1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. America falls in love 2 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: with a military super dog. A new witness emerges in 3 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: the whole Ukraine gate fiasco. What happened to the whistleblower? 4 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: By the way Trump and maximum immunity claims, Sean Spicer 5 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: gets voted through California fires and utility company nonsense, China 6 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: has smart toilets, and Trump Turnbury not really a thing. 7 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: We got that and much more coming up on The 8 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where 9 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: the mission or mission is to decode what really matters 10 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a great 11 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: American Again The Buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, remember no, 12 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bucks. Back to the show, everybody, thank 13 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: you so much for being here. We have some things 14 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: to get to today, although I do I promise that 15 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: we're going to probably jump around more than usual because 16 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: there's not that one dominating news story that Everburn's also 17 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: focused on. I did want to take a moment just 18 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: to say that the Internet was a flame alight. The 19 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: Internet was on fire with all these photos of now 20 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: they said they I've seen the name. I don't want 21 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: to say the name because people are saying the name 22 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: might not be officially the name, and but a dog 23 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: that is credited with helping to chase down Abu Baker 24 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: al Baghdaddy has taken the hearts, has won the hearts 25 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: of the American people. There's a photo of that K nine, 26 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: that K nine hero that's making the rounds all over 27 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: the place, and it's one of these moments where I 28 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: have to say, the American people love dogs so much, 29 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: and I'm one of the American people who loves dogs 30 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: so much that I'm not sure that it's rational. But 31 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm also sure that I don't care. Dogs are a gift. 32 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: They're fantastic. Reminds me I probably need to get one, 33 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: even though as a guy who lives solo, it's not 34 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: that easy to take care of them. I also believe 35 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: that it's likely that there will be a surge in 36 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: ownership of Belgian Malinois and Dutch shepherds. Those are the 37 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: two dogs that I think these days are most often 38 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: now I'm not a canine handler, so any of you 39 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: listening who know more about this, by all means let 40 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: me know. But I've met plenty of people in the 41 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: special operations community out in the field. Who those tend 42 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: to be the dog breeds that they have. There's also 43 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: German shepherds, obviously, but a lot of Belgian Malonois, a 44 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: lot of Dutch shepherds, And I mean those things when 45 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: you see them and they're well trained, they're like fur 46 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: rockets with teeth, and they're incredibly good at what they do, 47 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: tracking down bad guys, getting into tight space, is moving 48 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: very quickly through buildings, tackling and grabbing the bad guys, 49 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: even when they're armed. I think there's gonna be a 50 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: spike in ownership of those dogs. I'm a little concerned 51 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: that people at somebody who spent way too much of 52 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: his childhood reading through the American Kennel Club book and 53 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: learning all the different dog breeds and reading about their temperaments. 54 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: If you get a bells in Malanma, you better know 55 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: what you're doing with a dog because they require a 56 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: firm hand, a master who establishes himself or herself as 57 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: the alpha, and they are working dogs. I'm I'm just 58 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: putting that X. I feel like people out I'm like, oh, 59 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: look at this dog. They're amazing. There there can be 60 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: fantastic animals, no question about it. But you're not getting 61 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: a pug, you know, where the pug gets a little 62 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: out a lot and you're like, oh, little simy pug, 63 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: Like this is a This is an animal that has 64 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: a purpose, is bred for a purpose, and that purpose 65 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: is to work to assist military law enforcement, to track 66 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: and to hunt down perpetrators. So there was a little 67 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: bit more fall it also yesterday from the media efforts 68 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: to take away from what is clearly a big Trump 69 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: national security victory. I know we spent a lot of 70 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: times yesterday, so I won't get into it for very long. 71 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: But one of my favorites was when there was this 72 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: concern over why would President Trump not inform like Nancy 73 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: Pelosi or Adam Schiff about the raid before it happened? 74 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: And the truth is why, really, I'd put it in 75 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: the other direction. Why would he? I know people would 76 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: say that it's custom, but they keep saying the president's 77 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: a trader, So I think there's a degree of ill 78 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: will there that we'd have to recognize on both sides. 79 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: But here's his answer. I mean, President Trump never want 80 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: to back away from the media trying to corner him. 81 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: Here's his answer to why they didn't tell Democrat leadership 82 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: about the effort to the successful, hugely important raid against 83 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: Abu Baker al Baghdatti playclip too please. Well, I guess 84 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: the only thing is they were talking about why didn't 85 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: I give the information to Adam Schiff and his committee? 86 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: And the answerance because I think Adam Schiff is the 87 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: biggest leaker in Washington. You know that, I know that 88 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: we all know that. I do think a lot of 89 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: people would agree that Adam Schiff is a huge leaker 90 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: and a very dishonest and dishonorable guy. And of course 91 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: the media went apoplectic over this thing. They were still 92 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: so very very upset. How dare the president, the commander 93 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: in chief make this decision without getting the thumbs up 94 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: from not that she had to give a thumbs up, 95 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: but but informing Nancy Pelosi beforehand. And then there was 96 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: the continued shock that I think that some of the 97 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: country had a lot of us expect nothing more than 98 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: this from the Washington Post, but there was a degree 99 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:04,119 Speaker 1: of shock from some quarters over Wapouan Post saying that well, 100 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: the whole Austere scholar obituary for Abu Baker all back Daddy, 101 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: he was an Austere scholar, they claimed in the headline. 102 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: It turns out his chief propaganda guy for the Islamic 103 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: State was also taken out. So clearly the Special Operations 104 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: community has a problem with Austere scholars. Our guys and 105 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: jaysok are our seals and Delta and rangers. They really 106 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,239 Speaker 1: don't like Austere scholars in Syria. That's what we've found 107 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: out in the last few days. But Kelly on Conway, 108 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: who I think would accurately describe as fierce, she's fierce 109 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: when she wants to be. She pointed out that would 110 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: WAPPO make such an error if it were about I mean, 111 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: I said this too, and this is the obvious way 112 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: to illustrate the point. But it was funny to hear 113 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: a senior White House advisor get into it as well, 114 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: that if somebody from the White House haven't forbid passed 115 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: away from natural causes, would the obituary in the Washington 116 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: Post make any effort whatsoever to be fair, to be favorable, 117 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: even to be respectful. No, of course, not play us seventeen. 118 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: I just want to say this last thing on behalf 119 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: of the president in the White House. This obituary was 120 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: a disgrace. And I would ask the Washington Post close 121 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: your eyes and pretend that al bag Daddy worked in 122 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: the Trump White House and then go rewrite true obituary. 123 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: I bet you wouldn't be as kind. Wow, al bag 124 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: daddy worked in the White House. That would be a 125 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: bigger a bigger problem for the bigger issue. Perhaps a 126 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: bit of exaggeration, but it feels like not nearly enough. 127 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: And now we move on today because they lost the 128 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: battle to make this a problem about Trump's Oh no, 129 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: there's one more thing where we keep hearing about how 130 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: well he almost jeopardized the mission his pullout decision from Syria. 131 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: We keep hearing that that Trump was was so reckless 132 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: that this could have gone very bad, all because of Trump, 133 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: even though I thought, isn't he the commander chief doesn't 134 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: even get credit if the economy is terrible, doesn't they 135 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: get the president and get credit for it or blame 136 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: for it? And the same thing if it goes really 137 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: well in a way that's not really directly linked to 138 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: any one particular person. The answers, of course, we know 139 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: this is the case. Presidents get more credit and more 140 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: blamed than they are due. That's just the way. Things 141 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: are true of generals of armies too, by the way, 142 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: more credit than they deserve, more blame than they deserve, 143 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: depending on the circumstances. But in this issue, on this issue, 144 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: there are so many people in the media who have 145 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: really no understanding whatsoever of the military that or how 146 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: the military operates or functions. What will the military is 147 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: capable of that this this line I was seeing even 148 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: from some conservatives of oh, we would never be able 149 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: to do the strike we did if Trump had had 150 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: his way. Well, here's what. First of all, Trump did 151 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: get his way, and that's where the strike happened. But 152 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: here's General Mark Milly responding about the operational capabilities of 153 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: the United States military to pull off something like the 154 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: Abu Baker Bagh Daddy ray play sixteen. Can you explain 155 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: how difficult this operation would have been if you didn't 156 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: have troops or bass on the ground in Syria and 157 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: in Iraq. Well, we do have video photos. Who are 158 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: not prepared at this time to release those. They're going 159 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: through a declassification process. I think what you'll see here 160 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: in the coming days is we'll set up some operational 161 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: and taxi level preefings by Central command, and you'll be 162 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: provided some video and photos, etc. Of that been to 163 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: carry out this operation if he didn't have troops on 164 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: the ground. From an operational standpoint, the United States military 165 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: can strike any target anywhere, anytime. I want to put 166 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: that at the top of the show, just as a reminder, like, 167 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: just have that as part of our opening. General Milliye 168 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: is saying, from an operational standpoint, we can hit anyone anywhere, anytime. Yeah, America. 169 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: So that was a good answer to the question, I think, 170 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll silence a little bit of the bad 171 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: faith criticism that's out there. Oh, speaking of bad faith criticism, 172 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer noted counter terrorism expert also wanted to job, 173 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: we're going to get to this Ukraine testimony and more 174 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: people opining over what a transcript means that we've already 175 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: seen and discussed at nauseum what the transcript says. But 176 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: oh gosh, well someone else's opinion on this, Like we're 177 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: really supposed to care. But here's what Chuck Schumer noted, 178 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: counterterrorism expert, have you on the sarcasm there thinks about 179 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: the defeat of ISIS play fourteen? Please, we still need 180 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: a plan for the enduring defeat of isis not gone. 181 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: We must include details on how we will deal with 182 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: escape prisoners. Nobody knows. These are evil people that want 183 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: to hurt us, and they can escape from the prisons, 184 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: and Lord knows where they'll go, but we know a 185 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: good chunk of them will want to do damage to 186 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: our homeland. So far, the administration unfortunately has articulated no 187 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: coherent plan. Its top official, Secretary Pompeio, Secretary Espert, unable 188 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: to find time to even brief Congress. You all likely 189 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: could because they have nothing real to say, no plan. 190 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: What was the coherent plan, Chuck Schumer? When President Obama 191 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: was running things and about a half a million people 192 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: died in Syria, a massive terrorist group took over hundreds 193 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: and hundreds of miles of territory and was enslaving, mutilating, 194 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: and murdering at ill and engaging in external plotting, inspiring 195 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: attacks against European allies and against the American homeland. What 196 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: was the Obaba administration coherent plan? Oh? I remember, don't 197 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: do stupid stuff, and we're supposed to think that was smart. 198 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: That was a brilliant strategic slogan, don't do stupid and 199 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: they didn't say stuff. By the way, it's almost like 200 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: everything now is just turned partisan for the Democrats, and 201 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: so nothing else really matters. You do start to get 202 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: that sense, don't you, Speaking of which the impeachment proceedings, 203 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: and yet another person coming forward to tell us what 204 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: we've already the facts that we already know, but to 205 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: give another spin on it. Oh, there's a bit of 206 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: a trouble bubbling up over this one. Who exactly is 207 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: this official? Former National Security Aid Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman. 208 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: We will get into what he says about how old 209 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: now the walls are closing in on Trump. Now Trump 210 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: has gone too far. Now it's all, oh, no, no, 211 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: none of that is true. None of that is true. 212 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: But they never grow tired of this. The inmates and 213 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party took over the asylum a long time ago. 214 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: They do the same thing and expect the different result 215 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: and don't think that it's crazy. And so here we 216 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: are talking more about this phone call with President Trump 217 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: and the leader of Ukraine. We will get into this 218 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: in a second. The New York Times headline is supposed 219 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: to send shivers down the spines of people throughout the 220 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 1: Trump's supporting world official who heard Trump's Ukraine call reported 221 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: his concerns. This is Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vinmann, And now 222 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: is where we have to start this by saying, yes, 223 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: he served honorably, Yes he's a Purple Heart recipient, and 224 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: we thank him for his military service. That does not 225 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: mean and the media knows this, but this is a 226 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: very dishonest game they like to play that his opinion 227 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: about what is a clearly political matter holds any more 228 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: weight than yours, or mind or anybody else's. That he 229 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: has expertise in Ukraine policy does not matter. This is 230 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: a question of whether or not the President of the 231 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: United States did anything illegal in his phone call, and 232 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: the answer is most decidedly no. And then beyond that, 233 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: to the president of the United States do anything that 234 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: was unbecoming of the commander in chief? And the answer 235 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: to that is the voters decide. I don't care what 236 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Vinman thinks about the phone call. It does 237 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: not sway me one bit. But it is supposed to. 238 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: He quote plans to tell about the way I read 239 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: his testimony this morning. I keep wondering this testimony gets 240 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: leaked out from all these people that are speaking behind 241 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: closed doors, almost like this has all been orchestrated by 242 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: Democrat and this is a sham and a scam. In fact, 243 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: I believe this morning I saw Congressman Mark Meadows sharing 244 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: on Twitter that this may be moved from the Judiciary 245 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: Committee to the Intel Committee. It's ano they're going to 246 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: shift committees, I mean the shifty shift. They're just going 247 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: to play as many games as they can to control 248 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: the process. And in fact, one reason why they haven't 249 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: established a vote on the impeachment process. Yesterday they were 250 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: saying Nancy Pelosi was about to do it. Today they're saying, 251 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: oh no, Pelosi says there is no impeachment process vote 252 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. I mean is that they're not really 253 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: sure because it has none of this has anything to 254 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: do with what is fair or ethical or decent. This 255 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: is all about what maximizes political benefit for Democrats and 256 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: helps them the most in twenty twenty against Donald Trump. 257 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: Everything else is not a secondary, a non consideration. They 258 00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: simply and truly do not care. And so now we 259 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: have the details of this, and much has been made 260 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: of VINMN, according to the New York Times, trying to 261 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: give advice to the Ukrainians about how to deal with 262 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: the United States government, and people have looked at this 263 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: and said, what the heck is that all about. You 264 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: should never be helping a foreign government figure out what 265 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: America is trying to do, especially if you're a senior 266 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: American government official. But this is now a repetition of 267 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: what we've already been told, which is that people don't 268 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: like Trump's Ukraine. People that had set up a Ukraine 269 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: policy on the previous administration, and those who have been 270 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: working for the National Security apparatus for many years on 271 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: this issue didn't like some of the most President Trump 272 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: was it was making. It's from the New York Times. 273 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: Quoteman will testify that he watched with alarm as outside 274 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: influencers began pushing a false narrative about Ukraine that was 275 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: countered to the consensus view of American national security officials 276 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: and harmful to United States interests. End quote, guess what, 277 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: Lieutenant COLONL. Vineman, I don't care that you think that 278 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: that's like your opinion, man, doesn't matter. You're allowed to 279 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: share it, sure, but this is not a high crime 280 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: or misdemeanor issue. This is a you don't like what 281 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: the president was doing issue, and Democrats have so conflated 282 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: these two things that they really believe if they're very upset, 283 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if they're like really really really upset about something, 284 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: then it doesn't really matter if it's not actually a crime, 285 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: because they're angry enough about it that it should be 286 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: a crime. And I think that's, in summary form, what 287 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: this whole impeachment thing is all about. They hate Trump 288 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: so much that their hatred self must be evidence of 289 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: the high crimes and misdemeanors constitutionally mandated. But it's not. 290 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show team. So continuing 291 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: on with this theme of the latest, oh my gosh, 292 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: this new addition to the whistle blower. Wait, whatever happened 293 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: to the whistle blower? Why is it that the whistle 294 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: blower is not going to testify now? Just the written 295 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: statement No, no testimony from the whistle blower. Huh, Because 296 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: I remember in the early days of this when it 297 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: was all about truth and justice in the American way 298 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: according to Congressman Shift, I remember that it was of 299 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: course necessary for the whistleblower to testify. But then they 300 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: figured out the whistle Blower had coordinated with Adam Shift 301 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: before the complaint was made public, and that sort of 302 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: look kind of bad, almost like this was motivated by 303 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: partisanship and has nothing to do with actual crimes or 304 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: misdemeanors as reference in the constant, or high crimes and 305 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: misdemeaners as reference the Constitution, or just i'm crimes, which 306 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: was initially alleged as well. Remember that I haven't forgotten. 307 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: This is the game they like to play. Oh, they 308 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: throw out some criminal charge, and everybody who knows anything 309 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: about the law or can just read a legal text goes, 310 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: that's not true. That's not a criminal. You can't charge 311 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: the president with a campaign finance violation because he was 312 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: using the pressure of his office to get an outcome 313 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: that would benefit him politically. Because any president who uses 314 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: the pressure of his office with a foreign counterpart would 315 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: be getting on a major policy, you should be getting 316 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: some kind of benefit politically. Doing anything smart for the 317 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: president should not be illegal, which is effectively what that 318 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: interpretation of the law would mean. Up, the president just 319 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: signed this treaty going to help him at re election time, 320 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: clearly getting a foreign benefit from that counterpart or a 321 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: benefit from that foreign counterpart. This is absurd. That was 322 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: the legal theory. Notice that you see this recurring in 323 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: mal luments, stretching that beyond comprehension. Oh, diplomats have bought 324 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: cheeseburgers a Trump hotel. They must own Trump's foreign policy. 325 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: This is absurd. But this is really the case. They 326 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: make the usage of the Logan Act, the Logan Act 327 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: in order to have that interview with General Flynn entrapman 328 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: interview with the FBI. No one thought seriously they were 329 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: going to bring a Logan Act charge. But see they 330 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: use the pretense of a legal concern in order to 331 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: bring in the apparatus of the state, and then poke 332 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: around and the process becomes the punishment. Democrats excel at 333 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: this and they hate that it would be used in 334 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: the other direction. Oh no, you're not allowed to investigate. 335 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: Even if there's a legitimate pretext for the investigation, or 336 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: rather a legitimate basis for the investigation, You're not allowed 337 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: to do that. We have more here. This is all 338 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: about Colonel Vinman's policy concerns. Again, I simply do not 339 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: care what his policy concerns are. I don't even find 340 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: them particularly interesting. He wants to do things one way. 341 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: Trump wants to do things another way. Trump's the commander 342 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: in chief. The NSC staff is not there to subvert 343 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: the will or the policy directives of the President of 344 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: the United States. I know they think they are. I 345 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: know the State Department thinks they are. I know all 346 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: these people that sit in boring Beijewald government offices all 347 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: across the DC metropolitan area believe that they are supposed 348 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: to thwart the will of the president because they know better. 349 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:38,719 Speaker 1: But that's not true. That's not how our system works. 350 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: That is not why they are sitting in those chairs. 351 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: And yet here we are New York Times continues. Colonel 352 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: Vineman was concerned, oh no, after he learned that the 353 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 1: White House Budget Office had taken the unusual step of 354 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: withholding the three ninety one million dollars package of security 355 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: systons for Ukraine that have been approved by Congress. They 356 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: got the money, folks, nothing happened. They keep on saying this, like, 357 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Ukraine, they were left on the front 358 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: lines without any without any bullets, without these security assistance 359 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: went through. And the Ukrainians during this whole ruckus that 360 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: we're talking about here, didn't even know that there was 361 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: a hold a review placed on that security assistance. So 362 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: how could you have been using the security aid to 363 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: force them to do something that would be illicit? And 364 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm not even agreeing that it is a listit necessarily 365 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: I think there's a legitimate basis to investigate what the 366 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: Bidens were doing in Ukraine. I'm sorry, I know that 367 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: makes me a crazy person, even on the right. For 368 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: some people these days, I don't care. You know, is 369 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: this a little bit like cancel culture? Some conservatives have 370 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: figured out that the only way to begin to bring 371 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: things back to normalcies to say you're going to cancel. 372 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: We're gonna cancel, You're gonna have these crazy rules. You 373 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: have to live by these crazy rules. And if investigations 374 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: that are at least able to appear legitimate are going 375 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 1: to be a tool that Democrats throw at Republicans all 376 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: the time. If Republicans have an even more legitimate basis 377 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: for an investigation that just happens to negatively affects some 378 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: Democrat politicians, guess what too bad? Or we can just 379 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: allow one side to weaponize the law and have no 380 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: response to it whatsoever, which has been the reality. I mean, 381 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: we can go back to the Romney school of fighting 382 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: against the left. Just keep getting smacked around and say, well, 383 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: but I'm really ethical when I'm getting slapped around, I'm 384 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: really a nice person while they are running roughshot over 385 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: the Constitution and taking away the rights of the people 386 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: that I said I would protect in my elected office. 387 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: But whoops, No, I don't want to be mean. Quote. 388 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: At least one previous witnesses testified that mister Trump directed 389 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: the aid be frozen until he could secure a commitment 390 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: from Zelenski to announce an investigation of the bidens. While 391 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: Colonel Vineman's concerns were shared by a number of other officials, 392 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: some of whom have already testified. He was in a 393 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: unique position because he emigrated from Ukraine along with his 394 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: family when he was a child. He's fluent in Ukrainian 395 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: and Russian. Ukrainian officials sought advice from him about how 396 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: to deal with mister Giuliani, though they typically communicated in English. 397 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: Giuliani's an American working at the behests of the president. 398 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: I know that Libs and Democrats hate this, don't like this, 399 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: reject this doesn't change anything. Julian is an American and 400 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: he's the president's personal lawyer. He is working on a 401 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: directive from the President of the United States, and we're 402 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: at the direction of the President of the United States, 403 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: and this guy is helping the Ukrainians to deal with him. Now, 404 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: I'm not throwing around people have been talking about about 405 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: dual loyalty because I don't care where a person grew 406 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: up or where they're from. That that is irrelevant to me. 407 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: Why would you be assisting a foreign counterpart in a 408 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: process of handling and negotiating with an American interlocutor who 409 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: was working for the President of the United States. Well, 410 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: what kind of authority does want to have to do that? 411 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: And why would one do that? I think we all know. 412 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: And this is why when they say it's unfair to 413 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 1: call this person a never trumper, he has a policy 414 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: dispute with the President of United States. He was very, 415 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: very worried about the directive to start an investigation of Biden. Oh, 416 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: can we just keep two things in mind here as 417 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: we continue to get hammered with this This really just 418 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: an endless propaganda narrative. The AID was not cut off. 419 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: The investigation of Biden didn't as far as we know, 420 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: did not even happen, did not even start. So what 421 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: are we also worked up about here? Again? You know, 422 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: this reminds me of how people say, oh, Trump obstructed 423 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: the Russia collusion investigation, except he could have shut it 424 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: down any day he wanted to. So he didn't shut it. 425 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: He didn't obstruct it. Oh, but he wanted he said 426 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: he wanted to obstruct it. This is pathetic, and we 427 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: keep running back to this over and over again. We're 428 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: going to punish the president of the United States for 429 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: thought crime against liberal pieties. I don't think so. Look, 430 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: this is not going to change anything. This is not 431 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: going to shift any public support I think for or 432 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: against the president. I believe that there's there are two 433 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: forces that are pushing the Democrats into this, or that 434 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: make the Democrats think that they have to do this. 435 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: One of them is that their base is insane, has 436 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: really lost its mind. I mean, the left wing base 437 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: is completely crazy and they demand this. So there are 438 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: some Democrats in Congress are saying, look, we got we 439 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: got to help out those in crazy town here who 440 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: need to see some action or else they're going to 441 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,479 Speaker 1: flip out it. So that's one part of it. So 442 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: they're just playcating the craziest elements the Occasio Cortes wing 443 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party. That's one aspect, and the other 444 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: is I do think there are some Democrats who in 445 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: Congress who have convinced themselves that Trump is such an 446 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: existential threat to the United States. Whatever they think that 447 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: even means, I don't even know how they could. But 448 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: the nuclear war that he hasn't started, he hasn't started 449 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: any war unlike his predecessors. What exactly is this grand 450 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: threat that Trump poses to the Republic saying mean things 451 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: to smug, overpaid, whiney journalists for the media establishment. That's 452 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: a massive threat to this country. I don't think so. 453 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't see it that way. But I 454 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: do believe there are members of Congress who think that 455 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: anything that they have to do to harm this president's 456 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: reelection prospects is justified, and even if that means manipulating 457 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: this impeachment process so that it makes a mockery of 458 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives, which I already think they've already managed. 459 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: That they have dramatically undermined any public confidence that Congress 460 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: is a place where serious people gather to do serious things. 461 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: It's impeachment so far as a sham, it's a clown show. 462 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, And yet here we are, Here we are, 463 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: It's gonna just push on. It looks now like they 464 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 1: won't get the consensus opinion, which who knows what that 465 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: even is. But the media and the Democrats are all 466 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: saying to each other that looks like this will extend 467 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: into the new year. That also, though, means that if 468 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: the Senate gets dragged into this, then you will have 469 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: Democrat senators who should be out there on the campaign 470 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: trail for the primary, you know klobaschar and Warren and 471 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: Booker and you know good on the list, who might 472 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden have some duties in the Senate 473 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: having to do with an impeachment trial. Now, I don't 474 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: know if they think that that's a good trade off, 475 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: but I would guess it's so Democrats haven't even figured 476 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: out what the strategy is here yet. They just know 477 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: they feel like they've got something, and like a terrier 478 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: with a bone, they're just not going to let it go. 479 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: They're just gonna keep shaking and shaking and hope that 480 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: something happens. That's pretty much the Democrats strategy just keep shaking, 481 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: just keep doing crazy stuff, and see if they can 482 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: finally break through the great Wall of trumps Um. I 483 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: don't think they're going to get there, but they're going 484 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: to keep trying, folks, because their policy proposals certainly aren't 485 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: going to get it done, and the candidates they're putting 486 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: forward aren't going to get it done. So impeachment is 487 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: their X factor. I can understand why the President doesn't 488 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: want these witnesses come forward. What I find harder to 489 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: understand is why the Republican members of this body, in 490 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: this House don't want these witnesses to come forward. Where 491 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: is their duty to this institution, Where is their duty 492 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: to the constitution? Where is their respect for the rule 493 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: of law? Where's that shift's respect for the rule of law? Well, 494 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: we know that was tossed out, tossed out the window 495 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: a long time ago. Doesn't really matter, does it. Of course, 496 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: now you're going to have a response to this democrat 497 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: weaponization of a process that no one even really knows. 498 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: They're making it up as they go along, acting like 499 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: it's a legal process, mind you, when it's just clearly 500 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: a political process. They can figure out whatever the whatever 501 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: they want to do on any given day and then 502 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: just institute that. But I would note that there's a 503 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: I do have a real concern about something it comes 504 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: up as a result of this. Of course, the president 505 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: has no choice and would be foolish if he were 506 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: to just go along with all this stuff. So he 507 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: has no choice but to fight against and his legal 508 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: team in the White House these efforts to going into 509 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: an election, in your mind, you try to use Congress 510 00:30:55,040 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: as some bat with which to beat down the chances 511 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: of a reelection for President Trump. So they should fight 512 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: it at every stage, and they should make this as 513 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: difficult as possible because there's no good faith in the process, 514 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: So that should be responded to in turn. Now there's 515 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: also the concern, though about what the president's lawyers are 516 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: asserting as a result of this. The Wall Street Journal 517 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: has a piece here, Trump Attorney, a Trump Attorney's assert 518 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: immunity from a broad sweep of laws. And when you 519 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: look over the documents and the filings that Trump's legal 520 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: team has put together in response to this concerted effort 521 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: from Democrats to destroy his presidency, you have a lot 522 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: of a very broad swath of documents that are all 523 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: more or less saying the same thing, which is that 524 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: Trump is quote immune to civil law suits, judicial orders, 525 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: criminal investigations, or congressional probes. The journal rights here. Those 526 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: arguments have become even more aggressive as mister Trump faces 527 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: numerous legal threats, including a possible impeachment in Congress, a 528 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: New York state prosecute who are prosecutor who has subpoened 529 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: his tax records as part of a criminal probe? And 530 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: a welter of civil lawsuits. They are trying lawfare against 531 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: this president personally. It's not the administration. They're going after 532 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: the President United States personally, but this in response, now, 533 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: lawyers will often take a maximalist position on behalf of 534 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: their clients. You know, if you go into a divorce proceeding, 535 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: your lawyer is probably going to say, well, my client 536 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: deserves full custody of the kids and all the merrill 537 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: assets and should get spousals aboard, doesn't matter what the 538 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: real and you start the negotiation from there. For obvious reasons. 539 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: In this context, when you have all these different entities 540 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: that are trying to personally legally attack the president, that says, 541 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: while he's the president, I can understand why his lawyers 542 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: are saying you don't need essentially, you don't even have 543 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: standing for this, You don't even have the grounds to 544 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: bring this lawsuit against the president, that he has a 545 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: de facto immunity from all of this stuff while he's president. 546 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: That said, that then does result in some of what 547 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: we've already seen, which is people saying or lawyers on 548 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: behalf of the president making the claim that he could 549 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: in fact shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and not get prosecuted. 550 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: This has now become a point of legal contention amongst 551 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: some and you even had Mayor Bill de Blasio who said, no, 552 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: we would arrest him in New York City even if 553 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: and can you imagine that, by the way, what happens 554 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,719 Speaker 1: What happens if I just if we're theoretically playing out 555 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: this circumstances at the President United States were to shoot somebody, 556 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: and then the local police, which is really just an 557 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 1: extension of state police powers, but you know, local police 558 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: here in New York wanted to make an arrest. Would 559 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: Secret Service if the Secret Service was told the President 560 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: was under threat from local I mean, this starts to 561 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: get crazy, right, it turns into a Tom Clancy novel 562 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: or something or that scene at the end of the 563 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: movie The Siege, which I actually think is an underrated 564 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: movie for what it is, with Denzel Washington and Annette Benning, 565 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: where you have US military and FBI agents all drawing 566 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: down on each other because the rogue Bruce willis, who's 567 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: a rogue colonel I think, not a general is doing 568 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: bad stuff and the FBI wants to arrest him, and 569 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: then he tells his guys and they all they all 570 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: have that standoff at the end. But I have to say, 571 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,919 Speaker 1: I think it's it's fascinating to see the legal back 572 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 1: end forth here over whether or not a president can 573 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: in fact be indicted for anything. The President's position right 574 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: now is nope, he cannot. We will be made to 575 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: revisit this, my friends. This is not going to go away. 576 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,479 Speaker 1: He was a sick and depraved man and now he's dead. 577 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: He's dead. He's dead as a doornail. There are a 578 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 1: lot of ways that one could describe the death of 579 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:30,439 Speaker 1: Baghdaddy and who Abubakar al Baghdaddy was. That it really turned, 580 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,240 Speaker 1: It really turns into a competition to find the most 581 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: the most clear put down of who this individual was. 582 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: Language that really conveys what a disgrace and what a 583 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: dehumanizing and evil piece of You know, you want to 584 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: go to the profane. I'll just say it. You want 585 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: to start dropping curses when you're talking about a guy 586 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: like this. I get that, And that's the normal feeling 587 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: that all of us would have somebody who would do this, 588 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 1: somebody who would keep sex slave, somebody who would murder 589 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: men and women, children, have the Mexican you to have 590 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: them tortured. All these the most horrible things imaginable. And 591 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: by the way back, Daddy would have done it to 592 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: millions of people if he could have remembered that. You know, 593 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: albib Baker, albug Daddy, if he had a nuke to 594 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: set off a New York City, he would do it tomorrow. Well, 595 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: he won't be doing anything tomorrow except burning in hell. 596 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: But there aren't. Some people who, as we've been discussing, 597 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 1: were distracted from this obvious truth of Albibaker al Baghdaddy 598 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: because to them, the bigger concern, the bigger enemy than 599 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: the Islamic State is clearly Donald Trump. And this is 600 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: a malady that has been on the left for a 601 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: long time. Right, the bigger concern than al Qaeda was 602 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: George Bush for a lot of liberals in America for 603 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 1: a long time. I remember I was in the CIA 604 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: during the Bush administration, and a lot of people were 605 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: much more worried about Bush than they were about Sam. 606 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: They were about the Taliban, al Qaeda, you name it. 607 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: The real enemy was Bush, or the real worry was 608 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 1: was Bush and his foreign policy. And this is from 609 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 1: me of something that we have seen from the Trump 610 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: administration that I think is very important. There are a 611 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: lot of things about Trump that will last long after 612 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: he's out of office, hopefully in twenty twenty four. But 613 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: one of my favorites is that he has managed to 614 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: expose the media and liberals and Democrats in a way 615 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: that nobody else had before, because they dropped the pretense 616 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: that they often hide behind. They drop from behind their 617 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: hiding places and oh, I'm just an objective journalist, or oh, 618 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm just a government a faithful government servant who would 619 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 1: never ever try to take politics into my own hands, 620 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: use the power that I'm given to execute a very 621 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 1: specific mission of the federal government, and do something else 622 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: with that. Oh never, good heavens. And then we had 623 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,879 Speaker 1: Comy and Clapper and Brennan and you struck and pay 624 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: age and you know, just go down the whole list. 625 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: N CNN just making a mockery of itself on the 626 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: Washington Post, The New York Times, fall stories, fake stories, 627 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: having a fire journalists because they write fake stuff about 628 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,280 Speaker 1: the president, burning sources to write something nasty about the president, 629 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: some minor news item somewhere. I mean, just just no integrity, 630 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: no ethics, just just throwing it all out the window 631 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: because resistance is all that matters. And that's been very illuminating, 632 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: that's been really worthwhile for us as a country. We 633 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: will not forget it. I will not forget it. I mean. 634 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:39,760 Speaker 1: The two greatest clarifiers of media bias in the last decade, 635 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: in my opinion, our Twitter, because now we have journalists 636 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: who at eight o'clock in the morning go like ha 637 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: ha ha lol, Donald Trump is a moron, and then 638 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 1: at eight o'clock at night are on TV. Tonight Donald 639 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,919 Speaker 1: Trump destroyed the Constitution. Again. I'm just an objective journalist here, 640 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 1: just telling you the objective truth. Don't don't pay attention 641 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: to my haha. Trump is a more on tweet. They 642 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: do this all the time. So that's one part of it, 643 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: but the others also just the Trump himself. The existence 644 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: of Trump has I think heightened that that phenomenon on 645 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: Twitter and elsewhere. They just can't help themselves. They hate 646 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,439 Speaker 1: this guy so much that they make errors. They get 647 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: so angry about Trump that they're not as conniving, they're 648 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: not as tactically sound in their propaganda as they were 649 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: in the past. And I think that's been very useful. 650 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 1: The one part of that that I have to say 651 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,879 Speaker 1: is surprising, and this is what has made me get 652 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: in this frame of mind, is what he has shown 653 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 1: us about many conservatives too. You see in the early 654 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: days of Never Trump and there were people who were 655 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: posted Trump during the primary, and I understand why, and 656 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: I had my concerns about Trump during the primary too, 657 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: did not have any concerns. As soon as he was 658 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: the nominee. He was my guy, full stop. But there 659 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: have been there has been this movement of never Trumpers 660 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: who initially for about the first two years of the 661 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 1: Trump presidency, we're holding themselves up as the true idealists 662 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: of the conservative movement. They were the real right wing, 663 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: true believers in a sense, because they were adhering to 664 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: the principles that everybody else had abandoned because of this 665 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: reality TV barbarian who had taken over the Republican Party. 666 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 1: That was the basic narrative. But what we've really seen 667 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 1: or that many of the not all of them, I'm 668 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: not gonna put them on it, but many of the 669 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:47,959 Speaker 1: loudest voices in that category have in fact now made 670 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: common cause with Democrats, vote for Democrats, want Democrat policies 671 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: to get through, have switched teams, are the definition politically 672 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: of a turncoat, and no longer clinging to the fiction 673 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: that they're the true conservatives. So in a sense, Trump 674 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: has brought out the truth of many people who were 675 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 1: formerly leading voices of the conservative establishment, people like Bill Crystal, 676 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: people like Max Boots, people who I used to have 677 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: on this show sometimes as guests, some of whom I'm 678 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: still reasonably friendly with, so I will try to refrain 679 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: from bringing up their names on air just out of 680 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,760 Speaker 1: personal loyalty. But I always tell you that my personal 681 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: loyalties do interfere with my analysis, as in, my friends 682 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: are off limits for my show, and that's just a 683 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: point of honor that I maintain. You can disagree with 684 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 1: that some people would, but that's just I'm honest with 685 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:58,280 Speaker 1: you about it. But an amazing example of this, a stark, wow, 686 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: punch you in the face kind of example of exactly 687 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Max Boot who is not a 688 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 1: friend of mine, who wears a fedora un ironically in 689 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,399 Speaker 1: his main photos on Twitter and stuff, which just it's 690 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: it's pretty stunning. And he's a surly fellow, and I 691 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: think also increasingly an emotionally unwell fellow. But I can't 692 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: prove that. I'm just basically on my limited dealings with 693 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,879 Speaker 1: him and what I see on TV. But he wrote 694 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: a column of The Washington Post, which also has just 695 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: made a complete fool of itself in this bag Daddy 696 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: process in which he wrote this is in a column quote. 697 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 1: The assertion that Bagdaddy died as a coward was in 698 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: any case contradicted by the fact that, rather than be captured, 699 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 1: he blew himself up end quote. So in a column 700 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 1: in the second large or third largest newspaper in the country. 701 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: I think the Washington Post is the third largest, deal 702 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's close to it, probably the second 703 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: most esteemed liberal newspaper after the New York Times. But 704 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: in a column that he had to know was going 705 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: to be read by a fair amount of people. Max Boot, 706 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: driven by his ferocious trump hatred and obvious narcissism and 707 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: hurt feelings that no longer being particularly important, not the 708 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: way that he thought he used to be. He no 709 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: longer has a political party around him that he feels 710 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,320 Speaker 1: he can direct, he has an important place in There 711 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,279 Speaker 1: is a selfishness that has been exposed for many, not all, 712 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,879 Speaker 1: many never Trumpers who have gone so far in their 713 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: anti trumpism that they actively work to assist the other side. 714 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: And now they can't hide from that anymore, and they 715 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: also make fools of themselves. They can't hide from that either. 716 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: Why would anyone think it appropriate, even for a moment, 717 00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: to suggest that Bagdaddy suicide himself and three of his 718 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: own children with a suicide vest means that he's not 719 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:12,799 Speaker 1: a coward who would think that first of all? And 720 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: then who would write that out? Who would think that 721 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: they should write it out and then submitted under their 722 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: own name to a newspaper and not understand what the 723 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: consequences of that would be. The buffoonery here from Boot 724 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,359 Speaker 1: is stunning, except you have to understand this is an 725 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: emotional an emotional response for him, because anything that is 726 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,879 Speaker 1: good for a Trump, he feels like it's bad for him. 727 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 1: It's all personal. A lot of never Trumpers, it's all personal. 728 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: They're not important anymore. They got used to being important 729 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: within a certain set of the American right. They got 730 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,360 Speaker 1: used to being celebrated and everyone listening to them at everybody, 731 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden when people started to 732 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: question either some of their ideas or question their inability 733 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: to see what many of the rest of us scene 734 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: about Trump, which is not that Trump is perfect. I 735 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 1: don't think Trump is perfect at all. I think that 736 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,319 Speaker 1: Trump has made plenty of mistakes. I think he's got 737 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 1: plenty of personality flaws that are pretty shocking at times. 738 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: I don't sit here telling you that he's beyond reproach 739 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:20,919 Speaker 1: at all. In fact, I think it's important we should 740 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,760 Speaker 1: criticize Trump more on the let's say trillion dollars deficit 741 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,879 Speaker 1: we're running this year. On some of you right and say, buck, 742 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: you can't criticize him on this, or he's trying to 743 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 1: build a wall, or he's not trying hard enough. But 744 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: that's a long way criticizing somebody for not doing well enough. 745 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a difference between a coach who's 746 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,399 Speaker 1: trying to encourage his player on the field versus people 747 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,840 Speaker 1: in the stands. We're saying, you stink, get out the game. 748 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: That's what never Trump became really from the beginning. And 749 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,359 Speaker 1: then we find out not only are the yelling at Trump, 750 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,959 Speaker 1: you stink, get out of the game, but they were 751 00:45:55,040 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: secretly rooting for the other side the whole time. Wow, 752 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 1: I don't think we should listen to them anymore about 753 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: game strategy if that's going to be their approach. Boot 754 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 1: had to walk this back, by the way, But he's 755 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,280 Speaker 1: such a surly and smug fellow. We talked about immigration 756 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 1: once when I was on Rising, and he just didn't 757 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,399 Speaker 1: know what he was talking about. He came on TV 758 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,399 Speaker 1: figures I've written, I've written some books that were well 759 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: reviewed on the history of warfare, and therefore I know 760 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: about immigration. And so he came on TV and said 761 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,399 Speaker 1: some stupid things like walls don't work, and everybody knows 762 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 1: that false. That's not true. Walls do work, and anybody 763 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,919 Speaker 1: who knows anything about the boarder knows the walls work. 764 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:40,959 Speaker 1: So there's that. He did have to add this little 765 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 1: little note to his piece quoted. An earlier version of 766 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: this column included a sentence questioning whether Trump was right 767 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,239 Speaker 1: to call back Daddy a coward because he blew himself up. 768 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: The line was removed because it unintentionally conveyed the impression 769 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 1: that I considered back Daddy courageous. Well, that is kind 770 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 1: of what he said when he says someone's not a 771 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 1: coward because they blew himself up. I mean kind of 772 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: saying that they're not a coward. So I don't know 773 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: what else to say about that other than trump. De 774 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,359 Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome is a powerful drug, and some people take 775 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 1: way too much of it, and we see the results 776 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,360 Speaker 1: of it now. So we have I think, greater clarity 777 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 1: in many ways about who is who in the political 778 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 1: discussion right now than we've ever had before because they 779 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 1: can't help themselves. Trump is the great clarifier in that sense. Sure, 780 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 1: they'll always talk about how he polarizes things and he 781 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 1: makes it more difficult to have certain civil conversations with 782 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 1: the other side. Yeah, but he also lets us know 783 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 1: who really wants what and who stands for what in 784 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 1: the political debate in this country. And I think that 785 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: in itself is especially worthwhile. Oh, I don't think it's 786 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 1: aggressive at all. I would be surprised if he made 787 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 1: those comments in a negative way, but I don't think 788 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: the response would be if he actually said that, if 789 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 1: he actually meant that, I said what I do and 790 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: that I mean. So now we've got to another moment 791 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 1: in the media's life cycle here where they're using a 792 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 1: former using the words of a former Trump official to 793 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:17,840 Speaker 1: bash the president. And here's what I believe is that issue. Here, Kelly, 794 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,359 Speaker 1: who's a retired Marine Corps general, said during the Sea 795 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 1: Island Summit, which was hosted by the Washington Examine or CIANA, 796 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: here's a very nice place. Kelly said that if he 797 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: if he had stayed on his chief of staff, Trump 798 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't be in the midst of the current impeachment inquiry, 799 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 1: saying that certain White House advisors could have prevented it. 800 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,800 Speaker 1: And quote, here's the quote from Kelly. I said, whatever 801 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 1: you do. And we're still in the process of trying 802 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: to find someone to take my place. I said, whatever 803 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,479 Speaker 1: you do, don't hire a yes man, someone who won't 804 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 1: tell you the truth. Don't do that, because if you do, 805 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 1: I believe you will be impeached. Okay, well, maybe Kelly 806 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 1: said it, maybe he didn't. President Trump seems to think 807 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 1: that that wasn't. Keep in mind, people have been talking 808 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,400 Speaker 1: about how Trump was going to be impeached from the 809 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 1: day he took office because of the ferocious hatred the 810 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: left has for him. So it's not a tough thing 811 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 1: to say. That's not analysis that would be that should 812 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 1: be surprising to anybody. Do I think that the presidents 813 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: I saw me for but where I criticized the president? 814 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 1: Do I think the president's choices of senior advisors and 815 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:31,879 Speaker 1: staff around him have been almost inexplicably bad, Yes, yes 816 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: I do. There's there is no justification, there's no rational 817 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,120 Speaker 1: way to explain many of the choices that Trump made 818 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 1: about who to put around him and who to put 819 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: in positions of real authority. Scaramucci on a Rosa, I mean, 820 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 1: it really was a little bit like he said, or 821 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,800 Speaker 1: like he decided that he was staffing up a reality 822 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 1: TV show again, like he was picking people for the 823 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: Apprentice White House. That's real. Let's let's be clear, let's 824 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: be on about that. Um. There were a lot of 825 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,920 Speaker 1: people that were brought in that had to be shown 826 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 1: the door rather quickly. And they never should have been 827 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: brought in. So that's one area. And by the way, 828 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 1: that does fall on the president. I mean, he's got 829 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,279 Speaker 1: a lot of authority and these are important decisions to make, 830 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 1: and to make such poor ones reflects badly on his 831 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: judgment as a as a commander in chief. I think 832 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 1: that there's no way around that. I think we need 833 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: to be honest about that. So I'm telling you that's 834 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 1: that's what I think about where the president is on 835 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 1: all of it. On the upside though, they give you 836 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: a happy thing. So that's a that's a place where 837 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 1: I say Trump, you know, Trump gets a he gets 838 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,440 Speaker 1: a C minus on appointees and seeing your advisors really 839 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: C minus. It's gotten a little bit better, but it's 840 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,280 Speaker 1: because he's went through a lot of the really bad choices. 841 00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 1: But here is on the upside of things, the president is. 842 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,080 Speaker 1: And whether you're pro Trump or not, if you are 843 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 1: a conservative, you have to be pleased with what is 844 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,840 Speaker 1: going on right now in the federal judiciary. Here is 845 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,399 Speaker 1: President Trump. Play clip one. Please, I want to thank 846 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,800 Speaker 1: you President Obama for giving me one hundred and forty 847 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 1: two open judges. How you allowed that to happen is 848 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 1: beyond me. It's beyond me. Thank you, President Obama very much. 849 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,800 Speaker 1: Everybody in this room, thanks you. Now he's been a 850 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 1: little funny there, but this is a real point that 851 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 1: he's making. The hashtag resistance has relied so much on 852 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: federal judges who are activists, appointed largely by Obama but 853 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,280 Speaker 1: also by Clinton and sometimes by Republicans too. You'll notice 854 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 1: Democrats never seem to slip up on this. Who is 855 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: the Democrat Supreme Court appointee you know, from a Democrat 856 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:55,680 Speaker 1: administration that turned out to be really republican? Doesn't happen. Meanwhile, 857 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: you go back and look at Reagan and George H. W. Bush, 858 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 1: something to be they're putting in there into the federal 859 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 1: in the Supreme Court turn out to be leftists, activists 860 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 1: and judges robes. Never happens the other way. I'm not 861 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 1: making it up. Think about it. Who is it? You know? 862 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 1: So to Mayor liberal, Kagan liberal, Ginsburg liberal. They're all liberals, 863 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 1: liberals and in lockstep with liberalism. I mean, never disappoint 864 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,440 Speaker 1: the party, faithful of the Democrats. Really not anything important, 865 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 1: I should say. On some more minor stuff, procedural things. 866 00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: People have a different view, but anyway, the judiciary, not 867 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,720 Speaker 1: just Kavanaugh and Gorsich, but the judiciary at the federal 868 00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,160 Speaker 1: and district court level, or at the district court level, 869 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 1: I should say, an appeals court that being changed in 870 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 1: the way that it is right now, and the kind 871 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: of judges that Trump is picking. This is where his 872 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 1: outsourcing decisions a bit to people who know more and 873 00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,520 Speaker 1: and he can trust on which judges to pick, has 874 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 1: been a good move in the federalist society, etc. So 875 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: on the upside, Spicy gets through very important news item 876 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 1: for you here, the show Dancing with the Stars has 877 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 1: Sean Spicer on as a contestant. You remember Sean Spicer. 878 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:23,280 Speaker 1: He was White House Press Secretary for a short time 879 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 1: and was perhaps best known well was was in a 880 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,919 Speaker 1: pop culture since, best known for the Melissa McCarthy send 881 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,200 Speaker 1: up of him, impersonation of him, and also because he 882 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 1: was the one who came out and saying that the 883 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,800 Speaker 1: inauguration was the biggest and most attendant inauguration ever and 884 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 1: that was a that was a bad look. It just 885 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 1: it didn't didn't come come off well at all. But 886 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:54,399 Speaker 1: I'm glad to see that he's he's a he's a nice, 887 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 1: nice dude. I've bumped into him a few times at 888 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,280 Speaker 1: the Trump Hotel in DC, where it's really the GOP 889 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 1: clubhouse where a lot of people hang out. I hear 890 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 1: they might be selling it, by the way, which is 891 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 1: kind of a bummer, because if you want to have 892 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 1: really overpriced drinks in a space that plays Musaic twenty 893 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,239 Speaker 1: four to seven, Trump Hotel is definitely the lobby. There's 894 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 1: definitely the place you want to do it. The I 895 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 1: don't know if it's flombade bacon or like flamed bait whatever. 896 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 1: They take a blowtorch to the bacon there and they 897 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:28,480 Speaker 1: have these hanging bacon strips and I'm telling you it 898 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 1: is amazing. I mean, they do. They do bacon right 899 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 1: at Trump Hotel. So I give credit where it's due, 900 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,880 Speaker 1: always one of the mantras of this show. But for 901 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, our pop culture correspondent here as producer Mark 902 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 1: and producer Mark, I do have to ask you, first 903 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 1: of all, have you ever seen have you ever seen 904 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars, because I have not. I've seen clips. 905 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 1: I've seen clips too. Have you ever actually watched the show? 906 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:57,160 Speaker 1: I think watches. It's pretty popular show apparently. Yeah, I 907 00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 1: think my main man. Tucker Carlson was on at one point. So, 908 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,120 Speaker 1: I mean, like they came asking the buckster, But I 909 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 1: would have you ever ballroom dance? I don't think of course, 910 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 1: I took some ball on dancing growing up. I had 911 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 1: Debbie tomp Balls to go to my friend as an escort. 912 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 1: Oh so you were going to escort? This is what 913 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,000 Speaker 1: you're saying to a Debbie tomp Ball. We were sixteen. 914 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,759 Speaker 1: But I would just point out that that spicy is 915 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,560 Speaker 1: my understanding the worst in terms of actual dancing skill. 916 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,560 Speaker 1: My dancing skills, by the way, I don't know. I 917 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,800 Speaker 1: don't even know if America could handle these funky moves. 918 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 1: But spicy true true, don't that's a that's an accurate thing. 919 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 1: Then I don't know if they can handle it. I 920 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,759 Speaker 1: don't think I can vocalize the face I just made. Yeah, yeah, 921 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:40,920 Speaker 1: we do need to get a camera for you get 922 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 1: as our producer, Mark, Well, we'll work on that. But 923 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: so what I want to know is are people pushing 924 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 1: him through as a joke or they pushing him through 925 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,720 Speaker 1: out of some kind of Trump solidarity. At this point, 926 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 1: it's got to be for the humor, right, They gotta 927 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:56,480 Speaker 1: you know this is like when you used to have, 928 00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 1: remember your student council elections. There was always a candidate 929 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 1: at my school growing up who would run who was 930 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,319 Speaker 1: like the kid who basically lived in the tension, and 931 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,480 Speaker 1: all the teachers thought was just like, you know, a 932 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: class clown, cut up, bad kid who did bad Not 933 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:13,840 Speaker 1: bad kid, but you know the kid who was always 934 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 1: misbehaving and getting into trouble. You're describing me, Oh really, 935 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 1: definitely the class you were that kid. Oh yeah, not 936 00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,439 Speaker 1: in attention all the time, but I was a clown. Yeah, 937 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,399 Speaker 1: that's surprises nobody. Um, yeah, you got away with it though, 938 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,279 Speaker 1: right I did. Yeah, So I just I would think 939 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: that this is a little bit like that where they're 940 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 1: they're voting for him specifically, as it's almost like a 941 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,719 Speaker 1: protest vote against Dancing with the Stars. It's like that 942 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,759 Speaker 1: guy on American Idol, I forget his name that got 943 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,520 Speaker 1: through because he was hilarious. Was that the the the 944 00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,400 Speaker 1: the William Hung. Yes, yeah, he became a star. Sang 945 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: he sang in his I remember this back then? He 946 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 1: sang Yang by Mary Ricky Martin. Yeah, that was fantastic 947 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,000 Speaker 1: but terrible, And then you know he put it on 948 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,799 Speaker 1: an album by the way, Yeah, no, I heard it. 949 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 1: Look you gotta pan idol credit. I was just the 950 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 1: Nashville of the weekend, Love you Nashville, and there was 951 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:05,440 Speaker 1: there were the people to I was like, who are 952 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,320 Speaker 1: the biggest country music stars? I asked, Nashville locals? Actually 953 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,919 Speaker 1: a radio host, I asked, U uh, Clay Travis what 954 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,919 Speaker 1: he what he thought about it? And and he named 955 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,439 Speaker 1: all these different I said, Oh, Carrie Underwood's really carry 956 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 1: Underwoods like a big deal in Nashville. Yeah, because she's 957 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 1: married to the former captain of the Nashville Predators. Is 958 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 1: that a thing? I didn't know that. But she's still 959 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: a big deal form her music come on. Oh of 960 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 1: course for her music as well, but she's also like 961 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 1: over here. She was always my favorite. I like Kelly Clarkson, 962 00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:37,800 Speaker 1: but I don't know, I feel like she didn't reach 963 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 1: her true attend I saw Carrie at the garden once, 964 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 1: like Justin Guarini had his day. Remember that guy I 965 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 1: used in the movie From Kelly to Justin. They made 966 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:52,920 Speaker 1: a movie after the first season American Idol. Oh, it 967 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 1: was so bad. I didn't see it. I saw previews, 968 00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 1: but man, it was so bad. But hey, you gotta 969 00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 1: grab that money while you can. You know, I think 970 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,320 Speaker 1: the only season I watched was when Clay Aikin and 971 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 1: up stutter. I used to watch a Kanto with my parents. 972 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,440 Speaker 1: It was like a bonding experience of this show. We 973 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,760 Speaker 1: could in the early days. In the early days of 974 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 1: that show, it was a phenomenon. It was. It was amazing. 975 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 1: And some of the people they had come in and 976 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: the whole Simon callick, Oh, I'm a British guy and 977 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,440 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just like a little mean, but you'll still 978 00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,640 Speaker 1: love me anyway, like that whole thing.

And then the stars coached them a 982 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 1: little too theatrical for me. I'm an original guy, you know. 983 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 1: I said it was popular. That doesn't mean I know 984 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm not as I'm not as into it.

Well. What 993 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to tell y'all also is that the new 994 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:18,800 Speaker 1: movie elm el Camino, Yes, is terrible, so boring. I 995 00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,160 Speaker 1: haven't seen anything. I have to watch it just because 996 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 1: you really like just an episode, a long episode of 997 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 1: Breaking Bad. It's not really a movie. It's like if 998 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:32,520 Speaker 1: they added one more episode two Breaking Bad, but with 999 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,520 Speaker 1: episode no it ended perfectly like why did they do this? 1000 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:38,400 Speaker 1: Why do they have to at least make it a 1001 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 1: spinoff so I can ignore it. It's very sad, but 1002 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:43,760 Speaker 1: I've got a lot going. I mean, I've got a 1003 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 1: book to write, but which is you know that's a problem. 1004 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 1: But I'm watching The Americans right now and also checking 1005 00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,280 Speaker 1: out a fair amount of Oh I will be watching 1006 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,479 Speaker 1: Peeky Blinders. Did you see the spin off of Breaking Bad? 1007 00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,520 Speaker 1: At Better? So? I thought it was a little boring. Really, 1008 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,200 Speaker 1: I saw the first season. I didn't want to be 1009 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 1: on the first season. Season after season one gets so 1010 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,040 Speaker 1: much better. It really. I have not seen the most 1011 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,640 Speaker 1: recent season because it's not on Netflix or any because 1012 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 1: I think my man dave Reeboy told me that he 1013 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 1: also really liked Better Call Saul. I loved it, the 1014 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:15,680 Speaker 1: thing with the brother and it can't go outside and 1015 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 1: all that. Don't know. I just was like, what is this? 1016 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,919 Speaker 1: It gets so much better right day on. I'm gonna 1017 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 1: watch based on producer Mark's recommendation here and if it's terrible, 1018 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna make fun a producer Mark. Course. Yeah. But anyway, 1019 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:33,160 Speaker 1: so so Sean Spicer, he got through, and I guess 1020 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:34,959 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to watch an episode of this show 1021 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,160 Speaker 1: now now that now that the because the Spicy phenomenon 1022 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,280 Speaker 1: is turning into its own things. I'm sure they put 1023 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 1: clips out on ABC. Just watch. I've seen a couple 1024 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:43,480 Speaker 1: of the small, but I want to see that. I 1025 01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 1: gotta watch the Who show. I don't even know how 1026 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,360 Speaker 1: this works. Like it's a professional dancer with the not 1027 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,320 Speaker 1: professional dance. Yes, I believe, so I could see the 1028 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 1: professional dancers. That'll be kind of fun. I appreciate the technique. 1029 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 1: What you yeah, that's it? Yeah. So anyways, Spicy, I 1030 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 1: guess we gotta do it? Should we should we join 1031 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,560 Speaker 1: the vote for Spicy train. I don't know, maybe could happen. 1032 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 1: I have also started to perhaps be more candid talking 1033 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,680 Speaker 1: about what I describe and what I believe to be 1034 01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,920 Speaker 1: the elephant in the room about my campaign. What is 1035 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:19,720 Speaker 1: that electability? What are your electability? You know? Essentially, is 1036 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,160 Speaker 1: America ready for a woman and a woman of color 1037 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 1: to be president of the United States? America was ready 1038 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,040 Speaker 1: for a black man to be president United State, and 1039 01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,480 Speaker 1: this conversation happened for him. There is a lack of 1040 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:37,640 Speaker 1: ability or a difficult a difficulty in imagining that someone 1041 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 1: who we have never seen can do a job that 1042 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,640 Speaker 1: has been done, you know, forty five times by someone 1043 01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 1: who is not that person. I gotta tell you, I 1044 01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 1: really don't like this analysis, this view of things that 1045 01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is offering up. And we've heard it many 1046 01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 1: times before. We heard it from Hillary. Is the country 1047 01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 1: ready for a woman? In this case with Kamala Harris, 1048 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: is this is the country ready for a president who 1049 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 1: is a minority woman? The answer is yes, Okay, we're 1050 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:17,360 Speaker 1: ready for it. The American people aren't. I know, Democrats 1051 01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,960 Speaker 1: have all convinced themselves that we're so racist and closed 1052 01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 1: minded and unless we agree with them on everything, then 1053 01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 1: we're okay. But if we're if we have any other 1054 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 1: thoughts about anything, oh, we're such terrible people. These Americans 1055 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,480 Speaker 1: are so awful, So much racism in this country. When 1056 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,840 Speaker 1: every American I know, every person that I know, regardless 1057 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,760 Speaker 1: of political affiliation, if you said, hey, there's a candidate, 1058 01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 1: the candidate shares all of your ideas on all major 1059 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:47,520 Speaker 1: policy issues, and it's just really inspiring and great. But 1060 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 1: the candidate has fill in any demographic profile you want 1061 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:58,400 Speaker 1: and any gender you want. I guarantee you that anybody 1062 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,000 Speaker 1: that you do in your life, you'd be like, yeah, 1063 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 1: on who cares great, doesn't matter, you know, white, black, Hispanic, Asian, 1064 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, pick something out, you know, male, female, whatever 1065 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:16,520 Speaker 1: it may be, if you like the person as a person, 1066 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,160 Speaker 1: if you think they're a compelling politician, if you agree 1067 01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 1: with them on policy. The vast I'm not saying, of 1068 01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,200 Speaker 1: course they're stupid racist everywhere in every country all over 1069 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 1: the world, not saying it doesn't exist, but the vast, vast, 1070 01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 1: vast majority of Americans of voters, you know, I would say, yeah, 1071 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 1: ninety nine out of one hundred, maybe maybe nine out 1072 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:38,640 Speaker 1: of ten. If you want to give yourself a little leeway. 1073 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,040 Speaker 1: We have noe, no problem voting for a woman, no 1074 01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,680 Speaker 1: problem voting for minority, And we just went through eight 1075 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:47,920 Speaker 1: years of a president who was a minority, and it's 1076 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,919 Speaker 1: almost like we're supposed to pretend that, you know that 1077 01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:52,960 Speaker 1: that didn't have any meaning. It did. Country is still 1078 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 1: just as racist as it was. Come on, It's just, 1079 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's such a self serving narrative, and especially 1080 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,360 Speaker 1: in this case with Gamala Harris, it is such a 1081 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:12,920 Speaker 1: self serving narrative because she's dramatically underperforming because people just 1082 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,000 Speaker 1: here's the thing, and I see this among deat I'm 1083 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 1: not speaking about this as a Republican. What my feeling, 1084 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, my least favorite candidate, it's Betto because he's 1085 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,640 Speaker 1: just like, it's like he just reads the comments on 1086 01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,520 Speaker 1: the Huffington Post and he's just like, yo, I just 1087 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,560 Speaker 1: want to like comment and I just gonna tell everybody 1088 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:33,040 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna take all your guns. And America's like 1089 01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 1: super racist. But I'm not racist, but America is like 1090 01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 1: so racist, So Betto is the worst. But from what 1091 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:45,520 Speaker 1: I see from Democrats, people I know and follow and 1092 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:53,320 Speaker 1: interact with, they're all really unimpressed with Kamala Harris. They 1093 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 1: really do not like the campaign that she has run. 1094 01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 1: So is that who's Is that the fault of sexism 1095 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,040 Speaker 1: or racism or is it the fault of Kamala Harris 1096 01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 1: for not doing a good job? The same thing with Hillary? 1097 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 1: You know, which is it was it a big reason 1098 01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,720 Speaker 1: to vote for Hillary that she's a woman, or was 1099 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,680 Speaker 1: it a big hindrance to her winning the election that 1100 01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 1: she's a woman? Oh well, it depends on whether she 1101 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,920 Speaker 1: wins or not. I guess right, And that's the way 1102 01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,520 Speaker 1: the analysis always goes. Well, it depends on whatever's most 1103 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 1: politically useful for her at any point in time. I 1104 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,960 Speaker 1: just I find it. I honestly and truly find this. 1105 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 1: It's so boring, it's so typical. She has not run 1106 01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:36,600 Speaker 1: a she has not run a campaign in this case 1107 01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:44,120 Speaker 1: with Kamala Harris. By way, Tulsi Gabbert is outperforming Kamala Harris. 1108 01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:49,800 Speaker 1: Tulsi Gabbert is also I believe qualifies a minority female 1109 01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:54,800 Speaker 1: unless I'm misunderstanding something, And she doesn't complain about this, 1110 01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,080 Speaker 1: so I think the complaints are just a way of 1111 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 1: self justifying a weak campaign. But on the on the 1112 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:06,840 Speaker 1: other side of political correctness these days. You do have 1113 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:11,640 Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle with his most recent special, The Name of It, 1114 01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm actually forgetting, but it was do you remember the 1115 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,840 Speaker 1: name producer? Mark? No, I don't remember that. Whatever, it's good, 1116 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,160 Speaker 1: go watch it if you haven't seen it. Look, there's 1117 01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,200 Speaker 1: some stuff that's edgy, there's some stuff that you might 1118 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:25,240 Speaker 1: even be a little uncomfortable with. Exactly, it's comedy, deal 1119 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 1: with it. He's got to push the boundaries a little 1120 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 1: Bit's why comedy is so bad right now. In general, 1121 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,800 Speaker 1: nothing is allowed to be funny. No one's allowed to 1122 01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,080 Speaker 1: make a joke. You're at to laugh either, oh can't laugh? 1123 01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,040 Speaker 1: But what about a fuck? I'm doing a bad own 1124 01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,840 Speaker 1: Prussian and I'm just like, hey, I just want to know, like, 1125 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 1: am I the single biggest hypocrite in the race? And 1126 01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:47,880 Speaker 1: then Bernie's like, no, you don't have the biggest. I'm 1127 01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 1: the biggest. I got three houses, I'm a millionaire. Why 1128 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,240 Speaker 1: are you doing? But I just like really don't understand 1129 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,040 Speaker 1: why the American people then just don't like open their 1130 01:06:55,080 --> 01:07:00,200 Speaker 1: hearts to better. Uh. I was I even saying, oh, yeah, 1131 01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,720 Speaker 1: so you can make fun of politicians, that's okay. There 1132 01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 1: are very few other people you can make fun of 1133 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 1: and get away with it. And one of my big 1134 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,640 Speaker 1: frustrations is that I wish that I could do different 1135 01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 1: fun accents here on the show, but I can. Basically 1136 01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:18,840 Speaker 1: can I can reliably and without fear of dramatically negative consequence, 1137 01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 1: do accents of public figures and people from America, you know, 1138 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:33,440 Speaker 1: parts of America, and European majority or European countries, and 1139 01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 1: maybe like Australia and some you know, the English speaking 1140 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 1: countries outside of America. That's it. Can't do accents from 1141 01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:42,040 Speaker 1: different parts of the world. Can't do you know, any 1142 01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:45,360 Speaker 1: any sketch. You look at Robin Williams wouldn't have even 1143 01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,160 Speaker 1: had a comedy career if you were alive today, because 1144 01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:49,800 Speaker 1: he wouldn't been able to do any things that he 1145 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:54,280 Speaker 1: did that made him famous. Not allowed. Can't no jokes, 1146 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,640 Speaker 1: no Asian accents, no South Asian accents, East Asian accents. 1147 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:01,960 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think i'd be able to. You 1148 01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 1: can't do a Latino accent. You can't do any of 1149 01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:06,560 Speaker 1: these acts, you know all, to do any accents because 1150 01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 1: I'm making make doing an accent is terrible. Oh, it's awful. Okay, 1151 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,440 Speaker 1: I seem unless you know, like I said, I can 1152 01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,280 Speaker 1: do Bernie, you can do better. I can do Russian, 1153 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,240 Speaker 1: I can do Italian. And those are some places. You know. 1154 01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 1: I make fun of Irish people all day, but that's 1155 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,479 Speaker 1: an English people. That's about it. But Dave Chappelle was 1156 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:28,559 Speaker 1: asked about comedy and political correctness, and I just I 1157 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,719 Speaker 1: particularly enjoyed his response, would you please play clip eleven? 1158 01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:36,400 Speaker 1: Producer mark anolitical recorrectness has his face his place. Excuse me. 1159 01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:38,720 Speaker 1: We all want to live in a polite society. We 1160 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,680 Speaker 1: just have the kind of work on the levels and 1161 01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:42,760 Speaker 1: coming to an agreement of what that actually looks like. 1162 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,919 Speaker 1: I personally am not afraid of other people's freedom of expression. 1163 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,080 Speaker 1: I don't use it as a weapon. It just makes 1164 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 1: me feel better. And I'm sorry if I heard anybody, 1165 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,639 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. Yah yaha, Yeah, everything I'm supposed 1166 01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:56,320 Speaker 1: to say. I like that. I want to start doing that. 1167 01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,880 Speaker 1: You know, every time, for example, the left puts for 1168 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 1: ord a veteran to criticize, to tear down President Trump, 1169 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,519 Speaker 1: or be part of the soft coup effort to destroy 1170 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,439 Speaker 1: the president, I want to say, you know, YadA da YadA. 1171 01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,160 Speaker 1: Of course, respect the service and all that, all the 1172 01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,080 Speaker 1: things I'm supposed to say. Now, can we talk about 1173 01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 1: the issue? You know, like, now, can we can we 1174 01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,360 Speaker 1: just assume the things that that, you know, we'll now 1175 01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 1: have to have to say to establish that we're a 1176 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 1: good person before we talk about the issue. And I 1177 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 1: think the same thing is is kind of true with 1178 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: comedy now too. You know, it's like, okay, yeah, so 1179 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,320 Speaker 1: I make some jokes. I don't want to offend anybody, 1180 01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 1: YadA YadA, YadA, Like, you know, can we just all 1181 01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,680 Speaker 1: be adults about this? Unfortunately the answer is no. But 1182 01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 1: I want the I want the YadA YadA YadA right 1183 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,120 Speaker 1: where I can just say, hey, you know, all the 1184 01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 1: stuff that you already knew about me, blah blah, YadA YadA, 1185 01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:46,960 Speaker 1: I hate all the terrorists, but let's talk about this 1186 01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 1: issue or blah blah blah. You know, I believe in 1187 01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:54,519 Speaker 1: the Constitution, and I'm a strong supporter of the United 1188 01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,880 Speaker 1: States military, but I disagree with this particular general on 1189 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,839 Speaker 1: this thing or whatever it is. Welcome back to my team. 1190 01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,880 Speaker 1: We haven't talked about the story yet. I haven't really 1191 01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,519 Speaker 1: been paying very close attention to it, but it has 1192 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,480 Speaker 1: been getting a lot of headlines. You have a Democrat 1193 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:14,600 Speaker 1: member of Congress who has resigned due to a I 1194 01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 1: guess we could just call it a sex scan. Well, 1195 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of moving parts, a 1196 01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,040 Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on here. We have Tiana Lowe, 1197 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,479 Speaker 1: commentary writer for the Washington Examiner, joining us now to 1198 01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,600 Speaker 1: tell us what Exachie went on here. Tiana, great to 1199 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 1: have you back, Hi Buck, thanks for having it all right, So, 1200 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 1: so who is this now soon to be former member 1201 01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:38,160 Speaker 1: of Congress and what the heck happened? So Katie Hill 1202 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:43,559 Speaker 1: was representing a formerly a very Republican district of Los 1203 01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:48,599 Speaker 1: Angeles County out Usine Valley, and then she's a diehard 1204 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,680 Speaker 1: progressive pro Medicare for all that she amounted to a 1205 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:56,679 Speaker 1: part of Trump's or the supposed new wave of twenty eighteen. 1206 01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:02,080 Speaker 1: Now red State, the conservative news site. They wrote a 1207 01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 1: story over a week ago that showed foes and text 1208 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:13,040 Speaker 1: messages indicating that Hale had had one affair with her 1209 01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 1: female campaign staffer and then another affair with an actual 1210 01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:25,560 Speaker 1: staffer in her congressional office. Hale, who is openly bisexual, 1211 01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:30,240 Speaker 1: apparently engaged the campaign staffer another, a twenty two year 1212 01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,479 Speaker 1: old woman in a thruffle with her husband like a 1213 01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:37,880 Speaker 1: polyamorous three way relationship now on its face, you know, 1214 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,639 Speaker 1: if they want to do polyamory. I don't think that 1215 01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 1: her voters would have a problem with that. The issue 1216 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,760 Speaker 1: is that, you know, a twenty two year old in 1217 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:50,200 Speaker 1: a relationship with someone more than a decade her senior 1218 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 1: who was also her boss, is a bit problematic. And 1219 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,040 Speaker 1: especially the texts that were released by Red State indicated 1220 01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 1: that the that the campaign staffer abused in the relationship 1221 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:07,320 Speaker 1: and called Hill toxic. And the photos, brother, do we 1222 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,599 Speaker 1: know where the photos came from? And and I saw 1223 01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,680 Speaker 1: some conservatives you were saying that they felt like the 1224 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,160 Speaker 1: photos should not have been published or what can you 1225 01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:16,680 Speaker 1: tell us about that? And what do you think about that? 1226 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:22,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I agree whoever leaked the photos does belong 1227 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:26,799 Speaker 1: in jail because it violates revenge porn statutes in most states, 1228 01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,720 Speaker 1: including California. And it's possible that it was the ex 1229 01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,840 Speaker 1: husband who she's now going through divorced with. You know, 1230 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,360 Speaker 1: the photos should not have been leaked. However, it is 1231 01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:41,640 Speaker 1: of national interest if she was having a relationship with 1232 01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:46,360 Speaker 1: two of her subordinates, one of which violated House ethics 1233 01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:48,640 Speaker 1: rules that were passed just last year. You know, the 1234 01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:51,800 Speaker 1: House agreed that you that members of Congress are not 1235 01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,160 Speaker 1: allowed to have relationships with the subordinates, and for obvious reasons. 1236 01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean, this is one where the Meto movement was 1237 01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 1: very necessary. We do have to understand that there are 1238 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,720 Speaker 1: an abusive power that has involved when you have the 1239 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:06,000 Speaker 1: power to hire and fire people. And this is a 1240 01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,200 Speaker 1: part of the reason why conservatives cared about both Clinton 1241 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,879 Speaker 1: and Monica Lewinsky. Um, but those are two separate issues, 1242 01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,400 Speaker 1: and now that the story is out there, yes, resigning 1243 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:17,360 Speaker 1: was the right thing to do. Did you notice a 1244 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 1: slowness from many of the major outlets to cover because 1245 01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:23,920 Speaker 1: I know you've been writing about this from the beginning. 1246 01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,400 Speaker 1: Was there a sense that you had that this was 1247 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,600 Speaker 1: just getting less attention than it would have had the 1248 01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:34,559 Speaker 1: party affiliation of Katie O Congressman Katie Hill been different. 1249 01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:37,400 Speaker 1: Or do you think that they that this story grew 1250 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:41,760 Speaker 1: naturally as more information came out, and that the complaints 1251 01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,560 Speaker 1: that I've seen from some of our somewhat fellow conservatives 1252 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,760 Speaker 1: out there that this was being suppressed or perhaps a 1253 01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,720 Speaker 1: little bit ahead of ahead of where things were. Oh, 1254 01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,559 Speaker 1: this absolutely was slow walks. You know, it took a 1255 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,559 Speaker 1: week for the story to gain traction. If this were 1256 01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:00,880 Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw, there were photos of him nude rushing the 1257 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:04,599 Speaker 1: hair of one of his campaign staffers, this would be 1258 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:09,960 Speaker 1: primetime News, twenty four hour pearl clutching. Again. I'm not 1259 01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,320 Speaker 1: saying that revenge porn is good or acceptable, or that 1260 01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:17,280 Speaker 1: you know that we should be focusing on the lasciviousness 1261 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,600 Speaker 1: of the story. But the fact is that, you know, 1262 01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:22,280 Speaker 1: the mainstream media I had no time, had no problem 1263 01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 1: salivating over the fact that I believe it was a 1264 01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:29,280 Speaker 1: Republican Congressman Joe Burton's much to resigned after his ex 1265 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,960 Speaker 1: paralm war were attempting to extort him with nude photos 1266 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,160 Speaker 1: and wound up. I believe she released them, and that 1267 01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,479 Speaker 1: was the mainstream media story, and no one was calling 1268 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 1: him a victim when clearly he was. Do you think 1269 01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,639 Speaker 1: that there's also a problem at the left? Now we're 1270 01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,080 Speaker 1: talking to Tiana Low, everybody, she's a commentary writer at 1271 01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,360 Speaker 1: the Washington Examinery. You can also follow her on Twitter 1272 01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,479 Speaker 1: at Tiana Low. Do you think there's a there's an 1273 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,920 Speaker 1: issue that the left runs into, or how do you 1274 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,320 Speaker 1: think they handle? It was clearly there's an issue. How 1275 01:14:56,360 --> 01:15:00,680 Speaker 1: do you think they handle and the problems complexities that 1276 01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:04,400 Speaker 1: come up for them in dealing with women in power 1277 01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:07,639 Speaker 1: in workplace situations in the era of Me too, which 1278 01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:11,400 Speaker 1: has so clearly up to this point been almost entirely 1279 01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,840 Speaker 1: about men abusing positions of power. What do you think 1280 01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,519 Speaker 1: are some of the problems they run into and the 1281 01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:21,439 Speaker 1: application of the me too standard? Well, again, this is 1282 01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 1: you know, the me too movement isn't about just exerting 1283 01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 1: third wave feminism, because women are capable of being aggressors, 1284 01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 1: women are capable of lanning. It's about looking at power 1285 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,680 Speaker 1: structures and caring of an evidence. And the fact is 1286 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,000 Speaker 1: that the evidence here was ample and showing that she 1287 01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,760 Speaker 1: I mean again, so he'll denies the affair with the 1288 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:44,760 Speaker 1: staffer who works for her in Congress or looked for 1289 01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:48,800 Speaker 1: her in Congress, and she's besign, But the evidence indicates 1290 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,439 Speaker 1: that she had not one, but two affairs where she 1291 01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:55,360 Speaker 1: had the power to hire and fire people. And I mean, 1292 01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,120 Speaker 1: when it's two, it's clearly a pattern. And yes, she 1293 01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,400 Speaker 1: should absolutely be held up to account, much as I'll 1294 01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,559 Speaker 1: Frank and Law. Are you so resigning was the right move? Yes? 1295 01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:06,760 Speaker 1: Huh yeah, there we go. So do you think there's 1296 01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:08,840 Speaker 1: anything that comes after this though? Is there anything else 1297 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 1: we should be looking out for any any changes in 1298 01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,760 Speaker 1: the way Congress will handle this stuff going forward? Well, 1299 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:18,160 Speaker 1: I think in the way that the media jumped to 1300 01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:24,360 Speaker 1: a turn out all their actually bag Daddy was courageous 1301 01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,519 Speaker 1: for blowing himself up in front of his three children 1302 01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,479 Speaker 1: and killing them in the black. Oh we talked about 1303 01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,000 Speaker 1: Max earlier in the show. He's a lunatic. But keep going. 1304 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,439 Speaker 1: I think I think just in the way Max Boot realized, 1305 01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:37,360 Speaker 1: Oh wait, no one else agrees with me because this 1306 01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,320 Speaker 1: story is insane. Like the last twenty four hours, we've 1307 01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 1: gotten a bunch of sympathetic coverage of Hill and whatnot, 1308 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,679 Speaker 1: and I think everyone in the rest of the country 1309 01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 1: realizes this isn't about a feminist, and this isn't an 1310 01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:53,240 Speaker 1: attack on a feminist. This is in me too story 1311 01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 1: and there's no reason why Hill should be given special treatment. 1312 01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,840 Speaker 1: I think that that much is finally apparent. Now I 1313 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:00,960 Speaker 1: know you're a California name. I want to switch gears 1314 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:02,799 Speaker 1: for a second. Well, we we're talking about a California 1315 01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:07,720 Speaker 1: congresswoman too. But do you have an opinion on the 1316 01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:11,840 Speaker 1: the the debate over one whether the fires, because you're 1317 01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,559 Speaker 1: right now, there's all this news footage, right because big 1318 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,600 Speaker 1: fires gets people to click on things. That's just the 1319 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:18,720 Speaker 1: simple reality. A lot of news footage, a lot of 1320 01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:20,439 Speaker 1: coverage of this. They've got a couple of bad fires 1321 01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 1: going in Los Angeles area, I believe, and up in 1322 01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:26,240 Speaker 1: Sonoma County too. Do you have an opinion on why 1323 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,599 Speaker 1: this is happening or whether there's state's mismanagement to where 1324 01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:33,639 Speaker 1: anything else plays a role in this. Yes, so obviously 1325 01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:37,519 Speaker 1: climate change is a factor, but a big one does 1326 01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:39,760 Speaker 1: have to do with how so and so there are 1327 01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,120 Speaker 1: two factors involved in the state and county governance. So 1328 01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,160 Speaker 1: the state government is probably the most to blame because 1329 01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:49,599 Speaker 1: they don't do controlled for us fires. They don't spend 1330 01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,400 Speaker 1: enough money, you know, I mean, La County one and 1331 01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:57,200 Speaker 1: four out of every ten Angelinos on medical Medicaid medicare, 1332 01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:00,000 Speaker 1: yet they don't they aren't willing to spend enough mone 1333 01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:03,640 Speaker 1: me on you know, patrolling the actual safety and preemptively 1334 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:08,080 Speaker 1: doing controlled burns. But then also there is apparently an 1335 01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 1: issue when and I don't know the semantics of it. Bucks. 1336 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,679 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into too much detail, but 1337 01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,200 Speaker 1: it looks like there's a little bit of corruption between 1338 01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,760 Speaker 1: pg and E, the energy company that is right now 1339 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,519 Speaker 1: having to do blackout, little blackout. It looks like there 1340 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,719 Speaker 1: is a little bit of corruption between PGINI and Governor 1341 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,320 Speaker 1: Gavin K. Newsom, Like I think that PGINI donated to 1342 01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:31,680 Speaker 1: Newsom's campaign, and uh, I mean, it's everything out there 1343 01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,639 Speaker 1: is quite corrupt. I would certainly blame more than anyone 1344 01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,920 Speaker 1: the state government. At what point does the at what 1345 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 1: point do is there a critical mass of Californians that 1346 01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 1: just recognize that, apart from politics, their state government is 1347 01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,920 Speaker 1: a disaster and there needs to be some change. Are 1348 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,759 Speaker 1: they close to that or is that never going to happen? 1349 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:54,680 Speaker 1: What you know, because I mean if you look at 1350 01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:56,160 Speaker 1: this from even from the East coast, I'm here in 1351 01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:57,760 Speaker 1: New York where we have you know, may or more 1352 01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:01,439 Speaker 1: on the Blasio running things. But yeah, if we see California, 1353 01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 1: we see all this stuff going on, We're like, why 1354 01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,840 Speaker 1: can't anybody understand that some of this at least is 1355 01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:09,599 Speaker 1: the result of crappy government decisions? Do Californias just think 1356 01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:10,920 Speaker 1: that this is the way it asked to be, or 1357 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:12,720 Speaker 1: is there a sense that they're going to cross the 1358 01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:17,719 Speaker 1: tipping point? I mean, California, the supposedly most progressive country 1359 01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 1: in the States, has a Genie coefficient closer to a 1360 01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:24,200 Speaker 1: South American country than any rent state. You know, the 1361 01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:28,880 Speaker 1: income inequality is terrible. The racial divisions are from a 1362 01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:33,800 Speaker 1: city perspective or not great. An issue there is that 1363 01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:38,040 Speaker 1: the California State Republican Party has basically given up. If 1364 01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:42,560 Speaker 1: you compare how the Republican Party in Texas treats minorities 1365 01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:46,600 Speaker 1: in those outreach and how they perform quite well versus California, 1366 01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:50,799 Speaker 1: you know, the difference is astounding. So it will take both, 1367 01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:55,240 Speaker 1: I think a collapse, I mean the next ressession. The 1368 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 1: debt problem in California is good, prove monumental, but it's 1369 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,840 Speaker 1: you look at. It will take the state government having 1370 01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:04,559 Speaker 1: a week up call in terms of like the exodus 1371 01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:07,160 Speaker 1: in the state that's happening right now, and then also 1372 01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:11,200 Speaker 1: the California Republican Party rebuilding and storming out good candidates. 1373 01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:15,080 Speaker 1: All Right, we'll have to wait for that. It might 1374 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:18,240 Speaker 1: be a while. Yeah, Tiana Loo everybody Washington examin or 1375 01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:19,880 Speaker 1: check out. Well, what's your next piece going to be on? 1376 01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:24,679 Speaker 1: Or have you not decided yet? I haven't decided yet 1377 01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:28,479 Speaker 1: keeping tabs on this Ukraine thing. So we'll see. All right, 1378 01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:30,759 Speaker 1: We'll go to Watchington Examiner dot com. Look for Tiana 1379 01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,519 Speaker 1: Low follow on social media Twitter and Facebook and stuff. Gianna, 1380 01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:38,320 Speaker 1: thanks for joining, Thank you buck. Let's talk about Medicare 1381 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:43,200 Speaker 1: for All for a moment, shall we? Oh? Yes, primary 1382 01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:47,719 Speaker 1: policy idea of the Democrats right now, the single biggest 1383 01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:51,240 Speaker 1: debate in the country over a true policy issue. And 1384 01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,280 Speaker 1: there is a bipartisan group that has just looked at 1385 01:20:54,320 --> 01:21:01,280 Speaker 1: Medicare for all and guess what, folks, It is too 1386 01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:06,400 Speaker 1: much money. The only ways I mean, if you're just 1387 01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:08,519 Speaker 1: looking at this as a pure function of the numbers, 1388 01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:12,600 Speaker 1: the only ways to get anything close to funding for 1389 01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,839 Speaker 1: Medicare for all, And that's assuming you don't have spikes 1390 01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:16,800 Speaker 1: and usage, because now people just show up like, oh, 1391 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 1: I'll go to the doctor. I'll go to the doctor. 1392 01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:27,000 Speaker 1: Who cares? Would be if you instituted crippling taxes on everybody? 1393 01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,920 Speaker 1: This is what this piece today is Medicare for All 1394 01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:35,280 Speaker 1: study funding Medicare for All with tax and the riches impossible, 1395 01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:39,040 Speaker 1: according to this study is a bipartisan budget watchdog report 1396 01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:43,600 Speaker 1: that was just released, and here are some of the 1397 01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:49,760 Speaker 1: most worthwhile findings. Quote. There's not enough annual income available 1398 01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:53,040 Speaker 1: among higher earners to finance the full cost of Medicare 1399 01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:57,599 Speaker 1: for All on a static basis. Even increasing the top 1400 01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:00,960 Speaker 1: two income tax rates blind to individuals making over two 1401 01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,479 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year and couples making over four 1402 01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:07,439 Speaker 1: hundred three per year to one hundred percent would not 1403 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:13,439 Speaker 1: raise thirty trillion dollars over a decade. An accompanying chart 1404 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:17,360 Speaker 1: in the study lists the tax the rich funding option 1405 01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 1: as impossible. The options for financing Medicare for All without 1406 01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:28,559 Speaker 1: increasing taxes are similarly immoderate. The CRFB says the federal 1407 01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,719 Speaker 1: government would need to cut the non health federal spending 1408 01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:35,479 Speaker 1: by eighty percent in order to pay for Medicare for 1409 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:40,160 Speaker 1: All without increasing taxes. This would require get ready for it, 1410 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:44,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun, cutting Social Security benefits from approximately 1411 01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:49,000 Speaker 1: eighteen thousand dollars to about thirty six hundred dollars each year, 1412 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:53,320 Speaker 1: and cut troop numbers wait for it, from one point 1413 01:22:53,439 --> 01:23:00,480 Speaker 1: three million to two hundred and seventy thousand, so truly 1414 01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,960 Speaker 1: slash and burn the military down to numbers that would 1415 01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:06,840 Speaker 1: be unrecognizable to America for the last couple hundred years, 1416 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:17,519 Speaker 1: and make social security benefits far less for people. And 1417 01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,160 Speaker 1: this is just there's only so many ways you can 1418 01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 1: try to move these numbers around. You can try to 1419 01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:27,559 Speaker 1: rebalance them, cut here, slash there, tinker around the edges. 1420 01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:32,800 Speaker 1: And then you might say, well, what about modern monetary 1421 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:36,680 Speaker 1: theory buck that I say, oh, they looked at that 1422 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:42,880 Speaker 1: as well. Quote deficit financing Medicare for all would be 1423 01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:46,719 Speaker 1: far more damaging to the economy, according to report, assuming 1424 01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,920 Speaker 1: that such a massive increase in the debt would not 1425 01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:53,679 Speaker 1: royal financial markets or lead to high inflation, we estimate 1426 01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 1: that one one hundred and eight percent of GDP increase 1427 01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:00,120 Speaker 1: in the federal debt would shrink the size of the 1428 01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:04,840 Speaker 1: economy by roughly five percent in twenty thirty, the equivalent 1429 01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:08,759 Speaker 1: of a forty five hundred dollars reduction in per person income, 1430 01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:14,559 Speaker 1: and far more than that in the following years. You 1431 01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:17,400 Speaker 1: can't pay for this with the rich, and you can't 1432 01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 1: pay for this without massive tax increases. And if you 1433 01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:24,960 Speaker 1: try to pay for it by just adding to our 1434 01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:30,160 Speaker 1: already out of controlled debt. Guess what you're going to creter. 1435 01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:34,200 Speaker 1: You're going to create the economy. And that's assuming that 1436 01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:37,880 Speaker 1: there's not just a crisis that comes up that would 1437 01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,880 Speaker 1: make everybody much poorer and worse off and all the 1438 01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:42,960 Speaker 1: rest of it. But you know, I remember I was 1439 01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,559 Speaker 1: at I was a politicon talk with people, and they 1440 01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:50,479 Speaker 1: these democrats on stage with me. They think you're crazy, 1441 01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,519 Speaker 1: or they think I'm crazy because I look at this 1442 01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:55,360 Speaker 1: and I see the numbers, and I say, this is 1443 01:24:55,400 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 1: not a good idea. There is a faith based component 1444 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:03,840 Speaker 1: in medicare for all. Remember a lot of people who 1445 01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 1: are big time statists tend to be a lot of 1446 01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:13,479 Speaker 1: them tend to be atheists or people of no particular faith. 1447 01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:17,600 Speaker 1: And the state, then is what it would be in 1448 01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:21,840 Speaker 1: loco dais in place of God. The state is in 1449 01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:23,960 Speaker 1: place of God. The state plays the role of God 1450 01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:27,960 Speaker 1: in many people's lives, and therefore they have no problem 1451 01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,120 Speaker 1: with the state growing all the time and becoming a 1452 01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 1: more prominent part of everyone's lives and having more power, 1453 01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:36,680 Speaker 1: because that's just going to be better for all of us. 1454 01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:42,200 Speaker 1: But there's a deep ideological need that many people have 1455 01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:46,439 Speaker 1: who are supporting this Medicare for All proposal to remove 1456 01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:54,080 Speaker 1: any market based incentives, any individual choice from this equation 1457 01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:56,160 Speaker 1: and make it all about just the government writing at checks. 1458 01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:57,920 Speaker 1: The government's writing at checks. And to this, I also 1459 01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:01,559 Speaker 1: just want to say health it's a very personal thing 1460 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,160 Speaker 1: for all of us. We all make decisions that affect 1461 01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:05,759 Speaker 1: our health. I mean, you know, I know, for example, 1462 01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:09,000 Speaker 1: I should eat less chocolate and like not drink tequila 1463 01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:11,240 Speaker 1: and mescal during the week, but like, sometimes I want 1464 01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:14,160 Speaker 1: some chocolate, you know, sometimes you know you want you 1465 01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,240 Speaker 1: don't want any decide salad, you want to order a franchise. 1466 01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:17,920 Speaker 1: We're all making decisions all the time about our health 1467 01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:19,840 Speaker 1: that affect our health, I should say, And it's really 1468 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,000 Speaker 1: more about habits than I know, that's silly to say 1469 01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:24,680 Speaker 1: any eating any one thing, but it's about habits that 1470 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:29,680 Speaker 1: we have. But we also have to understand that the 1471 01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,960 Speaker 1: choices that we make about which doctors to see about 1472 01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:36,760 Speaker 1: are about how we're going to try and maintain a 1473 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,519 Speaker 1: certain level of health. Those are going to affect us 1474 01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:42,040 Speaker 1: no matter what the government does or sets And I 1475 01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:45,679 Speaker 1: think this is where there needs to be a bigger 1476 01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:49,519 Speaker 1: discussion about how people how do people stay healthy In America, 1477 01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,439 Speaker 1: We're always talking about previousing conditions and people with terrible diseases, 1478 01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,400 Speaker 1: and that's not where most healthcare spending is. Preseasing conditions 1479 01:26:55,439 --> 01:27:00,360 Speaker 1: actually a very small part of healthcare spending. I mean, 1480 01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:02,800 Speaker 1: put aside whether the people are covered or not. I 1481 01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:04,680 Speaker 1: just mean that that's a very very small segment of 1482 01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:06,960 Speaker 1: the population, a true pre existing condition that would have 1483 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:15,080 Speaker 1: been uninsurable before Obamacare. Most healthcare spending is lifestyle disease related, 1484 01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 1: most of it, or old age, and those are things 1485 01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:27,799 Speaker 1: that require an approach of people educating themselves, making smart choices, 1486 01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:30,400 Speaker 1: making a decision, and a different approach from the medical 1487 01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:35,320 Speaker 1: community about how to encourage healthy behaviors earlier and younger. 1488 01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,320 Speaker 1: And you know this is it's just such a bigger 1489 01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:39,080 Speaker 1: issue than Oh, the Governm's gonna write the check for everything. 1490 01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:42,559 Speaker 1: Everything's gonna be fine, you know what I mean. If 1491 01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:45,759 Speaker 1: the government is going to be writing the check for 1492 01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:48,000 Speaker 1: your treatments because you have you know, cirrhosis of the 1493 01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,880 Speaker 1: liver for example. You know that, Okay, someone's writing the checks, 1494 01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:52,439 Speaker 1: but it would have been much better to figure out 1495 01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:54,960 Speaker 1: how to stop that from happening. Stop the drinking that 1496 01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:57,800 Speaker 1: led to that perhaps this is just it's more of 1497 01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,680 Speaker 1: a philosophical discussion. But medicare for all. It's not going 1498 01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:02,280 Speaker 1: to solve all the problems, is what I'm saying. You 1499 01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:03,880 Speaker 1: all know that I find the border to be one 1500 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:05,800 Speaker 1: of the most important issues facing the country. I think 1501 01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:08,120 Speaker 1: it's fascinating and I think it's one of the areas 1502 01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:10,760 Speaker 1: that we see the greatest amount of obvious dishonesty from 1503 01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:14,240 Speaker 1: the mainstream media in their coverage of it. And that 1504 01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:17,120 Speaker 1: then brings me to a story that I saw it. 1505 01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:21,000 Speaker 1: I thought, why isn't this getting more attention? And you know, 1506 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:25,439 Speaker 1: and it's because the media is completely invested in the 1507 01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:29,559 Speaker 1: Russia Ukraine. Trump is a trader, Trump needs to be impeached. 1508 01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:32,760 Speaker 1: All that that just dominant. That takes all the oxygen 1509 01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,599 Speaker 1: out of the room. But this story is important. This 1510 01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:39,880 Speaker 1: story matters in a way that I think people should 1511 01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:44,080 Speaker 1: be much more aware of, much more cognizant of. And 1512 01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:48,080 Speaker 1: it has to do with the Trump administration at the border, 1513 01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:51,599 Speaker 1: testing or getting ready to test. It's I think they've 1514 01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:53,800 Speaker 1: started to do it, but they're keeping it pretty close 1515 01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:59,759 Speaker 1: hold right now. How it's working. Rapid Asylum Review, which 1516 01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:04,400 Speaker 1: would mean that now border patrol and this is going 1517 01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:06,280 Speaker 1: to change the process, and oh, we know there's going 1518 01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:08,280 Speaker 1: to be all these lawsuits. But here's the basics of it, 1519 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,920 Speaker 1: the whole scam that and it was a scam. The 1520 01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:14,720 Speaker 1: scam that has been run by predominantly Central American but 1521 01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:17,519 Speaker 1: not entirely Central American illegal immigrants in the United States, 1522 01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:23,200 Speaker 1: illegal aliens in the United States is based on exploiting 1523 01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,880 Speaker 1: the inability of the system to process people in a 1524 01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:33,120 Speaker 1: timely enough fashion, so that what ends up happening is 1525 01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:35,880 Speaker 1: they're releasing the interior of the United States and released 1526 01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:41,200 Speaker 1: with the promise that they will come, that they will 1527 01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:43,479 Speaker 1: come back and show up further hearings. And as we know, 1528 01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:45,719 Speaker 1: once you're in the United States, you established more roots 1529 01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:48,000 Speaker 1: and then you have, you know, all these lawyers that 1530 01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:51,280 Speaker 1: are free that will come and pro bono represent you 1531 01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:54,000 Speaker 1: against the immigration courts, and they're all these so it 1532 01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,120 Speaker 1: makes it very unlikely, very hard than any of these 1533 01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:57,799 Speaker 1: people who are coming in this we're going to be deported. 1534 01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:01,400 Speaker 1: So it became a big backed or scam to get 1535 01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:03,600 Speaker 1: in the United States. Say you're fleeing violence in a 1536 01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:05,960 Speaker 1: Central American country, Well, I mean all these Central American 1537 01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:10,280 Speaker 1: countries were talking about have very high per capita homicide rates, 1538 01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:13,880 Speaker 1: so anyone therefore could claim they're fleeing violence. And if 1539 01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:16,120 Speaker 1: anyone could claim they're fleeing violence, well THENI minus would 1540 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:18,760 Speaker 1: just allowed the entire country of Honduras do just come 1541 01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:21,840 Speaker 1: to America, and I bet a lot of them would 1542 01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:25,799 Speaker 1: if they thought they could. So we've seen this scampling, 1543 01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:29,040 Speaker 1: and the Democrats lied about this, and the media lied 1544 01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:31,679 Speaker 1: about this. There's oh, they're just there's no one lying, 1545 01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:33,840 Speaker 1: and there's no one who's scamming the system. Of course 1546 01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:36,400 Speaker 1: there were. You had thirty year old saying that they 1547 01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:38,960 Speaker 1: were seventeen, so they could come in as an unaccompanied minor. 1548 01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,880 Speaker 1: You good people renting children's they could pose as family units, 1549 01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:44,400 Speaker 1: you god, people who were reading from a script that 1550 01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:46,920 Speaker 1: they had been taught by the cartels, so they could 1551 01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:49,800 Speaker 1: get past the initial screening at the southern border. Get 1552 01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:55,960 Speaker 1: all this stuff going on, and the Trump administration at 1553 01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:00,919 Speaker 1: every turn has been stymied, has been has been slowed 1554 01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:06,439 Speaker 1: down by Democrats and leftists who are open borders but 1555 01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:08,919 Speaker 1: won't admit that their open borders. It's a very important 1556 01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:11,640 Speaker 1: thing that we must all keep in mind. Here they 1557 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:14,200 Speaker 1: just want any new shows up gets to stay, especially 1558 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:16,360 Speaker 1: from a third world, especially if you're non English speaking, 1559 01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:18,679 Speaker 1: you show up America, you should get to stay. That 1560 01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:21,639 Speaker 1: is a widespread belief on the left. And they'll say, oh, 1561 01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,479 Speaker 1: but we're all a nation of immigrants, and we're all yeah, right, 1562 01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:27,519 Speaker 1: legal immigrants. I'm not supposed to be a nation of 1563 01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 1: people who come and breaking the law. And also the 1564 01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:32,840 Speaker 1: nation of immigrants thing, are we talking about pre ye, 1565 01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:36,960 Speaker 1: post welfare state, Great Society programs nineteen sixties, all that 1566 01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,639 Speaker 1: stuff we're talking about before that or after that? Because 1567 01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,200 Speaker 1: there's a pretty there's some pretty big distinctions in there 1568 01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:47,479 Speaker 1: about the incentives for coming to this country. But the 1569 01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:50,040 Speaker 1: Trauma administration was having a lot of problem in this 1570 01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:56,000 Speaker 1: whole situation because the process was over The processes were overwhelmed. 1571 01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:57,800 Speaker 1: People knew that they were exploiting that and they were 1572 01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:01,559 Speaker 1: taking vantage. All right, So then we get to, well 1573 01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:04,040 Speaker 1: what can be done about it? And they tried this 1574 01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:07,439 Speaker 1: remain in Mexico program, Well, that would that would deal 1575 01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:10,120 Speaker 1: with the incentive in this way, if you're not if 1576 01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:11,439 Speaker 1: you come to the board. At first of all, they're 1577 01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,559 Speaker 1: illegally crossing because another way they're trying to limit this 1578 01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:15,920 Speaker 1: was to say that you have to wait at a 1579 01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:18,160 Speaker 1: portive entry. They can only process so many people that 1580 01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:20,479 Speaker 1: are port of entry every day. So then the illegal 1581 01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:23,360 Speaker 1: aliens would just cross illegally New America, but then claim 1582 01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:26,800 Speaker 1: defensive asylum secondary asylum and say, oh, no, I want 1583 01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:29,360 Speaker 1: asylum even though I came into your country illegally. And 1584 01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:31,240 Speaker 1: then they get into this process where they stay in 1585 01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:35,360 Speaker 1: America and they're never going to leave. So to deal 1586 01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:37,320 Speaker 1: with that, we'd say, okay, you're gonna claim defensive asm. 1587 01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:39,000 Speaker 1: What if we keep you in Mexico while you're waiting 1588 01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:42,680 Speaker 1: for your asylum hearings. A lot of them are a 1589 01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:45,200 Speaker 1: lot of them all of a sudden stop showing up 1590 01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:48,479 Speaker 1: because that's not what they are. That's not what they want. 1591 01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:49,720 Speaker 1: They want to be released in the interier of the 1592 01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:53,160 Speaker 1: United States. They want to be on US soil and 1593 01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:55,160 Speaker 1: then try to game the system so they can stay. 1594 01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:57,559 Speaker 1: So if you keep them on Mexican soil while they're 1595 01:32:57,560 --> 01:33:00,719 Speaker 1: waiting to get their asylum hearing, that's a big removal 1596 01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,320 Speaker 1: of incentive. Oh and the liberals fought against this and 1597 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:06,559 Speaker 1: their lawsuits and judges and you know, federal judges. Oh 1598 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:08,240 Speaker 1: you can't do that. Why can't they do that? Oh, 1599 01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:12,880 Speaker 1: you can't do that because we say so. Still waiting 1600 01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:18,160 Speaker 1: for a ninth Circuit judge to overturn Trump's killing of 1601 01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:23,240 Speaker 1: Baghdaddy under the Administrative Procedure Act unconstitutional. The killing of Baghdaddy. 1602 01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:25,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lib somewhere who's gonna say it, 1603 01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,080 Speaker 1: who's gonna try to put that through. I'm kidding, but 1604 01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:31,160 Speaker 1: only kind of. But the other the story that I 1605 01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:32,760 Speaker 1: thought was so interesting that just came out in the 1606 01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:35,920 Speaker 1: last few days is that they're now testing the administration 1607 01:33:36,120 --> 01:33:45,559 Speaker 1: is testing rapid asylum review. Rapid asylum review. Huh So 1608 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,120 Speaker 1: what this would be is a change in the process 1609 01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:53,040 Speaker 1: where instead of just doing a very preliminary credible fear 1610 01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:57,160 Speaker 1: screening by border patrol, border patrol would do a more 1611 01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:01,840 Speaker 1: extensive credible fear screening to see if somebody should even 1612 01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:05,160 Speaker 1: be let into the country to begin the asylum process. 1613 01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:08,960 Speaker 1: They probably as able to ask for some supporting documentation 1614 01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:13,599 Speaker 1: or some details of this credible fear ie people being told, Hey, 1615 01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:17,200 Speaker 1: just the cartels telling these illegal aliens just say that 1616 01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:19,320 Speaker 1: you're fleeing gang violence, and you know, if you go home, 1617 01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:22,280 Speaker 1: you'll be killed, then you'll be let into America. Well, 1618 01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:25,320 Speaker 1: if you have somebody there who's obviously Spanish speaking, who 1619 01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,320 Speaker 1: can say, all right, which gang was it, what threats 1620 01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:31,559 Speaker 1: did you receive? Did you file up police report? Why 1621 01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:33,559 Speaker 1: are they targeting you and not other people? Any you know, 1622 01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:36,439 Speaker 1: very straightforward questions. I think we all know what would happen. 1623 01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:42,800 Speaker 1: There wouldn't be answers to this because it's a scam, 1624 01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:44,880 Speaker 1: but they think that they might be able to through 1625 01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:50,720 Speaker 1: this program begin to process asylum applications in this way 1626 01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:53,240 Speaker 1: within ten days. So now you would stay in border 1627 01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:55,680 Speaker 1: patrol custody, not be released in the interior of the 1628 01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 1: United States, and get it done within ten days, whether 1629 01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:00,519 Speaker 1: or not you even can begin the ASI lem review 1630 01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:04,040 Speaker 1: process because under law, you have to establish the credible 1631 01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:06,560 Speaker 1: fear standards. So this is now saying, well, they're gonna 1632 01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:09,479 Speaker 1: put a little more, a little more teeth into the 1633 01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:12,759 Speaker 1: credible fear standard and make this something that's a real standard. 1634 01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:16,720 Speaker 1: This could be a game changer the southern border. The 1635 01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 1: crossing is already down, but this could be a game changer. 1636 01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:22,439 Speaker 1: You know, it's going to be fascinating to watch all 1637 01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:26,519 Speaker 1: of these Democrats and open border activists and media virtue 1638 01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:29,960 Speaker 1: signalers who are going to say this is terrible. They're 1639 01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:33,439 Speaker 1: not getting their due process. Why is in a due process? 1640 01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:39,400 Speaker 1: Why should lawyers show up and tell these people what 1641 01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:41,559 Speaker 1: to say so that they can try to game the 1642 01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:44,800 Speaker 1: system and stay in America. They should be able to 1643 01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:47,720 Speaker 1: answer straightforward questions about whether or not that why they 1644 01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:49,880 Speaker 1: say they have a credible fear standard, or why they 1645 01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:54,120 Speaker 1: meet that credible fear standard. Folks, the game looks like 1646 01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:56,439 Speaker 1: it may be up soon here, and I think we 1647 01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:58,880 Speaker 1: all need to remember that there were many people, many 1648 01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:04,719 Speaker 1: prominent people, millionaires, the media, and others, who were willing 1649 01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:06,360 Speaker 1: to just go along with the lies in this because 1650 01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:08,240 Speaker 1: it made them feel like they were good people. And 1651 01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:11,000 Speaker 1: that's what the Democrats wanted, That's what the left wanted. Oh, 1652 01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:13,599 Speaker 1: we're also open minded, we have open hearts about all 1653 01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:16,840 Speaker 1: this stuff. No one's lying, we've just taken people. Well, 1654 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,040 Speaker 1: does everyone get to say no? Not everyone gets to 1655 01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:21,240 Speaker 1: say just everyone who comes and lies to border patrol 1656 01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,439 Speaker 1: about credible fear. Just every family unit that shows up 1657 01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:28,560 Speaker 1: explicitly to exploit a law meant to prevent the exploitation 1658 01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:32,440 Speaker 1: of children through trafficking. But now with families, they realize 1659 01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:35,160 Speaker 1: that we can't separate the kids, so they keep showing up. 1660 01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:39,080 Speaker 1: The good faith and good will of the American people 1661 01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:41,040 Speaker 1: was being taken advantage of by a lot of people 1662 01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:42,559 Speaker 1: that are Southern border, and I I understand many of them 1663 01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:44,960 Speaker 1: are poor and desperate, and I get that it doesn't 1664 01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:46,559 Speaker 1: make them bad people, but it doesn't mean that we 1665 01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:50,679 Speaker 1: have to continue policies that encourage that exploitation. A Trump 1666 01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:54,120 Speaker 1: administration right now is trying to shut that down. Give 1667 01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:57,000 Speaker 1: them process, and I think that that's a good thing. 1668 01:36:57,720 --> 01:36:59,720 Speaker 1: We shall see if it works. Get ready for all 1669 01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:10,920 Speaker 1: the challenge. Hey, Team Buck, It's time for roll call. 1670 01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:18,240 Speaker 1: Team Bucket.

There 1679 01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:54,640 Speaker 1: are at least two shows about this topic that have 1680 01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:58,719 Speaker 1: appeared on TV, Big Love, which ran from twenty sixteen 1681 01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:01,400 Speaker 1: to twenty eleven on HBO, and Sister Wives, which started 1682 01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:06,720 Speaker 1: in twenty ten and is still producing new episodes on TLC. 1683 01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:09,920 Speaker 1: The list of entertainment to deal with a topic on 1684 01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:13,120 Speaker 1: streaming services an alternative tech is too large to get into. 1685 01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:15,559 Speaker 1: It's kind of scary. There's always Love, Love, Love the 1686 01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:19,240 Speaker 1: show Love the hair Shield Saw Paul, Paul, you have 1687 01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:21,880 Speaker 1: great taste in radio shows as well as hair so 1688 01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:24,400 Speaker 1: thank you so much for that. Um. Yeah, but Big 1689 01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:27,679 Speaker 1: Love is about polygamy, which is I guess a little 1690 01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:35,320 Speaker 1: different than polyamorous or poly is the is the noun polyamorer. 1691 01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:37,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what you proiser, Mark, do you know? 1692 01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:39,479 Speaker 1: I mean you're about to get married, so I mean, 1693 01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:41,439 Speaker 1: I'm assuming you know this is not not an area 1694 01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:44,240 Speaker 1: that it's really across your radar all that much. Oh, 1695 01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:46,479 Speaker 1: I didn't tell you I'm getting married to different I 1696 01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:48,320 Speaker 1: could say you're getting married to a few people that 1697 01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:51,880 Speaker 1: would that would make sense. Um, that's gotta be expensive, right. 1698 01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:55,200 Speaker 1: Peoples can play about kids can you imagine having multiple wives? Oh, 1699 01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:57,960 Speaker 1: that'd be terrible expensive. You know, why would I want 1700 01:38:57,960 --> 01:38:59,760 Speaker 1: to get nagged by more than one one? How is it?

He averaged fifty points per game for 1740 01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:13,400 Speaker 1: one season and one scored one hundred points in the game. 1741 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:17,320 Speaker 1: The NBA even changed the court layout because of him. 1742 01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:19,760 Speaker 1: I believe they widened the lane so there was more 1743 01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:23,360 Speaker 1: room for penetration towards the goal without an automatic block 1744 01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:28,920 Speaker 1: by Wilt the stilt Bruce in New Orleans, probably listening down, 1745 01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:34,240 Speaker 1: hopefully down on our wonderful New Orleans radio station which 1746 01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:36,400 Speaker 1: people can listen on, which is a lot of fun. 1747 01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:39,080 Speaker 1: What do you have? What you got to say something? Well, 1748 01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:41,559 Speaker 1: I was beat about and shouldn't you know the station?

Uh done. Add 1751 01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:53,400 Speaker 1: Charlie Daniels band to your playlist. I don't know what 1752 01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:57,599 Speaker 1: that is. Who is that? I don't know. It sounds 1753 01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:02,880 Speaker 1: like a band. Yeah, sounds like a music recommendation. Yeah, 1754 01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:08,640 Speaker 1: there we go. Maureen hey Buck and producer Mark you 1755 01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:12,160 Speaker 1: men of mystery. She wrote it not me about the 1756 01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:15,599 Speaker 1: whole polyamory thing. You were sometimes conflating all the variations 1757 01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:18,519 Speaker 1: of such lifestyles. So here's some clarity for your listeners. 1758 01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:22,680 Speaker 1: Polygamy is one man with more than one wife, you know, 1759 01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:27,240 Speaker 1: I know. Polyandry is one woman with more than one husband. Oh, 1760 01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:29,479 Speaker 1: I didn't know that, and they are only with her 1761 01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:34,120 Speaker 1: and nobody else. Wait, polyander is one woman with more 1762 01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:38,040 Speaker 1: than one husband and there with her and nobody else. 1763 01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:40,240 Speaker 1: That's a thing. I don't even know. I don't even 1764 01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:41,439 Speaker 1: know that was a thing. Did you know that was 1765 01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:45,040 Speaker 1: a thing. I hadn't even heard of that. Learning new stuff, 1766 01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:49,840 Speaker 1: all right. Polyamory, however, is a total sexual free for all. 1767 01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:52,679 Speaker 1: It's one man and one woman in a relationship together, 1768 01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:54,800 Speaker 1: often married, but they're free to be with any man 1769 01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,519 Speaker 1: and woman they want to be with as many partners 1770 01:42:57,520 --> 01:42:59,639 Speaker 1: of either gender as they want. It's a total free 1771 01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,160 Speaker 1: for all, both sides of a very non monogamous pairing. 1772 01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:05,400 Speaker 1: That's polyamory. It's sad. I know about the stuff, but 1773 01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:08,160 Speaker 1: I'm a psychotherapist, so I just know about things. By 1774 01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:10,440 Speaker 1: the way. I'm grateful. That's why she knew what polyandry. 1775 01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:13,080 Speaker 1: I never that was like some that's some textbooks. That's 1776 01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:15,040 Speaker 1: some textbook level stuff. Yeah, that's like with the dusty 1777 01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:16,640 Speaker 1: books behind the doc You know what I mean that 1778 01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,160 Speaker 1: you're like, what is in there? Polyandry's in those books? 1779 01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:21,000 Speaker 1: I don't even know what that is. By the way, 1780 01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for your podcast, as you often get, 1781 01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:26,759 Speaker 1: but you often get preempted for stupid sports. I love football, 1782 01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:28,880 Speaker 1: but not if it hears if it interferes with hearing 1783 01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:31,280 Speaker 1: your voice. So the podcast assures me I'll never have 1784 01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:34,040 Speaker 1: to miss a broadcast. I saw it on Pluto TV once, 1785 01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,800 Speaker 1: but it's not as convenient as your podcast sometimes, so 1786 01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:39,559 Speaker 1: you do keep many of a safe and warm listening to. 1787 01:43:39,560 --> 01:43:42,280 Speaker 1: You're simply the best Maureen in California. Well, thank you 1788 01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:45,320 Speaker 1: so much, Maureen. And yes, remember, folks, if you're ever 1789 01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:50,680 Speaker 1: unable to listen on your local radio station, you can 1790 01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:52,559 Speaker 1: always listen to the podcast. So that's why I ask 1791 01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:55,160 Speaker 1: that you please subscribe, even if you're not somebody listens 1792 01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:57,679 Speaker 1: to a lot of podcasts, Please do subscribe the podcast 1793 01:43:57,760 --> 01:44:01,120 Speaker 1: of the Buck Sexton Show.
