WEBVTT - Trump Terminates Summit 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:16.640 You are entering the Freedom Hut. Trump has canceled the 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:21.440 summit with North Korea's Kim Jong lun. People are making 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:23.840 a very big deal out of this, but it's not 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.000 all that unexpected and doesn't necessarily mean that we can 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:31.520 still see progress there. Plus a traffic stop that led 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:36.320 to some horrific allegations against a Texas Highway patrolman. Turns 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.200 out they were all false, and we know this because 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.720 of body camera footage. We'll get into that, and also 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.880 what words are you allowed to say and what words 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.080 are you not? A debate, a discussion based on what 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.360 happened at a concert in Atlanta. We'll talk about that 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:55.120 and more coming up. This is the Bus Sets and Show, 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.240 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:04.959 matters with actionable and intelligence. Make no mistake, America, you're 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:13.120 a great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins. No, 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.280 Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody, great to have 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:22.800 you here with me as always. Oh boy, quite a day. 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.280 This is one of these days where you see that 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.160 one story break and you go, all right, it's gonna 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.360 be what everyone's talking about all day. That isn't an 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:34.160 amazing everybody's a North Korea expert today or even an 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:39.479 international relations, international affairs expert. Lots and lots of opinions 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:46.160 on this one. People getting into the Wikipedia, the deep 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.360 dive analysis of Wikipedia going on with with North Korean 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.480 nuclear negotiations in the past, and I mean journalists must 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:58.040 just be wearing their fingers down to the bone doing 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.360 Google searches over this stuff. What have what have we 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:06.000 been saying here all along? Team less than fifty all along? 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:13.799 It's a gamble. It was a long shot, long bomb 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.680 into the end zone, however you want to phrase it, 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.079 and doesn't look like it's going on ahead right now. 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:26.040 That doesn't mean now this is some kind of uh disaster. 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.240 It doesn't mean that anything has been lost. By the way, 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:33.440 I completely uh disagree with those who are coming out 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:38.160 and saying that this is we we've lost something here, 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.480 anything else but play sixteen and seventeen John just to 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:45.600 folks and hear from Trump himself. Based on the recent 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:50.320 statement of North Korea, I have decided to terminate the 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:55.880 planned summit in Singapore in June twelveth Well, many things 0:02:55.960 --> 0:03:01.920 can happen in a great opportunity lies ahead. Potentially I 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:06.120 believe that this is a tremendous setback for North Korea 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:11.200 and indeed a setback for the world. I've spoken to 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.520 General Matters and the Joint chiefs of Staff, and our military, 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.160 which is by far the most powerful anywhere in the world, 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.560 that has been greatly enhanced recently, as you all know, 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.880 is ready if necessary, if and when Kim Jong un 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:36.200 chooses to engage in constructive dialogue and actions. I am waiting. 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:44.800 In the meantime, our very strong sanctions, by far the 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:52.120 strongest sanctions ever imposed, and maximum pressure campaign will continue 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:57.640 as it has been continuing. But no matter what happens 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:03.240 and what we do, we will never ever compromise the 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:11.400 safety and security of the United States of America. There 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.920 you have it from the President. Look tried, Still a 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.840 lot of pressure in North Korea. They may, they may 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.520 come back to the table. Did anyone think this is 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.000 gonna be easy? Now? At least we didn't think it 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.560 was gonna be easy. And I can't speak for Democrats. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.159 They were just rooting against Trump, which in this case 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.520 really does mean they were rooting against America, though its 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.560 tough to separate those two things. Right when the president 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.920 United States is approaching a foreign country about an issue 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:43.120 of such critical national security importance. It was pretty clearly 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.119 we should all be at least hoping for the best. 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.760 That wasn't the case. In fact, there was a lot 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:54.960 of media chin wagging and chest dumping over this whole situation. 0:04:55.040 --> 0:05:00.360 Plate The art of diplomacy is a lot ard than 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.240 the art of the deal. Nobel Peace Prize. He was there. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.680 The letter that the President said is it sounds like 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.279 a thirteen year old stream of consciousness in a breakup 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:15.120 letter from Overnight Camp. Failure of the Trump administration's approach, 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:20.600 it's impulsive actions is the big winner. When you run 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.479 international affairs like it's a TV reality show and you 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:29.880 don't prepare, things fall apart. I mean, what are they 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:34.919 basing any of this on? Every administration before Trump has 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.360 been completely swindled in schooled by North Korea, every single one. 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.159 There has not been a presidency that has had to 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:48.440 deal with a nuclear North Korea that hasn't failed to 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.279 do anything meaningful to stop their missile program, to stop 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:56.760 their nuclear research, and just their general hyper militarism. So 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.800 you know, they can trot out as many I mean 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.760 the Democrats, right, Obama's foreign policy legacy is a joke. 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:06.039 It really is. It's just a joke. It's garbage. A 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.640 lot of people sitting in a room with around Obama 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.840 think they're really smart. They just weren't that smart, used 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.560 to being in the faculty lounge, used to getting a 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.679 lot of cheering for them on various left leaning news networks, 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:24.000 which is basically all but one of them. No real 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.120 world successes to point to you. A foreign policy team 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.679 of the likes of Ben Rhodes, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.920 not brilliant people, not trustworthy people, not honorable people. We're 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.279 going to listen to what they have to say, and 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.320 their supporters and their enablers, the Nancy Pelosi's of the world. 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.760 You know, I just want to hear from Nancy Pelosi 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.560 about where I can get the best butler service. You know, 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.200 she really doesn't have anything to add to this conversation. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.440 Oh but she thought she did, didn't she weighing in 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.240 on this one a lot Blake. Clip six. We got 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:06.280 the President's letter. The copy of the President's letter, um 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.120 chumming up. It's kind of like a Valentine. I think 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.760 it's a good thing for Kim Jong un here you 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:16.120 had a thug, a person who killed his own family members, 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.960 a person who has runs a police state, being legitimized 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.200 by the President of the United States. They were on 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.360 a par with each other. He got the global recognition 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.160 and regard. And when he got this letter from the 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:34.320 President saying okay, never mind, he must be having a 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:41.080 giggle fit right there now in North Korea. Nancy Pelosi 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.520 has a long history of rooting against this country. By 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.120 the way, I remember what she was like during the 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.920 Iraq War. I remember what she was like during briefings 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:57.160 from senior government analysts during the Iraq War. And let 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.640 me tell you, it was hard not to feel a 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.760 little twinge of rage when you got the sense that 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.200 she didn't want good news, even if that good news 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:12.640 meant lower casualty numbers of US troops abroad, meant stabilization 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:17.440 of provinces in Iraq. That would mean yes, lower casualties 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.160 for Rockies, but also a few of our guys coming 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:24.160 back wounded and maimed. She just wanted to make sure 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:28.160 that come back. In being the majority, keep her seat. 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.720 Hang out with fancy types out in Marin County in California, 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.400 I'm rooting for the country. I mean, she's a hack 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.760 and it has been, but she doesn't know it yet. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.800 It's very frustrating to see her waxing philosophical on this issue. 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.800 Let me just tell you this. The the whole oh, 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:50.679 you can't meet or you can't even do any outreach 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.560 to Kim jong and keep him on. The sanctions were 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.280 all in place. Nothing was given to Kim Jong un 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.920 here all right, people, Let's say, look Whoabama and in 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.040 raw and look what how the Republicans are so mad 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.720 over that. Yeah, that's because we showed up and said 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.719 we'll do anything to get a deal. We'll just give 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.280 you all this stuff. You don't have to do anything painful. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:13.400 Iron Obama really wants this. Trump says, you want to talk, 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.040 let's talk. I'm still gonna keep all the sanctions on. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.680 It's still gonna have the most crippling sanctions against your 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:24.040 regime ever. But we'll talk if you want the whole 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:29.200 legitimizing Kim Jong un thing. It's a pariahs state already. 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.800 How how are we going to chip away at this 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.679 problem by by what pretending it's an even worse country 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.120 or having more u N summits orre we talked about 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:47.280 how bad North Korea is, legitimizing it. That's been the 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.160 talking point for those with nothing better to say, stretching 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:58.480 back for multiple least three administrations, three different presidencies, both parties. 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.079 I don't want to legitimate as Kim joung owned, don't 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.000 want to legitimize them. Well, while we're so worried about 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.360 legitimizing him or not, the guy's getting missiles that are 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.400 he's gonna be able to, you know, drop a nuke 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:11.280 in the middle of Kansas By the time we finally 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.880 figure out, well, maybe we should have tried the legitimizing 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:21.960 talking to him process. What they've done before hasn't worked. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.960 We really don't want to have a military incursion, which 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.520 is a general way of saying military strikes to what 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:35.199 degree and how? And I I don't know. I'm I'm 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.000 an academic on the subject of of Korea. I'm not 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.679 a former practitioner. Right, this wasn't part of my AO 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:46.760 back in my government days. What would a strike looked like? 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.080 How bad would it be? We know it would be catastrophic. 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.800 We know a lot of people would die. And you 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.559 also know that any time you engage a military conflict 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.760 like that with a country with a vast military apparatus. 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.640 You know, yeah, a lot of their stuff is old, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.440 dusty a K forty sevens and artillery pieces from you know, 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.439 the fifties. Those things still fire, still kill a lot 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:12.080 of people. So it would have been a really great 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.520 thing if Trump had been able to move the football 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.800 down the field here. It would have been And it 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.520 really wasn't about whether you get a Nobel Peace Prize. 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.240 And I know people like to mock him and Joey Behr, 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.400 who I don't think could find Pyeong Maang on a 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:29.560 Pyongyang on a on a map. Um if if you 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.120 just you know, gave her the Korean peninsula, Where's where 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.360 is pyong yang? Joy, Well, I know where it is. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:42.480 I'll tell you where it is. Imbeciles all over the 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:47.280 place that are celebrating the failure of a diplomatic initiative 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:52.280 that one hasn't even failed yet. Just this is where 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.120 it is right now. It's eighteen months into the Trump presidency. 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.800 Unlike Obama, we don't get to look back at eight 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.559 years of failure and make a declarative and final judgment that, 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.040 oh yeah, it's a failure. This is different. This is 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.520 something else. This is the early stages of what will 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.560 certainly be I've told you all along and I know 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:16.280 you know this too. It's a process. It is a process. 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.720 There was no way this was going to be a short, 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.400 easy win. No one thought that was going to be 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.079 the case. But they're trying to hold Trump to this 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.400 and and it's just so frustrating to watch them gloat 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:35.680 over America's loss, because that is what they're doing. That 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.559 is what's happening today. It's not the end of the world. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:44.440 We didn't legitimize anything. Trying to talk you know, the 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.680 same people I I just I have to point this out. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:51.160 The exact same people right now who are all ha 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:55.920 ha ha ha nanna a boo boo about this summit 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:59.160 getting called off, are people who would tell you, well, 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.280 anyone who has anything about Afghanistan says, we need to 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.360 talk to the Taliban. You know, you know this general 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:05.760 and that general. They say, we have to talk to 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:11.760 the Taliban. Okay, So that doesn't legitimize the Taliban in 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:17.679 the Democrat foreign policy media industrial complexes eyes, right, that 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.560 doesn't somehow give it. But talking to Kim Jongan, who 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.920 who is head of state of a country with nuclear missiles. Folks, 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.640 we can pretend he's not, but he is, and we 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.440 can act like he's he's as I legitimate as you 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.800 want to. But it doesn't change the situation. But just 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:37.600 note that inconsistency. No, the only consistency that liberals give 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:42.800 you is their hypocrisy. Right, smart people, I e. Obama's 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.440 foreign policy team and generals that Obama was working with 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.679 in his administration, and I'm sure some generals now I'm 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.000 not I'm not saying that this isn't. This has become 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.800 kind of a consensus issue, but the Democrats will certainly defend. Yeah, 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.199 talk to the Taliban affixed Afghanistan, I can tell you 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.160 right now, and I don't care in any general says 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:04.760 that's preposterous. U never gonna work unless you think working 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.439 means eventually the Taliban runs Afghanistan, because that's what's gonna happen. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.199 But that they think is okay talking to Kim John Owner, 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.320 even trying to talk to him face to face, that's 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:19.800 legitimizing him, undermining our authority, all all all that stuff, 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:23.240 all that stuff. Oh, or maybe it's just because they 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:28.720 hate Trump eight four four eight to five eight four buck. 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.840 We're going to talk about some other subjects here today 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.040 beyond just North Korea. I promise you that. But we 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.560 have Michael also enjoining us. He's one of my favorites 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:40.200 on on all issues of East Asia geopolitics. He's from 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.600 the Hoover Institute. He'll be with us probably the next hour. Uh. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.800 Not having Gordon Chang on today just because we couldn't 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.080 get him, but we'll get him. We'll get him, come 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.680 hang out with us another time. Um, you know, Gordon's 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.680 always welcome. And Uh, this traffic stoff that I want 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.440 to tell you about is it should be a national 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.080 media story and it's not. And I find that very 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:03.600 very frustrating. And then some footage from a concert where 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.160 where a young woman said something and got called out 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.240 for it because of the rules we have around who 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.320 is allowed to say what words. So we're gonna get 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.560 into a whole bunch of different stuff today, but we're 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.520 still sticking sticking with North Korea for a bit more. 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:34.960 Eight four four to five, eight four buck, Stay with me, team. 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:40.000 This takes preparation, This takes the knowledge, this takes judgment, 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.560 and clearly it takes preparation, which the President didn't make 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.760 It's clear he didn't know what he was getting into 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.760 and now he's walking away from it. In this very 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:55.160 chummy palsy wellsy letter to Kim Kim jongman, Kim Dan 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.880 is the big winner. This is a blame America first statement. 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.040 Financy Pelosi. When she has a choice between playing Donald 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.880 Trump and Kim Jong in, she picks Donald Trump to 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.240 blame for no reason other than she's a Democrat and 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.080 she wants to score points against Donald Trump on an 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.560 issue where Americans should be unified against Kim Jong un. 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.400 She's so anti Trump. But there you could tell there 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:15.920 was a tenor to this. And I said this last 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.480 week that if Trump cancels, the press will blame Trump, 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:23.760 and Kim Jong ung chancels, the press will blame Trump. Yeah, 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:30.600 Fleisher's right on that one. It's true if they can pick. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.440 I've said to you before, I think that there are 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.320 a lot of liberals. If I walked around washing d C. 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.720 And asked them who's a bigger threat to world peace? 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.880 Trump or Kim Jong n, They'd say Trump. Who's a 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.920 bigger fascist? Kim Jong Under Trump? They would say Trump 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.480 and think they're smart for saying it too. This is 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:53.720 just yet another sign of Trump arrangement syndrome. But let's 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:55.600 hear you know who's I like on this. Let's hear 0:16:55.600 --> 0:17:00.120 from the DIRSH on this one, play fifteen. This is 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.760 playing into Donald Trump's strong suite. He knows how to 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.920 make a deal, he knows how to walk away from 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.200 the table, he knows how to offer to come back 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.679 to the table. I am certainly not going to second 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:14.640 guess our president when it comes to negotiating with North Korea. 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.680 I don't think he had any choice once he heard. 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.240 But I think once he heard what the leader of 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.919 North Korea said about the United States said about our 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.800 vice president, he had no choice but to walk away. 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:28.720 But he's walked away in a conditional sense, and he said, 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.480 I welcome you to come back, but on my terms. Remember, 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:36.159 we have most of the cards in this negotiation, and 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.760 I think the president's playing them. Well. Yeah, I think 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.159 so too. I like I like that. I like what 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.159 the DIRSH has to say on this one, not not 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.880 just on the legal stuff. He's good on North Korea 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:52.160 to look at that. I agree with them on this one. 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.240 Trump administration is playing the cards that they have. I 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.560 think they playing them pretty well, on the circumstances, I 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.480 think it's so funny. You really have to be his worically, 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.000 either ignorant or just not care about history to look 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:06.680 at what Trump has done so far in North Korea 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.240 and say, oh, yeah, he's failed. Oh really, what do 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.520 we get with eight years of Obama? Let's be honest, 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.040 what we give it? The eight years of Bush? And 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.879 what we get with eight years of Clinton? Massive fail? 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.439 As the kids say on North Korea, no question, no 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:26.560 question at all. Oh is it epic fail? Gosh, whenever 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:28.120 I say as the kids say, there's a good chance 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.840 I'm getting it wrong. Um eight four. If you want 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.280 to chat, what do you think about Trump and North Korea? 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:36.879 And uh, then we got some other stuff to discuss 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:51.640 as well. He's holding the line for America buck sex 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:56.440 in his back. All right, we got lines lit here 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.800 in the freedom hunt. Let's get chew it? Uh do 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:06.280 we in Georgia? Welcome sir, Hey, bug Shield time? How 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.560 are you doing, buddy Shield time? My friend? I'm good, 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:12.000 Thank you for calling in. Uh yeah, I just wanted 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.320 to make a comment on what you were saying about 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:20.400 the Taliban and Afghanistan and North Korea. Now you're right 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.800 on the fact that if we if we talked to 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:26.200 Taliban Engram do nothing but run Afghanistan. And I think 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.399 that if we would have march to Korea instead of 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.440 politicizing and the way we did, we wouldn't have to 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.600 be talking to him. Now. It's the same thing they 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.320 do over and over and over again. They politicize wars 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:41.000 and still letting people fight them. And we would have 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.760 this problem if we could take care of stuff at 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:48.280 the beginning. Well, I I think that the Democrats legacy 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.880 in general, on national security, on on issues of war 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:56.840 and peace. Uh, it's it's really bad. So there you go, 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:01.439 I mean, on on their positions stretch back in dealing 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.720 with the North Korea. In fact, you go all the 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:05.720 way back to the Korean War. I think it's interesting 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.359 when you see some of the debates and discussions around 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.280 what should happen there and people forget. I mean, it's 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.679 called the Forgotten War for a reason. Right, this is 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:18.720 under a U. N mandate. We lost large numbers of soldiers. 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:23.160 It just gets for whatever reason, lost by the wayside. 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.639 And you know, that was a conflict that very easily 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:30.800 could have spiraled even beyond what it was had had 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.320 we decided to retaliate against China more aggressively than we 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:36.880 did on the Chinese and go after them the Chinese mainland. 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:38.840 But but do we I hear you? Man? I mean, 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.520 this is stuff we're seeing from people now about how 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:45.080 it's legitimizing Kim Jong un. Do we think that he's 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.320 gonna just crawl up into a ball in the corner 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.000 and cry himself to sleep because we're delegitimizing him all 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:55.800 the time. I mean, this is nonsense. Indeed, well, shield side, 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:57.320 do we thank you? Thank you for calling him man? 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:01.880 I appreciate it. Bobby in Mississippi, you're up, sir, Hey, 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:07.359 but sheels high fields high listen, Uh, I gotta something 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.639 to tell the lift. In order to fail at something, 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.640 you actually have to have a negotiation first. Nothing ever 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:17.280 got started, So how can it be a failure? You know? 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:21.360 I mean they're just they're nuts, Yeah, I mean, what 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:22.960 how do they think this is gonna get any better? 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.000 But we've had sanctions for a very long time. Trump 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:27.480 has put on even more sanctions. But if you don't 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:31.359 open the purpose of sanctions, I think the Democrats forget this, 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:33.119 or they don't understand this, or it could be all 0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:35.919 the above, or they just pretend not to know the 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:41.160 purpose of sanctions is to create the circumstances for dialogue 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:44.560 on favorable terms for us and our partners, and the 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:47.840 sanctions right, it's not. You don't just sanction people because 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:49.680 you feel like it. I think the idea is to 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.080 get a change in their behavior, and to get that 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:54.880 change in behavior, you have to have a negotiation. Well, 0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:58.440 if we're if our negotiating point is we won't talk 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:00.360 to your leader because he's a you know, a big 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:06.320 fat dummy head, we're not gonna get anywhere. The rocket man, yeah, 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:09.080 rocket man no, But I mean, you know, Tremmy, you 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:11.280 you make a very valid point. What I'm saying is, Okay, 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:13.680 he'll call him rocket man. But if rocket rocket man 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:17.359 there there you go. You know he'll he'll call him that. 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:18.960 But the moment he wants to stop being a little 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.600 rocket man and start being the guy who could lead 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:26.560 North Korea away from being a a ghoulish relic of 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:31.399 the Cold War and the world's largest freestanding goolag, I 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:34.640 mean that's he could be that guy if you want, 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:37.000 you know, Kim Jong und could or he can be 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.280 a little rocket man, right, But Trump opens up those 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:42.800 those pathways. I can't even remember the Obama administration having 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.800 a serious moment in the national conversation about how to 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.800 deal with North Korea. It was like, yeah, sanctions, you know, sanctions, 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:54.320 and the Democrats gave him everything they wanted and that 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:56.480 was to them, that was a big win. But the 0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.399 United States really lost because they've gotten so far ahead 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.000 the two to four billion dollars we gave him, and 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:06.080 only in one area to be more against United States. 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:08.480 I hear you, Bobby, thank you for the calling and 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.800 good to talk to you down in Mississippi. Ah yeah, 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:17.920 there you go. Um go to uh. We'll talk more 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:19.840 about this later, but play eleven for me for a second. 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:22.600 One one more thing on North Korea. Well, I'm just 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:27.000 interested in Wait, Donald Trump did not explicitly answer what changed. 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.320 It makes me think that's not just a straight United 0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:32.600 States North Korea matter, that there's something involving China and 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:35.240 North Korea that the President doesn't like, but he's not 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.760 ready yet to come out and blame China for That's 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:39.840 just my guests, based on what the President said and 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:42.560 how he said it. Because it's logical you should explain 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:47.439 what changed? Why didn't he? I I've been saying that 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:49.280 all along, all day to day here in the office, 0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:54.240 and China is not helpful, not helpful on this one. 0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:58.239 Cannot trust the Chinese to have never mind the u 0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:00.960 S interests, but the world's interests at art on North Korea. 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:05.960 You just can't um they They're playing their own game 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:08.800 and they're playing for keeps on this one. So I 0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.160 think that's that's important for us all to keep in mind. 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:15.439 I do want to talk about the the situation with 0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:19.600 the NFL. This is getting so much tension everybody. You know, 0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:23.320 it's sports, it's politics. What do you what do you 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:25.639 guys think about that. I didn't really ask for calls 0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:27.560 on this earlier. I'm curious if any have thoughts on 0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:29.720 this one. I feel like this is I gave you 0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:34.600 a straight up analysis of it yesterday. It's a private organization, 0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:39.600 it hurts ticket sales. A majority, a huge majority of 0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:43.720 Americans don't want them to be protests during the national anthem. 0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:47.280
