<v Speaker 1>This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 1>mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Make no mistake, American, You're a great American. Again the

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>buck Sexton shell begins. Remember now, welcome to the bucks

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Sexton Show. My name is Raheem Kassam, filling in four

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>bucks Sexton today. We're very glad to have you here

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>with us. There's a lot to talk about over the

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>next few hours. We've got some great guests on the

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>show for you today. But in case you don't know me,

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>by wait, by means of introduction, um. I was the

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>former London editor for bright butt dot com, former chief

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>advisor to Nigel Farage or as you might know him,

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Mr Brexit, and I also dot around here and there

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>with the Claremont Institute, the Gatestone Institute, the Middle East Forum.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>You can find my work online at Raheem Kassam on

0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Twitter and so on and so forth. But enough about me.

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.959
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about the fact that you have

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>just four days to go until some of the most

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>important elections these United States States have faced in a

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.759
<v Speaker 1>very very long time. You know, the stakes are not

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>just high because I say so, or because the President

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of the United States says so, or because Maxine Waters

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>or Oprah say so. The stakes are high because the

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>full force of the political, cultural, media, and financial elite

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>is being leveraged right now, the full might of the swamp,

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the full might of Hollywood, the full might of the

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 1>fake news industrial complex, the full might of foreign money

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and power invested interests who have been reeling ever since

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>the early hours of November nine, two thousand and sixteen.

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>The stakes are high because there's a migrant invasion careering

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>towards the US Southern Board and the left wants to

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about Obamacare. The stakes are high because impeachment is

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the word on the lip on the tips sorry of

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>every Democrats tongue, though they didn't utter it just yet

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>for fear of alienating independent, minded or swing voters. The

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.519
<v Speaker 1>stakes are high because this president's agenda, arguably one of

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the most sort of radical, rip roaring effective platforms in decades,

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>rests on whether or not Tuesday, the deplorable strike another

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>dagger into the heart of the establishment. You know, I'm

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>grateful and honored that in these last few days before

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>the midterm elections, Buck Sexton his team saw fit to

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>let me take the reins over for the next few hours,

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.959
<v Speaker 1>and I employ you to listen closely to some of

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the arguments and guests that will be having over the

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>course of this show. And I think it behooves all

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>of us who believe in in Western tradition and culture

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and the founding principles of the United States, not just

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to winbibe of such knowledge, but also, especially this weekend,

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>to spread it idly. You know, a citizen, as conceived

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>in ancient Greece was was somebody who saw the risks

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 1>of their lack of participation being so great that they

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>might become serfs or slaves as a result of their complacency.

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 1>And that remains true today. And what say you to

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a voice from another nation mine speaking these words to

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>you as you gear up to make that almighty important

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>choice on Tuesday. I mean, I'll tell you why it

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>means something to me the nation I was born and

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>raised in the United Kingdom. I mean, we had a

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>similarly extraordinary year into thousand and sixteen. We too, first

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>even delta hammer blow to the political establishment in the

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>form of Brexit on on June the twenty, two thousand

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and sixteen. And I'll never forget this number, say, seventeen million,

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>four hundred and ten thousand, seven hundred and forty two

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>people voted to leave the supernational governing institutions of the

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>European Union and claim our sovereignty and our border controls

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 1>and our birthrights back. You know, despite a long and

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 1>rich history as both a global governing empire and a

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 1>strong independent nation, we Brits ended up this last forty

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 1>years in trapped in a political union where our laws

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and our regulations and our sovereign decisions were taken in

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a foreign capital by unelected bureaucrats. When thinking back on

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the election here in the United States, I often remarked

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.679
<v Speaker 1>that it was through divine providence and the hard work

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>and belief of so many ordinary Americans that you too

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.799
<v Speaker 1>did not get dragged into a miasma like the European Union.

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>There was, and there still remains a massive chance of

0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>this happening. The Transpacific Partnership Comic Alliance. Remember it was

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>heralded by Hillary Clinton as the gold standard of trade deals. Well,

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that was actually modeled on the European Union, with its

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 1>commissars and commissioners. It's bureaucrats and buffoonish benefactors of the

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>centralization of power, away from the individual, away from the

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>demos the people you know. TPPE could have led the

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>United States down the dark and dangerous road to serfdom.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>But what happened instead, America rejected the administrative state. President

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Trump even made it part of his plethora of campaign

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:41.719
<v Speaker 1>slogans drain the swamp for decades and and the centuries

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 1>of erudite and prolific thinkers. President Trump managed to put

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>it into those three words, you know, perspective and simplicity,

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the likes of which we need now more than ever

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>before in our lifetimes. A return of the revolutionary spirit,

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the birth this nation from my own. I think it's

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>also a weekend to dwell on some words that I

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>recently re read from another of your presidents, Abraham Lincoln.

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>In eight he said, of those revolutionary scenes in the

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>form of a husband, a father, a son, or a brother,

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a living history was to be found in every family,

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a history bearing the indubitable testimonies of its own authenticity,

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>in the limbs mangled, in the scars of wounds received

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>in the midst of the very scenes related A history

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>too that could be read and understood alike by all

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the wise and the ignorant, the learned and the unlearned.

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>But those histories are gone. They can be read no

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.479
<v Speaker 1>more forever. They were a fortress of strength. But what

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>invading Foeman could never do, the silent artillery of time

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:58.719
<v Speaker 1>has done the leveling of its walls. It's time to

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 1>fight back against that island artillery. Now we secure freedom

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 1>for another generation. I'm Maraheam Kassa. This is the Buck

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Sexton Show again. We'll have some fantastic guests over the

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.040

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>which joining us now is none other than Stephen kay Bannon.

<v Speaker 1>He is, as you know, the former White House Chief strategist,

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>former CEO of the Trump campaign, and I'm delighted now

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to welcome Stephen K. Bann into the show. All right,

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the buck Sexton Show. My first guest here

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 1>today is Stephen K. Bannon, former senior advisor and campaign

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>CEO for President Donald J. Trump. Steve, thanks for joining

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>us here today, Raheem. I'm so glad to join you

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>in bucks Seston. Trum a huge fan of the show.

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>In buck Seston, I watched one of the HILP listen

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the show. But you know, most importantly, I'm trying to

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>track you down. You know, were since with me? Trumpet

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>War in today's Gateway Punish got that lead stories has

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>been seen over seven million times. I thought you did

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>camp to Hollywood. I couldn't tranking now. Well, I was

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna open with a question about Trumpet War, but full disclosure,

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I am in the movie made by Stephen cabin and

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 1>called Trumpet War. We're in the movie. You cork uh,

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Corey Rainard Jackson. The stars of the movie that you're in,

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess Joe Conta uh and others kind of steel,

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the kind of steel that you're one of the stars

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:35.199
<v Speaker 1>of it. Don't don't modest, Just don't don't be modest.

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>So well, thank you very much. So I saw that

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>story about how many millions of people that that movie reached.

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Tell us a little bit for the audience who hasn't

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe seen it yet or has it sort of in

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 1>there to do list. Tell us a little bit about

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the movie, how you got to, you know, conceptualizing it,

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and what impact you think has had on this on

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>this midterm election race. Well, look, you know, we're start

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>of conceiving the thing that nine months ago at the

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 1>beginning of year, thinking that in the closing days in September, October, November,

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>in the run up to the mid term, because it's

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>really going to be about President Trump, is nobody about

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>his agenda. It's essentially a referendum on Trump. And so

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.839
<v Speaker 1>we made a film really to galvanize the Trump based

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 1>This is not really a conversion film, although we've got

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>tons of anecdotal information of people showing it to their

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>family and converting over to support President Trump. It was

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>really made as a film like I made in the

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Tea Party year of two thousand ten, to motivate people

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to get out to vote, to walk precincts. I felt

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>early on we lacked the burgenescing at the grassroots level,

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>that that the left hand I saw a lot of

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 1>urgency and energy in the Times Up movement, in the

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Resistance and in Tom Styler's next in and I thought

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.079
<v Speaker 1>it was very important to get us to stop leaving

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>on the shovel. So, you know, I wrote the script

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.719
<v Speaker 1>structures that I've got a cast with you in the

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>court and other you know, just a terrific cast made

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the film. We distributed totally Free Go to Trumpet War

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.439
<v Speaker 1>Dot com I'm gonna just go to the Gateway party.

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the lead story. Click on. You can

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>share it with anybody. Not your ard is our and

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes long. I think it just won the UH.

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I think the Melbourne Film Festival two nights ago we

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.559
<v Speaker 1>can found that one the best documentary. So we're very

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>proud of that. Yeah, yeah, I knows so as it's Australia,

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 1>so it's both left and right. It's just not a

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>conservative thing. And they told us that we want best Documentary.

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Of course I went best Director, but I don't need

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to mention. Um, does that mean you have to go

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>to a stradiot to collected award? Now? No, Unfortunately they

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>already had the award I think I think it was

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 1>in New Mexico too at that time, because I've been

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>going around the country to these tough congressional districts and

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about the Trump program and why it's important. What

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>we need the grass roots to focus on is that

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.199
<v Speaker 1>this is all about President Trump. That you may be

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>voted for a rhino, maybe maybe accomplishment you're not totally

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 1>excited about. It doesn't matter. You gotta get out there,

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>You've gotta ring more balls. You've gotta work from banks.

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to drag people to the polls because

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>when he I think, coming down to the closing days,

0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>this thing's gonna be you know, at the wire somebody

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>that witness. Well, this is what I wanted to ask

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you about. You have been traveling around the country an

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>awful lot over the last couple of months. But where

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.439
<v Speaker 1>do you think right now? I mean we're just four

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 1>days out at this point in time from the from

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.559
<v Speaker 1>the mid term elections. Um, where do you think the

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, the key seats are. What have you seen

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 1>out there? And and and you know what should people

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.079
<v Speaker 1>bearing in mind when they go to the ballot box

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>on Tuesday, Well, the battot bix. I think you've got

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to focus on the Trump program because we lose the

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>House of Representatives, They're going to not just immediately get

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>impeachment hearing, who are They're actually gonna have I think

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 1>fifty investigations and really grind the Trump agenda to a hold.

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>So for me, it's all on the line here. I

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.959
<v Speaker 1>think the Senate, look, I think we had Nomatam before

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the pipe bombing incident and before this horrible massacre in

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.839
<v Speaker 1>tragedy in Pittsburgh at the synagogue. I thought we had

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the momentum it both in the Senate and the House.

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I still think the Senate looks safe and maybe pick

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>up a couple of two seats, um maybe even three.

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I think the House is a real dog fight. I

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:57.680
<v Speaker 1>don't think you don't see a blue wave, but I

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:02.319
<v Speaker 1>could see losing five seven seats. But I think we're

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats are vulnerable. I don't think they focused on

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>these seats that we could flip. Remember when him when

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I first left the White House, you were around when

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I had the meetings with some of the Republican Nostalgian guys.

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 1>At the time, they were talking about at eight seat

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>potential loss in the House of Representative. That was in

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>September of two thousand and seventeen. He saw that come

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 1>down the sixty to fifty I was on handity with

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>part days ago. I think it's at thirty or forty.

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's somewhere out around twenty five. But I

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>do think they're they're pickups. And I think some of

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 1>these key destis are you know. I think it's Mina Pennsylvania.

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's fourteens are reached a redistrict to one,

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>but the ones in Minnesota, I think it's Minnesota won

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>seven and eight. Seven just came into play last night, Uh, Nevada,

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Nevada three and four, the Danny Tarkinian nights out there

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.079
<v Speaker 1>and in the Hardy race, I think looked very competitive

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Arizona one, Wendy Rogers, I think, so it looks very competitive.

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>So you've got I think you've got, you know, four

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.359
<v Speaker 1>or five potential pick potential pickups and maybe you know Pennsylvania.

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I thinks a lot, maybe you want or two uh

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 1>after that, and I think that can make I think

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>these pickups can actually make the difference to hold the house.

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.439
<v Speaker 1>Right now, I think it's gonna be I think to

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.959
<v Speaker 1>change every day. The opposition is going in full force,

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the raising tons of money, a lot of it small

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.199
<v Speaker 1>donor uh. And you never know how something like a

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>working a cruise are gonna play out in Texas that

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 1>will have a huge impact on Culverson and sessions and

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>uh internally hurt. So there's things in play. I think

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 1>for your audience and for buck sexes, adent just half

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.199
<v Speaker 1>to engage. It's not too late to go in and

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 1>make phone calls. At a phone bank. It's not too

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 1>late to hit with a donation, but it most importantly,

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not too late to get all your friends, all

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>your colleagues, everybody you know out to vote if you

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 1>want to support the Trump agenda. To me, it's very

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>clear you just gotta get people out to vote. We're

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>speaking with Stephen cabot In, the former White House Chief

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>strategist and Trump campaign CEO Steve so this weekend you're saying,

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 1>is not the time to be catching up with your

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>binge watching Netflix. You know, I think it's the left

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 1>is you know, the left got something about President Trump

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>that it took uh, the Republicans now a while to

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>catch up. But they understand he's a transformative president in

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a historic figure. You know, he's in their head like

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>a cough Gass novel. And the reasons they know that

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Trump is gonna be in their personal lives twenty and

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty years from now. And it's just not the federal

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Judiciary's just not. It's not these hunted forty subtle judges

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and some it's much deeper than that. It's what he's doing.

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Economic nationalism. That's what he's doing. American first nationalist critic.

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Most importantly, I think for the left, it's what he's

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>going to deconstruction administrative state, which is really taking this

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot levias in the park, you know, brick by brick,

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think they understand that's gonna have huge implications.

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>So they understand he's in their lives and they want

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>him out, and that's why they put so much energy

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 1>so much. Look, I disagree that ideology. I admire, uh,

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 1>their grit and their hustle. They have done it like

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the Key Party in two thousand and ten. If they

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>do happen to have a winning night on on Tuesday,

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>it's because they went out and walk pretty since early.

0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely not too like this is we've got really,

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>we've got four days. You've got you Thurday Sunday evening

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 1>at Friday. I mean we get we get time. You

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 1>get time to get out and get time to go

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>to a campaign headquarters. There's tons of independent ex finishers

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>out there. They're setting up phone banks and people walking

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>neighborhoods to know if if you want the back President

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump's campaign, you know, binge watching Netflix this weekend is

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>not a good news of your time and um and

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll be talking to other guests on the over the

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>course of the show. Dr Sebastian Gorga will be joining us.

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:35.720
<v Speaker 1>What we're talking about the Iran sanctions and so on

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and so forth. Just just lastly, Steve, what have you

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 1>wanted to ask you about what you're doing right now

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 1>because you're you're you're actually in Toronto, am I right? Uh?

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:48.360

<v Speaker 1>of the future. Really honored to be up here that month.

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>People are obviously very class. I think it's thirty hundred

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 1>seat auditorium. They told me a day that because have

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>sold like fifteen thousand of tickets, so they said, had

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>tremendous demand. Obviously a number of people are not excited

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 1>about that, some protesters, but that's their their right and

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I appreciated that out there. Uh. From As, I've known

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.520

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Generation zero. Uh, he was a star before You Were Human,

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.280

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.720

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of a platform against you. No, no, no,

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.240

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:41.960

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.200

<v Speaker 1>a swing to see these uh, these tough districts. Look,

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.360
<v Speaker 1>it's all about the Trump based. If the Trump base

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.399
<v Speaker 1>turns out, things are going to be fine. If we

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>can't get the base out, then we may suffer when

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.399
<v Speaker 1>may lose the House. And I will just say it,

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 1>that would be terrible for President Trump's agenda. Well, to

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 1>quote a British Member of Parliament, George Galloway, when he

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 1>was speaking about Saddam Maseine, I salute your indefatigability, sir,

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 1>thank you, thank you for being the film. And hey,

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.440
<v Speaker 1>when he once you tweeted out, however you get to

0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>see you got all this Twitter fall, put it up

<v Speaker 1>raheam because I'm filling in for bucks Sexton today. I'm

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 1>pleased to have on the line a good friend of mine,

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a former deputy director in the Commerce Department. A trumpet pointee,

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.119
<v Speaker 1>Chris Garcia joins us on the line now, Chris, welcome

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:41.359
<v Speaker 1>to the show. We're a good to be on. Chris.

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, there are but four days now until the

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:48.399
<v Speaker 1>midterm elections, and I suppose there are those in the

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Democrat Party who want people to go into those polling

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 1>booths on Tuesday and talk about either or think about healthcare,

0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 1>or think about a migrant caravan, or maybe not think

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.160
<v Speaker 1>about a migrant caravan, depending on you know, how they

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>managed to spin it over over the weekend. Um. But

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the big one for me seems to be and from

0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 1>all the people I'm talking to, seems to be, well, actually,

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:15.399
<v Speaker 1>people have money in their pockets again, people have jobs

0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 1>where they couldn't have them before. You know, there is

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 1>an economic legacy that is already in place. But two

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>years into this administration, how high up the chain do

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.399
<v Speaker 1>you think Economics is going to be on Tuesday, and

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.200
<v Speaker 1>just walk us through a little bit of what you

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.400
<v Speaker 1>think the the you know, the achievements of this administration

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 1>have been so far and perhaps even where it's fallen down,

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.359
<v Speaker 1>if there's anything that you might have done differently, or

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>there anything that you know still remains to be done,

0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's a that's a great question about differently

0:19:55.520 --> 0:20:01.679
<v Speaker 1>or White House advisors. The President did one thing that

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:06.159
<v Speaker 1>was probably the foundation, I'll say, from when we're experiencing

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 1>such robust economic growth. Number One, he deregulated more than

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 1>any previous president had in history, where Putting Obama was

0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I think in lenting something like two ordered fifty billion

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.920
<v Speaker 1>dollars new regulations. In his first two years, President Trump

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 1>has cut twenty three billion dollars in regulations. UH. That

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>was coupled with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, more

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:36.920
<v Speaker 1>money in consumers pockets and American workers pockets and American

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 1>businesses operating accounts. That to groom and expand has led

0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to a huge, huge, We're at three percent GDP growth

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 1>now on track for three percent GDP growth throughout the year. UH,

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:50.679
<v Speaker 1>and that's going to be the first time that it

0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:54.199
<v Speaker 1>was ever done since two thousand and five. So the

0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 1>president knew what we all know on the supply side

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 1>of economics, all of the three traders and three more marketers, uh,

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.840
<v Speaker 1>know that you have to have a robust economic environment,

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:09.760
<v Speaker 1>in an environment that's conducive to entrepreneurship and and growth

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and expansion in order to be able to provide for

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the nation's defense, to provide for the social programs that exists.

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>So the President came to office into the right thing

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 1>right away, and that's why we're experienced this phenomenal growth.

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Now how that plays to the mid terms, unfortunately, because

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:30.679
<v Speaker 1>the rhetoric has been so devisive. Uh, you know, there

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:35.680
<v Speaker 1>there are a variety of distractions that are kept trying

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.719
<v Speaker 1>to take I would say American voters minds off of

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the successes that the president has realized. But that's something

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that we cannot overlook. The economic successes put more money

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:50.560
<v Speaker 1>in americans pockets, has allowed businesses to grow and expand. Uh.

0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:53.360
<v Speaker 1>And frankly, uh, we will see most more of them

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 1>if we continue to have a Republican Congress. Chris, what

0:21:57.359 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 1>do you say to the critics of this um this

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 1>admitted stration's trade policy. You know, there are there are

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.359
<v Speaker 1>sort of the Paul Krugman's of the world all the

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:09.640
<v Speaker 1>way over to the the the hard free market rights

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 1>saying that actually, you know, tariffs and an economic war

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 1>with China is going to cause more problems for people.

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 1>It's going to drive consumer prices up. It's going to

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:21.199
<v Speaker 1>lock us into this scenario of of of tip fit

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.440
<v Speaker 1>tat over the next ten or fifteen years. Uh. They

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>say this country cannot afford it, and and and that

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>even if it could, the jobs aren't coming back anyway.

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:32.480
<v Speaker 1>What do you what do you say to something like that? Well,

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:35.920
<v Speaker 1>let's break down why the president has slapped tariffs on

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 1>some of our trading partners in the first place. The

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>biggest co operate has been China. China since joining, since

0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 1>joining the World Trade Organization, and two other than one

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.320
<v Speaker 1>has abused the privilege of being one of the free

0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 1>trade partners. And I say free trade in quotations because

0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:55.199
<v Speaker 1>it's been anything but free. China has lied that they've stolen,

0:22:55.240 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 1>they've cheated, they've manipulated their currency, they've unfairly subsidized industries

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and dumped products like stealing aluminum to make it impossible

0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 1>for American consumers to American companies and UH and workers

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:14.679
<v Speaker 1>to compete UM. The There was recently a study that

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 1>was just released UH concerning the loss of three point

0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>four million American manufacturing jobs since two thousand and one

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 1>because of these practices that China has has implemented. Now

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the President is saying to China very simply cut this out. UH.

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Actually engage in free trade and reciprocal trade without subsidizing

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and without slapping tarraps on US products being imported to China.

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise we'll slap tarraups. Now, China has much more to

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 1>lose if they don't comply. They have really no replacement.

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 1>They have no alternative to the robust consumer base, whereas

0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the United States has. They we have much UH we're

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 1>working with, first of all, a much greater position of

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 1>strength because of the robust economy. China's economy is on

0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the downturn. But we also can diversify our supply chain

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:06.880
<v Speaker 1>away from China. And I think what President Trump has

0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:11.280
<v Speaker 1>done is twofold number one. He's striking fairer and more

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 1>reciprocal trade agreements. When we saw that with the new

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 1>napative that was struck the U S m c A.

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:19.639
<v Speaker 1>But Secondly, he's reorienting the supply chain away from China,

0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 1>away from South East Asia, and back to North America.

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:24.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's a huge win for American workers. So anyway,

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you slife that American companies and American workers are now

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 1>more competitive and they'll have frankly, a much uh much

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 1>a better chance to compete fairly and openly on the

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:38.680
<v Speaker 1>global market thanks to these policies adopted a further than Trump.

0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:43.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I UM. I attended a book launched by

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 1>by Stephen Moore UM in New York earlier this week,

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and and he told me an interesting anecdote. In fact,

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:51.679
<v Speaker 1>told the room an interesting anecdote. So I don't think

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm preaching any trust in in in relaying this. But

0:24:54.840 --> 0:25:00.199
<v Speaker 1>when when the economic advisory team on the UM on

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:03.159
<v Speaker 1>the transition first said to him, first said to the

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 1>President elect look or or or reiterated what they've been

0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>saying throughout the campaign. Look, you know, we need to

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:13.440
<v Speaker 1>have a competitive corporate tax environment because there are other

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 1>nations out there with corporate rates and we need to

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 1>go down to that as well. And apparently President Trump's

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 1>first reaction was absolutely not I want a fifteen percent

0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:26.359
<v Speaker 1>rate and and you know that I think speak I

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 1>think that it speaks to his instinct Number one, of course,

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 1>it's the art of the deal, right, if you go

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:32.040
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen, you're gonna get twenty, If you go over

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>to twenty, you're gonna get twenty five, so on and

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.040
<v Speaker 1>so forth. But it also speaks to his instincts about

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:38.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, letting that, letting that sort of beast of

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 1>American business, medium small and medium sized business, specifically letting

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.400
<v Speaker 1>it raw. And I don't think that's something that that well,

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 1>certainly something that we haven't seen in Europe for a

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:51.439
<v Speaker 1>very long time. And it's something that I think, you know,

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:55.320
<v Speaker 1>America with the Obama you didn't build that mentality hadn't

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:57.200
<v Speaker 1>seen for a very long time. What do you think

0:25:57.240 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 1>it does to the psyche of of business owners? And

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 1>what do you think it does to the to the

0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.920
<v Speaker 1>morale of the country that you've now got this this

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, you know, I'm not gonna say roaring

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:12.120
<v Speaker 1>economy just yet, but you have you know, the wheels

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:15.359
<v Speaker 1>are in motion. The stock market is you know, broad,

0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the broad trend is up. What is what is that

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:19.640
<v Speaker 1>doing to the country as you see it out there?

0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Chris well, no, you make a very good point. It's

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 1>about consumer sentiment, consumer confidence, and business optimism. We're seeing

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:31.640
<v Speaker 1>all time highs, record highs in both of those measures

0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:35.639
<v Speaker 1>because of President Frankly that now is standing up for

0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>American workers and consumers and American businesses, you know, the

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:42.640
<v Speaker 1>war as Larry Cuddler likes his profits, and the war

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:46.119
<v Speaker 1>on private enterprise and the war on corporations and businesses

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:50.440
<v Speaker 1>is over, provided that they adopt the America First Agenda,

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:53.359
<v Speaker 1>which President Trump says, Hey, listen, if you're going to

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:56.119
<v Speaker 1>be a US company, UM, you've got to pick a side.

0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Are you going to be, you know, supporting American workers

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>and growing and expanding and scaling and building new factories

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.400
<v Speaker 1>in the United States, or he's gonna you know, build

0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:10.520
<v Speaker 1>overseason in China or or or or Mexico or Canada. Uh.

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And so we saw the President really strike these deals

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 1>with these uh, with these corporations early on that returned

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:21.119
<v Speaker 1>many of these uh, these plants that had that that

0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 1>had vanished over the years because of the tough regulatory environment,

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:28.639
<v Speaker 1>because of the tough uh you know, tax environment. Uh.

0:27:28.680 --> 0:27:32.280
<v Speaker 1>And now we've got, as I said earlier, manufacturing jobs.

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:35.439
<v Speaker 1>They're coming back. We've got four point five million jobs

0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that are created since the president was elected, and you've

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 1>got I think four hundred fifty thousand manufacturing jobs something

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:44.439
<v Speaker 1>would like that. So so this is this is a

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:46.120
<v Speaker 1>real I mean, all you have to do is look

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:48.440
<v Speaker 1>at the facts. Look at the facts. You can't argue

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 1>with the facts. But that optimism, that business confidence, that

0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>consumer confidence, you know, that's the real measure of how

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 1>well these policies are working. Um. But frankly, this is

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:00.879
<v Speaker 1>this is going to come to an end. It's going

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 1>to come to a screeching hall. Uh. If we have

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:06.680
<v Speaker 1>these from these leftist uh you know, I would even

0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 1>say quasi socialists, some are outright socialist. Uh. You know,

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:13.199
<v Speaker 1>democratic candidates that are that are running for office, and

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 1>we get if we get them elected, if we hand

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:19.080
<v Speaker 1>control of the House of Representatives to Democrats, you can

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:21.880
<v Speaker 1>count and you can kiss all of this progress. Goodbye,

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:26.199
<v Speaker 1>Stark stark message there, Chris Gussie. I'm afraid we have

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:27.679
<v Speaker 1>to leave it there. I could ask you for for

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:30.280
<v Speaker 1>days and days about you know what it what it

0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:34.479
<v Speaker 1>would pretend, um, if the if the House is lost

0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:37.239
<v Speaker 1>on on Tuesday, But we'll have to leave it there

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 1>for now more another time, former Deputy director in the

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Department of Commerce, Chris Garcia, thank you very much for

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.680
<v Speaker 1>joining us here on the buck Sexton Show. So it's

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>a pleasure. Well that was very interesting stuff there from

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Chris Garcia. This is the buck Sexton Show. I'm Rahemkasam

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:57.520
<v Speaker 1>fan again four Bucks Sexton today. We'll be right back

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 1>all of this. For a group of people, a lot

0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 1>of whom are mothers and children, who posed no imminent

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 1>threat to the United States called us an invasion. It

0:29:09.400 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>might be the most pathetic invasion of a country in

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 1>world history, if if this were actually an invasion, But

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 1>of course it's not. Presidents sending troops to the border

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to deal with a caravan that hasn't proven to be violent.

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Stop sending their monsters. They're more mothers than monsters. Don't

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 1>say it. Why don't any of you say that? You know,

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>when you listen to that, especially when the mainstream media,

0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the establishment media, are referring to the migrant caravans, is

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 1>not an invasion or the worst invasion in history, And

0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>then you reconcile it with with you know, just a

0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 1>couple of a couple of years ago, a couple of

0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred troops from Russia found their way into into Crimea.

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:53.400
<v Speaker 1>And remember the world rightly called that an invasion. Well,

0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 1>now you have thousands upon thousands of people who are

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be amassing at the US southern border in

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the next coup of the days, and that's not an invasion.

0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>You know. I've done my own digging into this migrant

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:08.959
<v Speaker 1>caravan as it's called. I mean, it's it's it's not

0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:12.719
<v Speaker 1>a caravan, it's it's a it's a march of a

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of people out there with with who are hurling

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 1>rocks at helicopters, who are being arrested in the countries

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:23.440
<v Speaker 1>that they're going through because of criminal activity. The people

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 1>on the caravan themselves, the people marching towards you a

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:33.000
<v Speaker 1>southern border, are also reporting mass criminality within their own ranks.

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 1>When local news outlets go and speak to them, and

0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 1>when that comes itself up through Central America, when the

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:47.040
<v Speaker 1>news filters up and it goes through the establishment media filters,

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:49.640
<v Speaker 1>it comes out as what you've just heard, don't worry

0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:53.960
<v Speaker 1>about these guys. Everything's fine there, mothers, it's all mothers. Listen,

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:56.680
<v Speaker 1>do yourself a favor. Go go online right now. Go

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter right now and all you need to do.

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:00.840
<v Speaker 1>In fact, it's on my Twitter feed, just to give

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 1>myself a little plug. Go on my Twitter at Raheem Kassam,

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 1>right and you can see a video that clearly shows

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:12.040
<v Speaker 1>not just people hurling rocks into crowds and at helicopters,

0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 1>but people with molotov cocktails. This is this, These are

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the people we're just supposed to be like, oh, yeah, fine,

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:19.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, come to the southern border. We'll figure it

0:31:19.760 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 1>out when you get here. That's that's that's all well

0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:23.880
<v Speaker 1>and good. We'll we'll just you know, we'll process all

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 1>of the asylum claims, you know, allow it to just

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 1>happen freely. And what does it do? What would that

0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 1>approach do, which is, by the way, the approach that

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:33.880
<v Speaker 1>everyone is telling us to take, everyone on the left

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 1>and in the political establishment, that's what they're telling the

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:38.320
<v Speaker 1>President of the United States to do. Let them arrive

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and process their asylum claims. Don't try and dissuade them,

0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 1>don't try and identify who they are. Don't try and

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 1>identify criminality or even god forbid, terrorism coming up through

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 1>that southern border. Now just wait, just wait, hold your

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 1>fire wrong. This president has it right. And I'll tell

0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:58.640
<v Speaker 1>you as now, I don't call myself this very often

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:02.800
<v Speaker 1>are European as a European And thank goodness, we are

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:06.680
<v Speaker 1>leaving the European Union because what happened those years going

0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:09.360
<v Speaker 1>up to you remember the big migrant crisis in Europe.

0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 1>You remember in twenty fift when Angela Merkel, who has

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:16.680
<v Speaker 1>now been beating about beating about the ballot box in Germany,

0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:20.600
<v Speaker 1>when she welcomed two million people into the continent, didn't

0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:23.280
<v Speaker 1>really consult with anyone else, didn't ask, you know, the French,

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 1>or the British, or the Hungarians or the Austrians what

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 1>they thought. No, she said, come one, come all, don't

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:31.200
<v Speaker 1>worry about it. We believe you, we believe your stories.

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:34.040
<v Speaker 1>And it turned out what It turned out that you

0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 1>had hundreds of thousands of people who were not asylum

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:40.240
<v Speaker 1>seekers or fleeing war or poverty stricken. They were just

0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:44.560
<v Speaker 1>economic migrants. Now, I don't have a problem with economic migration.

0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I suspect nobody has a problem with economic migration as

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 1>long as it's legal, as long as it falls within

0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the boundaries that are set by the nation's state, which

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 1>has its own borders to control, and has its own

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:59.160
<v Speaker 1>policies and has its own president, the hands of which

0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:03.960
<v Speaker 1>within lay the whole power to set immigration policy. Correct

0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 1>me if I'm wrong, I'm not, but that's not what

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Merkel did. And what happened was the first year that

0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>it started, you know, really started back in twelve, couple

0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 1>of thousand people to start with. Then it became tens

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of people. Then it became hundreds of thousands

0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of people by in the high in the mid to

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>high hundreds of thousands and twenty probably, I mean, you know,

0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:29.040
<v Speaker 1>they lost count. There are there are estimates that go

0:33:29.160 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 1>from eight hundred thousand all the way up to two million.

0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm one of those people that, you know, I'll take

0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a conservative estimate, but I won't take a stupidly low estimate.

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:41.160
<v Speaker 1>There was over there was definitely over one point two

0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 1>million people that made their way into Europe. And why

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 1>because they were made to feel like anybody could come,

0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:48.760
<v Speaker 1>that the rule of law was out the window. The

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:51.719
<v Speaker 1>world all had open borders now. And that's exactly the

0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:55.360
<v Speaker 1>same mantra, it's exactly the same mentality that you're seeing

0:33:55.560 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 1>that you're hearing from that montage. We just played. It's

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. So take it from me, as somebody

0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>who has already watched the continent. I come from being

0:34:08.840 --> 0:34:13.320
<v Speaker 1>ravaged by this kind of stupidity. This you know, let's

0:34:13.360 --> 0:34:17.760
<v Speaker 1>all feel really nice about ourselves because there's a baby

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:20.080
<v Speaker 1>in a picture. You remember they did that during the

0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 1>European crisis as well. They put that young boy, Alan

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Curdie died on the beach because of human traffickers, by

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:31.319
<v Speaker 1>the way, who were making money off that route. They

0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:33.480
<v Speaker 1>put him on the front page of every single newspaper

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 1>to make me and you and everyone else feel bad.

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 1>But what was the real case there? The real case

0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:43.200
<v Speaker 1>there was criminality. The real case there was crossing borders

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:46.160
<v Speaker 1>when you shouldn't. The real case there was human traffickers

0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:51.560
<v Speaker 1>making cash of human beings. And I dare say, we're

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:54.480
<v Speaker 1>seeing that again here. We're seeing that in the United States,

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:57.799
<v Speaker 1>We're seeing that on your southern border. So take it

0:34:57.920 --> 0:35:02.240
<v Speaker 1>from me. I looked into this migrant caravan at length.

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:05.319
<v Speaker 1>I've looked into who the groups are, where their money

0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 1>is coming from. This has been in the works for decades,

0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and this weekend you're going to see more and more

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 1>of those pictures and right up until the midterms, You're

0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna see more and more of those pictures, and they're

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:18.959
<v Speaker 1>gonna try and make you vote not with your head,

0:35:19.800 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>not even with your heart, but with this globalist semblance

0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 1>of owing that you owe the world a living, that

0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:32.479
<v Speaker 1>you owe the world part of you. In the midst

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:35.000
<v Speaker 1>of all the whining coming from the left. I mean,

0:35:35.080 --> 0:35:37.919
<v Speaker 1>it's just crazy these days, right there, chasing people out

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 1>of restaurants, yelling at you in the coffee shop, acting

0:35:41.120 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 1>like a bunch of maniacs. You have to wonder why

0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:46.400
<v Speaker 1>in the world would anyone act this way. My guess

0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:48.480
<v Speaker 1>is they're just not getting their daily dose and black

0:35:48.560 --> 0:35:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Rifle coffee. I drink black Rifle every morning. In fact,

0:35:52.040 --> 0:35:54.400
<v Speaker 1>it's such delicious coffee that I'm usually a guy that

0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 1>likes a little con later in my coffee. But guess what,

0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:59.839
<v Speaker 1>I drink it black because it's black Rifle for one.

0:35:59.840 --> 0:36:04.400
<v Speaker 1>And also this is delicious, small batch roast to order coffee. Alright,

0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:06.799

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:38.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm Raheem Kassam filling in for Buck Sexton today as

0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 1>he is, I believe interviewing the vice president in Kansas

0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 1>much more important job to do for Buck today. But

0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:47.640
<v Speaker 1>he's left He's left you in my capable hands or

0:36:47.680 --> 0:36:51.239
<v Speaker 1>me and your capable hands. Perhaps. Um. We we have

0:36:51.440 --> 0:36:53.239
<v Speaker 1>so much to talk about, and we spend the first

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:55.799
<v Speaker 1>time we're talking about the midterm elections. But there's there's

0:36:55.840 --> 0:36:58.399
<v Speaker 1>there's other things going on in the world and other

0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 1>things that need addressing too. And you know, this president

0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:04.200
<v Speaker 1>isn't stopping with the business of of of running a

0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 1>country and with the business of being an international statesman,

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 1>which you know, whether whether they like it or not,

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:12.760
<v Speaker 1>all of these world leaders actually have to be and

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and and do the job that comes with it. Um.

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:18.759
<v Speaker 1>And one of those jobs is of course seeing off

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:23.840
<v Speaker 1>threats to the U s. Homeland and Barack Obama. I

0:37:23.880 --> 0:37:27.719
<v Speaker 1>have to say, I feel like I tread to think

0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:29.880
<v Speaker 1>how you guys would put it, but I feel like

0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:33.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't do a particularly good job of that, especially when

0:37:33.800 --> 0:37:37.359
<v Speaker 1>it came to a little country we call Iran. UM.

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:39.319
<v Speaker 1>I have a guest on the line now, a good

0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:41.799
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine who was a senior writer at the

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:45.279
<v Speaker 1>Washington Free Beacon, who's gonna unpack some of this for us,

0:37:45.400 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 1>because today the Trump administration UM announced that it was

0:37:50.520 --> 0:37:54.800
<v Speaker 1>going to reimpose all the Iran sanctions that were lifted

0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 1>by President Obama. Adam Credo joins us on the line

0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:01.719
<v Speaker 1>to discuss Adam, thanks for joining us, my pleasure. Thanks

0:38:01.719 --> 0:38:04.319
<v Speaker 1>for having me, Boddy. Hey, Adam, It's it's strange you're

0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:07.359
<v Speaker 1>you're on the you're on the campaign trail and I'm

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:10.080
<v Speaker 1>in an office in d C. Today as we've switched roles.

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Well here we certainly have. I'm in southern Florida, beautiful

0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 1>southern Florida. It's hot and humid. Well, I hope you're

0:38:17.880 --> 0:38:19.879
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're enjoying yourself and topping up your hand.

0:38:19.920 --> 0:38:22.160
<v Speaker 1>But I suspect that you're you're bashing away at the

0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:25.719
<v Speaker 1>keyboard most of the time, given the given the frequency

0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:28.319
<v Speaker 1>of the news, and and this is really your beat, right,

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the Iran stuff. I mean, I don't know a better

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.920
<v Speaker 1>reporter out there, ladies and gentlemen on this issue. Um,

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 1>So if you're not following Adam's work, He's going to

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 1>give you chapter and verse on why you should by

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:43.279
<v Speaker 1>flexing his knowledge. Right now, Adam, what what is going on?

0:38:43.600 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Why this timing? Um? Is this is this throwing the

0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:49.319
<v Speaker 1>baby out with the bath water? Well, there are a

0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:53.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of things happening here and it's it's complicated, so

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:55.279
<v Speaker 1>so I want to try to be as careful as

0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:58.759
<v Speaker 1>I can. The Trump administration on Monday is going to

0:38:58.920 --> 0:39:03.040
<v Speaker 1>reimpose most of the sanctions that were lifted by the

0:39:03.080 --> 0:39:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Obama administration when they ain't that nuclear deal, the j

0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:12.560
<v Speaker 1>c p o A or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Um. Essentially,

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:15.040
<v Speaker 1>are you telling me that CNN's headline is lying to

0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 1>me the senns has all sanctions. Yeah, that's not true.

0:39:19.080 --> 0:39:23.640
<v Speaker 1>That's the White Houses line, and they're they're misleading quite

0:39:23.640 --> 0:39:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Now, I report, uh late yesterday, only

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 1>promised publicly, but certainly also privately to reporters and other

0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:37.279
<v Speaker 1>experts in Washington, d C. Who kind of tracked this

0:39:37.520 --> 0:39:41.600
<v Speaker 1>issue closely. Iran is going to be allowed to remain

0:39:41.680 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 1>connected to SWIFT. That's the international banking system. It facilitates

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:50.160
<v Speaker 1>cross border transactions. This has been a key financial lifeline

0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 1>for TROD. It's kept business open with Europe. UH. The

0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:56.880
<v Speaker 1>administration for a time was saying we're not going to

0:39:56.920 --> 0:40:00.880
<v Speaker 1>allow this anymore because Iran also uses Swift for funding

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:04.080
<v Speaker 1>it's terror operations. It's a big source of income for

0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:07.319
<v Speaker 1>the regime over there, and they were first signally a

0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:11.279
<v Speaker 1>total disconnect, which would have jibed with what Republicans in

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Congress and certainly people like John Bolton were saying outside

0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:19.680
<v Speaker 1>of the administration. Now from inside the administration, they reversed

0:40:19.719 --> 0:40:24.280
<v Speaker 1>on that. That came after pressure from European allies, particularly Germany,

0:40:24.320 --> 0:40:27.839
<v Speaker 1>France and the Brits Um, who want to keep doing

0:40:27.840 --> 0:40:30.080
<v Speaker 1>business with a RAM. They want to keep the lines open,

0:40:30.239 --> 0:40:32.799
<v Speaker 1>so this is kind of a concession to them. The

0:40:32.840 --> 0:40:35.880
<v Speaker 1>other concession comes on the front of oil, one of

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the key sanctions that really could choke off UH the

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Iranian economy, and further kind of push a poppel which

0:40:43.640 --> 0:40:45.239
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people are looking for to

0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:49.600
<v Speaker 1>see that regime booted out because of the weak economy. Uh.

0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Instead they're issuing oil waivers. At least eight countries are

0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:55.600
<v Speaker 1>set to get these waivers. They last about a hundred

0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:58.239
<v Speaker 1>and eighty days. So as opposed to what the President,

0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:01.600
<v Speaker 1>John Bolton and this eighth Department was saying just a

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:04.400
<v Speaker 1>month or a month and a half ago, we're actually

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:08.280
<v Speaker 1>granting waivers to countries they can keep importing Iranian crude

0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:11.919
<v Speaker 1>oil and the imports will not reach zero. As many

0:41:11.960 --> 0:41:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Iran Hawks and others in Congress, UH, we're looking for those.

0:41:15.480 --> 0:41:18.000
<v Speaker 1>So this is UH created a bit of outrage. After

0:41:18.040 --> 0:41:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I ran my piece yesterday, I heard there was a

0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:25.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of um back and forth between Congress, the State Department,

0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the administration. John Bullton UH pulled the National Security Council,

0:41:31.040 --> 0:41:33.879
<v Speaker 1>the White House National Security Council off of a call

0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:37.680
<v Speaker 1>that was scheduled for just earlier today and left um

0:41:37.719 --> 0:41:41.160
<v Speaker 1>just Secretary of State Pompeo and Treasury Secretary now sent

0:41:41.480 --> 0:41:43.479
<v Speaker 1>to deal with it. So I think that signals level

0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of frustration that's coming from some of the harder line

0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:51.040
<v Speaker 1>elements in the administration and on Capitol Hill. But I

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:54.839
<v Speaker 1>can say in totality, these sanctions are much stronger than

0:41:54.840 --> 0:41:58.200
<v Speaker 1>what the Obama administration was pushing for, which was essentially

0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:02.040
<v Speaker 1>opening up a Ran to the globe. So from that side,

0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 1>it's good. But I think you're going to hear from

0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:07.760
<v Speaker 1>a rand hawks there's still away to go. And off

0:42:07.800 --> 0:42:11.359
<v Speaker 1>of that, Senator Cruizes working on a bill right now.

0:42:11.400 --> 0:42:14.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not quite soup, but it will be in the

0:42:14.040 --> 0:42:16.800
<v Speaker 1>coming weeks, and that's going to mandate the president fully

0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:20.160
<v Speaker 1>disconnect Iran from the Swift banking system. Well, so this

0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:22.440
<v Speaker 1>is this was gonna be my next question for you. Um,

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:25.440
<v Speaker 1>So what you're saying is the White House hasn't been

0:42:25.480 --> 0:42:28.759
<v Speaker 1>completely honest with by saying all sanctions, because of course

0:42:28.800 --> 0:42:32.440
<v Speaker 1>you have these these little carve outs. Um. But I

0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:34.279
<v Speaker 1>suppose that what they're doing is and I saw your

0:42:34.280 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 1>story yesterday by the way, I mean, Adam Credo, ladies

0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:39.880
<v Speaker 1>gentlemen had this up before anybody else, and had the

0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:43.480
<v Speaker 1>intel on this before anybody else. Um on this story,

0:42:43.600 --> 0:42:46.640
<v Speaker 1>and and yesterday ran the headline on the on the

0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Freebeacon dot com. Trump admin poised to cave on Iran sanctions.

0:42:50.320 --> 0:42:52.359
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm gonna push back a bit on on on that,

0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:54.160
<v Speaker 1>given that you gave me that You're not the only

0:42:54.200 --> 0:42:58.239
<v Speaker 1>one from But the difference is I don't work at

0:42:58.239 --> 0:43:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the White House. Yeah. Um, well, you know, cave isn't

0:43:03.080 --> 0:43:04.600
<v Speaker 1>cave a bit of a strong word like I mean,

0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 1>like you say, there are obviously a little bit here

0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and a little bit there. Maybe I don't know this

0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:14.719
<v Speaker 1>saving saving their powder for another another flash point, or

0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to dangle damically and sword over the heads um of

0:43:17.960 --> 0:43:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the Iranians at another another juncture, and maybe swift is

0:43:20.520 --> 0:43:22.120
<v Speaker 1>a part of that, or do you believe that there

0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:24.960
<v Speaker 1>is something more nefarious at play here? Like who has

0:43:25.000 --> 0:43:27.920
<v Speaker 1>got to this policy? Why did it change? Why did

0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:30.719
<v Speaker 1>people like John Bolton, who appears to be you know,

0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:34.520
<v Speaker 1>very well uh empowered within the administration not get his

0:43:34.560 --> 0:43:37.680
<v Speaker 1>way on this? Yeah? Like like most things, I think

0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:41.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a combination of both the points you mentioned. Um,

0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you in covering this closely, and I've

0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:48.040
<v Speaker 1>been lighting it for two or three months now, the

0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Europeans um just have been very very tough on this administration,

0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and the people handling talks on the half of Trump

0:43:57.760 --> 0:44:01.840
<v Speaker 1>appear to have sympathies to that European stands that Iran

0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:05.680
<v Speaker 1>should remain open for business, that countries should be allowed

0:44:05.719 --> 0:44:09.040
<v Speaker 1>to continue importing oil. And I think they've brought those

0:44:09.080 --> 0:44:11.879
<v Speaker 1>concerns back to the US and that's what we've seen

0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:14.120
<v Speaker 1>with the States departments. So the reason I use the

0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:16.520
<v Speaker 1>word cave, and I think it is actually a very

0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:19.560
<v Speaker 1>fair way to put it, is because we went in

0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:22.600
<v Speaker 1>with this tough line. This is what the President has

0:44:22.680 --> 0:44:25.600
<v Speaker 1>asked for, this is what N. S. A. Bolton has

0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:29.800
<v Speaker 1>asked for, and after months of negotiations, they walked that back.

0:44:29.880 --> 0:44:32.920
<v Speaker 1>As on diplomat put it to me yesterday, this is

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:35.360
<v Speaker 1>not what the president asked for. This is not what

0:44:35.440 --> 0:44:38.719
<v Speaker 1>he instructed the administration to do. They talk about a

0:44:38.840 --> 0:44:42.600
<v Speaker 1>maximum pressure campaign on a ran and this is not

0:44:42.680 --> 0:44:47.439
<v Speaker 1>maximum pressure. More can be done. Now, it's certainly fair

0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:50.359
<v Speaker 1>to also praise them for these moves. Yes, they are

0:44:50.360 --> 0:44:54.560
<v Speaker 1>reimposing a series of tough sanctions that will impact ranium banks,

0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:58.160
<v Speaker 1>that will impact oil energy, these kinds of things. But

0:44:58.239 --> 0:45:00.319
<v Speaker 1>then there are other issues you look at of little

0:45:00.360 --> 0:45:04.600
<v Speaker 1>nuclear cooperation. Essentially, Iran is going to be allowed to

0:45:04.640 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 1>continue building, constructing, and working with Russia and others on

0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:13.480
<v Speaker 1>nuclear reactors that gives you nuclear byproducts such as heavy water,

0:45:13.760 --> 0:45:16.720
<v Speaker 1>which can be used to power a nuclear weapon. These

0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:20.279
<v Speaker 1>small concessions mean something, and it sent a signal to

0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Tehran um that the Europeans are going to provide them

0:45:23.480 --> 0:45:25.880
<v Speaker 1>a lifeline. And that's exactly what they've done, and it

0:45:25.960 --> 0:45:29.320
<v Speaker 1>seems that in part that's what they've convinced this administration

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to do. Now we have waivers for a hundred and

0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:35.560
<v Speaker 1>eighty days. I'm told now that all In and the

0:45:35.680 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 1>NFC in the coming months are gonna push very hard

0:45:38.680 --> 0:45:42.680
<v Speaker 1>for swift and sanctions and oil all these reductions to

0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:45.800
<v Speaker 1>be brought fully down on Iran. But it's a waiting

0:45:45.880 --> 0:45:48.239
<v Speaker 1>game now. It's a matter of again if they can

0:45:48.280 --> 0:45:51.520
<v Speaker 1>win that position that the President is advocated. Once again,

0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:54.520
<v Speaker 1>we're speaking with Adam Creta, Senior Rice at the Washington Freebeacon.

0:45:54.560 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm Rhinkasam. This is the Buck Sexton Show. And just

0:45:57.520 --> 0:46:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to add another name into that mix, Donald Trump has

0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:05.840
<v Speaker 1>tweeted today Adam a meme um based on Game of Thrones.

0:46:05.920 --> 0:46:08.319
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen it. I think you've you've seen it?

0:46:08.360 --> 0:46:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen it? Great show? Yeah, I love it.

0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:12.399
<v Speaker 1>I read all the books too. I've I've I can't

0:46:12.440 --> 0:46:16.560
<v Speaker 1>read so UM, I've seen it. It says sanctions are

0:46:16.719 --> 0:46:20.840
<v Speaker 1>coming November five, and it's a stock picture of you

0:46:20.880 --> 0:46:23.640
<v Speaker 1>seen this, Yeah, like the winter is coming type of thing. Yeah,

0:46:23.680 --> 0:46:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I did see this meme, UM, and it's good. Look

0:46:26.480 --> 0:46:29.719
<v Speaker 1>the White House. UM. From what I've heard today, not

0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:32.200
<v Speaker 1>just from sources in Congress, and these are people that

0:46:32.239 --> 0:46:34.880
<v Speaker 1>have kind of been battling the administration on this, they're

0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:38.760
<v Speaker 1>they're uh somewhat more to the right than the administration

0:46:38.840 --> 0:46:41.640
<v Speaker 1>on the Iran sanctions. And I've also heard it from

0:46:42.160 --> 0:46:46.800
<v Speaker 1>US officials abroad who are working with the Europeans that yeah,

0:46:46.920 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 1>sanctions are coming, they will be reimposed, but there are

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:54.040
<v Speaker 1>multiple loopholes. After me and others last night reported these

0:46:54.120 --> 0:46:57.560
<v Speaker 1>latest concessions to Iran UM, it appears the White House

0:46:57.600 --> 0:47:01.600
<v Speaker 1>canceled a series of background briefings for UM experts and

0:47:01.640 --> 0:47:05.200
<v Speaker 1>other kind of administration validators. Uh. Like I said, Bolton

0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:08.719
<v Speaker 1>took himself off of the call. So there's there's fear.

0:47:08.800 --> 0:47:11.520
<v Speaker 1>They're scared, they feel like they're losing the narrative, and

0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I think means are a good way to kind of

0:47:13.719 --> 0:47:16.000
<v Speaker 1>get them back on track with that. So so that's

0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:18.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of my read on that. Well, and we've only

0:47:18.560 --> 0:47:21.279
<v Speaker 1>got a couple of minutes left here, UM, but I'd

0:47:21.320 --> 0:47:24.880
<v Speaker 1>love to ask you about the fact that you're in Florida,

0:47:25.400 --> 0:47:29.880
<v Speaker 1>UM and covering I know, the gubernatorial race Andrew Gillim's

0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:33.279
<v Speaker 1>ties to radical anti Israel groups. Can you tell us

0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:36.759
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about that in just a couple of minutes. Yeah. Absolutely.

0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Gilham is running against Bonta Santis, a former member of

0:47:40.000 --> 0:47:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Congress who resigned his seat. Uh to Santis, a lawmaker

0:47:43.680 --> 0:47:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I've worked with for years, very strong on foreign policy,

0:47:47.160 --> 0:47:51.719
<v Speaker 1>very pro Israel, very anti Iran. Gilham is pretty much

0:47:51.760 --> 0:47:55.839
<v Speaker 1>the complete opposite. Former mayor of Tallahassee, he's under investigation

0:47:55.920 --> 0:47:59.440
<v Speaker 1>for corruption he uh took free gifts from an undercover

0:47:59.560 --> 0:48:02.880
<v Speaker 1>FBI agent, And in addition to this, like I reported,

0:48:03.239 --> 0:48:08.520
<v Speaker 1>he has ties to numerous left wing George Sorrow's flendid

0:48:08.600 --> 0:48:12.279
<v Speaker 1>groups that very much advocated anti Israel position, that is,

0:48:12.880 --> 0:48:16.960
<v Speaker 1>um advocating in favor of boycotts of Israel. The BDS movement,

0:48:16.960 --> 0:48:19.880
<v Speaker 1>which we all know is very uh anti Semitic and

0:48:20.800 --> 0:48:24.160
<v Speaker 1>quite Vitch relic in the way they described the Jewish state,

0:48:24.560 --> 0:48:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and h Gilian has tried to run away from these ties,

0:48:27.400 --> 0:48:29.680
<v Speaker 1>but I think they're cropping up and they seem to

0:48:29.760 --> 0:48:32.719
<v Speaker 1>be chasing him on the campaign trail. UM. I was

0:48:32.760 --> 0:48:35.240
<v Speaker 1>at a rally just a couple of days ago where

0:48:35.280 --> 0:48:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump came and rallied for de Santis and Rick Scott,

0:48:38.080 --> 0:48:42.360
<v Speaker 1>who is also running against Bill Nelson, and discussed these things,

0:48:42.520 --> 0:48:44.719
<v Speaker 1>and um, from the reaction of the crowd, I think

0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:47.959
<v Speaker 1>they're getting the message now. Whether that translates to votes,

0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:51.359
<v Speaker 1>it's unclear. I think the Santis is viewed right now

0:48:51.400 --> 0:48:54.319
<v Speaker 1>a little bit as an underdog, but that could tie

0:48:54.320 --> 0:48:56.600
<v Speaker 1>you up in the next couple of days. I think, Well,

0:48:56.640 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm great. I wish we had more time, but really,

0:48:58.960 --> 0:49:01.760
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for going us from from Florida.

0:49:01.840 --> 0:49:04.440
<v Speaker 1>We'll see you when you get back to Washington, d C.

0:49:04.719 --> 0:49:07.399

<v Speaker 1>the process. We don't run around like Antifa with the

0:50:54.760 --> 0:50:57.560
<v Speaker 1>little arms and then go home, back home into mommy's

0:50:57.600 --> 0:51:07.319
<v Speaker 1>basement and put on the black uniform and the black helmet. Oh,

0:51:07.360 --> 0:51:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it's so disappointing when those helmets fall off and you

0:51:09.920 --> 0:51:14.319
<v Speaker 1>look at this week little face, isn't it and they

0:51:14.360 --> 0:51:16.640
<v Speaker 1>hit people with clubs, you know, they hit them again

0:51:16.680 --> 0:51:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and again. Oh, they're so lucky with nice soul. Oh

0:51:21.640 --> 0:51:24.439
<v Speaker 1>they're so lucky. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show,

0:51:24.480 --> 0:51:27.319
<v Speaker 1>am rahem, because I'm covering for Buck Sexton today. That

0:51:27.400 --> 0:51:31.040
<v Speaker 1>was one of my favorite moments from from President Trump's

0:51:31.080 --> 0:51:36.439
<v Speaker 1>speech on Thursday evening, calling out Antifa yet again. You'll

0:51:36.440 --> 0:51:40.799
<v Speaker 1>remember he's done that before. He's done it before, exactly

0:51:41.200 --> 0:51:45.880
<v Speaker 1>with with having uh the tequila song, I think it

0:51:45.960 --> 0:51:49.560
<v Speaker 1>was being made a meme of um and uh it's

0:51:49.600 --> 0:51:53.600
<v Speaker 1>that's it's certainly a long overdue, I believe, because you know,

0:51:53.680 --> 0:52:01.880
<v Speaker 1>from from about September the one to October the twenty ninth, eighteen,

0:52:02.800 --> 0:52:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I believe there are six hundred and thirty two acts

0:52:07.640 --> 0:52:13.279
<v Speaker 1>of violence and harassment against supporters of this president, of

0:52:13.360 --> 0:52:17.520
<v Speaker 1>supporters of President Trump. This is the the Antifa mindset.

0:52:17.600 --> 0:52:20.759
<v Speaker 1>You know. They often argue themselves that the reason that

0:52:20.800 --> 0:52:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Antifa cannot be prescribed as an organization, the reason that

0:52:24.440 --> 0:52:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Antifa cannot be dealt with on an institutional basis, the

0:52:27.800 --> 0:52:30.560
<v Speaker 1>way we might deal with a group like Almaha Jaroun

0:52:30.760 --> 0:52:33.480
<v Speaker 1>or or a terrorfaction, or or a far right neo

0:52:33.600 --> 0:52:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Nazi group or whatever it is, is because they say themselves.

0:52:36.960 --> 0:52:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Antifa says themselves. They say, but Antifa is not not

0:52:41.520 --> 0:52:45.840
<v Speaker 1>a group. It doesn't have a leadership. It's just a mindset. Man. Well,

0:52:46.320 --> 0:52:49.120
<v Speaker 1>you're right, I mean, it is a mindset. There are

0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:52.480
<v Speaker 1>members of Antifa. There are members who subscribe to that mindset.

0:52:52.520 --> 0:52:56.359
<v Speaker 1>They wear the T shirts, they fly the flags. Antifa

0:52:57.120 --> 0:53:01.040
<v Speaker 1>is a mindset of violence. It's a mindset of harassment.

0:53:01.080 --> 0:53:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a mindset that's born out of being. As President

0:53:05.960 --> 0:53:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Trump intimated there week, I believe both physically and of

0:53:09.920 --> 0:53:16.400
<v Speaker 1>will philosophically void. And I also believe deeply, deeply troubled

0:53:16.440 --> 0:53:22.279
<v Speaker 1>individuals who believe, they truly believe in their minds that

0:53:22.360 --> 0:53:26.799
<v Speaker 1>they are real litigating the Spanish Civil War on the

0:53:26.840 --> 0:53:30.480
<v Speaker 1>streets of Delaware, or on the streets of Florida, or

0:53:30.480 --> 0:53:35.960
<v Speaker 1>in the streets of California, they truly believe. And by

0:53:36.000 --> 0:53:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the way, one of the greatest diarists of that Spanish

0:53:39.320 --> 0:53:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Civil War, George or Well, would have nothing to do

0:53:42.080 --> 0:53:48.360
<v Speaker 1>with antifa. I say that as an Orwell aficionado. But nevertheless,

0:53:48.480 --> 0:53:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is something that does need addressing, because

0:53:51.600 --> 0:53:56.040
<v Speaker 1>when there's an attack from the right, or ostensibly from

0:53:56.040 --> 0:53:59.919
<v Speaker 1>the right to the left, everybody gets on their soap box,

0:54:00.160 --> 0:54:02.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody gets on their high horse, and they say, we

0:54:03.040 --> 0:54:05.920
<v Speaker 1>must condemn this, and the president needs to condemn it.

0:54:05.920 --> 0:54:08.840
<v Speaker 1>And he's not condemned it fast enough. He didn't condemn

0:54:08.840 --> 0:54:11.680
<v Speaker 1>it before it happens, so it wasn't fast enough. But

0:54:11.719 --> 0:54:16.399
<v Speaker 1>when there's attack from the left, an attack against the deplorables,

0:54:16.440 --> 0:54:20.680
<v Speaker 1>against the Trump supporters, the six and thirty two acts

0:54:20.680 --> 0:54:25.080
<v Speaker 1>of violence against Trump supporters over the last two years,

0:54:25.760 --> 0:54:31.239
<v Speaker 1>it's pitch silence. It's always silence. You don't get the

0:54:31.360 --> 0:54:34.960
<v Speaker 1>television shows showing the footage, you don't get the radio

0:54:35.000 --> 0:54:40.919
<v Speaker 1>programs playing the clips. It's stone cold silence. And I

0:54:40.960 --> 0:54:45.040
<v Speaker 1>think it behooves this administration. And I'm so glad President

0:54:45.080 --> 0:54:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump raised it to actually do something about it, to say,

0:54:48.680 --> 0:54:51.680
<v Speaker 1>you know what there is, and of course we know

0:54:51.760 --> 0:54:55.080
<v Speaker 1>there is a strain, no matter how small, a strain

0:54:55.520 --> 0:54:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of far right in neo Nazi violence all across the

0:54:58.680 --> 0:55:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Western world. I've seen it all across the Western world. Yes,

0:55:01.400 --> 0:55:05.720
<v Speaker 1>it exists, but you'll never get the other side saying

0:55:05.760 --> 0:55:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that about their side. I am avowed conservative, I'm a

0:55:10.040 --> 0:55:12.120
<v Speaker 1>right winger, and I say, yes, there are people who

0:55:12.120 --> 0:55:14.120
<v Speaker 1>try and attach themselves to a movement that I profess

0:55:14.200 --> 0:55:16.200
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of that do engage in things

0:55:16.200 --> 0:55:18.440
<v Speaker 1>like that, and the other side never has to account

0:55:18.719 --> 0:55:23.640
<v Speaker 1>for theirs. So this administration, I believe, should be doing

0:55:23.719 --> 0:55:28.040
<v Speaker 1>something about it, whether it's prescription of the organization that

0:55:28.160 --> 0:55:32.799
<v Speaker 1>isn't an organization, whether it's ensuring that the people who

0:55:32.840 --> 0:55:38.799
<v Speaker 1>are committing these attacks on ordinary American voters that they

0:55:39.200 --> 0:55:42.359
<v Speaker 1>feel the full force of the law. I'm just so

0:55:42.440 --> 0:55:45.000
<v Speaker 1>glad President Trump raised it, and I'm so glad he

0:55:45.080 --> 0:55:49.479
<v Speaker 1>told the truth that these are weak people. Welcome back

0:55:49.520 --> 0:55:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to the Buck Sexton Show. I'm Raheim Kasan filling in

0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:54.799
<v Speaker 1>for Buck Sexton, and we have another one of our

0:55:54.800 --> 0:56:01.000
<v Speaker 1>fantastic guests on the line, Dr Sebastian Gorka, the author

0:56:01.080 --> 0:56:05.080
<v Speaker 1>of the brand new book Why We Fight, which is

0:56:05.080 --> 0:56:09.920
<v Speaker 1>available via regulary UM on Amazon dot com. It's a

0:56:09.920 --> 0:56:13.600
<v Speaker 1>fantastic book. I was lucky enough to celebrate its release

0:56:13.800 --> 0:56:16.400
<v Speaker 1>with Dr Gorka here in Washington, d C. Just a

0:56:16.440 --> 0:56:19.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago. You'll all know him as a

0:56:19.719 --> 0:56:23.640
<v Speaker 1>former deputy assistant to President Trump. Dr Corker, thank you

0:56:23.640 --> 0:56:26.760
<v Speaker 1>for joining us here on the Buck Sexton Show. Thank

0:56:26.800 --> 0:56:29.280
<v Speaker 1>you so much for having me, and for the kind

0:56:29.320 --> 0:56:31.759
<v Speaker 1>words about my book, which is almost as good as

0:56:31.800 --> 0:56:36.200
<v Speaker 1>your books. No No Goes On. Thank you. You'll get

0:56:36.239 --> 0:56:41.239
<v Speaker 1>your cut of my royalty checks in the mail. Dr Corker. UM,

0:56:41.280 --> 0:56:43.799
<v Speaker 1>you know you're an expert, and you and I have

0:56:43.840 --> 0:56:46.239
<v Speaker 1>known each other for several years now, and whenever we

0:56:46.280 --> 0:56:49.040
<v Speaker 1>get together, we end up talking about UM. You know,

0:56:49.080 --> 0:56:53.040
<v Speaker 1>one of the issues closest to our hearts National security. UM.

0:56:53.160 --> 0:56:55.799
<v Speaker 1>And And when you look at what's going on in

0:56:55.920 --> 0:56:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Central America at the moment, when you look at what's

0:56:58.000 --> 0:57:01.200
<v Speaker 1>going on with this so called my igrant caravan, I

0:57:01.200 --> 0:57:03.719
<v Speaker 1>don't even know why they call it a caravan. There's

0:57:03.760 --> 0:57:06.640
<v Speaker 1>no caravan involved. This is a march of migrants, much

0:57:06.880 --> 0:57:10.360
<v Speaker 1>much as we saw in Europe in two thousand and

0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:13.959
<v Speaker 1>fourteen and fifteen and sixteen. UM, what does it tell

0:57:14.040 --> 0:57:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you first and foremost that the media is going to

0:57:17.080 --> 0:57:20.520
<v Speaker 1>such great lengths to say, no, you don't know that

0:57:20.640 --> 0:57:23.760
<v Speaker 1>there are any criminals in there. It's all mothers. You know.

0:57:23.840 --> 0:57:26.760
<v Speaker 1>We need to process these people with their asylum claims

0:57:26.800 --> 0:57:28.960
<v Speaker 1>on the border. They all deserve to come in. Well,

0:57:29.120 --> 0:57:32.000
<v Speaker 1>is that a political tactic or they or are they

0:57:32.040 --> 0:57:36.880
<v Speaker 1>genuinely that vacuous that they don't know what's going on?

0:57:38.960 --> 0:57:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it's deeper than that. I think well, I

0:57:44.160 --> 0:57:48.960
<v Speaker 1>think they subscribed to Hillary Clinton's philosophy. Remember that speech

0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:52.439
<v Speaker 1>that was leaked during the presidential campaign in which did

0:57:52.520 --> 0:57:55.400
<v Speaker 1>she addressed a group of bankers and where she said,

0:57:55.760 --> 0:57:59.160
<v Speaker 1>my dream is to have a borderless hemisphere, meaning no

0:57:59.440 --> 0:58:04.280
<v Speaker 1>border from Canada to South America, at which point America

0:58:04.400 --> 0:58:07.120
<v Speaker 1>ceases to exist. So, these are people who are so

0:58:07.960 --> 0:58:13.680
<v Speaker 1>so brainwashed by the post modern secular relativism of the

0:58:13.800 --> 0:58:18.320
<v Speaker 1>radical left that they actually think everybody has the right

0:58:19.040 --> 0:58:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to come to America, that being an American is is

0:58:22.920 --> 0:58:26.400
<v Speaker 1>some kind of human rights. It's it's quite stunning. And

0:58:26.760 --> 0:58:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the idea that they can vouch for the for the

0:58:29.480 --> 0:58:34.240
<v Speaker 1>probity of of ten thousand people without ever having met

0:58:34.280 --> 0:58:37.240
<v Speaker 1>any of them. It just simply beggars belief, and it

0:58:37.320 --> 0:58:40.800
<v Speaker 1>isn't assault on the national sovereignty of the United States.

0:58:41.640 --> 0:58:44.800
<v Speaker 1>In case anybody had forgotten, you know, Hillary Clinton's words

0:58:44.840 --> 0:58:46.760
<v Speaker 1>back in two thousand and thirteen, she was giving a

0:58:47.240 --> 0:58:51.720
<v Speaker 1>paid speech right to investors at the Brazilian banko ITTAW

0:58:52.160 --> 0:58:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and she said, my dream is a hemispheric common market

0:58:55.720 --> 0:58:59.240
<v Speaker 1>with open trade and open borders. I mean, very very

0:58:59.320 --> 0:59:02.120
<v Speaker 1>brazen about it. And so what you're saying, Dr Gorka

0:59:02.280 --> 0:59:05.040
<v Speaker 1>is these guys, whether it's you know, Jim Acosta or

0:59:05.360 --> 0:59:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Chris Cuomo or whomever, are just carrying Clinton's torch where

0:59:10.160 --> 0:59:12.560
<v Speaker 1>where she stumbled and fell over, rolled over a couple

0:59:12.560 --> 0:59:14.240
<v Speaker 1>of times, had a coughing fit, and dropped it in

0:59:14.280 --> 0:59:19.520
<v Speaker 1>two thousands sixteen. They look they they are the anti Brexit.

0:59:19.680 --> 0:59:24.480
<v Speaker 1>They are the people who think that borders are evil,

0:59:25.200 --> 0:59:31.080
<v Speaker 1>that the national identity is what fascists and white supremacists

0:59:31.080 --> 0:59:38.000
<v Speaker 1>believe in. They negate. They basically negate the modern Westphalian system.

0:59:38.480 --> 0:59:42.320
<v Speaker 1>That is that the quintessence of of the Judeo Christian

0:59:42.760 --> 0:59:48.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, civilization, whereby nations have identities, they have sovereignty,

0:59:48.200 --> 0:59:51.520
<v Speaker 1>they have border, they have culture. For for them. All

0:59:51.560 --> 0:59:55.280
<v Speaker 1>of these words are hate speech. So let's talk a

0:59:55.280 --> 0:59:58.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit about the specifics of the caravan. Then, Um,

0:59:58.720 --> 1:00:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, who who are these people? How is this

1:00:02.480 --> 1:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>thing funded? How can we now seeing busses and trailers,

1:00:06.840 --> 1:00:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and more importantly, how come we now seeing rocks and

1:00:09.600 --> 1:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Molotov cocktails and so on and so forth. I thought

1:00:12.280 --> 1:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>this was all mothers with babes in arms. Um, well,

1:00:16.800 --> 1:00:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I think we should look to the incredible work of

1:00:20.480 --> 1:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>people like my colleague at Fox, Sarah Carter, who speak

1:00:24.560 --> 1:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Spanish and who actually went there to interview and investigate

1:00:29.680 --> 1:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the caravan, as opposed to Jim Acosta, whose real name

1:00:34.840 --> 1:00:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I think is Albio Acosta, who seems to be ashamed

1:00:39.040 --> 1:00:43.919
<v Speaker 1>of his Hispanic heritage, who sit in there plush studios

1:00:43.960 --> 1:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>in New York and pontificate about who is in the caravans.

1:00:48.160 --> 1:00:51.160
<v Speaker 1>If you listen to Sarah, these are the majority of

1:00:51.200 --> 1:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the people are military age males, none of whom seem

1:00:55.640 --> 1:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>to have any any backing, any grounds for it testing

1:01:00.360 --> 1:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>political asylum. And if you look at the fact that

1:01:03.560 --> 1:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>even what it was at Univision by accident found South

1:01:09.080 --> 1:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Asians inside the caravans. People for example from Bangladesh. That's

1:01:16.080 --> 1:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>journalism when you actually go there and interview these people,

1:01:21.480 --> 1:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and very few including as you say, a Billio a

1:01:24.440 --> 1:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Bilio Acosta, Jim Acosta's real name, which, by the way,

1:01:28.000 --> 1:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>we all have to refer to him as everybody's got

1:01:30.560 --> 1:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to tweet at him that now. I mean, why why

1:01:33.040 --> 1:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>why is he hiding his his his Is he ashamed

1:01:36.160 --> 1:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>of his heritage? I saw that on your Twitter feed today,

1:01:38.280 --> 1:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Dr Gorgus, thank you, And it really is that this

1:01:41.880 --> 1:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>is this is the arrogance of the left that they

1:01:45.800 --> 1:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>can't even admit to their ethnic background because they're November

1:01:50.320 --> 1:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>of the quote unquote media elite. Jim, you're no longer

1:01:55.440 --> 1:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Jim to those who know well, Dr Gorger, I wanted

1:01:59.360 --> 1:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>to I wanted to also tie this to the mid

1:02:01.520 --> 1:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>terms because the the you know, the question on everyone's

1:02:04.960 --> 1:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>lips has been now for the last week as regards

1:02:07.160 --> 1:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>this migrant caravan is you know, when will it arrive,

1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>When will arrive on the southern border, Will it get

1:02:11.960 --> 1:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>there on on Sunday and or Monday or Tuesday morning?

1:02:16.040 --> 1:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Ready for the for the pictures of of of you know,

1:02:18.760 --> 1:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the five crying children that they'll line up there and

1:02:21.840 --> 1:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and then accused President Trump of being cold and heartless

1:02:24.840 --> 1:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and so on and so forth. Um and and you

1:02:27.320 --> 1:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>know that sort of is one of the big topics

1:02:32.040 --> 1:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>on the minds of people this weekend. I think as

1:02:34.800 --> 1:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>they reconcile, you know, perhaps that same as you raised

1:02:38.000 --> 1:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>a Hillary Clinton mentality versus what we've seen over the

1:02:42.040 --> 1:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>last two years. So just let's let's talk a bit

1:02:43.960 --> 1:02:46.640
<v Speaker 1>about what that's not, just what the stakes are obviously

1:02:46.640 --> 1:02:48.479
<v Speaker 1>at the midterms. And and and by the way, ladies

1:02:48.480 --> 1:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and gentlemen, Dr Gawker is a co star alongside me

1:02:52.200 --> 1:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>in that Trumpet War movie that we spoke with Stephen K.

1:02:55.680 --> 1:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Bannon about earlier in the program. Um and and actually

1:02:58.880 --> 1:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>gets the best part of the movie because he has

1:03:02.360 --> 1:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>the best voice and the best metaphor at the end

1:03:05.560 --> 1:03:07.920
<v Speaker 1>of the movie. But I think I hope you can

1:03:07.960 --> 1:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>walk us through that a little bit. What you said

1:03:10.760 --> 1:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>in Trumpet War, and what what the stakes of this

1:03:13.560 --> 1:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>midterms are, especially considering just a migrant caravan, but the

1:03:16.920 --> 1:03:19.640
<v Speaker 1>economic situation. And I know you always bring up you

1:03:19.640 --> 1:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>know what, what what are the Democrats going to run

1:03:21.600 --> 1:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>on bringing back isis take it away? Thank you? It's

1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>really it's very simple. In twenty six the positive disrupted

1:03:34.600 --> 1:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the iconoclass from the queens, gave us a window, gave

1:03:39.360 --> 1:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>us a chance to claw back our freedom, to claw

1:03:43.520 --> 1:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>back our republic space, as as the rightful, shining city

1:03:49.720 --> 1:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>on the hill, to fight back, to resist the political

1:03:55.160 --> 1:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>correctness that had dominated American politics and culture for more

1:03:59.840 --> 1:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>than the generation. But all of that, all of that

1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>is on the ballot. In what is it? Four Days Time?

1:04:09.760 --> 1:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Just look at the last two months, I wrote Why

1:04:12.880 --> 1:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>We Fight, and not just as an analysis of the

1:04:16.080 --> 1:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>threats American faces, but the shed a light on who

1:04:20.280 --> 1:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats have become. In it, I write about Whittaker Chambers,

1:04:25.480 --> 1:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the man who was Judge Kavanaugh before Judge Cavanaugh was

1:04:30.200 --> 1:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>even born. The Democrat pie today is the mob. You

1:04:36.040 --> 1:04:39.439
<v Speaker 1>look at that, the treatment of this righteous, godly man,

1:04:40.160 --> 1:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the hands of absolute frauds like Corey Booker, Kamala Harris,

1:04:45.560 --> 1:04:50.520
<v Speaker 1>and Diane Feinstein who had let's not forget a Chinese

1:04:51.000 --> 1:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>intelligence agents on her pay role in the Senate for

1:04:55.520 --> 1:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty years. And these people want to take control of

1:04:59.640 --> 1:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>our Maxie Morris, who has pulled openly again and again

1:05:05.200 --> 1:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and again for the um denunciation and the harassments of

1:05:10.800 --> 1:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>members of the Trump administration. She's going to be the

1:05:14.800 --> 1:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>chair of the Finance Committee. If we do don't do

1:05:18.080 --> 1:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>our job on on on the midterm elections and vote

1:05:22.000 --> 1:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>down to Republican all the way. But everybody says that

1:05:25.880 --> 1:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>every few years this is the most consequential election in

1:05:29.360 --> 1:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>your lives. This time, for once, it's actually truer. You. Yeah,

1:05:35.720 --> 1:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that's right. I mean, I opened

1:05:37.520 --> 1:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I opened the show today effectively saying the same thing.

1:05:41.120 --> 1:05:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not one for hyperbole. If anything, I sort of

1:05:44.280 --> 1:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>take conservative estimates of occasions as well as um, you know,

1:05:49.080 --> 1:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>elections and so on and so forth. But this this

1:05:51.520 --> 1:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>does feel just just incredibly pivotal. It's about submit whether

1:05:55.280 --> 1:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>or not it's aments the victory of twenty sixteen, whether

1:05:58.400 --> 1:06:01.480
<v Speaker 1>or not the swamp continues to be, or whether the

1:06:01.520 --> 1:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>American people say, no, actually, you know what, we changed

1:06:04.400 --> 1:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>our minds. We do kind of like the swamp, and

1:06:06.120 --> 1:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>we do want higher taxes, and we do want Isis back,

1:06:09.000 --> 1:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, as you as you've put it before. And

1:06:11.200 --> 1:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I just don't I don't think, at least I don't hope,

1:06:14.640 --> 1:06:17.280
<v Speaker 1>um that they'll go in for it. Um Dr Gorka.

1:06:17.320 --> 1:06:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I wish we had I wish we had some more time,

1:06:19.520 --> 1:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>but we're pressed here and I know you have a

1:06:21.880 --> 1:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>very busy schedule coming up over the next few days

1:06:24.120 --> 1:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>doing your part um. And if people want to do

1:06:27.360 --> 1:06:29.600
<v Speaker 1>their part in helping you, they can always go on

1:06:29.640 --> 1:06:34.400
<v Speaker 1>to Amazon and and get the great book personally recommended

1:06:34.480 --> 1:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>by me. It's called Why We Fight by Dr Sebastian Gorka.

1:06:38.120 --> 1:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Dr Gorka. Any final words and and where else can

1:06:40.440 --> 1:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>they get the book? If they don't want to line

1:06:41.960 --> 1:06:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Bezos his pockets, well they can go to Barns

1:06:45.920 --> 1:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and Noble. They can buy it from one of the

1:06:47.600 --> 1:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>few booksellers left in America. And also the audible. You're

1:06:51.560 --> 1:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna go and buy it on iTunes or Audible in

1:06:53.600 --> 1:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>audio format and you can hear my strange accent for

1:06:56.840 --> 1:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>about eight hours. Really use the book. But for them,

1:07:00.400 --> 1:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>all is you know, find the book. If you're interested

1:07:02.440 --> 1:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>in might take on why we find the most Important Boots.

1:07:05.600 --> 1:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Don't take anything to granted to them. Vote this week

1:07:09.320 --> 1:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and take others who would not otherwise go to the

1:07:13.280 --> 1:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>polls check them to vote as well, because it really

1:07:17.160 --> 1:07:19.840
<v Speaker 1>is about whether or not the mob's going to take

1:07:19.880 --> 1:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>control of for life jobs, not mobs. There you go,

1:07:23.280 --> 1:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Dr Sebastian Gorka, thank you so much for joining us

1:07:25.920 --> 1:07:29.320
<v Speaker 1>here on the buck Sexton Show. My name is Rahemkasam

1:07:29.560 --> 1:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>covering four bucks Sexton today. Will be right back say

1:07:35.000 --> 1:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to you. We have an election. No sex, this is

1:07:38.320 --> 1:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>be This may be the most important one that you've

1:07:41.880 --> 1:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>ever had to experience. This is the midterm election. And

1:07:45.920 --> 1:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>oftentimes people only vote in the presidential election because they

1:07:50.000 --> 1:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think this is important enough. But this is absolutely important.

1:07:54.680 --> 1:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>That's all the insurance come, that's all the banks, and

1:07:57.760 --> 1:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>so of course the CEO is that the banks now

1:08:01.040 --> 1:08:03.919
<v Speaker 1>is saying what can we do to stop vaccine waters

1:08:03.960 --> 1:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>because if she gets in, she's gonna give us a

1:08:06.000 --> 1:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>bad time. I have not forgotten you four clothes on

1:08:09.080 --> 1:08:17.840
<v Speaker 1>our houses. I've forgot forgotten that you undermine our community.

1:08:17.880 --> 1:08:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I have not forgotten that you sold us those exotic products.

1:08:21.479 --> 1:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Had a sign on the line, but jump and for

1:08:24.360 --> 1:08:27.400
<v Speaker 1>mess that we could not afford. And in doing that,

1:08:27.520 --> 1:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I have people who are on the homes who have

1:08:29.400 --> 1:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>never gotten back into a home. What am I gonna

1:08:31.960 --> 1:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>do to you? What I'm gonna do to U s

1:08:34.200 --> 1:08:36.439
<v Speaker 1>F I'm gonna do to you what you did to us.

1:08:40.040 --> 1:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Maxine Waters. There, this is the Buck Sexton show. I'm

1:08:43.080 --> 1:08:49.599
<v Speaker 1>raheem because some Maxine Waters, Congressman Maxine Waters showing again

1:08:49.760 --> 1:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the sort of vindictiveness as far as I am concerned,

1:08:53.120 --> 1:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and and pure royal nature of the debate as the

1:08:55.680 --> 1:08:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Democrats have set it up. Now, those who have been

1:08:58.560 --> 1:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>paying attention, I'm sure we all have over the last

1:09:01.280 --> 1:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of months, have seen the debate go further and

1:09:03.840 --> 1:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>further into the toilet with the Michael Abanatis and and

1:09:08.320 --> 1:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the Kavanagh staff and and and all of that, and

1:09:11.000 --> 1:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and they're not learning their lessons as far as I'm concerned.

1:09:13.000 --> 1:09:14.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you want to hold up Maxine Waters

1:09:14.640 --> 1:09:17.639
<v Speaker 1>to be your greatest spokesman, I mean, fill your boots

1:09:17.760 --> 1:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>as far as I'm concerned, because it only helps my side,

1:09:22.080 --> 1:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and it only helps people with my mentality, but it

1:09:24.320 --> 1:09:27.160
<v Speaker 1>also does something else for me. It reminds me that

1:09:27.240 --> 1:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>not only are they so petty, are they so vindictive,

1:09:32.200 --> 1:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>but that they've also got the prescription incorrect. I mean,

1:09:35.400 --> 1:09:38.439
<v Speaker 1>think about what she just said there, Think about the

1:09:38.520 --> 1:09:41.719
<v Speaker 1>sort of house foreclosures and the and the financial crash

1:09:41.760 --> 1:09:44.519
<v Speaker 1>and all of this stuff that wasn't That wasn't the

1:09:44.640 --> 1:09:49.479
<v Speaker 1>making of a of a sort of free market right wing,

1:09:49.560 --> 1:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>nor nationalistic nor popularist government. It wasn't the making of

1:09:53.800 --> 1:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>someone like President Trump. It wasn't the making of the

1:09:56.680 --> 1:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>MAGA base. It was the making of globalist institutions. So

1:10:00.040 --> 1:10:03.839
<v Speaker 1>when President Trump says that the left have gone crazy,

1:10:05.000 --> 1:10:07.639
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a pretty good explainer for In fact,

1:10:08.120 --> 1:10:11.519
<v Speaker 1>if we could play clip one from the Missouri rally,

1:10:11.560 --> 1:10:14.560
<v Speaker 1>president Trump says it better than I ever could. The

1:10:14.760 --> 1:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>choice in this election could not be more clear. The

1:10:19.360 --> 1:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Republican agenda is the mainstream agenda of the American people.

1:10:24.280 --> 1:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>It's how we all got here, the greatest movement in

1:10:28.080 --> 1:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>the history of politics in our country. It's about you,

1:10:36.000 --> 1:10:40.519
<v Speaker 1>not about me. The Democrat agenda is the agenda of

1:10:40.560 --> 1:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the extreme far left. They've gone crazy, folks. They've gotten

1:10:45.479 --> 1:10:51.719
<v Speaker 1>totally loco. They have gone loco. They have absolutely gone loco.

1:10:52.080 --> 1:10:54.320
<v Speaker 1>And I know that a lot of it is calculated projection.

1:10:54.360 --> 1:10:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Don't get me wrong. I was I was a political strategist,

1:10:56.720 --> 1:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I was a campaign person. I understand that the lies happen,

1:11:00.840 --> 1:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that some of them know what they're doing. When they

1:11:03.000 --> 1:11:07.920
<v Speaker 1>blame this administration for for the pitfalls of globalism, and

1:11:07.920 --> 1:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and also, by the way, by the same measure, Barack

1:11:12.000 --> 1:11:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Obama wants to take credit for where the economy is

1:11:15.600 --> 1:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>right now, which I always scratched my head, by the way,

1:11:17.320 --> 1:11:19.680
<v Speaker 1>because I think I hear time and time again from

1:11:19.680 --> 1:11:22.439
<v Speaker 1>the left and the left media that this country is

1:11:22.439 --> 1:11:26.160
<v Speaker 1>in dire straits and it's all a fake boom and

1:11:26.320 --> 1:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>this president is making things worse than Barack Obama walks

1:11:29.160 --> 1:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>onto stage and he goes, yeah, I did that. That

1:11:31.200 --> 1:11:34.720
<v Speaker 1>was me. Well, how you can either take credit if

1:11:34.760 --> 1:11:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you think it's good, or distance yourself from it you

1:11:37.040 --> 1:11:39.479
<v Speaker 1>think it's bad. You can't do both. But that's what

1:11:39.520 --> 1:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>they're doing. So I know a lot of it is

1:11:41.320 --> 1:11:43.479
<v Speaker 1>is lies in projection. But there are people like Maxine

1:11:43.479 --> 1:11:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Waters who sadly I believe you know she I think

1:11:46.680 --> 1:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>she believes what she says, bless her or as you

1:11:49.439 --> 1:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>guys say, blessed, bless her cotton socks. Right. I mean,

1:11:52.479 --> 1:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>this is this is um. I mean it reminds me

1:11:55.040 --> 1:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>of of of being back in England quite frankly. I mean,

1:11:57.760 --> 1:11:59.759
<v Speaker 1>after the breaks of vote, some of you will probably

1:11:59.800 --> 1:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>know I wouldn't suggest paying particularly close attention to it

1:12:02.920 --> 1:12:05.679
<v Speaker 1>because it's it's eminently depressing. But after the breaksit vote,

1:12:05.720 --> 1:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>we voted for that great rebellious um instinct that we

1:12:09.800 --> 1:12:13.080
<v Speaker 1>had within us, and the political establishment took that away

1:12:13.080 --> 1:12:15.479
<v Speaker 1>from us and turned it into a process. They turned

1:12:15.560 --> 1:12:19.599
<v Speaker 1>into an administrative state thing. And and I guess that's

1:12:19.600 --> 1:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the same thing as you're seeing here um in the

1:12:22.240 --> 1:12:23.880
<v Speaker 1>United States as well. So I just you know, I

1:12:23.880 --> 1:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>wanted to present you guys with that dichotomy between what

1:12:27.920 --> 1:12:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Max and Water says on the stump versus what President

1:12:30.439 --> 1:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Trump said at the Missouri rally this week, and a

1:12:32.960 --> 1:12:36.439
<v Speaker 1>lot more to come this weekend. I'm I'm certainly gonna

1:12:36.439 --> 1:12:39.519
<v Speaker 1>be glued to watching it all take place. This is

1:12:39.880 --> 1:12:43.479
<v Speaker 1>the buck Sexton Show. I'm Raheem Kassam will be right back.

1:12:45.320 --> 1:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the buck Sexton Show. I'm Raheemkasam covering

1:12:48.240 --> 1:12:51.120
<v Speaker 1>for Buck Sexton today. I wanted to get a little

1:12:51.120 --> 1:12:53.400
<v Speaker 1>bit more detail for you guys on some of the

1:12:53.520 --> 1:12:58.840
<v Speaker 1>races taking place across the country. Culmination in just four

1:12:59.040 --> 1:13:02.960
<v Speaker 1>days time. On Tuesday, we will know does the House

1:13:03.200 --> 1:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>stay Republican control, does the Senate joining us on the

1:13:07.040 --> 1:13:08.880
<v Speaker 1>line to discuss it is a good A friend of mine,

1:13:08.920 --> 1:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>commentator and analyst Matthew Tierman. Matthew, you've been following this,

1:13:13.720 --> 1:13:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I think like no other I've seen. I mean, maybe

1:13:17.680 --> 1:13:20.519
<v Speaker 1>maybe Pat Cadell could go toe to toe with you

1:13:20.600 --> 1:13:23.800
<v Speaker 1>on this. One of my favorite, one of my favorite pollsters.

1:13:24.200 --> 1:13:26.960
<v Speaker 1>But I think I think you know you have become

1:13:28.000 --> 1:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>obsessed to to Uh well, I don't know. You tell

1:13:32.320 --> 1:13:35.559
<v Speaker 1>me to what lens? Would you suggest that your obsession

1:13:35.560 --> 1:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>has engulfed you? No, I don't. I don't know if

1:13:38.520 --> 1:13:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that might be a little stream. But you know,

1:13:40.680 --> 1:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>it's all you're talking about. It's all you're talking about.

1:13:43.800 --> 1:13:46.800
<v Speaker 1>It's all you're talking about. This is a very you know,

1:13:46.920 --> 1:13:49.479
<v Speaker 1>because this is a very very interesting moment because in

1:13:50.400 --> 1:13:56.400
<v Speaker 1>we had a American electoral historic inflection. Trump did something

1:13:56.439 --> 1:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>no one did which has taken down the Union ross

1:13:58.960 --> 1:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>belt Democrat machine didn't make it republican. And now we

1:14:02.920 --> 1:14:06.439
<v Speaker 1>get to see is that validated? Uh? Now, the calidy

1:14:06.600 --> 1:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the map is pretty difficult on the House, is the

1:14:08.760 --> 1:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>mainstream media has suggested. But this blue wave they've been

1:14:12.360 --> 1:14:14.280
<v Speaker 1>talking about for the last few months is not only

1:14:14.280 --> 1:14:18.400
<v Speaker 1>not materialized, it may actually be stillborn. The Senate is

1:14:18.479 --> 1:14:22.519
<v Speaker 1>what nobody's really talking about, because we could win a

1:14:22.720 --> 1:14:26.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of Senate seats. Right now, we're pretty safe with

1:14:26.720 --> 1:14:30.160
<v Speaker 1>fifty one, and there's what they're calling six toss up

1:14:30.600 --> 1:14:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Senate seats, and we should be able to run the

1:14:32.680 --> 1:14:35.120
<v Speaker 1>tam by we I mean Republicans, you know, on the

1:14:35.120 --> 1:14:38.360
<v Speaker 1>on the right, the pro Trump Republicans, not the old

1:14:38.360 --> 1:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>school establishment GOP. They also got uh they're bus handed

1:14:42.439 --> 1:14:44.439
<v Speaker 1>to him in ten on a lot of levels, which

1:14:44.479 --> 1:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>has been refreshing. But there's six established toss up seats

1:14:49.760 --> 1:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and we look to basically run the table on them.

1:14:53.439 --> 1:14:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Uh the uh, the The only one that's really difficult

1:14:56.680 --> 1:14:59.880
<v Speaker 1>is Florida. Florida's sort of the new Ohio and as

1:15:00.080 --> 1:15:03.880
<v Speaker 1>very very important for because if the Democrats win both

1:15:03.880 --> 1:15:06.519
<v Speaker 1>the Senate seat and the governor's mansion, they will be

1:15:06.520 --> 1:15:09.760
<v Speaker 1>in charge of redistricting, and uh, they will be able

1:15:09.800 --> 1:15:12.599
<v Speaker 1>to have some influence on where the fourth biggest state

1:15:12.720 --> 1:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>and really the most purple state in the country, uh,

1:15:15.080 --> 1:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>swings in. It's a you know, it used to be

1:15:17.760 --> 1:15:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the presidency was one through Ohio, but going forward, it

1:15:21.640 --> 1:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>looks like it's going to be Florida. Because Texas, California,

1:15:24.880 --> 1:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>New York. The three largest states ahead of Florida are

1:15:28.080 --> 1:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>rather established Texas Republican, California, and New York Democrat. But

1:15:33.240 --> 1:15:36.720
<v Speaker 1>the six swing states that exist right now in this

1:15:36.760 --> 1:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Senate race are are Florida, which is absolutely a coin flip,

1:15:41.920 --> 1:15:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Missouri Claire mccaskell's in big trouble there. Indiana, uh is

1:15:46.520 --> 1:15:49.400
<v Speaker 1>also Joe Donnelly, Democrat incumbent, is in big trouble there

1:15:49.400 --> 1:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>against Braun uh Nevada, hell are the incumbent looks like

1:15:53.200 --> 1:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>he's in pretty good position. Arizona, which is a open seat,

1:15:57.080 --> 1:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>McCain's seat which is I'm sorry, flake seat which is

1:16:00.320 --> 1:16:05.799
<v Speaker 1>uh Mark McSally established congresswoman, and Christen Cinema also a Democrat,

1:16:05.840 --> 1:16:09.599
<v Speaker 1>established congresswoman. Uh And Cinema has been sort of digging

1:16:09.600 --> 1:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>her own grave with the historical act of leftist activism

1:16:12.439 --> 1:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>she's been engaged in. Uh. They're digging up all these

1:16:14.880 --> 1:16:17.280
<v Speaker 1>videos of her saying things like, you know, she can

1:16:17.320 --> 1:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>empathize with the Taliban. Uh and you know, fighting America,

1:16:20.439 --> 1:16:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you know how it is, okay? And Jeff calls Arizona

1:16:24.080 --> 1:16:27.599
<v Speaker 1>the meth lab of democracy. Uh. So there's all these

1:16:27.640 --> 1:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>seats look like and Montana was the other one, all

1:16:30.160 --> 1:16:31.760
<v Speaker 1>look like we can pick them up. But the ones

1:16:31.800 --> 1:16:36.000
<v Speaker 1>that nobody's talking about are ones that are lean Democrat,

1:16:36.040 --> 1:16:38.880
<v Speaker 1>are firmly Democrat according to the establishment posters. And that's

1:16:39.120 --> 1:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>seats like West Virginia and Joe Mansion are Michigan Debbie Stabin. Now, Uh,

1:16:44.160 --> 1:16:46.799
<v Speaker 1>there's a great candidate, John James who's coming on strong.

1:16:46.840 --> 1:16:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump is going to to campaign for him. Uh this weekend.

1:16:50.720 --> 1:16:54.799
<v Speaker 1>Wisconsin Tammy Baldwin also vulnerable Wisconsin, remember went for Trump,

1:16:54.840 --> 1:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>which was a big surprise. Hillary Clinton didn't campaign there

1:16:57.600 --> 1:16:59.519
<v Speaker 1>and Trump did something brilliant, which was in the last

1:16:59.560 --> 1:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>couple of day he went to Minneapolis. Uh. And that's

1:17:02.200 --> 1:17:05.800
<v Speaker 1>a media market that impacts western Wisconsin and northern Wisconsin.

1:17:05.840 --> 1:17:08.280
<v Speaker 1>To lose Minnesota as well. So I mean, these these

1:17:08.280 --> 1:17:11.080
<v Speaker 1>permutations could get us to fifty seven fifty fifty nine

1:17:11.080 --> 1:17:14.200
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate. Minnesota as well has a special election.

1:17:14.800 --> 1:17:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Al Franken resigned for that. He had his me to

1:17:17.520 --> 1:17:21.719
<v Speaker 1>moment and the appointee was Tina Smith, who was lieutenant

1:17:21.760 --> 1:17:25.120
<v Speaker 1>governor and she's running to keep the seat against a

1:17:25.320 --> 1:17:27.880
<v Speaker 1>state Senator, Karen Houseley. And this is fifty fifty and

1:17:27.920 --> 1:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>nobody's talking about this. And if you if your listeners,

1:17:31.040 --> 1:17:34.479
<v Speaker 1>recall Al Franken only won the seat from Norm Coleman

1:17:34.880 --> 1:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>uh in because there was a recount and they were

1:17:38.240 --> 1:17:42.200
<v Speaker 1>able to get the felon vote in thy Felons were

1:17:42.240 --> 1:17:45.439
<v Speaker 1>counted in the Minneapolis Democratic machine in Hennepin County and

1:17:45.439 --> 1:17:48.160
<v Speaker 1>we're able to swing that election. It was a multi

1:17:48.160 --> 1:17:51.439
<v Speaker 1>month recount and that seat was stolen. So Minnesota is

1:17:51.560 --> 1:17:53.920
<v Speaker 1>really really interesting because it looks like it could be

1:17:53.920 --> 1:17:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a new Ohio as well, and go from a progressive bastion,

1:17:57.680 --> 1:18:01.200
<v Speaker 1>which it was like Wisconsin historically for sixty seven years

1:18:01.520 --> 1:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>along with Michigan the heart of Union progressivism, and now

1:18:05.840 --> 1:18:07.760
<v Speaker 1>it looks like it could, uh, it could start to

1:18:07.800 --> 1:18:11.320
<v Speaker 1>be a Republican Minnesota eight is uh is in the

1:18:11.360 --> 1:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>northeastern part of the state, and that one, the Republican stalver,

1:18:15.360 --> 1:18:18.040
<v Speaker 1>has a commanding lead. Uh So that one looks like

1:18:18.080 --> 1:18:21.320
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna flip. Minnesota seven. Nobody's talking about that's been

1:18:21.360 --> 1:18:24.320
<v Speaker 1>held by a Democrat for thirty years as the Democrat.

1:18:24.400 --> 1:18:26.720
<v Speaker 1>That's sort of an old school Democrat, blue dog Democrat,

1:18:26.920 --> 1:18:29.679
<v Speaker 1>member of both the Democratic Party and the Democratic farmer

1:18:29.760 --> 1:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Labor Party, which is sort of historical anomaly that exists

1:18:33.120 --> 1:18:36.840
<v Speaker 1>in Minnesota, which is as it sounds, farmer labor and

1:18:36.920 --> 1:18:39.839
<v Speaker 1>so this on Peterson has been there for for decades

1:18:40.360 --> 1:18:43.559
<v Speaker 1>and he has in the last three races watched his

1:18:43.560 --> 1:18:47.120
<v Speaker 1>his his spread positive spread over Republican challengers go from

1:18:47.120 --> 1:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>plus six or seven to plus three or four to

1:18:49.560 --> 1:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>less than plus one. Last single against the guy opposing him, now,

1:18:52.800 --> 1:18:55.880
<v Speaker 1>David Hughes, who at that point was a nobody. Nobody

1:18:55.920 --> 1:18:58.479
<v Speaker 1>knew him. He was a twenty one year career US

1:18:58.560 --> 1:19:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Air Force vet who had gone into private contracting as

1:19:01.240 --> 1:19:03.800
<v Speaker 1>a drone instructor and is very very strong on the

1:19:03.800 --> 1:19:06.880
<v Speaker 1>border issues. This is what his private sector background was

1:19:07.000 --> 1:19:10.080
<v Speaker 1>is in drone instruction to monitor the southern and the

1:19:10.120 --> 1:19:12.560
<v Speaker 1>northern border, and he's coming on strong. I spoke to

1:19:12.640 --> 1:19:15.439
<v Speaker 1>somebody on the ground there who estimated at the yard

1:19:15.479 --> 1:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>signs in the district in Minnesota seven are four to

1:19:18.400 --> 1:19:22.840
<v Speaker 1>five to one, uh, Hughes versus Peterson. So that's one

1:19:22.880 --> 1:19:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that nobody's talking about that I think is gonna flip. Uh.

1:19:25.439 --> 1:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>There are certainly something that up that the machine media

1:19:29.120 --> 1:19:33.680
<v Speaker 1>machine has written off as Republican flip to Democrats like

1:19:33.720 --> 1:19:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Iowa one Rod Bloom, I don't think that one is

1:19:36.240 --> 1:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>ten to one as as they're suggesting. You know, whenever

1:19:39.200 --> 1:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I see Nate Silver say that Republicans have a one

1:19:41.720 --> 1:19:44.320
<v Speaker 1>in fifteen or one in twelve shot, I generally think

1:19:44.320 --> 1:19:46.040
<v Speaker 1>in history is born this out, it's more like one

1:19:46.040 --> 1:19:49.800
<v Speaker 1>in three or four, which if things turn out as

1:19:49.800 --> 1:19:51.680
<v Speaker 1>they are, we had a great economic number today with

1:19:51.760 --> 1:19:55.479
<v Speaker 1>jobs that having a dynamic over the last month. I

1:19:55.520 --> 1:19:58.920
<v Speaker 1>think these one in three or one in four scenarios,

1:19:59.000 --> 1:20:01.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them could break towards Republicans. I actually

1:20:01.600 --> 1:20:05.840
<v Speaker 1>think we keep the House and the net loss of

1:20:05.880 --> 1:20:09.360
<v Speaker 1>seats is five to ten. You know, we've got uh

1:20:09.400 --> 1:20:12.519
<v Speaker 1>and the media who's talking about the blue wave, Uh,

1:20:12.560 --> 1:20:15.200
<v Speaker 1>this doesn't exist. Trump today in West Virginia said if

1:20:15.240 --> 1:20:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you want a blue wave, you're voting for a crime wave,

1:20:17.439 --> 1:20:19.400
<v Speaker 1>which I thought was a great talking point given their

1:20:19.479 --> 1:20:23.120
<v Speaker 1>views on borders and policing in general, law enforcement, hawk

1:20:23.360 --> 1:20:27.200
<v Speaker 1>hawkishness on on the military and foreign policy. So there's

1:20:27.240 --> 1:20:29.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these seats that a lot of the

1:20:29.560 --> 1:20:32.519
<v Speaker 1>establishment posters and that's right end left, have kind of

1:20:32.520 --> 1:20:36.760
<v Speaker 1>written off. Maine. To Bruce poll Quin, the only Republican

1:20:36.840 --> 1:20:39.120
<v Speaker 1>in New England and all the New England states Vermont,

1:20:39.120 --> 1:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, RhoD Island. He's the only one.

1:20:42.160 --> 1:20:44.879
<v Speaker 1>He's in Maine two, which is also the largest physical

1:20:44.880 --> 1:20:47.639
<v Speaker 1>district in New England. It's all the way from where

1:20:47.680 --> 1:20:51.599
<v Speaker 1>the urban and sort of suburban main ends with Bangor

1:20:51.720 --> 1:20:54.439
<v Speaker 1>and uh and Rockport, all the way to Canada's this

1:20:54.600 --> 1:20:57.680
<v Speaker 1>massive district and it's rather poor. It's a lot of

1:20:57.680 --> 1:21:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Indian reservations. It's a lot of uh funked paper and

1:21:01.000 --> 1:21:03.960
<v Speaker 1>timber mills. And Bruce Polquin is a Republican on on

1:21:04.000 --> 1:21:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the ground there. It's all about god, guns and small government.

1:21:07.520 --> 1:21:10.280
<v Speaker 1>And he has been very strong for the district. He

1:21:10.960 --> 1:21:13.640
<v Speaker 1>is known all over Congress as somebody who really represents

1:21:13.680 --> 1:21:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the district. Uh. They put up a very good candidate,

1:21:16.360 --> 1:21:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Jared Golden, who was a former military and was actually

1:21:19.360 --> 1:21:22.320
<v Speaker 1>a Republican staffer for Susan Collins before going into the

1:21:22.880 --> 1:21:25.240
<v Speaker 1>State House as a Democrat and so on. Paper is

1:21:25.240 --> 1:21:27.200
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. But the more he campaigns, the more he

1:21:27.360 --> 1:21:30.639
<v Speaker 1>left he sounds, and leftist rhetoric doesn't win in Maine two,

1:21:30.680 --> 1:21:33.880
<v Speaker 1>which is Indian reservation country and very very strong on

1:21:33.880 --> 1:21:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the Second Amendment given its sort of hunting culture and

1:21:36.920 --> 1:21:40.120
<v Speaker 1>border in Canada, and let's see the wilderness. Let's just

1:21:40.200 --> 1:21:42.200
<v Speaker 1>let's just reset here for a moment, because it's a

1:21:42.200 --> 1:21:45.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of information for for people to take in. And

1:21:45.600 --> 1:21:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I know you're brain works a mile a minute in

1:21:48.080 --> 1:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>your mouth works even faster, Matthew. Let's let's just reset

1:21:51.320 --> 1:21:54.200
<v Speaker 1>with that. We're speaking to Matthew Timan. He's a obviously,

1:21:54.520 --> 1:21:57.879
<v Speaker 1>clearly from the last seven minutes, a pretty good analyst

1:21:57.960 --> 1:22:00.479
<v Speaker 1>on all of this sort of thing election and and

1:22:00.479 --> 1:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>and more. And Matthew, So you're pretty bullish, is what

1:22:03.840 --> 1:22:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you're saying. I mean, you're you're a lot of people

1:22:06.400 --> 1:22:09.439
<v Speaker 1>are hedging right now. A lot of people, especially behind

1:22:09.479 --> 1:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>closed doors, people I'm speaking to every day, is saying, look,

1:22:12.120 --> 1:22:14.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, we have to present a brave front to

1:22:14.640 --> 1:22:16.880
<v Speaker 1>this um. But the likelihood is we are going to

1:22:16.960 --> 1:22:18.880
<v Speaker 1>lose the House. You don't think it's that way at all.

1:22:19.960 --> 1:22:21.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's that way at all. I think

1:22:21.560 --> 1:22:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that certainly will lose a few seats in California due

1:22:23.880 --> 1:22:28.040
<v Speaker 1>to redistricting and retirements like Ed Royce, but that will

1:22:28.080 --> 1:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>be offset with some of this Upper Midwest Ross Belt

1:22:32.200 --> 1:22:36.200
<v Speaker 1>like Minnesota, A lot of the necessary pathway for the

1:22:36.240 --> 1:22:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Democrats to take the House is through places like Illinois,

1:22:39.840 --> 1:22:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, Illinois six suburbs suburbs of Chicago, Pete Roscom

1:22:43.800 --> 1:22:47.920
<v Speaker 1>is probably done. That area has transitioned to more Chicago's

1:22:47.960 --> 1:22:52.559
<v Speaker 1>city style politics, machine politics. But Illinois twelve, thirteen, and fourteen,

1:22:52.840 --> 1:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>two of which are in downstate south of St. Louis

1:22:55.240 --> 1:22:59.599
<v Speaker 1>Farm Country. Uh, Boston Davis's seat, those were Trump plus

1:23:00.040 --> 1:23:03.559
<v Speaker 1>fifteen and plus six, respectively. Those seats are fine. And

1:23:03.760 --> 1:23:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh Denny Hasterrit's old seat in Illinois fourteen that was

1:23:07.800 --> 1:23:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump plus four and hasn't really changed at all. The

1:23:10.920 --> 1:23:14.120
<v Speaker 1>incumbent Holts Grin should be fine. And the irony is

1:23:14.160 --> 1:23:17.080
<v Speaker 1>that the Dems are running with this marketing campaign. This

1:23:17.400 --> 1:23:20.120
<v Speaker 1>young lady who lives in her parents, her parents house,

1:23:20.120 --> 1:23:22.640
<v Speaker 1>she's thirty something, and it's had to market herself as

1:23:22.680 --> 1:23:25.880
<v Speaker 1>if she's a a nurse and nose healthcare and she's

1:23:25.920 --> 1:23:28.200
<v Speaker 1>seven months out of graduation and never really worked in

1:23:28.200 --> 1:23:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a clinical setting. So it's all kind of fluffy noise.

1:23:31.840 --> 1:23:33.559
<v Speaker 1>And uh, I don't think they're gonna pick up these

1:23:33.560 --> 1:23:36.679
<v Speaker 1>seats that's necessary for them to do in New York State,

1:23:36.960 --> 1:23:40.000
<v Speaker 1>which is obviously you know, democratic governor to democratic senators.

1:23:40.600 --> 1:23:42.679
<v Speaker 1>What you see a lot of is something we've talked

1:23:42.680 --> 1:23:45.120
<v Speaker 1>in the past, given that your British political background is

1:23:45.120 --> 1:23:47.559
<v Speaker 1>a Tory factor, is to see a lot of polling

1:23:48.080 --> 1:23:50.640
<v Speaker 1>where people won't admit that they're going to vote for

1:23:50.640 --> 1:23:52.920
<v Speaker 1>the Republican And so New York twenty two is a

1:23:52.920 --> 1:23:54.880
<v Speaker 1>great example. It's sort of the center of the state,

1:23:54.960 --> 1:23:57.760
<v Speaker 1>north of Albany all the way to Canada. Souquite a

1:23:57.840 --> 1:24:00.639
<v Speaker 1>tenny and that was a Trump plus fifteen and also

1:24:00.760 --> 1:24:03.519
<v Speaker 1>wrongly plus almost one, and so it's pulling within the

1:24:03.560 --> 1:24:05.639
<v Speaker 1>margin of error in the northeast. So I think Torri

1:24:05.760 --> 1:24:07.880
<v Speaker 1>factor has this within the margin of error. But I

1:24:07.880 --> 1:24:10.800
<v Speaker 1>think this is solid Trump country. Uh, there is a

1:24:10.880 --> 1:24:12.439
<v Speaker 1>certainly going to be a loss I think in New

1:24:12.479 --> 1:24:15.640
<v Speaker 1>York nineteen, which is John Fazio's feat that's north of

1:24:15.680 --> 1:24:19.400
<v Speaker 1>New York City. I wish, I honestly, I wish we

1:24:19.439 --> 1:24:22.200
<v Speaker 1>could have all of this uh laid out, but we are.

1:24:22.280 --> 1:24:25.400
<v Speaker 1>We are tied on time. UM So so your your

1:24:25.439 --> 1:24:28.960
<v Speaker 1>predictions are gain in the Senate and don't lose the House.

1:24:30.240 --> 1:24:32.800
<v Speaker 1>We could gain up to fifty eight even fifty nine

1:24:32.800 --> 1:24:34.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate and we'll keep the House with the

1:24:34.880 --> 1:24:38.280
<v Speaker 1>margin of ten to fifteen is my call, and I'm

1:24:38.439 --> 1:24:40.559
<v Speaker 1>wrong an awful little bit in that will still be

1:24:40.600 --> 1:24:43.120
<v Speaker 1>fine in the House. I think that this is all uh,

1:24:43.160 --> 1:24:45.719
<v Speaker 1>sound and fury told by an idiot as the mainstream medium.

1:24:45.760 --> 1:24:49.080
<v Speaker 1>The establishment posters generally are wrong and push their agenda,

1:24:49.120 --> 1:24:51.880
<v Speaker 1>not the truth. But it does require people to go

1:24:51.920 --> 1:24:54.720
<v Speaker 1>out and vote, does it not? It does, And I

1:24:54.760 --> 1:24:57.200
<v Speaker 1>think that's also a big dynamic that's not captured by

1:24:57.200 --> 1:25:00.080
<v Speaker 1>the polls, which is we are way more motivated. And

1:25:00.120 --> 1:25:02.720
<v Speaker 1>for instance, the youth Democrat activists who the articles are

1:25:02.720 --> 1:25:04.959
<v Speaker 1>talking about couldn't figure out how to stamp an absentee

1:25:05.000 --> 1:25:07.240
<v Speaker 1>valve and send it. It's very easy for them to

1:25:07.280 --> 1:25:09.360
<v Speaker 1>talk about going, but when it's when it actually push

1:25:09.439 --> 1:25:11.560
<v Speaker 1>comes to shop. One more race that's really important and

1:25:11.840 --> 1:25:14.320
<v Speaker 1>has real national significance, as in New Jersey Senate race.

1:25:14.880 --> 1:25:17.559
<v Speaker 1>If it rains on Tuesday, which is actually looking like

1:25:17.600 --> 1:25:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the percentages of are going up, it might then be

1:25:20.920 --> 1:25:23.760
<v Speaker 1>walking around money that you get in Camden Newark e

1:25:23.840 --> 1:25:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Strange Patterson won't go as far, and I think Bob Huggan,

1:25:26.880 --> 1:25:30.400
<v Speaker 1>who's running a phenomenal campaign and phenomenal ad campaign against

1:25:30.479 --> 1:25:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Menendez who was invested for corruption. Uh, he's running a

1:25:33.360 --> 1:25:35.200
<v Speaker 1>thirty million dollar ad campaign. I live in New York.

1:25:35.479 --> 1:25:38.519
<v Speaker 1>We will we will definitely keep a close eye on

1:25:38.560 --> 1:25:40.280
<v Speaker 1>that one as well, Matthew. But we've got to leave

1:25:40.280 --> 1:25:42.640
<v Speaker 1>it there. Matthews, timan commentation and analyst, thank you so

1:25:42.720 --> 1:25:44.880
<v Speaker 1>much for joining us here on the Buck Sexton Show.

1:25:45.200 --> 1:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm raheem because some will be right back. With all

1:25:49.080 --> 1:25:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the recent news about online security breaches, it's hard not

<v Speaker 1>to worry about where my data goes. Making an online

1:27:18.000 --> 1:27:21.920
<v Speaker 1>by your questions. You know you are creating you And

1:27:22.000 --> 1:27:25.760
<v Speaker 1>also a lot of the reporters are creating violence by

1:27:25.800 --> 1:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>not writing the truth. The fake news is creating violence.

1:27:31.240 --> 1:27:34.479
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, the people that support Trump and

1:27:34.560 --> 1:27:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the people that support us, which is a lot of people,

1:27:37.760 --> 1:27:42.439
<v Speaker 1>most people, many people. Those people know what a story

1:27:42.560 --> 1:27:45.519
<v Speaker 1>is through and they know what a story is false.

1:27:45.560 --> 1:27:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And I'll tell you what, if the media would write

1:27:48.960 --> 1:27:52.880
<v Speaker 1>correctly and right accurately and right fairly, you'd have a

1:27:52.880 --> 1:27:55.880
<v Speaker 1>lot less violence in the country, does the Buck Sexton show.

1:27:55.880 --> 1:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm rhemasm. That was President Trump speaking today, pointing the

1:27:59.720 --> 1:28:04.080
<v Speaker 1>thing right back at what I like to call the

1:28:04.200 --> 1:28:08.120
<v Speaker 1>fake news industrial complex. We have heard, have we not

1:28:08.680 --> 1:28:12.439
<v Speaker 1>for several years now? Gosh, it feels like perhaps a

1:28:12.479 --> 1:28:15.639
<v Speaker 1>lot longer. We've heard for several years that the President

1:28:15.680 --> 1:28:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Trump and the deplorables, the MAGA supporters out there are

1:28:19.720 --> 1:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the ones behind all the violence out there. Right forget

1:28:23.400 --> 1:28:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the six hundred odd attacks on them over the course

1:28:28.400 --> 1:28:30.160
<v Speaker 1>of the last few years that I mentioned earlier on

1:28:30.160 --> 1:28:34.320
<v Speaker 1>in the show. No, the fingers always points squarely at

1:28:34.360 --> 1:28:37.759
<v Speaker 1>this president and his supporters. But he's turned the tables

1:28:37.800 --> 1:28:41.439
<v Speaker 1>on them yet again. I don't say how they didn't

1:28:41.439 --> 1:28:44.439
<v Speaker 1>see this coming. I mean, we're quite used to this

1:28:44.520 --> 1:28:48.599
<v Speaker 1>president being able to quite effectively shimmy his way out

1:28:48.600 --> 1:28:51.200
<v Speaker 1>of these sort of holes and boxes that they try

1:28:51.200 --> 1:28:54.639
<v Speaker 1>and try and put him in. But again they've they've

1:28:54.680 --> 1:28:58.719
<v Speaker 1>gone for it. Remember they they introduced the term fake

1:28:58.760 --> 1:29:01.360
<v Speaker 1>news to try and act President Trump. But now when

1:29:01.479 --> 1:29:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you think of fake news as a term, I mean

1:29:03.840 --> 1:29:06.519
<v Speaker 1>in England, it has become synonymous with the BBC, and

1:29:06.520 --> 1:29:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I would argue that a lot of people's minds jumped

1:29:09.439 --> 1:29:13.799
<v Speaker 1>to CNN when they hear that term. So so President

1:29:13.800 --> 1:29:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump employing his oft proven tactic of turning the situation

1:29:19.400 --> 1:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>back on the establishment here saying no, actually, it's fake

1:29:24.200 --> 1:29:27.960
<v Speaker 1>reporting that is causing a lot of the consternation which

1:29:28.040 --> 1:29:31.640
<v Speaker 1>leads to violence in the United States. I happen to

1:29:31.800 --> 1:29:35.760
<v Speaker 1>quite agree. And it's not just through this administration. It's

1:29:35.800 --> 1:29:38.960
<v Speaker 1>been around for a very long time. You know, fake

1:29:39.080 --> 1:29:43.439
<v Speaker 1>news is nothing new. Fake news started with the advent

1:29:43.479 --> 1:29:45.920
<v Speaker 1>of news. I mean here in Washington, d C. There

1:29:46.000 --> 1:29:47.880
<v Speaker 1>is a there is a museum that I commend to

1:29:47.960 --> 1:29:52.080
<v Speaker 1>everyone called the Museum. Now there's a lot of anti

1:29:52.120 --> 1:29:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump stuff in that in that museum, but what it

1:29:55.040 --> 1:29:57.479
<v Speaker 1>will do is it will show you how. You know,

1:29:57.960 --> 1:30:01.599
<v Speaker 1>news started as pamphleteering politics called pamphlet hearing, so people

1:30:01.640 --> 1:30:04.280
<v Speaker 1>would make things up. They would naturally make things up

1:30:04.360 --> 1:30:08.559
<v Speaker 1>or portray opponents in a bad light. News organizations and

1:30:08.600 --> 1:30:13.120
<v Speaker 1>pamphlets and magazines were owned by political figures who use

1:30:13.240 --> 1:30:16.000
<v Speaker 1>them and indeed, in your founding of your country, use

1:30:16.080 --> 1:30:18.639
<v Speaker 1>them to smear one another, use them to do each

1:30:18.680 --> 1:30:22.519
<v Speaker 1>other down. The idea of neutrality um in the new

1:30:22.600 --> 1:30:26.000
<v Speaker 1>sphere really only came along at the same time as

1:30:26.040 --> 1:30:29.839
<v Speaker 1>sort of hu Kayama's end of history theory was becoming

1:30:30.720 --> 1:30:32.880
<v Speaker 1>ingrained in the minds of of of the elite, the

1:30:32.880 --> 1:30:36.200
<v Speaker 1>people who had the reins of power. They thought, hey,

1:30:36.240 --> 1:30:39.519
<v Speaker 1>look this is how the world is now, open trade,

1:30:39.600 --> 1:30:44.880
<v Speaker 1>open borders, you know, multiculturalism, the diversity doctrines, so and

1:30:45.040 --> 1:30:47.439
<v Speaker 1>so forth. And along with that came, you know, the

1:30:47.640 --> 1:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>end of the end of of of the idea of

1:30:51.000 --> 1:30:54.280
<v Speaker 1>a back and forth that people, ordinary people could make

1:30:54.280 --> 1:30:57.240
<v Speaker 1>their own minds up as to what they were being presented. Right.

1:30:57.320 --> 1:30:59.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't come on here on this radio show today

1:30:59.640 --> 1:31:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and say I am a neutral arbiter of the news.

1:31:02.760 --> 1:31:05.599
<v Speaker 1>I have no dog in any fight. It's a nonsense.

1:31:05.640 --> 1:31:07.639
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't exist. It would be asking us to put

1:31:07.680 --> 1:31:11.599
<v Speaker 1>our very a very core, a very spirit, as as

1:31:11.680 --> 1:31:15.000
<v Speaker 1>human beings, to a side, which I would argue is impossible.

1:31:15.320 --> 1:31:17.840
<v Speaker 1>And and you know, I can say that over the

1:31:17.840 --> 1:31:21.360
<v Speaker 1>course of four or five minutes. But President Trump has

1:31:21.400 --> 1:31:24.479
<v Speaker 1>this magnificent way of just boiling it down to just

1:31:24.520 --> 1:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of sentences and he says, no, you know

1:31:26.720 --> 1:31:30.160
<v Speaker 1>what you're creating violence. By your questions, the fake news

1:31:30.240 --> 1:31:33.840
<v Speaker 1>is creating violence. And had it not been for the

1:31:33.880 --> 1:31:37.120
<v Speaker 1>fact that all of these guys and girls out there

1:31:37.720 --> 1:31:41.360
<v Speaker 1>had portrayed themselves for so long as neutral arbiters of

1:31:41.360 --> 1:31:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the news and we sort of went along with it,

1:31:43.120 --> 1:31:45.760
<v Speaker 1>right then we wouldn't have found ourselves in this situation.

1:31:46.200 --> 1:31:49.040
<v Speaker 1>But now people realize that they're being lied to. And

1:31:49.080 --> 1:31:52.680
<v Speaker 1>now people realize that some of the things that we

1:31:52.680 --> 1:31:55.600
<v Speaker 1>were told, whether it was about the economy or the

1:31:55.600 --> 1:31:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Iraq War or so and and so forth, that we

1:31:58.000 --> 1:32:02.080
<v Speaker 1>were being sold pubs, we were being sold eyes. Welcome

1:32:02.080 --> 1:32:04.599
<v Speaker 1>back to the buck Sexton Show. I'm Raheem Causam joining

1:32:04.640 --> 1:32:06.559
<v Speaker 1>me now on the line as the president of the

1:32:06.600 --> 1:32:09.679
<v Speaker 1>Clairemont Institute, and full disclosure, I am a Claimont Institute

1:32:09.680 --> 1:32:12.760
<v Speaker 1>at Lincoln Fellow. I can't speak highly enough about the

1:32:12.800 --> 1:32:15.599
<v Speaker 1>Claimont Institute. So I'm delighted to have Ryan Williams joining

1:32:15.680 --> 1:32:19.840
<v Speaker 1>us now, not least because Ryan was instrumental in a

1:32:19.840 --> 1:32:23.120
<v Speaker 1>a new article going up on a Claremont Institute website,

1:32:23.120 --> 1:32:26.280
<v Speaker 1>American Mind dot org. I suggest you all take a

1:32:26.280 --> 1:32:29.840
<v Speaker 1>look at this slightly spicy I think it's called Our

1:32:30.000 --> 1:32:36.640
<v Speaker 1>House Divided Multiculturalism Versus America by Thomas D. Klingenstein and

1:32:36.720 --> 1:32:40.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a fascinating article. Ryan, thanks for joining us to

1:32:39.880 --> 1:32:42.880
<v Speaker 1>to discuss this. UM. I guess, I guess there's always

1:32:42.920 --> 1:32:46.880
<v Speaker 1>trepidation when UM, when publishing something like this, especially you know,

1:32:46.920 --> 1:32:50.920
<v Speaker 1>in August institution like the Clairemont Institute wading into into

1:32:50.960 --> 1:32:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the debate surrounding multiculturalism. I mean, I personally don't have

1:32:54.120 --> 1:32:56.280
<v Speaker 1>an issue doing it myself, but you know what kind

1:32:56.280 --> 1:32:59.719
<v Speaker 1>of rocks get thrown by the establishment media when something

1:32:59.760 --> 1:33:02.479
<v Speaker 1>like happened. So just like, let's let's talk through this

1:33:02.600 --> 1:33:05.640
<v Speaker 1>article a little bit. Let's talk about it's it's um,

1:33:05.680 --> 1:33:10.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a prognosis over multiculturalism, and then and then perhaps

1:33:11.000 --> 1:33:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you can talk us through a little bit of the

1:33:12.280 --> 1:33:17.000
<v Speaker 1>thought process behind this. Sure, yeah, thanks for having me. Raheim. Well,

1:33:17.200 --> 1:33:19.799
<v Speaker 1>Tom kling has seen as a full disclosure a Claremont's

1:33:19.800 --> 1:33:22.519
<v Speaker 1>board chairman, which of course is into his byeline, but

1:33:23.560 --> 1:33:26.599
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to update this term multiculturalism, which a lot

1:33:26.600 --> 1:33:29.680
<v Speaker 1>of us probably hadn't heard since the nineties, uh, and

1:33:29.800 --> 1:33:34.160
<v Speaker 1>tie it to identity politics and political correctness and really

1:33:34.240 --> 1:33:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to to lay the blame for um for the some

1:33:37.800 --> 1:33:41.519
<v Speaker 1>of our pathologies and our identity politics pathologies, and our

1:33:41.560 --> 1:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>current political pathologies at the feet of the Academy and

1:33:44.840 --> 1:33:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the project that it's been I've been going about for

1:33:48.040 --> 1:33:52.519
<v Speaker 1>the last fifty years. It's pretty Um, it's it's pretty

1:33:52.520 --> 1:33:54.519
<v Speaker 1>in depth. I mean, it doesn't it doesn't pull any

1:33:54.520 --> 1:33:57.200
<v Speaker 1>punches here. I mean, you know, looking at looking at

1:33:57.240 --> 1:34:01.280
<v Speaker 1>both the establishments perspective on aliculturalism as well as the

1:34:01.360 --> 1:34:04.519
<v Speaker 1>rights perspective on multiculturalism. Um, what do you think that

1:34:04.640 --> 1:34:09.599
<v Speaker 1>the key takeaways from from dus King and Stina, Well,

1:34:09.640 --> 1:34:12.160
<v Speaker 1>his his one of his his lead point was really

1:34:12.200 --> 1:34:15.479
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of conservatives didn't understand what Trump was doing.

1:34:16.080 --> 1:34:19.360
<v Speaker 1>H And he draws the provocative analogy between Trump and Lincoln,

1:34:19.439 --> 1:34:22.200
<v Speaker 1>And his point is that, you know, in the slavery

1:34:22.200 --> 1:34:25.360
<v Speaker 1>crisis in the eighteen fifties, Lincoln oriented his whole political

1:34:25.439 --> 1:34:29.200
<v Speaker 1>project around getting rid of slavery and making sure that

1:34:29.280 --> 1:34:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the principle that it was right didn't spread, which was

1:34:32.160 --> 1:34:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the principle of the South, and that all the means

1:34:35.960 --> 1:34:38.559
<v Speaker 1>that we're at his disposal were in pursuit of that goal.

1:34:38.720 --> 1:34:42.720
<v Speaker 1>So Tom's analogy is to try to unite conservatives these

1:34:42.800 --> 1:34:46.120
<v Speaker 1>days behind Trump because he gets one thing right, at

1:34:46.200 --> 1:34:49.040
<v Speaker 1>least at the very least, and that's the insanity of

1:34:49.040 --> 1:34:53.120
<v Speaker 1>political correctness and its tyrannical nature. So Tom Tom thinks

1:34:53.160 --> 1:34:55.679
<v Speaker 1>that we ought to keep that in view, and uh,

1:34:55.800 --> 1:34:59.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, that ought to orient us and and put

1:34:59.720 --> 1:35:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump than context and put the larger project of what

1:35:02.840 --> 1:35:05.519
<v Speaker 1>should be the larger project of conservatism these days, UM

1:35:06.080 --> 1:35:09.160
<v Speaker 1>within focus. So it might mean a set of policy

1:35:09.200 --> 1:35:12.640
<v Speaker 1>priorities that that Conservative inc. Is not used to. It

1:35:12.760 --> 1:35:16.000
<v Speaker 1>might mean allowing behind a man that they're uncomfortable with, UM,

1:35:16.040 --> 1:35:19.280
<v Speaker 1>but the main goal should be kept in sight because really,

1:35:19.560 --> 1:35:23.200
<v Speaker 1>if we allow multiculturalism and identity politics to become the

1:35:23.240 --> 1:35:25.960
<v Speaker 1>dominant way of thinking in American national political life, than

1:35:26.040 --> 1:35:28.479
<v Speaker 1>the game's up. Yeah, I'm just gonna quote from this

1:35:28.600 --> 1:35:30.200
<v Speaker 1>article a little bit and then and then we'll come

1:35:30.200 --> 1:35:33.320
<v Speaker 1>back and discuss more of it. Um quote. Trump's entire

1:35:33.360 --> 1:35:36.360
<v Speaker 1>campaign was a defensive America. The election was fought not

1:35:36.479 --> 1:35:40.479
<v Speaker 1>so much over policies, character, email service, or James Comey

1:35:40.600 --> 1:35:42.960
<v Speaker 1>as it was over the meaning of America. Trump's wall

1:35:43.080 --> 1:35:45.559
<v Speaker 1>was not so much about keeping foreigners out as it

1:35:45.680 --> 1:35:50.080
<v Speaker 1>was keeping a commitment to a distinctive country, immigration, free trade,

1:35:50.120 --> 1:35:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and foreign policy, what about protecting our own in these policies?

1:35:54.120 --> 1:35:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Trump was raising the question who are we as a nation?

1:35:57.000 --> 1:36:00.240
<v Speaker 1>He answered by being Trump a man made in America, unmistakeably,

1:36:00.400 --> 1:36:03.839
<v Speaker 1>an unapologetically American, and like most of his fellow citizens,

1:36:03.840 --> 1:36:06.680
<v Speaker 1>one who does not give a hoot what's Europeans or

1:36:06.760 --> 1:36:11.040
<v Speaker 1>intellectuals think. And I picked that. I picked that paragraph

1:36:11.120 --> 1:36:13.000
<v Speaker 1>or purpose because not only do I hold one might

1:36:13.080 --> 1:36:18.040
<v Speaker 1>argue that I am a European intellectual, right, yeah, we

1:36:18.120 --> 1:36:20.760
<v Speaker 1>give you a pastory him, you're our favorite European intellectual.

1:36:22.120 --> 1:36:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's that's that that makes it pretty

1:36:24.080 --> 1:36:26.559
<v Speaker 1>clear cut. And and I suppose maybe we can reflect

1:36:26.600 --> 1:36:30.479
<v Speaker 1>on on the impending midterm elections using that as well.

1:36:30.520 --> 1:36:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when you've looked at this um and and

1:36:33.439 --> 1:36:36.400
<v Speaker 1>you're typically out in in California, right, when you've looked

1:36:36.439 --> 1:36:39.519
<v Speaker 1>at the last couple of months of campaigning, whether it's

1:36:39.560 --> 1:36:43.320
<v Speaker 1>been Abanati and Stormy Daniels, whether it's been Breck Havanah,

1:36:43.320 --> 1:36:46.160
<v Speaker 1>whether it's been migrant caravans, it all seems to be

1:36:46.200 --> 1:36:48.639
<v Speaker 1>coming back to what Tom and Thomas Flingstein has written

1:36:48.640 --> 1:36:51.200
<v Speaker 1>in this article right what it means to be America,

1:36:51.560 --> 1:36:55.000
<v Speaker 1>What what America not just allows, but what also what

1:36:55.080 --> 1:36:59.320
<v Speaker 1>it tolerates and does it really tolerate having its commander

1:36:59.320 --> 1:37:02.920
<v Speaker 1>in chief, um, you know, having his genitalia brought up

1:37:02.960 --> 1:37:06.599
<v Speaker 1>in in news articles, having you know, blow up dolls

1:37:06.640 --> 1:37:08.919
<v Speaker 1>of him like dressed as a rat. Now, it tolerates

1:37:08.960 --> 1:37:11.000
<v Speaker 1>it in the sense of freedom of speech and freedom

1:37:11.040 --> 1:37:14.960
<v Speaker 1>of expression. But I think, to borrow the website name

1:37:15.000 --> 1:37:18.360
<v Speaker 1>of yours, I think the American mind rejects that, right.

1:37:18.400 --> 1:37:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I think they don't see it as fair play. They

1:37:20.120 --> 1:37:23.080
<v Speaker 1>don't see it as fair game. Whereas the whereas the

1:37:23.120 --> 1:37:27.200
<v Speaker 1>presidential campaign, as as this article suggests, uh, you know,

1:37:27.240 --> 1:37:28.720
<v Speaker 1>it did come down to and I said at the

1:37:28.760 --> 1:37:32.000
<v Speaker 1>beginning of this radio show today, I quoted Lincoln in

1:37:32.000 --> 1:37:34.800
<v Speaker 1>in defense of of this president, which is why I

1:37:34.800 --> 1:37:37.080
<v Speaker 1>wanted to have you on. It comes down to what,

1:37:37.760 --> 1:37:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, what this country looks like. And I think

1:37:40.040 --> 1:37:42.400
<v Speaker 1>that's why, of course the migrant caravan issue is is

1:37:43.840 --> 1:37:47.280
<v Speaker 1>looming so large as an issue, right, yeah, yeah, I

1:37:47.320 --> 1:37:50.640
<v Speaker 1>think so. Um, you know, Trump's critics, the criticism of

1:37:50.640 --> 1:37:54.360
<v Speaker 1>a migrant caravan, or criticism of foreigners who might not

1:37:54.400 --> 1:37:57.800
<v Speaker 1>be suitable for Republican government as simply racist or white

1:37:57.880 --> 1:38:02.360
<v Speaker 1>nationalists or other some other uh at hominum attack. Whereas

1:38:02.400 --> 1:38:04.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, Clink Tom likes to point out in the article,

1:38:04.840 --> 1:38:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and I think you can fide it in many of

1:38:06.720 --> 1:38:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Trump's speeches as well, that what we're really talking about

1:38:10.400 --> 1:38:14.720
<v Speaker 1>is a common citizenry sharing with shared borders, which has

1:38:14.760 --> 1:38:18.120
<v Speaker 1>every right to determine the wh who new citizens ought

1:38:18.160 --> 1:38:21.320
<v Speaker 1>to be and the criteria for admitting um people who

1:38:21.400 --> 1:38:23.800
<v Speaker 1>want to join this political community. So in that sense,

1:38:23.840 --> 1:38:26.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's thoroughly American and goes back all the way

1:38:26.760 --> 1:38:30.160
<v Speaker 1>to our theory of constitutionalism and declaration and the idea

1:38:30.200 --> 1:38:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that we all consent together to form a government that

1:38:32.160 --> 1:38:36.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have anything to do with whiteness or or the

1:38:36.120 --> 1:38:42.400
<v Speaker 1>nastier strains of of modern nationalist politics of the European variety. Now,

1:38:42.400 --> 1:38:45.320
<v Speaker 1>you guys are no strangers to publishing controversial articles. In

1:38:45.400 --> 1:38:49.160
<v Speaker 1>September of twent sixteen, you published a Michael Anton essay

1:38:49.160 --> 1:38:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the Flight ninety three election. I just want to quote

1:38:51.200 --> 1:38:53.879
<v Speaker 1>from that because it was really one of those pressian

1:38:54.040 --> 1:38:56.880
<v Speaker 1>articles that left an indelible mark on on me and

1:38:56.920 --> 1:38:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I think the the American intellectual mind that was trying

1:38:59.880 --> 1:39:02.519
<v Speaker 1>to analyze what was going on there. I quote from

1:39:02.800 --> 1:39:06.080
<v Speaker 1>from Michael Anton, who who wrote UM at the time

1:39:06.160 --> 1:39:09.120
<v Speaker 1>under a pseudonym um and went on to serve on

1:39:09.160 --> 1:39:12.479
<v Speaker 1>the National Security Council. He said in the opening of

1:39:12.520 --> 1:39:15.439
<v Speaker 1>this article, six is a flight ninety three election. Charge

1:39:15.520 --> 1:39:18.439
<v Speaker 1>the cockpit or you die. You may die anyway. You're

1:39:18.439 --> 1:39:20.439
<v Speaker 1>the leader of your party. May make it into the

1:39:20.479 --> 1:39:22.800
<v Speaker 1>cockpit and not know how to fly or land the plane.

1:39:22.800 --> 1:39:26.040
<v Speaker 1>There are no guarantees except one. If you don't try,

1:39:26.240 --> 1:39:29.760
<v Speaker 1>death is certain to compound the metaphor. Hillary Clinton presidency

1:39:29.880 --> 1:39:33.000
<v Speaker 1>is Russian roulette with a semi auto. With Trump, at

1:39:33.080 --> 1:39:36.840
<v Speaker 1>least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances. Ryan,

1:39:37.160 --> 1:39:39.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, you guys, you guys are really putting the

1:39:39.479 --> 1:39:41.880
<v Speaker 1>putting the cat amongst the pigeons with this sort of thing. So,

1:39:41.880 --> 1:39:44.000
<v Speaker 1>so just talk us through. I mean, Claremont is a

1:39:44.120 --> 1:39:47.360
<v Speaker 1>is a fantastic institution of fantastic think tank UM and

1:39:47.360 --> 1:39:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and and comes up with I mean, I've got to

1:39:48.960 --> 1:39:51.000
<v Speaker 1>tell you some of their fellows and board members and

1:39:51.000 --> 1:39:52.519
<v Speaker 1>so and so forth. I mean, one of my favorites

1:39:52.560 --> 1:39:55.599
<v Speaker 1>being Professor John Marini, who I believe has a book

1:39:55.640 --> 1:39:58.639
<v Speaker 1>coming out shortly about the administrative state, which I'm sort

1:39:58.640 --> 1:40:01.640
<v Speaker 1>of obsessed by um. But but but when you do

1:40:01.720 --> 1:40:03.200
<v Speaker 1>these things, I mean, do you sort of bulked? Do

1:40:03.280 --> 1:40:05.120
<v Speaker 1>you think, oh, you know, we're going to be attacked

1:40:05.120 --> 1:40:07.680
<v Speaker 1>by you know, the Weekly Standard or National Review or

1:40:07.720 --> 1:40:13.080
<v Speaker 1>something like you said, conservative ink is gonna round on us. Yeah,

1:40:13.120 --> 1:40:15.800
<v Speaker 1>that's always a concern, of course. But you know, I

1:40:15.840 --> 1:40:19.240
<v Speaker 1>think there's a lot of us have realized, Um, you know,

1:40:19.320 --> 1:40:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump is a symptom, not a cause of the scrambling

1:40:22.560 --> 1:40:25.320
<v Speaker 1>of our modern Postcold War politics. I think this was

1:40:25.400 --> 1:40:29.040
<v Speaker 1>a and um, you know, the fusionism that emerged that

1:40:29.200 --> 1:40:33.360
<v Speaker 1>sustained conservatism through the mid century and beyond had kind

1:40:33.360 --> 1:40:36.080
<v Speaker 1>of stopped making sense in the post Cold War world.

1:40:36.439 --> 1:40:39.920
<v Speaker 1>So this, this um disintermediation to use a fancy word

1:40:39.920 --> 1:40:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that Matt Cotton that he has used before. Um, you know,

1:40:42.840 --> 1:40:44.720
<v Speaker 1>it was inevitable and we're just trying to think our

1:40:44.760 --> 1:40:48.080
<v Speaker 1>way through it at times. You know, the body politics

1:40:48.160 --> 1:40:50.920
<v Speaker 1>needs a little bit of shocking climics rather than just

1:40:51.000 --> 1:40:54.320
<v Speaker 1>another scholarly book. So when the time calls for it,

1:40:54.360 --> 1:40:57.719
<v Speaker 1>we we thought it was it was prudent to pursue

1:40:57.840 --> 1:41:04.320
<v Speaker 1>a little more of a hot take. Spicy absolutely well,

1:41:04.320 --> 1:41:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I honestly Ryan, I really appreciate it, and I really

1:41:07.280 --> 1:41:10.320
<v Speaker 1>appreciate the the American Mind dot Org. It's a it's

1:41:10.360 --> 1:41:13.599
<v Speaker 1>a relatively new publication that you guys have started out

1:41:13.600 --> 1:41:17.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Claimont Institute, and it's got just some fantastic articles.

1:41:17.120 --> 1:41:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to have you on plug that and

1:41:19.439 --> 1:41:22.160
<v Speaker 1>thank you for all your efforts. I appreciate a human

1:41:22.240 --> 1:41:24.439
<v Speaker 1>I encourage everyone to check out, of course, our classic

1:41:24.439 --> 1:41:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Cleremont review books as well, which is absolutely getting better.

1:41:28.439 --> 1:41:30.519
<v Speaker 1>I must read. Ryan Williams, thank you so much for

1:41:30.600 --> 1:41:32.040
<v Speaker 1>joining us here on the buck sext and show. The

1:41:32.040 --> 1:41:34.120
<v Speaker 1>website is American Mind dot org. Make sure you check

1:41:34.120 --> 1:41:37.760
<v Speaker 1>out the Claimont Institute. I'm Raheemicasum will be right back.

1:41:39.400 --> 1:41:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I keep trying to point out to people not to

1:41:41.200 --> 1:41:44.840
<v Speaker 1>demonize any one group or anyone ethnicity, but we keep

1:41:44.880 --> 1:41:48.080
<v Speaker 1>thinking that the biggest terror threat of something else, some

1:41:48.080 --> 1:41:50.519
<v Speaker 1>some some people who are marching, you know, towards the

1:41:50.560 --> 1:41:52.880
<v Speaker 1>border like it's imminent. And when the last time they

1:41:52.920 --> 1:41:55.679
<v Speaker 1>did this, a couple of hundred people came and they

1:41:56.120 --> 1:41:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, most of them did get into the country,

1:41:59.080 --> 1:42:01.439
<v Speaker 1>most of them tire, you know, got tuckered out before

1:42:01.439 --> 1:42:05.160
<v Speaker 1>they even made it to the border. Um, so we

1:42:05.240 --> 1:42:09.400
<v Speaker 1>have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror

1:42:09.400 --> 1:42:13.760
<v Speaker 1>threat in this country is white men, most of them

1:42:13.960 --> 1:42:17.000
<v Speaker 1>radicalized right up to the right, and we have to

1:42:17.000 --> 1:42:20.200
<v Speaker 1>start doing something about them. There is no travel ban

1:42:20.360 --> 1:42:23.080
<v Speaker 1>on them, There is no band on you know they

1:42:23.080 --> 1:42:25.320
<v Speaker 1>had the Muslim band, there is no white guy band.

1:42:25.680 --> 1:42:27.600
<v Speaker 1>So what do we do about that? We have to

1:42:27.760 --> 1:42:32.160
<v Speaker 1>stop demonizing people, CNN's Don Lemon says, before going on

1:42:32.240 --> 1:42:36.679
<v Speaker 1>to demonize an entire group of people, white people, white

1:42:36.720 --> 1:42:40.519
<v Speaker 1>men who are radicalized to the right. He says, no,

1:42:40.720 --> 1:42:46.280
<v Speaker 1>we shouldn't worry about thousands of unknown people flooding up

1:42:46.280 --> 1:42:49.120
<v Speaker 1>through Central America onto the US southern But what do

1:42:49.240 --> 1:42:55.000
<v Speaker 1>we should aim our specifically at white men? This despite

1:42:55.600 --> 1:43:00.200
<v Speaker 1>several hundred attacks on Trump supporters over the past couple

1:43:00.200 --> 1:43:05.400
<v Speaker 1>of years. This despite the fact that Antifa and a

1:43:05.439 --> 1:43:08.040
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of other left wing groups, by the way,

1:43:08.080 --> 1:43:12.439
<v Speaker 1>protesting all around the country as is their right, but

1:43:12.520 --> 1:43:16.639
<v Speaker 1>getting violent alongside it. Bike locks being thrown in people's faces,

1:43:16.840 --> 1:43:22.040
<v Speaker 1>cars being smashed. You see it almost every day now.

1:43:22.840 --> 1:43:27.200
<v Speaker 1>In fact, right now in Toronto there is a monk

1:43:27.320 --> 1:43:31.759
<v Speaker 1>debate going on between David from and Stephen K. Bannon,

1:43:31.800 --> 1:43:34.280
<v Speaker 1>who was on this show earlier and again six d

1:43:34.439 --> 1:43:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Odd protesters out there of the same violent left wing

1:43:39.280 --> 1:43:44.559
<v Speaker 1>ilk but never ever gets any attention. Well, I heard

1:43:44.600 --> 1:43:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Don Lemon say that, and I, for those of you

1:43:46.560 --> 1:43:47.840
<v Speaker 1>who don't know me, have a little bit of a

1:43:47.840 --> 1:43:51.680
<v Speaker 1>background in counter terrorism. You know, I was raised in

1:43:51.720 --> 1:43:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a Muslim family and and and turned my back on

1:43:54.240 --> 1:43:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Islam and turned my attention to what was going on

1:43:57.680 --> 1:44:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in the community that I was raised in. I went

1:44:01.040 --> 1:44:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to university in London in Westminster. Jahadi John, the Islamic

1:44:08.240 --> 1:44:12.040
<v Speaker 1>state executioner, was one year below me at that very

1:44:12.040 --> 1:44:18.479
<v Speaker 1>same university. I remember being peer pressured by students, fellow

1:44:18.600 --> 1:44:22.880
<v Speaker 1>students while I was at university who was saying, you know, brother,

1:44:23.680 --> 1:44:25.879
<v Speaker 1>you're not good Muslim unless you come to an Islamic

1:44:25.960 --> 1:44:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Society meeting. And they'd say it, and they'd prod me

1:44:28.960 --> 1:44:31.000
<v Speaker 1>in the chest and they'd corn on me after seminars,

1:44:32.280 --> 1:44:34.839
<v Speaker 1>and eventually I caved and I said, yes, certainly, I'll

1:44:35.080 --> 1:44:39.519
<v Speaker 1>come along to something. And I remember walking down to

1:44:39.640 --> 1:44:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that library building on Little Titchfield Street in London. I

1:44:45.280 --> 1:44:46.920
<v Speaker 1>was with my friend Richard and he said come to

1:44:46.920 --> 1:44:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the pub. I said, I've got a duck into this

1:44:48.479 --> 1:44:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Islamic Society meeting. I promised my colleagues I'd go. And

1:44:54.040 --> 1:44:56.360
<v Speaker 1>as I walked up the steps and Richard continued on

1:44:56.400 --> 1:44:59.040
<v Speaker 1>his way down to the pub, a couple of guys

1:44:59.080 --> 1:45:01.479
<v Speaker 1>came out of that is Society meeting. They stopped me

1:45:01.479 --> 1:45:03.840
<v Speaker 1>on the steps and they said, no, you don't want

1:45:03.840 --> 1:45:06.599
<v Speaker 1>to go in there. I said, why not? They said,

1:45:06.600 --> 1:45:09.040
<v Speaker 1>they're showing videos of nine eleven and clapping and cheering,

1:45:10.479 --> 1:45:12.639
<v Speaker 1>and I it was a pivotal moment for me, quite literally.

1:45:12.680 --> 1:45:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I turned on my heel and I called out to

1:45:15.200 --> 1:45:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Richard down the street. I said, Richard, he said, he

1:45:18.000 --> 1:45:21.719
<v Speaker 1>said what I said. I'm coming down the pub. And

1:45:22.120 --> 1:45:24.519
<v Speaker 1>when I tell that joke in public settings, I often

1:45:24.840 --> 1:45:27.000
<v Speaker 1>add on the phrase at the end and I never left.

1:45:28.040 --> 1:45:30.600
<v Speaker 1>But joke's a society, it's a you know, it's a

1:45:30.640 --> 1:45:34.160
<v Speaker 1>deeply serious situation when we have a news anchor like

1:45:34.240 --> 1:45:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Don Lemon denying the terror threat both from the left,

1:45:40.120 --> 1:45:41.920
<v Speaker 1>which is rampant in Europe as well as in the

1:45:42.000 --> 1:45:45.559
<v Speaker 1>United States, and from radical Islamic terrorism. You know, there's

1:45:45.600 --> 1:45:48.599
<v Speaker 1>a new report out by a place that I used

1:45:48.600 --> 1:45:51.600
<v Speaker 1>to work out in London called the Henry Jackson Society,

1:45:51.880 --> 1:45:56.000
<v Speaker 1>named after an old Democratic senator in fact, Scoop Jackson.

1:45:56.760 --> 1:46:00.400
<v Speaker 1>This report came out this week and what the reports

1:46:00.439 --> 1:46:03.519
<v Speaker 1>shows is that the greatest share of attacks continued to

1:46:03.600 --> 1:46:07.519
<v Speaker 1>be carried out by his Lamists in the West forty

1:46:07.560 --> 1:46:12.080
<v Speaker 1>eight point five of all attacks in the West or

1:46:12.120 --> 1:46:16.880
<v Speaker 1>his Lambist You know, the statistics around this a quite

1:46:16.880 --> 1:46:21.000
<v Speaker 1>extraordinary and it and it makes me wonder how someone

1:46:21.040 --> 1:46:22.800
<v Speaker 1>like Don Lemon can say what he says with a

1:46:22.840 --> 1:46:24.759
<v Speaker 1>straight face, but how he can also not be called

1:46:24.800 --> 1:46:27.000
<v Speaker 1>out on it by his colleagues. It was supposed to

1:46:27.040 --> 1:46:29.439
<v Speaker 1>be in pursuit of the truth, you know, of those

1:46:29.520 --> 1:46:34.680
<v Speaker 1>terror attacks. Henry Jackson's Society report says is limister responsible

1:46:35.560 --> 1:46:40.320
<v Speaker 1>for eighty four point two seven percent of killings and

1:46:40.439 --> 1:46:47.720
<v Speaker 1>injuries in the West eighty four point to seven last year.

1:46:48.200 --> 1:46:51.839
<v Speaker 1>And Don Lemon wants to demonize white men who support

1:46:53.120 --> 1:47:01.200
<v Speaker 1>conservatism or President Trump. You know, the the extraordinary thing

1:47:01.200 --> 1:47:04.400
<v Speaker 1>about this to me is not just what President Trump

1:47:04.439 --> 1:47:07.960
<v Speaker 1>relayed earlier on today when he said, actually fake news

1:47:08.520 --> 1:47:11.160
<v Speaker 1>leads to a lot of the violence, but it's something

1:47:11.200 --> 1:47:13.759
<v Speaker 1>broader than that. You know, there are there are Muslims

1:47:13.800 --> 1:47:18.559
<v Speaker 1>across the Western world. And I wrote a book in

1:47:18.560 --> 1:47:20.840
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and seventeen called No Go Zones where I

1:47:20.880 --> 1:47:24.880
<v Speaker 1>went to a lot of these Muslim dominated ghettos and

1:47:24.920 --> 1:47:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I spoke to a lot of people, and yes, a

1:47:27.920 --> 1:47:32.719
<v Speaker 1>majority in those Muslim neighborhoods want things that I should

1:47:32.760 --> 1:47:37.360
<v Speaker 1>hope nobody out there wants Sharia law, female genital mutilation,

1:47:38.240 --> 1:47:41.360
<v Speaker 1>all these awful things. But there are people within their

1:47:41.400 --> 1:47:46.240
<v Speaker 1>midst who both want to shun that or leave it

1:47:46.280 --> 1:47:50.960
<v Speaker 1>all together, or reform it from the inside out. And

1:47:51.000 --> 1:47:54.160
<v Speaker 1>when people like Don Lemon say what Don Lemon says,

1:47:55.280 --> 1:47:57.759
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't empower them, it doesn't help them, It doesn't

1:47:57.760 --> 1:48:02.200
<v Speaker 1>help anyone. It's just a lie. Listen, You've been wonderful
