Federal prosecutors are charging 2 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: dozens of people with a massive college admission scheme to cheat. 3 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: Oh my, this is going to be pretty incredible. We 4 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: get into the details, folks. You want to hear about this? 5 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: What does it say about the elites in our society 6 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: and the so called meritocracy of the university? Who got 7 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: that for you? Plus the border, the damn's love of socialism, 8 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: and so much more coming up on The buck Sexton Show. 9 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 10 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 11 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: Mag no mistake, America. You're a great American Again the 12 00:00:54,200 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy? Did buck Sexton? Now? 13 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 1: A central defendant in the scheme, WILLIAMS. Singer will plead 14 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: guilty today to charges of racketeering, conspiracy, money laundering, conspiracy, 15 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: conspiracy to defraud the United States, and obstruction of justice. 16 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: Between roughly twenty eleven and twenty eighteen, wealthy parents paid 17 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: Singer about twenty five million dollars in total to guarantee 18 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: their children's admission to elite schools, including Yale, Georgetown, Stanford, 19 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: the University of Southern California, the University of Texas UCLA, 20 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: and Wake Forest. Beyond enriching himself, Singer used that money 21 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: to bribe college officials, Division one coaches, college exam administrators, 22 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: all to secure admission for the children of his clients, 23 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: not on their merits, but through fraud. Singers Foundation purported 24 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: to be a charitable organization, but was actually a front 25 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: Singer used to launder the money that parents paid him, 26 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: of which you would then take a portion and dole 27 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: it out his bribes. Two coaches and others. Welcome to 28 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton show Man. I love it when we 29 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: get a story that we can really sink our teeth 30 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: into that is not Russia COLLUSI. It is not one 31 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: of these things that we've been covering, you know, day 32 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: in and day out for a couple of years now, 33 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: and this is one of them. This is pretty incredible stuff, 34 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: and there's some important lessons to take from all this, 35 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: just just to give you a sense we're talking about here. 36 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: So college admissions, as we know, are hyper competitive. Those 37 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: of you who have kids, you know these days, and 38 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: I don't have kids, so I gotta take your word 39 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: for it. But now these days it's like you're you're 40 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: getting them out of diapers and already you got to 41 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: think about like, oh are they going to prep for 42 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: the SATs? You know, it's just turned into this arms 43 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: race and it's out of control. And let me just 44 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: say to you that from what I have now seen 45 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: from I can't speak really as much of the generation 46 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: above me. I think that the credentialing system of the university, 47 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: which is all it is the university now, is a 48 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: credentialing system. It doesn't there is no guarantee of your 49 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: level of education. Where you go to school does not 50 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: mean you are smart, does not mean that you have 51 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: some great background that anything. I have personal and professional 52 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: experience with brilliant people who went to community college or 53 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: went to no college. And I have personal and professional 54 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: experience with people who went to Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Gale, 55 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: you name it, who were pompous idiots. So it's a 56 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: credentialing system because it's all we got, really, But when 57 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: you dig into it a little more, what you find 58 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: out is that it is imperfect at best, way beyond imperfect. 59 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: And that's when you look at legacy admissions, affirmative action admissions, 60 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: college athletics recruiting. You know, there's all these different ways 61 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: people get in being the best oboist in Northern Alaska. 62 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of ways that you can 63 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: get into these schools, and a lot of them that 64 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: do not involve being what you would think of as 65 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: the most academically capable. And remember, and don't even get 66 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: me started on this whole world. We need to have 67 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: athletic recruiting. Why these aren't minor league sports teams? Who cares? 68 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: These are educational facilities. I mean, when you think about 69 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: all the money and all the stuff that's going into 70 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: the and I know people love their college sports, but 71 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: they should be treated as minor league minor league team 72 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: and people should get paid. But we'll get into that 73 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: discussion another time. So let's get into this though, this 74 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: massive fraud that involves that's right. An actress that I 75 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: have a certain fondness for Laurie Laughlin from Full House. 76 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: She is among one of those charge those of you 77 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: who around my age. I don't care what you say 78 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: you've seen full House, all right, actresses Felicity Huffman of 79 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: Desperate Housewives, I can honestly say I have never seen 80 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: a full episode of that show. I have seen clips, 81 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: I've never watched a full episode. I do not have 82 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: to turn into my man. Card and Lori Laughlin from 83 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: Full House, they are among those who are charged. It's 84 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: a twenty five million dollar fraud where people were finding 85 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: ways to cheat to get their kids into college. Now, 86 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: the ways that they cheated were pretty amazing. Aunt Becky 87 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: from Full House, that's Lory Laughlin paid five hundred thousand 88 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: dollars in bribes, according to this indictment, and created fake 89 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: photos of their daughter as a rowing competitive crew star 90 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: to get into USC. First of all, I mean, I 91 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: didn't know that it it was that competitive to get into USC. 92 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just 93 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: five hundred grand seems like a lot. But beyond that, 94 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: I rode crew. So I just think it's funny that 95 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: somebody is photo shopping. I mean, this was this was 96 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: a an intentional fraud, photo shopping their kids so that 97 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: they can get into school. I mean, this would be 98 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: like me saying I'm in a world class climber and 99 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: just photoshopping a photo of buck with the swoop. Probably 100 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: have to put a helmet on there, you know, at 101 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: the top of kill him and Jaro or something. And yeah, 102 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: producer Mike is like five hundred k. The kid must 103 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: have not been so bright because that's a high price 104 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: for for usc. But you know, all of a sudden, 105 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: I m a climber and kill him and jar I 106 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: mean you you really have to look at some of 107 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: the stuff that these people were doing. It's amazing. There 108 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: was a coach women's soccer coach at Yale. It took 109 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars because one of the scams was 110 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: to pay off a coach. I mean, this is all 111 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: a big A lot of it was bribery. Some of 112 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: it was cheating on test taking and but but a 113 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: lot of it was bribery driven. So this one, you know, 114 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: this this one coaching group, this one person that was 115 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: at the heart of all this, the operation. Yeah, it 116 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: paid admission test administrators and so people would change the 117 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: scores they got. Oh I didn't get a twelve hundred, 118 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: I got a fifteen fifty on the SAT. They would say, right, 119 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: that's pretty easy. It's changed the number. It's just cook 120 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: the books. They would pay students to take the test 121 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: for somebody else. That's another scam that they've pulled. But 122 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: some of my favorites involved the coaches, because all the 123 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: coach has to do is say, oh, this is a 124 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 1: I want to recruit this person for an athletic team, 125 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: and that depending on the sport, like women soccer at Yale. 126 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: It's probably not enough to just wave you in, but 127 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: it's going to help a lot. Coach took four hundred 128 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: thousand dollars for that. Now, you know, you look at 129 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: this and you say to yourself. First of all, people 130 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: really want their kids to get Oh. Another one, they 131 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: really want their kids to get in the school. But 132 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: a media executive from Nevada allegedly created a a photo 133 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: of her son as a pole vaulting champion to get 134 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: him into USC. I mean, this is amazing. Yes, my 135 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: son is a world champion pole vaulter and really wants 136 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,559 Speaker 1: to go to USC. Meanwhile, the kids never pole vaulted 137 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: in his life. Another one. It has to do with 138 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: phony learning disabilities. Oh and my friends, I can tell 139 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: you from New York City this was rampant when I 140 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: was in high school, absolutely rampant. I knew so many 141 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: people who were pino good ish students, mediocre to good 142 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: students at private schools in New York City in high 143 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: school where you know, the arms race to get into 144 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: an IVY or something like an IVY was just this 145 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: was existential for people. I have to get into an 146 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: IVY except Cornell because Cornell's an IVY. But it doesn't 147 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: really count. WHOA take that one. And I know the 148 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: Cornell people, they always come at me and they call, 149 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, come at me. I know. I know. Amerst 150 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: isn't good. Amerst isn't as good as Williams. See, we 151 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: can all play these games. But they set up these 152 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: fake learning disabilities so they would have untimed testing and 153 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: then also have other provisions made for them. But here's 154 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: the beauty of the untimed testing system for people with 155 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: fake and those of you who have real learning disabilities. 156 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about you and I and you're listening 157 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: right now to a nationally syndicated radio host who was 158 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: bottom of his class in grammar school until about the 159 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: fifth or sixth grade and had had a speech impediment. 160 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: So trust me, I need an additional work, additional help. 161 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: I needed, you know, after school tutoring. I needed speech therapy. 162 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: So I'm all for making sure that everybody gets their 163 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: fullest chance and that. But I'm talking with people that 164 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: are faking again. I mean, imagine if I was going 165 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: around as a little kid pretending to have a speech 166 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: impediment so that I get out of certain classes. That's 167 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: what these people are doing. And we're talking about millions 168 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: and millions of dollars. Now do I really care about 169 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: any of this in the sense that shouldn't even really 170 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: go to prison for this? I mean, it is a fraud, 171 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: But you're defrauding college admissions processes? Is that a criminal act? 172 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: You know? If I submit a resume that's embellished for 173 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: a job and I get that job and I'm doing 174 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: the job pretty well, do they have the right to 175 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: throw me in prison because I lie to get the job. 176 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: You know, I do have a level of discomfort with that, 177 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: because some of these people are facing like really serious 178 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: federal charges conspiracy, fraud. But the bigger takeaway from all 179 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: of this, The bigger takeaway from all this is that 180 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: one our our society is just far too obsessed with 181 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: the brand names of these schools and all of that. 182 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: Right that we need to stop thinking that where you 183 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: go to college determinents. First of all, even people that 184 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: go to fancy schools will tell you that where you 185 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: go to grad school, it's much more important where you're 186 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: going to undergrad anyway, and that a lot of people 187 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: should think much more about going to a solid state 188 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: school program for undergrad and then go for if they 189 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: want to get that next credential. You know, you really 190 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: want to shoot for the stars for grad school. But 191 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: even that, people taking a lot of debt. And I 192 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: speak to with somebody who is in the media, one 193 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: because I love it, but I'm not part of me 194 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: is also I just didn't want to take on a 195 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: couple of hundred thousand dollars a loans to go to 196 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: business school. I want to do that. I want to 197 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: get paid, i want to work. I want to grow 198 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: as as an employee and as a as a professional person. 199 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm not looking to take on a lot of debt 200 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: because I wasn't really show it anyway. So on the 201 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: one hand, we need to just stop this. And you 202 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: know that I've been saying this for a long time. 203 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: This is not new. But the obsession with brand value 204 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: in these schools, it's just too much because it's not 205 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: even true. I mean, there are people who buy their 206 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: way and this is what you're seeing here. They buy 207 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: their way into these schools. They get in because of 208 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: affirmative action rules, because of legacy rules. Although no one 209 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: ever likes to hear this, the legacy admits generally have 210 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: near the same SAT scores as the overall admitted class. 211 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: They just get a nod. People don't like to hear 212 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: that because they like to think that, oh, that's what 213 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: the you know, the the affluent, you know, the rich kids, 214 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: that's their version of affirmative action. You always hear kind 215 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: of not really, I'm not saying the legacy is okay, 216 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: but at least that's more transactional. Speaking of transactional, also 217 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: to the point about this not being that criminal, I 218 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: gotta say, you know that you can get into it. 219 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you know this or not. 220 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: I know this because I knew people that their families 221 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: did this for them. You can write a check and 222 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: get into Harvard. This is well understood, and it costs 223 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: you think a few million dollars essentially, but you do 224 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: it through the Advancement Office. You do it in a 225 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: way that it's a gentlemanly bribe. Really, what's happened here 226 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: is the colleges have been cut out of it, and 227 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: other people are getting you know, the athletic coach has 228 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: taken the cut instead of the advancement office and then 229 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: putting your name on some room of a library right 230 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: for four or five million bucks. I mean you could 231 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: have You could send an illiterate to Harvard if you've 232 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: got a big enough checkbook. It's true, it's true. But 233 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: then there's the part of this I think you're really 234 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: you all see this too, and you know where I'm going. 235 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: The whole notion we have in this country that we 236 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: should be taking orders from and listening to this cast 237 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: of elites, and that their elitism comes from this credentialing system. 238 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: This has been called into question for a while, but 239 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: now we really see that they're not as special as 240 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: they think they are. They're not as amazing, brilliant, wise 241 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: worthy as we were all led to believe. In fact, 242 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: I think one of the greatest destabilizing factors in the 243 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: developed world right now, in the first world in the West, 244 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: is that because of the Internet and our instantaneous exposure 245 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: to the thoughts and acts and ideas of each other, 246 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: which can come with some certainly some drawbacks, we now 247 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: see that these are not This isn't some cast of 248 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: elites that should be running the country. That every individual 249 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: should be judged on his or her merits, not where 250 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: where they went to school, what names are associated with them. 251 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: That's not who we want to be making our decisions, 252 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: and that the elites are not nearly as skillful and adept, 253 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: not just at running this country, but at driving our culture, 254 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: at being involved in the most important ways, in those 255 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: aspects of life that we all have to live by 256 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: without getting a say in. Really, so the whole system 257 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: is up for question right now. The whole system is 258 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: up for debate. And I know that this is just 259 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: one case of this fraud, but I assure you this 260 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: is not the only one. And in many ways this 261 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: has been going on for a long time, and yet 262 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: we are all still supposed to bow. Oh, you have 263 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: a PhD in you know, women's in gender studies from Yale. 264 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: You must be really smart. No, no, not true. And 265 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: I definitely don't want you to just run the country 266 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: because of that. Maybe you're smart, maybe you're not. Kind 267 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: of all depends. I've got some more details on this 268 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: and much more coming up. Team stay with me, So 269 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: you know, you look at so many of the people 270 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: that are at the upper echelons of government, and in 271 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: increasingly it's been the case in finance for a while, 272 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: and you see that there are all these people that 273 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: they're big claim to fame is where they went to school. 274 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: This is where I also get to say, and this 275 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: is never popular, but you know, for the boomers out there, 276 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: getting into Harvard today is statistically about ten times harder 277 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: I think than getting into Harvard in the nineteen sixties, 278 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: just in terms of the numbers of applications and the 279 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: overall percentages, both the testing percentages and the percentages of 280 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: those who get in. So these now have become this 281 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: is all a globalized marketplace. Our schools are a global commodity. 282 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: People from Shanghai and people from you know, Dhaka want 283 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: to go to Harvard in Stanford and Yale and apparently USC. 284 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: I know, I'm I'm gonna get some USC. I'm just kidding. 285 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: USC is great. It's great school. I know. Although it 286 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: was funny, I can't, I cannot tell a lie. There 287 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: was a whole thing about how the federal government, in 288 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: this indictment laid out, you know, in order to you know, 289 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: because they will establish the different players in the indictment. 290 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: And they had this listing of all the schools and 291 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: it was, you know, Stanford University, a very selective private university, 292 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: Yale University a very select or, highly selective private university, 293 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: Georgetown University, a highly selective private university. USC a private university. 294 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: That actually happened in the Actually, oh no, I'm sorry. 295 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: It wasn't USC. I'm sorry, USC. I'm messing with you 296 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: too much. It was you. You see, San Diego was 297 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: the one that I think got got the got dunked 298 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: on accidentally by the federal government. UC San Diego all College. 299 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: That's what they That's what they said. It was pretty funny. 300 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: They didn't meet it that way. They didn't mean it 301 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: that way, I'm sure, but it was. It was pretty amusing. 302 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: But this is this is forcing a very necessary conversation 303 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: about you know, we need to stop thinking that these 304 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: schools are producing the leaders of the future and all 305 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: this stuff, that there's this elitism and sorting that goes 306 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: on at the top universities has become almost fetishized by 307 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: our system. And I don't know what. I can't tell 308 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: you what it means to go to one of these 309 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: schools that all these people were paying millions of dollars. 310 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: Lots of people that go to them don't have very 311 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: successful careers and don't end up being very happy, and 312 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: plenty of people that don't go to fancy schools or 313 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: college at all end up being very happy and doing great. 314 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: So it is always up to the individual. But this 315 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: just goes to show you how competitive and out of 316 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: whack the system is. Right now, he's holding the line 317 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: for America. Buck Sexton is back. The central and most 318 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: serious question in this investigation, the reason Robert Mueller started it, 319 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: is did the current president of the United States assist 320 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: the Kremlin in an attack on our democracy? And if 321 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: Mueller after two years, comes back and says I don't 322 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: have the evidence to support that charge, that's a reckoning. 323 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: That's a reckoning for progressives and Democrats who hope that 324 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: Muller would essentially erase the twenty sixteen election. It's a 325 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: reckoning for the media. It's a reckoning around the country if, 326 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: in fact, after all this time, there was no collusion. Yeah, 327 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: it's a reckoning, your darn right, it is. So I'm 328 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: hearing that there's a little bit of a delay from 329 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: the DOJ in finalizing the Muller report has to do 330 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: with a senior DJ employee who doesn't want to They 331 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: want to wait till he's gone to release the report, 332 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: but they don't want to He doesn't want to leave 333 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: until the report's been released. So there's a little bit 334 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: of a chicken and egg issue here with when this 335 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: thing's going to come out, because some of the people 336 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: at the DJ are not gonna look so good with 337 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: all of this. But I want to tell you, the 338 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: more I thought about it after our show yesterday, the 339 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: more clear it is to me that I think they're 340 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: going to impeach Trump. I'm sorry, I'm not buying this. 341 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: Oh no, we're not going to peach him. I think 342 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: this is a head fake. And let me tell you why. 343 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: They have been telling us the president is a traitor. 344 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: They have been telling us the president is a racist, 345 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: who supports neo Nazis, who supports white nationalists, who has 346 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: sexually assaulted dozens of women. I mean, they have so 347 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,239 Speaker 1: many horrific allegations against this president that is it is 348 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: truly hard to keep track of them. It's hard to understand, 349 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to remember all of them at 350 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: any given time, and now now they're going to say 351 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: that they want to be reasonable. No, no, no, no, 352 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: They just don't want to be accused of verdict first 353 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: trial later. They don't want it to be obvious from 354 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: their own statements that they've been ready to take down 355 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: Trump all along. And I have some voices to add 356 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: into the mix here to that end, and that and 357 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: that essentially what it would tell us if the Mulla 358 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: report comes out doesn't have anything and they impeach him, 359 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: and we know they're going to impeach him without finding 360 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: anything new already and their other investigations, it just means 361 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: that they were always going to impeach him, which doesn't 362 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: look good for them. It does not look like they 363 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: are being honest, which they are not. Obviously they're a 364 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: bunch of lying lunatics. But it makes it too clear 365 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: they're not being honest in this whole process. And that's 366 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: where I think you should That's where our friend Andy 367 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: McCarthy comes in play five Pelosi to carry the message 368 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: to the public that no, no, no, we're not here 369 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: just to impeach Trump. While that's going on under the 370 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: radar Madler's Committee and Shift's committee will go about the 371 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: business of trying to dig into anything that could conceivably, 372 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: in their minds be a high crime and misdemeanor. Yeah, 373 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: on the one hand, you've got Pelosi saying, oh, no, 374 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: there's not going to be there's not going to be impeachment, 375 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: and we're not going to go through that process even 376 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: though we could. But yet you have all these other 377 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: investigations going on. So this is just disingenuous. I mean, 378 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: it is very obvious what's going on here. They're trying 379 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: to one hedge their bets because what if they really 380 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: don't get anything at all from these other investigations. And two, 381 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: they have to make it seem like they are respecting 382 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: the process and going through the process and not just 383 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: jumping to the conclusion that they want at the end 384 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: of the process. They have to make it seem like 385 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: this is a real investigation and not just a political 386 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: which hunt, which is what it has been all along. 387 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: And that's where Maxine Waters, for example, is, let's just say, 388 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,479 Speaker 1: to be kind too straightforward in how she views this 389 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: to I think tell the party line correctly, and she 390 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: says that they're already there with what they need to get. 391 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: Trump play for but I believe that we have everything 392 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: that it needs to basically impeach him. Yeah, I believe that, 393 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: and you're absolutely right. We're depending on mister Muller, depending 394 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: on mister Mueller. But where we have everything we need 395 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: to impeach him, well, which is it? I need to 396 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: know which one of those things? Is what the Democrats 397 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: are actually saying here, Because if they have everything they 398 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: need them, then they're not depending on mister Muller, that's 399 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: pretty clear. But if they're waiting for Muller's report, that 400 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: means that they should respect the end result of the 401 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: Muller report if there is nothing to nothing to go 402 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: on for impeachment purposes, which I think everyone is pretty 403 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: much now expecting. And I just think it's amazing. There's 404 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: this whole industry of people the last two years on TV, 405 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: not so much on radio because thank Hevin's Conservative still 406 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: are dominant in radio, but on TV and the newspapers 407 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: and books too, people have written whole books on collusion 408 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: saying that you know that there was collusion, and how 409 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: do you write a book on a fantasy but call 410 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: it nonfiction? Well, what happens to their credibility? When do 411 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: we have a full accounting, and I would say a reckoning. 412 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: And ABC's Terry Moran at the start of the segment 413 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: called that are reckoning for all of the falsehoods, all 414 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: the lies, and the real damage that has been done 415 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: to our faith in the government institution. That everyone who 416 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: says our institutions are being undermined by Trump. No, No, 417 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: they've been really undermined by the anti Trump resistance. I 418 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: mean the anti Trump left. When it comes to Trump 419 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: decided to burn the village down to save it. That's 420 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: what they've done to the DOJ, to our federal government. 421 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: They have gone scorched earth. And now they're going to 422 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: have a turn and look and realize that, no, they 423 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: didn't save anything. So they're they're looking to establish the 424 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: new narrative here and that's where that's where the hesitation 425 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: on pulling the trigger on impeachment comes from. They have 426 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: to make it seem like they have not entirely made 427 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: up their minds. But I'm here to tell you that 428 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: they have made up their minds. I really do believe 429 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: that they will impeach this president, and I think it's 430 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: going to be on the Stormy Daniels payoff. I really do. 431 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: They're going to say that that's a campaign finance violation, 432 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: and they're gonna they're gonna go with it, and they'll 433 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: throw in some other stuff too. But that's that's the 434 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: way I see this playing out, that the left is 435 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: too crazy to be saying on this issue. That's where 436 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: I come down. We'll see if I'm right, but I 437 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: think they're too crazy to be seen. We'll be right back. 438 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: It all is part of the Trump derangement syndrome, which 439 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: has replaced policy making in the hearts and souls of 440 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: most of the Democrats, and that's the problem that they have. 441 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: I think this explains xanrear kaisil Cortez's statements that she 442 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: has made, and half the Democrats are making these statements 443 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: as well. But what really is troubling now, though, is 444 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: how socialism has found a happy home inside a major 445 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: American political party's leadership and it has become the dog 446 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: wagging the tail. That's the problem. The Democrats have the 447 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: hatred for Trump, the ideology, and if anything's going to 448 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: boost the president as reelection, it's going to be the 449 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: Democrats more than anything. This is the counter argument to 450 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: whether or not they will impeach, that the obvious and 451 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: unrestrained hatred of the Democrats as the primary animating force 452 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: of their twenty twenty hopes right, essentially Trump hatred. He's 453 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: going to be what the party is first and foremost 454 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: interested in, right that that's really what That's what they're 455 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: going to be selling, is that they hate Trump. That 456 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: makes the base. I think that makes and I shouldn't 457 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: say the base, that just makes everyone who voted for 458 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: Trump think these other people are not serious. Trump has 459 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: been imperfect. Trump has gotten into fights publicly that I 460 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: don't think he needed to, and that we're unwise. He 461 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: has surrounded himself with very sketchy people at very key 462 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: and very key positions. There's no there's no question about this. 463 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is just what's happened. And 464 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: we can talk about why that's happened another time, but 465 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: that is what has happened with the Trump administration. But 466 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of good The policies of the 467 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: administration on deregulation, tax cuts, the major policies the administration 468 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: and these things are on point. I think he's doing 469 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: a good job and I'm I am thankful, and we 470 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: have to remember this. I'm thankful every day that we 471 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: have a President Trump instead of President Hillary Clinton. I 472 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: couldn't be in this town. I couldn't live in DC 473 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: under a Clinton administration, under a Hillary Clinton administrator, any 474 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: Clinton administration for that matter, right, I just couldn't do it. 475 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: I could not be in a position where I sit 476 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: around and have to hear from all these different people 477 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: about how how great she is and how amazing she is, 478 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: when all we all know that it's a fraud, that 479 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: it's a lot that she's one. She's a fantastic example hollow. 480 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: Hillary is a perfect example of someone who has created 481 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: this resume and this these has all these credentials for 482 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: herself that when you really look at it, none of 483 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: it is impressive. It's just all branding. You know, the schools, 484 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: the where she work, the what she's done, it's it's 485 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: all an effort to build a brand. But there's really 486 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: a lot of poor judgment, ethical failings, incompetence. Look at 487 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: the rollout of Hillary Care back in the nineties, and 488 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: this is not somebody who's good at things and has 489 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: skill and expertise in anything other than the promotion of 490 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. That's really what her Hillary Clinton's career is 491 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: the self promotion of Hillary Clinton. So she is a Yeah, 492 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: I know, she went to Yale Law School, and she 493 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: went to Wellsey before that, and you know, people will 494 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: try to make this case that, Oh and and she 495 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: was a senator and a secretary of State. Well, she 496 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: was only a senator because of who her husband was. 497 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: We all know this. She's moved to New York and 498 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: ran for senator in one and she was only a 499 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: secretary of State because she had been a senator beforehand, 500 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: because of her husband is, because of her last name, 501 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: and because Obama figured that a good way to deal 502 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: with the rival the rivals in the Clinton administration or 503 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: would be Clinton administration, was to co opt her as 504 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: a Secretary of State. It made sense at the time 505 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: for him, but these are almost for her. It's largely 506 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: just a function of being pushed along because of the 507 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: dynastic nature of politics we have right now, which I 508 00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: find really annoying and I wish we could get away 509 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: from this, but it's becoming so entrenched that now when 510 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: you when you criticize that politics in this country should 511 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: not be a family business, that people should not just say, oh, well, 512 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, my dad was the governor of such and such. 513 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: So now I'm this, you know, important thing or that 514 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: important thing. You run up into this power structure where 515 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: where people will you know, they'll they'll come at you 516 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: on this because more and more we see that they're 517 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: just famous last names that pop up in politics. And 518 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: when you say things like nepotism is bad and senator 519 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: or president should not be an inherited position in any way, 520 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: you're starting to find that that's an unpopular point of 521 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: view in the corridors of power, which as another disconcerting, 522 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: disconcerting thing that is that is going on, to be sure, 523 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: but all along, you know, the Trump derangement first approach 524 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 1: of the Democrats, I do think is going to be 525 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: a useful thing for Trump's reelection prospects. I think that 526 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: the hatred of the Democrats because they can't control it. 527 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: You know, they'd like to think that they'll make whyse decisions, 528 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: wise choices on all of this, but really they're going 529 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: to have to deal with the pink hat wearing, you know, 530 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: science and women's march, Antifa loving, lunatic left. There are 531 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: going to be a lot of these different groups that 532 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: will demand in order for them to be the little 533 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: grassroots army of whoever the Democrat candidate's going to be. 534 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: They're going to demand that there is vengeance against Trump 535 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: for all that he's done. Now, there is just one 536 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,959 Speaker 1: little thought exprimer, What has Trump done? Let's really think 537 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: of this for a second. Other than poking the media 538 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: and the eye, which is one of my favorite things 539 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: that he's done because it was necessary and really only 540 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: he could do it the way that he has, what 541 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: has Trump done that justifies this derangement? You know that 542 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: they made such a big deal. They made such a 543 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: big deal about the Muslim ban, for example, which is 544 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: not a Muslim ban, it's a few Muslim countries. It's 545 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,479 Speaker 1: you know, they made a big deal about the Muslim ban. Okay, um, 546 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: well what exactly has resulted from that? Why aren't they 547 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: still so upset about that? I mean, the Supreme Court 548 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: said it's it's legal, so we know that they were 549 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: wrong about that, But well, why why have they just 550 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: forgotten about this? Because who does? It really affect very 551 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: few people and it has not been some big deal. 552 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: You know, you go down the list of things that 553 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: they've been so angry about, and you say to yourself, 554 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: would any reasonable person respond the way the left has 555 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: responded in these cases, with just such a level of 556 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: insane fury and hatred. What what? What has Trump done? 557 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: That's Obamacare is still place. Yeah, the individual mandates not there, 558 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: but Obamacare is still the law. The border is worse 559 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: than it was under the Obama administration. It's just true. 560 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: It's not really Trump's fault, but it's true. The border 561 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: is worse. We'll talk more about that in the next hour. 562 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: You know, the economy is doing well, Yeah, okay, he 563 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,959 Speaker 1: gave tax cuts for corporations. Does that really get them 564 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: so upset? What is it? When you look at it, 565 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: It's really just that he challenges their sense. He challenges 566 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: the left sense of their righteousness, and he is an 567 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: impediment to their power. And that's all you have to be. 568 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: You just have to stand in the way of the left. 569 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: You don't have to be an odious person. You don't 570 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: have to be evil or mean or pushing policies that 571 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: they think are particularly problematic in one way or another. 572 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: You just have to be in the way and they 573 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: will want to destroy you. So that's where the Trump 574 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome really comes from. It's yeah, I mean Trump 575 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: is that particularly difficult for them. It's they just can't 576 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: handle that Trump is who he is and has gotten 577 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: away with what he's gotten away with, and that they 578 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: threw everything at him that they could and have not 579 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: been able to take this guy down. And in that sense, 580 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: he's kind of a beacon of hope to the rest 581 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: of us. I really mean it. You know, if Trump 582 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: can take everything, the left has a special Council probe 583 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: all you know, the exposes the Billy Bush tape, these complex, 584 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: multi fascinated efforts to ruin and destroy him from a 585 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: very powerful left wing apparatus in this country across media 586 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: and politics and academia. And if they haven't been able 587 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 1: to destroy him, maybe it's possible for us to win. 588 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 1: Maybe the country doesn't have to be overtaken, especially the 589 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: culture of the country, by the radical left. Maybe we 590 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: don't have to accept that. Maybe it's not inevitable that 591 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: they'll continue to be in control of what they have 592 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: been in control of. You know, young people, we'll see 593 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: the light. Earlier colleges won't be indoctrination factories for reflexive progressivism. 594 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: Hollywood will start to make movies that inspire and that 595 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: people enjoy instead of that preach and preen. Trump is 596 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: at least hope that that could happen. I don't know 597 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: if he'll be able to manage those things during his 598 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: time in office, but at least we know that the 599 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: left's ability to isolate and destroy any target they want. 600 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: It's not one hundred percent because they have not been 601 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 1: able to do it to Trump yet, and they have tried. 602 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: Got a big hour or two coming up, immigration, the 603 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: expansion of the voter pool. Part of that is through immigration. 604 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: By the way, the Democrats plans for twenty twenty, how 605 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: far left they've gone, and so much more.

Young people should also 630 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 1: have a say and who represents them for your consideration. 631 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: Amendment Number one to seven, which would lower the minimum 632 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: voting age in federal elections from eighteen to sixteen years 633 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: of age, restore voting rights to felon who pay their 634 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: debt to society. We must help more Americans to participate 635 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: in their democracy. We need to work to remove barriers 636 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: to voting. You are seeing the left strategy here unfold 637 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 1: in real time. You are seeing it day by day, 638 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: and it is abundantly clear that the expansion of the 639 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: voter pool is going to be a major push four 640 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: Democrats in twenty one in real and in just rhetorical terms. 641 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: Let me explain. They've moved far left as a party, 642 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: no question about it. Democrats now don't argue with us 643 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 1: about what the price of certain things should be. They 644 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: want to buy something else Entirely. We are not fighting 645 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: for the same future for this country. We have very 646 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: different visions for what America looks like from from at 647 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: least the far left. You know, it used to be 648 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: that they just wanted, you know, more dollars spent on healthcare, 649 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 1: and you know, they wanted the systems that we have 650 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,439 Speaker 1: to just grow. But now they're looking for I meaning 651 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: the government systems. Now they're looking for fundamental transformation of 652 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: the relationship between citizen and state under the rubric of 653 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: climate change and with their open borders logic and all 654 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: of these different hard left ideas coming together at one 655 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: time socialism, they want a different country. They think they're 656 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: fighting for a different country now. They're not trying to 657 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: preserve and this is where you can see the breakdown 658 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: between the left and conservatives. We are trying to conserve 659 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: the country that we have based upon the wisdom of 660 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: the past and the knowledge of what is reality in 661 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 1: our presence. We're not trying to change the world based 662 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: upon a fantasy, a fiction that we've created and have 663 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: sold to enough people to give us power. That's what 664 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: the left does. We say, here's what's happening. Here is 665 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: the truth of this situation or that situation that the 666 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: government has to handle and deal with, and how do 667 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: we best, how do we best, if not solve it, 668 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: at least address the problem or involve ourselves in this fight. 669 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: But Democrats are saying, you know what, maybe we don't 670 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: really do the focus on winning back Let's just say 671 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: what it is. They don't think they can win back 672 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: white we're class voters. With some of the candidates that 673 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: they're putting forward, I do not believe. But they think 674 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: that if they have Elizabeth Warren, for example, she will 675 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: win back previous Obama voters who voted for Trump in 676 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen in states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and others. 677 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: I do not believe that they are confident in that. 678 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: And so what are they doing now? They are trying 679 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: to move They're trying to move the goalposts essentially on 680 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: who's able to vote. And now they're trying to figure 681 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: out who's able to vote and change who's able to vote. 682 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: So oh yeah. By the way, Congressman Scott Perry, I 683 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 1: saw him in DC and he listens to the show sometimes. 684 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: I was very nice of him to say, speaking of Pennsylvania, 685 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: shout out to Congress and Perry in his office, But 686 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: he looked at the truth thing is, the Democrats feel 687 00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: like if they can just change who votes, and they 688 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 1: can change who wins, and this is what they've been 689 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: doing all along. They want to give felons and non 690 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: citizens and sixteen year olds the right to vote. That's 691 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: not going to make this a country with wiser decision making. 692 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: Let's be clear about this. They don't want to give 693 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: felons back all their rights. You know, they're not saying 694 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: that felons should have gun rights, even for non look 695 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: for violent felons. Yeah, I know. I'm all in agreement 696 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 1: with you can own a gun if you're a violent felon. 697 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: If you are somebody that was writing dad checks, I 698 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: think you should be allowed to have a firearm. I 699 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: don't think that that, you know, I don't think that 700 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: you should be barred forever for somebody who you know, 701 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: lied to the FBI about a white collar crime. I 702 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: think you should be able to own a firearm. That 703 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: doesn't that doesn't make you a dangerous society. But they 704 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 1: know that, you know, it's it's not just who it's 705 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 1: it's not just who counts the votes, but also who 706 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: can vote. That they're very interested in, and winning over 707 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: voters is something that is a little bit more complicated 708 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,320 Speaker 1: for them that they would rather just change the numbers. 709 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at four million felons in Florida 710 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,280 Speaker 1: will be able to vote in the next election. And 711 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: you've already seen the beginning of what I think is 712 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: going to become a more mainstream position. And this I've 713 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: been right on this stuff all along, folks. They are 714 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:30,320 Speaker 1: going to advocate for illegal aliens to begin to vote 715 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: in local elections across the country, which it would just 716 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: grows the power base of the Democrat left. And they 717 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 1: also are going to want permanent residence screen card holders 718 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: who cannot vote to be able to vote. They're going 719 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 1: to try to expand the electorate dramatically, and even if 720 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: they can't do it, you might say, buck, the Republicans 721 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: will never go for that, and they would have to 722 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 1: be legislation passed. Yeah, but this is where their party 723 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: is headed, because it's all logical from their perspective. I mean, 724 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: they operate from a place of illogic, but it makes 725 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 1: sense to them. If they don't think there's anything wrong 726 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: with being illegal in this country, if they want all 727 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: the illegals to stay, if they don't think that illegals 728 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 1: have done anything wrong, why shouldn't illegals be able to vote? 729 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 1: You know, if there's no difference between somebody in the 730 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 1: eyes of the Democrat Party right now, there should be 731 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: no difference in the way that government treats somebody who 732 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: just ran across the border from El Salvador, then you 733 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,839 Speaker 1: or I or anybody. I mean, I'm assuming a lot 734 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: of you are listening were born here, and a lot 735 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 1: of you probably weren't, but most of you were born here, 736 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 1: You or I who are citizens of this country. The 737 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: Democratic Party has no real preference for us over those 738 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: who have just arrived illegally. Mind you, I'm not talking 739 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: about legal immigrants. That's a different category. We could talk 740 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,359 Speaker 1: about that another time. They don't view illegal immigration as bad. Well, 741 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 1: if you don't view legal immigration is bad. If in 742 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: fact you want to encourage illegal immigration, why not extend 743 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: more rights to them. The Hillary Clinton campaign website was 744 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: openly advocating for the expansion of Obamacare access in the 745 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: last election to illegal aliens. So they were saying, oh, 746 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 1: they won't get subsidies, but they should be able to 747 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: get healthcare on the exchanges. Once you get them in 748 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 1: the exchanges, Who thinks that that there would be state 749 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 1: action to make up the shortfall and essentially give them, 750 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: give illegal aliens the same subsidies that you get anywhere else. 751 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: You can never, never trust the Democrats to adhere to 752 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 1: a principle. When there is power at stake, they will 753 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: always find a way to maximize the benefit to them. 754 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 1: They do not care. They do not care what rights, 755 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:57,920 Speaker 1: what processes, what history, what they will They will trample 756 00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: on all that with a smile, as long as it 757 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: been if it's their political party. I mean, I can't 758 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: think of the last time the Democrats voluntarily held themselves 759 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: back because of oh, I don't know the constitution or 760 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: the law. When they really wanted something. It's not something 761 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,880 Speaker 1: they tend to do. Expanding the voter pool though, this 762 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: is going to be a big agenda item for them 763 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,919 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty. You wait and see, you're there's gonna 764 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 1: be more noise about this one. Global Verification Network is 765 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 1: the only dual certified veteran owned background investigation and vetting 766 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: company for all of your background investigation needs.

Right, you don't want 775 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 1: this stuff going overseas. You don't know who's looking into that, 776 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: You don't know who in control.

Tell 782 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 1: him Buck sex INCENTI we're sitting down here fighting this 783 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 1: fight on the front line. Whether you agree with him 784 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,840 Speaker 1: or don't, at least we have a president who's supporting 785 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: law enforcement, who is fighting for border security. Cartel will 786 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: they don't have rules they're claimed by. When you say 787 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 1: there's not a problem, there's out absolutely a problem in 788 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 1: the cartel has no problem crossing any of those lines. 789 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,800 Speaker 1: Name me one thing that Democratic leadership has offered to 790 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: slow this search down, to save lives crying across the border. 791 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 1: They have offered no fixes. The only one who's offering 792 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,280 Speaker 1: fixes here is President Trump, and every time he tries something, 793 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 1: he gets sued. It's true. At least Trump is Trump. 794 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: And I know I've been a little hard on the 795 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,359 Speaker 1: President recently with the border issue, but I think I've 796 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 1: been fair. But at least we know that the President 797 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: is engaged on this issue and supports law enforcement and would, 798 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 1: if he had his way, have a secure border. The 799 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,879 Speaker 1: other side, as my buddy Tom Holman points out, there, 800 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: they oppose enforcement at every level. They want looser regulations 801 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 1: at the border itself. They want looser regulations when it 802 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 1: comes to immigration courts. They want interpretations of statute that 803 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,800 Speaker 1: will favor illegals, they want interpretation of existing all I 804 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: mean everything that they are doing, Everything that they do 805 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,240 Speaker 1: and believe in here when it comes to the border, 806 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: shows that they would like to have the status quo continue. 807 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 1: There are nothing they will vote for what they call 808 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: more border security, but it's really just more people to 809 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,800 Speaker 1: be at the border to process those who are showing 810 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: up now. So border patrol is before our very eyes 811 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: right now, folks, being transitioned from a frontline law enforcement 812 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:25,959 Speaker 1: organization into a kind of international Red Cross and soup 813 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 1: kitchen for whoever can get via foot by walking to 814 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 1: our southern border. Border patrol is now increasingly taken off 815 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: the law enforcement job which is necessary for stopping human trafficking, 816 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 1: ventonel and other drugs being smuggled into the country and 817 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,799 Speaker 1: all kinds of illegal activity that is going on at 818 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 1: our border right other things getting smuggled in. They're being 819 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,919 Speaker 1: taken off of that mission for what they're now calling 820 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: the humanitarian mission. And the only thing that the Democrats 821 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:02,080 Speaker 1: are willing to fund. The only thing the Democrats are 822 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 1: willing to fund when it comes to our border is 823 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:10,760 Speaker 1: more of the humanitarian mission, meaning people to process. They 824 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 1: don't want to they don't want to make it easier 825 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: to deport, they don't want to make it easier to 826 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 1: catch or capture. They want more individuals there to bring 827 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,439 Speaker 1: food and clothing and provide shelter and process in those 828 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,439 Speaker 1: who are showing up. So what they've done is they've 829 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 1: turned the entire southern border into a massive port of entry. Essentially, 830 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 1: that's where we are. And this is something that should 831 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 1: concern everyone in the country because, as I was reading 832 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,359 Speaker 1: yesterday from that piece in The Atlantic, which occasionally has 833 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 1: some good writing, if we don't have a nation state, 834 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, we don't have elections worthy of the name, 835 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,279 Speaker 1: and our whole country starts to feel like, what's really 836 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 1: going on here? If we don't have sovereignty, if we 837 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: don't have control over our borders, are we even really 838 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,760 Speaker 1: a country anymore? Are we just slowly becoming something else? 839 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:03,280 Speaker 1: And not even that slowly. This is where it's important 840 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: that everyone knows that the problem is only going to 841 00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 1: get bigger. We get the National Border Patrol Council President 842 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 1: Brandon Judd saying the following play eight. If we do 843 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: not get control of the border, we're going to continue 844 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: to see more FETE and al more opioids, more deaths 845 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 1: here in the United States. We have to control the 846 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 1: border and these migrants, they're being used as pawns. And 847 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 1: that's the reason why this is so important. We need 848 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,719 Speaker 1: our politicians to have the political will to say we 849 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 1: need to secure the border once and for all. We 850 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 1: do need to secure the border. But if we're going 851 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,759 Speaker 1: to be honest about that, and we are, because this 852 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: is the freedom hunt, we are further from a secure 853 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,239 Speaker 1: border now then we've been in a long time that 854 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:51,840 Speaker 1: small loophole from the Obama administration about bringing children that 855 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 1: are from non contiguous country. So it doesn't work if 856 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,919 Speaker 1: you're a Mexican or Canadian, but if you come from 857 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,879 Speaker 1: a non contiguous country and you have a child, and 858 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,760 Speaker 1: the way that that is processed, and especially the speed 859 00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 1: with which those people are processed when they arrive in 860 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:10,839 Speaker 1: large numbers. They have now found a seam a week 861 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,359 Speaker 1: seemed to exploit in our system, and they are just 862 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:18,400 Speaker 1: ramming through now as many people as possible. That's an 863 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 1: insecure border, and we are going to see dramatic consequences 864 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 1: from this if we do not get this under control. 865 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 1: This was a piece from CNN, and now I remember recently. 866 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 1: I mean it was not long ago when if you 867 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 1: even brought up the possibility of there being disease issues 868 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: with this nearly unrestrained migration that is happening into this country, 869 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,399 Speaker 1: you were a racist and a bad person. Yeah, you're 870 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 1: a racist and a bad person if you even bring 871 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 1: this up. More than two thousand people in immigration and 872 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 1: Customs enforcement custody are being quarantine amid an outbreak of 873 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 1: months and other Jesus. That's according to CNN, all right, 874 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 1: two thousand people. It's actually twenty two hundred and eighty 875 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:12,520 Speaker 1: seven as of March seventh, have a contagious condition including mumps, 876 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,360 Speaker 1: chicken pox, the flu. And that's just what we know about. 877 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: That's what we know about. Once you really dig into this, 878 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll find that there are people who have 879 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,319 Speaker 1: other diseases that we get vaccinated against and therefore have 880 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 1: heard immunity from it. But they don't get vaccinated. Fern 881 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,840 Speaker 1: and Honduras, they don't get vaccinated Fern and el Salvador 882 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 1: and other countries take this stuff very seriously, and no 883 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 1: one thinks that they're racist. I think even to be 884 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:44,319 Speaker 1: in is it. I think in Dubai, if you're going 885 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: to become a citizen, you have to have an HIV test. 886 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,320 Speaker 1: I could be wrong about that. If you're gonna be 887 00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 1: a citizen of the UAE, I think you have to 888 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 1: have an HIV test. I mean, there are other countries 889 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:59,879 Speaker 1: health screening for immigrants is considered standard, but in this case, 890 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: because the system is overwhelmed, and because any slowdown at 891 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 1: the border must be indicative of some right wing fascist, xenophobic, 892 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,399 Speaker 1: you know whatever, whatever, all this stuff that they say. 893 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:16,760 Speaker 1: Because of all of that, we see them just getting 894 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 1: processed through faster and faster. And I just want to 895 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 1: know what are the Libs going to say about this 896 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 1: When somebody who has a childhood disease that can be lethal, 897 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,439 Speaker 1: let's say, or just it doesn't have to be a child, 898 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 1: somebody who has a disease for which we generally have 899 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:39,759 Speaker 1: vaccinations against, and there's someone and someone dies, you know, 900 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: and someone dies of complications, or does the government bear 901 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 1: responsibility for that, for not protecting the American people from 902 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,359 Speaker 1: this health risk. No one's saying it's not a health 903 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,759 Speaker 1: risk anymore. Two thousand plus now you can say, oh, buck, 904 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,479 Speaker 1: a lot of people get the flu, a lot of Yeah, 905 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 1: but we're not trying to import more people that have 906 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 1: mumps chicken box. By the way, there's also in that group. 907 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,799 Speaker 1: And I know this from border patrol. They told me, 908 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, there are there are people that have HIV. 909 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 1: There are people that have much more even serious health 910 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 1: conditions as well, which I know people will say, oh buck, 911 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,120 Speaker 1: that can be managed, and yeah, but what about the 912 00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:20,359 Speaker 1: cost of the US healthcare system too. We have immigration 913 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: restrictions in place so that we're not just taking in 914 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: the sick from the rest of the world, so that 915 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,400 Speaker 1: we're not just taking in the poor and those that 916 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,279 Speaker 1: will need welfare from the rest of the world. You know, 917 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 1: President Trump said, I think it was earlier today that 918 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be taking people, you know, immigrants, should not 919 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:41,239 Speaker 1: be relying on welfare. It is already federal regulation in 920 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: the in the in the Federal Code on immigration that 921 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,600 Speaker 1: you cannot be a charge of the state if you're 922 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 1: going to be an an immigrant in this country who's 923 00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: brought who comes in legally and then let's say wants 924 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,200 Speaker 1: to stay for you know, a green card or become 925 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 1: a permanent resident. You're not allowed to be a charge 926 00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: of the state. But no one enforces any of this. 927 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 1: They don't care because we're lied to all the time. 928 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,719 Speaker 1: They say that immigrants don't get illegal immigrants rather don't 929 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 1: get welfare benefits. That's just not true. If you have 930 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 1: a kid, then you get all kinds of welfare benefits. 931 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 1: So there's a huge incentive to have a kid if 932 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,440 Speaker 1: you're an illegal immigrant in this country as fast as possible, 933 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,040 Speaker 1: and we see a lot of people have acted on 934 00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 1: that incentive. We're not going to fix the border anytime soon, 935 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,799 Speaker 1: but the government has got to get more serious about this. 936 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:31,640 Speaker 1: The Congress needs to act here. I mean, I've I'm 937 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,239 Speaker 1: in hoping that I'm going to get down to El 938 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,920 Speaker 1: Paso within a month or so and I'll be able 939 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,560 Speaker 1: to see for myself what's going on and bring you 940 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 1: some more ground truth about it. But this we are 941 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,439 Speaker 1: about to see, first of all, how fake the fake 942 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 1: news is when it comes to saying that there is 943 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,760 Speaker 1: no crisis. This is a crisis that when people realize 944 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,239 Speaker 1: the magnitude of it. I think there's going to be 945 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,880 Speaker 1: something of a panic. We'll continue to follow, will be 946 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 1: right back. I'm not allowed to say that, like you 947 00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 1: know or whatever, like whatever psych um like whatever you 948 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 1: know or whatever, like it's like this like like for 949 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,759 Speaker 1: what you know, like and you know things like that, 950 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: um like it's just like like it's just like you know, 951 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,760 Speaker 1: um like you know and you know, um you know whatever. 952 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,640 Speaker 1: Like it's like because like you know, you know, blah 953 00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:23,000 Speaker 1: blah blah, and I think, um, you know, like you know, 954 00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, like close like um, you know, 955 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,040 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get in a lot of trouble when 956 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 1: I go back to work, like yeah, like you know 957 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:35,080 Speaker 1: whatever like AOC. There are really two sides to this, 958 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: this equation of dealing with AOC. On the one hand, 959 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 1: she runs around like the ignoramist that she clearly is, 960 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,680 Speaker 1: and we can sit here and have a little bit 961 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,960 Speaker 1: of fun at her expense, sometimes not in a mean way, 962 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,600 Speaker 1: but in a necessary way. She's a powerful public figure, 963 00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 1: and she's somebody who should be called to account for 964 00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 1: what she does and says. That said, there's also the 965 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:11,000 Speaker 1: side of this that I find increasingly concerning, and that 966 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:15,400 Speaker 1: is what if the guardrails when the Democratic Party that 967 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 1: have traditionally brought them towards something of the center right. 968 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying that the Democratic Party has 969 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:29,280 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party has been progressively hence progressive, progressively working 970 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 1: its way further left for the last well for my lifetime. 971 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 1: I can just speak to that with some some level 972 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,919 Speaker 1: of expertise or at least personal experience. They've been moving 973 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,040 Speaker 1: hard left for thirty years. I mean since certainly the 974 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 1: Clinton administration, but in some ways the Clinton administration was 975 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 1: the beginning of the all out political warfare. Now, but 976 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,720 Speaker 1: even Nixon. You go back to Nixon, they were doing 977 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 1: the same thing against Nixon. So you know, they've been 978 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,920 Speaker 1: moving further and further left all along, but they at 979 00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,240 Speaker 1: least used to have this at the end end of 980 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 1: the day, we need to win that center of America concept, 981 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 1: and I think they're they're trying to blow right past that. 982 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: This is why they want to expand the voter pool. 983 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 1: They want to let sixteen year olds vote, former felons vote, 984 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,200 Speaker 1: a legal aliens vote. They're they're not playing for the 985 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 1: center anymore. I think that they have concerns and they 986 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 1: should have concerns that this is going to be a 987 00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, this is now a place that they cannot 988 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 1: return from. They've moved so far left that this is 989 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 1: where they're going to be. You know. Even Chuck Todd 990 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: running Democrat propaganda over at NBC or MSNBC or both, 991 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,080 Speaker 1: he's saying that Democrats, man, they're really out there. They're 992 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,200 Speaker 1: they're whacked out. Play thirteen. Democrats have spent much of 993 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 1: the last month wrestling themselves to the ground. They were 994 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 1: embarrassed over the revelation that Virginia Governor Ralph Northam had 995 00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: once dressed in blackface, startled by subsequen accusations of sexual 996 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,560 Speaker 1: assault against Northam's lieutenant Governor, Justin Fairfax, and chronically unsure 997 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 1: this week over how to handle a comment by freshman 998 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 1: Democrat elan Omar her Second that many saw as anti Semitic. 999 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,760 Speaker 1: And emerging more progressive cohort of elected Democrats is coming 1000 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 1: into conflict with an older generation of centrists and traditional liberals. 1001 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:23,000 Speaker 1: These two Democratic factions are united and divided. They're united 1002 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,680 Speaker 1: about the urgency of defeating President Trump next year, but 1003 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,440 Speaker 1: at the same time they are divided, with each side 1004 00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,600 Speaker 1: seeing the other as the reason mister Trump may wind 1005 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:38,400 Speaker 1: up winning after all, he's right. I hope he's right, 1006 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:47,160 Speaker 1: because the far left stuff is just not where this 1007 00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,959 Speaker 1: country is. And the media is there, and you see 1008 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:51,680 Speaker 1: this from the way they talk about it. There's a 1009 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 1: kind of glee, a sense that oh, finally we're able 1010 00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 1: to push for what we want to push for. Finally 1011 00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 1: we're going to get what we've been fighting for all 1012 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 1: this time. But the American people aren't with them on this. 1013 01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:10,120 Speaker 1: The American people are not going as far left as 1014 01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 1: as AOC, at least not yet. I'm very much a 1015 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,400 Speaker 1: believer in my thesis that when we have when the 1016 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 1: economic times get bad, it's a timing issue. If we 1017 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 1: have a big reset before the election, where the economy 1018 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 1: just just has to burn off a lot of excess. 1019 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 1: You know, twenty twenty five percent drop in the stock market, 1020 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 1: which will affect hiring, which will affect a lot of stuff, 1021 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,560 Speaker 1: affect people's wealthoughtly, and you know home prices. I mean, 1022 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 1: every everything gets affected. Right. The market is just an indicator. 1023 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:43,960 Speaker 1: If you don't own any stock, it doesn't mean that 1024 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,320 Speaker 1: the stock market does not matter to you, to your life. 1025 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 1: But that's when people turn to statism, progressivism, and the 1026 01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:59,920 Speaker 1: AOC like ideology of the left. And we should be 1027 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,560 Speaker 1: concerned about that because she really does have ingrained in 1028 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 1: her a hostility to capitalism, as we discussed yesterday, I 1029 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 1: mean to free enterprise. She thinks capitalism is irredeemable in 1030 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,280 Speaker 1: a corrupt system, and we don't know of a modern 1031 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,880 Speaker 1: economic system other than socialism with which we could replace capitalism. Right, 1032 01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 1: there's no I don't think that she's suggesting we go 1033 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 1: back to trade and barter. I don't think she wants 1034 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:29,200 Speaker 1: America to be a monarchist, mercantilist state. I'm pretty sure 1035 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:33,440 Speaker 1: that the way that she sees the path ahead is 1036 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 1: we either have limited capitalism, which we should. We do 1037 01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 1: not have free market capitalism in this country. We do 1038 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,880 Speaker 1: not have it. We have some of it, but we 1039 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of government regulation, government intrusion to 1040 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,200 Speaker 1: the market, chrony capitalism. There's a lot of that stuff 1041 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 1: that goes on too. And that's why as conservatives are 1042 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 1: focus is let's get rid of those constraints. Let's get 1043 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 1: rid of ways that certain people try to help themselves 1044 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,480 Speaker 1: line their pockets, essentially cheat using the system to help them. Right, 1045 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 1: big business loves big government. For example, AOC is just 1046 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,439 Speaker 1: coming at us with corporations are bad. You know, these 1047 01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 1: are our statements of faith on the left. Corporations are bad. 1048 01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 1: Dark money is a Republican thing. These are stupid statements, 1049 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 1: but it's a good way to get the mob energized. 1050 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:27,560 Speaker 1: It's a form of affecting community organizing and really rabble rousing. 1051 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,720 Speaker 1: And she knows that. I mean, here is an example 1052 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:38,000 Speaker 1: of just AOC airing out hostility to corporations without understanding 1053 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 1: the first thing about which she is talking. Play fourteen. 1054 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:48,440 Speaker 1: Since Wells Fargo financed the building of this pipeline and 1055 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:53,480 Speaker 1: in an environmentally unstable way, why shouldn't the bank be 1056 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,400 Speaker 1: held responsible for financing the cleanup of the of the 1057 01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,840 Speaker 1: disasters from these projects. We were not involved in the 1058 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,080 Speaker 1: dancing of the x of the Xcel pipeline. We were 1059 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 1: one of the seventeen or nineteen banks that was involved 1060 01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 1: in the financing of the Dakota Access pipeline. Okay, so, 1061 01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 1: so Wells Fargo hasn't financed any company associated with the 1062 01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,760 Speaker 1: Keystone Xcel pipeline. No, I didn't say that. I said 1063 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,280 Speaker 1: we're not involved in financing that pipeline specifically. Okay, so 1064 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 1: let's focus on the Dakota Access pipeline. Should Wells Fargo 1065 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 1: be held responsible for the damages incurred by climate change 1066 01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,640 Speaker 1: due to the financing of fossil fuels and these projects, 1067 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how you calculate that, congressmant I'm safe 1068 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 1: from spills or when we have to reinvest in infrastructure, 1069 01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 1: building sea walls, from the erosion of from the erosion 1070 01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: of infrastructure, or cleanups wildfires, etc. I'm not aware that 1071 01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 1: there's been any of what you described that's occurred. Well 1072 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,880 Speaker 1: about the cleanups from the leaks of the Dakota Access pipeline, 1073 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:58,040 Speaker 1: I'm not aware of the leaks associated with the Dakota 1074 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:02,920 Speaker 1: Access pipeline that you're describing. So hypothetically, if there was 1075 01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 1: a leak from the Dakota Access pipeline, why shouldn't Wells 1076 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,040 Speaker 1: Fargo pay for the cleanup of it? If since it 1077 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,600 Speaker 1: paid for the construction of the pipeline itself. Because we 1078 01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,840 Speaker 1: don't operate the pipeline, we provide financial to the company 1079 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 1: as operating the pipeline, so I know we probably like buckets. 1080 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,000 Speaker 1: My ears are bleeding. Why am I listening to this 1081 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,680 Speaker 1: this person. She's the day facto leader of the Democratic 1082 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 1: Party right now, full stop. If you're going to have 1083 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, Pelosi say something or AOC say something, Guess 1084 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,320 Speaker 1: who gets more attention. Guess who moves the needle more. 1085 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:41,160 Speaker 1: It's AOC already all right. As I've been saying, she 1086 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,560 Speaker 1: is the Prince Joffrey from Game of Thrones. The Democratic Party. 1087 01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:46,920 Speaker 1: Everyone is kind of in fear of her, even though 1088 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,160 Speaker 1: they know that she has really earned very little in 1089 01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,760 Speaker 1: terms of respect, has no knowledge, has no idea what 1090 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:56,920 Speaker 1: she's talking about. And that exchange where she can't figure 1091 01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:03,280 Speaker 1: out why you wouldn't hold the bank that finances what 1092 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 1: is essentially a construction project liable for any issues that 1093 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 1: come up from the construction project. I mean, think about this. 1094 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 1: If I if I go to the bank and I 1095 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,240 Speaker 1: get a loan to build a house, and I build 1096 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,080 Speaker 1: the house really poorly, and then I sell it to 1097 01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:28,240 Speaker 1: somebody and the house collapses on that person. Is the 1098 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,240 Speaker 1: bank that gave me the money that I used to 1099 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: go buy material? Are they responsible for it? But only 1100 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:38,560 Speaker 1: a really very stupid person could think that. She thinks that. Now, 1101 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:41,040 Speaker 1: by the way, stupid does not mean not dangerous stupid. 1102 01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:45,160 Speaker 1: People can be very powerful. They can be cultural icons, 1103 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 1: they can be dictators, they can you know, power is 1104 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,960 Speaker 1: not and maybe this is a theme on the show today. 1105 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:59,320 Speaker 1: Power and influence are not necessarily correlated with skill or 1106 01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,560 Speaker 1: ability or intelligence. So we need to we need to 1107 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:06,480 Speaker 1: stop associating this person is powerful. Well, well, they must 1108 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,400 Speaker 1: be powerful for a good reason. No, they might just 1109 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:13,640 Speaker 1: be powerful. And that's what you have with Okazio Cortez. 1110 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:21,040 Speaker 1: She's just powerful. But she is not knowledgeable, she is 1111 01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,440 Speaker 1: not wise, she does not have good judgment. And she 1112 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 1: even managed to pack into this questioning of the Wells 1113 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,520 Speaker 1: Fargo president and CEO there Tim Sloan, she managed to 1114 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 1: pack into it and also, shouldn't you just pay for 1115 01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:40,000 Speaker 1: climate change? All this is is the government seizing control 1116 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:43,000 Speaker 1: of every aspect of your life through this whole climate 1117 01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 1: change concept and then also engaging in a massive redistribution 1118 01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,960 Speaker 1: of wealth in order to save the planet. I mean, 1119 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:56,440 Speaker 1: this is a religious belief with forced donations attached to it, 1120 01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:00,760 Speaker 1: and they want this to be there's a globle socialism 1121 01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,240 Speaker 1: component to this. Oh, we're the developed world, so for 1122 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:07,440 Speaker 1: the developing world, we should have to give them money 1123 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,280 Speaker 1: because we've polluted so much to get here, and we'll 1124 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,400 Speaker 1: help them. We'll pay for their green jobs and their 1125 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 1: green tech. Meanwhile, if you got rid of fossil fuels, 1126 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,360 Speaker 1: we have no means. Really interesting. Last night on Tucker Show, 1127 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:24,080 Speaker 1: this guy who was the Canadian we played his audio 1128 01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,680 Speaker 1: on this show once a while ago. I think he 1129 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 1: was the Green Piece chief in Canada saying that we 1130 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:33,680 Speaker 1: have nothing to replace. How do what works the farm 1131 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 1: equipment that's necessary all over the world to harvest crops 1132 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 1: if not fossil fuel powered combines, tractors, all that stuff. 1133 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,800 Speaker 1: Got no answer to that, But they're not thinking about 1134 01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,440 Speaker 1: what the reality is. They're thinking AOC and others are 1135 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:54,080 Speaker 1: thinking about how they can get the power. They want 1136 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,480 Speaker 1: the power. They'll figure out the details later. You want 1137 01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,400 Speaker 1: to see what that looks like. Do some reading on 1138 01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:03,919 Speaker 1: Mao's great lead Forward and not long ago didn't end Well, 1139 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:10,360 Speaker 1: we'll be back. Mean pettiness has overtaken our politics. Sometimes 1140 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 1: it seems like we can't govern ourselves. We even talk 1141 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:16,360 Speaker 1: to one another. If you notice, how can criticize the 1142 01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:21,920 Speaker 1: saying anything nice about a Republican folks? This is not 1143 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:26,280 Speaker 1: who we are, That isn't how we got here Joe 1144 01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,639 Speaker 1: Biden now saying that we need to not be mean 1145 01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 1: to each other in politics, that pettiness has overtaken our politics. 1146 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,600 Speaker 1: This is the same guy who I think it was 1147 01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:40,960 Speaker 1: last week said that Vice President Mike Pence was a 1148 01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:44,920 Speaker 1: nice guy, and then, because I forget, I think it 1149 01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:50,480 Speaker 1: was Cynthia Nixon said that Pence is very anti gay. 1150 01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:52,400 Speaker 1: That Biden walked it back and was like, yeah, you 1151 01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 1: know what, you're right. You know, it turns out that 1152 01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,360 Speaker 1: it turns out that that he's not so nice, that 1153 01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 1: Pence is not such a good guy. I guess, or 1154 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, he walked it back. I forget how he 1155 01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 1: said it, but he essentially said, oh, yeah, you're right. 1156 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,479 Speaker 1: I should have thought more about that before I said 1157 01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 1: that Pence is a nice guy. Let me tell you something. 1158 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,360 Speaker 1: I know people who work for Mike Pence. Everybody thinks 1159 01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,920 Speaker 1: Pence is a nice guy. Nobody thinks Pence is not 1160 01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: a nice guy. I've only interviewed him in a professional capacity. 1161 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 1: I can tell you he was a gentleman in dealing 1162 01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:25,720 Speaker 1: with me. And you might say, well, Buck, aren't they 1163 01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:29,240 Speaker 1: all gentlemen? No, they're not all gentlemen. They're not all 1164 01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:32,240 Speaker 1: cool I remember when case It came in. He was like, hey, buddy, 1165 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 1: what's going on. We're going to do an interview here? Yeah, 1166 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,680 Speaker 1: what's up? John Kasey rhymes with Basic from Ohio. You know, 1167 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 1: my dad was a mailman. What's the blaze? Why do 1168 01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:42,240 Speaker 1: you work? There? Were you sitting here? You're gonna ask 1169 01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:46,160 Speaker 1: me some questions? Hey, ho, where do you know? Ka 1170 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 1: Sick was like that friend of yours when you're in 1171 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,800 Speaker 1: high school who had the dad who thought he was 1172 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:56,240 Speaker 1: really cool and funny, and he was just painfully lame 1173 01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:58,680 Speaker 1: and should have just let you guys hang out and 1174 01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:00,880 Speaker 1: knop it all up in your all up in your stuff. 1175 01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:05,640 Speaker 1: That's Kasick, you know, the one that you're like, I 1176 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:07,599 Speaker 1: didn't need your comment on that. I don't want your 1177 01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,559 Speaker 1: comment on that. And thanks for thanks for playing buddy. 1178 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,479 Speaker 1: So they're not all. They're all super nice and cool. 1179 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,120 Speaker 1: Pence is a nice guy. But but here's really what 1180 01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,720 Speaker 1: I want to say about this. Biden's calling for us 1181 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,640 Speaker 1: to step away from pettiness and politics. And I just 1182 01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:26,080 Speaker 1: say that Democrats and the Left really excels at this. 1183 01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:30,160 Speaker 1: They excel at being really nasty, really mean. If you 1184 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,160 Speaker 1: spend any time on left wing social media. You'll see 1185 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:44,720 Speaker 1: it's just all everyone who's a conservative is a racist, fat, ugly, disgusting, hateful, bigoted, islamophobic, 1186 01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,759 Speaker 1: anti gay that sale this stuff and you know, ninety 1187 01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,719 Speaker 1: five percent of the time none of it is true. 1188 01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 1: I mean, they're just being vicious, and it's echoed by 1189 01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 1: a lot of politicians on the left. I'm not going 1190 01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:59,960 Speaker 1: to easily forget. I'm not going to forget anytime soon 1191 01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,760 Speaker 1: that the left has really been rooting for the president's 1192 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:07,920 Speaker 1: children to go to prison. I've seen a lot of it. 1193 01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:09,639 Speaker 1: I've seen them say it. I've seen them talking about 1194 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:12,280 Speaker 1: they want Donald Trump Junior to be indicted. They want 1195 01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,479 Speaker 1: him And you say backwell, the president would just pardon him, 1196 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 1: not if it's stayed charges, not that they can find 1197 01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 1: something in the state of New York to get him 1198 01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,320 Speaker 1: or Avanca with they've been rooting for that. You want 1199 01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:25,760 Speaker 1: to talk about nasty, that's disgusting, That is disgusting. And 1200 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:27,840 Speaker 1: people say, oh, but what about Hillary, Well, Hillary one 1201 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,600 Speaker 1: did break the law a lot, and two I was 1202 01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:33,280 Speaker 1: always saying that she should have had to plead to 1203 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 1: the charges, but I don't think she would have gotten 1204 01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,120 Speaker 1: based on the guidelines and the statutes. I don't think 1205 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:39,559 Speaker 1: she would have served a lot of time, and I've 1206 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,160 Speaker 1: talked to national security lawyers specifically about that. They agree. 1207 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:46,599 Speaker 1: But in terms of meanness, here's an example. Ilhan Omar 1208 01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:50,400 Speaker 1: was asked about her comparison of Obama and Trump, and 1209 01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:56,160 Speaker 1: here's what she said, Play eighteen. Just as different when 1210 01:11:56,160 --> 01:12:02,280 Speaker 1: it comes to do you think about that? Is silly 1211 01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:07,439 Speaker 1: to even think, and equally to is it true that 1212 01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:13,160 Speaker 1: you just think that he's more polished than Trump. One 1213 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:19,320 Speaker 1: is human, the other is not. She says, Oh, yeah, 1214 01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:21,840 Speaker 1: that seems like a reasonable thing for this person to say. 1215 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar says that Obama's human. Trump is not human. 1216 01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,000 Speaker 1: If they didn't treat this present the way that they do, 1217 01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,720 Speaker 1: I would be more willing to dismiss that as maybe 1218 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:38,120 Speaker 1: just a bit of hyperbole. But they do think of 1219 01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:42,120 Speaker 1: this president as some terrible atrocity inflicted on the country. 1220 01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:46,280 Speaker 1: They do deeply despise him, and I think that they 1221 01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:50,320 Speaker 1: even dehumanize him, calling him orange Drum, all the stuff 1222 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,400 Speaker 1: they say about Trump, it's it's really meant to make 1223 01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:54,240 Speaker 1: him not a person. They never give him credit for 1224 01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,360 Speaker 1: his family, They never give him credit for the people 1225 01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,439 Speaker 1: say he's nice, so they're the petty mean ones. Let's 1226 01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:02,200 Speaker 1: be clear on the US. If you let it be difficult, 1227 01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: hiring can be very difficult. You got a lot of 1228 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,799 Speaker 1: job side stacks of resumes, all things in the review 1229 01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,800 Speaker 1: process you don't have to spend your time on.

This deterioration in 1250 01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:19,880 Speaker 1: Venezuela is really getting scary and or scarier. It's been 1251 01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:25,400 Speaker 1: scary for a while, but now I'm I'm concerned that 1252 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,880 Speaker 1: we are going to enter the more violent phase of this. 1253 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,160 Speaker 1: There's already violence. There are these groups that will at 1254 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:39,759 Speaker 1: a moment's notice hop on motorbikes to go terrorize, terrorize 1255 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 1: the opposition to Maduro. So there's clearly been and there's 1256 01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:49,160 Speaker 1: an incredibly high murder rate. But there's thuggery and street 1257 01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:54,520 Speaker 1: violence going on in a systemic way, in an intentional 1258 01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:58,960 Speaker 1: way in Venezuela, and has been for a while. But 1259 01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:03,559 Speaker 1: this now is getting to a place where we've had 1260 01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:09,280 Speaker 1: a blackout for an extended period of time, which you 1261 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,400 Speaker 1: can imagine, you know, having been in New York City 1262 01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 1: at one at one point when there was a blackout 1263 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,599 Speaker 1: in part of the city and seeing it from up 1264 01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,400 Speaker 1: high on a building, up on a rooftop. It is 1265 01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:23,760 Speaker 1: an eerie feeling when a city is truly plunged into darkness. 1266 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:28,680 Speaker 1: I cannot imagine what it's like when you're already in 1267 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:33,880 Speaker 1: the violent chaos of the streets of Caracas, when you 1268 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 1: find out that they've been without power. Much of the 1269 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:41,120 Speaker 1: whole country has been without power since Thursday afternoon. And 1270 01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:49,719 Speaker 1: now the anti us Bolvarian Revolution BS rhetoric gets trotted 1271 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,360 Speaker 1: out by Madureau, who's looking for people to blame for 1272 01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:58,160 Speaker 1: this one, because there's a clear desperation. You have photos 1273 01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:02,719 Speaker 1: of Venezuelan picking food out of the back of garbage trucks. 1274 01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:06,679 Speaker 1: You have people who are looking for runoff from water 1275 01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:11,400 Speaker 1: pipes just to get water. There's there's fear that the 1276 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:15,280 Speaker 1: especially with the power outage, because remember power and water 1277 01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:19,400 Speaker 1: systems and pumping and if there's a cleaning going on 1278 01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:21,880 Speaker 1: as well of the water to make it potable, that 1279 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,160 Speaker 1: you lose power, and you lose a lot more than 1280 01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 1: just you know, refrigerators and lights. You lose ventilation systems 1281 01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:34,280 Speaker 1: and ventilators and hospitals, you lose the ability to pump 1282 01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:39,640 Speaker 1: drinking water. You you know, you lose security for important facilities. 1283 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,479 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Without power, the world gets no 1284 01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 1: matter where you are, very scary, very fast. You can 1285 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,120 Speaker 1: imagine that in a circumstance like Venezuela, where you already 1286 01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:53,719 Speaker 1: have a country that is in the process of becoming 1287 01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:58,719 Speaker 1: an entirely failed state unless there's some kind of intervention 1288 01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:02,599 Speaker 1: here from the Guido government. And this is when things, 1289 01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, with the increase in desperation, I think you 1290 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,920 Speaker 1: also have an increase in the possibility of violence, which 1291 01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,840 Speaker 1: is why you've had the US Embassy declared that it 1292 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:18,160 Speaker 1: will remove all American personnel from the embassy. It was 1293 01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 1: just down to a minimal critical personnel staff, but now 1294 01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:27,920 Speaker 1: everybody's out. We have put even more pressure on trying 1295 01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:32,640 Speaker 1: to cut off Maduro's government from the lifelines that it 1296 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:38,839 Speaker 1: has economic lifelines, primarily Cuba, but also from Russia. We're 1297 01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:43,680 Speaker 1: seizing bank accounts, freezing bank accounts, shutting down their finances, 1298 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:47,320 Speaker 1: and I will say that we are taking a pretty 1299 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:51,400 Speaker 1: active role in this. There are dozens of countries that 1300 01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,519 Speaker 1: want Guido to be in charge of not Maduro, really 1301 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:58,439 Speaker 1: all of Latin America except for Mexico, interestingly enough, because 1302 01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:04,960 Speaker 1: it's got this very far left Penneto government. But Mexico, Nicaragua, Cuba, 1303 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 1: maybe one or two other Latin American governments I can't 1304 01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:09,160 Speaker 1: think of off the top of my head. They're the 1305 01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:13,760 Speaker 1: only ones that don't want Maduro gone. They are still 1306 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,439 Speaker 1: sticking by Maduro. They still want and want him to 1307 01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:22,320 Speaker 1: be the president of this desperate country. But the US is, 1308 01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:27,959 Speaker 1: you know, we're now partnering with Guido in the ouster 1309 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,280 Speaker 1: of Maduro, and we should be very clear about that this. 1310 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:35,400 Speaker 1: This has moved beyond just diplomatic recognition and statements of support, 1311 01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,280 Speaker 1: which I think we're well within our rights to do. 1312 01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 1: We are now engaging in I do think it's fair 1313 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 1: to say financial warfare. And I know people are gonna say, oh, Buck, 1314 01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:48,240 Speaker 1: that's not that you're going too far that well, when 1315 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,240 Speaker 1: you're shutting off all access to funds for a country, 1316 01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,360 Speaker 1: and we may even I wouldn't be surprised if we 1317 01:18:55,400 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 1: started going beyond the sanctions on Venezuelan oil and maybe 1318 01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:07,080 Speaker 1: even started perhaps shutting off additional sources of revenue into 1319 01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:13,160 Speaker 1: the country. So you know, it's it's a very volatile situation. 1320 01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:15,920 Speaker 1: And when you've got a blackout happening, oh, we're being 1321 01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:20,439 Speaker 1: blamed for the blackout. Of course, the Majuro government is 1322 01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:24,639 Speaker 1: saying that it's our fault and that we are the reason, 1323 01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:28,960 Speaker 1: and that there's US technology at work here. So you know, 1324 01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:32,600 Speaker 1: this is something that is This is going to be 1325 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,800 Speaker 1: a test I think for the Trump administration, how welcome 1326 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,400 Speaker 1: the handless. They've got Elliott Abrams as the point man 1327 01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,599 Speaker 1: on this, who is a very savvy guy, but comes 1328 01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,400 Speaker 1: with a lot of political baggage because of his long 1329 01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:48,400 Speaker 1: time working in foreign policy for the United States government. 1330 01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:51,479 Speaker 1: And as I said, when when you pull out all 1331 01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,760 Speaker 1: diplomatic staff from an embassy, that means that you are 1332 01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:58,960 Speaker 1: really concerned about two things. One is just retaliation against 1333 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:03,920 Speaker 1: embassy personnel in general, but usually that also means that 1334 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:07,800 Speaker 1: there is a feeling that we would not be able 1335 01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:14,360 Speaker 1: to sufficiently protect that embassy in the event of an incident. 1336 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,960 Speaker 1: And if you can't count on the host government to 1337 01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:22,640 Speaker 1: respect diplomatic community and diplomatic protocol, which we cannot in 1338 01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:27,120 Speaker 1: Maduro anymore. I think that's fair to say the contingent 1339 01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,200 Speaker 1: of marines that they have there to guard the ambassador 1340 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:33,839 Speaker 1: and to guard the embassy staff, that that's not going 1341 01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:37,080 Speaker 1: to be enough. They will not be in a position 1342 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:41,800 Speaker 1: to protect that embassy if Maduro decides to seize them. 1343 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 1: And you got Elliot Abrams running around saying that all 1344 01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:48,760 Speaker 1: options are on the table. That's a you know, people 1345 01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:50,680 Speaker 1: can argue with me on this, we can debate this, 1346 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:55,559 Speaker 1: but all options means all options. And I certainly hope 1347 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:58,240 Speaker 1: that we do not get into a get to a 1348 01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:03,280 Speaker 1: place of any kind of military action in Venezuela, which 1349 01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:05,840 Speaker 1: would start you know how it goes, folks. It starts small. 1350 01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 1: It starts with, Okay, we've got a US and we've 1351 01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 1: got some US nationals who are in jeopardy, and we've 1352 01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:15,479 Speaker 1: got to go in and get them. And you know, 1353 01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:19,519 Speaker 1: these things no one usually at least sometimes, but it's 1354 01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:21,719 Speaker 1: rare for zone to say, yeah, let's just add another 1355 01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:26,120 Speaker 1: add another military intervention onto the list of things we 1356 01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:27,759 Speaker 1: want to do as a country and as a government. 1357 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,760 Speaker 1: It starts out usually smaller than that. You know, look 1358 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:34,200 Speaker 1: a look at our intervention in Somalia is a humanitarian 1359 01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:36,799 Speaker 1: mission to feed people, and there are other countries involved, 1360 01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:39,839 Speaker 1: and as we all know from the black Hawk down incident, 1361 01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,680 Speaker 1: that can be a lot more than you bargain for. 1362 01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:46,519 Speaker 1: So I am now entering a zone of caution here. 1363 01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,840 Speaker 1: I think I think Trump and his team have done 1364 01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,040 Speaker 1: the right thing overall, but we cannot be in a 1365 01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:57,920 Speaker 1: position where we are responsible for what happens in Venezuela, 1366 01:21:57,960 --> 01:21:59,760 Speaker 1: and we certainly don't want to be involved in a 1367 01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:04,160 Speaker 1: military any kind of a military escalation because Munduro's back 1368 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:06,040 Speaker 1: is up against the wall and he knows it, and 1369 01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,000 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that work for him, 1370 01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,439 Speaker 1: if you remember, they view this as they view this 1371 01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:14,240 Speaker 1: as ride or die. You know, they either stay in 1372 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:19,559 Speaker 1: power and have authority and wealth, or they might be 1373 01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,840 Speaker 1: spending a long time in a Venezuelan prison, which I'm 1374 01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:26,599 Speaker 1: sure is a particularly nasty place to be. So this issue, 1375 01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,479 Speaker 1: we're going to continue to watch it. But I'm looking 1376 01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,840 Speaker 1: at this with a bit of trepidation, so we'll stay 1377 01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:35,280 Speaker 1: on it. You're probably familiar with AARP.

Democratic lawmakers 1396 01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:42,760 Speaker 1: unveil Journalist Protection Act amid Trump attacks on the media. 1397 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,000 Speaker 1: This is from three Democratic lawmakers. They've introduced this Journal's 1398 01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:49,479 Speaker 1: Protection Act that will designate certain attacks on those reporting 1399 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:53,200 Speaker 1: the news as a federal crime. Who put this forward? 1400 01:23:53,680 --> 01:24:00,160 Speaker 1: Representative Swalwell, Bloomenthal, and Menendez. It was originally introduced by 1401 01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:03,559 Speaker 1: Swalwell back in February twenty eighteen. Here's what they say 1402 01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,160 Speaker 1: about this. The Journalist Protection Act makes it a federal 1403 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:12,240 Speaker 1: crime to intentionally cause bodily harm to a journalist affecting 1404 01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:15,360 Speaker 1: interstate or foreign commerce in the course of reporting, or 1405 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:18,639 Speaker 1: in a manner design to intimidate him or her from 1406 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:22,599 Speaker 1: news gathering. For a media organization, it represents a clear 1407 01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:26,080 Speaker 1: statement that assaults against people engage in reporting is unacceptable 1408 01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,320 Speaker 1: and helps ensure law enforcement is able to punish those 1409 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:35,400 Speaker 1: who interfere with news gathering. And this is also obviously 1410 01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,599 Speaker 1: turned into a talking point against Trump. They're saying they're 1411 01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:42,800 Speaker 1: doing this because Trump's climate of extreme hostility toward the 1412 01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:47,639 Speaker 1: media needs a response, and that quote. Such antagonistic rhetoric 1413 01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,200 Speaker 1: encourages others to think, regardless of their views, that violence 1414 01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:53,679 Speaker 1: against journalists is more acceptable. This is complete and utter 1415 01:24:55,280 --> 01:25:01,320 Speaker 1: bull Trump is not encouraging violence against them. The media 1416 01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:04,200 Speaker 1: does not have and oh my gosh, we're being targeted 1417 01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:07,680 Speaker 1: violence problem the media. It's full of a bunch of babies. Honestly, 1418 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:10,960 Speaker 1: they're so lucky. And I say this to you, I 1419 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,960 Speaker 1: am so lucky every day that I'm able to do 1420 01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,400 Speaker 1: this show and that I have all of you listening 1421 01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:19,800 Speaker 1: to me on one hundred and twenty five stations or 1422 01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:24,400 Speaker 1: so across the country, and the whole additional army of 1423 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,920 Speaker 1: folks who just listen on the podcast. I am really lucky, 1424 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,400 Speaker 1: and it's why I like my job so much. I 1425 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:34,040 Speaker 1: think it's it's a great thing, and I feel very blessed, 1426 01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:38,040 Speaker 1: honestly and truly to be able to do this work. 1427 01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:42,200 Speaker 1: I do not run around acting like, oh, it's so hard, 1428 01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,559 Speaker 1: and you know, I've got the left wing trying to 1429 01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:48,160 Speaker 1: take me out, take me down, call me names, lie 1430 01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,000 Speaker 1: about me, and all that stuff happens all the time. 1431 01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:51,599 Speaker 1: I don't talk about it that much on the show, 1432 01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,400 Speaker 1: but yeah, they're always trying to take me out, and 1433 01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:58,440 Speaker 1: people within the media business or trying to find conservatives 1434 01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:01,960 Speaker 1: like me to make an example of to undermine to 1435 01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,400 Speaker 1: advance their own careers with. So you know, anyone can 1436 01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:07,000 Speaker 1: sit around and a lot of you are probably, yeah, buck, 1437 01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:08,880 Speaker 1: guess what, my job's a hard here, and we could 1438 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,000 Speaker 1: all sit around talk about all the problems come with 1439 01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,599 Speaker 1: our respective. That's why they call it work. That's why 1440 01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:16,000 Speaker 1: they pay you for it. If it were, you know, 1441 01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:19,040 Speaker 1: sitting around eating cream puffs and getting a massage all day, 1442 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:23,240 Speaker 1: which does sound pretty amazing right about now, they probably 1443 01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:24,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't pay you for it. You might have to pay 1444 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:28,120 Speaker 1: them for it, so I understand this. I just think 1445 01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:32,040 Speaker 1: that journalists are honestly as a class, and that's really 1446 01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:34,720 Speaker 1: what they are, and that's how they view themselves. They 1447 01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,720 Speaker 1: are a Journalism is a personal identity for a lot 1448 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,080 Speaker 1: of people, and a lot of them have never had 1449 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,400 Speaker 1: another job, which I also think. I think it's bad. 1450 01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:45,639 Speaker 1: I think that that's problematic. I think that a lot 1451 01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:47,720 Speaker 1: of folks who go right into journalism and have never 1452 01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:51,639 Speaker 1: done anything else. Now, they're obviously really good people who 1453 01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,040 Speaker 1: do that, and you don't have to send me all 1454 01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:54,639 Speaker 1: the names of all the great people. I'm sure they're 1455 01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:57,120 Speaker 1: amazing people at Fox or Reporters is all they ever done. 1456 01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:00,559 Speaker 1: But I think that there's too much of that within 1457 01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:04,759 Speaker 1: journalism so that you don't have enough of a real 1458 01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:10,360 Speaker 1: life perspective brought into these newsrooms from outside of this enclave. 1459 01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:14,040 Speaker 1: And look, ninety percent of journalists or libs, for example, Well, 1460 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:15,880 Speaker 1: if you're if you're a Lib journalist that goes to 1461 01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,920 Speaker 1: work for only LIB publications, you really don't understand the country. 1462 01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:22,400 Speaker 1: You just don't. You haven't had enough interaction with the 1463 01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,439 Speaker 1: American people who disagree with you or see things differently 1464 01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:30,200 Speaker 1: from you. So I think that there's huge structural problems 1465 01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:32,040 Speaker 1: in journalism in general. But this idea that they need 1466 01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:35,679 Speaker 1: to pass a federal hate crime statute to protect journalists 1467 01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:38,720 Speaker 1: for doing their jobs, Well, then who else gets a 1468 01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:43,200 Speaker 1: federal hate crime statute? Right? Who? What other employment involves? 1469 01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:47,559 Speaker 1: Interstate commerce? Oh? Well, pretty much all commerce based on 1470 01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:49,720 Speaker 1: and you know, now we could who's ready for it? 1471 01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:53,919 Speaker 1: Who's ready for it? Wickered v. Phil Burne the Supreme 1472 01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:59,559 Speaker 1: Court case that was one of the greatest travesties of 1473 01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 1: constitutional jurisprudence, certainly of the last one hundred or so years. 1474 01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it is terrible for it. So 1475 01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 1: Wickered v. Filburn for a quick review something you're like, buck, 1476 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,559 Speaker 1: I know Wickered v. Filburn No, no no, no, hold on, 1477 01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:17,080 Speaker 1: This one will be fun. I'll make it quick. It 1478 01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:20,040 Speaker 1: was a case where you had a guy who was 1479 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:23,960 Speaker 1: growing wheat and he didn't want to. So this goes 1480 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,760 Speaker 1: right to the heart of the regulatory powers of the 1481 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:31,040 Speaker 1: federal government. This guy was a farmer in Ohio and 1482 01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:33,600 Speaker 1: he had twelve acres of wheat beyond what he was 1483 01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:37,360 Speaker 1: supposed to under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of nineteen thirty eight, 1484 01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:41,160 Speaker 1: and he said, Look, I'm just growing this wheat for myself. 1485 01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm just growing my own wheat. You know, well, you 1486 01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:46,679 Speaker 1: know it's sweat for me. Why does the federal government 1487 01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:50,280 Speaker 1: get a say in this? Well, the federal the Supreme 1488 01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:54,080 Speaker 1: Court came back with an opinion that said, well, because 1489 01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:57,120 Speaker 1: you're not going to be buying wheat on the wheat market, 1490 01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:02,360 Speaker 1: and the wheat market is a mule, is an interstate market. 1491 01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:07,000 Speaker 1: You are affecting that market by not buying on that 1492 01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,280 Speaker 1: market because you're making stuff for yourself, So we can 1493 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:12,200 Speaker 1: regulate even with that you're making for your I mean, 1494 01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:15,120 Speaker 1: this was essentially the beginning of the federal government's ability 1495 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:20,000 Speaker 1: to regulate almost anything it wants. Um Wickered v. Philburn 1496 01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:24,280 Speaker 1: is the the first of the many headed hydra of 1497 01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:29,479 Speaker 1: federal overreach which we are becoming more used to. And 1498 01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:31,479 Speaker 1: that's not a good thing. I mean, you shouldn't think 1499 01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:36,639 Speaker 1: and I shouldn't think that it's normal now that, for example, 1500 01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:40,880 Speaker 1: gun crimes can always really be prosecuted as a federal crime. 1501 01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,200 Speaker 1: And you may now not always always, So don't take 1502 01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:46,599 Speaker 1: me literally on that. Take me seriously, but not literally. 1503 01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:50,400 Speaker 1: But this is true. Gun crimes that involve you know, 1504 01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:54,519 Speaker 1: robbing a liquor store, for example, if the Feds want 1505 01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:58,720 Speaker 1: to process prosecute you rather as a federal that as 1506 01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:00,559 Speaker 1: a federal crime. There are statutes they can do it. 1507 01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,760 Speaker 1: Because you're interrupting interstate commerce with the armed robbery. That's 1508 01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:06,040 Speaker 1: not the way the federal government's supposed to work. This 1509 01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:10,160 Speaker 1: has also led to vast over criminalization, where you have 1510 01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:13,800 Speaker 1: they estimate because they don't even know over five thousand 1511 01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:18,400 Speaker 1: federal criminal statutes and regulations that have criminal penalties attached 1512 01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 1: to them. And that's another really bad thing. When we 1513 01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:24,760 Speaker 1: have the federal government how many crimes it can prosecute, 1514 01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:26,479 Speaker 1: it should be able to give us an exact number 1515 01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:28,320 Speaker 1: and know what is a crime and what is not. 1516 01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,320 Speaker 1: But instead what we really have is a federal government 1517 01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:35,439 Speaker 1: that says, well, you know, it really depends, really depends, 1518 01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,800 Speaker 1: And to that I just would respond, that's not the 1519 01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:42,839 Speaker 1: way it's supposed to be. We started out with three 1520 01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:47,679 Speaker 1: three crimes in the constitution, piracy, counterfeiting, treason. Now we've 1521 01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:53,080 Speaker 1: got illegal packaging of a fish in plastic instead of 1522 01:30:53,120 --> 01:31:01,000 Speaker 1: paper in international waters. We have people who got real 1523 01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:04,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, who went wandered onto federal land 1524 01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,680 Speaker 1: and didn't know they're on federal land and found an 1525 01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:11,559 Speaker 1: arrowhead and then are being prosecuted because they found essentially 1526 01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:13,719 Speaker 1: a really old rock on the ground and it falls 1527 01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:17,000 Speaker 1: under a statute about disturbing native artifacts or something. I mean, 1528 01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 1: just stuff like that. That all comes from this mentality 1529 01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:25,240 Speaker 1: that is exemplified and has been built upon in wickerd v. 1530 01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:28,439 Speaker 1: Philburn that allows the federal government to essentially involve itself 1531 01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:35,240 Speaker 1: in whatever it wants. So there you have that, my friends. 1532 01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:36,760 Speaker 1: I know I went a little bit of a tangent there, 1533 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:38,920 Speaker 1: but I think it's a good one. And as so, 1534 01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,640 Speaker 1: this obviously shouldn't be a law that anyone passes. This 1535 01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:45,000 Speaker 1: is just the Democrats trying to make journalists feel better because, 1536 01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, here's the other part of it. Journalists are 1537 01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:50,080 Speaker 1: used to feeling like the echo chambers, theirs and theirs alone, 1538 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:54,120 Speaker 1: and now that there's all this connectivity with the you know, 1539 01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:58,960 Speaker 1: the fifty percent of Americans that journalists despise, they're seeing 1540 01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,240 Speaker 1: now that, oh, those people can respond back to them. 1541 01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:05,920 Speaker 1: And Trump has kicked open the door here by saying 1542 01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:08,200 Speaker 1: that you don't have to listen to these people. Some 1543 01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:09,599 Speaker 1: of them are good, but some of them are bad. 1544 01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:12,599 Speaker 1: Some of them are ethical, but some of them are jerks. Well, 1545 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:14,880 Speaker 1: now that means that we can always ask that question, 1546 01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:17,520 Speaker 1: is this just because this person writes for a newspaper 1547 01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:21,040 Speaker 1: or is on the television talking about the news, doesn't 1548 01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:23,280 Speaker 1: mean that they have some special knowledge, and it certainly 1549 01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:25,840 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they're entitled to our respect. Is See, 1550 01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:28,320 Speaker 1: that's really part of what's made journalists so upset. They're 1551 01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:32,479 Speaker 1: not so much worried about their physical safety because that's 1552 01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:36,280 Speaker 1: just babysh. I mean, journalists are fine. I've told you. 1553 01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:38,040 Speaker 1: In the last thirty years, I think five journalists have 1554 01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:39,640 Speaker 1: been killed doing their jobs in the United States in 1555 01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:43,599 Speaker 1: thirty years. That's according the Committee to Protect Journalists, who 1556 01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:45,200 Speaker 1: did not like when I pointed out that that's not 1557 01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:49,080 Speaker 1: exactly a terrifying statistic. What they really don't like is 1558 01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:54,000 Speaker 1: that their prestige and their place in our society has 1559 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:55,960 Speaker 1: been questioned in a way that they weren't ready for. 1560 01:32:56,439 --> 01:33:00,360 Speaker 1: And they they want some federal government odd to the 1561 01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:02,960 Speaker 1: fact that journalists are so important to the First Amendment. 1562 01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:08,200 Speaker 1: That's what this is really about. The show ain't over yet, folks. 1563 01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:17,360 Speaker 1: It's time for roll call, Roll call time. Everybody. If 1564 01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:20,560 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of it yourself, Facebook, 1565 01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:24,240 Speaker 1: dot com, slash buck sex, and that is where I 1566 01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:29,840 Speaker 1: recommend you go and let's get to it. Brian writes Buck, 1567 01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:33,280 Speaker 1: I appreciated your comments yesterday about what if the Left 1568 01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:36,280 Speaker 1: tries to do to you what they are attempting on Tucker. 1569 01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,240 Speaker 1: You will go out with your shields high now that 1570 01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:41,240 Speaker 1: you have a team of Arden patriots behind you that 1571 01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:43,200 Speaker 1: have got your back on social media, they try to 1572 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:47,120 Speaker 1: get you on some ignoramous action from your freshman year 1573 01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,840 Speaker 1: of college. I'm reminded of the one comment that Walter 1574 01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:51,760 Speaker 1: says to Donnie at the end of The Big Lebowski, 1575 01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:57,080 Speaker 1: The social media outrage clowns are the night nihilists. No, Donnie, 1576 01:33:57,160 --> 01:34:00,880 Speaker 1: these men are called nihilists. Hey, Brian, I really appreciate that. Yeah, 1577 01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:02,680 Speaker 1: it's I've been saying it for a long time. It's 1578 01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:05,080 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I try to maintain some 1579 01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:09,400 Speaker 1: consistency on this issue, among many other issues. At some point, 1580 01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:11,639 Speaker 1: someone's going to say that I've done something or said 1581 01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:15,519 Speaker 1: something that is problematic from the view of the Left. 1582 01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:18,080 Speaker 1: If I've done something that's actually problematic, I will always 1583 01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:22,040 Speaker 1: admit it. Apologize for it, and that is just a 1584 01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:25,960 Speaker 1: function of honor and integrity. But what I'm saying is 1585 01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,439 Speaker 1: that the the outrage mob, the media matters. In fact, 1586 01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:31,439 Speaker 1: media matters came at me today a little bit, and 1587 01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:33,240 Speaker 1: there'll be more of that, I'm sure in the future. 1588 01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:36,120 Speaker 1: Media matters comes after me occasionally on Twitter, and you 1589 01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:39,439 Speaker 1: know they'll they'll try to take me down. And look, 1590 01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:42,160 Speaker 1: as long as the team is with me, I'll always 1591 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:46,080 Speaker 1: be doing a show and I'm not going to back 1592 01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:49,120 Speaker 1: down to the outrage mob. And I really hope that 1593 01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:53,639 Speaker 1: what we've seen from Tucker changes the standard going forward, 1594 01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:56,920 Speaker 1: because this is just nonsense. This this thing of if 1595 01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,640 Speaker 1: you're a conservative and you say something that's bad a 1596 01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:01,599 Speaker 1: long time time and go, or you say something that's 1597 01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:05,960 Speaker 1: that's borderline maybe inappropriate, but you know, stuff happens. The 1598 01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:09,200 Speaker 1: world's a the world's a contact sport, my friends. Uh, 1599 01:35:09,680 --> 01:35:11,960 Speaker 1: you're supposed to just be ruined and destroyed forever. But 1600 01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:15,240 Speaker 1: liberals say crazy stuff all the time. You know, Liberals 1601 01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:18,400 Speaker 1: do things that you think to yourself, if I ever 1602 01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:21,000 Speaker 1: did that, I'd never you know, I'd never work in 1603 01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:24,640 Speaker 1: that industry again, and I'd be ignominiously expelled from the 1604 01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:27,000 Speaker 1: public square, and it's just at the double standard is 1605 01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:29,040 Speaker 1: just too much and I'm sick of it and I 1606 01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:32,759 Speaker 1: don't want to live my life by their rules anymore. 1607 01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:35,439 Speaker 1: Oh it's tough. You know, people get sponsor pressure and 1608 01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:37,559 Speaker 1: then they you know, and then then all of a sudden, 1609 01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:40,040 Speaker 1: it's a you know, do you want the paycheck or not? 1610 01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:42,000 Speaker 1: And you got to remember there's for some people, there's 1611 01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:44,360 Speaker 1: real consequences for all this, which is why I hate 1612 01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:46,880 Speaker 1: organizations like Media Matters. I mean, they don't they're not 1613 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:50,080 Speaker 1: adding to knowledge, to discourse. They're not I'm using there. 1614 01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:52,040 Speaker 1: They don't make people feel better. All they do is 1615 01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:56,400 Speaker 1: just they're just out there to destroy. They're out there 1616 01:35:56,479 --> 01:36:00,879 Speaker 1: just to light small woodland creatures on fire their own amusement. 1617 01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:04,599 Speaker 1: They're disgusting. They're despicable people. And a lot of these 1618 01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:09,120 Speaker 1: left wing organizations out there that support them, whether we're 1619 01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:12,160 Speaker 1: talking Daily Co's, move on dot org, you know, the 1620 01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:16,080 Speaker 1: Young Turks, these different groups that are thinking that this thing. 1621 01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:19,600 Speaker 1: I even thin the pod Save America guys are advocating. 1622 01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:23,599 Speaker 1: I saw this today. They're advocating for the boycott against Tucker. 1623 01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:26,960 Speaker 1: You know, why don't they Why don't they offer to 1624 01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,479 Speaker 1: have Tucker on their show and debate some of these issues, 1625 01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:32,800 Speaker 1: or why don't they actually try to engage and make 1626 01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:34,559 Speaker 1: their points good now that they just they just want 1627 01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:38,280 Speaker 1: they want their competitors gone. They want people that they 1628 01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:41,679 Speaker 1: disagree with destroyed, ruined, humiliated in front of their families. 1629 01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:44,360 Speaker 1: You know, I try on this show for the most part. Yeah, 1630 01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean, occasionally some public personalities are going to come 1631 01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:51,960 Speaker 1: in for some criticism and mockery. But I don't make 1632 01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:56,719 Speaker 1: fun of people's appearance. And that's one I'm not perfect, 1633 01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:59,120 Speaker 1: I know, but I try very hard, you know. I don't, 1634 01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:01,519 Speaker 1: you know, visions make fun of anyone's appearance, because I 1635 01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:05,479 Speaker 1: just think that's just beneath anybody, And I try to 1636 01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,479 Speaker 1: keep it on the substance and the ideas. What you 1637 01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:11,240 Speaker 1: see now, especially in social media world, is that it's 1638 01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:15,120 Speaker 1: always just just trying to destroy the people who are 1639 01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:17,479 Speaker 1: it's always ad hominum. They're trying to destroy the message, 1640 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:20,160 Speaker 1: and it's a it's going to be worse in this 1641 01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:23,000 Speaker 1: country going forward to unless unless we finally take This 1642 01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:25,519 Speaker 1: is what taking a stand means. By the way, it's 1643 01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:27,640 Speaker 1: easy to say I take a stand on something and 1644 01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:29,559 Speaker 1: then when there's pressure and there's heat, you go, oh, 1645 01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:32,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to take that stand anymore. That stand 1646 01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:35,280 Speaker 1: has been fun, but I'm not doing that stand anymore. 1647 01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:38,800 Speaker 1: That's that's easy to do when you say that I 1648 01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:41,479 Speaker 1: will not bow to the outrage mob, understanding that that 1649 01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:45,519 Speaker 1: may come with additional consequences. That's that's taking a stand, 1650 01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,639 Speaker 1: and that's what That's what Tucker is doing, and that's 1651 01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:50,320 Speaker 1: what a lot of other people I think around him 1652 01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:53,160 Speaker 1: realize has to be done. And this is all apart 1653 01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:54,720 Speaker 1: from the fact that, look, I don't I don't like 1654 01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:56,840 Speaker 1: some of the stuff that Tucker said at all. I 1655 01:37:56,840 --> 01:37:59,320 Speaker 1: think it's bad. But I don't think that people should 1656 01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:02,720 Speaker 1: lose their jobs and careers for saying something here or there, 1657 01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:08,080 Speaker 1: especially ten years ago, that is ill thought out, objectionable, wrong, 1658 01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:12,519 Speaker 1: any of the above. And yeah, obviously, I also I 1659 01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:14,439 Speaker 1: like Tucker and know that he's a good guy. He's 1660 01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:16,760 Speaker 1: a good person. He's worked incredibly hard to get where 1661 01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:19,840 Speaker 1: he is. He serves a very important role in public discourse. 1662 01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:22,519 Speaker 1: He's a warrior for our side. You know that all 1663 01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:27,720 Speaker 1: factors into it too, And I think if one of 1664 01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:29,880 Speaker 1: my biggest criticisms on the right is that we leave 1665 01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,040 Speaker 1: our own behind on the battlefield all the time, on 1666 01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:35,000 Speaker 1: the battlefield of ideas, we let our people just get 1667 01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:37,840 Speaker 1: eaten alive. And then we wonder why we don't have 1668 01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:40,559 Speaker 1: more media platforms. We wonder why the left has so 1669 01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:45,320 Speaker 1: much institutional dominance in places ranging from newsrooms across the 1670 01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:48,680 Speaker 1: country to Hollywood studios, to Netflix, to Google, to Facebook 1671 01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:51,559 Speaker 1: to you name it. Well, maybe if the people that 1672 01:38:51,680 --> 01:38:54,360 Speaker 1: know what's right actually stand up and fight, we won't 1673 01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:56,680 Speaker 1: be in this position. Maybe if the individuals across the 1674 01:38:56,680 --> 01:39:00,799 Speaker 1: country who understand that there are principles are at stake 1675 01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:04,200 Speaker 1: and that the left will just run us all over, 1676 01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:08,759 Speaker 1: they will go volonde rebellion on us if we allow 1677 01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:12,439 Speaker 1: them to. Metaphorically speaking, some of you remember that from 1678 01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,559 Speaker 1: yesterday's show, which actually got a lot of feedback about. 1679 01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:17,519 Speaker 1: I'm glad you guys liked a little bit of the 1680 01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,720 Speaker 1: history of well, the history of that and how it 1681 01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:23,960 Speaker 1: affects now. So as you can tell, I mean, I've 1682 01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:25,920 Speaker 1: thought a lot about this. I've also gotten a lot 1683 01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:29,280 Speaker 1: of heat for standing up for Tucker and now and 1684 01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,000 Speaker 1: really just standing up for Tucker's right to not lose 1685 01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:37,080 Speaker 1: his job or his livelihood because the left wants another scalp. 1686 01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:40,920 Speaker 1: You know, I think that that. So now I'm the 1687 01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,040 Speaker 1: eye of soroon has begun to turn onto me a 1688 01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:47,080 Speaker 1: little bit here. So just all you can do is 1689 01:39:47,200 --> 01:39:49,599 Speaker 1: be who you are and keep fighting. And that's true 1690 01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:51,200 Speaker 1: for all of you listening to this show too. Be 1691 01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:53,439 Speaker 1: who are, keep fighting and support the people that fight 1692 01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:55,880 Speaker 1: for what you believe in, because they need your support 1693 01:39:55,920 --> 01:40:00,360 Speaker 1: now more than ever. Rachel, Hello there, Buck. I thought 1694 01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:04,559 Speaker 1: your story on the French Revolution was gruesome and hard 1695 01:40:04,600 --> 01:40:07,400 Speaker 1: to listen to. I know that it is necessary to 1696 01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:09,439 Speaker 1: know for our children's sake. It's sobering to think that 1697 01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:12,519 Speaker 1: this could happen to us, God forbid. On another note, 1698 01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:14,400 Speaker 1: I was curious, how are you able to eat girl 1699 01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:17,559 Speaker 1: Scout cookie since you have ciliac disease as always Shields 1700 01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:20,559 Speaker 1: high or Rachel. Well, Rachel, I didn't discover that I 1701 01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:26,120 Speaker 1: had ciliac disease until twenty twelve, I think twenty twelve, 1702 01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:29,439 Speaker 1: So I've gone my entire life up until that point 1703 01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:31,800 Speaker 1: eating whatever I want, you know, thinking I have no 1704 01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:35,680 Speaker 1: allergies or intolerances. As you know, ciliac disease is an 1705 01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:39,760 Speaker 1: autoimmune disorder. It's not really an allergy. But so I 1706 01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:42,479 Speaker 1: know how all these things taste. So when I talk 1707 01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:45,320 Speaker 1: to you about drinking beer, kicking back, eating pizza, oh 1708 01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,240 Speaker 1: I did that for decades. I know all about that. 1709 01:40:47,320 --> 01:40:49,840 Speaker 1: I just can't do it anymore unless I want to 1710 01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:55,479 Speaker 1: drink sorghum beer and eat almond flower pizza. Some of 1711 01:40:55,520 --> 01:41:01,559 Speaker 1: you will laugh, but almind flower pizza is actually so 1712 01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:06,160 Speaker 1: There's that. If you're ever in New York City, the 1713 01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:10,000 Speaker 1: best gluten free pizzeria is called Keste, telling you the 1714 01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,160 Speaker 1: pizzas as good as any other pizza you've had anywhere else. 1715 01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:16,160 Speaker 1: My man Bart writes buck, is it not odd how 1716 01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:20,400 Speaker 1: the Dems always prioritize Muslims over all the other so 1717 01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:24,479 Speaker 1: called victimized minorities. This was made evident by the recent 1718 01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:27,559 Speaker 1: bill that was supposed to condemn Omar's anti semitism but 1719 01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,479 Speaker 1: didn't really. You see the same thing in England, France, Canada, 1720 01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:34,799 Speaker 1: and Sweden, where Muslims can bomb concerts, be head soldiers, 1721 01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:40,719 Speaker 1: ram trucks in the crowds, and yet avoid widespread condemnation. Worse, 1722 01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:43,599 Speaker 1: the government goes into overdrive to try to cover up 1723 01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:46,439 Speaker 1: the crimes. I think money is behind it. I suspect 1724 01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:48,679 Speaker 1: that all the leftist parties, including the Dems in the USA, 1725 01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:52,360 Speaker 1: are receiving billions of dollars in funding from some big 1726 01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:55,920 Speaker 1: Persian golf donors. This is being reported all over, nobody 1727 01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:59,120 Speaker 1: seems to grasp the sheer magnitude of the problem. Well 1728 01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:03,479 Speaker 1: Bart opened up a few things here. One is that 1729 01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:07,280 Speaker 1: you remember when you're talking about intersectionality and the way 1730 01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:12,280 Speaker 1: the left views competing identity groups and how they factor 1731 01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:15,240 Speaker 1: into the power structure. Right, that's what intersectionality is, and 1732 01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:17,840 Speaker 1: it's a it's a central concept on the or to 1733 01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:22,800 Speaker 1: the progressive left these days. When you see how they 1734 01:42:22,920 --> 01:42:25,240 Speaker 1: view things, it really is like they're putting it up 1735 01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:27,639 Speaker 1: on a wall, and you get points for different things. 1736 01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:31,559 Speaker 1: And so in the case of an ilhan Omar, you 1737 01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:38,920 Speaker 1: get points for being Muslim, female and black and being 1738 01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:42,280 Speaker 1: a born at born in Africa and then a refugee 1739 01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:47,960 Speaker 1: to this country. So you're a particularly protected person as 1740 01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:52,160 Speaker 1: a result of that status. And you know, Jews in 1741 01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:58,799 Speaker 1: this country and in Israel are considered well off, first world, 1742 01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:03,400 Speaker 1: highly educated, and white. And so even though you have 1743 01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:08,320 Speaker 1: this long millennia long history of oppression of the Jewish people, 1744 01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:15,320 Speaker 1: the intersectional left can't really adopt or can't really fully 1745 01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:20,519 Speaker 1: invest itself in viewing Jews as a minority that needs 1746 01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:23,400 Speaker 1: protection the same way that other minority groups do, because 1747 01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:27,760 Speaker 1: Jews do not fall into an oppressed underclass status in 1748 01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:32,640 Speaker 1: this country and in the post well, I was going 1749 01:43:32,680 --> 01:43:35,599 Speaker 1: to say, in the post war era of Israel, though, 1750 01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:38,360 Speaker 1: Israel is always ready for another conflict if it needs 1751 01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:41,000 Speaker 1: to be, But after multiple battles with its Arab neighbors, 1752 01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:44,200 Speaker 1: Israel is also considered not the oppressed, but the oppressed 1753 01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:49,600 Speaker 1: or in leftist ideology. So that's why they have this 1754 01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:55,679 Speaker 1: problem with Omar's anti Semitism. Omar's anti Semitism. They don't 1755 01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:57,840 Speaker 1: really want to call it out because they still view 1756 01:43:57,840 --> 01:44:02,120 Speaker 1: Omar as first and foremost a a victim, and they 1757 01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:05,160 Speaker 1: think that she is more a victim than the Jewish 1758 01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:10,679 Speaker 1: people that she obviously harbors some very nasty sentiments about. 1759 01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:13,080 Speaker 1: So team, you know what, I'm gonna do a double 1760 01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:14,360 Speaker 1: roll call because I know I went on a bit 1761 01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:15,880 Speaker 1: of a tangent there, and I've got a whole bunch 1762 01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:18,360 Speaker 1: more in the inbox here, So why don't we hit 1763 01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:22,760 Speaker 1: just take a quick breath, have that last sip of 1764 01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:25,800 Speaker 1: black rifle, although it's kind of late, so unless you 1765 01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:27,280 Speaker 1: got to work tonight, I don't know if that's a 1766 01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:30,160 Speaker 1: good idea. Coffee tends to keep me up at night. 1767 01:44:30,479 --> 01:44:35,760 Speaker 1: Brandon is called. Can you drink coffee late in the evening? No? Yeah, 1768 01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:40,439 Speaker 1: wait what, I don't drink coffee at all. You said, 1769 01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:43,840 Speaker 1: what I like my energy drinks, which I know are 1770 01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:46,920 Speaker 1: bad for you. But oh, you're one of these people 1771 01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:49,720 Speaker 1: that's made Monster Energy like one of the most profitable 1772 01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:51,800 Speaker 1: stocks to have owned in the last fifteen years. Or 1773 01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:54,519 Speaker 1: Monster Monster tastes. I mean, they're not a sponsor, so 1774 01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:56,479 Speaker 1: I can say that they taste like battery acid. But 1775 01:44:56,520 --> 01:44:59,160 Speaker 1: I might have like a red Bull over two days, 1776 01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:01,280 Speaker 1: kind of a red Bull? Really is that? Is that 1777 01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:04,120 Speaker 1: you're the one of choice, that's the one you go too. Yeah, yeah, 1778 01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:06,719 Speaker 1: it's because it's I don't know, it's like sipping soda 1779 01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:09,120 Speaker 1: or carbonated water. It's nothing like too bad, But I 1780 01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,240 Speaker 1: don't know. I love the smell of coffee. I just 1781 01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:15,800 Speaker 1: don't like the taste. All right, Well, I'm weird. Learn 1782 01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:17,559 Speaker 1: something new. Every day. We're gonna we're gonna come right 1783 01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:19,840 Speaker 1: back with more role calls. Stay with me, all right? 1784 01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:21,920 Speaker 1: So we're back with a second piece of role call. Here. 1785 01:45:21,960 --> 01:45:24,920 Speaker 1: We had so much coming into our inbox that I 1786 01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:27,479 Speaker 1: figured we could spend a little more time on it, 1787 01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:30,599 Speaker 1: and so here we are Brendan right looking ahead at 1788 01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:33,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. I believe it is abundantly clear that 1789 01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:36,760 Speaker 1: those that have chosen politics as a career choice have 1790 01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:41,200 Speaker 1: no intention of advancing the eight year Trump conservative movement. Unfortunately, 1791 01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:44,759 Speaker 1: the best candidate choices of Shapiro, Kirk, Crowder, or Owens 1792 01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:49,560 Speaker 1: won't be old enough to run for presidents. Perhaps Carlson 1793 01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:52,800 Speaker 1: Sexon or maybe Adam Carolla are the best choices we have. 1794 01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:56,160 Speaker 1: I think the people that have chosen political commentary is 1795 01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:59,960 Speaker 1: the only way a conservative message and policy can unapologetic 1796 01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:04,960 Speaker 1: be brought to the American people. What do you think? So? 1797 01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:08,679 Speaker 1: I think if you're asking me, do we have people 1798 01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:12,040 Speaker 1: who are old enough to run for president who are 1799 01:46:12,040 --> 01:46:15,400 Speaker 1: really conservative and could carry the message, but aren't part 1800 01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:17,920 Speaker 1: of the boomer generation. A lot of a lot of 1801 01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:23,840 Speaker 1: individuals would think right away of Dan Crenshaw, who is 1802 01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:27,520 Speaker 1: obviously a member of Congress, former Navy seal, very well respected, 1803 01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:31,479 Speaker 1: very reasonable in his approach to politics, is and is 1804 01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:36,000 Speaker 1: liked by conservatives in the traditional mold, as well as 1805 01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:41,599 Speaker 1: the different echelons of Trump world. So I think Dan 1806 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:44,360 Speaker 1: Crenshaw is somebody that you are obviously going to hear 1807 01:46:44,360 --> 01:46:47,400 Speaker 1: a lot more about. And I think that he's likely 1808 01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:51,160 Speaker 1: the future of the party in a lot of ways. 1809 01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:53,160 Speaker 1: And I know that's early to say, but he's certainly 1810 01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:55,200 Speaker 1: got all the credentials, and he's got the respect to people, 1811 01:46:55,200 --> 01:46:58,160 Speaker 1: and you could tell he's got the persona, the temperament. 1812 01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:01,639 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you're going to see Crenshaw twenty 1813 01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:03,840 Speaker 1: twenty four. Yep, I do. I think you are going 1814 01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:06,800 Speaker 1: to see Crenshaw twenty twenty four. And I think he's 1815 01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:09,800 Speaker 1: going to be a real contender. I've been saying for 1816 01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:14,080 Speaker 1: a while on the show, So where are Rhodes Scholar? 1817 01:47:14,160 --> 01:47:16,760 Speaker 1: Navy seals? And I know people who are so impressive 1818 01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:20,080 Speaker 1: in every respect, and I feel like they don't run 1819 01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:21,599 Speaker 1: for office. They just want to go into the private 1820 01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:24,200 Speaker 1: sector and have a nice life. But we should get 1821 01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:27,880 Speaker 1: more people that have really impressive backgrounds. And I know that, 1822 01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:30,240 Speaker 1: you know there's Tom Cotton, went to Harvard Law School, 1823 01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:33,559 Speaker 1: was a platoon commander. I think in Afghanistan. I mean, look, 1824 01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:36,519 Speaker 1: we get people like that who run for office. But 1825 01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:40,840 Speaker 1: Crenshaw is along that mold of you know, a supercommando, 1826 01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:43,920 Speaker 1: wounded veteran, really smart guy. I think you went to 1827 01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:47,200 Speaker 1: Harvard for not business school, but maybe got a Kennedy 1828 01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:51,439 Speaker 1: Kennedy school, So so some people the credentialing system works 1829 01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:53,439 Speaker 1: really well. Uh you know, I know I've been talking 1830 01:47:53,479 --> 01:47:55,960 Speaker 1: about how the elites are not what they pretend to be. 1831 01:47:56,160 --> 01:47:58,800 Speaker 1: But when you're when you're a combat veteran seal who 1832 01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:01,760 Speaker 1: then goes to Harvard and becomes congressman. Yeah, no, you've 1833 01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:09,240 Speaker 1: You're impressive. That's that's legit. Michael. Right, hold on a second, 1834 01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:13,120 Speaker 1: Hey Buck, remember those first Saturday shows? I do. I 1835 01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:15,680 Speaker 1: remember when I thought you were more libertarian than conservative. 1836 01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:19,080 Speaker 1: Since you have become more popular, I have learned the truth. 1837 01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:22,320 Speaker 1: You are more conservative than you have than you are libertarian. 1838 01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm what has been called the conservatarian by your friend 1839 01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:31,200 Speaker 1: Charles Cook. So I'm still a big fan of yours. 1840 01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:34,840 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering what do you think about this? Have 1841 01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:40,599 Speaker 1: you changed? Is it subconscious? Uh? Well, Michael, I think 1842 01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:43,439 Speaker 1: that like a lot of people, I evolve as I 1843 01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:47,439 Speaker 1: get older and think more about certain issues, and for example, 1844 01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:49,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that the libertarian approach on some 1845 01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:54,760 Speaker 1: stuff is because of the nature and the power of 1846 01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:57,880 Speaker 1: the progressive left that we face. It's kind of like 1847 01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:00,680 Speaker 1: people who said, oh, well, what Gandhi did with non 1848 01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:03,599 Speaker 1: violence worked in India, it would not have worked against 1849 01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:06,680 Speaker 1: the Nazis. And I'm not trying to make I know 1850 01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:09,000 Speaker 1: anytime you bring in Nazis, you're going way off the rails. 1851 01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:13,000 Speaker 1: But the authoritarian left has become much more aggressive and 1852 01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:16,120 Speaker 1: authoritarian even over the last five or six years. And 1853 01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:18,200 Speaker 1: so while we can sit around saying, hey, let's just 1854 01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:21,040 Speaker 1: have hands off with the government, man, no, if we 1855 01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:23,880 Speaker 1: don't win the fight and actually have control of the 1856 01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:26,880 Speaker 1: government that is making these decisions, they're just going to 1857 01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:30,080 Speaker 1: make all these decisions for us. They will be in charge. 1858 01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:33,200 Speaker 1: And so it's for me. Yeah, I would say that 1859 01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm I prefer libertarian. I prefer libertarian policies in a 1860 01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:42,640 Speaker 1: lot of ways. But I think that you have to 1861 01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:45,880 Speaker 1: take a conservative, a conservative's approach to winning on the 1862 01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:50,360 Speaker 1: issues and understanding that you can't sit this stuff out. 1863 01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:52,680 Speaker 1: That if you say, oh, we just won't have the 1864 01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:54,720 Speaker 1: government involved, what you're going to have is the left 1865 01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:58,160 Speaker 1: wing government involved, So you know, it's a little bit 1866 01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:01,160 Speaker 1: of a fight fire with fire response, but it's an 1867 01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:04,200 Speaker 1: honest response. My friend. That's it for today, Team more 1868 01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:07,400 Speaker 1: coming tomorrow, Shields High.
