorial tips with him. But Stone 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.560 is I asked him once if you if you need 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.000 to wear a belt with a suit, and he said, 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.800 absolutely are what are we sat? Iages you must wear 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.600 a belt with a suit. You know, It's like, oh yes, sir, 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.120 of course. I thought you could kind of get away 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.600 with no belt with the suit. But Roger Stone set 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.160 me straight. Set me straight a long time ago on 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.800 that one. So Rogers facing nine years in federal prison 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.360 according to whatever the well, based on what the judge 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.520 decides to do with it. And people get upset about this. 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:25.080 Trump tweets about it, and now he's been very public. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:26.840 We started out the show with him saying the DJ 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.480 did the right thing by saying, okay, that's this was crazy. 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.440 The perception here does matter, the perception of whether Stone 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.480 is being treated fairly matters. And you have to also 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:43.440 remember in this whole process that there is the left 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:47.959 and the anti trumpers are invested in as many prosecutions 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:49.920 and as long a sentence as they can get for 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.800 two reasons. One spite, if you work for Trump, if 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.960 you're near Trump, they hate you, and that's the main reason. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.160 But the second reason is that then they do this 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.760 thing you've seen the Mattaw's show on MSNBC on c AU. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.120 They'll have people that'll just rack and stack all the 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.640 criminal prosecutions. This became a big talking point, Oh, look 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.360 at all the criminal prosecutions out of the Russia collusion probe, 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.400 as though that justifies that the probe was all based 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.440 in a lie. The probe was a farce, The probe 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:23.120 was wrong. It never should have happened. Without the dossier, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.880 they don't even get to the probe stage. But they 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.200 rack up all these different names of people that are 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.360 going to prison for line to investigators and some form 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:36.920 of personal financial fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, etc. But 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.000 it has nothing to do with Russia collusion. So they 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:45.199 want yet another person, oh, Trump associate Roger Stone linked 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.839 to the Russia collusion that didn't happen linked to the 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:52.720 Russia collusion case, gets you know, six years, seven years 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.520 whatever it is in federal prison. See, we were right 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.600 all along to be doing that investigation. No, they're they're 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:04.880 fined process crimes and relentlessly hounding people, ruining them, bankrupting 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:09.240 them because Libs have completely lost their minds. So that's 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.560 a big part of this. And then when you see 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.320 the federal prosecutors who pulled the Sally Yates maneuver. Oh, 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:19.800 I'm I'm leaving the government because I'm so ethical. Give 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.000 me a CNN contract. I want to go work for MSNBC. 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.360 I mean, this is what they do now. Oh Trump 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:28.280 is such a monster. Where's my book deal? This is 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.160 what the hashtag resistance does. This is how they conduct themselves. 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.040 We all know this. But you have these prosecutors who 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.920 have all well, they've they've resigned from the case. I 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:38.800 think a few of them have resigned entirely from the DOJ. 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.320 So some of them have resigned from the DOJ. And 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.680 you look at their resumes and these are people who, 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.960 first of all, and I note this, three of the 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.880 four I think clerked for Supreme Court judges. Guess which 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:54.720 Supreme Court judges. They clerked for huge libs Stevens suitor 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.240 yoh yeah, oh yeah, big big surprise there, right, no 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:03.280 Scalia clerking going on, no Thomas clerking on the resume. Nope, 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.080 they clerked for big libs. We know they're huge libs. 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.760 One of them was a senior DJ appointing under the 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:13.600 Obama administration. Another one was very involved in prosecuting the 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.720 Muller was part of the Muller pro part of the 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.800 Muller team, and one of them was involved with going 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.600 after Papadopolis. Essentially oversaw that, Yeah, that's really that. That 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.680 was justice send Papadopolis to fourteen days in prison for 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.080 lying about something that he might have misremembered and that 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.280 meant nothing. That seems fair, right. That's that's what the 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.960 left does. They've convinced themselves that they're the good guys, 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.640 and whoever they can destroy on the other side, that's justified. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.240 That's why. Yeah, is Trump is Trump kind of you know, 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.600 talking out of turn here a little bit on the DOJ. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.400 Shouldn't do this, Yeah, But all the people that are 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:50.120 crying to you right now about how Trump shouldn't speak 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:54.040 about the DOJ and he's he's affecting the impartiality of 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.280 the institution and that this is so wrong, and all 0:15:56.320 --> 0:16:00.480 those other all of those people, you should ask the question, 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:05.560 where were they when Obama said on National TV that 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.960 Hillary didn't didn't actually endanger national security with her emails. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.280 She didn't mean to do it, and basically she didn't 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.400 do anything wrong. There's nothing to see here. His Department 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.160 of Justice was then investigating a case of a Secretary 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.760 of State who was sending highly classified and including Special 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:26.160 Access program data on an open email server, not a 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.080 classified server. Any other person who's work in the government 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.440 would tell you this would be you would assume you're 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.240 gonna you You're gonna end up in federal prison for 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.720 a while if you did this. But she was Secretary 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.400 of State and the Democrats needed her to try to 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.240 win the presidency. So Obama can speak out about that, 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:44.520 and that's fine. Why is that fine? Oh, because he's 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.080 Obama and because they're Democrats, and because they have no principles, 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.480 they only have double standards. Okay, I'm glad that we 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.880 can establish that right away, because the people that are 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.640 all upset now about Trump's saying that the dj needed 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.760 to reiin this thing in they were not upset when 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.560 the Obama administration, in fact President Obama himself publicly weighed 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.240 in on how there should be no charges against Hillary Clinton. 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:10.240 You could call that undue election interference, couldn't you. Well, 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:11.840 this is where this is where we are. And so 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:16.359 now they've created yet they need another outrage story because 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.400 they're done with Rush a collusion right now, they're trying 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.439 to find how to resurrect it. Acquittal in the Senate trial. 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.560 Then they didn't remove Trump from office. Impeachment helped Trump, 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:27.800 you know, the idiots and the Democrats side I thought 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:29.119 that was going to ruin him. Didn't know what they 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.760 were talking about. So now what they do, Oh, they 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.680 got to remove bar The Department of Justice is under 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:38.200 so much assault. Can't handle the strain from a guy 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:43.080 who is a gold standard d J longtimer who just 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.680 happens to be hated by the left. In Attorney General 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:51.000 bar hated, viciously despised by the Democrats and the left 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.159 because he knows this game. They can't scare him and 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.840 he's not going to back down. The could you imagine, 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.600 by the way, if I'm just gonna say, if we 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.560 had if you would have had Attorney General Bar instead 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.040 of Jeff Sessions. And I do not dislike Jeff Sessions. 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.400 He's a nice man, and I think he's an honorable guy. 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.000 He's just not a fighter. He's just not a street fighter, 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:12.919 you know. You know, let's say about people you got, 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:14.679 like a friend who you know, say he's a lover, 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:16.760 not a fighter, and just means he's not the guy 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:18.800 you wanted. You're back in a bar when things get ugly. 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.239 You know, Sessions is a nice guy. If Barr had 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.879 been Trump's Attorney general from from day one, there wouldn't 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.880 have been a Russia collusion probe wouldn't have happened. There 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.440 would have been it would have been an investigation of 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.560 Russian online in or you know, online propaganda efforts in 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.880 an interference. Sure wouldn't have been this whole Trump collusion 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.600 lie on all the obstruction garbage piled on top of it. 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:46.040 So personnel, personnel is policy. People say personnel mattered. Trump's 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:47.760 gotten a few of the right ones in the in 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.240 the right places now, but took way too long to 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:56.479 get there. You're in the freedom hud. This is the 0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:03.439 Buck Sexton Show podcast. Last night, I think I said 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:05.600 on air that you know, the Washington Post says democracy 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.360 dies in darkness. It actually doesn't. It dies some television. 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.760 It dies right under the lights of you know, the 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:16.119 bright of day. Um. I mean, this is an institutions 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.320 and justice that's right and with people not doing something. 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:23.040 And understand, right now we should all be called for 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:27.040 the Attorney General to resign. What bar has done should 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.600 mean that we are demanding a resignation and if that 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:33.880 guy won't resign, then the House should start impeachment proceedings 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:39.440 against him. Impeach Bar. Oh, here we go. What did 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.159 I folk? What did I tell you? You You know, I 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.320 W've been saying all week, they're looking they're looking for 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:50.040 another They're looking for another removal proceeding, another weaponization of 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:55.840 the process. And here we are, here, we are now 0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:00.560 with them doing what they do, which is to say, 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:07.080 they've come up with some looney tunes explanation of why 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.280 the Attorney General of the United States needs to be 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:14.560 removed from office. They've decided that the Attorney General here 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.200 is a guy that they should go and have a 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:22.920 you know, have a removal proceeding with the House calling witnesses. 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.920 The whole thing. The whole thing all because any distraction 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:30.080 from the disarray of the Democratic Party right now is 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:34.760 a good thing. Any distraction from what the Democrats are 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:38.520 really trying to do and trying to accomplish in terms 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:40.840 of the people they have running for elected office, that's 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:44.159 just that's great. They should be very happy about that. 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:48.160 They should be very very pleased because they don't really 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.359 have that. They want just the Democrat primary voters to 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:53.159 be figuring this thing out while the rest of the 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:57.760 country swing voters independents are focused on the removed. By 0:20:57.800 --> 0:20:59.320 the way, this is not going to happen. I mean, 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.639 this is ridiculous, and I would just note that it 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.680 would be entertaining to watch them try to explain why 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:07.760 Attorney General bar should be removed, because he's just going 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:11.879 to say, I didn't I didn't make this. You know, 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.720 I didn't violate any law. What's I didn't violate any 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:18.600 any DJ policy. The president spouts off, that's not my problem, 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.680 but why you're going to remove the attorney general, and 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.040 that they would claim that you have Democrats now saying 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.719 that you should have Attorney General bar consider removing himself, 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:35.520 but you you did not have the even recusal, never 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:39.560 mind removal proceedings initiated against Lauretta Lynch just goes to 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.040 show you that this is all they just they view 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:44.480 all of this as scoring points for their team against 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.639 the other team. Whenever they talk about institutions and our 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.920 sacred democracy and all this other stuff, you can just 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.600 just just cast that aside. That's just nonsense. It doesn't mean, 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.720 it doesn't mean anything to them. It doesn't mean anything 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:01.280 to them. They're they're saying that as a distraction and 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:06.160 as a smoke screens, as a tactic of weaponizing process 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:08.800 against the other. In this case, as we know, the 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:15.520 other would be Democrats. I'm sorry, Republicans. Rather, I want 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.800 to talk to you about the situation here with Mike Bloomberg, 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:21.680 because I do find this fascinating. So let's dive into that. 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:26.359 Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:29.720 to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:34.800 wherever you get your podcasts. I'm very concerned that the 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:37.680 independence of prosecutors, the ability of judges at just weigh 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:41.160 the facts and the evidence is erotium. That the president 0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.840 has taken a wrecking ball to that, and he was 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.639 just impeached for that. We're not going to stop holding 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:49.200 him accountable. We've learned when you hold him accountable, you 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:51.879 can actually stop the corruption, whether he's removed or not. 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:53.720 And ultimately it's going to be for the voters to 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.960 judge in November. Might you impeach him over this? Over 0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:00.119 Roger Stone in the sentence, You know, we're not going 0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:02.720 to take our options off the table. We don't wake 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:04.399 up in the morning wanting to impeach him. You know, 0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:06.359 we want to work with him on primperships and drugs, 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.320 background checks and infrastructure. But we're not going to let 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:12.400 him just, you know, torch this democracy because he thinks 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:14.000 that he's been let off once and we're not going 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.520 to do something about him. Oh yeah, maybe they'll impeach 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:18.760 him about this thing too. They'll impeach the president. Never 0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:23.160 mind bar you know, impeachment, impeachment. Impeachment has a replaced Russia, Russia, Russia. 0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:25.520 They just can't make a good argument. Their argument right 0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:27.680 now is, oh, yeah, let's put a crazy socialist in charge. 0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:31.840 Even Democrats realize that's probably not a winning strategy. I 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:34.320 think they know this. I think they have They've started 0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:37.200 to come to this on understanding but I want to 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:41.680 just switch gears here for a moment and tell you 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:46.200 about what I'm reading about the Bloomberg campaign. Now here's 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:49.960 the thing. Bloomberg is not an exciting politician. No one 0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:53.359 sits around and they're like, you know, Mayor Bloomberg is 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:56.760 really good to save the country. No one thinks that 0:23:56.800 --> 0:24:02.120 Mayor Bloomberg is dynamic, is charismatic or charming or any 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:05.240 of those things. A lot of the president keeps making 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:07.080 fun of his height. I think he's like five eight, 0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:11.520 which is like normal height, like standard average height. So yeah, 0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.159 Producer Brandon is like telling me, he's for you five eight, 0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:17.680 How tall are you? Five six? Okay, but you know, 0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:20.679 like five eight five six, this is this is how 0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:24.680 tall people are fun size. Yeah. So I don't know. 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:26.520 I don't know why Trump's gotta go go go with 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:28.120 the height thing all the time. I don't know. There's 0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:31.200 other you know, low energy, crooked. These are things that 0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:33.640 I you know, I don't know, I think. But calling 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.480 him little Marco, I know it was about hype, but 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:36.960 it was about more than height. It was about his 0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:41.719 lack of real political stature more than his physical stature. 0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:44.840 When he remember with Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio tried to 0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:46.600 go after Trump and tried to try to take the 0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:49.639 gloves off, and it was did not go well for 0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:54.360 little Marco. But now you have Trump facing off against Bloomberg, 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:58.960 and here's what they're getting. They're saying nasty stuff about 0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:03.240 each other. Which the egos here, Let's be honest, These 0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:08.840 egos are titanic, and both guys Titanic egos. And you 0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:14.639 have Trump who's saying this about Bloomberg. Play seventeen. Please, 0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:19.480 he's practically crying, saying what a horrible thing he did. 0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:23.760 I think that's so disingenuous. You know what I'm talking about, Fellas, 0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:28.000 that was so a Bloomberg. Look, he's a lightweight. He's 0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:30.200 a lightweight. You're going to find that out. He's also 0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:33.159 one of the worst debaters I've ever seen, and his 0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:36.320 presence is zero. So he'll spend his three, four or 0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:40.080 five hundred million dollars maybe they will take it away. Frankly, 0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:44.960 I'd rather run against Bloomberg than Bernie Sanders because Sanders 0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:47.640 has real followers. Whether you like him or not, whether 0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:49.400 you agree with him or not. I happen to think 0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:53.560 it's terrible what he says, but he has followers. Bloomberg's 0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:56.080 just buying his way in. But we're going to find 0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:58.440 out what happens. We're going to find out. But when 0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:01.160 you watch, go back to the chair where he apologized 0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:04.520 for everything he ever did practically, and he looked pathetic. 0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:09.439 Our country doesn't need that kind of leadership. A president's 0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:13.000 assaults here on Bloomberg, I think is spot on. There 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:16.120 were some conservatives, including some whom I like very much, 0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:19.879 who immediately I think maybe they got caught up in 0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.320 attacking Bloomberg is helpful to Trump, so they just attacked 0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:26.920 without really thinking through that. Bloomberg's tape, the one that 0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:28.600 I played for you, played for you on the air, 0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:32.439 that's just someone speaking honestly about criminal justice in New 0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:35.480 York City, and as I told you, ended up saving hundreds, 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:38.720 if not thousands of predominantly minority lives in this city. 0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:42.640 And you shouldn't back down from that. You could say, 0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:44.480 maybe tonally I was a little bit off, but I 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:48.240 stand behind you. Know, yeah, you should put more police 0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:51.480 in higher crime neighborhoods. And when more police are in 0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:55.880 higher crime neighborhoods, and those higher crime neighborhoods are overwhelmingly minority. 0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:58.920 That means there'll be more minorities arrested, it means there'll 0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:01.720 be more minority con with law enforcement. But it also 0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:04.879 means more minorities can go to work and stay in 0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:08.040 their homes and run their businesses in safety and security. 0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:12.840 And that's the ultimate purpose of that police presence. That's 0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:14.840 what you say. You don't you don't run away from 0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:18.119 the woke, the woke squad right away, which is what 0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:20.560 Bloomberg did. All of a sudden, He's gonna, oh, I'm sorry, 0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:24.000 I shouldn't have done it, and you know, I'm trying 0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:26.000 to I sound a little bit like Bloomberg, but he's 0:27:26.160 --> 0:27:29.600 you know, he's almost like too boring to impersonate. It's 0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:32.080 kind of all it's sort of all you know, he 0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:34.560 has like a little bit of this, and it's like 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:37.080 he's he doesn't really want to have to talk to you, 0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:40.680 but like, all right, fine, Like can I just pay 0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:44.000 someone else to talk to you? Please? Like I'm worth 0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:47.560 like a hundred bajillion dollars and I just I don't 0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:49.800 really you know that that's kind of Bloomberg. That's kind 0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:51.920 of what you get. This smart guy. He's not a 0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:54.320 charismatic guy. But when Trump says that he's trying to 0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:59.720 buy his way in usually this is a talking point 0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:03.600 or from for mostly from Democrats, who say, oh, money 0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:11.159 in politics and remember sorroast money good, coke money bad? Right? Uh, 0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:13.720 the way the way the Libs frame it, you know, 0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:19.000 Bezos owning the Washington Post good, murroc owning Fox News bad. 0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:22.120 This This is the way. This is the formulation. It's 0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:23.840 not rooted in anything other than they like their team. 0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:27.639 They don't like the other team. It's just true. You know, 0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.960 some billionaires are great because they fund far left calls. 0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:33.240 You know Tom Stier pushing all that money for impeachment. 0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:36.120 By the way, Trump should send him a nice fruit basket, 0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:40.760 you know, a nice bottle of sustainably farmed organic you know, 0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:45.160 non sulfate free trade wine or something, if that's I 0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:47.840 don't know if that's a thing, but it probably could 0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:50.000 be now. By the way, I might start a fight 0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.040 later with all of you about whether or not is 0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:54.200 dry age really worth the extra price. I don't know, 0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:57.160 for for for red meat. I've been going back and 0:28:57.240 --> 0:29:00.520 forth on this. I don't know that'll come up. I 0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:02.720 got to talk about the perfect Valentine's Day stake. That'll 0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:05.520 be a fun part of the show. So all right, 0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:07.960 So Bloomberg is being accused of buying his way in 0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:09.880 or that that's what people are saying. And here's the 0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:13.040 thing about that, it's true. He is he actually is 0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:16.560 buying his way in. He's not a rich guy who 0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:19.840 uses some of his own money and is raising a 0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:21.280 lot of them. He's not taking any to it. He's 0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:24.520 just he's just writing checks. And he has a pretty 0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:29.680 substantial media apparatus, Bloomberg News behind him, pushing him and 0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:34.080 pushing other Democrats, and the stories I'm reading about this, 0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:36.480 I gotta say, it's pretty amazing, you know, one of 0:29:36.520 --> 0:29:38.520 the one of the I wouldn't say it's a regret. 0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:40.280 It would have been fun if I when I were younger, 0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:41.880 I went in the CIA, and you can't work in 0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:43.560 the CIA and be in a campaign. So there really 0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:45.920 wasn't a time in my life as an adult when 0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:51.120 I realistically could have been doing m campaign work. I mean, 0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:52.760 I think maybe you can do it on your own. 0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:54.360 I don't know what the hatch Ack rules say about it, 0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:56.040 but I mean I was busy trying to kill terrorists, 0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:59.000 and by kill terrorists. I mean, write the memos about 0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:03.240 how they bad and how the elite military that I 0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:05.000 was working with would actually go get the bad guys. 0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:08.800 But nonetheless I didn't really have time or the or 0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:11.280 the ability to work on you to meaningful to do 0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:13.680 full time campaign work. That's really what I'm talking about. 0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:20.520 And you see these people out there who are very young, 0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:23.600 who are doing they're doing these interviews about the Bloomberg campaign. 0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:28.440 You're finding twenty three and twenty four year old campaign 0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:34.960 staffers who expect to make on an annual basis about 0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:40.640 thirty thousand dollars a year maybe, And keep in mind 0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:44.960 that that's if it goes for twelve months. So you 0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:46.960 gotta do the math on what they're actually making month 0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:50.719 to month, because the moment your campaign ends, you're done, right, 0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:56.680 the money stops. Bloomberg is paying twenty some odd year 0:30:56.760 --> 0:31:00.400 old political organizers like people that are very very much 0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:03.680 the grunts, you know, the ground forces of his ground 0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:08.000 game in politics, six seventh, six or seven thousand dollars 0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:15.040 a month, yeah, and is guaranteeing people that and this 0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:16.280 is a big point that I want to go on 0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:17.840 and return to. It is guarantee that they will be 0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:20.520 able to do this through the election. So if you 0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:23.960 go work for Bloomberg right now, you not only get 0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:28.120 about double or really a little over double what you 0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:31.400 would expect to make in the course of working on 0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:36.520 a political campaign, you are guaranteed that until November, so 0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:39.000 basically close to through the you know, through almost the 0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:41.960 end of the year, and they'll I'm sure they'll pay 0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:44.160 those people through November and December, and they'll give them 0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:46.600 some severance or something because it's Bloomberg. I mean, the 0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:50.000 guy's walking around just you know, just just ripping one 0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:54.360 hundred dollar bills at everybody. It's crazy. This means that 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:58.160 he's able to buy a ground game, he's able to 0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:01.680 buy an army, a political army. That's what that is 0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.040 what he's doing. He's actually doing it. This is not 0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:07.200 just a you know, Democrats all money in politics and 0:32:07.280 --> 0:32:10.000 all this stuff. No, no, this is this is a 0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:12.320 real thing that's happening. I mean, produce your brand that 0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:14.800 if someone came up to you and said, hey, we 0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:17.880 want we want to pay you six thousand dollars a 0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:21.760 month guaranteed from now till November, they'll be basically no 0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:24.920 oversight over what you're doing whatsoever. Just do your best 0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:27.239 to do some political organizing. And you get to work 0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:30.440 in a super fancy headquarters right in Times Square, and 0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:33.040 they're going to bring in catered food every day for you, 0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:36.240 three meals a day, including they spent I think forty 0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:38.680 thousand dollars in one month on I think that was 0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:42.600 what it was on sushi. I would highly consider it. 0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:44.240 You would consider it, right, I mean you prefer the 0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:47.000 Freedom Hut, of course. But you know this is a 0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:49.360 lot of money you had sold halfway, right, I mean, 0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:50.680 this is a good this is a good setup, is 0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:52.760 a good deal. Let's imagine you didn't have a gig 0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:54.920 at all, right now, right, someone says to you, Look, 0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:56.680 imagine I didn't have a gig. Someone says, go work 0:32:56.680 --> 0:32:59.360 in the Bluebird campaign. We'll pay you six g's a month, 0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:02.680 cover all your food expenses throughout the day. And basically 0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:04.480 no one expects you to win. So just like, do 0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:07.200 whatever you want. It sounds great, right, sounds like a 0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:11.760 free ride. Look, this is no one's ever done this. 0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:14.680 This is an experiment that's never been run before. You 0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:18.280 know you had you know, Jeb Bush, please clap raised 0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:22.440 or spent one hundred million dollars. That's a lot of money. 0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:25.680 One hundred million dollars of other people's money. Now he's 0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:27.760 a rich guy, but he's probably like, I don't know 0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:29.680 what the bushes are really worth. You know, tens of millions, 0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.120 I think, I don't think they're ultra rich, right, they're rich. 0:33:34.160 --> 0:33:35.760 You know, he's spent one hundred million dollars of other 0:33:35.800 --> 0:33:37.680 people's money and got a delegate. I think, I mean 0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:40.560 just was a total The campaign was a total bust. So, yeah, 0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:42.800 people have spent massive sums of money in politics, but 0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:46.520 raising it from other people changes the game. Bloomberg is like, 0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:49.800 who wants to get Mike Bloomberg? Help Mike Bloomberg get 0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:52.120 elected president? And what is it? What do I have 0:33:52.240 --> 0:33:54.640 to pay you to get you to do it? No 0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.920 political campaign? Political campaigns have long hours. So many of 0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:01.040 my friends have worked on them, long hours, grueling work. 0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:03.719 A lot of it is grunt work. It's it's not sexy, 0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:08.000 it's boring stuff. But if they're gonna bring in catered sushi, 0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:12.400 and I'm a sweet green man myself, like some of 0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:15.480 these fancy salad places, but or maybe perhaps they don't 0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:17.040 have in and out Burger in New York. Why don't 0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:20.799 want But they do have shake shack. You're gonna bring 0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:22.839 me free shake shack every day in a gluten free bun. 0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:27.000 I mean, I'm not saying I'm not saying that I 0:34:27.080 --> 0:34:30.000 would have gone to work on the Bedo campaign if 0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.400 he had offered these kind of benefits, But I am 0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:36.440 saying I might have considered it. Let folks, this is 0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:38.640 no one's ever done this before. No one's ever been 0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:41.800 able to spend these kinds of resources to make working 0:34:41.840 --> 0:34:44.680 for Mike Bloomberg, really really, and look, this is a 0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:48.080 guy who understands, understands the free market, understands how to 0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:52.720 run a business, understands incentives. He's horrible on national level policy. 0:34:52.800 --> 0:34:55.880 He's horrible on climate change and guns and nanny stata. 0:34:55.960 --> 0:35:00.719 I get all of that, But if you're getting the 0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:04.840 opportunity to go work for the Bloomberg campaign and versus 0:35:04.880 --> 0:35:08.520 all the other Democrat campaigns right now, gotta tell you, 0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:11.839 he's bringing in a lot of talent and a lot 0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:15.000 of people are trying to get get in the door 0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:18.719 and get on the Bloomberg gravy train. This has never 0:35:18.840 --> 0:35:21.480 happened before. But there's one way that I think this 0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:25.959 could be really meaningful for who becomes next president United States. 0:35:26.000 --> 0:35:29.200 I don't think it will be Bloomberg. But there's something 0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:30.800 else that we have to remember. I'll get to that 0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:34.280 in just a second. All right, just before we continue 0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:38.000 on with our ken Bloomberg actually buy the presidency, which 0:35:38.000 --> 0:35:41.960 I think the answer is no. But who knows. Morning 0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:45.560 Consult has a new poll out today, and look, I know, 0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:48.920 poles changed, YadA YadA. Pundits love to talk about poles, 0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:55.520 but I'm much more interested in the micro analysis that 0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:58.919 we can take here or the this snapshot in time 0:35:59.000 --> 0:36:01.759 of what what is happening in the Democratic primary that 0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:06.400 we think is happening. It is happening. Here's there. This 0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:09.880 is the poll was a question was Democratic primary voters 0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:13.360 were asked whom they would vote for if the primary 0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:18.760 or caucus were held in their state today. Bernie Sanders 0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:22.520 was before New Hampshire getting twenty five percent of that vote. 0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:25.879 Now he's at twenty nine percent, up four points. Joe 0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:29.719 Biden was at twenty two percent, drop three points to 0:36:29.880 --> 0:36:32.279 nineteen percent. So now you got Bernie at twenty nine 0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:36.960 Biden at nineteen. It's a pretty healthy, healthy gap. Mike 0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:42.400 Bloomberg my friends number three in this national poll. This 0:36:42.520 --> 0:36:45.719 is asking all Democrats all across the country. Mike Bloomberg 0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:50.600 is now eighteen percent. Bloomberg just showed up and has 0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:54.839 bought himself into almost third place. I'm sorry, almost second place. 0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:58.600 He isn't third place nationally in this poll based on 0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:03.080 Democrat reception across the country. And then Pete Buddha Judge 0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:05.279 is at eleven, Elizabeth Warren is down to ten, she 0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:07.759 dropped one. Booda Judge is pretty much standing constant, and 0:37:07.880 --> 0:37:09.960 Kloba char is down to the bottom round five percent. 0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:11.880 Now she's got a little bump out of New Hampshire, 0:37:11.880 --> 0:37:14.600 but not much, I mean according to this. Now you 0:37:14.680 --> 0:37:16.760 have to see how it plays out in Nevada, South Carolina. 0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:20.919 I think Biden's gonna You're gonna see Biden's numbers jump, 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:24.120 you know, three, four five points after South Carolina because 0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:26.399 people can say, oh he wants at Carolina. Gotta see 0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:29.919 how he does in Nevada. Not sure how that's gonna 0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:33.880 shake out. But Bernie is clearly right now the front runner. 0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:41.120 But we're talking Bloomberg, Maya Bloeberg and he producer brand 0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:42.960 it thinks of my Blueberg is actually pretty good for 0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.759 the record, So you know, it's kind of like it's 0:37:45.800 --> 0:37:48.720 like he's just he doesn't want to have to address 0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:51.600 all the stupid people in the room, and he's just 0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:54.960 why do you want to drink you giant soda? It's 0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:59.160 so much sugar, It's so bad for you, right, I mean, 0:37:59.239 --> 0:38:01.520 that's that's kind of uh. It just reminds me of 0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:03.960 more Goldman from Family Guy. I don't know if he's 0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:07.680 just sort of like jury boys, Fine, you're gonna ask me, 0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:09.759 You're gonna ask me questions. Can I just can I 0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:12.840 just throw Like if I gave you a million dollars? 0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:15.520 Would you stop asking me annoying questions? Press? Like? Could 0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:18.120 I just give you all? Like how about that? We'll 0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:21.200 come up with some kind of a deal. Oh Man 0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:26.279 Bloomberg Bloomberg guito for those of you who remember when 0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:28.560 he was mayor in New York City. All right, so 0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:30.720 this morning Console Pole shows what we all thought happened, 0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:33.759 which is Biden is Biden is almost on the ropes here. 0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:37.839 Bloomberg is third place nationally, so clearly he's been able 0:38:37.840 --> 0:38:41.600 to buy something, he's been able to throw money. And 0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:42.880 by the way, it's not fair to say, just that 0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:44.560 he's buying, and I mean the money is a huge 0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:47.759 part of it. But it's also interesting that he gets 0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:50.600 to skip you know, he's gonna have this narrative and 0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:53.640 I think Republicans need to be prepared for this. He's 0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:57.440 going to skip past all these all these people that 0:38:57.520 --> 0:38:59.359 have to do the oh, I'm gonna have to kiss 0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:01.680 the babies ds and then go and talk to this 0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:05.400 union and talk to that constituency trying to raise money. 0:39:05.840 --> 0:39:08.319 He just gets to focus on messaging and has an 0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:10.600 army of people doing messaging for him. I mean, he's 0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:14.759 paying like Instagram influencers that some of you listening, I 0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:16.960 mean your kids might be really into, or those of 0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:21.040 you who are Team buck gen Z might be falling 0:39:21.080 --> 0:39:23.200 into the category. But you know a guy, I don't 0:39:23.239 --> 0:39:26.160 know how else to say it. His name is Blank Jerry, 0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:28.960 who's a well known I can't That's all I can say. 0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:34.200 Blank Jerry's a well known Instagram influencer. He's doing Bloomberg stuff. 0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:38.160 I mean they're they're going out. And there's another there's 0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:40.319 another well known Instagram influencer. I don't know if he's 0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:43.160 gone gone after him yet or Bloomberg has paid him yet, 0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:46.400 but his name is In fact, he goes by the moniker, 0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:51.520 the Fat Jewish, Bruster Brandon familiar with he. You know, 0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:54.200 they're going for people like that, Instagram influencers who are 0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:57.480 thought of as being very edgy and culturally relevant, and 0:39:57.840 --> 0:40:01.640 they're taking wads of cash. Although I don't think mister 0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:05.440 mister Jewish has done that yet, or mister mister the 0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:07.239 Fat Jewish whatever. I don't know his real name, but 0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:10.239 I just know that's his stage name, um right, I mean, 0:40:10.280 --> 0:40:12.200 do you know do you know his real name? Producer 0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:15.400 Brandon might know his real name. I don't. I may 0:40:15.440 --> 0:40:17.719 have known at a certain point, but I just don't 0:40:17.800 --> 0:40:20.560 like what he's about as a member, as a member 0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:22.439 of the Jewish community, Brandon, how do we feel about 0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:24.560 a gentleman calling himself of the Fat Jewish all the time? 0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:28.719 It's a it's a poor stick, it's get old. Yeah, 0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:30.800 it's a it's a funny. He's got oh like a 0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:33.480 couple of million Instagram followers, right, he's big on Instagram. 0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:37.880 It's offensive to real brilliant Jewish comedians like mel Brooks. 0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:41.240 That's how I look at it. It's like, it's so lazy, 0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:44.240 you know that's you think, it's like almost it's almost 0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:48.160 exploitation of Jewish culture that does not elevate the humorous 0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:49.880 aspects of it the way that it has been by 0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:52.080 the great luminaries of humor in the past. If you 0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:56.320 remember the Brian Franstein character on Seinfeld when he converted 0:40:56.440 --> 0:40:59.120 just for the jokes. According to the Jerry, he's he 0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:02.160 wanted a stickle Florid. He starts using these I mean 0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:04.759 and he wasn't Jewish, you know, according to jew Did 0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:07.919 you ever did you ever see the uh the Larry 0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:11.040 David episode where he finds out that this lawyer isn't Jewish. Yeah, 0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:13.800 but he says like shalom and he's, you know, masl 0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:18.399 and all this stuff. Larry David's like, I don't I'm 0:41:18.440 --> 0:41:20.279 not okay with this whatever. He's like, what do you mean, Larry, 0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:22.560 I'm just trying to be culturally, you know, culturally sensitive. 0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:24.479 And he's like, no, you're not trying to make people 0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:27.120 think you're a Jewish lawyer. You had to earn it it. Yeah. 0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:32.040 So anyway, so there's all these Instagram influencers who are 0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:34.120 getting paid all this money because they're not only is 0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:36.560 Bloomberger will get his messaging out. He's messaging is being 0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:38.799 made kind of cool. There's this story the New York 0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:41.640 Times about the waterfall of Bloomberg money talking about a 0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:44.879 pro Bloomberg for President. I was gonna say, for mayor 0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:50.080 for President party that he threw in Miami with they 0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:55.000 were handing out like, uh, you know, breed drizzled in 0:41:55.080 --> 0:41:59.400 honey and fancy canopay and the waite staff was wearing 0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:02.759 all black, you know, black suits except for red, white 0:42:02.800 --> 0:42:06.799 and blue Bloomberg T shirts. And you know, I don't 0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:09.320 know if there were like go go dancers and cages 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:11.239 or anything that that's probably off brand. But I'm just 0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:13.960 saying it was like a fancy Miami party. And if 0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:16.200 I got invited to that Bloomberg party, I'm not saying 0:42:16.239 --> 0:42:18.359 I'm voting from Mike. I'm going for Trump all the way. 0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:20.919 Am I gonna go eat some breed drizzled and honey? 0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:23.640 Though it is a weakness that I have, you know, 0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:26.200 it is something that I can't say I would I 0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:31.560 would quickly, I would quickly turn down. So there's that. 0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:35.440 So that's a thing that that's a thing that's real. Um, 0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:38.520 what else did I have for you? On Bloomberg. There 0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:41.120 are a few more. Oh, well, how is he how 0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:44.440 is he positioning himself in this? Please play Procure brand 0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:48.680 and please play fourteen. Even though Donald and I are 0:42:48.719 --> 0:42:51.120 both from New York, the truth is we could not 0:42:51.280 --> 0:42:54.320 be more different. In fact, I build myself as the 0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:58.000 Untrump is a selection is too important for our party 0:42:58.080 --> 0:43:02.320 to have the kind of too important, that kind of 0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:06.680 divisions we sat we saw back in twenty sixteen, too 0:43:06.760 --> 0:43:08.960 important to have. Yeah, I got it. That's that's I'm 0:43:09.000 --> 0:43:11.120 right in there. I'm in the I'm close to getting 0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:14.040 the Bloomberg, the Bloomer voice down right. But he's saying 0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:17.400 he's the un Trump. Well, if he were to win 0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:24.240 the nomination, you would have two white male uh boomer 0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:27.920 billionaires from New York City vying for the presidency. It's 0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:29.799 pretty amazing in a country at three hundred and twenty 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:36.239 million people with a tremendous actual diversity, that it would 0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:38.799 be two guys who basically have lived ten blocks from 0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:42.239 each other for the last forty years. I mean, I mean, yet, 0:43:42.480 --> 0:43:44.120 I don't know, I don't know exact Bloomberg's I guess 0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:46.160 in his places out there side. Okay, he lived like 0:43:46.200 --> 0:43:48.399 twenty blocks from each other. But yeah, trust me, they've 0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:50.000 been going to the same restaurants. I could I could 0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:51.520 rattle off the top of my head the restaurants that 0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:54.359 Bloomberg and Trump have been going through for a long time. Well, 0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:58.000 then again, Trump is probably Mickey D's. He likes Mickey D's. Um, 0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:01.600 maybe Chick Filo these days, but he's definitely in the 0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:04.600 Mickey D's. So we've got that here. Here's how I 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:06.719 think that this could really matter, or this could really 0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:12.080 change change things in a significant way. Bloomberg has also 0:44:12.200 --> 0:44:15.280 vowed to use the apparatus that he is I wouldn't 0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:17.879 say building the apparatus that he has bought and paid 0:44:17.920 --> 0:44:22.280 for for the presidency to help whoever is the nominee. 0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:25.399 So there's this talk of broker convention and everyone says 0:44:25.400 --> 0:44:26.920 that and no one even people say this, and I'll 0:44:26.920 --> 0:44:28.640 be honest, they don't even really understands how that works. 0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:30.279 I mean, the people that are talking about it on TV. 0:44:30.800 --> 0:44:33.040 But you know, maybe there's a broker convention and Bloomberg 0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:35.759 becomes the you know, the the savior of the Democratic 0:44:35.840 --> 0:44:37.640 Party or the guy who unites it. I think that's 0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:41.720 unlikely that Bernie bros will completely flip out. He's literally 0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:45.640 a billionaire oligock. I mean, let's be real, he is 0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:50.799 a billionaire oligarc right, So Bernie's run around thing the billionaires, 0:44:50.880 --> 0:44:53.680 the billionaires, the oli Cocks, all the millionaires. Now that's 0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:56.160 the Bernie's millionaire, so they can't really the billionaires and 0:44:56.200 --> 0:44:58.560 the oligos. And then he can point the Bloomberg and 0:44:58.640 --> 0:45:01.200 be like, say, I told you, and he's right, he 0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:03.320 did tell us it looks like he can buy it. 0:45:03.400 --> 0:45:06.040 Looks like you can buy our democracy. But if he 0:45:06.200 --> 0:45:08.400 takes the apparatus that he's bought and paid for, if 0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:12.920 Bloomberg takes that and leverages it to assist someone else 0:45:13.440 --> 0:45:16.640 in the you know, the Democrat field, that will be 0:45:17.920 --> 0:45:20.759 that will be a thing that we can't really factor in. 0:45:20.840 --> 0:45:24.040 How does that work out? What happens when you have 0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:25.920 Bernie to just just follow me on this. When what 0:45:25.960 --> 0:45:30.920 happens when you have Bernie level enthusiasm, let's say, meaning 0:45:31.000 --> 0:45:34.040 his people that are all Bernie's gonna save America by 0:45:34.160 --> 0:45:38.080 making everything free, and we hate the corporations, and you know, 0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:41.520 Bernie people are intense, man. You know they're the only 0:45:41.640 --> 0:45:44.759 ones that line up in terms of their fervor for 0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:48.840 their candidate. With Trump supporters, you know, please, did you 0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:53.719 see the Buddha Judge supporters. They're like, they're like, I 0:45:54.080 --> 0:45:56.040 can't even do the song. They had some horrible song 0:45:56.120 --> 0:45:58.000 they were doing for a while. Do you know what 0:45:58.040 --> 0:45:59.759 I'm talking about? The Budda Judge song where they were 0:45:59.760 --> 0:46:02.319 like apping and stuff. Whatever. It wasn't it wasn't good. 0:46:02.800 --> 0:46:08.279 It wasn't good. So anyway, the Bernie people can line 0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:11.719 up against the Trump people, and now you have to 0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:14.399 think what happens if those Bernie people then are also 0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:16.960 able to say, Hey, at the Bernie rally courtesy of 0:46:17.040 --> 0:46:20.719 Mayor Bloomberg, we're gonna have breed drizzled in honey and 0:46:20.840 --> 0:46:24.799 people passing out, you know, Toro, Fatty Tuna, big fan 0:46:24.880 --> 0:46:27.279 of it and things like that. It's all free. Just 0:46:27.320 --> 0:46:29.640 show up at the rally and also stay and we're 0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:32.000 going to give out like really high quality organic cotton 0:46:32.080 --> 0:46:34.680 T shirts with Bernie for President on them, courtesy of 0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:38.920 Mayor Bloomberg. You start to see how that could be 0:46:39.000 --> 0:46:41.680 a thing. But now, would would Bloomberg do that for Bernie? 0:46:43.280 --> 0:46:45.960 I think Bloomberg stepping in because he understands what Burnie 0:46:46.000 --> 0:46:48.680 would mean for the country. I think he would do 0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:52.520 it for He'd do it for Klobaschar. He would do it, 0:46:52.680 --> 0:46:55.800 you know. I think he's promised that he'll support the nominee, 0:46:56.200 --> 0:46:59.000 but will he use the resources at his disposal to 0:46:59.120 --> 0:47:01.719 help that nomine with the apparatus he's currently paying for 0:47:01.800 --> 0:47:04.800 and saying he's going to pay for it through the election. 0:47:06.400 --> 0:47:08.520 He'd do it for Mayor Pete. He'd do it for 0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:12.120 Kloba Schar. He'd definitely do it for Biden. I don't 0:47:12.160 --> 0:47:14.879 know if he would do it for Bernie. And think 0:47:14.920 --> 0:47:17.120 about the message that that would say. Think about the 0:47:17.160 --> 0:47:20.120 civil war that could be ignited with the Democratic Party 0:47:20.120 --> 0:47:22.919 if that happens to be the case. So I'm telling 0:47:23.000 --> 0:47:25.239 you Bloomberg is an X factor. I don't mean that 0:47:25.360 --> 0:47:28.680 doesn't mean that we that mean we don't know. But 0:47:28.800 --> 0:47:31.960 Bloomberg is an X factor in all of this. When 0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:34.279 you have that much money to spend and that much 0:47:34.440 --> 0:47:41.120 organizational savvy who knows.

Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the 0:47:45.360 --> 0:47:50.080 iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, 0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:53.160 just before we continue on with our Ken Bloomberg actually 0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:55.840 buy the presidency, which I think the answer is no. 0:47:56.040 --> 0:48:00.560 But who knows. Morning Consult has a new pole out today, 0:48:01.600 --> 0:48:05.120 and look, I know, polls changed, YadA YadA. Pundits love 0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:08.480 to talk about polls, but I'm much more interested in 0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:14.400 the micro analysis that we can take here or the 0:48:14.640 --> 0:48:17.719 this snapshot in time of what what is happening in 0:48:17.760 --> 0:48:20.560 the Democratic primary that we think is happening. It is happening, 0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:25.440 here's there. This is the poll was a question was 0:48:25.520 --> 0:48:29.040 Democratic primary voters were asked whom they would vote for 0:48:29.600 --> 0:48:33.600 if the primary or caucus were held in their state today. 0:48:34.800 --> 0:48:39.000 Bernie Sanders was before New Hampshire getting twenty five percent 0:48:39.040 --> 0:48:41.239 of that vote. Now he's at twenty nine percent, up 0:48:41.320 --> 0:48:46.160 four points. Joe Biden was at twenty two percent, dropped 0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:48.600 three points to nineteen percent. So now you got Bernie 0:48:48.640 --> 0:48:51.120 at twenty nine Biden at nineteen. That's a that's a 0:48:51.200 --> 0:48:57.359 pretty healthy, healthy gap. Mike Bloomberg, my friends, number three 0:48:57.960 --> 0:49:00.759 in this national poll. This is asking all Democrats all 0:49:00.760 --> 0:49:05.520 across the country. Mike Bloomberg is now eighteen percent. Bloomberg 0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:10.000 just showed up and has bought himself into almost third place. 0:49:10.280 --> 0:49:13.680 I'm sorry, almost second place. He isn't third place nationally 0:49:13.760 --> 0:49:18.040 in this poll based on Democrat perception across the country. 0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:21.680 And then Pete Buddha Judge is at eleven, Elizabeth Warren's 0:49:21.760 --> 0:49:23.600 down to ten, she dropped one, Booda Judge is pretty 0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:26.080 much staying constant, and Klobaschar is down to the bottom 0:49:26.160 --> 0:49:28.319 round five percent. Now she's got a little bump out 0:49:28.320 --> 0:49:31.040 of New Hampshire, but not much, I mean, according to 0:49:31.160 --> 0:49:32.600 this Now you have to see how it plays out 0:49:32.640 --> 0:49:35.200 in Nevada, South Carolina. I think Biden's gonna You're gonna 0:49:35.200 --> 0:49:39.720 see Biden's numbers jump, you know, three four, five points 0:49:39.800 --> 0:49:42.080 after South Carolina because people can say, oh he wants 0:49:42.080 --> 0:49:45.880 at Carolina. Gotta see how he does in Nevada. Not 0:49:46.040 --> 0:49:49.480 sure how that's gonna shake out. But Bernie is clearly 0:49:49.600 --> 0:49:54.040 right now the front runner. But we're talking Bloomberg Mayor 0:49:54.120 --> 0:49:58.960 Bloomberg and he producer brand It thinks of my Bloomberg 0:49:59.080 --> 0:50:01.879 is actually pretty good for record, So you know, it's 0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:04.839 kind of like it's like he's just he doesn't want 0:50:04.880 --> 0:50:07.799 to have to address all the stupid people in the room, 0:50:08.040 --> 0:50:10.560 and he's just why do you want to drink your 0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:15.319 giant soda. It's so much sugar, It's so bad for you, right, 0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:18.360 I mean, that's that's kind of It just reminds me 0:50:18.440 --> 0:50:20.560 of more Goldman from Family Guy. I don't know if 0:50:20.760 --> 0:50:24.279 he's just sort of like jerky boys. Fine, you're gonna 0:50:24.280 --> 0:50:26.400 ask me, You're gonna ask me questions. Can I just 0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:29.040 can I just throw? Like if I gave you a 0:50:29.120 --> 0:50:32.239 million dollars? Would you stop asking me annoying questions? Press? Like? 0:50:32.320 --> 0:50:34.040 Could I just give you all? Like? How about that? 0:50:34.680 --> 0:50:37.759 We'll come up with some kind of a deal. Oh 0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:43.000 Man Bloomberg Bloomberg Ghito for those of you who remember 0:50:43.120 --> 0:50:45.440 when he was mayor in New York City. All right, 0:50:45.480 --> 0:50:47.680 so this morning Console Pole shows what we all thought happened, 0:50:47.719 --> 0:50:50.759 which is Biden is Biden is almost on the ropes here. 0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:54.839 Bloomberg is third place nationally. So clearly he's been able 0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:58.560 to buy something, he's been able to throw money. And 0:50:58.600 --> 0:50:59.920 by way, it's not fair to say just that he 0:51:00.160 --> 0:51:01.799 buying and I mean the money is a huge part 0:51:01.880 --> 0:51:05.200 of it, but it's also interesting that he gets to skip. 0:51:05.880 --> 0:51:08.040 You know, he's going to have this narrative and I 0:51:08.120 --> 0:51:10.839 think Republicans need to be prepared for this. He's going 0:51:10.920 --> 0:51:14.560 to skip past all these all these people that have 0:51:14.640 --> 0:51:16.440 to do the Oh I'm gonna have to kiss the 0:51:16.480 --> 0:51:19.120 baby's heads and then go and talk to this union 0:51:19.200 --> 0:51:22.880 and talk to that constituency trying to raise money. He 0:51:23.040 --> 0:51:25.520 just gets to focus on messaging and has an army 0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:27.920 of people doing messaging for him. I mean, he's paying 0:51:28.800 --> 0:51:31.920 like Instagram influencers that some of you listening, I mean 0:51:31.960 --> 0:51:34.040 your kids might be really into or those of you 0:51:34.120 --> 0:51:38.239 who are Team buck gen Z might be falling into 0:51:38.239 --> 0:51:40.239 the category. But you know a guy, I don't know 0:51:40.280 --> 0:51:43.120 how else to say it. His name is Blank Jerry, 0:51:43.719 --> 0:51:45.920 who's a well known I can't That's all I can say. 0:51:46.160 --> 0:51:50.279 Blank Jerry is a well known Instagram influencer. He's doing 0:51:50.320 --> 0:51:54.160 Bloomberg stuff. I mean they're they're going out. And there's 0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:57.000 another there's another well known Instagram influencer. I don't know 0:51:57.040 --> 0:51:59.359 if he's gone gone after him yet or Bloomberg has 0:51:59.480 --> 0:52:01.880 paid him yet, but his name is In fact, he 0:52:02.280 --> 0:52:06.960 goes by the Moniker, the fat Jewish Bruster Brandon familiar 0:52:07.000 --> 0:52:09.800 with he. You know, they're going for people like that, 0:52:09.960 --> 0:52:12.879 Instagram influencers who are thought of as being very edgy 0:52:13.000 --> 0:52:17.760 and culturally relevant, and they're taking wads of cash, although 0:52:17.760 --> 0:52:20.359 I don't think mister mister Jewish has done that yet, 0:52:21.520 --> 0:52:23.600 or mister mister the Fat Jewish whatever. I don't know 0:52:23.680 --> 0:52:25.879 his real name, but I just know that's his stage name. 0:52:26.400 --> 0:52:27.880 Um right, I mean, do you know do you know 0:52:27.960 --> 0:52:30.680 his real name? Bruce Brandon might might know his real name. 0:52:31.200 --> 0:52:33.799 I don't, because I may have known at a certain point, 0:52:33.880 --> 0:52:36.919 but I just don't like what he's about as a member, 0:52:37.080 --> 0:52:38.840 as a member of the Jewish community, Brandon, how do 0:52:38.920 --> 0:52:41.040 we feel about a gentleman calling himself the fat Jewish 0:52:41.080 --> 0:52:43.960 all the time? It's a it's a poor stick, it's 0:52:43.960 --> 0:52:47.200 a gets old, Yeah, it's a it's a he's got 0:52:47.280 --> 0:52:49.839 oh like a couple million Instagram followers, right, he's big 0:52:49.880 --> 0:52:54.160 on Instagram. It's offensive to real brilliant Jewish comedians like 0:52:54.280 --> 0:52:57.080 mel Brooks. That's how I look at it. I might 0:52:57.160 --> 0:53:00.239 it's so lazy, you know, that's you think. It's like 0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:04.000 almost it's almost exploitation of Jewish culture that does not 0:53:04.160 --> 0:53:06.320 elevate the humorous aspects of it the way that it 0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:08.680 has been by the great luminaries of humor in the past. 0:53:08.840 --> 0:53:12.719 If you remember the Brian Kranstein character on Seinfeld when 0:53:12.760 --> 0:53:15.200 he converted just for the jokes. According to the Jerry, 0:53:15.800 --> 0:53:18.200 he's he wanted a stickle of flooride. He starts using 0:53:18.239 --> 0:53:21.320 these I mean and he wasn't Jewish, you know, according 0:53:21.320 --> 0:53:23.560 to jew Did you ever did you ever see the 0:53:24.400 --> 0:53:26.560 the Larry David episode where he finds out that this 0:53:26.760 --> 0:53:29.640 lawyer isn't Jewish. Yeah, but he says like shalom and 0:53:29.760 --> 0:53:34.080 he's you know, mozl and all this stuff. Larry David's like, 0:53:34.400 --> 0:53:36.560 I don't I'm not okay with this whatever. He's like, 0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:38.280 what do you mean, Larry, I'm just trying to be culturally, 0:53:38.400 --> 0:53:40.279 you know, culturally sensitive. And he's like, no, you're not 0:53:40.800 --> 0:53:42.560 trying to make people think you're a Jewish lawyer. You 0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:45.080 had to earn it it. Yeah. So anyway, so there's 0:53:45.080 --> 0:53:49.759 all these Instagram influencers who are getting paid all this 0:53:49.880 --> 0:53:52.000 money because they're not only is Bloomberger will get his 0:53:52.040 --> 0:53:54.359 messaging out. He's messaging is being made kind of cool. 0:53:54.640 --> 0:53:56.360 There is this story the New York Times about the 0:53:56.400 --> 0:54:00.960 waterfall of Bloomberg money talking about a pro Bloomberg for president. 0:54:00.960 --> 0:54:03.640 I was gonna say, for Mayor for President party that 0:54:03.800 --> 0:54:09.279 he threw in Miami with they were handing out like, uh, 0:54:09.840 --> 0:54:15.000 you know, breed drizzled in honey and fancy canopey and 0:54:15.160 --> 0:54:17.919 the wait staff was wearing all black, you know, black 0:54:17.960 --> 0:54:21.440 suits except for red, white and blue Bloomberg T shirts. 0:54:22.120 --> 0:54:24.480 And you know, I don't know if there were like 0:54:25.040 --> 0:54:27.320 go go dancers and cages or anything that that's probably 0:54:27.360 --> 0:54:28.960 off brand. But I'm just saying it was like a 0:54:29.040 --> 0:54:31.759 fancy Miami party. And if I got invited to that 0:54:31.800 --> 0:54:34.279 Bloomberg party, I'm not saying I'm voting from Mike. I'm 0:54:34.320 --> 0:54:36.279 going for Trump all the way. Am I gonna go 0:54:36.360 --> 0:54:38.800 eat some breed drizzled in honey? Though it is a 0:54:38.840 --> 0:54:41.960 weakness that I have, you know, it is something that 0:54:42.120 --> 0:54:45.120 I can't say I would, I would quickly, I would 0:54:45.160 --> 0:54:50.120 quickly turn down. So there's that. So that's a thing 0:54:50.200 --> 0:54:53.719 that that's a thing that's real. Um what else did 0:54:53.760 --> 0:54:55.680 I have for you on on Bloomberg? There are a 0:54:55.719 --> 0:54:58.400 few more? Oh well, how is he? How is he 0:54:58.560 --> 0:55:02.360 positioning himself in this? Please play PreCure Brandon, Please play fourteen. 0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:06.560 Even though Donald and I are both from New York, 0:55:06.719 --> 0:55:09.879 the truth is we could not be more different. In fact, 0:55:10.040 --> 0:55:13.520 I build myself as the Untrump is this selection is 0:55:13.560 --> 0:55:15.840 too important for our party to have the kind of 0:55:17.600 --> 0:55:20.680 too important that the kind of divisions we sat we 0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:24.919 saw back in twenty sixteen, too important to have that. Yeah, 0:55:24.960 --> 0:55:26.600 I got it. That's that's I'm right in there. I'm 0:55:26.600 --> 0:55:29.200 in the I'm close to getting the Bloomberg the Bloomer 0:55:29.320 --> 0:55:33.080 voice down right. But he's saying he's the Untrump. Well, 0:55:33.719 --> 0:55:35.800 if you were to win the nomination, you would have 0:55:37.560 --> 0:55:43.640 two white male boomer billionaires from New York City vying 0:55:43.719 --> 0:55:46.040 for the presidency. It's pretty amazing in a country at 0:55:46.040 --> 0:55:50.840 three hundred and twenty million people with a tremendous actual diversity. 0:55:51.280 --> 0:55:54.840 That facts, it would be two guys who basically have 0:55:54.960 --> 0:55:57.120 lived ten blocks from each other for the last forty years. 0:55:57.520 --> 0:56:00.160 I mean, I mean yet, I don't know. I don't 0:56:00.160 --> 0:56:02.640 know exactly Bloomberg's I guess in his places out there side. Okay, 0:56:02.719 --> 0:56:04.640 he lived like twenty blocks from each other. But you know, 0:56:04.840 --> 0:56:06.520 trust me, they've been going to the same restaurants. I 0:56:06.520 --> 0:56:07.960 could I could rattle off the top of my head 0:56:07.960 --> 0:56:09.880 the restaurants that Bloomberg and Trump have been going through 0:56:09.920 --> 0:56:12.440 for a long time. Well, then again, Trump is probably 0:56:12.560 --> 0:56:16.879 Mickey D's. He likes Mickey D's. Um, maybe Chick fil 0:56:16.920 --> 0:56:19.160 A these days, but he's definitely in the Mickey D's. 0:56:19.680 --> 0:56:21.840 So we've got that here. Here's how I think that 0:56:21.920 --> 0:56:24.520 this could really matter, or this could really change change 0:56:24.560 --> 0:56:29.600 things in a significant way. Bloomberg has also vowed to 0:56:29.840 --> 0:56:33.160 use the apparatus that he is I wouldn't say building 0:56:33.239 --> 0:56:35.960 the apparatus that he has bought and paid for for 0:56:36.080 --> 0:56:40.480 the presidency to help whoever is the nominee. So there's 0:56:40.480 --> 0:56:42.520 this talk of broker convention and everyone says that and 0:56:42.560 --> 0:56:44.160 no one even people say this, and I'll be honest, 0:56:44.160 --> 0:56:45.840 they don't even really understand how that works. I mean 0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:47.800 the people that are talking about it on TV. But 0:56:47.920 --> 0:56:50.440 you know, maybe there's a broker convention and Bloomberg becomes 0:56:50.520 --> 0:56:53.080 the you know, the the savior of the Democratic Party 0:56:53.200 --> 0:56:55.000 or the guy who unites it. I think that's unlikely. 0:56:55.160 --> 0:57:00.600 Bernie bros. Will completely flip out. He's literally a billionaire Oligock. 0:57:00.840 --> 0:57:04.839 I mean, let's be real, he is a billionaire oligarc right, 0:57:04.960 --> 0:57:08.520 So Berni's went around saying the billionaires, the billionaires, the 0:57:08.640 --> 0:57:11.600 oli cocks all the millionaires. Now that's the Bernie's the millionaires, 0:57:11.600 --> 0:57:14.360 so they can't really the billionaires and the oligos. And 0:57:14.440 --> 0:57:16.040 then he can point the Bloomberg and be like, say, 0:57:16.120 --> 0:57:18.800 I told you, and he's right, he did tell us. 0:57:19.120 --> 0:57:20.760 It looks like he can buy it. Looks like you 0:57:20.840 --> 0:57:24.240 can buy our democracy. But if he takes the apparatus 0:57:24.320 --> 0:57:26.160 that he's bought and paid for, if Bloomberg takes that 0:57:26.320 --> 0:57:31.080 and leverages it to assist someone else in the you know, 0:57:31.160 --> 0:57:35.560 the Democrat field, that will be that will be a 0:57:36.480 --> 0:57:38.120 thing that we can't really factor in. How does that 0:57:38.200 --> 0:57:41.800 work out? What happens when you have Bernie to just 0:57:41.920 --> 0:57:43.440 just follow me on this, When what happens when you 0:57:43.520 --> 0:57:48.560 have Bernie level enthusiasm, let's say, meaning his people that 0:57:48.640 --> 0:57:52.520 are all Perni's gonna save America by making everything free 0:57:52.800 --> 0:57:56.080 and we hate the corporations. And you know, Bernie people 0:57:56.120 --> 0:57:58.960 are intense, man. You know, they're the only ones that 0:57:59.120 --> 0:58:02.560 line up in terms of their fervor for their candidate 0:58:02.640 --> 0:58:06.120 with Trump supporters. You know, please, did you see the 0:58:06.320 --> 0:58:11.440 Buddha Judge supporters. They're like, they're like, I can't even 0:58:11.480 --> 0:58:13.360 do the song. They had some horrible song they were 0:58:13.440 --> 0:58:15.600 doing for a while, do you know what I'm talking about? 0:58:15.600 --> 0:58:18.040 The Buddha Judge song where they were like clapping and stuff. Whatever. 0:58:18.080 --> 0:58:23.120 It wasn't it wasn't good. It wasn't good. So anyway, 0:58:23.480 --> 0:58:26.240 the Bernie people can line up against the Trump people, 0:58:26.880 --> 0:58:29.680 and now you have to think what happens if those 0:58:29.720 --> 0:58:32.360 Bernie people then are also able to say, Hey, at 0:58:32.400 --> 0:58:35.640 the Bernie rally courtesy of Mayor Bloomberg, we're gonna have 0:58:36.200 --> 0:58:40.000 breed drizzled in honey and people passing out, you know, Toro, 0:58:40.240 --> 0:58:43.040 Fatty Tuna, big fan of it and things like that. 0:58:43.440 --> 0:58:45.600 It's all free. Just show up at the rally and 0:58:45.760 --> 0:58:47.800 also stay and we're gonna give out like really high 0:58:47.880 --> 0:58:51.000 quality organic cotton t shirts with Bernie for President on them, 0:58:51.200 --> 0:58:55.600 courtesy of Mayor Bloomberg. You start to see how that 0:58:55.680 --> 0:58:57.720 could be a thing. But now, would would Bloomberg do 0:58:57.880 --> 0:59:01.880 that for Bernie? I think Bloomberg stepping in because he 0:59:02.080 --> 0:59:05.240 understands what Burnie would mean for the country. I think 0:59:05.280 --> 0:59:07.240 he would do it for He'd do it for Cloba 0:59:07.320 --> 0:59:11.040 Shar He would do it. You know. I think he's 0:59:11.120 --> 0:59:14.120 promised that he'll support the nominee, But will he use 0:59:14.240 --> 0:59:17.160 the resources at his disposal to help that nominee with 0:59:17.200 --> 0:59:19.320 the apparatus he's currently paying for and saying he's going 0:59:19.360 --> 0:59:23.720 to pay for it through the election. He'd do it 0:59:23.800 --> 0:59:26.280 for Mayor Pete, he'd do it for Cloba Shar, He'd 0:59:26.280 --> 0:59:29.400 definitely do it for Biden. I don't know if he 0:59:29.400 --> 0:59:32.800 would do it for Bernie. And think about the message 0:59:32.840 --> 0:59:34.720 that that would say. Think about the civil war that 0:59:34.800 --> 0:59:37.640 could be ignited within the Democratic Party if that happens 0:59:37.640 --> 0:59:40.840 to be the case. So I'm telling you Bloomberg is 0:59:40.840 --> 0:59:42.920 an X factor. I don't mean that doesn't mean that 0:59:43.800 --> 0:59:47.120 we that mean we don't know, But Bloomberg is an 0:59:47.360 --> 0:59:49.280 X factor in all of this. When you have that 0:59:49.440 --> 0:59:54.920 much money to spend and that much organizational savvy, who 0:59:55.000 --> 1:00:01.040 knows you're in the freedom This is the Buck Sex 1:00:01.160 --> 1:00:06.640 and Show podcast. All right, I want to move on 1:00:06.760 --> 1:00:08.560 from mayor Mike. But this, this is a broader thing. 1:00:08.640 --> 1:00:10.720 This isn't really about the election. Get the guy's worth 1:00:10.760 --> 1:00:13.000 tens of billions of dollars forty to fifty billions. What 1:00:13.200 --> 1:00:17.040 you just see is the estimate. And he's asked, how 1:00:17.080 --> 1:00:21.400 do you become super successful? Sometimes sometimes people give advice 1:00:21.480 --> 1:00:22.920 on how to become successful, and I hear it and 1:00:22.960 --> 1:00:26.880 I go, oh, that's really good. That really that is 1:00:26.920 --> 1:00:28.840 something that will stay with me. And I don't know, 1:00:28.840 --> 1:00:30.000 and one day, maybe, if you want, I'll tell you 1:00:30.040 --> 1:00:32.440 the things that I've I've learned from experience I think 1:00:32.480 --> 1:00:35.800 are important and I wish I had known when I 1:00:35.920 --> 1:00:38.440 was younger. But maybe you have to experience it to 1:00:38.480 --> 1:00:42.240 really appreciate how important certain things are. But here's Bloomberg's 1:00:42.240 --> 1:00:45.280 advice to workers on how to become successful. Play nineteen 1:00:45.920 --> 1:00:48.280 smarter than anybody else, but I can out work you. 1:00:49.040 --> 1:00:53.320 And my key to success for you or for anybody 1:00:53.360 --> 1:00:55.760 else's make sure you're the first one in there every 1:00:55.840 --> 1:00:58.520 day and the last one. Believe, don't ever take a 1:00:58.640 --> 1:01:01.400 lunch break or go to the bathroom. You keep work, 1:01:01.480 --> 1:01:03.520 and you never know when that opportunity is going to 1:01:03.560 --> 1:01:07.080 come along. Now you might say, Buck, how could you 1:01:07.160 --> 1:01:09.440 argue with Boomberg? You're not worth you know, forty billion 1:01:09.440 --> 1:01:11.440 dollars whatever. But I got a few reasons. I think 1:01:11.480 --> 1:01:14.240 that's horrible advice he's giving it. I think that's absolutely 1:01:14.360 --> 1:01:16.520 garbage advice. And I could also point to a lot 1:01:16.560 --> 1:01:19.120 of other people who would say, yeah, no, that are 1:01:19.240 --> 1:01:22.080 very successful, that are that are self made, were a 1:01:22.160 --> 1:01:25.000 ton of money. You know, I can tell you. I 1:01:25.040 --> 1:01:27.840 can tell you this. You know, Elon Musk isn't worth 1:01:27.920 --> 1:01:30.680 what he's worth because he never leaves his desk and 1:01:30.800 --> 1:01:33.800 never goes for a potty break and has sandwiches brought 1:01:33.840 --> 1:01:36.560 to him and has no human interaction like no, no, no, 1:01:36.880 --> 1:01:40.600 no no. This is a little bit of the self 1:01:40.680 --> 1:01:45.600 indulgent boomer fantasy work ethic that comes out sometimes where 1:01:45.640 --> 1:01:48.800 it's oh, I'm the I'm the president this company because 1:01:48.800 --> 1:01:51.440 all right, I went to work in the snow up 1:01:51.480 --> 1:01:53.840 to my neck. You know, I had no shoes and 1:01:53.960 --> 1:01:56.640 I wear bala Okay, I mean still like some people 1:01:56.720 --> 1:01:59.480 have amazing stories of success and going through trials and tribulations, 1:01:59.560 --> 1:02:02.760 But the truth is that in a lot of positions, 1:02:03.240 --> 1:02:05.360 you don't need to show up and just be there 1:02:05.400 --> 1:02:08.040 all the time and never do anything but work. You 1:02:08.120 --> 1:02:09.920 want to be thinking about your next move. You want 1:02:09.920 --> 1:02:11.880 to be thinking about are you growing, are you becoming 1:02:12.280 --> 1:02:14.680 more valuable in this role? Should you find another role 1:02:14.720 --> 1:02:17.000 in the company, should you find another job? How are 1:02:17.040 --> 1:02:19.840 you expending your energy? Is what you're doing useful or 1:02:19.920 --> 1:02:21.520 is it easy for anyone else to replicate it. If 1:02:21.520 --> 1:02:23.360 it's easy for anyone else to replicate it, just doing 1:02:23.400 --> 1:02:26.800 that repetition does not actually advance your career or your value. 1:02:28.520 --> 1:02:30.280 I've said before on this show that some of the 1:02:30.360 --> 1:02:32.360 best advice I was given when I was thinking about 1:02:32.640 --> 1:02:34.880 transitioning out of government work was by a long time, 1:02:35.040 --> 1:02:38.120 very smart guy in the government who said, no one 1:02:38.160 --> 1:02:39.800 to go all out of no one to do the minimum, 1:02:40.840 --> 1:02:43.440 meaning no one. You know, when the smart thing to do. 1:02:43.920 --> 1:02:46.760 It's never smart to shirk work. Look bad, not me, 1:02:46.880 --> 1:02:48.960 trouble again. It's never a good idea. But there are 1:02:49.080 --> 1:02:51.400 times when what you want to do is do exactly 1:02:51.440 --> 1:02:53.320 what is required of you and nothing else, because you 1:02:53.400 --> 1:02:55.560 need to be thinking about other things, conserving your energy 1:02:55.640 --> 1:02:59.080 for other things. That's a reality, especially in the modern workplace, 1:02:59.160 --> 1:03:02.560 where you know, companies come and go, you got startups. 1:03:02.600 --> 1:03:04.880 I mean, the culture has entirely changed. There's so much 1:03:04.960 --> 1:03:10.320 more dynamism and necessary flexibility in careers of people that 1:03:10.360 --> 1:03:13.720 are still building today. You know, to show up and 1:03:13.960 --> 1:03:16.840 just be at a place and be there for thirty years. 1:03:17.480 --> 1:03:19.560 That that doesn't really exist anymore because a lot of 1:03:19.600 --> 1:03:21.280 places that you're going to show up and aren't gonna 1:03:21.280 --> 1:03:24.880 exist in thirty years. There are you know, they're boom 1:03:24.920 --> 1:03:27.520 and bus cycles. You've got companies that are valued at 1:03:27.520 --> 1:03:29.440 billions of dollars that don't even make a profit. I 1:03:29.520 --> 1:03:32.400 mean a lot of stuff going on here. But I 1:03:32.480 --> 1:03:33.840 gotta say, I mean, far be it for me to 1:03:34.680 --> 1:03:40.000 give you different advice than than Mike Bloomberg. But I 1:03:40.440 --> 1:03:44.280 am doing that because he's wrong. The secret to success 1:03:44.400 --> 1:03:46.960 is not never take a potty break and never never 1:03:47.080 --> 1:03:49.920 go to lunch with anybody and be Yeah, I mean, 1:03:49.920 --> 1:03:51.760 you gotta put in long hours, but okay, you can 1:03:51.800 --> 1:03:53.560 put a long hour. If you put in long hours 1:03:53.600 --> 1:03:55.680 at the factory assembly line, and that's all you ever 1:03:55.720 --> 1:03:57.760 think about is putting in long hours, you'll get some 1:03:57.880 --> 1:04:00.120 mot But are you going to become a manager? Are 1:04:00.120 --> 1:04:01.560 you going to be Are you gonna become the guy 1:04:01.640 --> 1:04:05.120 that runs the factory one day? Probably not. You got 1:04:05.200 --> 1:04:07.800 to think about how you become that person. You have 1:04:07.920 --> 1:04:10.320 to be smart about your labor, As I said, no 1:04:10.440 --> 1:04:13.520 one to do the minimum and be strategic about your time. 1:04:13.640 --> 1:04:15.600 Time is the one thing you have that you can 1:04:15.680 --> 1:04:18.600 never get more of. You have to be thinking about 1:04:18.680 --> 1:04:21.840 maximizing your usage of time, and that also means energy 1:04:21.880 --> 1:04:25.480 and effort. If you go all out at everything you're going, 1:04:25.640 --> 1:04:28.600 you're not going to be successful and the most important things. 1:04:29.640 --> 1:04:33.440 So I mean, this is one reason why I always appreciate, 1:04:33.520 --> 1:04:36.400 for example, when people will even ask me, hey, you know, 1:04:36.600 --> 1:04:40.440 can you yeah, I just started, I just started a podcast. 1:04:40.560 --> 1:04:43.200 I'd love to have you on as a guest the answers. 1:04:43.200 --> 1:04:44.800 I would love to be a guest off anybody who's 1:04:44.800 --> 1:04:46.440 ever listened to me, and I really appreciate it, and 1:04:46.480 --> 1:04:48.640 it's very sweet and it means a lot. But if 1:04:48.680 --> 1:04:51.120 I said yes to every one of those requests, I 1:04:51.160 --> 1:04:53.880 would be doing that all the time, and that then 1:04:54.120 --> 1:04:56.520 takes up energy and time that I need to be 1:04:56.600 --> 1:04:58.680 spending on doing this show for all of you. I mean, 1:04:58.720 --> 1:05:01.280 that's just a small personal exam but that's this is 1:05:01.320 --> 1:05:03.280 why I just can't do. I can't people ask me 1:05:03.400 --> 1:05:05.240 to come speak at at a at a group or 1:05:05.280 --> 1:05:07.520 a club, and if I could, I'd love to. But 1:05:07.760 --> 1:05:09.040 you know, by the time I got into plane and 1:05:09.120 --> 1:05:11.480 I go and you know, this is why there has 1:05:11.520 --> 1:05:13.360 to be a business proposition attached to it. You know, 1:05:13.440 --> 1:05:16.280 this is why people have speaker honorariums and things like that, 1:05:16.320 --> 1:05:18.280 because otherwise you're just flying around on your own time 1:05:18.320 --> 1:05:20.000 for free talking to people. And I love the people 1:05:20.040 --> 1:05:22.920 that I got to talk to, But I gotta keep 1:05:22.960 --> 1:05:25.280 the Freedom Hunt running. We gotta, you know, producer Brandon 1:05:25.360 --> 1:05:27.200 needs a new pair of shoes. We can't. We gotta 1:05:27.280 --> 1:05:32.600 run a business over here. So protecting your time is 1:05:32.760 --> 1:05:36.080 very important. And there are too many places where you 1:05:36.160 --> 1:05:38.960 can waste time in endeavors that are not advancing you, 1:05:39.680 --> 1:05:42.800 and especially if they're ground If you're getting ground down 1:05:42.880 --> 1:05:45.680 to the point where you're burning out, that's not that 1:05:45.760 --> 1:05:47.840 does not make you stronger, that's making you less effective 1:05:47.880 --> 1:05:49.840 in what you're doing. So I just think Bloomberg's it's 1:05:49.840 --> 1:05:52.200 just such a simplistic Oh I'm a billionaire now and 1:05:52.320 --> 1:05:56.400 I worked harder than everybody else. Bloomberg used leverage, he 1:05:56.600 --> 1:06:00.760 used connections, and he used savvy. Okay, he wasn't making 1:06:00.840 --> 1:06:03.760 iPhones with his fingers faster than everybody else, you know 1:06:03.800 --> 1:06:05.720 what I mean. I mean, obviously wasn't making iPhones at all, 1:06:05.760 --> 1:06:07.120 But you see what I'm saying. It wasn't like, oh 1:06:07.200 --> 1:06:10.400 he just outworked everybody, No, he had he was in 1:06:10.440 --> 1:06:13.000 the right place at the right time. He leveraged connections 1:06:13.160 --> 1:06:15.840 and he thought about the big picture. You should be 1:06:15.920 --> 1:06:17.800 doing the same in your own life with whatever you do. 1:06:18.280 --> 1:06:21.240 Don't take Bloomberg's just work until you pass out advice, 1:06:21.600 --> 1:06:27.440 bad advice. You're in the freedom hud. This is the 1:06:27.560 --> 1:06:35.200 Buck Sexton Show podcast. I don't know. I was disciplinary 1:06:35.280 --> 1:06:39.400 actions being considered to guess Colonel Vaneman, and they'd have 1:06:39.480 --> 1:06:41.800 to be based on the conduct. But I do believe 1:06:42.360 --> 1:06:44.720 that it is appropriate to find out who can whistle 1:06:44.760 --> 1:06:47.320 glory is if you have a very concerned but there 1:06:47.360 --> 1:06:53.040 are people who basically having political agenda and acted on it. 1:06:53.120 --> 1:06:58.360 And we'll see holt me until we find out. Lindsey 1:06:58.400 --> 1:06:59.960 Graham talks a good game and a lot of things. 1:07:01.960 --> 1:07:04.240 I think that Lindsey Graham, though, has become a little 1:07:04.280 --> 1:07:07.600 too focused on punditry on some of the cable shows 1:07:07.640 --> 1:07:12.000 and not focused enough on follow through as a powerful 1:07:12.040 --> 1:07:15.480 member of the United States Senate. I think he has 1:07:15.480 --> 1:07:17.960 gotten a little a little too addicted to the cameras 1:07:18.040 --> 1:07:21.240 and not enough. You know, you think of someone like Cocaine, Mitch. 1:07:21.320 --> 1:07:24.800 Cocaine Mitch is getting the job done. Yeah, he gives 1:07:24.800 --> 1:07:26.720 speeches and stuff too. But you don't see Cocaine Mitch 1:07:26.880 --> 1:07:32.520 on TV. You know, it feels like every night Lindsey Graham, 1:07:32.520 --> 1:07:33.880 and I feel like he's on It does a lot 1:07:33.960 --> 1:07:35.960 of TV where he said where he says things that 1:07:36.040 --> 1:07:38.600 I like. It's not that, although not always but generally 1:07:38.720 --> 1:07:40.560 saying things I agree with. But then when he says 1:07:40.600 --> 1:07:42.400 things like, Okay, we gotta find out who whistle blowers are? 1:07:42.480 --> 1:07:43.720 What are you doing to find out who the whistle 1:07:43.720 --> 1:07:46.160 blowers you call on for hearing? You're gonna do anything 1:07:46.160 --> 1:07:50.520 about this? Rand Paul is one of the very few 1:07:51.800 --> 1:07:54.480 who has been willing to really take action on this. 1:07:55.680 --> 1:07:57.000 Do we have by the way, do we have rand 1:07:57.080 --> 1:07:59.360 speech on the So I want to play this streak 1:07:59.360 --> 1:08:02.439 because I remember Rampaul wanted to ask during the Senate trial, 1:08:02.920 --> 1:08:04.880 and this matters on a bunch of levels. This is 1:08:04.920 --> 1:08:09.000 a much bigger story than I think people recognize right 1:08:09.080 --> 1:08:10.959 now because the media, for a whole bunch of reasons, 1:08:11.000 --> 1:08:15.600 I doesn't want to touch it. Rand Paul wanted to 1:08:15.720 --> 1:08:18.599 ask a question as we all remember if you watch, 1:08:18.680 --> 1:08:20.320 and I shouldn't say we all remember, it was really 1:08:20.360 --> 1:08:22.120 boring and who remembers really any of it. At this point, 1:08:22.120 --> 1:08:23.680 I told you everyone's going to forget the Senate trial 1:08:23.760 --> 1:08:27.320 even happened, and we basically have. But Rampaul wanted to 1:08:27.360 --> 1:08:32.040 ask a question, and Chief Justice Roberts refused to read 1:08:32.080 --> 1:08:37.960 off the question, which was bizarre. I mean, we're living 1:08:38.040 --> 1:08:42.920 in this very Orwellian or perhaps kafka esque, or maybe 1:08:42.960 --> 1:08:45.400 it's Orwellian Kafka askue. I mean, we're living in this 1:08:46.400 --> 1:08:50.280 bizarre world of we can all kind of know something, 1:08:52.080 --> 1:08:55.479 but we can't admit that we know it or talk 1:08:55.560 --> 1:08:57.560 about that we know it, even though it is of 1:08:58.080 --> 1:09:02.920 major public concern. It's about as weird as when I 1:09:03.240 --> 1:09:06.679 remember for a while, and the federal government probably still 1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:09.479 holds this ass as its rule. But the federal government's 1:09:09.479 --> 1:09:14.040 position on classified information was, even if something was in 1:09:14.120 --> 1:09:19.120 the public domain and universally believed to be accurate, you 1:09:19.280 --> 1:09:22.519 could theoretically be held legally liable if you had a 1:09:22.600 --> 1:09:26.960 clearance for speaking about it or sharing it with anybody. Right. 1:09:27.280 --> 1:09:29.760 So there was a time when the drone program very 1:09:29.840 --> 1:09:33.080 very secret, where drone strikes and strikes happening. The New 1:09:33.160 --> 1:09:37.240 York Times was running graphics with, you know, pictures of 1:09:37.360 --> 1:09:40.680 drones talking about their how far they can fly, the 1:09:41.200 --> 1:09:44.400 hell fire missiles they follow, where the strikes are occurring, 1:09:44.439 --> 1:09:47.000 and all this stuff, and we all would talk about it, 1:09:47.160 --> 1:09:49.960 and Obama would make jokes about it about drones, but 1:09:50.560 --> 1:09:53.200 it was still the official position of the United States government. Well, 1:09:53.200 --> 1:09:54.680 if you if you have a clearance and you know 1:09:54.720 --> 1:09:56.719 about drones, you talk about drones, you get in trouble. 1:09:57.840 --> 1:10:02.080 What Now, that doesn't really generally happen because it's so dumb, 1:10:02.160 --> 1:10:04.439 But it's a weird policy that they have, and that 1:10:04.680 --> 1:10:06.640 was the official policy. I can tell you that it 1:10:06.760 --> 1:10:09.240 still is. I believe the official policy that even if 1:10:09.280 --> 1:10:13.080 something is in the public domain and universally believed to 1:10:13.240 --> 1:10:16.679 be true, if it is classified information and the government 1:10:16.760 --> 1:10:20.080 has not officially declassified it, you could be considered to 1:10:20.160 --> 1:10:22.400 be in violation of a law merely for sharing it. 1:10:23.280 --> 1:10:25.160 If it's on the front page of the newspaper, but 1:10:25.280 --> 1:10:27.479 you send it to somebody and you have a clearance, 1:10:27.600 --> 1:10:32.680 you might be in trouble. So that reminds me of 1:10:32.680 --> 1:10:34.439 what's going on with the whistleblower, which is we're living 1:10:34.520 --> 1:10:40.360 in this it's just inexcusable. It's unsettling. Really, we all 1:10:40.439 --> 1:10:43.560 know Eric Sharamella is the name of the guy that, 1:10:43.640 --> 1:10:46.439 according to major media outlets, is the whistleblower. And it 1:10:46.520 --> 1:10:48.560 all lines up and we all understand that this is 1:10:49.960 --> 1:10:54.200 what probably happened, but news organizations act like there is 1:10:54.240 --> 1:10:58.120 a statutory protection for this guy that does not exist. 1:11:00.000 --> 1:11:01.560 And I also want to know why is why the 1:11:01.600 --> 1:11:04.960 Inspector General has not received pressure and just he's allowed 1:11:05.000 --> 1:11:07.320 to release the name. We are we've already heard a name, 1:11:07.439 --> 1:11:11.120 release the name or say that this is not the person. 1:11:11.280 --> 1:11:13.519 Then so at least we have some clarity. But we 1:11:13.600 --> 1:11:15.439 should not be in this. Oh we know, but we 1:11:15.600 --> 1:11:19.439 can't know place. Why don't I bring this up now? Well? 1:11:19.479 --> 1:11:22.439 Because rand Paul asked that question or the Senate trial, 1:11:22.920 --> 1:11:27.439 Supreme Court Justice Roberts refused to read that question, and 1:11:29.280 --> 1:11:31.040 Rand Paul then took to the floor of the Senate 1:11:31.080 --> 1:11:35.880 where he has there's just immunity for what you say 1:11:36.000 --> 1:11:37.559 on the floor of the Senate, like you can set 1:11:37.600 --> 1:11:39.800 you cannot be sued, you can you can say what 1:11:39.920 --> 1:11:41.759 you want to say on the floor of the Senate's 1:11:41.800 --> 1:11:44.840 why when you know Harry Reid said Mitt Romney hadn't 1:11:44.840 --> 1:11:47.120 paid taxes in ten years, just a blatant lie, a 1:11:47.200 --> 1:11:50.880 slander sat on the floor of the Senate. He used 1:11:50.920 --> 1:11:56.599 the floor of the Senate as an invincible slander machine. 1:11:57.120 --> 1:11:59.720 That's that's Harry read. That's the old Democrats Senate majority leader. 1:11:59.720 --> 1:12:01.720 While they tell you to care so much about institutions, 1:12:02.600 --> 1:12:08.800 laughable garbage. But here is what rand Paul said on 1:12:08.960 --> 1:12:11.200 the floor of the Senate. Please play at producer Brandon 1:12:11.600 --> 1:12:14.519 my exact question. We'll put it up here. Are you 1:12:14.720 --> 1:12:19.760 aware that the House Intelligence Committee staffer Sean Misco had 1:12:19.800 --> 1:12:23.599 a close relationship with Eric Chieramella while at the National 1:12:23.720 --> 1:12:27.439 Security Council together. Are you aware and how would you 1:12:27.520 --> 1:12:32.120 respond to reports that Chieramella and Misco may have worked 1:12:32.200 --> 1:12:36.759 together to plot impeaching the president before there were formal 1:12:36.880 --> 1:12:47.599 House impeachment proceedings. That is now banned from YouTube YouTube 1:12:47.640 --> 1:12:49.320 which is owned by Google, which is owned by parent 1:12:49.400 --> 1:12:53.679 company Alphabet, one of the most powerful institutions in the world. 1:12:53.760 --> 1:12:57.519 Now there are private companies, many of them now that 1:12:57.600 --> 1:13:00.719 have larger that would be if they were a national economy, 1:13:00.960 --> 1:13:03.760 are larger than any but like the top fifty, you know, 1:13:03.880 --> 1:13:05.960 global economies of countries. I mean, there are a whole 1:13:05.960 --> 1:13:10.040 bunch of companies that have reached that point. So in 1:13:10.120 --> 1:13:14.040 a sense, financially, they're almost countries unto themselves and Google people. 1:13:14.160 --> 1:13:16.760 It's technically Alphabet owns Google, but it's just a whole. 1:13:16.920 --> 1:13:20.200 It's Google is Google. Good job, Buck, Google is Google. 1:13:20.240 --> 1:13:25.439 Google it. They have decided internally that they will not 1:13:25.680 --> 1:13:30.719 allow any mention of the whistleblower. Now that's important because 1:13:30.800 --> 1:13:34.680 people use YouTube for information increasingly. In fact, we're going 1:13:34.720 --> 1:13:37.680 to be building out for this show a YouTube a 1:13:37.800 --> 1:13:39.720 YouTube channel, so those of you that are used to 1:13:39.760 --> 1:13:42.160 watching it on well, those you rather that are used 1:13:42.160 --> 1:13:43.760 to listening, you'll be able to watch it on video 1:13:43.800 --> 1:13:45.880 on playback whenever you want, because we videotape the show 1:13:45.960 --> 1:13:48.560 now every day on Pluto channel to forty eight, the 1:13:48.760 --> 1:13:52.040 first which you should also be watching live download the 1:13:52.040 --> 1:13:57.280 Pluto TV app. You'll see me giving quizzical looks to 1:13:57.320 --> 1:13:59.439 producer Mark when he starts to yell at me for 1:13:59.760 --> 1:14:02.000 being quote late. I keep explaining to him that talent 1:14:02.160 --> 1:14:04.639 is not late. Talent arrives. When it arrives, Producer Mark, 1:14:04.760 --> 1:14:07.920 and then he says, who calls you talent? I'm like, wow, 1:14:08.200 --> 1:14:10.960 you know, he's so salty. He's so salty that producer Mark, 1:14:11.000 --> 1:14:13.800 you know, sometimes sometimes he makes me sad. I'm just kidding. 1:14:13.800 --> 1:14:17.240 He's great, but he keeps me in check, which is 1:14:17.240 --> 1:14:19.240 always important. Not that I really need that. Though he 1:14:19.360 --> 1:14:21.360 makes fun of me for having a big head. Brandon. 1:14:21.520 --> 1:14:23.240 Then he's like, no, no, no, no, I don't mean 1:14:23.400 --> 1:14:25.519 like your ego. I just mean you have a big head. 1:14:25.560 --> 1:14:27.200 And I'm like, oh, okay, thank you. It's true. I 1:14:27.240 --> 1:14:31.200 do have a very a very large cranium. So YouTube 1:14:32.280 --> 1:14:36.280 banned the mention of Eric Scharamela and there's no real 1:14:36.320 --> 1:14:38.920 explanation as to why they say it violates their terms 1:14:38.960 --> 1:14:42.799 of service or something. What is going on here, my friends? 1:14:43.680 --> 1:14:46.640 And it makes me think that there must be a 1:14:46.800 --> 1:14:50.600 belief and among people who are powerful and connected that 1:14:50.960 --> 1:14:55.360 somehow they've got something else. There's some next act here 1:14:56.080 --> 1:15:00.840 of this stage of the soft coup against Trump where 1:15:00.880 --> 1:15:03.000 they're gonna you know, I don't know. I can't tell 1:15:03.000 --> 1:15:04.560 you what it is. I'm not in on the conspiracy. 1:15:05.040 --> 1:15:07.840 But why are they still so hell bent on making 1:15:07.920 --> 1:15:12.400 sure that Charamela's name is not on major digital platforms 1:15:12.800 --> 1:15:18.839 and banning it. What is that there's no statutory protection 1:15:18.920 --> 1:15:22.160 whatsoever any news outlet can say his name whenever they want. 1:15:23.160 --> 1:15:26.400 It's he's now a limited limited interest or limited usage 1:15:26.439 --> 1:15:30.559 public figure. He was central to one of the biggest 1:15:30.600 --> 1:15:34.080 news stories in the country, and we can't say his name. 1:15:34.160 --> 1:15:36.719 They're gonna, they're gonna. This is like in the Soviet 1:15:36.840 --> 1:15:38.680 Union when they would disappear people and then they'd go 1:15:38.760 --> 1:15:41.320 back in the official records and they would use a 1:15:41.439 --> 1:15:45.280 razorblade to remove to actually physically remove the name from records, 1:15:45.320 --> 1:15:50.120 like to cut it out of pages. What are we 1:15:50.240 --> 1:15:54.240 doing here? And the fact that journalists do not see 1:15:54.320 --> 1:15:58.600 this as an outrage just goes to show you they're activists. 1:15:59.280 --> 1:16:03.560 They're activists, they want an outcome. They show up to 1:16:03.640 --> 1:16:05.720 work every day, they look at all these facts and 1:16:05.800 --> 1:16:08.360 all this information that's coming in, and they try to 1:16:08.479 --> 1:16:11.200 think of this as how do how do we tell 1:16:11.280 --> 1:16:15.439 people's stories that will interest them that bash or hurt Trump. 1:16:16.640 --> 1:16:19.599 That is the mission at CNN, that is the mission 1:16:19.720 --> 1:16:21.400 at the New York Times, it is the mission at 1:16:21.400 --> 1:16:25.320 the Washington Post. All this information coming in, great, Let's 1:16:25.320 --> 1:16:27.040 tell people stuff, but let's make sure at the end 1:16:27.040 --> 1:16:28.840 of the day that they get a steady dosage of 1:16:29.200 --> 1:16:31.160 Trump is terrible. He needs to be out of office, 1:16:32.160 --> 1:16:33.800 and anything we do to get him out of office 1:16:33.880 --> 1:16:41.080 is justified. Okay, well, let's just understand right now that 1:16:42.720 --> 1:16:45.360 that's not what they say they're doing. This is a 1:16:45.479 --> 1:16:48.360 departure from what journalists actually believe that they're up to 1:16:48.439 --> 1:16:51.760 on any given day. But more than that, how could 1:16:51.800 --> 1:16:55.880 they suppress the basic mission that they say they're doing, 1:16:55.920 --> 1:16:58.280 which is presenting information in the public and not chase 1:16:58.360 --> 1:17:00.880 down whether or not this guy is the whistleblower. They're 1:17:00.960 --> 1:17:04.360 treating him. They're treating the whistleblower as though he is 1:17:04.680 --> 1:17:07.560 a some kind of like an employee who would be 1:17:07.640 --> 1:17:10.240 in danger. This is what they all The person would 1:17:10.240 --> 1:17:13.640 be in danger? How in danger? How from who? We 1:17:13.720 --> 1:17:16.240 already think it's this guy. And if that's going to 1:17:16.320 --> 1:17:19.160 be the standard, then any public figure or sorry, any 1:17:19.240 --> 1:17:22.040 person who becomes a public figure through the news, you 1:17:22.080 --> 1:17:25.479 could say you're putting them in danger. They didn't worry 1:17:25.479 --> 1:17:27.880 about the danger they put the Commington High School kids 1:17:27.960 --> 1:17:32.040 in when they splashed their photo and call them racists 1:17:32.920 --> 1:17:35.360 and worry about that at all. These people are frauds, 1:17:36.280 --> 1:17:38.439 absolute frauds. It's also one of the reasons I would 1:17:38.439 --> 1:17:40.320 note people have picked up on this. You don't really 1:17:40.360 --> 1:17:46.000 see debate anymore on television, You really don't. And it's because, 1:17:47.240 --> 1:17:50.240 I mean, this is look, the left dominates media, news 1:17:50.320 --> 1:17:52.760 media in particular. Still the left still has about a 1:17:52.840 --> 1:17:57.000 ninety percent share of platforms, and it's it's outrageous, but 1:17:57.080 --> 1:17:59.840 that's the way that it is. But they also know 1:18:00.360 --> 1:18:02.879 that they've gone too far, and a lot of leftists, 1:18:02.880 --> 1:18:05.040 a lot of these different shows have just gotten kind 1:18:05.080 --> 1:18:08.960 of fat, happy and lazy with feeding a steady diet 1:18:09.600 --> 1:18:13.320 of lib propaganda to their audiences. And the people feeding 1:18:13.360 --> 1:18:16.000 that propaganda, they just want this cycle to continue because 1:18:16.040 --> 1:18:18.160 they agree with it. But also they're making money off 1:18:18.200 --> 1:18:20.160 of it, and it's fine, and you know, they know. 1:18:20.600 --> 1:18:25.280 You know, Rachel Mattaw, who's a leading left wing commentator, 1:18:26.280 --> 1:18:30.480 would not be able against somebody who understands the Russia collusion, 1:18:31.360 --> 1:18:34.040 the truth about the Russia collusion situation and watched a 1:18:34.120 --> 1:18:36.200 few of her monologue, wouldn't be able to defend what 1:18:36.240 --> 1:18:38.639 her show is done. She would look bad. It would 1:18:38.640 --> 1:18:41.439 really damage her brand. It would look like she's a fraud. 1:18:42.120 --> 1:18:44.000 So they can't have the in same with Joe Scarborough. 1:18:44.040 --> 1:18:45.560 Joe Scarboro, s oh is you're going to rust to 1:18:45.600 --> 1:18:49.320 Joe Scarboroughs and moron. They can't actually engage the other 1:18:49.360 --> 1:18:52.080 side anymore. People keep talking about the polarization, But I 1:18:52.200 --> 1:18:55.800 understand the polarization the media from the perspective of there 1:18:55.840 --> 1:19:00.600 are so many rich cash cows at these different organizations 1:19:01.000 --> 1:19:04.360 who if they subjected themselves to scrutiny from someone who's 1:19:04.360 --> 1:19:07.439 adept on the right, they would end up looking foolish 1:19:07.840 --> 1:19:10.400 and then the mythology of the brilliance of this person 1:19:10.439 --> 1:19:14.479 would disappear. Have you have you ever seen have you 1:19:14.479 --> 1:19:16.720 ever seen Anderson Cooper debate somebody who knows what they're 1:19:16.720 --> 1:19:18.760 talking about on any of this? Have you ever seen 1:19:18.880 --> 1:19:22.400 Jake Tapper get smoked by somebody who actually knows what 1:19:22.479 --> 1:19:24.479 they're talking about on this a volunteer for that anytime? 1:19:24.560 --> 1:19:28.000 By the way, any of any of these people at 1:19:28.120 --> 1:19:31.720 MSNBC or at ABC News which is really just ABC News, 1:19:31.720 --> 1:19:34.240 at NBC News team, at Chuck Todd, he's there, big 1:19:34.560 --> 1:19:37.880 political guy. Do you ever see them debate people? No, 1:19:38.000 --> 1:19:39.439 they do the whole like, oh, I'm just an anchor 1:19:39.479 --> 1:19:42.880 asking questions, and they try to skew the questions to 1:19:43.000 --> 1:19:45.840 please their audience. But they'd never really say this is 1:19:45.880 --> 1:19:48.600 what I believe. Let's argue about this and it's me. 1:19:49.000 --> 1:19:51.640 It's not I'm I'm just a journalist, man, I'm just 1:19:51.680 --> 1:19:56.120 asking questions. It's no I will defend this position. They're frauds. 1:19:57.120 --> 1:20:01.800 They're just frauds.

This morning, the President congratulated 1:20:12.120 --> 1:20:15.479 the Attorney General amazingly enough for taking charge of the case. 1:20:16.800 --> 1:20:20.400 The President ran against the swamp in Washington, a place 1:20:20.479 --> 1:20:23.639 where the game is rigged by the powerful to benefit 1:20:23.720 --> 1:20:28.600 them personally, I asked, my fellow Americans, what is more swampy, 1:20:29.320 --> 1:20:32.479 What is more feted? What is more stinking than the 1:20:32.560 --> 1:20:36.799 most powerful person in the country literally changing the rules 1:20:37.280 --> 1:20:42.639 to benefit a crony guilty of breaking the law. As 1:20:42.680 --> 1:20:47.799 a result, I have formally requested that the Inspector General 1:20:47.920 --> 1:20:52.720 of the Justice Department investigate this matter immediately, and this 1:20:52.920 --> 1:20:57.599 morning I call on Judiciary Committee Chairman Graham to convene 1:20:57.640 --> 1:21:00.920 an emergency hearing of the Judiciary to do the same, 1:21:01.520 --> 1:21:07.400 to conduct oversight and hold hearings. Oh yes, Schumer is 1:21:07.439 --> 1:21:12.280 so serious about defending the Constitution. They found their new 1:21:12.320 --> 1:21:16.480 point of hysteria. Oh we need more investigations, more investigations. 1:21:16.760 --> 1:21:18.559 That this is the only thing they ever say, Oh, 1:21:18.640 --> 1:21:20.280 you got to investigate this thing that Trump did. We 1:21:20.280 --> 1:21:22.960 got to investigate that thing that Trump did. And if 1:21:23.000 --> 1:21:28.920 Trump opposed it, he's obstructing Congress. Is people are They're 1:21:29.000 --> 1:21:32.200 just it's absurd, it really is, And you know it's 1:21:32.600 --> 1:21:34.920 I worry sometimes that their plan is just their mania, 1:21:35.320 --> 1:21:38.800 their psychosis gives them a kind of superhuman focus and 1:21:38.920 --> 1:21:41.519 energy on things that aren't true, and that they're just 1:21:41.600 --> 1:21:44.439 gonna wear us down, that that's really the plan. They're 1:21:44.439 --> 1:21:46.400 just going to grind us down with their lunacy to 1:21:46.439 --> 1:21:48.880 the point where like, fine, anything, investigate them, do whatever 1:21:48.920 --> 1:21:51.719 you gotta do. Just stop. I mean, I'm not gonna 1:21:51.760 --> 1:21:53.559 get to that point. Don't worry. I like fighting libs. 1:21:54.160 --> 1:21:58.120 But President Trump certainly understands what's gone on here, and 1:21:58.200 --> 1:22:00.439 he's taken all the right lessons from this. Prouce Brandon 1:22:00.479 --> 1:22:05.240 play twelves. Did you learn from impeachment? That the Democrats 1:22:05.360 --> 1:22:08.200 are crooked? They've got to let of crooked things going, 1:22:08.880 --> 1:22:13.080 that they're vicious, that they shouldn't have brought impeachment anything 1:22:13.240 --> 1:22:15.600 that by Paul, numbers are ten points higher because of 1:22:15.720 --> 1:22:19.600 fake news like NBC, which reports the news very inaccurately, 1:22:19.680 --> 1:22:25.519 probably more inaccurately than CNN, if that's possible, MSDNC and 1:22:25.720 --> 1:22:28.800 you're MS and if you take a look at NBC now, 1:22:28.800 --> 1:22:33.120 I think they're among the most dishonest reporters of the news. Yep, 1:22:34.080 --> 1:22:37.080 they are dishonest. And it's good that the President says it. 1:22:37.720 --> 1:22:39.280 I think that his quote war on the media is 1:22:39.320 --> 1:22:40.879 one of the best things, one of the best features 1:22:40.960 --> 1:22:43.040 of this presidency. I completely agree with him. I think 1:22:43.080 --> 1:22:47.560 he's spot on with this stuff. And this is the 1:22:47.920 --> 1:22:51.200 this is the lesson of the impeachment. That the Democrats 1:22:51.320 --> 1:22:54.559 are are filthy. They'll just play as dirty as they 1:22:54.640 --> 1:22:57.680 can and they never change, and they don't care, and 1:22:57.960 --> 1:23:01.479 it's all just it's all just a Paul, It's something 1:23:01.520 --> 1:23:04.439 that we should really look at and going forward and 1:23:04.720 --> 1:23:08.840 remind ourselves, remind ourselves of whenever we start to think, 1:23:08.840 --> 1:23:10.840 why are we being too hard on the crazy dams? 1:23:10.920 --> 1:23:12.320 Are we being too hard on them? Which I don't 1:23:12.320 --> 1:23:14.400 think any of you really stay up late at night 1:23:14.439 --> 1:23:20.360 worried about that, but it's certainly a possibility. We've got 1:23:20.439 --> 1:23:22.439 some other things that I wanted to get into. We've 1:23:22.520 --> 1:23:27.000 got a story out of UVA that it's just a 1:23:27.120 --> 1:23:29.280 reminder of what's going on in these college campuses that 1:23:30.120 --> 1:23:31.640 you're gonna have to you're gonna have to hear it, 1:23:31.720 --> 1:23:34.160 and then well then we'll talk about it. Thanks for 1:23:34.280 --> 1:23:37.960 listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe 1:23:38.000 --> 1:23:41.240 on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you 1:23:41.320 --> 1:23:44.880 get your podcasts. Maybe a while since you've been on 1:23:44.920 --> 1:23:47.200 a college campus, or perhaps you're listening to the show 1:23:47.600 --> 1:23:50.559 on a college campus. Maybe you're actually just finding out 1:23:50.760 --> 1:23:52.640 what do they give? When do they get the I 1:23:52.680 --> 1:23:55.960 guess earlier decision letters went back to people who are 1:23:55.960 --> 1:23:59.360 seniors in high school last month or in January, I 1:23:59.400 --> 1:24:02.400 mean if December January, but anyway, I don't know when 1:24:02.400 --> 1:24:04.960 the last time was you're on a college campus. But 1:24:06.479 --> 1:24:09.120 there's a lot of stuff going on that I think 1:24:09.160 --> 1:24:13.479 would surprise some of the older generations, some of the boomers, 1:24:15.040 --> 1:24:17.760 And one of them is that there are these well 1:24:18.120 --> 1:24:19.400 I don't know if they have this at every school. 1:24:19.439 --> 1:24:23.320 At Amirs, we had something called an affinity house, and 1:24:23.560 --> 1:24:26.240 we had houses that were considered cultural houses, but there 1:24:26.280 --> 1:24:31.080 were cultural houses based on a certain ethnicity. So there 1:24:31.280 --> 1:24:35.520 was like the Black Student Union House or the Latino 1:24:36.120 --> 1:24:43.519 Students Association House, and there was this I don't know 1:24:43.520 --> 1:24:45.120 how to really describe it other than in the Black 1:24:45.200 --> 1:24:47.680 the Black Student Union House. Everybody except for I think 1:24:47.720 --> 1:24:50.040 one person when I was in college in that house 1:24:50.160 --> 1:24:52.560 was black, and it was one of the nicest. It 1:24:52.680 --> 1:24:55.240 was actually the nicest dorm because it was really only 1:24:55.320 --> 1:24:58.840 on campus housing Roman school on campus, and you know, 1:24:58.920 --> 1:25:01.000 there was a Latino house, and there's some other I forget, 1:25:01.040 --> 1:25:03.439 there's some others too, and there's like an International student's house. 1:25:03.439 --> 1:25:09.080 So it's not just racial this racial separation that we 1:25:09.200 --> 1:25:12.240 could discuss, but it's a thing that goes on in 1:25:12.280 --> 1:25:16.200 these campuses. And it also, you know, you also have 1:25:16.280 --> 1:25:18.840 conversations about safe space and how it creates a safe 1:25:18.880 --> 1:25:20.920 space for people who feel like maybe they're you know, 1:25:21.040 --> 1:25:24.160 not as included in campus activities, who come from certain backgrounds. 1:25:24.200 --> 1:25:28.440 And there's all the usual social justice rhetoric and multiculturalism 1:25:28.520 --> 1:25:31.760 and all this stuff. Okay, fine to me. I think 1:25:31.800 --> 1:25:33.640 that when you have a campus of people that is 1:25:33.680 --> 1:25:35.719 inherently already a very diverse place, and you're all sitting 1:25:35.720 --> 1:25:37.360 in the same lunch rooms, going to the same parties, 1:25:37.400 --> 1:25:40.160 going to going to the same classes. And then to 1:25:40.280 --> 1:25:44.400 have your living quarters separated by ethnicity in any way, 1:25:45.320 --> 1:25:49.360 even if it's not ironclad rule, but it's kind of 1:25:49.400 --> 1:25:53.080 the rule. I think that's odd. I think that that's 1:25:53.280 --> 1:25:56.200 counter the purposes that the college says that it's supposed 1:25:56.240 --> 1:26:00.760 to be engaged in, which is bringing people together and inclusiveness. 1:26:00.840 --> 1:26:04.160 And well, here's an example of what happens when that 1:26:04.400 --> 1:26:08.120 when that rhetoric and that mentality is able to continue 1:26:08.200 --> 1:26:11.200 and grow on campuses. You have a female African American 1:26:11.280 --> 1:26:16.880 student at UVA who is in a multiculturalism center at UVA, 1:26:18.520 --> 1:26:22.040 and she gets up and gives this speech that I 1:26:22.120 --> 1:26:27.360 think you should all here. Please play clip five Public 1:26:27.520 --> 1:26:32.200 service announcement. Excuse me if y'all didn't know this is 1:26:32.240 --> 1:26:36.120 the MSc, And frankly, there's just too many white people 1:26:36.160 --> 1:26:37.920 in here, and this is a space for people of color, 1:26:38.240 --> 1:26:40.439 So just be really cognizant of the space that you're 1:26:40.479 --> 1:26:43.840 taking up, because it does make some of us POC's 1:26:44.160 --> 1:26:46.240 uncomfortable when you see too many white people in here. 1:26:46.280 --> 1:26:48.880 It's only been open for four days. And frankly, there's 1:26:48.960 --> 1:26:51.400 the whole university for a lot he ought to be at, 1:26:51.760 --> 1:26:54.519 and there's very few spaces for us. So keep that 1:26:54.640 --> 1:26:59.280 in mind. Thank you. People are clapping for that, by 1:26:59.320 --> 1:27:02.519 the way. You fing so you're of an African American 1:27:02.560 --> 1:27:08.479 female at UVA, in elite school that feels she feels 1:27:08.479 --> 1:27:12.200 comfortable telling a room full of people that there are 1:27:12.240 --> 1:27:15.759 too many white people in here, and you white people 1:27:16.360 --> 1:27:20.200 have many other places on campus to be and we 1:27:20.560 --> 1:27:25.320 meaning I suppose African Americans have very few places that 1:27:25.479 --> 1:27:28.960 are for us. I don't know what she's because they 1:27:29.000 --> 1:27:31.639 can go anywhere on campus. Right, there's there's no separation 1:27:31.720 --> 1:27:35.080 on campus. But now we've reached a point where and 1:27:35.200 --> 1:27:37.080 this is a real thing, and it was true when 1:27:37.120 --> 1:27:39.120 I was in college, and it's I'm sure even more 1:27:39.200 --> 1:27:48.160 true now where inclusiveness means everyone means that non white 1:27:48.240 --> 1:27:53.599 students are allowed and welcome, of course, anywhere on campus, 1:27:53.760 --> 1:27:56.200 in any club, in any house and anything. I mean, 1:27:56.320 --> 1:28:00.000 if you try to challenge that, you'd be branded a racist. 1:28:00.120 --> 1:28:04.160 Some kicked off campus immediately. But there are places on 1:28:04.280 --> 1:28:08.600 campus where white students are not welcome or even not 1:28:08.760 --> 1:28:14.200 really allowed to be or go. And people would say, oh, 1:28:14.240 --> 1:28:15.720 well that's not true, and I'd say, okay, well, I 1:28:15.800 --> 1:28:17.719 remember I was an Airmhurst. It was called the Charles 1:28:17.960 --> 1:28:22.720 Drew House and you had to apply, and somehow the 1:28:22.800 --> 1:28:26.080 Charles Drew House, which was also the like Black student 1:28:26.240 --> 1:28:32.599 Union meeting house, was almost entirely, if not entirely black 1:28:32.640 --> 1:28:35.640 students when I was there. I mean there might have 1:28:35.680 --> 1:28:37.200 been one or two students who were not black, but 1:28:37.360 --> 1:28:39.720 it was very it was very, very few, and I 1:28:39.880 --> 1:28:43.519 just okay, so are here. Here's a better way to 1:28:43.560 --> 1:28:47.439 put it. Would I have been welcomed and felt comfortable 1:28:47.479 --> 1:28:49.960 applying to live in this house which was campus housing? 1:28:50.280 --> 1:28:53.479 It's not a private association off camp campus housing. Would 1:28:53.520 --> 1:28:57.800 I have been welcome applying to that house? People would 1:28:58.200 --> 1:28:59.640 this is where they also get They would say, oh, 1:28:59.640 --> 1:29:01.560 of course, this book, this is whatever's college is. Of 1:29:01.640 --> 1:29:04.960 course you were well, no, no, I am not okay, 1:29:05.280 --> 1:29:07.240 I was there. People would have been like, why are you? 1:29:07.640 --> 1:29:10.479 They would have taken the opinion, many students would have 1:29:10.560 --> 1:29:12.280 taken the opinion that this young woman has, which is 1:29:12.320 --> 1:29:14.679 why you know you have so many places on campus? 1:29:14.720 --> 1:29:16.320 Why are you trying to take us a space meant 1:29:16.360 --> 1:29:21.800 for she says a POC, a person of color. The 1:29:21.920 --> 1:29:25.240 left defends this stuff. You know they you know, if 1:29:25.280 --> 1:29:27.880 you try to to nail them down on something and say, well, 1:29:27.920 --> 1:29:29.519 hold on a second, is this okay? Oh, but that's 1:29:29.560 --> 1:29:32.640 not really what But ultimately it is what happens, and 1:29:32.800 --> 1:29:35.880 they are okay with it, and they can pretend not 1:29:36.080 --> 1:29:38.639 to be when people are shining a light on the situation. 1:29:39.080 --> 1:29:40.400 But we all know at the end of the day 1:29:40.479 --> 1:29:45.160 that this is somehow wokeness and social justice means that 1:29:46.160 --> 1:29:49.040 it's a problem for white students to be in certain 1:29:49.080 --> 1:29:51.719 places on campus that are not meant for white students, 1:29:51.800 --> 1:29:53.720 or where there can't be too many, as this woman says, 1:29:53.720 --> 1:29:55.600 white students. And here's how we can prove this, this 1:29:55.760 --> 1:29:59.720 theory out. Do you think that this student at UV 1:30:00.840 --> 1:30:05.240 received any kind of even a disciplinary warning. Do you 1:30:05.360 --> 1:30:07.920 think that the deans or any the administrators or anyone 1:30:07.960 --> 1:30:11.400 brought her aside. I was like, hey, probably not a 1:30:11.479 --> 1:30:13.360 cool thing to say. There are just too many white 1:30:13.439 --> 1:30:19.240 people in this college, in this college structure, the multiculturalism center. 1:30:19.720 --> 1:30:21.640 Probably not the way you really want a fraid, No, 1:30:22.360 --> 1:30:24.320 I be willing to bet that no one said anything 1:30:24.360 --> 1:30:28.000 to her about this. Now, is there a double standard work? Okay, 1:30:28.080 --> 1:30:32.720 let's play out the experiment. What would happen if a 1:30:33.920 --> 1:30:40.599 student stood up and said, hey, guys, there are too 1:30:40.720 --> 1:30:44.080 many you know, if a white student stood up and 1:30:44.160 --> 1:30:49.400 said that there were too many Pacific Islanders here, and 1:30:49.520 --> 1:30:54.040 we feel like the Pacific Islander population in this multiculturalism 1:30:54.160 --> 1:30:56.920 center is crowding out the rest of the people that 1:30:57.000 --> 1:31:00.200 we want here, so we need less Pacific Islanders in 1:31:00.280 --> 1:31:03.240 the multiculturalism center. What do you think would be the response, 1:31:03.479 --> 1:31:05.280 assuming there are a lot of Pacific houndors in the center. 1:31:05.320 --> 1:31:08.720 I'm obviously trying to, you know, take some of the 1:31:09.560 --> 1:31:12.920 take some of the heat out of this analogy, this conversation. 1:31:14.240 --> 1:31:15.639 What do you think would happen to the white students? 1:31:15.680 --> 1:31:19.120 Do you think people would say that's great, Yeah, yeah, 1:31:19.280 --> 1:31:21.160 you're you're allowed. You're allowed to say there's too many 1:31:21.240 --> 1:31:26.400 of X ethnicity in this place. Good call. That that 1:31:26.520 --> 1:31:29.680 white student would be run off campus so fast they 1:31:29.720 --> 1:31:32.200 wouldn't even have to wait for the dean to bring 1:31:32.280 --> 1:31:35.360 any discipline. We all know this. Now we have to 1:31:35.400 --> 1:31:37.080 get into why is the one okay and the other not? 1:31:38.040 --> 1:31:40.240 Why does the campus allow one and the other would 1:31:40.240 --> 1:31:46.960 be would be strictly forbidden. We know the answer, right. 1:31:47.000 --> 1:31:49.760 We know that the left now has adopted different rules 1:31:49.800 --> 1:31:52.479 for different people based upon skin color. We know this 1:31:52.800 --> 1:31:56.200 also because Elizabeth Warren even says that explicitly running for 1:31:56.240 --> 1:31:58.960 president the United States, she said, quote, we need race 1:31:59.439 --> 1:32:02.720 conscious laws. Well, on college campus is they have what 1:32:02.840 --> 1:32:07.920 you could consider race conscious expectations of conduct. There are 1:32:08.000 --> 1:32:11.040 things that white students cannot say that minority students can say, 1:32:11.800 --> 1:32:18.479 and we're constantly told. I would note that the opposite 1:32:18.600 --> 1:32:20.439 is true, that you know, white students have all this 1:32:20.560 --> 1:32:24.040 privilege on campus, the only privileges that I'm aware of 1:32:24.160 --> 1:32:26.839 any students having. And it's not even just about racial 1:32:27.000 --> 1:32:29.439 or ethnic minorities, but just in general, it's true about 1:32:29.479 --> 1:32:32.000 gender issues. There's a lot of stuff. The only people 1:32:32.120 --> 1:32:35.240 on a college campus who have no special privilege as 1:32:35.280 --> 1:32:42.000 a matter of administrative rule or administrative ruling, white male students. 1:32:42.800 --> 1:32:45.160 It's just on a college campus, your white male students, 1:32:45.200 --> 1:32:49.479 you are you. You know there is nothing you're allowed 1:32:49.479 --> 1:32:51.240 to say that nobody else is allowed to say. That 1:32:51.400 --> 1:32:55.600 much is for sure, so I think worth keeping them 1:32:55.600 --> 1:33:00.200 in mind. And also is true about gender situations as well. Right, 1:33:00.200 --> 1:33:04.240 there are certain gender specific that there are up there 1:33:04.240 --> 1:33:08.200 are resources set up for, um, you know, transgender students 1:33:08.240 --> 1:33:10.880 on campus that are specifically the transgender community. They're resources 1:33:10.920 --> 1:33:13.600 set up for you know. And you could say, all right, 1:33:13.680 --> 1:33:16.640 well there are resources, but also does that affect the 1:33:16.720 --> 1:33:21.960 way the school administers let's say justice during disciplinary hearings? 1:33:22.000 --> 1:33:24.840 And the answer, by the way, is yes, does it administer. 1:33:25.520 --> 1:33:28.160 Here's here's a thing that that I had a friend 1:33:28.200 --> 1:33:33.400 who was a student advisor for these these trials in college, 1:33:33.400 --> 1:33:36.960 and chief said that there was oh, this is just 1:33:37.360 --> 1:33:39.160 this is what I was told by a female fellow 1:33:39.240 --> 1:33:45.680 classmate that the disciplinary the disciplinary hearings for any allegation 1:33:45.840 --> 1:33:50.839 of sexual misconduct that was heterosexual, we're always more severe. 1:33:51.560 --> 1:33:55.639 The consequences were more severe everyone took than disciplinary hearings 1:33:55.680 --> 1:33:58.400 where there was the same sex conduct involved. Which does which? 1:33:58.439 --> 1:34:02.040 Which does happen to? You know? There are these biases 1:34:02.160 --> 1:34:05.400 that come up, which I think it's very interesting that 1:34:05.800 --> 1:34:08.400 this doesn't really get much talked about. But anyway, back 1:34:08.439 --> 1:34:13.400 to the UVA the UVA speech here, this is there 1:34:13.479 --> 1:34:15.800 the end result of where we are on campuses now, 1:34:15.840 --> 1:34:18.640 where we now have we now have a sense that 1:34:19.400 --> 1:34:24.960 a self selection process, to have students in some ways 1:34:25.160 --> 1:34:30.959 segregate themselves as minorities from other students is somehow positive 1:34:31.040 --> 1:34:34.040 and empowering. And I think that's a huge mistake. And 1:34:34.200 --> 1:34:36.960 I think that the Left is very wrong on this, 1:34:37.160 --> 1:34:42.080 just like they are on pretty much everything else. You're 1:34:42.160 --> 1:34:44.840 in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and 1:34:44.920 --> 1:34:52.200 Show podcast. It's a huge fight breaking out online right now. 1:34:53.280 --> 1:34:58.720 It's an intense, no holds barred discussion, one that I'm 1:34:58.760 --> 1:35:02.240 sure many of you have a strong opinions about. I 1:35:02.320 --> 1:35:04.160 think we always have to maintain our respect for one 1:35:04.200 --> 1:35:07.240 another because we need to be able to have the 1:35:07.360 --> 1:35:09.280 tough discussions here in the Freedom Hunt. We need to 1:35:09.360 --> 1:35:12.040 be able to share our thoughts and ideas without thinking 1:35:12.080 --> 1:35:14.639 that we are alienating our brothers and sisters in freedom 1:35:14.720 --> 1:35:20.439 here in the Hut. Which brings me to the debate 1:35:20.600 --> 1:35:26.479 over reclining in an airline seat. There's a video that 1:35:26.600 --> 1:35:30.720 has gone viral, and this video shows a man who 1:35:31.920 --> 1:35:34.280 so it's a woman in the front seat and a 1:35:34.360 --> 1:35:37.040 man behind her in a seat that cannot recline because 1:35:37.040 --> 1:35:38.439 it's the last seat on the plane, which is the 1:35:38.439 --> 1:35:41.360 worst seat on the plan. As we all know, so 1:35:41.520 --> 1:35:43.720 he can't recline. The woman in front of in front 1:35:43.760 --> 1:35:47.840 of him has reclined fully, and he has decided to 1:35:48.000 --> 1:35:54.040 sit there and punch just sort of not gently but 1:35:54.600 --> 1:35:57.599 not fiercely, just just sort of repeatedly punch the back 1:35:57.720 --> 1:36:00.200 of her seat. Just punch, punch, punch, punch. She's just 1:36:00.240 --> 1:36:02.800 gonna keep punching her seat. And she takes out of 1:36:02.880 --> 1:36:06.720 video camera and just put this online. And people are 1:36:08.360 --> 1:36:12.600 fierce in their decision about whether this whether should you 1:36:12.680 --> 1:36:15.320 be reclining or not? Does reclining make you a bad 1:36:15.439 --> 1:36:17.880 person on an airline seat? Or should everyone just accept 1:36:18.760 --> 1:36:22.360 where they are on accept the reality that seats that 1:36:22.479 --> 1:36:24.920 can recline will recline, and that you're allowed to do this, 1:36:25.040 --> 1:36:27.439 the airlines allow you to do it. And if it's 1:36:27.600 --> 1:36:29.160 you know, if you happen to be seven feet tall 1:36:29.240 --> 1:36:32.320 and you're flying economy, you know tough. I want to know, 1:36:32.400 --> 1:36:34.720 first and foremost, what does producer Brandon think about this? 1:36:34.920 --> 1:36:38.040 Are you a recliner or not? I want to know 1:36:38.120 --> 1:36:41.559 what the preliminary conversation was. Did he just start punching? 1:36:41.920 --> 1:36:44.800 Did he ask her first? Because that's that's a big 1:36:45.720 --> 1:36:47.000 So you want to go from you want to go 1:36:47.080 --> 1:36:48.960 for the manners component of this first to see I 1:36:49.080 --> 1:36:52.719 think it's all about manners. Yeah, because you are aware 1:36:52.800 --> 1:36:55.720 that the person behind you can't recline, but at the 1:36:55.760 --> 1:36:58.360 same time, you want to feel comfortable. I know I 1:36:58.400 --> 1:37:00.320 can't go all they can't go all the way back, 1:37:00.479 --> 1:37:03.400 but maybe just a couple of centimeters you can negotiate. 1:37:03.560 --> 1:37:06.000 So you're you're like, I'm a third way guy on 1:37:06.080 --> 1:37:09.360 this one. You think you think that reclining if you 1:37:09.720 --> 1:37:13.200 are considered about how much you recline and take into 1:37:13.439 --> 1:37:17.479 consideration the possibility that you maybe don't recline if the 1:37:17.560 --> 1:37:20.120 person behind you really ask you politely, that's kind of 1:37:20.120 --> 1:37:22.040 where you are. Yeah, so so you're an ad hoc 1:37:22.120 --> 1:37:24.960 You're an ad hoc recliner. Yes, yeah, you know you're 1:37:24.960 --> 1:37:27.240 an a la cart like sometimes you recline, sometimes you 1:37:27.280 --> 1:37:31.840 won't agreed. Yes, yes, see, I just think I I 1:37:31.960 --> 1:37:34.120 look at a No. I hate when someone reclines on 1:37:34.600 --> 1:37:37.120 I've been there. I don't like when someone reclines on 1:37:37.200 --> 1:37:39.760 the airline seat because I fly, I fly coach. I 1:37:39.800 --> 1:37:42.720 don't have any money. Uh, you know, I don't like 1:37:42.880 --> 1:37:46.280 it when they when they recline and I'm I got 1:37:46.320 --> 1:37:48.080 the scene in and it's really no one likes that, 1:37:49.680 --> 1:37:52.040 especially on a short domestic flight. It's like, do you 1:37:52.120 --> 1:37:54.200 really need to recline for the forty minutes from the 1:37:54.320 --> 1:37:57.920 for the flight from you know, Topeka to tally well, 1:37:59.280 --> 1:38:03.240 you know a lot of very Topeka to what will 1:38:03.240 --> 1:38:04.760 be a forty minute flight from there. This is a 1:38:04.840 --> 1:38:09.160 fun geography test Oklahoma City. That's probably about right, probably 1:38:09.240 --> 1:38:11.280 less than a forty minute flight. But anyway, do you 1:38:11.320 --> 1:38:13.439 really need to recline for a short flight the one 1:38:13.479 --> 1:38:15.320 hour flight from New York to DC that one? I 1:38:15.439 --> 1:38:20.040 know the answers, no, okay, So I do think that 1:38:20.120 --> 1:38:22.000 we should be reasonable about these things. You know, there's 1:38:22.080 --> 1:38:25.679 there's nuance here, there's many layers. But people get into 1:38:25.840 --> 1:38:29.000 huge fights about this. On planes, people get very upset. 1:38:29.520 --> 1:38:33.280 Airline airplane travel is designed almost to bring out the 1:38:33.360 --> 1:38:36.120 worst in human beings and put us on edge and 1:38:37.200 --> 1:38:40.080 make it so uncomfortable. And I just wish plane you know, 1:38:40.120 --> 1:38:44.200 I wish airlines weren't making money off of our discomfort, 1:38:44.280 --> 1:38:47.759 but they are. These airlines, these these low cost carriers 1:38:47.760 --> 1:38:50.240 in particular, they make money off of giving you the 1:38:50.320 --> 1:38:54.640 bare minimum, and people generally all the studies have shown this. 1:38:55.080 --> 1:38:57.479 People look at what is the cheapest air fare I 1:38:57.560 --> 1:38:59.880 can get. They want to pay the least amount of money, 1:39:00.320 --> 1:39:03.680 and because that tends to be the overwhelming choice that 1:39:03.760 --> 1:39:07.439 the consumer makes, they you know, we end up flying 1:39:07.840 --> 1:39:14.640 in very uncomfortable circumstances. I mean planes have actually airline 1:39:14.640 --> 1:39:18.040 travels one of the few parts of modern American life 1:39:18.080 --> 1:39:23.160 that it's gotten worse now. Seats have gotten smaller and narrower, 1:39:23.240 --> 1:39:26.080 the cushioning has gotten thinner. The only improvement really is 1:39:26.120 --> 1:39:27.640 that now you have a lot of planes where they 1:39:27.680 --> 1:39:30.599 have your own entertainment system. But I rarely even use 1:39:30.680 --> 1:39:33.640 that thing. And I'm reading a book because I'm a 1:39:33.680 --> 1:39:36.560 civilized fellow who likes to learn, you know, I'm not 1:39:36.640 --> 1:39:38.479 somebody sits there like, hey, I'm gonna you know, it's 1:39:38.479 --> 1:39:41.320 actually not true. I watched like two movies last time 1:39:41.320 --> 1:39:46.080 went to California. I watched Hustlers, which was I'm appalled by. 1:39:46.280 --> 1:39:48.000 And then there was another one that I watched I 1:39:48.080 --> 1:39:53.080 can't remember it is now. Oh, I watched Angel Has Fallen, 1:39:53.160 --> 1:39:55.160 which is kind of like White House Down, I think, 1:39:55.280 --> 1:40:00.000 but it's the really, really bad movie. People are gonna 1:40:00.000 --> 1:40:01.680 get bad at me because it's an action movie and 1:40:01.920 --> 1:40:04.680 there's Gerard Butler. Gerard Butler was like, Hey, I'm a 1:40:04.760 --> 1:40:07.840 Secret Service guy. I'm British, but I think the Secret 1:40:07.880 --> 1:40:10.760 Service guys talk like this, so I'm gonna have kind 1:40:10.800 --> 1:40:13.280 of an accent like that too. I'm like, he's a 1:40:13.439 --> 1:40:16.160 you know, apparently if you're in the Secret Service, you're 1:40:17.840 --> 1:40:20.280 you know, like a New York gangster from the twenties 1:40:20.400 --> 1:40:22.280 or something. I don't know. I always I don't think 1:40:22.280 --> 1:40:25.680 British people good do good do good American accents. I 1:40:25.800 --> 1:40:28.640 think they always stink at it. But the only thing 1:40:28.680 --> 1:40:30.800 that drives me crazier than the well, there are a 1:40:30.800 --> 1:40:32.479 lot of things drive me crazy is you know, whistle 1:40:32.600 --> 1:40:34.400 some proucer Mark likes to turn on a whistling noise 1:40:34.479 --> 1:40:37.080 to just set me off. Thank you, Brandon Forcy Brandon 1:40:37.280 --> 1:40:40.439 if producer Marcus salty, producer Brandon is sweet. You know, 1:40:40.560 --> 1:40:43.200 he doesn't he doesn't, he doesn't turn on the whistling noise. 1:40:43.240 --> 1:40:46.000 He doesn't do that to me. But the only thing 1:40:46.040 --> 1:40:47.600 that you know, I ride the subway so much here 1:40:47.600 --> 1:40:49.680 in New York City, and you know, I'm trying to 1:40:50.200 --> 1:40:52.639 do last minute prep for the show and pay attention 1:40:52.640 --> 1:40:57.680 to what's going on. Why do people think in crowded 1:40:57.840 --> 1:41:02.400 public places there is any setting for your phones notifications 1:41:02.800 --> 1:41:09.200 that is acceptable other than vibrate. I do not want 1:41:09.240 --> 1:41:12.120 to hear the ding ding ding. I don't want to 1:41:12.160 --> 1:41:14.800 hear it, not when you get text messages, not when 1:41:14.800 --> 1:41:18.920 you get emails. A long time ago in the government, 1:41:18.920 --> 1:41:20.840 actually I shared an office of somebody who left on 1:41:21.320 --> 1:41:24.800 a ding noise on her computer for emails, and I 1:41:24.880 --> 1:41:26.400 had to tell her. I was like, I'm going to 1:41:26.479 --> 1:41:28.680 throw us both out the window unless you turn that. 1:41:28.760 --> 1:41:33.200 You know, ding ding drove me nuts. Noise pollutions very 1:41:33.280 --> 1:41:35.880 very bad. You know, all people the way that people 1:41:35.920 --> 1:41:38.320 feel about climate change, I feel the way about noise pollution. 1:41:38.760 --> 1:41:42.120 I hate unnecessary excessive notes. Don't even get me started 1:41:42.120 --> 1:41:44.400 on the backup beeping noise that doesn't save any lives 1:41:44.400 --> 1:41:47.080 and drives us all crazy. It's from the seventies people. 1:41:47.120 --> 1:41:52.920 It's a stupid technology. It's a dumb idea. Thanks for 1:41:53.040 --> 1:41:56.720 listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts.

I'm just stalling because I lost the page. 1:42:32.439 --> 1:42:37.880 There we go, all right, Dennis writes in Buck, your 1:42:38.000 --> 1:42:41.960 segment on the uninformed, low information voter was absolutely brilliant. 1:42:42.320 --> 1:42:45.520 I know. DEM's just as you described, and it's mind boggling, frustrating, 1:42:45.600 --> 1:42:49.360 if not downright infuriating, to know they will go vote 1:42:49.360 --> 1:42:52.400 for someone for one reason, and one reason only, because 1:42:52.479 --> 1:42:56.439 that candidate has D behind their name, not realizing what 1:42:56.640 --> 1:43:00.880 negative effect it could potentially have on their lives. I've 1:43:01.040 --> 1:43:03.160 often said the most critical issue in the United States 1:43:03.280 --> 1:43:06.160 is the uninformed voter and citizen. If only we could 1:43:06.200 --> 1:43:08.920 get them all to tune into you shields high. Dennis, 1:43:08.960 --> 1:43:11.840 you are a wise man and I appreciate your note 1:43:11.880 --> 1:43:15.360 for Roll Call very much. Yeah. Look, you know, the 1:43:15.920 --> 1:43:17.840 biggest problem with democracy is you get a lot of 1:43:17.920 --> 1:43:22.559 dumb people get to vote. So that's not a good thing. 1:43:23.280 --> 1:43:30.680 This is why, if I remember back in Plato's Republic, right, 1:43:30.760 --> 1:43:32.960 the best form of government would be to have a 1:43:33.000 --> 1:43:36.639 philosopher king, essentially a person of a perfect a person 1:43:36.800 --> 1:43:39.719 of the highest wisdom who can make all the decisions, 1:43:40.760 --> 1:43:43.200 because just saying everybody gets to make decisions doesn't really 1:43:43.240 --> 1:43:45.600 mean that the decisions are going to be good. So 1:43:46.439 --> 1:43:52.160 we see that all the time. Hello New York City, Martin. 1:43:54.120 --> 1:43:57.599 I can't say I'm truly a religious oss listener, though 1:43:57.640 --> 1:43:59.639 I did hit about a third of the weekend shows. 1:44:00.640 --> 1:44:04.640 I I find your show much more entertaining and informative 1:44:04.680 --> 1:44:07.400 as a single host than when you are fighting for 1:44:07.479 --> 1:44:09.920 your voice within a group. I am now and have 1:44:10.040 --> 1:44:13.400 been a consistent podcast listener. You had a guest speaker 1:44:13.560 --> 1:44:16.799 about Tesla and the stock on your February eleventh podcast. 1:44:17.520 --> 1:44:21.839 Investor enthusiasm driving up the Tesla stock price is reacting 1:44:22.000 --> 1:44:24.439 only to the company turning a profit for the first 1:44:24.560 --> 1:44:29.840 quarter ever. Elon Musk and his companies have been given 1:44:29.920 --> 1:44:32.839 two point five times as much as the Iranian Mullah's 1:44:32.880 --> 1:44:36.320 in terms of government support four point nine billion. The 1:44:36.479 --> 1:44:39.560 average household income of a Tesla Model X owner is 1:44:39.680 --> 1:44:44.040 five hundred and three thousand dollars and the Tesla X 1:44:44.080 --> 1:44:46.560 model rather sorry, and the average household income of a 1:44:46.640 --> 1:44:50.320 Tesla Model S owner is two hundred and sixty seven 1:44:50.439 --> 1:44:55.400 thousand dollars. Do Tesla and Tesla buyers really need subsidies. 1:44:56.040 --> 1:44:57.640 I'd like to see what would happened to the E 1:44:57.840 --> 1:45:01.960 vehicle industry, and specifically Tesla if the government piggybank stopped 1:45:02.000 --> 1:45:05.599 shaking out quarters. The gentleman guest, his name is Whitney. Tilson, 1:45:05.680 --> 1:45:08.840 by the way, also made a remark about GM employees 1:45:08.840 --> 1:45:12.519 preferring to work at Tesla. He's obviously an investment manager 1:45:12.560 --> 1:45:15.799 and not an automotive engineer. Take a look on LinkedIn 1:45:15.920 --> 1:45:19.519 and see how many Big three four GMFCA engineers work 1:45:19.560 --> 1:45:22.879 at Tesla. Tesla is not the draw that an industry 1:45:22.920 --> 1:45:26.559 outsider might think. If I'm going to purchase an e vehicle, 1:45:26.880 --> 1:45:28.960 I'll wait for the company with a sales and service 1:45:29.000 --> 1:45:32.200 center down the street to sell me one shields high Wow. 1:45:32.400 --> 1:45:36.920 Martin Martin had thoughts on this one. Martin was not 1:45:37.040 --> 1:45:39.840 messing around, you know, Martin. I'll try to get I'll 1:45:39.840 --> 1:45:43.479 try to get your note to Whitney and see if 1:45:43.800 --> 1:45:46.720 he has any response comments on this. Yeah, he is 1:45:46.720 --> 1:45:51.519 an investment manager, he's not an engineer. Glenn. I am 1:45:51.640 --> 1:45:55.880 thinking limiting federal employment to fifteen years might be a 1:45:55.920 --> 1:45:58.519 good way to set the mood for congressional term limits. 1:45:58.880 --> 1:46:01.160 You have to term limit the bureaucracy if you intend 1:46:01.200 --> 1:46:07.040 to term limit elected officials anyway. UM, I don't know 1:46:07.600 --> 1:46:11.480 how that would really change anything, my friend. I appreciate 1:46:11.600 --> 1:46:14.400 you thinking on this one, But why would making a 1:46:14.479 --> 1:46:17.720 fifteen fifteen year limit for and by the way, they 1:46:17.760 --> 1:46:21.360 get full pensions at that point. Um, I don't really 1:46:21.439 --> 1:46:23.080 I don't really see the benefit in saying you could 1:46:23.120 --> 1:46:24.720 only if you've already worked for the civil service for 1:46:24.760 --> 1:46:26.920 fifteen years. Why not let them finish out their twenty 1:46:28.439 --> 1:46:30.000 I don't know. I don't really see that, but I 1:46:30.320 --> 1:46:34.439 appreciate the thought. Um, maybe I'm missing something. See, I 1:46:34.520 --> 1:46:36.960 like to admit that maybe I'm missing something, because it's 1:46:37.000 --> 1:46:42.560 always possible. It's rare, but it is possible. Oh, I 1:46:42.680 --> 1:46:44.360 told you. I told you, guys. I talked to you 1:46:44.400 --> 1:46:47.120 about steak because some of you probably are going to 1:46:47.160 --> 1:46:49.880 be making steak for Valentine's Day, for that significant other, 1:46:50.040 --> 1:46:55.519 for that wife, boyfriend, husband, girlfriend, all that stuff. A 1:46:55.600 --> 1:47:00.240 few things about about steak. Um, First of all, you 1:47:00.240 --> 1:47:02.080 gotta get a good cut of meat. You gotta get 1:47:02.080 --> 1:47:03.760 a good cut of meat. You can make a good 1:47:03.800 --> 1:47:06.519 steak with bad meat. So those of you that are thinking, oh, 1:47:06.600 --> 1:47:09.719 I'm gonna go get the go to the bargain basement 1:47:09.880 --> 1:47:13.439 bin at the local grocery store and pull out the 1:47:13.479 --> 1:47:15.160 steak that only has a little bit of like blue 1:47:15.200 --> 1:47:19.439 fuzz around. No no, no, no, get good meat. Okay, 1:47:19.520 --> 1:47:21.120 start with that. If you have a butcher near you 1:47:21.200 --> 1:47:24.439 go to butcher's. Butcher's will they love meat? Because they're butchers, 1:47:24.720 --> 1:47:27.920 they will man seeyeh, I got I got thoughts. You 1:47:28.000 --> 1:47:29.920 go to them and you say, hey, I want to 1:47:30.040 --> 1:47:31.840 I want a special cut, you know, ask them for 1:47:31.880 --> 1:47:34.280 a butcher's steak. By the way, butchers steak they call 1:47:34.320 --> 1:47:36.120 it that because the butcher usually keeps it for himself 1:47:36.120 --> 1:47:39.400 because it's so delicious, but you don't. It's not that expensive, 1:47:39.840 --> 1:47:41.600 so that they don't care as much about selling it 1:47:41.640 --> 1:47:43.200 so they can. The butchers will keep them for themselves. 1:47:43.240 --> 1:47:47.360 Butchers steak is a great cut. I'm a ribby person. 1:47:47.800 --> 1:47:50.519 You could always do Porterhouse if you want, and you know, 1:47:50.520 --> 1:47:55.840 a porterhouse Porterhouse also comes with a filet in it 1:47:55.960 --> 1:47:57.600 with the t bone. You got the part of it 1:47:57.680 --> 1:48:00.519 that's kind of a filet, which is always nice. I've 1:48:00.560 --> 1:48:02.439 never really been a New York strip person, but if 1:48:02.479 --> 1:48:04.760 you want to go that route, you certainly can and 1:48:05.040 --> 1:48:07.080 Filet mignon. If you're gonna do bear Filet mignon you 1:48:07.160 --> 1:48:08.800 really want, that's the meat that you really want to 1:48:08.840 --> 1:48:11.600 go rare on in my opinion, to medium rare, but 1:48:12.240 --> 1:48:14.280 air more on the rare side with filet mignon. If 1:48:14.320 --> 1:48:18.200 you're going for internal temperature, get him meat thermometer. I thought, like, 1:48:18.320 --> 1:48:21.000 who use a who uses a meat thermometer? I was 1:48:21.120 --> 1:48:24.280 very Get a meat thermometer? You know, you're you're you're 1:48:24.360 --> 1:48:26.640 not special, you're not able. You don't have like some 1:48:27.040 --> 1:48:29.040 X men's skill where you can tell by touching the 1:48:29.120 --> 1:48:32.479 meat what three inches below your finger the temperature is 1:48:32.520 --> 1:48:36.120 internally you don't know. Get a meat thermometer. That would 1:48:36.120 --> 1:48:38.639 be the most boring X men ever. It's like everyone 1:48:38.720 --> 1:48:42.120 stand aside. I will tell you if this is rare 1:48:42.320 --> 1:48:45.240 or medium rare. Although he would be the most useful 1:48:45.400 --> 1:48:49.639 X men in a realistic sense, even sounds like maybe 1:48:49.680 --> 1:48:55.000 a villain's name. The meat thermometer. The meat thermometer. Uh 1:48:56.120 --> 1:49:00.360 that I have thoughts. So what else I need to 1:49:00.360 --> 1:49:03.240 tell you about steak? Salt it right before you put 1:49:03.320 --> 1:49:06.320 it on the grill, or know or before you sear 1:49:06.400 --> 1:49:11.160 it or salt it well before, and then you always 1:49:11.160 --> 1:49:13.000 want to pat it dry as well because the moisture 1:49:13.080 --> 1:49:16.120 hurts the searing. Trying to think what else is based 1:49:16.160 --> 1:49:17.680 with butter at the end you think you don't need it, 1:49:17.760 --> 1:49:19.800 it'll make it better based. And also throw a little 1:49:19.840 --> 1:49:22.160 bit of herbs in that butter as it's kind of boiling. 1:49:22.240 --> 1:49:24.280 As it's essentially boiling up because you're throw in a 1:49:24.360 --> 1:49:27.760 hot pan, it's gonna cook really quickly, tilt the pan 1:49:27.840 --> 1:49:30.040 a little the side, and then and use the basting. 1:49:30.280 --> 1:49:32.519 Use a spoon to baste that butter. Rover, it's very 1:49:32.600 --> 1:49:34.920 very good. Trying to think what else needs to happen 1:49:35.000 --> 1:49:37.360 here for you to resting. Every abways says you gotta 1:49:37.400 --> 1:49:39.400 let it rest for at least five to ten minutes afterwards, 1:49:40.840 --> 1:49:42.599 I'm just gonna say it. I've done the rest steak 1:49:42.640 --> 1:49:44.439 and not resting, and I don't notice as much of 1:49:44.479 --> 1:49:46.559 a difference as some other people. Apparently, maybe it depends 1:49:46.560 --> 1:49:48.800 on the cut of meat, and that's sacrilege. Everyone will 1:49:48.840 --> 1:49:50.719 tell you let it rest for five to ten minutes. 1:49:51.240 --> 1:49:53.000 I feel like my steak after ten minutes is not 1:49:53.000 --> 1:49:54.800 always as hot as I want it. To be, so 1:49:55.200 --> 1:49:57.400 I'm not sure that I'm I like the sizzling steak. 1:49:57.439 --> 1:50:00.760 I mean I and you know, I don't know. I'm 1:50:00.880 --> 1:50:03.519 not a big let Let the steak come down in 1:50:03.600 --> 1:50:06.360 temperature for about thirty to forty minutes. It'll still be cold. 1:50:06.400 --> 1:50:08.240 You don't want it room temperature. That means you've left 1:50:08.280 --> 1:50:10.479 it out probably too long. But leave it out of 1:50:10.520 --> 1:50:13.000 the fridge for at least thirty I'd say forty minutes 1:50:13.040 --> 1:50:16.040 before you see her. I think the reverse your method 1:50:16.120 --> 1:50:17.800 is the best. A lot of you like suvied cooking. 1:50:18.640 --> 1:50:21.559 Something about cooking my steak in like hot water, though, 1:50:21.720 --> 1:50:24.160 just doesn't really appeal to me. It's like a science 1:50:24.200 --> 1:50:26.479 experiment and you gotta have special equipment for it. The 1:50:26.560 --> 1:50:28.519 only special equipment you need to have for the perfect 1:50:28.560 --> 1:50:31.880 steak is a cast iron pan. Get a cast iron 1:50:32.920 --> 1:50:36.960 you can do you know, a steel well, let's the other. 1:50:37.080 --> 1:50:40.080 You know it's not a cast iron, but at whatever. 1:50:40.920 --> 1:50:43.080 But don't use like a non stick. Don't use the 1:50:43.120 --> 1:50:44.720 pan that you're cooking your eggs in the morning for 1:50:44.800 --> 1:50:47.960 your steak. Bad idea. Get a cast iron lodge. We 1:50:48.000 --> 1:50:49.680 should get Lodge as a sponsor because I have like 1:50:49.800 --> 1:50:51.720 four Lodge pans in my home and I use like 1:50:51.760 --> 1:50:55.639 all their different products. Lodge is a very good one. 1:50:56.439 --> 1:50:58.800 Get a cast iron pan, and uh wow, I really 1:50:58.800 --> 1:51:00.679 should I actually we should get the spot. I probably 1:51:00.680 --> 1:51:02.120 just sold a bunch of cast iron pants for them 1:51:03.120 --> 1:51:05.200 because it just makes a big difference, cooks more evenly, 1:51:05.640 --> 1:51:09.080 it conducts heat better, and also it either you'll just 1:51:09.200 --> 1:51:11.160 see real red meat cooking you want to do with 1:51:11.200 --> 1:51:12.720 the cast iron. So that's if you want to do 1:51:12.760 --> 1:51:14.280 the perfect steak. I'm telling you, though, those are really 1:51:14.280 --> 1:51:15.400 the only things you need to know how to do. 1:51:15.640 --> 1:51:17.680 I think reverse here is a good way to go 1:51:17.760 --> 1:51:21.080 if the stick is thin. So if you have, say 1:51:21.479 --> 1:51:27.800 a flank steak, you could definitely or a skirt steak, 1:51:27.880 --> 1:51:29.720 you can cook it on a stovetop without having to 1:51:29.760 --> 1:51:31.840 go in the oven and do the heere thing. So 1:51:32.000 --> 1:51:33.479 I just I'm just here to be helpful team for 1:51:33.600 --> 1:51:35.840 Valentine's steak, because everyone knows if you give someone a 1:51:35.880 --> 1:51:38.640 perfectly cook piece of red meat on Valentine's Day, you 1:51:38.720 --> 1:51:41.720 clearly love them all right. Roll call continues here Rick 1:51:43.120 --> 1:51:46.920 writes in do you remember ravishing Rick Rude? By the way, 1:51:47.040 --> 1:51:49.320 and just the name Rick just made me remember that 1:51:49.520 --> 1:51:52.719 because I used to watch a lot of WWF before. 1:51:52.760 --> 1:51:54.240 I guess they had to change the name because of 1:51:54.240 --> 1:51:57.000 the World Wildlife Federation, Right, that's what happened, because you know, 1:51:57.200 --> 1:52:00.720 you know professional wrestling, right, Yeah, No, I mean not 1:52:00.800 --> 1:52:02.920 so much now. I mean not as much as I 1:52:03.000 --> 1:52:04.720 was as a kid, but I still watched raw and 1:52:04.760 --> 1:52:07.000 smack Down. What happened was what happened to super Fly 1:52:07.160 --> 1:52:12.320 Jimmy Snooker. He was accused I think of murder, murder right, yeah, 1:52:12.640 --> 1:52:15.559 his girlfriend, I don't and they caught him like they 1:52:15.800 --> 1:52:19.080 like prosecuted him thirty years later or something, right, Yeah, yeah, 1:52:19.360 --> 1:52:21.719 it was one of those cold cases. I believe super 1:52:21.800 --> 1:52:23.920 Fly Jimmy Snooker because I remember he was. He was 1:52:24.080 --> 1:52:25.720 great back in the day.

It was 1:52:48.640 --> 1:52:50.719 a Rock the Rocks Dad and then the Rocks Grandpa. 1:52:50.960 --> 1:52:52.799 I didn't know the Rock came from a family to wrestler. 1:52:52.840 --> 1:52:59.080 Oh yeah, the Johnson's really yeah, big Simowen culture.

I 1:53:22.760 --> 1:53:25.560 used to think was so awesome and so like so 1:53:25.840 --> 1:53:28.400 like all America. And and he's had a tough go. Man, 1:53:28.560 --> 1:53:30.560 he's been through some stuff. He shouldn't have done the 1:53:30.600 --> 1:53:33.760 reality show. Well you were exposed to his awkwardness. Yeah, 1:53:34.120 --> 1:53:35.800 I know, it's never really the same. And those guys, 1:53:35.840 --> 1:53:37.559 but like the oldtim Warriors, some of these guys took 1:53:38.200 --> 1:53:40.240 so much. I mean they were like human test tubes. Man, 1:53:40.280 --> 1:53:42.720 they took so much drugs to get Warrior died a 1:53:42.920 --> 1:53:44.960 few years ago. Do you have a heart problems? Right? 1:53:45.080 --> 1:53:47.200 And they thought it was from Uh wasn't it from? 1:53:47.760 --> 1:53:49.840 I mean a lot of us from steroid usage or 1:53:49.880 --> 1:53:51.519 not a lot of abuse. I mean so many of 1:53:51.600 --> 1:53:55.080 them you've got looked back in their fifties or even earlier. Yeah, 1:53:55.280 --> 1:53:57.000 I dude, I used to watch it. I used to 1:53:57.040 --> 1:53:59.800 watch Royal Rumble. That was the best. I remember. Also 1:53:59.840 --> 1:54:02.360 with they made a movie about Zeus, who is a 1:54:02.479 --> 1:54:06.600 very large African American fellow, and Hulk Hogan. There was 1:54:06.600 --> 1:54:08.080 a movie. Do you remember this? Yeah? I think it 1:54:08.120 --> 1:54:11.000 was called No Holds Barred, correct. I saw that move 1:54:11.160 --> 1:54:15.560 Devo Friday, I remember, I remember that one. Yeah, so 1:54:17.000 --> 1:54:18.640 that was his like you know, it's like all he 1:54:18.680 --> 1:54:23.599 said in the whole movie. He was a large, strong fellow. Yeah, yeah, 1:54:24.280 --> 1:54:26.160 all right. Anyway, Rick is not a professional wrestler for 1:54:26.200 --> 1:54:27.960 what we said here, writes book. I listened as often 1:54:28.000 --> 1:54:30.920 as possible and enjoy your outlook and observation, which I 1:54:30.960 --> 1:54:33.640 find most refreshing. When I was eighteen, I joined the 1:54:33.760 --> 1:54:35.640 army and learned quickly that if I didn't have a 1:54:35.720 --> 1:54:39.080 plan for myself, some other clan would be a clown 1:54:39.400 --> 1:54:42.680 would be planning my life. I don't hear any of 1:54:42.720 --> 1:54:44.880 the dem candidates encouraging young people to take stock of 1:54:44.920 --> 1:54:48.960 themselves and engage in a plan for personal improvement. Minimum 1:54:49.000 --> 1:54:51.800 wage is not a destination. I agree with you that 1:54:51.840 --> 1:54:53.360 we live in the best country at the best time, 1:54:53.360 --> 1:54:55.400 with the most opportunity in history. Well, Rick, you seem 1:54:55.440 --> 1:54:57.120 like a very wise fellow. Thank you for your service, 1:54:57.840 --> 1:55:01.040 and thank you so much for writing in. And yeah, 1:55:01.040 --> 1:55:02.840 people need to understand a minimum wage. I mean, you 1:55:02.880 --> 1:55:05.360 shouldn't ever feel like you're stuck at the minimum wage forever. 1:55:05.440 --> 1:55:07.440 I mean, your labors should become more valuable over time, 1:55:07.480 --> 1:55:09.640 if nothing else, due to the loyalty to a company, 1:55:09.760 --> 1:55:15.160 the ability to take on additional tasks. But minimum wage 1:55:15.200 --> 1:55:17.880 sound it sounds more fair to people to have a 1:55:17.960 --> 1:55:21.080 higher minimum wage. And so that's it's emotion. It's emotion 1:55:21.160 --> 1:55:24.360 over economics, which is so often and look, this is 1:55:24.400 --> 1:55:26.480 a thing that is not just about minimum wage. I've 1:55:26.520 --> 1:55:28.960 read a very interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal 1:55:28.960 --> 1:55:33.440 a couple of days ago about how active investors, so 1:55:33.560 --> 1:55:37.600 people who think they can pick stocks, are generally wrong 1:55:38.480 --> 1:55:41.400 when they compare it to what they would make if 1:55:41.440 --> 1:55:44.600 they just put their money in index funds and ETFs 1:55:45.160 --> 1:55:47.920 essentially just get as the broadest market exposure they can 1:55:48.120 --> 1:55:52.800 and grow their wealth slowly and conscientiously over time. That 1:55:53.120 --> 1:55:55.400 that Now, this isn't true for everybody. They're obviously people 1:55:55.400 --> 1:55:57.120 that are great investors, and that's why. And you can 1:55:57.280 --> 1:56:00.360 educate yourself in certain sectors and become But for them, 1:56:00.480 --> 1:56:02.720 for most people that are going to invest any money, 1:56:03.120 --> 1:56:07.640 by the numbers, it's instead of reading all these prospectuses 1:56:07.920 --> 1:56:09.840 and doing all this stuff and trying to learn so 1:56:09.920 --> 1:56:11.680 much about a specific industry. If you're if you're an 1:56:11.680 --> 1:56:14.640 amateur investor who's just doing this with money you've made 1:56:14.680 --> 1:56:17.480 doing something else, unless you're going to spend a lot 1:56:17.520 --> 1:56:20.040 of time on self education. For most people, it's better 1:56:20.640 --> 1:56:25.360 to engage in just index funds and ETFs. But some 1:56:25.480 --> 1:56:27.800 people want to invest because they just like the process. 1:56:28.080 --> 1:56:29.720 They like to be in that game, so to speak. 1:56:29.760 --> 1:56:31.320 So even if they're losing money, they'd rather do it 1:56:31.400 --> 1:56:36.600 that way. Eric, Right, Hey, Buck, love the show so much. 1:56:36.760 --> 1:56:38.880 I have to look out for you. I heard this 1:56:38.960 --> 1:56:42.120 Seth McFarland comparison and it made my stomach turn. He's 1:56:42.120 --> 1:56:45.480 a crazy lib and has donated over four million dollars 1:56:45.560 --> 1:56:49.560 to the Democratic Party. Your voices are good except the yodeling, 1:56:49.680 --> 1:56:52.440 So just be you and definitely don't be like Seth McFarland. 1:56:52.480 --> 1:56:56.839 Shields high from so Kyle. Thanks Eric, I appreciate that. Obviously, 1:56:56.880 --> 1:57:00.840 Producer Mark wasn't saying that I am like Seth McFarland. 1:57:00.880 --> 1:57:02.680 I think he was just getting at that I sound 1:57:02.800 --> 1:57:06.160 sometimes like Seth McFarlane, which you know. I just I 1:57:06.200 --> 1:57:08.160 don't want to sound or be like Seth McFarland. I 1:57:08.200 --> 1:57:10.840 just want his bank account. That would be nice. I 1:57:10.880 --> 1:57:14.800 will take I will swap bank accounts with Seth McFarlane. 1:57:15.320 --> 1:57:17.200 That would be a good deal for me. I think 1:57:17.520 --> 1:57:24.000 it'd be more fun. Kelly buck Oss from the Blaze 1:57:24.080 --> 1:57:26.400 days just want to drop a quick note to thank 1:57:26.480 --> 1:57:30.600 you for the reverse seer tip. After being married seventeen 1:57:30.760 --> 1:57:34.480 years and together for twenty two, it's fun to still 1:57:34.600 --> 1:57:38.000 have firsts. This was the first time I ever made 1:57:38.080 --> 1:57:40.440 my hobbyist steak, as there is no way I could 1:57:40.480 --> 1:57:43.360 grill it.

I laugh because he and I 1:57:59.440 --> 1:58:01.360 sometimes say the same thing at the same time, which 1:58:01.440 --> 1:58:04.839 is also a bit alarming. Keep up the amazing workbox 1:58:04.880 --> 1:58:07.560 shields high. Thank you so much, Kelly.
