Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Crazy libs want Attorney
Speaker 1: General bar to resign. Plus, why is the whistleblower's name
Speaker 1: being censored from YouTube? What's going on with Minnie Mike Bloomberg?
Speaker 1: Can he buy the presidency? And should you recline your
Speaker 1: seat on an airplane? Or is that just uncivilized? Coming up?
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American. Let me bring you're a great
Speaker 1: American again. The Buck Sexton Show begins analyst. He's a
Speaker 1: great guy now, But I tell you what people were
Speaker 1: hurting viciously and badly by these corrupt people. And I
Speaker 1: want to thank if you look at what happened. I
Speaker 1: want to thank the Justice Department for seeing this horrible thing.
Speaker 1: And I didn't speak to him, by the way, just
Speaker 1: so you understand, they saw the horribleness of a nine
Speaker 1: year sentence for doing nothing. You have murders and drug addicts.
Speaker 1: They'll get nine years, nine years for doing something that
Speaker 1: nobody even can define what he did. The Germany said
Speaker 1: he put out a tweet, and the tweet you're based
Speaker 1: on that we have killers We have murders all over
Speaker 1: the place, nothing happens, and then they put a man
Speaker 1: in jail and destroy his life, his family, his wife,
Speaker 1: his children, nine years in jail. It's a disgrace. In
Speaker 1: the meantime, Komey walks around making book deals. The people
Speaker 1: that launched the scam investigation and what they did is
Speaker 1: a disgrace and hopefully it'll be treated fairly. Everything else
Speaker 1: would be treated him. Welcome to the buck Section show
Speaker 1: the President and Fuego telling the truth about what has
Speaker 1: really been going on here. Let's just step back for
Speaker 1: a moment before I dig into the details of the
Speaker 1: Rogerstone sentencing issue and how there's more unfairness there than
Speaker 1: you've probably even heard of yet. How are we supposed
Speaker 1: to feel about a justice system in this country that
Speaker 1: somehow allowed for the investigation of a presidential campaign using
Speaker 1: highly sensitive counter espionage tools at the very top reaches
Speaker 1: of the federal law enforcement and intelligence bureaucracy, to lie
Speaker 1: about that investigation, to continue it, as we know they
Speaker 1: did with the Fizer renewals on carter Page, to use
Speaker 1: fake information which we know the dossier is paid for
Speaker 1: by an opposition political campaign, the Hillary Clinton DNC using
Speaker 1: foreign sources, that we're probably running what the Russians called
Speaker 1: disinvormatzia disinformation. How is it that the only people in
Speaker 1: this process when you stretch out Russia collusion, this great conspiracy,
Speaker 1: the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, and the scandal
Speaker 1: is in the other guys were wrong all along. The
Speaker 1: other guys, the Democrats, the anti Trumpers, they got the
Speaker 1: whole thing wrong. They lied, cheated, and stole whatever they
Speaker 1: had to do to keep this thing going. They thought
Speaker 1: they were going to topple a presidency with this, It's
Speaker 1: gonna be Watergate. But they're the burglars in this tale.
Speaker 1: They don't yet recognize that that's the way history will
Speaker 1: view them, although we always know the Libs like to
Speaker 1: rewrite history. That's what's going on here. And the only people,
Speaker 1: somehow in all of us who get in trouble, the
Speaker 1: only individuals who find themselves on the wrong side of
Speaker 1: a federal prosecutor in all this are Republicans, people close
Speaker 1: to Trump. That's it. Coomy, no charges, McCabe, light under
Speaker 1: oath as black and white. A criminal issue is you're
Speaker 1: going to find anywhere Roger Stone's in trouble for lying
Speaker 1: to Congress. McCabe led under oath, same principle, same kind
Speaker 1: of law. CABE's not going to prison. As a former
Speaker 1: acting FBI director of Friends, Peter Struck fired no charges
Speaker 1: against him, no official misconduct. They could they could absolutely
Speaker 1: slam that guy with an official misconduct charge. And keep
Speaker 1: in mind the left sometimes pushes prosecutions for political reasons
Speaker 1: that they know they can't win. But to prosecute is
Speaker 1: to attack. To prosecute is to destroy, maybe not fully,
Speaker 1: because you may not get the verdict you want, as
Speaker 1: we just saw with the Democrat Congress going after Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: but it was still an assault. It was still an
Speaker 1: ongoing ambush trying to slow down, trying to harm this presidency.
Speaker 1: So then you have to ask yourself, huh, why is
Speaker 1: it that on our side we only prosecute if we
Speaker 1: know there's no escape. For the other side, there's no
Speaker 1: way they'd be able to mount any kind of successful defense.
Speaker 1: And even then sometimes we back away from it because
Speaker 1: on the right we like to think that we show
Speaker 1: good faith and there are bigger considerations sometimes than punishing
Speaker 1: wrongdoers who are Democrats. I don't know why we continue
Speaker 1: to live in that fantasy lend, but we do on
Speaker 1: the right, we don't seem to really ever prosecute. To
Speaker 1: keep in mind, there's nothing stopping I know that this
Speaker 1: is going to sound crazy to people, but I am correct.
Speaker 1: There's nothing stopping the Department of Justice from reopening the
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton email case if they wanted to. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's nothing statutorially that prevents them from doing that. They
Speaker 1: certainly could have done it over the last three years.
Speaker 1: But we don't do that. Why Because we're Republicans, we're conservatives.
Speaker 1: We want the country to continue functioning. We don't want
Speaker 1: to rip it apart at the seams. Whether you agree
Speaker 1: with this or not, I'm just saying this is the mentality. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the left is like, hey, can we lie and get
Speaker 1: stuff into a FISA application to mic up somebody who
Speaker 1: touches on the Trump campaign. Maybe see if there's anybody
Speaker 1: else talking to someone else that we can look at
Speaker 1: their emails too. Shameless, shameless, unrepentant. To this day, they
Speaker 1: act like that was all justified. They spied on a
Speaker 1: presidential campaign. They keep saying that Attorney General bar is
Speaker 1: Trump's hatchet man. He's a bad guy. Attorney General bar
Speaker 1: was already the attorney general under the George HW. Bush administration.
Speaker 1: He's already had this job. Was anyone saying that he was, Oh,
Speaker 1: he was a total you know, a bad man for
Speaker 1: Bush then, and he can't be trusted and he's corrupt
Speaker 1: and he's been bought and all this stuff. No, but
Speaker 1: suddenly he's just Trump's lackey and has no credibility. They've
Speaker 1: tried to say he's dumb, which is hilarious. He's a
Speaker 1: better lawyer than every psycho lib lawyer they've put forward
Speaker 1: to make cases against Trump, whether it's impeachment or Russia collusion.
Speaker 1: He'd crush any of them in open debate. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they also didn't realize that he was the head of
Speaker 1: the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice,
Speaker 1: which makes policy for the rest of the Department of Justice.
Speaker 1: That was before he was Attorney general. You cannot get
Speaker 1: more gold standard for a government legal resume than the
Speaker 1: city attorney General does not exist. You know what Eric
Speaker 1: Holder was most famous for it before he became Attorney general,
Speaker 1: overseeing the disgraceful but legal pardon of Democrat financier Mark
Speaker 1: Rich who was doing business with Iran when it was
Speaker 1: or was it Libya. I think it was a Ron
Speaker 1: or Libya, one of those two countries when it was
Speaker 1: under sanction and fled the country, never faced justice, but
Speaker 1: his super rich wife wrote big checks to Democrats, so
Speaker 1: he basically bought a pardon. Eric Holder signed off on that.
Speaker 1: Even Eric Holder today says, yeah, that was pretty gross.
Speaker 1: So that was Obama's attorney general for most of his term.
Speaker 1: And then you had Lauretta Lynch, who, as we know,
Speaker 1: just had the fortuitous circumstance of right before the decision
Speaker 1: was going to be made about what was going to
Speaker 1: happen to then Democrat nominee for the president and expected
Speaker 1: next president in the United States, Hillary Clinton, would she
Speaker 1: faced criminal charges, by the way, any criminal charge of
Speaker 1: any kind would have sunk her presidential hopes. We know
Speaker 1: that didn't have to go to prison for decades. Even
Speaker 1: if she took a guilty plea, she probably would have
Speaker 1: been done and no jail time probation. I've said you,
Speaker 1: I'm honest. Everyone else is, oh, she'd go to prison
Speaker 1: forever for the Espionage Act. That's not true. But she
Speaker 1: should have had to take a guilty plea for mishandling
Speaker 1: classified and probably get, you know, a six month suspended
Speaker 1: sentence and probation. But she should have had to take
Speaker 1: a criminal charge for mishandling classified. That's reality. But we're
Speaker 1: supposed to believe that Loretta Lynch had a meeting on
Speaker 1: a tarmac with Bill Clinton, that their private planes just
Speaker 1: happened to line up on a lot of airports, a
Speaker 1: lot of planes in the sky, right before the determination
Speaker 1: is going to be made, right before Cam goes forward
Speaker 1: and gives his speech. Yeah, uh, Democrats must think we're
Speaker 1: all really stupid, don't they Like, we can't figure out
Speaker 1: what's going on here? My friends, this is all absurd,
Speaker 1: and we know that we understand that we see what's
Speaker 1: going on here. They keep playing dirty and then accusing
Speaker 1: us of playing dirty when the biggest problem that we
Speaker 1: have when it comes to the justice system as conservatives,
Speaker 1: as Trump supporters is we still have principles, and that
Speaker 1: means that we don't have the same latitude of operation
Speaker 1: that the other side does. They'll just do whatever, no,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how blatant is. And that now brings
Speaker 1: me to this Roger Stone issue, and we might have
Speaker 1: my friend Annie McCarthy on to fill in some of
Speaker 1: the some of the blanks on this one. Tomorrow give
Speaker 1: us a little bit more of his analysis. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, he's always he's somebody who is fair to
Speaker 1: this system but also sees things for what they are.
Speaker 1: You know, he believes in the system. He believes in
Speaker 1: the doj I'm I'm getting closer and closer to just like,
Speaker 1: just tear it, just tear it down and start fresh,
Speaker 1: you know, nuke the planet from orbit. It's the only
Speaker 1: way to be the only way to be sure what
Speaker 1: movie producer brand And by the way, I got producer
Speaker 1: branded in today. For a producer, our producer market has
Speaker 1: to take a couple of personal days. Do you know
Speaker 1: a movie? Oh, he didn't even hear. Don't worry about that.
Speaker 1: Don't wry about that. You can interrupt the flow of
Speaker 1: the monologue. Now, producer bread that. It's fine, don't worry
Speaker 1: about it. We'll ask you things later. It is Aliens
Speaker 1: for those of you who did not know, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure most of you knew. Great movie. By the way
Speaker 1: I get into arguments is whether Aliens a better movie
Speaker 1: than T two? With people that are James Cameron fans,
Speaker 1: it's a conversation for another time you're in the Freedom Hunt.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. So now
Speaker 1: we're at the stage of what happened with the Rogerstone
Speaker 1: the Rogerstone sentencing. Now, the guidelines that were given, the
Speaker 1: guidelines that were given by the federal prosecutors were technically allowed,
Speaker 1: but it also was very clear that they took the
Speaker 1: most negative interpretation possible and applied the most negative interpretation
Speaker 1: to get the you know, a very extreme end of
Speaker 1: the range. Now that judge is the one who determines,
Speaker 1: not the prosecutors. The federal judge presiding over the case
Speaker 1: determines what the actual sentence would be. But I do
Speaker 1: think that it's I've been very clear about this. It
Speaker 1: is absurd. I don't even care what the guidelines say.
Speaker 1: I don't care what the statutes say that Roger Stone
Speaker 1: could even theoretically go to prison for nine years federal prison.
Speaker 1: By the way, no parole, you serve the sentence you
Speaker 1: get in federal prison. People have always forget that. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: well they'll be out and no, no, no. If you
Speaker 1: get five years in federal prison, you go to federal
Speaker 1: prison for five years. It's not like state prisons where
Speaker 1: you know, you can get a seven year sentence, and
Speaker 1: you know, with two years could behavior all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you're walking around the street. The reality is that
Speaker 1: it's it's an affront to our conscience. That Stone, who
Speaker 1: you guys all know, I think is a pretty entertaining character.
Speaker 1: I've talked to him a bunch of times. He's very amusing.
Speaker 1: He's fund to exchange startorial tips with him. But Stone
Speaker 1: is I asked him once if you if you need
Speaker 1: to wear a belt with a suit, and he said,
Speaker 1: absolutely are what are we sat? Iages you must wear
Speaker 1: a belt with a suit. You know, It's like, oh yes, sir,
Speaker 1: of course. I thought you could kind of get away
Speaker 1: with no belt with the suit. But Roger Stone set
Speaker 1: me straight. Set me straight a long time ago on
Speaker 1: that one. So Rogers facing nine years in federal prison
Speaker 1: according to whatever the well, based on what the judge
Speaker 1: decides to do with it. And people get upset about this.
Speaker 1: Trump tweets about it, and now he's been very public.
Speaker 1: We started out the show with him saying the DJ
Speaker 1: did the right thing by saying, okay, that's this was crazy.
Speaker 1: The perception here does matter, the perception of whether Stone
Speaker 1: is being treated fairly matters. And you have to also
Speaker 1: remember in this whole process that there is the left
Speaker 1: and the anti trumpers are invested in as many prosecutions
Speaker 1: and as long a sentence as they can get for
Speaker 1: two reasons. One spite, if you work for Trump, if
Speaker 1: you're near Trump, they hate you, and that's the main reason.
Speaker 1: But the second reason is that then they do this
Speaker 1: thing you've seen the Mattaw's show on MSNBC on c AU.
Speaker 1: They'll have people that'll just rack and stack all the
Speaker 1: criminal prosecutions. This became a big talking point, Oh, look
Speaker 1: at all the criminal prosecutions out of the Russia collusion probe,
Speaker 1: as though that justifies that the probe was all based
Speaker 1: in a lie. The probe was a farce, The probe
Speaker 1: was wrong. It never should have happened. Without the dossier,
Speaker 1: they don't even get to the probe stage. But they
Speaker 1: rack up all these different names of people that are
Speaker 1: going to prison for line to investigators and some form
Speaker 1: of personal financial fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, etc. But
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with Russia collusion. So they
Speaker 1: want yet another person, oh, Trump associate Roger Stone linked
Speaker 1: to the Russia collusion that didn't happen linked to the
Speaker 1: Russia collusion case, gets you know, six years, seven years
Speaker 1: whatever it is in federal prison. See, we were right
Speaker 1: all along to be doing that investigation. No, they're they're
Speaker 1: fined process crimes and relentlessly hounding people, ruining them, bankrupting
Speaker 1: them because Libs have completely lost their minds. So that's
Speaker 1: a big part of this. And then when you see
Speaker 1: the federal prosecutors who pulled the Sally Yates maneuver. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm leaving the government because I'm so ethical. Give
Speaker 1: me a CNN contract. I want to go work for MSNBC.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what they do now. Oh Trump
Speaker 1: is such a monster. Where's my book deal? This is
Speaker 1: what the hashtag resistance does. This is how they conduct themselves.
Speaker 1: We all know this. But you have these prosecutors who
Speaker 1: have all well, they've they've resigned from the case. I
Speaker 1: think a few of them have resigned entirely from the DOJ.
Speaker 1: So some of them have resigned from the DOJ. And
Speaker 1: you look at their resumes and these are people who,
Speaker 1: first of all, and I note this, three of the
Speaker 1: four I think clerked for Supreme Court judges. Guess which
Speaker 1: Supreme Court judges. They clerked for huge libs Stevens suitor
Speaker 1: yoh yeah, oh yeah, big big surprise there, right, no
Speaker 1: Scalia clerking going on, no Thomas clerking on the resume. Nope,
Speaker 1: they clerked for big libs. We know they're huge libs.
Speaker 1: One of them was a senior DJ appointing under the
Speaker 1: Obama administration. Another one was very involved in prosecuting the
Speaker 1: Muller was part of the Muller pro part of the
Speaker 1: Muller team, and one of them was involved with going
Speaker 1: after Papadopolis. Essentially oversaw that, Yeah, that's really that. That
Speaker 1: was justice send Papadopolis to fourteen days in prison for
Speaker 1: lying about something that he might have misremembered and that
Speaker 1: meant nothing. That seems fair, right. That's that's what the
Speaker 1: left does. They've convinced themselves that they're the good guys,
Speaker 1: and whoever they can destroy on the other side, that's justified.
Speaker 1: That's why. Yeah, is Trump is Trump kind of you know,
Speaker 1: talking out of turn here a little bit on the DOJ.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't do this, Yeah, But all the people that are
Speaker 1: crying to you right now about how Trump shouldn't speak
Speaker 1: about the DOJ and he's he's affecting the impartiality of
Speaker 1: the institution and that this is so wrong, and all
Speaker 1: those other all of those people, you should ask the question,
Speaker 1: where were they when Obama said on National TV that
Speaker 1: Hillary didn't didn't actually endanger national security with her emails.
Speaker 1: She didn't mean to do it, and basically she didn't
Speaker 1: do anything wrong. There's nothing to see here. His Department
Speaker 1: of Justice was then investigating a case of a Secretary
Speaker 1: of State who was sending highly classified and including Special
Speaker 1: Access program data on an open email server, not a
Speaker 1: classified server. Any other person who's work in the government
Speaker 1: would tell you this would be you would assume you're
Speaker 1: gonna you You're gonna end up in federal prison for
Speaker 1: a while if you did this. But she was Secretary
Speaker 1: of State and the Democrats needed her to try to
Speaker 1: win the presidency. So Obama can speak out about that,
Speaker 1: and that's fine. Why is that fine? Oh, because he's
Speaker 1: Obama and because they're Democrats, and because they have no principles,
Speaker 1: they only have double standards. Okay, I'm glad that we
Speaker 1: can establish that right away, because the people that are
Speaker 1: all upset now about Trump's saying that the dj needed
Speaker 1: to reiin this thing in they were not upset when
Speaker 1: the Obama administration, in fact President Obama himself publicly weighed
Speaker 1: in on how there should be no charges against Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1: You could call that undue election interference, couldn't you. Well,
Speaker 1: this is where this is where we are. And so
Speaker 1: now they've created yet they need another outrage story because
Speaker 1: they're done with Rush a collusion right now, they're trying
Speaker 1: to find how to resurrect it. Acquittal in the Senate trial.
Speaker 1: Then they didn't remove Trump from office. Impeachment helped Trump,
Speaker 1: you know, the idiots and the Democrats side I thought
Speaker 1: that was going to ruin him. Didn't know what they
Speaker 1: were talking about. So now what they do, Oh, they
Speaker 1: got to remove bar The Department of Justice is under
Speaker 1: so much assault. Can't handle the strain from a guy
Speaker 1: who is a gold standard d J longtimer who just
Speaker 1: happens to be hated by the left. In Attorney General
Speaker 1: bar hated, viciously despised by the Democrats and the left
Speaker 1: because he knows this game. They can't scare him and
Speaker 1: he's not going to back down. The could you imagine,
Speaker 1: by the way, if I'm just gonna say, if we
Speaker 1: had if you would have had Attorney General Bar instead
Speaker 1: of Jeff Sessions. And I do not dislike Jeff Sessions.
Speaker 1: He's a nice man, and I think he's an honorable guy.
Speaker 1: He's just not a fighter. He's just not a street fighter,
Speaker 1: you know. You know, let's say about people you got,
Speaker 1: like a friend who you know, say he's a lover,
Speaker 1: not a fighter, and just means he's not the guy
Speaker 1: you wanted. You're back in a bar when things get ugly.
Speaker 1: You know, Sessions is a nice guy. If Barr had
Speaker 1: been Trump's Attorney general from from day one, there wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been a Russia collusion probe wouldn't have happened. There
Speaker 1: would have been it would have been an investigation of
Speaker 1: Russian online in or you know, online propaganda efforts in
Speaker 1: an interference. Sure wouldn't have been this whole Trump collusion
Speaker 1: lie on all the obstruction garbage piled on top of it.
Speaker 1: So personnel, personnel is policy. People say personnel mattered. Trump's
Speaker 1: gotten a few of the right ones in the in
Speaker 1: the right places now, but took way too long to
Speaker 1: get there. You're in the freedom hud. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Last night, I think I said
Speaker 1: on air that you know, the Washington Post says democracy
Speaker 1: dies in darkness. It actually doesn't. It dies some television.
Speaker 1: It dies right under the lights of you know, the
Speaker 1: bright of day. Um. I mean, this is an institutions
Speaker 1: and justice that's right and with people not doing something.
Speaker 1: And understand, right now we should all be called for
Speaker 1: the Attorney General to resign. What bar has done should
Speaker 1: mean that we are demanding a resignation and if that
Speaker 1: guy won't resign, then the House should start impeachment proceedings
Speaker 1: against him. Impeach Bar. Oh, here we go. What did
Speaker 1: I folk? What did I tell you? You You know, I
Speaker 1: W've been saying all week, they're looking they're looking for
Speaker 1: another They're looking for another removal proceeding, another weaponization of
Speaker 1: the process. And here we are, here, we are now
Speaker 1: with them doing what they do, which is to say,
Speaker 1: they've come up with some looney tunes explanation of why
Speaker 1: the Attorney General of the United States needs to be
Speaker 1: removed from office. They've decided that the Attorney General here
Speaker 1: is a guy that they should go and have a
Speaker 1: you know, have a removal proceeding with the House calling witnesses.
Speaker 1: The whole thing. The whole thing all because any distraction
Speaker 1: from the disarray of the Democratic Party right now is
Speaker 1: a good thing. Any distraction from what the Democrats are
Speaker 1: really trying to do and trying to accomplish in terms
Speaker 1: of the people they have running for elected office, that's
Speaker 1: just that's great. They should be very happy about that.
Speaker 1: They should be very very pleased because they don't really
Speaker 1: have that. They want just the Democrat primary voters to
Speaker 1: be figuring this thing out while the rest of the
Speaker 1: country swing voters independents are focused on the removed. By
Speaker 1: the way, this is not going to happen. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous, and I would just note that it
Speaker 1: would be entertaining to watch them try to explain why
Speaker 1: Attorney General bar should be removed, because he's just going
Speaker 1: to say, I didn't I didn't make this. You know,
Speaker 1: I didn't violate any law. What's I didn't violate any
Speaker 1: any DJ policy. The president spouts off, that's not my problem,
Speaker 1: but why you're going to remove the attorney general, and
Speaker 1: that they would claim that you have Democrats now saying
Speaker 1: that you should have Attorney General bar consider removing himself,
Speaker 1: but you you did not have the even recusal, never
Speaker 1: mind removal proceedings initiated against Lauretta Lynch just goes to
Speaker 1: show you that this is all they just they view
Speaker 1: all of this as scoring points for their team against
Speaker 1: the other team. Whenever they talk about institutions and our
Speaker 1: sacred democracy and all this other stuff, you can just
Speaker 1: just just cast that aside. That's just nonsense. It doesn't mean,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anything to them. It doesn't mean anything
Speaker 1: to them. They're they're saying that as a distraction and
Speaker 1: as a smoke screens, as a tactic of weaponizing process
Speaker 1: against the other. In this case, as we know, the
Speaker 1: other would be Democrats. I'm sorry, Republicans. Rather, I want
Speaker 1: to talk to you about the situation here with Mike Bloomberg,
Speaker 1: because I do find this fascinating. So let's dive into that.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. I'm very concerned that the
Speaker 1: independence of prosecutors, the ability of judges at just weigh
Speaker 1: the facts and the evidence is erotium. That the president
Speaker 1: has taken a wrecking ball to that, and he was
Speaker 1: just impeached for that. We're not going to stop holding
Speaker 1: him accountable. We've learned when you hold him accountable, you
Speaker 1: can actually stop the corruption, whether he's removed or not.
Speaker 1: And ultimately it's going to be for the voters to
Speaker 1: judge in November. Might you impeach him over this? Over
Speaker 1: Roger Stone in the sentence, You know, we're not going
Speaker 1: to take our options off the table. We don't wake
Speaker 1: up in the morning wanting to impeach him. You know,
Speaker 1: we want to work with him on primperships and drugs,
Speaker 1: background checks and infrastructure. But we're not going to let
Speaker 1: him just, you know, torch this democracy because he thinks
Speaker 1: that he's been let off once and we're not going
Speaker 1: to do something about him. Oh yeah, maybe they'll impeach
Speaker 1: him about this thing too. They'll impeach the president. Never
Speaker 1: mind bar you know, impeachment, impeachment. Impeachment has a replaced Russia, Russia, Russia.
Speaker 1: They just can't make a good argument. Their argument right
Speaker 1: now is, oh, yeah, let's put a crazy socialist in charge.
Speaker 1: Even Democrats realize that's probably not a winning strategy. I
Speaker 1: think they know this. I think they have They've started
Speaker 1: to come to this on understanding but I want to
Speaker 1: just switch gears here for a moment and tell you
Speaker 1: about what I'm reading about the Bloomberg campaign. Now here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Bloomberg is not an exciting politician. No one
Speaker 1: sits around and they're like, you know, Mayor Bloomberg is
Speaker 1: really good to save the country. No one thinks that
Speaker 1: Mayor Bloomberg is dynamic, is charismatic or charming or any
Speaker 1: of those things. A lot of the president keeps making
Speaker 1: fun of his height. I think he's like five eight,
Speaker 1: which is like normal height, like standard average height. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Producer Brandon is like telling me, he's for you five eight,
Speaker 1: How tall are you? Five six? Okay, but you know,
Speaker 1: like five eight five six, this is this is how
Speaker 1: tall people are fun size. Yeah. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know why Trump's gotta go go go with
Speaker 1: the height thing all the time. I don't know. There's
Speaker 1: other you know, low energy, crooked. These are things that
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know, I think. But calling
Speaker 1: him little Marco, I know it was about hype, but
Speaker 1: it was about more than height. It was about his
Speaker 1: lack of real political stature more than his physical stature.
Speaker 1: When he remember with Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio tried to
Speaker 1: go after Trump and tried to try to take the
Speaker 1: gloves off, and it was did not go well for
Speaker 1: little Marco. But now you have Trump facing off against Bloomberg,
Speaker 1: and here's what they're getting. They're saying nasty stuff about
Speaker 1: each other. Which the egos here, Let's be honest, These
Speaker 1: egos are titanic, and both guys Titanic egos. And you
Speaker 1: have Trump who's saying this about Bloomberg. Play seventeen. Please,
Speaker 1: he's practically crying, saying what a horrible thing he did.
Speaker 1: I think that's so disingenuous. You know what I'm talking about, Fellas,
Speaker 1: that was so a Bloomberg. Look, he's a lightweight. He's
Speaker 1: a lightweight. You're going to find that out. He's also
Speaker 1: one of the worst debaters I've ever seen, and his
Speaker 1: presence is zero. So he'll spend his three, four or
Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars maybe they will take it away. Frankly,
Speaker 1: I'd rather run against Bloomberg than Bernie Sanders because Sanders
Speaker 1: has real followers. Whether you like him or not, whether
Speaker 1: you agree with him or not. I happen to think
Speaker 1: it's terrible what he says, but he has followers. Bloomberg's
Speaker 1: just buying his way in. But we're going to find
Speaker 1: out what happens. We're going to find out. But when
Speaker 1: you watch, go back to the chair where he apologized
Speaker 1: for everything he ever did practically, and he looked pathetic.
Speaker 1: Our country doesn't need that kind of leadership. A president's
Speaker 1: assaults here on Bloomberg, I think is spot on. There
Speaker 1: were some conservatives, including some whom I like very much,
Speaker 1: who immediately I think maybe they got caught up in
Speaker 1: attacking Bloomberg is helpful to Trump, so they just attacked
Speaker 1: without really thinking through that. Bloomberg's tape, the one that
Speaker 1: I played for you, played for you on the air,
Speaker 1: that's just someone speaking honestly about criminal justice in New
Speaker 1: York City, and as I told you, ended up saving hundreds,
Speaker 1: if not thousands of predominantly minority lives in this city.
Speaker 1: And you shouldn't back down from that. You could say,
Speaker 1: maybe tonally I was a little bit off, but I
Speaker 1: stand behind you. Know, yeah, you should put more police
Speaker 1: in higher crime neighborhoods. And when more police are in
Speaker 1: higher crime neighborhoods, and those higher crime neighborhoods are overwhelmingly minority.
Speaker 1: That means there'll be more minorities arrested, it means there'll
Speaker 1: be more minority con with law enforcement. But it also
Speaker 1: means more minorities can go to work and stay in
Speaker 1: their homes and run their businesses in safety and security.
Speaker 1: And that's the ultimate purpose of that police presence. That's
Speaker 1: what you say. You don't you don't run away from
Speaker 1: the woke, the woke squad right away, which is what
Speaker 1: Bloomberg did. All of a sudden, He's gonna, oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have done it, and you know, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to I sound a little bit like Bloomberg, but he's
Speaker 1: you know, he's almost like too boring to impersonate. It's
Speaker 1: kind of all it's sort of all you know, he
Speaker 1: has like a little bit of this, and it's like
Speaker 1: he's he doesn't really want to have to talk to you,
Speaker 1: but like, all right, fine, Like can I just pay
Speaker 1: someone else to talk to you? Please? Like I'm worth
Speaker 1: like a hundred bajillion dollars and I just I don't
Speaker 1: really you know that that's kind of Bloomberg. That's kind
Speaker 1: of what you get. This smart guy. He's not a
Speaker 1: charismatic guy. But when Trump says that he's trying to
Speaker 1: buy his way in usually this is a talking point
Speaker 1: or from for mostly from Democrats, who say, oh, money
Speaker 1: in politics and remember sorroast money good, coke money bad? Right? Uh,
Speaker 1: the way the way the Libs frame it, you know,
Speaker 1: Bezos owning the Washington Post good, murroc owning Fox News bad.
Speaker 1: This This is the way. This is the formulation. It's
Speaker 1: not rooted in anything other than they like their team.
Speaker 1: They don't like the other team. It's just true. You know,
Speaker 1: some billionaires are great because they fund far left calls.
Speaker 1: You know Tom Stier pushing all that money for impeachment.
Speaker 1: By the way, Trump should send him a nice fruit basket,
Speaker 1: you know, a nice bottle of sustainably farmed organic you know,
Speaker 1: non sulfate free trade wine or something, if that's I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a thing, but it probably could
Speaker 1: be now. By the way, I might start a fight
Speaker 1: later with all of you about whether or not is
Speaker 1: dry age really worth the extra price. I don't know,
Speaker 1: for for for red meat. I've been going back and
Speaker 1: forth on this. I don't know that'll come up. I
Speaker 1: got to talk about the perfect Valentine's Day stake. That'll
Speaker 1: be a fun part of the show. So all right,
Speaker 1: So Bloomberg is being accused of buying his way in
Speaker 1: or that that's what people are saying. And here's the
Speaker 1: thing about that, it's true. He is he actually is
Speaker 1: buying his way in. He's not a rich guy who
Speaker 1: uses some of his own money and is raising a
Speaker 1: lot of them. He's not taking any to it. He's
Speaker 1: just he's just writing checks. And he has a pretty
Speaker 1: substantial media apparatus, Bloomberg News behind him, pushing him and
Speaker 1: pushing other Democrats, and the stories I'm reading about this,
Speaker 1: I gotta say, it's pretty amazing, you know, one of
Speaker 1: the one of the I wouldn't say it's a regret.
Speaker 1: It would have been fun if I when I were younger,
Speaker 1: I went in the CIA, and you can't work in
Speaker 1: the CIA and be in a campaign. So there really
Speaker 1: wasn't a time in my life as an adult when
Speaker 1: I realistically could have been doing m campaign work. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think maybe you can do it on your own.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hatch Ack rules say about it,
Speaker 1: but I mean I was busy trying to kill terrorists,
Speaker 1: and by kill terrorists. I mean, write the memos about
Speaker 1: how they bad and how the elite military that I
Speaker 1: was working with would actually go get the bad guys.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless I didn't really have time or the or
Speaker 1: the ability to work on you to meaningful to do
Speaker 1: full time campaign work. That's really what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: And you see these people out there who are very young,
Speaker 1: who are doing they're doing these interviews about the Bloomberg campaign.
Speaker 1: You're finding twenty three and twenty four year old campaign
Speaker 1: staffers who expect to make on an annual basis about
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars a year maybe, And keep in mind
Speaker 1: that that's if it goes for twelve months. So you
Speaker 1: gotta do the math on what they're actually making month
Speaker 1: to month, because the moment your campaign ends, you're done, right,
Speaker 1: the money stops. Bloomberg is paying twenty some odd year
Speaker 1: old political organizers like people that are very very much
Speaker 1: the grunts, you know, the ground forces of his ground
Speaker 1: game in politics, six seventh, six or seven thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a month, yeah, and is guaranteeing people that and this
Speaker 1: is a big point that I want to go on
Speaker 1: and return to. It is guarantee that they will be
Speaker 1: able to do this through the election. So if you
Speaker 1: go work for Bloomberg right now, you not only get
Speaker 1: about double or really a little over double what you
Speaker 1: would expect to make in the course of working on
Speaker 1: a political campaign, you are guaranteed that until November, so
Speaker 1: basically close to through the you know, through almost the
Speaker 1: end of the year, and they'll I'm sure they'll pay
Speaker 1: those people through November and December, and they'll give them
Speaker 1: some severance or something because it's Bloomberg. I mean, the
Speaker 1: guy's walking around just you know, just just ripping one
Speaker 1: hundred dollar bills at everybody. It's crazy. This means that
Speaker 1: he's able to buy a ground game, he's able to
Speaker 1: buy an army, a political army. That's what that is
Speaker 1: what he's doing. He's actually doing it. This is not
Speaker 1: just a you know, Democrats all money in politics and
Speaker 1: all this stuff. No, no, this is this is a
Speaker 1: real thing that's happening. I mean, produce your brand that
Speaker 1: if someone came up to you and said, hey, we
Speaker 1: want we want to pay you six thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: month guaranteed from now till November, they'll be basically no
Speaker 1: oversight over what you're doing whatsoever. Just do your best
Speaker 1: to do some political organizing. And you get to work
Speaker 1: in a super fancy headquarters right in Times Square, and
Speaker 1: they're going to bring in catered food every day for you,
Speaker 1: three meals a day, including they spent I think forty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in one month on I think that was
Speaker 1: what it was on sushi. I would highly consider it.
Speaker 1: You would consider it, right, I mean you prefer the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hut, of course. But you know this is a
Speaker 1: lot of money you had sold halfway, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a good this is a good setup, is
Speaker 1: a good deal. Let's imagine you didn't have a gig
Speaker 1: at all, right now, right, someone says to you, Look,
Speaker 1: imagine I didn't have a gig. Someone says, go work
Speaker 1: in the Bluebird campaign. We'll pay you six g's a month,
Speaker 1: cover all your food expenses throughout the day. And basically
Speaker 1: no one expects you to win. So just like, do
Speaker 1: whatever you want. It sounds great, right, sounds like a
Speaker 1: free ride. Look, this is no one's ever done this.
Speaker 1: This is an experiment that's never been run before. You
Speaker 1: know you had you know, Jeb Bush, please clap raised
Speaker 1: or spent one hundred million dollars. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 1: One hundred million dollars of other people's money. Now he's
Speaker 1: a rich guy, but he's probably like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what the bushes are really worth. You know, tens of millions,
Speaker 1: I think, I don't think they're ultra rich, right, they're rich.
Speaker 1: You know, he's spent one hundred million dollars of other
Speaker 1: people's money and got a delegate. I think, I mean
Speaker 1: just was a total The campaign was a total bust. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: people have spent massive sums of money in politics, but
Speaker 1: raising it from other people changes the game. Bloomberg is like,
Speaker 1: who wants to get Mike Bloomberg? Help Mike Bloomberg get
Speaker 1: elected president? And what is it? What do I have
Speaker 1: to pay you to get you to do it? No
Speaker 1: political campaign? Political campaigns have long hours. So many of
Speaker 1: my friends have worked on them, long hours, grueling work.
Speaker 1: A lot of it is grunt work. It's it's not sexy,
Speaker 1: it's boring stuff. But if they're gonna bring in catered sushi,
Speaker 1: and I'm a sweet green man myself, like some of
Speaker 1: these fancy salad places, but or maybe perhaps they don't
Speaker 1: have in and out Burger in New York. Why don't
Speaker 1: want But they do have shake shack. You're gonna bring
Speaker 1: me free shake shack every day in a gluten free bun.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying I'm not saying that I
Speaker 1: would have gone to work on the Bedo campaign if
Speaker 1: he had offered these kind of benefits, But I am
Speaker 1: saying I might have considered it. Let folks, this is
Speaker 1: no one's ever done this before. No one's ever been
Speaker 1: able to spend these kinds of resources to make working
Speaker 1: for Mike Bloomberg, really really, and look, this is a
Speaker 1: guy who understands, understands the free market, understands how to
Speaker 1: run a business, understands incentives. He's horrible on national level policy.
Speaker 1: He's horrible on climate change and guns and nanny stata.
Speaker 1: I get all of that, But if you're getting the
Speaker 1: opportunity to go work for the Bloomberg campaign and versus
Speaker 1: all the other Democrat campaigns right now, gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: he's bringing in a lot of talent and a lot
Speaker 1: of people are trying to get get in the door
Speaker 1: and get on the Bloomberg gravy train. This has never
Speaker 1: happened before. But there's one way that I think this
Speaker 1: could be really meaningful for who becomes next president United States.
Speaker 1: I don't think it will be Bloomberg. But there's something
Speaker 1: else that we have to remember. I'll get to that
Speaker 1: in just a second. All right, just before we continue
Speaker 1: on with our ken Bloomberg actually buy the presidency, which
Speaker 1: I think the answer is no. But who knows. Morning
Speaker 1: Consult has a new poll out today, and look, I know,
Speaker 1: poles changed, YadA YadA. Pundits love to talk about poles,
Speaker 1: but I'm much more interested in the micro analysis that
Speaker 1: we can take here or the this snapshot in time
Speaker 1: of what what is happening in the Democratic primary that
Speaker 1: we think is happening. It is happening. Here's there. This
Speaker 1: is the poll was a question was Democratic primary voters
Speaker 1: were asked whom they would vote for if the primary
Speaker 1: or caucus were held in their state today. Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: was before New Hampshire getting twenty five percent of that vote.
Speaker 1: Now he's at twenty nine percent, up four points. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was at twenty two percent, drop three points to
Speaker 1: nineteen percent. So now you got Bernie at twenty nine
Speaker 1: Biden at nineteen. It's a pretty healthy, healthy gap. Mike
Speaker 1: Bloomberg my friends number three in this national poll. This
Speaker 1: is asking all Democrats all across the country. Mike Bloomberg
Speaker 1: is now eighteen percent. Bloomberg just showed up and has
Speaker 1: bought himself into almost third place. I'm sorry, almost second place.
Speaker 1: He isn't third place nationally in this poll based on
Speaker 1: Democrat reception across the country. And then Pete Buddha Judge
Speaker 1: is at eleven, Elizabeth Warren is down to ten, she
Speaker 1: dropped one. Booda Judge is pretty much standing constant, and
Speaker 1: Kloba char is down to the bottom round five percent.
Speaker 1: Now she's got a little bump out of New Hampshire,
Speaker 1: but not much, I mean according to this. Now you
Speaker 1: have to see how it plays out in Nevada, South Carolina.
Speaker 1: I think Biden's gonna You're gonna see Biden's numbers jump,
Speaker 1: you know, three, four five points after South Carolina because
Speaker 1: people can say, oh he wants at Carolina. Gotta see
Speaker 1: how he does in Nevada. Not sure how that's gonna
Speaker 1: shake out. But Bernie is clearly right now the front runner.
Speaker 1: But we're talking Bloomberg, Maya Bloeberg and he producer brand
Speaker 1: it thinks of my Blueberg is actually pretty good for
Speaker 1: the record, So you know, it's kind of like it's
Speaker 1: like he's just he doesn't want to have to address
Speaker 1: all the stupid people in the room, and he's just
Speaker 1: why do you want to drink you giant soda? It's
Speaker 1: so much sugar, It's so bad for you, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of uh. It just reminds me of
Speaker 1: more Goldman from Family Guy. I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: just sort of like jury boys, Fine, you're gonna ask me,
Speaker 1: You're gonna ask me questions. Can I just can I
Speaker 1: just throw Like if I gave you a million dollars?
Speaker 1: Would you stop asking me annoying questions? Press? Like? Could
Speaker 1: I just give you all? Like how about that? We'll
Speaker 1: come up with some kind of a deal. Oh Man
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Bloomberg guito for those of you who remember when
Speaker 1: he was mayor in New York City. All right, so
Speaker 1: this morning Console Pole shows what we all thought happened,
Speaker 1: which is Biden is Biden is almost on the ropes here.
Speaker 1: Bloomberg is third place nationally, so clearly he's been able
Speaker 1: to buy something, he's been able to throw money. And
Speaker 1: by the way, it's not fair to say, just that
Speaker 1: he's buying, and I mean the money is a huge
Speaker 1: part of it. But it's also interesting that he gets
Speaker 1: to skip you know, he's gonna have this narrative and
Speaker 1: I think Republicans need to be prepared for this. He's
Speaker 1: going to skip past all these all these people that
Speaker 1: have to do the oh, I'm gonna have to kiss
Speaker 1: the babies ds and then go and talk to this
Speaker 1: union and talk to that constituency trying to raise money.
Speaker 1: He just gets to focus on messaging and has an
Speaker 1: army of people doing messaging for him. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: paying like Instagram influencers that some of you listening, I
Speaker 1: mean your kids might be really into, or those of
Speaker 1: you who are Team buck gen Z might be falling
Speaker 1: into the category. But you know a guy, I don't
Speaker 1: know how else to say it. His name is Blank Jerry,
Speaker 1: who's a well known I can't That's all I can say.
Speaker 1: Blank Jerry's a well known Instagram influencer. He's doing Bloomberg stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're going out. And there's another there's
Speaker 1: another well known Instagram influencer. I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: gone gone after him yet or Bloomberg has paid him yet,
Speaker 1: but his name is In fact, he goes by the moniker,
Speaker 1: the Fat Jewish, Bruster Brandon familiar with he. You know,
Speaker 1: they're going for people like that, Instagram influencers who are
Speaker 1: thought of as being very edgy and culturally relevant, and
Speaker 1: they're taking wads of cash. Although I don't think mister
Speaker 1: mister Jewish has done that yet, or mister mister the
Speaker 1: Fat Jewish whatever. I don't know his real name, but
Speaker 1: I just know that's his stage name, um right, I mean,
Speaker 1: do you know do you know his real name? Producer
Speaker 1: Brandon might know his real name. I don't. I may
Speaker 1: have known at a certain point, but I just don't
Speaker 1: like what he's about as a member, as a member
Speaker 1: of the Jewish community, Brandon, how do we feel about
Speaker 1: a gentleman calling himself of the Fat Jewish all the time?
Speaker 1: It's a it's a poor stick, it's get old. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a funny. He's got oh like a
Speaker 1: couple of million Instagram followers, right, he's big on Instagram.
Speaker 1: It's offensive to real brilliant Jewish comedians like mel Brooks.
Speaker 1: That's how I look at it. It's like, it's so lazy,
Speaker 1: you know that's you think, it's like almost it's almost
Speaker 1: exploitation of Jewish culture that does not elevate the humorous
Speaker 1: aspects of it the way that it has been by
Speaker 1: the great luminaries of humor in the past. If you
Speaker 1: remember the Brian Franstein character on Seinfeld when he converted
Speaker 1: just for the jokes. According to the Jerry, he's he
Speaker 1: wanted a stickle Florid. He starts using these I mean
Speaker 1: and he wasn't Jewish, you know, according to jew Did
Speaker 1: you ever did you ever see the uh the Larry
Speaker 1: David episode where he finds out that this lawyer isn't Jewish. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he says like shalom and he's, you know, masl
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. Larry David's like, I don't I'm
Speaker 1: not okay with this whatever. He's like, what do you mean, Larry,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be culturally, you know, culturally sensitive.
Speaker 1: And he's like, no, you're not trying to make people
Speaker 1: think you're a Jewish lawyer. You had to earn it it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, so there's all these Instagram influencers who are
Speaker 1: getting paid all this money because they're not only is
Speaker 1: Bloomberger will get his messaging out. He's messaging is being
Speaker 1: made kind of cool. There's this story the New York
Speaker 1: Times about the waterfall of Bloomberg money talking about a
Speaker 1: pro Bloomberg for President. I was gonna say, for mayor
Speaker 1: for President party that he threw in Miami with they
Speaker 1: were handing out like, uh, you know, breed drizzled in
Speaker 1: honey and fancy canopay and the waite staff was wearing
Speaker 1: all black, you know, black suits except for red, white
Speaker 1: and blue Bloomberg T shirts. And you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if there were like go go dancers and cages
Speaker 1: or anything that that's probably off brand. But I'm just
Speaker 1: saying it was like a fancy Miami party. And if
Speaker 1: I got invited to that Bloomberg party, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: I'm voting from Mike. I'm going for Trump all the way.
Speaker 1: Am I gonna go eat some breed drizzled and honey?
Speaker 1: Though it is a weakness that I have, you know,
Speaker 1: it is something that I can't say I would I
Speaker 1: would quickly, I would quickly turn down. So there's that.
Speaker 1: So that's a thing that that's a thing that's real. Um,
Speaker 1: what else did I have for you? On Bloomberg. There
Speaker 1: are a few more. Oh, well, how is he how
Speaker 1: is he positioning himself in this? Please play Procure brand
Speaker 1: and please play fourteen. Even though Donald and I are
Speaker 1: both from New York, the truth is we could not
Speaker 1: be more different. In fact, I build myself as the
Speaker 1: Untrump is a selection is too important for our party
Speaker 1: to have the kind of too important, that kind of
Speaker 1: divisions we sat we saw back in twenty sixteen, too
Speaker 1: important to have. Yeah, I got it. That's that's I'm
Speaker 1: right in there. I'm in the I'm close to getting
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg, the Bloomer voice down right. But he's saying
Speaker 1: he's the un Trump. Well, if he were to win
Speaker 1: the nomination, you would have two white male uh boomer
Speaker 1: billionaires from New York City vying for the presidency. It's
Speaker 1: pretty amazing in a country at three hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: million people with a tremendous actual diversity, that it would
Speaker 1: be two guys who basically have lived ten blocks from
Speaker 1: each other for the last forty years. I mean, I mean, yet,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know exact Bloomberg's I guess
Speaker 1: in his places out there side. Okay, he lived like
Speaker 1: twenty blocks from each other. But yeah, trust me, they've
Speaker 1: been going to the same restaurants. I could I could
Speaker 1: rattle off the top of my head the restaurants that
Speaker 1: Bloomberg and Trump have been going through for a long time. Well,
Speaker 1: then again, Trump is probably Mickey D's. He likes Mickey D's. Um,
Speaker 1: maybe Chick Filo these days, but he's definitely in the
Speaker 1: Mickey D's. So we've got that here. Here's how I
Speaker 1: think that this could really matter, or this could really
Speaker 1: change change things in a significant way. Bloomberg has also
Speaker 1: vowed to use the apparatus that he is I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say building the apparatus that he has bought and paid
Speaker 1: for for the presidency to help whoever is the nominee.
Speaker 1: So there's this talk of broker convention and everyone says
Speaker 1: that and no one even people say this, and I'll
Speaker 1: be honest, they don't even really understands how that works.
Speaker 1: I mean, the people that are talking about it on TV.
Speaker 1: But you know, maybe there's a broker convention and Bloomberg
Speaker 1: becomes the you know, the the savior of the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party or the guy who unites it. I think that's
Speaker 1: unlikely that Bernie bros will completely flip out. He's literally
Speaker 1: a billionaire oligock. I mean, let's be real, he is
Speaker 1: a billionaire oligarc right, So Bernie's run around thing the billionaires,
Speaker 1: the billionaires, the oli Cocks, all the millionaires. Now that's
Speaker 1: the Bernie's millionaire, so they can't really the billionaires and
Speaker 1: the oligos. And then he can point the Bloomberg and
Speaker 1: be like, say, I told you, and he's right, he
Speaker 1: did tell us it looks like he can buy it.
Speaker 1: Looks like you can buy our democracy. But if he
Speaker 1: takes the apparatus that he's bought and paid for, if
Speaker 1: Bloomberg takes that and leverages it to assist someone else
Speaker 1: in the you know, the Democrat field, that will be
Speaker 1: that will be a thing that we can't really factor in.
Speaker 1: How does that work out? What happens when you have
Speaker 1: Bernie to just just follow me on this. When what
Speaker 1: happens when you have Bernie level enthusiasm, let's say, meaning
Speaker 1: his people that are all Bernie's gonna save America by
Speaker 1: making everything free, and we hate the corporations, and you know,
Speaker 1: Bernie people are intense, man. You know they're the only
Speaker 1: ones that line up in terms of their fervor for
Speaker 1: their candidate. With Trump supporters, you know, please, did you
Speaker 1: see the Buddha Judge supporters. They're like, they're like, I
Speaker 1: can't even do the song. They had some horrible song
Speaker 1: they were doing for a while. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about? The Budda Judge song where they were
Speaker 1: like apping and stuff. Whatever. It wasn't it wasn't good.
Speaker 1: It wasn't good. So anyway, the Bernie people can line
Speaker 1: up against the Trump people, and now you have to
Speaker 1: think what happens if those Bernie people then are also
Speaker 1: able to say, Hey, at the Bernie rally courtesy of
Speaker 1: Mayor Bloomberg, we're gonna have breed drizzled in honey and
Speaker 1: people passing out, you know, Toro, Fatty Tuna, big fan
Speaker 1: of it and things like that. It's all free. Just
Speaker 1: show up at the rally and also stay and we're
Speaker 1: going to give out like really high quality organic cotton
Speaker 1: T shirts with Bernie for President on them, courtesy of
Speaker 1: Mayor Bloomberg. You start to see how that could be
Speaker 1: a thing. But now, would would Bloomberg do that for Bernie?
Speaker 1: I think Bloomberg stepping in because he understands what Burnie
Speaker 1: would mean for the country. I think he would do
Speaker 1: it for He'd do it for Klobaschar. He would do it,
Speaker 1: you know. I think he's promised that he'll support the nominee,
Speaker 1: but will he use the resources at his disposal to
Speaker 1: help that nomine with the apparatus he's currently paying for
Speaker 1: and saying he's going to pay for it through the election.
Speaker 1: He'd do it for Mayor Pete. He'd do it for
Speaker 1: Kloba Schar. He'd definitely do it for Biden. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he would do it for Bernie. And think
Speaker 1: about the message that that would say. Think about the
Speaker 1: civil war that could be ignited with the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: if that happens to be the case. So I'm telling
Speaker 1: you Bloomberg is an X factor. I don't mean that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that we that mean we don't know. But
Speaker 1: Bloomberg is an X factor in all of this. When
Speaker 1: you have that much money to spend and that much
Speaker 1: organizational savvy who knows. Thanks for listening to The Bus
Speaker 1: Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right,
Speaker 1: just before we continue on with our Ken Bloomberg actually
Speaker 1: buy the presidency, which I think the answer is no.
Speaker 1: But who knows. Morning Consult has a new pole out today,
Speaker 1: and look, I know, polls changed, YadA YadA. Pundits love
Speaker 1: to talk about polls, but I'm much more interested in
Speaker 1: the micro analysis that we can take here or the
Speaker 1: this snapshot in time of what what is happening in
Speaker 1: the Democratic primary that we think is happening. It is happening,
Speaker 1: here's there. This is the poll was a question was
Speaker 1: Democratic primary voters were asked whom they would vote for
Speaker 1: if the primary or caucus were held in their state today.
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders was before New Hampshire getting twenty five percent
Speaker 1: of that vote. Now he's at twenty nine percent, up
Speaker 1: four points. Joe Biden was at twenty two percent, dropped
Speaker 1: three points to nineteen percent. So now you got Bernie
Speaker 1: at twenty nine Biden at nineteen. That's a that's a
Speaker 1: pretty healthy, healthy gap. Mike Bloomberg, my friends, number three
Speaker 1: in this national poll. This is asking all Democrats all
Speaker 1: across the country. Mike Bloomberg is now eighteen percent. Bloomberg
Speaker 1: just showed up and has bought himself into almost third place.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, almost second place. He isn't third place nationally
Speaker 1: in this poll based on Democrat perception across the country.
Speaker 1: And then Pete Buddha Judge is at eleven, Elizabeth Warren's
Speaker 1: down to ten, she dropped one, Booda Judge is pretty
Speaker 1: much staying constant, and Klobaschar is down to the bottom
Speaker 1: round five percent. Now she's got a little bump out
Speaker 1: of New Hampshire, but not much, I mean, according to
Speaker 1: this Now you have to see how it plays out
Speaker 1: in Nevada, South Carolina. I think Biden's gonna You're gonna
Speaker 1: see Biden's numbers jump, you know, three four, five points
Speaker 1: after South Carolina because people can say, oh he wants
Speaker 1: at Carolina. Gotta see how he does in Nevada. Not
Speaker 1: sure how that's gonna shake out. But Bernie is clearly
Speaker 1: right now the front runner. But we're talking Bloomberg Mayor
Speaker 1: Bloomberg and he producer brand It thinks of my Bloomberg
Speaker 1: is actually pretty good for record, So you know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like it's like he's just he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to have to address all the stupid people in the room,
Speaker 1: and he's just why do you want to drink your
Speaker 1: giant soda. It's so much sugar, It's so bad for you, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's kind of It just reminds me
Speaker 1: of more Goldman from Family Guy. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's just sort of like jerky boys. Fine, you're gonna
Speaker 1: ask me, You're gonna ask me questions. Can I just
Speaker 1: can I just throw? Like if I gave you a
Speaker 1: million dollars? Would you stop asking me annoying questions? Press? Like?
Speaker 1: Could I just give you all? Like? How about that?
Speaker 1: We'll come up with some kind of a deal. Oh
Speaker 1: Man Bloomberg Bloomberg Ghito for those of you who remember
Speaker 1: when he was mayor in New York City. All right,
Speaker 1: so this morning Console Pole shows what we all thought happened,
Speaker 1: which is Biden is Biden is almost on the ropes here.
Speaker 1: Bloomberg is third place nationally. So clearly he's been able
Speaker 1: to buy something, he's been able to throw money. And
Speaker 1: by way, it's not fair to say just that he
Speaker 1: buying and I mean the money is a huge part
Speaker 1: of it, but it's also interesting that he gets to skip.
Speaker 1: You know, he's going to have this narrative and I
Speaker 1: think Republicans need to be prepared for this. He's going
Speaker 1: to skip past all these all these people that have
Speaker 1: to do the Oh I'm gonna have to kiss the
Speaker 1: baby's heads and then go and talk to this union
Speaker 1: and talk to that constituency trying to raise money. He
Speaker 1: just gets to focus on messaging and has an army
Speaker 1: of people doing messaging for him. I mean, he's paying
Speaker 1: like Instagram influencers that some of you listening, I mean
Speaker 1: your kids might be really into or those of you
Speaker 1: who are Team buck gen Z might be falling into
Speaker 1: the category. But you know a guy, I don't know
Speaker 1: how else to say it. His name is Blank Jerry,
Speaker 1: who's a well known I can't That's all I can say.
Speaker 1: Blank Jerry is a well known Instagram influencer. He's doing
Speaker 1: Bloomberg stuff. I mean they're they're going out. And there's
Speaker 1: another there's another well known Instagram influencer. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he's gone gone after him yet or Bloomberg has
Speaker 1: paid him yet, but his name is In fact, he
Speaker 1: goes by the Moniker, the fat Jewish Bruster Brandon familiar
Speaker 1: with he. You know, they're going for people like that,
Speaker 1: Instagram influencers who are thought of as being very edgy
Speaker 1: and culturally relevant, and they're taking wads of cash, although
Speaker 1: I don't think mister mister Jewish has done that yet,
Speaker 1: or mister mister the Fat Jewish whatever. I don't know
Speaker 1: his real name, but I just know that's his stage name.
Speaker 1: Um right, I mean, do you know do you know
Speaker 1: his real name? Bruce Brandon might might know his real name.
Speaker 1: I don't, because I may have known at a certain point,
Speaker 1: but I just don't like what he's about as a member,
Speaker 1: as a member of the Jewish community, Brandon, how do
Speaker 1: we feel about a gentleman calling himself the fat Jewish
Speaker 1: all the time? It's a it's a poor stick, it's
Speaker 1: a gets old, Yeah, it's a it's a he's got
Speaker 1: oh like a couple million Instagram followers, right, he's big
Speaker 1: on Instagram. It's offensive to real brilliant Jewish comedians like
Speaker 1: mel Brooks. That's how I look at it. I might
Speaker 1: it's so lazy, you know, that's you think. It's like
Speaker 1: almost it's almost exploitation of Jewish culture that does not
Speaker 1: elevate the humorous aspects of it the way that it
Speaker 1: has been by the great luminaries of humor in the past.
Speaker 1: If you remember the Brian Kranstein character on Seinfeld when
Speaker 1: he converted just for the jokes. According to the Jerry,
Speaker 1: he's he wanted a stickle of flooride. He starts using
Speaker 1: these I mean and he wasn't Jewish, you know, according
Speaker 1: to jew Did you ever did you ever see the
Speaker 1: the Larry David episode where he finds out that this
Speaker 1: lawyer isn't Jewish. Yeah, but he says like shalom and
Speaker 1: he's you know, mozl and all this stuff. Larry David's like,
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not okay with this whatever. He's like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean, Larry, I'm just trying to be culturally,
Speaker 1: you know, culturally sensitive. And he's like, no, you're not
Speaker 1: trying to make people think you're a Jewish lawyer. You
Speaker 1: had to earn it it. Yeah. So anyway, so there's
Speaker 1: all these Instagram influencers who are getting paid all this
Speaker 1: money because they're not only is Bloomberger will get his
Speaker 1: messaging out. He's messaging is being made kind of cool.
Speaker 1: There is this story the New York Times about the
Speaker 1: waterfall of Bloomberg money talking about a pro Bloomberg for president.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, for Mayor for President party that
Speaker 1: he threw in Miami with they were handing out like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, breed drizzled in honey and fancy canopey and
Speaker 1: the wait staff was wearing all black, you know, black
Speaker 1: suits except for red, white and blue Bloomberg T shirts.
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know if there were like
Speaker 1: go go dancers and cages or anything that that's probably
Speaker 1: off brand. But I'm just saying it was like a
Speaker 1: fancy Miami party. And if I got invited to that
Speaker 1: Bloomberg party, I'm not saying I'm voting from Mike. I'm
Speaker 1: going for Trump all the way. Am I gonna go
Speaker 1: eat some breed drizzled in honey? Though it is a
Speaker 1: weakness that I have, you know, it is something that
Speaker 1: I can't say I would, I would quickly, I would
Speaker 1: quickly turn down. So there's that. So that's a thing
Speaker 1: that that's a thing that's real. Um what else did
Speaker 1: I have for you on on Bloomberg? There are a
Speaker 1: few more? Oh well, how is he? How is he
Speaker 1: positioning himself in this? Please play PreCure Brandon, Please play fourteen.
Speaker 1: Even though Donald and I are both from New York,
Speaker 1: the truth is we could not be more different. In fact,
Speaker 1: I build myself as the Untrump is this selection is
Speaker 1: too important for our party to have the kind of
Speaker 1: too important that the kind of divisions we sat we
Speaker 1: saw back in twenty sixteen, too important to have that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got it. That's that's I'm right in there. I'm
Speaker 1: in the I'm close to getting the Bloomberg the Bloomer
Speaker 1: voice down right. But he's saying he's the Untrump. Well,
Speaker 1: if you were to win the nomination, you would have
Speaker 1: two white male boomer billionaires from New York City vying
Speaker 1: for the presidency. It's pretty amazing in a country at
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty million people with a tremendous actual diversity.
Speaker 1: That facts, it would be two guys who basically have
Speaker 1: lived ten blocks from each other for the last forty years.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean yet, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know exactly Bloomberg's I guess in his places out there side. Okay,
Speaker 1: he lived like twenty blocks from each other. But you know,
Speaker 1: trust me, they've been going to the same restaurants. I
Speaker 1: could I could rattle off the top of my head
Speaker 1: the restaurants that Bloomberg and Trump have been going through
Speaker 1: for a long time. Well, then again, Trump is probably
Speaker 1: Mickey D's. He likes Mickey D's. Um, maybe Chick fil
Speaker 1: A these days, but he's definitely in the Mickey D's.
Speaker 1: So we've got that here. Here's how I think that
Speaker 1: this could really matter, or this could really change change
Speaker 1: things in a significant way. Bloomberg has also vowed to
Speaker 1: use the apparatus that he is I wouldn't say building
Speaker 1: the apparatus that he has bought and paid for for
Speaker 1: the presidency to help whoever is the nominee. So there's
Speaker 1: this talk of broker convention and everyone says that and
Speaker 1: no one even people say this, and I'll be honest,
Speaker 1: they don't even really understand how that works. I mean
Speaker 1: the people that are talking about it on TV. But
Speaker 1: you know, maybe there's a broker convention and Bloomberg becomes
Speaker 1: the you know, the the savior of the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: or the guy who unites it. I think that's unlikely.
Speaker 1: Bernie bros. Will completely flip out. He's literally a billionaire Oligock.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be real, he is a billionaire oligarc right,
Speaker 1: So Berni's went around saying the billionaires, the billionaires, the
Speaker 1: oli cocks all the millionaires. Now that's the Bernie's the millionaires,
Speaker 1: so they can't really the billionaires and the oligos. And
Speaker 1: then he can point the Bloomberg and be like, say,
Speaker 1: I told you, and he's right, he did tell us.
Speaker 1: It looks like he can buy it. Looks like you
Speaker 1: can buy our democracy. But if he takes the apparatus
Speaker 1: that he's bought and paid for, if Bloomberg takes that
Speaker 1: and leverages it to assist someone else in the you know,
Speaker 1: the Democrat field, that will be that will be a
Speaker 1: thing that we can't really factor in. How does that
Speaker 1: work out? What happens when you have Bernie to just
Speaker 1: just follow me on this, When what happens when you
Speaker 1: have Bernie level enthusiasm, let's say, meaning his people that
Speaker 1: are all Perni's gonna save America by making everything free
Speaker 1: and we hate the corporations. And you know, Bernie people
Speaker 1: are intense, man. You know, they're the only ones that
Speaker 1: line up in terms of their fervor for their candidate
Speaker 1: with Trump supporters. You know, please, did you see the
Speaker 1: Buddha Judge supporters. They're like, they're like, I can't even
Speaker 1: do the song. They had some horrible song they were
Speaker 1: doing for a while, do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: The Buddha Judge song where they were like clapping and stuff. Whatever.
Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't good. It wasn't good. So anyway,
Speaker 1: the Bernie people can line up against the Trump people,
Speaker 1: and now you have to think what happens if those
Speaker 1: Bernie people then are also able to say, Hey, at
Speaker 1: the Bernie rally courtesy of Mayor Bloomberg, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: breed drizzled in honey and people passing out, you know, Toro,
Speaker 1: Fatty Tuna, big fan of it and things like that.
Speaker 1: It's all free. Just show up at the rally and
Speaker 1: also stay and we're gonna give out like really high
Speaker 1: quality organic cotton t shirts with Bernie for President on them,
Speaker 1: courtesy of Mayor Bloomberg. You start to see how that
Speaker 1: could be a thing. But now, would would Bloomberg do
Speaker 1: that for Bernie? I think Bloomberg stepping in because he
Speaker 1: understands what Burnie would mean for the country. I think
Speaker 1: he would do it for He'd do it for Cloba
Speaker 1: Shar He would do it. You know. I think he's
Speaker 1: promised that he'll support the nominee, But will he use
Speaker 1: the resources at his disposal to help that nominee with
Speaker 1: the apparatus he's currently paying for and saying he's going
Speaker 1: to pay for it through the election. He'd do it
Speaker 1: for Mayor Pete, he'd do it for Cloba Shar, He'd
Speaker 1: definitely do it for Biden. I don't know if he
Speaker 1: would do it for Bernie. And think about the message
Speaker 1: that that would say. Think about the civil war that
Speaker 1: could be ignited within the Democratic Party if that happens
Speaker 1: to be the case. So I'm telling you Bloomberg is
Speaker 1: an X factor. I don't mean that doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: we that mean we don't know, But Bloomberg is an
Speaker 1: X factor in all of this. When you have that
Speaker 1: much money to spend and that much organizational savvy, who
Speaker 1: knows you're in the freedom This is the Buck Sex
Speaker 1: and Show podcast. All right, I want to move on
Speaker 1: from mayor Mike. But this, this is a broader thing.
Speaker 1: This isn't really about the election. Get the guy's worth
Speaker 1: tens of billions of dollars forty to fifty billions. What
Speaker 1: you just see is the estimate. And he's asked, how
Speaker 1: do you become super successful? Sometimes sometimes people give advice
Speaker 1: on how to become successful, and I hear it and
Speaker 1: I go, oh, that's really good. That really that is
Speaker 1: something that will stay with me. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: and one day, maybe, if you want, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: the things that I've I've learned from experience I think
Speaker 1: are important and I wish I had known when I
Speaker 1: was younger. But maybe you have to experience it to
Speaker 1: really appreciate how important certain things are. But here's Bloomberg's
Speaker 1: advice to workers on how to become successful. Play nineteen
Speaker 1: smarter than anybody else, but I can out work you.
Speaker 1: And my key to success for you or for anybody
Speaker 1: else's make sure you're the first one in there every
Speaker 1: day and the last one. Believe, don't ever take a
Speaker 1: lunch break or go to the bathroom. You keep work,
Speaker 1: and you never know when that opportunity is going to
Speaker 1: come along. Now you might say, Buck, how could you
Speaker 1: argue with Boomberg? You're not worth you know, forty billion
Speaker 1: dollars whatever. But I got a few reasons. I think
Speaker 1: that's horrible advice he's giving it. I think that's absolutely
Speaker 1: garbage advice. And I could also point to a lot
Speaker 1: of other people who would say, yeah, no, that are
Speaker 1: very successful, that are that are self made, were a
Speaker 1: ton of money. You know, I can tell you. I
Speaker 1: can tell you this. You know, Elon Musk isn't worth
Speaker 1: what he's worth because he never leaves his desk and
Speaker 1: never goes for a potty break and has sandwiches brought
Speaker 1: to him and has no human interaction like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. This is a little bit of the self
Speaker 1: indulgent boomer fantasy work ethic that comes out sometimes where
Speaker 1: it's oh, I'm the I'm the president this company because
Speaker 1: all right, I went to work in the snow up
Speaker 1: to my neck. You know, I had no shoes and
Speaker 1: I wear bala Okay, I mean still like some people
Speaker 1: have amazing stories of success and going through trials and tribulations,
Speaker 1: But the truth is that in a lot of positions,
Speaker 1: you don't need to show up and just be there
Speaker 1: all the time and never do anything but work. You
Speaker 1: want to be thinking about your next move. You want
Speaker 1: to be thinking about are you growing, are you becoming
Speaker 1: more valuable in this role? Should you find another role
Speaker 1: in the company, should you find another job? How are
Speaker 1: you expending your energy? Is what you're doing useful or
Speaker 1: is it easy for anyone else to replicate it. If
Speaker 1: it's easy for anyone else to replicate it, just doing
Speaker 1: that repetition does not actually advance your career or your value.
Speaker 1: I've said before on this show that some of the
Speaker 1: best advice I was given when I was thinking about
Speaker 1: transitioning out of government work was by a long time,
Speaker 1: very smart guy in the government who said, no one
Speaker 1: to go all out of no one to do the minimum,
Speaker 1: meaning no one. You know, when the smart thing to do.
Speaker 1: It's never smart to shirk work. Look bad, not me,
Speaker 1: trouble again. It's never a good idea. But there are
Speaker 1: times when what you want to do is do exactly
Speaker 1: what is required of you and nothing else, because you
Speaker 1: need to be thinking about other things, conserving your energy
Speaker 1: for other things. That's a reality, especially in the modern workplace,
Speaker 1: where you know, companies come and go, you got startups.
Speaker 1: I mean, the culture has entirely changed. There's so much
Speaker 1: more dynamism and necessary flexibility in careers of people that
Speaker 1: are still building today. You know, to show up and
Speaker 1: just be at a place and be there for thirty years.
Speaker 1: That that doesn't really exist anymore because a lot of
Speaker 1: places that you're going to show up and aren't gonna
Speaker 1: exist in thirty years. There are you know, they're boom
Speaker 1: and bus cycles. You've got companies that are valued at
Speaker 1: billions of dollars that don't even make a profit. I
Speaker 1: mean a lot of stuff going on here. But I
Speaker 1: gotta say, I mean, far be it for me to
Speaker 1: give you different advice than than Mike Bloomberg. But I
Speaker 1: am doing that because he's wrong. The secret to success
Speaker 1: is not never take a potty break and never never
Speaker 1: go to lunch with anybody and be Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta put in long hours, but okay, you can
Speaker 1: put a long hour. If you put in long hours
Speaker 1: at the factory assembly line, and that's all you ever
Speaker 1: think about is putting in long hours, you'll get some
Speaker 1: mot But are you going to become a manager? Are
Speaker 1: you going to be Are you gonna become the guy
Speaker 1: that runs the factory one day? Probably not. You got
Speaker 1: to think about how you become that person. You have
Speaker 1: to be smart about your labor, As I said, no
Speaker 1: one to do the minimum and be strategic about your time.
Speaker 1: Time is the one thing you have that you can
Speaker 1: never get more of. You have to be thinking about
Speaker 1: maximizing your usage of time, and that also means energy
Speaker 1: and effort. If you go all out at everything you're going,
Speaker 1: you're not going to be successful and the most important things.
Speaker 1: So I mean, this is one reason why I always appreciate,
Speaker 1: for example, when people will even ask me, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: can you yeah, I just started, I just started a podcast.
Speaker 1: I'd love to have you on as a guest the answers.
Speaker 1: I would love to be a guest off anybody who's
Speaker 1: ever listened to me, and I really appreciate it, and
Speaker 1: it's very sweet and it means a lot. But if
Speaker 1: I said yes to every one of those requests, I
Speaker 1: would be doing that all the time, and that then
Speaker 1: takes up energy and time that I need to be
Speaker 1: spending on doing this show for all of you. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just a small personal exam but that's this is
Speaker 1: why I just can't do. I can't people ask me
Speaker 1: to come speak at at a at a group or
Speaker 1: a club, and if I could, I'd love to. But
Speaker 1: you know, by the time I got into plane and
Speaker 1: I go and you know, this is why there has
Speaker 1: to be a business proposition attached to it. You know,
Speaker 1: this is why people have speaker honorariums and things like that,
Speaker 1: because otherwise you're just flying around on your own time
Speaker 1: for free talking to people. And I love the people
Speaker 1: that I got to talk to, But I gotta keep
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt running. We gotta, you know, producer Brandon
Speaker 1: needs a new pair of shoes. We can't. We gotta
Speaker 1: run a business over here. So protecting your time is
Speaker 1: very important. And there are too many places where you
Speaker 1: can waste time in endeavors that are not advancing you,
Speaker 1: and especially if they're ground If you're getting ground down
Speaker 1: to the point where you're burning out, that's not that
Speaker 1: does not make you stronger, that's making you less effective
Speaker 1: in what you're doing. So I just think Bloomberg's it's
Speaker 1: just such a simplistic Oh I'm a billionaire now and
Speaker 1: I worked harder than everybody else. Bloomberg used leverage, he
Speaker 1: used connections, and he used savvy. Okay, he wasn't making
Speaker 1: iPhones with his fingers faster than everybody else, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, obviously wasn't making iPhones at all,
Speaker 1: But you see what I'm saying. It wasn't like, oh
Speaker 1: he just outworked everybody, No, he had he was in
Speaker 1: the right place at the right time. He leveraged connections
Speaker 1: and he thought about the big picture. You should be
Speaker 1: doing the same in your own life with whatever you do.
Speaker 1: Don't take Bloomberg's just work until you pass out advice,
Speaker 1: bad advice. You're in the freedom hud. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. I don't know. I was disciplinary
Speaker 1: actions being considered to guess Colonel Vaneman, and they'd have
Speaker 1: to be based on the conduct. But I do believe
Speaker 1: that it is appropriate to find out who can whistle
Speaker 1: glory is if you have a very concerned but there
Speaker 1: are people who basically having political agenda and acted on it.
Speaker 1: And we'll see holt me until we find out. Lindsey
Speaker 1: Graham talks a good game and a lot of things.
Speaker 1: I think that Lindsey Graham, though, has become a little
Speaker 1: too focused on punditry on some of the cable shows
Speaker 1: and not focused enough on follow through as a powerful
Speaker 1: member of the United States Senate. I think he has
Speaker 1: gotten a little a little too addicted to the cameras
Speaker 1: and not enough. You know, you think of someone like Cocaine, Mitch.
Speaker 1: Cocaine Mitch is getting the job done. Yeah, he gives
Speaker 1: speeches and stuff too. But you don't see Cocaine Mitch
Speaker 1: on TV. You know, it feels like every night Lindsey Graham,
Speaker 1: and I feel like he's on It does a lot
Speaker 1: of TV where he said where he says things that
Speaker 1: I like. It's not that, although not always but generally
Speaker 1: saying things I agree with. But then when he says
Speaker 1: things like, Okay, we gotta find out who whistle blowers are?
Speaker 1: What are you doing to find out who the whistle
Speaker 1: blowers you call on for hearing? You're gonna do anything
Speaker 1: about this? Rand Paul is one of the very few
Speaker 1: who has been willing to really take action on this.
Speaker 1: Do we have by the way, do we have rand
Speaker 1: speech on the So I want to play this streak
Speaker 1: because I remember Rampaul wanted to ask during the Senate trial,
Speaker 1: and this matters on a bunch of levels. This is
Speaker 1: a much bigger story than I think people recognize right
Speaker 1: now because the media, for a whole bunch of reasons,
Speaker 1: I doesn't want to touch it. Rand Paul wanted to
Speaker 1: ask a question as we all remember if you watch,
Speaker 1: and I shouldn't say we all remember, it was really
Speaker 1: boring and who remembers really any of it. At this point,
Speaker 1: I told you everyone's going to forget the Senate trial
Speaker 1: even happened, and we basically have. But Rampaul wanted to
Speaker 1: ask a question, and Chief Justice Roberts refused to read
Speaker 1: off the question, which was bizarre. I mean, we're living
Speaker 1: in this very Orwellian or perhaps kafka esque, or maybe
Speaker 1: it's Orwellian Kafka askue. I mean, we're living in this
Speaker 1: bizarre world of we can all kind of know something,
Speaker 1: but we can't admit that we know it or talk
Speaker 1: about that we know it, even though it is of
Speaker 1: major public concern. It's about as weird as when I
Speaker 1: remember for a while, and the federal government probably still
Speaker 1: holds this ass as its rule. But the federal government's
Speaker 1: position on classified information was, even if something was in
Speaker 1: the public domain and universally believed to be accurate, you
Speaker 1: could theoretically be held legally liable if you had a
Speaker 1: clearance for speaking about it or sharing it with anybody. Right.
Speaker 1: So there was a time when the drone program very
Speaker 1: very secret, where drone strikes and strikes happening. The New
Speaker 1: York Times was running graphics with, you know, pictures of
Speaker 1: drones talking about their how far they can fly, the
Speaker 1: hell fire missiles they follow, where the strikes are occurring,
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, and we all would talk about it,
Speaker 1: and Obama would make jokes about it about drones, but
Speaker 1: it was still the official position of the United States government. Well,
Speaker 1: if you if you have a clearance and you know
Speaker 1: about drones, you talk about drones, you get in trouble.
Speaker 1: What Now, that doesn't really generally happen because it's so dumb,
Speaker 1: But it's a weird policy that they have, and that
Speaker 1: was the official policy. I can tell you that it
Speaker 1: still is. I believe the official policy that even if
Speaker 1: something is in the public domain and universally believed to
Speaker 1: be true, if it is classified information and the government
Speaker 1: has not officially declassified it, you could be considered to
Speaker 1: be in violation of a law merely for sharing it.
Speaker 1: If it's on the front page of the newspaper, but
Speaker 1: you send it to somebody and you have a clearance,
Speaker 1: you might be in trouble. So that reminds me of
Speaker 1: what's going on with the whistleblower, which is we're living
Speaker 1: in this it's just inexcusable. It's unsettling. Really, we all
Speaker 1: know Eric Sharamella is the name of the guy that,
Speaker 1: according to major media outlets, is the whistleblower. And it
Speaker 1: all lines up and we all understand that this is
Speaker 1: what probably happened, but news organizations act like there is
Speaker 1: a statutory protection for this guy that does not exist.
Speaker 1: And I also want to know why is why the
Speaker 1: Inspector General has not received pressure and just he's allowed
Speaker 1: to release the name. We are we've already heard a name,
Speaker 1: release the name or say that this is not the person.
Speaker 1: Then so at least we have some clarity. But we
Speaker 1: should not be in this. Oh we know, but we
Speaker 1: can't know place. Why don't I bring this up now? Well?
Speaker 1: Because rand Paul asked that question or the Senate trial,
Speaker 1: Supreme Court Justice Roberts refused to read that question, and
Speaker 1: Rand Paul then took to the floor of the Senate
Speaker 1: where he has there's just immunity for what you say
Speaker 1: on the floor of the Senate, like you can set
Speaker 1: you cannot be sued, you can you can say what
Speaker 1: you want to say on the floor of the Senate's
Speaker 1: why when you know Harry Reid said Mitt Romney hadn't
Speaker 1: paid taxes in ten years, just a blatant lie, a
Speaker 1: slander sat on the floor of the Senate. He used
Speaker 1: the floor of the Senate as an invincible slander machine.
Speaker 1: That's that's Harry read. That's the old Democrats Senate majority leader.
Speaker 1: While they tell you to care so much about institutions,
Speaker 1: laughable garbage. But here is what rand Paul said on
Speaker 1: the floor of the Senate. Please play at producer Brandon
Speaker 1: my exact question. We'll put it up here. Are you
Speaker 1: aware that the House Intelligence Committee staffer Sean Misco had
Speaker 1: a close relationship with Eric Chieramella while at the National
Speaker 1: Security Council together. Are you aware and how would you
Speaker 1: respond to reports that Chieramella and Misco may have worked
Speaker 1: together to plot impeaching the president before there were formal
Speaker 1: House impeachment proceedings. That is now banned from YouTube YouTube
Speaker 1: which is owned by Google, which is owned by parent
Speaker 1: company Alphabet, one of the most powerful institutions in the world.
Speaker 1: Now there are private companies, many of them now that
Speaker 1: have larger that would be if they were a national economy,
Speaker 1: are larger than any but like the top fifty, you know,
Speaker 1: global economies of countries. I mean, there are a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of companies that have reached that point. So in
Speaker 1: a sense, financially, they're almost countries unto themselves and Google people.
Speaker 1: It's technically Alphabet owns Google, but it's just a whole.
Speaker 1: It's Google is Google. Good job, Buck, Google is Google.
Speaker 1: Google it. They have decided internally that they will not
Speaker 1: allow any mention of the whistleblower. Now that's important because
Speaker 1: people use YouTube for information increasingly. In fact, we're going
Speaker 1: to be building out for this show a YouTube a
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, so those of you that are used to
Speaker 1: watching it on well, those you rather that are used
Speaker 1: to listening, you'll be able to watch it on video
Speaker 1: on playback whenever you want, because we videotape the show
Speaker 1: now every day on Pluto channel to forty eight, the
Speaker 1: first which you should also be watching live download the
Speaker 1: Pluto TV app. You'll see me giving quizzical looks to
Speaker 1: producer Mark when he starts to yell at me for
Speaker 1: being quote late. I keep explaining to him that talent
Speaker 1: is not late. Talent arrives. When it arrives, Producer Mark,
Speaker 1: and then he says, who calls you talent? I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: you know, he's so salty. He's so salty that producer Mark,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes sometimes he makes me sad. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: He's great, but he keeps me in check, which is
Speaker 1: always important. Not that I really need that. Though he
Speaker 1: makes fun of me for having a big head. Brandon.
Speaker 1: Then he's like, no, no, no, no, I don't mean
Speaker 1: like your ego. I just mean you have a big head.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, okay, thank you. It's true. I
Speaker 1: do have a very a very large cranium. So YouTube
Speaker 1: banned the mention of Eric Scharamela and there's no real
Speaker 1: explanation as to why they say it violates their terms
Speaker 1: of service or something. What is going on here, my friends?
Speaker 1: And it makes me think that there must be a
Speaker 1: belief and among people who are powerful and connected that
Speaker 1: somehow they've got something else. There's some next act here
Speaker 1: of this stage of the soft coup against Trump where
Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, I don't know. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you what it is. I'm not in on the conspiracy.
Speaker 1: But why are they still so hell bent on making
Speaker 1: sure that Charamela's name is not on major digital platforms
Speaker 1: and banning it. What is that there's no statutory protection
Speaker 1: whatsoever any news outlet can say his name whenever they want.
Speaker 1: It's he's now a limited limited interest or limited usage
Speaker 1: public figure. He was central to one of the biggest
Speaker 1: news stories in the country, and we can't say his name.
Speaker 1: They're gonna, they're gonna. This is like in the Soviet
Speaker 1: Union when they would disappear people and then they'd go
Speaker 1: back in the official records and they would use a
Speaker 1: razorblade to remove to actually physically remove the name from records,
Speaker 1: like to cut it out of pages. What are we
Speaker 1: doing here? And the fact that journalists do not see
Speaker 1: this as an outrage just goes to show you they're activists.
Speaker 1: They're activists, they want an outcome. They show up to
Speaker 1: work every day, they look at all these facts and
Speaker 1: all this information that's coming in, and they try to
Speaker 1: think of this as how do how do we tell
Speaker 1: people's stories that will interest them that bash or hurt Trump.
Speaker 1: That is the mission at CNN, that is the mission
Speaker 1: at the New York Times, it is the mission at
Speaker 1: the Washington Post. All this information coming in, great, Let's
Speaker 1: tell people stuff, but let's make sure at the end
Speaker 1: of the day that they get a steady dosage of
Speaker 1: Trump is terrible. He needs to be out of office,
Speaker 1: and anything we do to get him out of office
Speaker 1: is justified. Okay, well, let's just understand right now that
Speaker 1: that's not what they say they're doing. This is a
Speaker 1: departure from what journalists actually believe that they're up to
Speaker 1: on any given day. But more than that, how could
Speaker 1: they suppress the basic mission that they say they're doing,
Speaker 1: which is presenting information in the public and not chase
Speaker 1: down whether or not this guy is the whistleblower. They're
Speaker 1: treating him. They're treating the whistleblower as though he is
Speaker 1: a some kind of like an employee who would be
Speaker 1: in danger. This is what they all The person would
Speaker 1: be in danger? How in danger? How from who? We
Speaker 1: already think it's this guy. And if that's going to
Speaker 1: be the standard, then any public figure or sorry, any
Speaker 1: person who becomes a public figure through the news, you
Speaker 1: could say you're putting them in danger. They didn't worry
Speaker 1: about the danger they put the Commington High School kids
Speaker 1: in when they splashed their photo and call them racists
Speaker 1: and worry about that at all. These people are frauds,
Speaker 1: absolute frauds. It's also one of the reasons I would
Speaker 1: note people have picked up on this. You don't really
Speaker 1: see debate anymore on television, You really don't. And it's because,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is look, the left dominates media, news
Speaker 1: media in particular. Still the left still has about a
Speaker 1: ninety percent share of platforms, and it's it's outrageous, but
Speaker 1: that's the way that it is. But they also know
Speaker 1: that they've gone too far, and a lot of leftists,
Speaker 1: a lot of these different shows have just gotten kind
Speaker 1: of fat, happy and lazy with feeding a steady diet
Speaker 1: of lib propaganda to their audiences. And the people feeding
Speaker 1: that propaganda, they just want this cycle to continue because
Speaker 1: they agree with it. But also they're making money off
Speaker 1: of it, and it's fine, and you know, they know.
Speaker 1: You know, Rachel Mattaw, who's a leading left wing commentator,
Speaker 1: would not be able against somebody who understands the Russia collusion,
Speaker 1: the truth about the Russia collusion situation and watched a
Speaker 1: few of her monologue, wouldn't be able to defend what
Speaker 1: her show is done. She would look bad. It would
Speaker 1: really damage her brand. It would look like she's a fraud.
Speaker 1: So they can't have the in same with Joe Scarborough.
Speaker 1: Joe Scarboro, s oh is you're going to rust to
Speaker 1: Joe Scarboroughs and moron. They can't actually engage the other
Speaker 1: side anymore. People keep talking about the polarization, But I
Speaker 1: understand the polarization the media from the perspective of there
Speaker 1: are so many rich cash cows at these different organizations
Speaker 1: who if they subjected themselves to scrutiny from someone who's
Speaker 1: adept on the right, they would end up looking foolish
Speaker 1: and then the mythology of the brilliance of this person
Speaker 1: would disappear. Have you have you ever seen have you
Speaker 1: ever seen Anderson Cooper debate somebody who knows what they're
Speaker 1: talking about on any of this? Have you ever seen
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper get smoked by somebody who actually knows what
Speaker 1: they're talking about on this a volunteer for that anytime?
Speaker 1: By the way, any of any of these people at
Speaker 1: MSNBC or at ABC News which is really just ABC News,
Speaker 1: at NBC News team, at Chuck Todd, he's there, big
Speaker 1: political guy. Do you ever see them debate people? No,
Speaker 1: they do the whole like, oh, I'm just an anchor
Speaker 1: asking questions, and they try to skew the questions to
Speaker 1: please their audience. But they'd never really say this is
Speaker 1: what I believe. Let's argue about this and it's me.
Speaker 1: It's not I'm I'm just a journalist, man, I'm just
Speaker 1: asking questions. It's no I will defend this position. They're frauds.
Speaker 1: They're just frauds. Thanks for listening The bus Essen Show podcasts.
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. This morning, the President congratulated
Speaker 1: the Attorney General amazingly enough for taking charge of the case.
Speaker 1: The President ran against the swamp in Washington, a place
Speaker 1: where the game is rigged by the powerful to benefit
Speaker 1: them personally, I asked, my fellow Americans, what is more swampy,
Speaker 1: What is more feted? What is more stinking than the
Speaker 1: most powerful person in the country literally changing the rules
Speaker 1: to benefit a crony guilty of breaking the law. As
Speaker 1: a result, I have formally requested that the Inspector General
Speaker 1: of the Justice Department investigate this matter immediately, and this
Speaker 1: morning I call on Judiciary Committee Chairman Graham to convene
Speaker 1: an emergency hearing of the Judiciary to do the same,
Speaker 1: to conduct oversight and hold hearings. Oh yes, Schumer is
Speaker 1: so serious about defending the Constitution. They found their new
Speaker 1: point of hysteria. Oh we need more investigations, more investigations.
Speaker 1: That this is the only thing they ever say, Oh,
Speaker 1: you got to investigate this thing that Trump did. We
Speaker 1: got to investigate that thing that Trump did. And if
Speaker 1: Trump opposed it, he's obstructing Congress. Is people are They're
Speaker 1: just it's absurd, it really is, And you know it's
Speaker 1: I worry sometimes that their plan is just their mania,
Speaker 1: their psychosis gives them a kind of superhuman focus and
Speaker 1: energy on things that aren't true, and that they're just
Speaker 1: gonna wear us down, that that's really the plan. They're
Speaker 1: just going to grind us down with their lunacy to
Speaker 1: the point where like, fine, anything, investigate them, do whatever
Speaker 1: you gotta do. Just stop. I mean, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: get to that point. Don't worry. I like fighting libs.
Speaker 1: But President Trump certainly understands what's gone on here, and
Speaker 1: he's taken all the right lessons from this. Prouce Brandon
Speaker 1: play twelves. Did you learn from impeachment? That the Democrats
Speaker 1: are crooked? They've got to let of crooked things going,
Speaker 1: that they're vicious, that they shouldn't have brought impeachment anything
Speaker 1: that by Paul, numbers are ten points higher because of
Speaker 1: fake news like NBC, which reports the news very inaccurately,
Speaker 1: probably more inaccurately than CNN, if that's possible, MSDNC and
Speaker 1: you're MS and if you take a look at NBC now,
Speaker 1: I think they're among the most dishonest reporters of the news. Yep,
Speaker 1: they are dishonest. And it's good that the President says it.
Speaker 1: I think that his quote war on the media is
Speaker 1: one of the best things, one of the best features
Speaker 1: of this presidency. I completely agree with him. I think
Speaker 1: he's spot on with this stuff. And this is the
Speaker 1: this is the lesson of the impeachment. That the Democrats
Speaker 1: are are filthy. They'll just play as dirty as they
Speaker 1: can and they never change, and they don't care, and
Speaker 1: it's all just it's all just a Paul, It's something
Speaker 1: that we should really look at and going forward and
Speaker 1: remind ourselves, remind ourselves of whenever we start to think,
Speaker 1: why are we being too hard on the crazy dams?
Speaker 1: Are we being too hard on them? Which I don't
Speaker 1: think any of you really stay up late at night
Speaker 1: worried about that, but it's certainly a possibility. We've got
Speaker 1: some other things that I wanted to get into. We've
Speaker 1: got a story out of UVA that it's just a
Speaker 1: reminder of what's going on in these college campuses that
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to you're gonna have to hear it,
Speaker 1: and then well then we'll talk about it. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe
Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. Maybe a while since you've been on
Speaker 1: a college campus, or perhaps you're listening to the show
Speaker 1: on a college campus. Maybe you're actually just finding out
Speaker 1: what do they give? When do they get the I
Speaker 1: guess earlier decision letters went back to people who are
Speaker 1: seniors in high school last month or in January, I
Speaker 1: mean if December January, but anyway, I don't know when
Speaker 1: the last time was you're on a college campus. But
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on that I think
Speaker 1: would surprise some of the older generations, some of the boomers,
Speaker 1: And one of them is that there are these well
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have this at every school.
Speaker 1: At Amirs, we had something called an affinity house, and
Speaker 1: we had houses that were considered cultural houses, but there
Speaker 1: were cultural houses based on a certain ethnicity. So there
Speaker 1: was like the Black Student Union House or the Latino
Speaker 1: Students Association House, and there was this I don't know
Speaker 1: how to really describe it other than in the Black
Speaker 1: the Black Student Union House. Everybody except for I think
Speaker 1: one person when I was in college in that house
Speaker 1: was black, and it was one of the nicest. It
Speaker 1: was actually the nicest dorm because it was really only
Speaker 1: on campus housing Roman school on campus, and you know,
Speaker 1: there was a Latino house, and there's some other I forget,
Speaker 1: there's some others too, and there's like an International student's house.
Speaker 1: So it's not just racial this racial separation that we
Speaker 1: could discuss, but it's a thing that goes on in
Speaker 1: these campuses. And it also, you know, you also have
Speaker 1: conversations about safe space and how it creates a safe
Speaker 1: space for people who feel like maybe they're you know,
Speaker 1: not as included in campus activities, who come from certain backgrounds.
Speaker 1: And there's all the usual social justice rhetoric and multiculturalism
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. Okay, fine to me. I think
Speaker 1: that when you have a campus of people that is
Speaker 1: inherently already a very diverse place, and you're all sitting
Speaker 1: in the same lunch rooms, going to the same parties,
Speaker 1: going to going to the same classes. And then to
Speaker 1: have your living quarters separated by ethnicity in any way,
Speaker 1: even if it's not ironclad rule, but it's kind of
Speaker 1: the rule. I think that's odd. I think that that's
Speaker 1: counter the purposes that the college says that it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be engaged in, which is bringing people together and inclusiveness.
Speaker 1: And well, here's an example of what happens when that
Speaker 1: when that rhetoric and that mentality is able to continue
Speaker 1: and grow on campuses. You have a female African American
Speaker 1: student at UVA who is in a multiculturalism center at UVA,
Speaker 1: and she gets up and gives this speech that I
Speaker 1: think you should all here. Please play clip five Public
Speaker 1: service announcement. Excuse me if y'all didn't know this is
Speaker 1: the MSc, And frankly, there's just too many white people
Speaker 1: in here, and this is a space for people of color,
Speaker 1: So just be really cognizant of the space that you're
Speaker 1: taking up, because it does make some of us POC's
Speaker 1: uncomfortable when you see too many white people in here.
Speaker 1: It's only been open for four days. And frankly, there's
Speaker 1: the whole university for a lot he ought to be at,
Speaker 1: and there's very few spaces for us. So keep that
Speaker 1: in mind. Thank you. People are clapping for that, by
Speaker 1: the way. You fing so you're of an African American
Speaker 1: female at UVA, in elite school that feels she feels
Speaker 1: comfortable telling a room full of people that there are
Speaker 1: too many white people in here, and you white people
Speaker 1: have many other places on campus to be and we
Speaker 1: meaning I suppose African Americans have very few places that
Speaker 1: are for us. I don't know what she's because they
Speaker 1: can go anywhere on campus. Right, there's there's no separation
Speaker 1: on campus. But now we've reached a point where and
Speaker 1: this is a real thing, and it was true when
Speaker 1: I was in college, and it's I'm sure even more
Speaker 1: true now where inclusiveness means everyone means that non white
Speaker 1: students are allowed and welcome, of course, anywhere on campus,
Speaker 1: in any club, in any house and anything. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you try to challenge that, you'd be branded a racist.
Speaker 1: Some kicked off campus immediately. But there are places on
Speaker 1: campus where white students are not welcome or even not
Speaker 1: really allowed to be or go. And people would say, oh,
Speaker 1: well that's not true, and I'd say, okay, well, I
Speaker 1: remember I was an Airmhurst. It was called the Charles
Speaker 1: Drew House and you had to apply, and somehow the
Speaker 1: Charles Drew House, which was also the like Black student
Speaker 1: Union meeting house, was almost entirely, if not entirely black
Speaker 1: students when I was there. I mean there might have
Speaker 1: been one or two students who were not black, but
Speaker 1: it was very it was very, very few, and I
Speaker 1: just okay, so are here. Here's a better way to
Speaker 1: put it. Would I have been welcomed and felt comfortable
Speaker 1: applying to live in this house which was campus housing?
Speaker 1: It's not a private association off camp campus housing. Would
Speaker 1: I have been welcome applying to that house? People would
Speaker 1: this is where they also get They would say, oh,
Speaker 1: of course, this book, this is whatever's college is. Of
Speaker 1: course you were well, no, no, I am not okay,
Speaker 1: I was there. People would have been like, why are you?
Speaker 1: They would have taken the opinion, many students would have
Speaker 1: taken the opinion that this young woman has, which is
Speaker 1: why you know you have so many places on campus?
Speaker 1: Why are you trying to take us a space meant
Speaker 1: for she says a POC, a person of color. The
Speaker 1: left defends this stuff. You know they you know, if
Speaker 1: you try to to nail them down on something and say, well,
Speaker 1: hold on a second, is this okay? Oh, but that's
Speaker 1: not really what But ultimately it is what happens, and
Speaker 1: they are okay with it, and they can pretend not
Speaker 1: to be when people are shining a light on the situation.
Speaker 1: But we all know at the end of the day
Speaker 1: that this is somehow wokeness and social justice means that
Speaker 1: it's a problem for white students to be in certain
Speaker 1: places on campus that are not meant for white students,
Speaker 1: or where there can't be too many, as this woman says,
Speaker 1: white students. And here's how we can prove this, this
Speaker 1: theory out. Do you think that this student at UV
Speaker 1: received any kind of even a disciplinary warning. Do you
Speaker 1: think that the deans or any the administrators or anyone
Speaker 1: brought her aside. I was like, hey, probably not a
Speaker 1: cool thing to say. There are just too many white
Speaker 1: people in this college, in this college structure, the multiculturalism center.
Speaker 1: Probably not the way you really want a fraid, No,
Speaker 1: I be willing to bet that no one said anything
Speaker 1: to her about this. Now, is there a double standard work? Okay,
Speaker 1: let's play out the experiment. What would happen if a
Speaker 1: student stood up and said, hey, guys, there are too
Speaker 1: many you know, if a white student stood up and
Speaker 1: said that there were too many Pacific Islanders here, and
Speaker 1: we feel like the Pacific Islander population in this multiculturalism
Speaker 1: center is crowding out the rest of the people that
Speaker 1: we want here, so we need less Pacific Islanders in
Speaker 1: the multiculturalism center. What do you think would be the response,
Speaker 1: assuming there are a lot of Pacific houndors in the center.
Speaker 1: I'm obviously trying to, you know, take some of the
Speaker 1: take some of the heat out of this analogy, this conversation.
Speaker 1: What do you think would happen to the white students?
Speaker 1: Do you think people would say that's great, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're you're allowed. You're allowed to say there's too many
Speaker 1: of X ethnicity in this place. Good call. That that
Speaker 1: white student would be run off campus so fast they
Speaker 1: wouldn't even have to wait for the dean to bring
Speaker 1: any discipline. We all know this. Now we have to
Speaker 1: get into why is the one okay and the other not?
Speaker 1: Why does the campus allow one and the other would
Speaker 1: be would be strictly forbidden. We know the answer, right.
Speaker 1: We know that the left now has adopted different rules
Speaker 1: for different people based upon skin color. We know this
Speaker 1: also because Elizabeth Warren even says that explicitly running for
Speaker 1: president the United States, she said, quote, we need race
Speaker 1: conscious laws. Well, on college campus is they have what
Speaker 1: you could consider race conscious expectations of conduct. There are
Speaker 1: things that white students cannot say that minority students can say,
Speaker 1: and we're constantly told. I would note that the opposite
Speaker 1: is true, that you know, white students have all this
Speaker 1: privilege on campus, the only privileges that I'm aware of
Speaker 1: any students having. And it's not even just about racial
Speaker 1: or ethnic minorities, but just in general, it's true about
Speaker 1: gender issues. There's a lot of stuff. The only people
Speaker 1: on a college campus who have no special privilege as
Speaker 1: a matter of administrative rule or administrative ruling, white male students.
Speaker 1: It's just on a college campus, your white male students,
Speaker 1: you are you. You know there is nothing you're allowed
Speaker 1: to say that nobody else is allowed to say. That
Speaker 1: much is for sure, so I think worth keeping them
Speaker 1: in mind. And also is true about gender situations as well. Right,
Speaker 1: there are certain gender specific that there are up there
Speaker 1: are resources set up for, um, you know, transgender students
Speaker 1: on campus that are specifically the transgender community. They're resources
Speaker 1: set up for you know. And you could say, all right,
Speaker 1: well there are resources, but also does that affect the
Speaker 1: way the school administers let's say justice during disciplinary hearings?
Speaker 1: And the answer, by the way, is yes, does it administer.
Speaker 1: Here's here's a thing that that I had a friend
Speaker 1: who was a student advisor for these these trials in college,
Speaker 1: and chief said that there was oh, this is just
Speaker 1: this is what I was told by a female fellow
Speaker 1: classmate that the disciplinary the disciplinary hearings for any allegation
Speaker 1: of sexual misconduct that was heterosexual, we're always more severe.
Speaker 1: The consequences were more severe everyone took than disciplinary hearings
Speaker 1: where there was the same sex conduct involved. Which does which?
Speaker 1: Which does happen to? You know? There are these biases
Speaker 1: that come up, which I think it's very interesting that
Speaker 1: this doesn't really get much talked about. But anyway, back
Speaker 1: to the UVA the UVA speech here, this is there
Speaker 1: the end result of where we are on campuses now,
Speaker 1: where we now have we now have a sense that
Speaker 1: a self selection process, to have students in some ways
Speaker 1: segregate themselves as minorities from other students is somehow positive
Speaker 1: and empowering. And I think that's a huge mistake. And
Speaker 1: I think that the Left is very wrong on this,
Speaker 1: just like they are on pretty much everything else. You're
Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and
Speaker 1: Show podcast. It's a huge fight breaking out online right now.
Speaker 1: It's an intense, no holds barred discussion, one that I'm
Speaker 1: sure many of you have a strong opinions about. I
Speaker 1: think we always have to maintain our respect for one
Speaker 1: another because we need to be able to have the
Speaker 1: tough discussions here in the Freedom Hunt. We need to
Speaker 1: be able to share our thoughts and ideas without thinking
Speaker 1: that we are alienating our brothers and sisters in freedom
Speaker 1: here in the Hut. Which brings me to the debate
Speaker 1: over reclining in an airline seat. There's a video that
Speaker 1: has gone viral, and this video shows a man who
Speaker 1: so it's a woman in the front seat and a
Speaker 1: man behind her in a seat that cannot recline because
Speaker 1: it's the last seat on the plane, which is the
Speaker 1: worst seat on the plan. As we all know, so
Speaker 1: he can't recline. The woman in front of in front
Speaker 1: of him has reclined fully, and he has decided to
Speaker 1: sit there and punch just sort of not gently but
Speaker 1: not fiercely, just just sort of repeatedly punch the back
Speaker 1: of her seat. Just punch, punch, punch, punch. She's just
Speaker 1: gonna keep punching her seat. And she takes out of
Speaker 1: video camera and just put this online. And people are
Speaker 1: fierce in their decision about whether this whether should you
Speaker 1: be reclining or not? Does reclining make you a bad
Speaker 1: person on an airline seat? Or should everyone just accept
Speaker 1: where they are on accept the reality that seats that
Speaker 1: can recline will recline, and that you're allowed to do this,
Speaker 1: the airlines allow you to do it. And if it's
Speaker 1: you know, if you happen to be seven feet tall
Speaker 1: and you're flying economy, you know tough. I want to know,
Speaker 1: first and foremost, what does producer Brandon think about this?
Speaker 1: Are you a recliner or not? I want to know
Speaker 1: what the preliminary conversation was. Did he just start punching?
Speaker 1: Did he ask her first? Because that's that's a big
Speaker 1: So you want to go from you want to go
Speaker 1: for the manners component of this first to see I
Speaker 1: think it's all about manners. Yeah, because you are aware
Speaker 1: that the person behind you can't recline, but at the
Speaker 1: same time, you want to feel comfortable. I know I
Speaker 1: can't go all they can't go all the way back,
Speaker 1: but maybe just a couple of centimeters you can negotiate.
Speaker 1: So you're you're like, I'm a third way guy on
Speaker 1: this one. You think you think that reclining if you
Speaker 1: are considered about how much you recline and take into
Speaker 1: consideration the possibility that you maybe don't recline if the
Speaker 1: person behind you really ask you politely, that's kind of
Speaker 1: where you are. Yeah, so so you're an ad hoc
Speaker 1: You're an ad hoc recliner. Yes, yeah, you know you're
Speaker 1: an a la cart like sometimes you recline, sometimes you
Speaker 1: won't agreed. Yes, yes, see, I just think I I
Speaker 1: look at a No. I hate when someone reclines on
Speaker 1: I've been there. I don't like when someone reclines on
Speaker 1: the airline seat because I fly, I fly coach. I
Speaker 1: don't have any money. Uh, you know, I don't like
Speaker 1: it when they when they recline and I'm I got
Speaker 1: the scene in and it's really no one likes that,
Speaker 1: especially on a short domestic flight. It's like, do you
Speaker 1: really need to recline for the forty minutes from the
Speaker 1: for the flight from you know, Topeka to tally well,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of very Topeka to what will
Speaker 1: be a forty minute flight from there. This is a
Speaker 1: fun geography test Oklahoma City. That's probably about right, probably
Speaker 1: less than a forty minute flight. But anyway, do you
Speaker 1: really need to recline for a short flight the one
Speaker 1: hour flight from New York to DC that one? I
Speaker 1: know the answers, no, okay, So I do think that
Speaker 1: we should be reasonable about these things. You know, there's
Speaker 1: there's nuance here, there's many layers. But people get into
Speaker 1: huge fights about this. On planes, people get very upset.
Speaker 1: Airline airplane travel is designed almost to bring out the
Speaker 1: worst in human beings and put us on edge and
Speaker 1: make it so uncomfortable. And I just wish plane you know,
Speaker 1: I wish airlines weren't making money off of our discomfort,
Speaker 1: but they are. These airlines, these these low cost carriers
Speaker 1: in particular, they make money off of giving you the
Speaker 1: bare minimum, and people generally all the studies have shown this.
Speaker 1: People look at what is the cheapest air fare I
Speaker 1: can get. They want to pay the least amount of money,
Speaker 1: and because that tends to be the overwhelming choice that
Speaker 1: the consumer makes, they you know, we end up flying
Speaker 1: in very uncomfortable circumstances. I mean planes have actually airline
Speaker 1: travels one of the few parts of modern American life
Speaker 1: that it's gotten worse now. Seats have gotten smaller and narrower,
Speaker 1: the cushioning has gotten thinner. The only improvement really is
Speaker 1: that now you have a lot of planes where they
Speaker 1: have your own entertainment system. But I rarely even use
Speaker 1: that thing. And I'm reading a book because I'm a
Speaker 1: civilized fellow who likes to learn, you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: somebody sits there like, hey, I'm gonna you know, it's
Speaker 1: actually not true. I watched like two movies last time
Speaker 1: went to California. I watched Hustlers, which was I'm appalled by.
Speaker 1: And then there was another one that I watched I
Speaker 1: can't remember it is now. Oh, I watched Angel Has Fallen,
Speaker 1: which is kind of like White House Down, I think,
Speaker 1: but it's the really, really bad movie. People are gonna
Speaker 1: get bad at me because it's an action movie and
Speaker 1: there's Gerard Butler. Gerard Butler was like, Hey, I'm a
Speaker 1: Secret Service guy. I'm British, but I think the Secret
Speaker 1: Service guys talk like this, so I'm gonna have kind
Speaker 1: of an accent like that too. I'm like, he's a
Speaker 1: you know, apparently if you're in the Secret Service, you're
Speaker 1: you know, like a New York gangster from the twenties
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. I always I don't think
Speaker 1: British people good do good do good American accents. I
Speaker 1: think they always stink at it. But the only thing
Speaker 1: that drives me crazier than the well, there are a
Speaker 1: lot of things drive me crazy is you know, whistle
Speaker 1: some proucer Mark likes to turn on a whistling noise
Speaker 1: to just set me off. Thank you, Brandon Forcy Brandon
Speaker 1: if producer Marcus salty, producer Brandon is sweet. You know,
Speaker 1: he doesn't he doesn't, he doesn't turn on the whistling noise.
Speaker 1: He doesn't do that to me. But the only thing
Speaker 1: that you know, I ride the subway so much here
Speaker 1: in New York City, and you know, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: do last minute prep for the show and pay attention
Speaker 1: to what's going on. Why do people think in crowded
Speaker 1: public places there is any setting for your phones notifications
Speaker 1: that is acceptable other than vibrate. I do not want
Speaker 1: to hear the ding ding ding. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear it, not when you get text messages, not when
Speaker 1: you get emails. A long time ago in the government,
Speaker 1: actually I shared an office of somebody who left on
Speaker 1: a ding noise on her computer for emails, and I
Speaker 1: had to tell her. I was like, I'm going to
Speaker 1: throw us both out the window unless you turn that.
Speaker 1: You know, ding ding drove me nuts. Noise pollutions very
Speaker 1: very bad. You know, all people the way that people
Speaker 1: feel about climate change, I feel the way about noise pollution.
Speaker 1: I hate unnecessary excessive notes. Don't even get me started
Speaker 1: on the backup beeping noise that doesn't save any lives
Speaker 1: and drives us all crazy. It's from the seventies people.
Speaker 1: It's a stupid technology. It's a dumb idea. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe
Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app for wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. Team Bucking. It's time for Roll Call,
Speaker 1: Roll call time. Yes, indeed, thank you so much. Team.
Speaker 1: Let's get to it. Let's make it all happen. Here
Speaker 1: we go. I'm just stalling because I lost the page.
Speaker 1: There we go, all right, Dennis writes in Buck, your
Speaker 1: segment on the uninformed, low information voter was absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 1: I know. DEM's just as you described, and it's mind boggling, frustrating,
Speaker 1: if not downright infuriating, to know they will go vote
Speaker 1: for someone for one reason, and one reason only, because
Speaker 1: that candidate has D behind their name, not realizing what
Speaker 1: negative effect it could potentially have on their lives. I've
Speaker 1: often said the most critical issue in the United States
Speaker 1: is the uninformed voter and citizen. If only we could
Speaker 1: get them all to tune into you shields high. Dennis,
Speaker 1: you are a wise man and I appreciate your note
Speaker 1: for Roll Call very much. Yeah. Look, you know, the
Speaker 1: biggest problem with democracy is you get a lot of
Speaker 1: dumb people get to vote. So that's not a good thing.
Speaker 1: This is why, if I remember back in Plato's Republic, right,
Speaker 1: the best form of government would be to have a
Speaker 1: philosopher king, essentially a person of a perfect a person
Speaker 1: of the highest wisdom who can make all the decisions,
Speaker 1: because just saying everybody gets to make decisions doesn't really
Speaker 1: mean that the decisions are going to be good. So
Speaker 1: we see that all the time. Hello New York City, Martin.
Speaker 1: I can't say I'm truly a religious oss listener, though
Speaker 1: I did hit about a third of the weekend shows.
Speaker 1: I I find your show much more entertaining and informative
Speaker 1: as a single host than when you are fighting for
Speaker 1: your voice within a group. I am now and have
Speaker 1: been a consistent podcast listener. You had a guest speaker
Speaker 1: about Tesla and the stock on your February eleventh podcast.
Speaker 1: Investor enthusiasm driving up the Tesla stock price is reacting
Speaker 1: only to the company turning a profit for the first
Speaker 1: quarter ever. Elon Musk and his companies have been given
Speaker 1: two point five times as much as the Iranian Mullah's
Speaker 1: in terms of government support four point nine billion. The
Speaker 1: average household income of a Tesla Model X owner is
Speaker 1: five hundred and three thousand dollars and the Tesla X
Speaker 1: model rather sorry, and the average household income of a
Speaker 1: Tesla Model S owner is two hundred and sixty seven
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Do Tesla and Tesla buyers really need subsidies.
Speaker 1: I'd like to see what would happened to the E
Speaker 1: vehicle industry, and specifically Tesla if the government piggybank stopped
Speaker 1: shaking out quarters. The gentleman guest, his name is Whitney. Tilson,
Speaker 1: by the way, also made a remark about GM employees
Speaker 1: preferring to work at Tesla. He's obviously an investment manager
Speaker 1: and not an automotive engineer. Take a look on LinkedIn
Speaker 1: and see how many Big three four GMFCA engineers work
Speaker 1: at Tesla. Tesla is not the draw that an industry
Speaker 1: outsider might think. If I'm going to purchase an e vehicle,
Speaker 1: I'll wait for the company with a sales and service
Speaker 1: center down the street to sell me one shields high Wow.
Speaker 1: Martin Martin had thoughts on this one. Martin was not
Speaker 1: messing around, you know, Martin. I'll try to get I'll
Speaker 1: try to get your note to Whitney and see if
Speaker 1: he has any response comments on this. Yeah, he is
Speaker 1: an investment manager, he's not an engineer. Glenn. I am
Speaker 1: thinking limiting federal employment to fifteen years might be a
Speaker 1: good way to set the mood for congressional term limits.
Speaker 1: You have to term limit the bureaucracy if you intend
Speaker 1: to term limit elected officials anyway. UM, I don't know
Speaker 1: how that would really change anything, my friend. I appreciate
Speaker 1: you thinking on this one, But why would making a
Speaker 1: fifteen fifteen year limit for and by the way, they
Speaker 1: get full pensions at that point. Um, I don't really
Speaker 1: I don't really see the benefit in saying you could
Speaker 1: only if you've already worked for the civil service for
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Why not let them finish out their twenty
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't really see that, but I
Speaker 1: appreciate the thought. Um, maybe I'm missing something. See, I
Speaker 1: like to admit that maybe I'm missing something, because it's
Speaker 1: always possible. It's rare, but it is possible. Oh, I
Speaker 1: told you. I told you, guys. I talked to you
Speaker 1: about steak because some of you probably are going to
Speaker 1: be making steak for Valentine's Day, for that significant other,
Speaker 1: for that wife, boyfriend, husband, girlfriend, all that stuff. A
Speaker 1: few things about about steak. Um, First of all, you
Speaker 1: gotta get a good cut of meat. You gotta get
Speaker 1: a good cut of meat. You can make a good
Speaker 1: steak with bad meat. So those of you that are thinking, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get the go to the bargain basement
Speaker 1: bin at the local grocery store and pull out the
Speaker 1: steak that only has a little bit of like blue
Speaker 1: fuzz around. No no, no, no, get good meat. Okay,
Speaker 1: start with that. If you have a butcher near you
Speaker 1: go to butcher's. Butcher's will they love meat? Because they're butchers,
Speaker 1: they will man seeyeh, I got I got thoughts. You
Speaker 1: go to them and you say, hey, I want to
Speaker 1: I want a special cut, you know, ask them for
Speaker 1: a butcher's steak. By the way, butchers steak they call
Speaker 1: it that because the butcher usually keeps it for himself
Speaker 1: because it's so delicious, but you don't. It's not that expensive,
Speaker 1: so that they don't care as much about selling it
Speaker 1: so they can. The butchers will keep them for themselves.
Speaker 1: Butchers steak is a great cut. I'm a ribby person.
Speaker 1: You could always do Porterhouse if you want, and you know,
Speaker 1: a porterhouse Porterhouse also comes with a filet in it
Speaker 1: with the t bone. You got the part of it
Speaker 1: that's kind of a filet, which is always nice. I've
Speaker 1: never really been a New York strip person, but if
Speaker 1: you want to go that route, you certainly can and
Speaker 1: Filet mignon. If you're gonna do bear Filet mignon you
Speaker 1: really want, that's the meat that you really want to
Speaker 1: go rare on in my opinion, to medium rare, but
Speaker 1: air more on the rare side with filet mignon. If
Speaker 1: you're going for internal temperature, get him meat thermometer. I thought, like,
Speaker 1: who use a who uses a meat thermometer? I was
Speaker 1: very Get a meat thermometer? You know, you're you're you're
Speaker 1: not special, you're not able. You don't have like some
Speaker 1: X men's skill where you can tell by touching the
Speaker 1: meat what three inches below your finger the temperature is
Speaker 1: internally you don't know. Get a meat thermometer. That would
Speaker 1: be the most boring X men ever. It's like everyone
Speaker 1: stand aside. I will tell you if this is rare
Speaker 1: or medium rare. Although he would be the most useful
Speaker 1: X men in a realistic sense, even sounds like maybe
Speaker 1: a villain's name. The meat thermometer. The meat thermometer. Uh
Speaker 1: that I have thoughts. So what else I need to
Speaker 1: tell you about steak? Salt it right before you put
Speaker 1: it on the grill, or know or before you sear
Speaker 1: it or salt it well before, and then you always
Speaker 1: want to pat it dry as well because the moisture
Speaker 1: hurts the searing. Trying to think what else is based
Speaker 1: with butter at the end you think you don't need it,
Speaker 1: it'll make it better based. And also throw a little
Speaker 1: bit of herbs in that butter as it's kind of boiling.
Speaker 1: As it's essentially boiling up because you're throw in a
Speaker 1: hot pan, it's gonna cook really quickly, tilt the pan
Speaker 1: a little the side, and then and use the basting.
Speaker 1: Use a spoon to baste that butter. Rover, it's very
Speaker 1: very good. Trying to think what else needs to happen
Speaker 1: here for you to resting. Every abways says you gotta
Speaker 1: let it rest for at least five to ten minutes afterwards,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. I've done the rest steak
Speaker 1: and not resting, and I don't notice as much of
Speaker 1: a difference as some other people. Apparently, maybe it depends
Speaker 1: on the cut of meat, and that's sacrilege. Everyone will
Speaker 1: tell you let it rest for five to ten minutes.
Speaker 1: I feel like my steak after ten minutes is not
Speaker 1: always as hot as I want it. To be, so
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that I'm I like the sizzling steak.
Speaker 1: I mean I and you know, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: not a big let Let the steak come down in
Speaker 1: temperature for about thirty to forty minutes. It'll still be cold.
Speaker 1: You don't want it room temperature. That means you've left
Speaker 1: it out probably too long. But leave it out of
Speaker 1: the fridge for at least thirty I'd say forty minutes
Speaker 1: before you see her. I think the reverse your method
Speaker 1: is the best. A lot of you like suvied cooking.
Speaker 1: Something about cooking my steak in like hot water, though,
Speaker 1: just doesn't really appeal to me. It's like a science
Speaker 1: experiment and you gotta have special equipment for it. The
Speaker 1: only special equipment you need to have for the perfect
Speaker 1: steak is a cast iron pan. Get a cast iron
Speaker 1: you can do you know, a steel well, let's the other.
Speaker 1: You know it's not a cast iron, but at whatever.
Speaker 1: But don't use like a non stick. Don't use the
Speaker 1: pan that you're cooking your eggs in the morning for
Speaker 1: your steak. Bad idea. Get a cast iron lodge. We
Speaker 1: should get Lodge as a sponsor because I have like
Speaker 1: four Lodge pans in my home and I use like
Speaker 1: all their different products. Lodge is a very good one.
Speaker 1: Get a cast iron pan, and uh wow, I really
Speaker 1: should I actually we should get the spot. I probably
Speaker 1: just sold a bunch of cast iron pants for them
Speaker 1: because it just makes a big difference, cooks more evenly,
Speaker 1: it conducts heat better, and also it either you'll just
Speaker 1: see real red meat cooking you want to do with
Speaker 1: the cast iron. So that's if you want to do
Speaker 1: the perfect steak. I'm telling you, though, those are really
Speaker 1: the only things you need to know how to do.
Speaker 1: I think reverse here is a good way to go
Speaker 1: if the stick is thin. So if you have, say
Speaker 1: a flank steak, you could definitely or a skirt steak,
Speaker 1: you can cook it on a stovetop without having to
Speaker 1: go in the oven and do the heere thing. So
Speaker 1: I just I'm just here to be helpful team for
Speaker 1: Valentine's steak, because everyone knows if you give someone a
Speaker 1: perfectly cook piece of red meat on Valentine's Day, you
Speaker 1: clearly love them all right. Roll call continues here Rick
Speaker 1: writes in do you remember ravishing Rick Rude? By the way,
Speaker 1: and just the name Rick just made me remember that
Speaker 1: because I used to watch a lot of WWF before.
Speaker 1: I guess they had to change the name because of
Speaker 1: the World Wildlife Federation, Right, that's what happened, because you know,
Speaker 1: you know professional wrestling, right, Yeah, No, I mean not
Speaker 1: so much now. I mean not as much as I
Speaker 1: was as a kid, but I still watched raw and
Speaker 1: smack Down. What happened was what happened to super Fly
Speaker 1: Jimmy Snooker. He was accused I think of murder, murder right, yeah,
Speaker 1: his girlfriend, I don't and they caught him like they
Speaker 1: like prosecuted him thirty years later or something, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was one of those cold cases. I believe super
Speaker 1: Fly Jimmy Snooker because I remember he was. He was
Speaker 1: great back in the day. He get on the top
Speaker 1: top turn buckle and he did his like leap thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was always Who are your favorites back in the day?
Speaker 1: Brett the Headman Heart okay, Sean Michaels okay, Big Fan
Speaker 1: Stone Cold, Steve Auston. Did you see the Rocks daughter
Speaker 1: now just signed to the WWE. I did not see that.
Speaker 1: She is the first fourth generation a wrestler. It was
Speaker 1: a Rock the Rocks Dad and then the Rocks Grandpa.
Speaker 1: I didn't know the Rock came from a family to wrestler.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Johnson's really yeah, big Simowen culture. I
Speaker 1: like very much the the Iron the Iron Shake versus
Speaker 1: versus Hulk Hogan, Like that's how far back I go?
Speaker 1: Do you follow? Then? And Sergeant Slaughter, Remember Sergeant Slaughter
Speaker 1: made the crossover. He became a g I. Joe figure
Speaker 1: for a while. Yeah, but have you do you follow
Speaker 1: um the Iron Cheek on Twitter? Is that a thing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. If you want to, if you
Speaker 1: want to laugh, follow the Iron Cheek on Twitter. I
Speaker 1: used to think was so awesome and so like so
Speaker 1: like all America. And and he's had a tough go. Man,
Speaker 1: he's been through some stuff. He shouldn't have done the
Speaker 1: reality show. Well you were exposed to his awkwardness. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, it's never really the same. And those guys,
Speaker 1: but like the oldtim Warriors, some of these guys took
Speaker 1: so much. I mean they were like human test tubes. Man,
Speaker 1: they took so much drugs to get Warrior died a
Speaker 1: few years ago. Do you have a heart problems? Right?
Speaker 1: And they thought it was from Uh wasn't it from?
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of us from steroid usage or
Speaker 1: not a lot of abuse. I mean so many of
Speaker 1: them you've got looked back in their fifties or even earlier. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I dude, I used to watch it. I used to
Speaker 1: watch Royal Rumble. That was the best. I remember. Also
Speaker 1: with they made a movie about Zeus, who is a
Speaker 1: very large African American fellow, and Hulk Hogan. There was
Speaker 1: a movie. Do you remember this? Yeah? I think it
Speaker 1: was called No Holds Barred, correct. I saw that move
Speaker 1: Devo Friday, I remember, I remember that one. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that was his like you know, it's like all he
Speaker 1: said in the whole movie. He was a large, strong fellow. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right. Anyway, Rick is not a professional wrestler for
Speaker 1: what we said here, writes book. I listened as often
Speaker 1: as possible and enjoy your outlook and observation, which I
Speaker 1: find most refreshing. When I was eighteen, I joined the
Speaker 1: army and learned quickly that if I didn't have a
Speaker 1: plan for myself, some other clan would be a clown
Speaker 1: would be planning my life. I don't hear any of
Speaker 1: the dem candidates encouraging young people to take stock of
Speaker 1: themselves and engage in a plan for personal improvement. Minimum
Speaker 1: wage is not a destination. I agree with you that
Speaker 1: we live in the best country at the best time,
Speaker 1: with the most opportunity in history. Well, Rick, you seem
Speaker 1: like a very wise fellow. Thank you for your service,
Speaker 1: and thank you so much for writing in. And yeah,
Speaker 1: people need to understand a minimum wage. I mean, you
Speaker 1: shouldn't ever feel like you're stuck at the minimum wage forever.
Speaker 1: I mean, your labors should become more valuable over time,
Speaker 1: if nothing else, due to the loyalty to a company,
Speaker 1: the ability to take on additional tasks. But minimum wage
Speaker 1: sound it sounds more fair to people to have a
Speaker 1: higher minimum wage. And so that's it's emotion. It's emotion
Speaker 1: over economics, which is so often and look, this is
Speaker 1: a thing that is not just about minimum wage. I've
Speaker 1: read a very interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago about how active investors, so
Speaker 1: people who think they can pick stocks, are generally wrong
Speaker 1: when they compare it to what they would make if
Speaker 1: they just put their money in index funds and ETFs
Speaker 1: essentially just get as the broadest market exposure they can
Speaker 1: and grow their wealth slowly and conscientiously over time. That
Speaker 1: that Now, this isn't true for everybody. They're obviously people
Speaker 1: that are great investors, and that's why. And you can
Speaker 1: educate yourself in certain sectors and become But for them,
Speaker 1: for most people that are going to invest any money,
Speaker 1: by the numbers, it's instead of reading all these prospectuses
Speaker 1: and doing all this stuff and trying to learn so
Speaker 1: much about a specific industry. If you're if you're an
Speaker 1: amateur investor who's just doing this with money you've made
Speaker 1: doing something else, unless you're going to spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time on self education. For most people, it's better
Speaker 1: to engage in just index funds and ETFs. But some
Speaker 1: people want to invest because they just like the process.
Speaker 1: They like to be in that game, so to speak.
Speaker 1: So even if they're losing money, they'd rather do it
Speaker 1: that way. Eric, Right, Hey, Buck, love the show so much.
Speaker 1: I have to look out for you. I heard this
Speaker 1: Seth McFarland comparison and it made my stomach turn. He's
Speaker 1: a crazy lib and has donated over four million dollars
Speaker 1: to the Democratic Party. Your voices are good except the yodeling,
Speaker 1: So just be you and definitely don't be like Seth McFarland.
Speaker 1: Shields high from so Kyle. Thanks Eric, I appreciate that. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Producer Mark wasn't saying that I am like Seth McFarland.
Speaker 1: I think he was just getting at that I sound
Speaker 1: sometimes like Seth McFarlane, which you know. I just I
Speaker 1: don't want to sound or be like Seth McFarland. I
Speaker 1: just want his bank account. That would be nice. I
Speaker 1: will take I will swap bank accounts with Seth McFarlane.
Speaker 1: That would be a good deal for me. I think
Speaker 1: it'd be more fun. Kelly buck Oss from the Blaze
Speaker 1: days just want to drop a quick note to thank
Speaker 1: you for the reverse seer tip. After being married seventeen
Speaker 1: years and together for twenty two, it's fun to still
Speaker 1: have firsts. This was the first time I ever made
Speaker 1: my hobbyist steak, as there is no way I could
Speaker 1: grill it. Medium Rare, I took your reverse I took
Speaker 1: your advice and did the reverse seer and he loved it.
Speaker 1: Thank you for giving us another first. Your podcast is
Speaker 1: a daily must and I look forward to your fresh
Speaker 1: insight and fun impersonations. Producer Mark does a great job
Speaker 1: keeping you in line. I laugh because he and I
Speaker 1: sometimes say the same thing at the same time, which
Speaker 1: is also a bit alarming. Keep up the amazing workbox
Speaker 1: shields high. Thank you so much, Kelly. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: And look see I told you cook a perfect steak
Speaker 1: for your man. No better way to show some of
Speaker 1: or for your lady guys. I'm reverse here. I'm telling YouTube.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know what, I'll do, reverse your video
Speaker 1: on YouTube and I'll put it up. How about that?
Speaker 1: Then people can see me do it, and once you
Speaker 1: see how it's done he'd do it, probably you'll be like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it's amazing. That's Sexton kid. I'm gonna
