1 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt from collusion to obstruction. 2 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: The Democrats are moving on now that the Muller probe 3 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: isn't going to give them the end of the Trump 4 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: presidency that they have been promising themselves. Will dig into 5 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: how this dishonesty on the left will unfold, plus all 6 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: of the latest from the Green New Deal. The nonsense continues, 7 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: and what does Rent Control teach us about why the 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: left is always wrong on economics? That and more coming up. 9 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 10 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 11 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again The 12 00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show begins the set. Do you think the 13 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: President of structed justice? Yes? I do. If it's very 14 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: clear that the President instructed justice. It's very clear. Eleven 15 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: hundred times he referred to them investigation as a witch hunt. 16 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: He tried to he fired, he tried to protect the 17 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: Flynn from being investigated by the by the FBI. He 18 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: fired Comy in order to stop the Russian thing. As 19 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: he told NBC News, he's intimidated witnesses in public. If 20 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,279 Speaker 1: that's the case, then is the decision not to pursue 21 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: impeachment right now, simply political if you believe he obstructed justice. 22 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: No publicans spent two years shielding the president from any 23 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: proper accountability. It's our job to protect the rule of law, 24 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: that's our core function. And to do that, we are 25 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: going to initiate investigations into abuses of power, into a 26 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:59,919 Speaker 1: corruption of justice, into a corruption and into construction of justice. 27 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, the real obstruction is the 28 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: Democrats who are obstructing this presidency. Welcome to the buck 29 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: sex and show everybody. I mean, I know we start 30 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: off with that the Nadler over in Congress, but we're 31 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: already there, folks, We're already there. They know that Muller 32 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,839 Speaker 1: doesn't have them, doesn't have collusion. They know it. They 33 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: know it. And so now all of the obvious, dishonest 34 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: and ridiculous walk backs, changing the subject, smoke screens, all 35 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: this stuff. They're all going to try to evade any 36 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: account of accountability. On the media side and on the 37 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: political side, they're just going to march on to the 38 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: next thing. Oh, it wasn't really Russia collusion we were 39 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: worried about. It was Trump's finances. We were worried about 40 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: all this time. It was the collusion of the deals 41 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: that he did back in the eighties or something. These 42 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: people have no honor. You have to remember, they have 43 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: no honor, They have no integrity. They just view this 44 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: as a street fight and whatever they have to do 45 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: to when they will. There's so much going on here, folks. 46 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: There's so much that you're going to see in the 47 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: next few weeks. Assuming the Muller probe ends as is 48 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: expected this month, that much we can say. It's supposed 49 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: to end this month, according to all the reporting I've 50 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: heard from sources in DC that would know that it 51 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: is going to end soon, and that there'll be a 52 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: report that's given to the Attorney General bar and he 53 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: will then be able to make a determination about what 54 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: will happen with that report. So we know that it's 55 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: supposed to kind out. They could reopen stuff, and you know, 56 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: until it's done. Yeah, yeah, it ain't over until the 57 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: fat Lady sings. Fine, but the Left has to prepare 58 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: the ground too. They can't just wait for the inevitable 59 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: disappointment among their friend ze partisans about this collusion situation. 60 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: That there is no collusion, that Trump has been right 61 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: all along, and I working through this problem together for 62 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: two years. Have not been wrong one time on a 63 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: matter involving Russia collusion. Not once. Not one time I 64 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: had to say, oh, you know that thing, uh that 65 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: I thought was true about collusion, Guys, I I got 66 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: that one wrong, you know, not once. How many times 67 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: have different pundits, analyst, newspapers, you name it said, oh, 68 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: you know, Don Junior is gonna go to prison any 69 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: day now. Oh, it's just a matter of time before 70 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: the other shoe drops, you know, Oh, there's there's they've 71 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: got him on the Trump Tower thing, they're gonna press charted, 72 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is. How many times have we 73 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: been told this wrong? Wrong, wrong, wrong all along? That's 74 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: what the Democrats have been, That's what their little media 75 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: lackeys have been. I'm usually somebody who takes the position 76 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: that being wrong, that having bad judgment on a matter 77 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: of politics, is something that we should leave open to. Okay, 78 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: maybe somebody made a mistake, you know, so that we 79 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: should leave the door open, and people saying I was wrong, 80 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: I admit it, and you move on from there. But 81 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: in this case, given the depth and breadth of the 82 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: effort to destroy this presidency with an obviously phony narrative, 83 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: with a phony dossier paid for by the Hillary Clinton 84 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: d NC. Given all the factors that we've seen here 85 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: and the viciousness with which they have gone after people 86 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: in Trump's orbit, defamed people that tried to, like me, 87 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: stand up for the president on this one, I'm sorry. 88 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: I can't let all of that pass. And so the outlets, 89 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: places like CNN that have been responsible for spreading this 90 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: garbage all this time, they should have to pay a price. 91 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: And the price is that we don't ever take them 92 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: seriously again. They should be considered unsious news organizations, partisan, biased, dishonest. 93 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: And if you think that that's excessive at this point, 94 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: here's a little vignette. Know, CNN has this whole crew 95 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: of national security experts. They call them Apparently if you 96 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: work in the federal government and you are an employee 97 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: of certain agencies, even if you have no particular knowledge 98 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: or judgment or expertise, they can call you an expert. 99 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: But a lawyer named Vinagrad was on CNN and this 100 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff I mean, This is a 101 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: perfect example of what we've been hearing. Major networks, major newspapers, 102 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: saying and writing about the president for two years on 103 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: this Russia clusia nonsense. This is an example of what 104 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, playclib one. His statement makes me sick 105 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: on a personal level. Preserving our heritage, reclaiming our heritage. 106 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: That sounds a lot like a certain leader that killed 107 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: members of my family in about six million other Jews 108 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: in the nineteen forties. This whole sea pack speech. How 109 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: many pieces parts of President Putin's to do list was 110 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: President Trump trying to accomplish today? He denigrated our institution, 111 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, and the US Congress. He spread 112 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: misinformation and conspiracy theories. He undermined the credibility of several 113 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: of our institutions. He's sowed divisions, He's sowed confusion. He 114 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: was speaking to his base, but he was also saying 115 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: things that really look like Vladimir Putin scripted his speech. 116 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: That's a national security expert at CNN, folks, that's what 117 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: they call her. I mean, she's actually an idiot, but 118 00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: a national security expert. Comparing Trump to I mean, she 119 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: is the trifecta. Trump is basically Hitler who killed six 120 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: million Jews in the Holocaust, doing everything Putin wants him 121 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: to do. Looks like Putin scripted his speech and undermined institutions. 122 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: I mean, she's hitting all the usual bs, collusion talking points, 123 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: making a fool of herself, and also on her point 124 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: that Trump mentioning heritage, you know, reminds her of somebody 125 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: else who talked about heritage. Hitler. Here's somebody that talked 126 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: about heritage in a public speech. Play clip two. It's 127 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: time to stand up, it's time to fight back, it's 128 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: time to reclaim our heritage, and it's time and we 129 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: are ready. We are looking for this fight. The future 130 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: of our country depends on it. Oh my gosh, Joe 131 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: Biden said he wants to reclaim our heritage. She's like, 132 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: he's like Hitler. I don't call people idiots lightly. I mean, 133 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: I think that there are people that that really do 134 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: need they do need to be put in check, that 135 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: they do need to be called out because what they're 136 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: doing is destructive and they're making fools of themselves. There 137 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: are people on the left that I have respect for, 138 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: at least on an intellectual level and on a personal level. 139 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: There are there are plenty of leftists that I like 140 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: and think are smart. I think they're wrong, but I 141 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: can I can deal with that. The people at CNN 142 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: puts on air are dishonest, imbeciles to talk about this issue. 143 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: Dishonest imbeciles. I've put out a request on Twitter and 144 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: getting a bit of attention. I've said, who wants to 145 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: debate Russia collusion with me? Find me a Find me 146 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: a leftist of some with some following and stature. Right, 147 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: it can't be some guy and some you know, living 148 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: in grandma's basement somewhere. But find me a leftist who's 149 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: on TV or who has a platform, who has been 150 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: talking about Russia collusion along. Who wants to debate what's 151 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: really happened here and what's the remarkables. I had some 152 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: some professor from the University of who gives a crap 153 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: APU decided that who wrote a book called proof of Collusion? 154 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm not even I can't debate you 155 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: on this because to debate your position that the Russia 156 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: collusion is a hoax is like is like talking to 157 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: an anti vaxer or a you know, I think, or 158 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: a flat earther. Okay, so Mueller isn't going to prove collusion. 159 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: They know it that's why they're all worried. And by 160 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: the way, if Mueller was going to prove collusion, trust me, 161 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: they'd be prepping with CNN and the stories and they'd 162 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: all be they're trying to walk away from this thing 163 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: as quietly as they can in the media. But Mueller 164 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: can't prove collusion. But this random third tier professor, he's 165 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: already proven collusion, you see. And if you disagree with them, 166 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: you're a flat earth. This is going to be the 167 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: way that they treat this because they can't handle it. 168 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: The the recognition that these people who all think they're 169 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: so smart, Oh, all these oh how could you not 170 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: understand that Trump worked with Russia in some plot to 171 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: steal the emails and that this turned the election? And 172 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: these people are insane. But they think they're so smart 173 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: and they understand that unless they do a lot of 174 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, figuring out how to how to you know, 175 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: bob and weave here and there, move here, move there, 176 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: change the narrative, move on to obstruction, you see, that's 177 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: what they're going to do. Unless they do that, there 178 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 1: might be a reckoning. People might actually say, why did 179 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: you get this so wrong? Person who thinks that he 180 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: or she is actually a genius, when in reality they're 181 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: not very bright. They're probably middle to middle to uh, 182 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: you know, bottom third of the intellectual pack of America. 183 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: Like what, why did you get this one so wrong? 184 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: How could you have been so wrong all along? They 185 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: need to avoid that because there are people who's in time, 186 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: they're they're the credible of their careers hang in the balance, 187 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: and there's just the beginning of some recognition here that 188 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: that's what's going on. So what are they going to do. 189 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: They're going to say that Trump obstructed justice and just 190 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: shift the investigation and engage in lawfare. Today they sent 191 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: out what was it eighty seven different people getting requests 192 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: for documents from the House Judiciary Committee, which the Democrats 193 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: now run. I mean, they're just they're going to drown 194 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: people in paperwork. They're going to ruin people with legal bills. 195 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: This is what the Democrat and they're going to call 196 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: it oversight and use a lot of flowery words about 197 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: all respecting our constitution because people are a nightmare or 198 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: these Democrats are despicable. They should if they were honest people, 199 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: they'd say, wow, maybe maybe you know, sure, we can 200 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: oppose Trump on policy maybe this whole rush of thing. 201 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: Maybe we were wrong on this one, maybe we did 202 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: get ahead of the facts. It's we're thinking, oh no, no, no, no, no, 203 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: that's not what they want to do. That's not where 204 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: they want to go with this. They're gonna say that 205 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: it's obstruction. You see. I mean we started the show 206 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: listening to Nadler, who was not an impressive guy, but 207 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: he's a political fighter. He's gonna try to you know, 208 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna try to score some hits on the President 209 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: and his people. For sure. Nadler is saying that obstruction 210 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: is the President calling this a witch hunt. So I 211 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: just want I just now want to be clear. They 212 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: think if you take someone like Nadler at his word, 213 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: the Democrats should be able to run a wildly partisan, destructive, 214 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: out of control, unconstitutional, not founded in any actual crime, 215 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: special counsel. And the President of the United States, who 216 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: is the target of this ridiculous fraud, the target of 217 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: this hoax. The President is supposed to be silent, you 218 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: see while this is happening, can't say anything about this 219 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: investing Asian because that's obstruction. He's the commander in chief, 220 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: he's supposed to just sit there quietly and take it. 221 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: If you listen to now they're the answers. Yes, these 222 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: people are absolutely off their rockers nuts. And now because 223 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: of enough, Oh Trump is so mean and he's terrible. 224 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: You know, enough people voted. You know, oh Trump is 225 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: so racist and sexist and all these the Democrats have 226 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: control in the House. You know, the media is a 227 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: very powerful tool and managed to convince enough people foolishly 228 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: to give the Democrats power. Look what the Democrats are 229 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: doing with just a taste of power. A bunch of 230 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: radical socialist lunatics. And now they're weaponizing the government apparatus 231 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: against the President of the United States while he's in 232 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: office under the flimsiest of pretexts. After doing this for 233 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: two years on Russia collusion, when they got nothing, I 234 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: have not yet begun to fight today, my friends, I've 235 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: got much more for you. Stay with me. The effective 236 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: impeachment is to overturn the popular will of the voters. 237 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: We must not overturn an election and remove a president 238 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: from office except to defend our system of government or 239 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: our constitutional liberties against the dire threat, and we must 240 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: not do so without an overwhelming consensus of the American people. 241 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment, or an 242 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and 243 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: opposed by the other. Such an impeachment will produce the 244 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come, 245 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: and we'll call into question the very legitimacy of our 246 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: political institutions. You may have the votes, you may have 247 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: the muscle, but you do not have the legitimacy of 248 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: a national consensus or of a constitutional imperative. This partisan 249 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: coup deta will go down in infamy in the history 250 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: of this nation. Wow, Nadler really opposed to impeaching president 251 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: for oh oh, that was Jerry Nadler in nineteen ninety 252 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: eight when Bill Clinton was on the hot seat. So 253 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: I just want to know what change between nineteen ninety 254 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: eight when impeachment should not be a partisan tool to 255 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: overturned the popular will of the voters, and now when 256 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: we know that they're going to try to slow build 257 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: up to impeachment. They're essentially going to put Trump's administration 258 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: through the meat grinder or see what comes out the 259 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: other side, and then decide then decide if they're going 260 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: to go full force on impeachment. But this is all 261 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: supposed to be a constant testing of the water. They're 262 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: gonna slowly turn up the heat. Turn up the heat, 263 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: see what they're doing. That's going to be the plan. 264 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: I do think by the way they end up impeaching 265 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: the president, I think that that's where we're heading. There. 266 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely unhinged base is going to demand it. There's no 267 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: way around it. There's not some reasonable Democrat party that 268 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden is going to come forward. And 269 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,719 Speaker 1: that's why I think it's it's important we all know 270 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: that this is what we're up against. Folks. They're gonna lie, 271 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: They're gonna do whatever they have to do in order 272 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: to destroy this president and to ruin him and impeachment, 273 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: even if it is counterproductive for Democrats, They're willing to 274 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: do it because they want to. I really believe that 275 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: as well. Usually politicians, they're they're only real interest is 276 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: self interest, as we just see most of the time. 277 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: But with these Democrats right now, I think a lot 278 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: of them have taken on hatred for President Trump. They 279 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: really really do hate him. Fortunately we have Trump around 280 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: who will fight back in this whole process. I like 281 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: this one shifty shift. I'd never heard this before. This 282 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: was at spac Place seventeen. These people are sick. I 283 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: saw a little shifty shift yesterday. Now it's the first 284 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 1: time he went into a meeting and he said, we're 285 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: going to look into his finance. I said, where did 286 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: that come from? He always talked about Russia, collusion with Russia, 287 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: the collusion delusion. The collusion delusion is real, folks. It's 288 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: not going away either. More for you on where the 289 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to take this in the waning days 290 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: of the Muller Paluza. Oh no, you mean Saint Muller 291 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: is not going to give the Democrats the end of 292 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: the Trump presidency. How will they ever handle it? Unfortunately, 293 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: they've got plans. I'll tell you what they are on 294 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: the other side of the break. So now we're waiting 295 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: for a report and we'll find out whether or not 296 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: and who we're dealing with. We're waiting for a report 297 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: by people that weren't elected, and now we have people 298 00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: that lost. And unfortunately, you put the wrong people in 299 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: a couple of positions, and they leave people for a 300 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: long time that shouldn't be there, and all of a 301 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: sudden they're trying to take you out with both. Okay, 302 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: the notion that we're talking about, the notion that there's 303 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: no evidence is just factually wrong. Just in the public domain, 304 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: there are literally reams and realms of evidence of Russian 305 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: outreach the Trump officials, and clear interest from Trump officials, 306 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: including the president's own son, welcoming the opportunity to get 307 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: dirt on Hillary. Circumstantial evidence, as opposed to direct evidence, 308 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: is what you go back and forth on that. I 309 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: think one of the things, and I don't claim to 310 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: be a legal expert by any means, but folks who 311 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: I've talked to have been in the prosecutorial business, have said, 312 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, when you're looking at conspiracies, it is almost 313 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: always based upon a pattern of circumstantial evidence. Bracy, Okay, 314 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: these people are absolutely out of their minds, and it's 315 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: because their reputations hanging the balance, and they know that 316 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: their power is at risk here because if nobody believes 317 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: them anymore, how are they going to stay in power? 318 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: How are they going to be important? That was Senator 319 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: Mark Warner obviously falling up after Trump is just like 320 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: these people are just completely full of it, and Trump 321 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: is right. But Senator Mark Warner. There, this is a 322 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: novel approach. Oh, collusion has already been proven. What there's 323 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: already proof of collusion where I'm sorry, taking a meeting 324 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: with a Russian person who says that she has she 325 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: has information that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton? You 326 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: think that's collusion? I need to understand that, because, by 327 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: the way, if that's collusion, then what has the mother 328 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: probe been doing all this time? No information was exchanged 329 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: at this meeting. Let's change the character a little bit here, 330 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: So you're gonna tell me that if the Hillary Clinton 331 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: campaign had a oh, I don't know, a British guy 332 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: approached them, who remember that's a foreigner. I know. Oh, 333 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: Russia is supposed to scare us so much, Brits or 334 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: foreigners too. British guy approached them and he's like, hey, 335 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm an investigative journalist and uh, I've got 336 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: some incredible information on Donald Trump that's gonna sink his candidacy. 337 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: Are they they they're gonna not take that meeting if 338 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: they have some you know, basically, or you know, no 339 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: one's gonna take that meeting in the Hillary Clinton campaign 340 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: or do they think we're all morons? I guess they do. 341 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: They're wrong, but they must believe this because I mean, 342 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: this is pathetic. We're back to the Trump Tower meeting 343 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: where no information was exchanged and nothing happened. And when 344 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: you look also at the connections that vezel Nitskaya, this 345 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: Russian woman has, you know, you know her background, it 346 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: looks like a setup. The whole thing looks like a setup. 347 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: She's gonna show up to this meeting. I set up 348 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: against the Trump campaign. You're gonna set up in this sitting. 349 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: This meeting doesn't have any information on Hillary, and I'm 350 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: going to claim she also wanted to talk about the 351 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: Magnitsky Act. I think Fusion, GPS or Perkins Koe and 352 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: one of them was, I forget what it is. You know, 353 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: it's tough to keep all this stuff straight. They were 354 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: involved in trying to get lobby I think it was 355 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: Perkins Koe. They're trying to get rid of the Magnitsky Act. 356 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: I forget some one of them was. But there's some 357 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: shady stuff and in her you know that that goes 358 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: to her motivations for this meeting. But that's the collusion. Well, 359 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: here's here's a surprise for Mark Warner. I don't give 360 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: a crap about that meeting. I don't think it was 361 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: I mean it might have been unwise to take under 362 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: the circumstances, because there was nothing that happened, and it 363 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: opened them up to all this lunacy. But nothing happened, 364 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: and who cares. And under the circumstances, I can understand 365 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: why somebody would have taken the meeting. They keep saying, oh, 366 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: Vesilandskaya with ties to Russia. Everybody has ties to Russian intelligence. 367 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: Everybody in Russia has an uncle named Yuri, that knows 368 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: somebody that knows somebody who's in the f s B. 369 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: You know, I mean this ties to Russian intelligence. They 370 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: didn't sit down and have a meeting with the Russian 371 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: ambassador for opposition information. And I think it's fair to 372 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: ask that's not criminal either. So what exactly someone needs 373 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: to explain to me? Mark Warner. See, then, never debate 374 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: this stuff in the open, And that's why this has 375 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: been so damaging the credibility of the media. None of 376 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: these people ever subject themselves to opposing points of view, 377 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: none of them will ever allow themselves to be cross 378 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: examined on this stuff. So so Mark Warner Senator Mark 379 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: Warner Virginia explained to me, this riddle me. This chief 380 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: taking a meeting with a Russian to find out if 381 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: there's opposition information about Hillary Clinton or her campaign. That 382 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: is a horrible, unpardonable sin. But paying through a cutout, officially, 383 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: your campaign paying through a cutout a foreigner, Christopher Steele, 384 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: to use foreign swords Russians, to compile a completely BS 385 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: dossier that you then, using Democrat allies in the government apparatus, 386 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: launder through the intelligence community to get FISA warrants, started 387 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: to spy on the campaign and Americans who had done 388 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: nothing wrong. You think that's not a problem. I mean, 389 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: do you think he has an answer? Oh, but you 390 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: know Bud, you know Brennan and and Comy, and these 391 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: are the great amer No, they're not. These people are clowns. 392 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: They are partisans. They were drunk with their own power. 393 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: They thought they were this special pratorian guard for the 394 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy here in DC, and they got caught with 395 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: their hands in the cookie jar, and their reputations have 396 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: taken the hit that they deserve. They should be thought 397 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: of as the partisan hacks that they are. Comy McCabe, 398 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: struck page, Brannan Clapper, go down the list, all of them, Yates, 399 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: all of them. Oh, but they were in senior government positions. 400 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: Like that's supposed to mean something to me. I don't care. 401 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: Having a senior government position doesn't mean you're beyond never 402 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: my criticism. You're you're beyond prosecution, You're beyond the ethical 403 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: boundaries that the rest of us would expect. Of course, 404 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: not Eric could. They're they're they're corrupt kings, stretching back 405 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: for as far as there have been kings. I mean 406 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: this notion that will you know, James Comy was such 407 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: an honest fellow, and you know the FISA process. They 408 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: would never abuse that. Oh oh okay. See I was 409 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: in the CIA when the Libs hated it, and all 410 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: I ever heard about was torture and rendition and all 411 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: these terrible things. That's all the Libs are talking about, 412 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: how terrible, and they they wanted to procute, they wanted 413 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: to prosecute some of my colleagues, send them to prison 414 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: for fighting the war on terror. Now, you can agree 415 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: or disagree with whether or not their tactics are right 416 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: or wrong, but let's not pretend that Libs think that 417 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: just because you have a senior position in a national 418 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: security organization of the government that you can have you know, 419 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: made made a big mistake Mark Warner. You know, Mark 420 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: Warner was on Meet the Press. So obviously he won't 421 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: get any real pushback from from Chuck Todd because they're 422 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: all in on this. This has been great. They by 423 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: the way, they have monetized this. I think you need 424 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: to remember that too. Not only have the Democrats been 425 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: using this in order to try to stop Trump's presidency, 426 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: because if Trump had been allowed to do what he 427 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: wanted to do without this investigation, because this is really cheating. 428 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: I mean, this is not this is not political opposition, 429 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: this is not making. This is dirty tricks, underhanded stuff. 430 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: You know, this is like, yeah, sure we had a vote, 431 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: but you know we were burning some of the ballots 432 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: that we didn't like. You know that that's not democracy, right, 433 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: That's not what's supposed to happen here. So when you 434 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: look now at what they've done, they've been able to 435 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: slow down this present. They've been able to scare away 436 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: a lot of good people from working for the administration 437 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: all of us, and many of them have made themselves 438 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: richer and more famous in the process. I mean, you know, 439 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: Jim Acosta has created a brand of just being a 440 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: overly hairsprayed idiot who makes a mockery of himself in 441 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: his hashtag resistance moments in front of the the administration because 442 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: he's a journal Oh, all these journals. Oh, it's so 443 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: scary to be a journalist in America, you know, I mean, 444 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: every death is a tragedy, folks. We've been like five 445 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: journalists killed on the job in the last thirty years. 446 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: Thirty years basically as long as I've been alive, there 447 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: have been five journalist killed in America. But oh, my gosh, 448 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: Trump is terrify all the journalists. It's so scary to 449 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: be a journalist. Now. These people have absolutely no shame, 450 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: and they're going to insist on avoiding accountability in every 451 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: way that they can, and they're going to move on 452 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: to this additional fairy tale of obstruction. Let's think with 453 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: us for a moment. I mean, you have congressmen who 454 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: are already saying that Trump opposing the investigation of him 455 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: and those around him, and saying that he does not 456 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 1: agree with it. Is he supposed to say he does 457 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: agree with it. I mean, this is really you know, 458 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna put the witch out in the 459 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: middle of the lake. We're gonna tie rocks to her. 460 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: If she drowns, then we know that. You know. If 461 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,959 Speaker 1: if she drowns, then clearly she's innocent. And if she 462 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: doesn't drown, well then she's a witch. And then we'll 463 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: have to burn her at the stake. Thanks. Right, What 464 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: is Trump's supposed to say? Here, you're right, I've been 465 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: guilty all along. You got me? Oh no, he's not guilty. 466 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: So that's what he's been telling people. And yet that 467 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: alone is you that's some kind of evidence of wrong. 468 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: I mean this it has been exhausting, has it? And 469 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: now that we're getting now that we're getting close to 470 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: not even really the truth, because the truth would be 471 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: McCabe federally prosecuted for lying, Comy prosecuted for official misconduct. 472 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the truth would be Hillary prosecuted. Yeah, 473 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: that's right, Hillary prosecuted for violating the Espionage Act over 474 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: one hundred times. That's what That's what real justice would 475 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: look like. I'm not saying we're going to get justice, 476 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: because we know in this country, unfortunately there are two 477 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: tiered There's a two tiered justice system, one for Democrats 478 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: and one for Republicans. But at least we will be 479 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: approaching the end of this collusion nightmare and all the 480 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: nonsense around it from the Mullar probe perspective, and the 481 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to act like nothing has happened, nothing changes, 482 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: The plan is still the same. That's what they're gonna do. 483 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna now run additional investigations as though they could 484 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: find out between now in election day. What Muller was 485 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: a team of Democrat seasoned, vicious prosecutors, by the way, 486 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: I mean, these are these are people that did not 487 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: give anyone an inch. Nobody got the benefit of the 488 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: doubt with these guys. That was a Republican. Where's Tony 489 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: Podesta by the way, you know the guy that's tied 490 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: to clinton close confidant, John Podesta, guy ran Clinton's campaign. 491 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: Remember how he was involved in lobbying overseas same organizations 492 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: at Manafort. Do we where's his Faraoh registration charge? I 493 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: could go through this all day. General Flynn gets charged 494 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: for lying about a non crime. Why shouldn't FBI Acting 495 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: director McCabe get charged for lying about misconduct while in office. 496 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: Anyone want to try to answer that one for me? 497 00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: How many times do we have to see this despair? 498 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: It's despicable, it's despicable, But they don't plan on changing 499 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: anything here. They they are digging in and they are 500 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: doubling down, and it's it's it's obviously very very troubling. 501 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: But we need to understand that we have to continue 502 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: to fight because even when this Muller probe finally comes 503 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: to a conclusion, they're not gonna stop. Trey Goudy, by 504 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: the way, it said that, you know this is just 505 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: all like we all know that, right, it's all politics. 506 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: I let's hear from Trey play five. Remember when Natler 507 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: and Shift didn't want to interfere with ongoing investigations. Does 508 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: anybody remember that they no longer have that concern? So 509 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: this is all about twenty twenty and they can ask 510 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: for it, but the President's got really smart lawyers, and 511 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if they produced it. Well, they sent 512 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: out to the eighty seven request for Joe. I mean, 513 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: they're just gonna They're gonna flood the zone with investigative requests. 514 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: They're going to flood the zone with legal bills for 515 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: everybody around Trump. These people, it's all just sore loserism 516 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: about Hillary in twenty sixteen for a lot of them. 517 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: You gotta remember this, and this includes people like Comey too. 518 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: They were expecting eight glorious years of being close to 519 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: the decrepid part of power that was going to be 520 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: the Clinton administration. That's what they thought they were owed. 521 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: A lot of people had to pretend that Hillary was likable, 522 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: that Hillary wasn't a sociopathic grasper, a greedy, lying, manipulative 523 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, they all had to sort of just pretend. 524 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: But the point was they were going to get eight 525 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: years of Queen Hillary, you know, yeay queen, and they 526 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: were going to get all the all the trappings of 527 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: power and wealth that came along with it, and then 528 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: Trump stole it from them. And they're not going to 529 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: let that go because now, who knows the next Democrat 530 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: nominee is going to be. Even of twenty twenty works 531 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: out for the Democrats, which I don't think it will. 532 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: There are a lot of left wing Democrats, or I 533 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: should say, pardon me, not, a lot of establishment Democrats 534 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: who cannot will not forgive what they feel was stolen 535 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: from them, because you see, they're really important people, they're 536 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: really powerful. There are kind of people that go on 537 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: TV and say collusions already been proven. How do you 538 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: not know? Yeah, those people, they're not going to change anything. 539 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. So while he's talking collusion, collusion, collusion, 540 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: I think in oversight we should be talking about taxes, 541 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: taxi taxes, and his bank accounting, bank accounts, his bank account, 542 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: his financial statement, statement statements, because that's where I think, 543 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: actually some of the most troubling practices are with direct 544 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: relevance to the American people under the scope of oversight. 545 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: The good news for us is that aoc there o'cazio 546 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: Cortez is too dumb to high the plan, and the 547 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: plan is, although it is obvious what the plan is 548 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: to be fair, to essentially engage in an IRS style, 549 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: all in audit of everything a president has ever done, 550 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: all of his personal finances, all of his bank accounts, everything. 551 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: Just investigate him and when he was a private individual 552 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Just investigate everything. Now, what I would want 553 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: to point out is that the people that are telling 554 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: you and have been telling you for two years now, 555 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Trump is undermining your institutions. How can 556 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: any American have any faith in Congress as an institution 557 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: in our government right now as an institution if the 558 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: response that we're going to see from elected officials when 559 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: they don't agree with someone is to just conduct a 560 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: fishing expedition of everything in their life. And now you 561 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: might say, Buck, that's what politic be is No, no no, no, 562 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: I'm talking about using subpoena power the law. I'm talking 563 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: about the use of the force of government to pry 564 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: into someone's life. Never mind the you know we've they've 565 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: already tried everything. They already tried their October surprise with 566 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: the Billy Bush tape and all that they've done, all that, 567 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: we've already been through all that. Now it's going to 568 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: be seize his records, seize his bank account, seize his taxes, 569 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: and we all know those are going to get leaked, right, 570 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: we all know it. This is the way the Democrats 571 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: play the game. It's dirty. But there you have to remember, 572 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: there are zealots. They are radicals. Now the Democrats have 573 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 1: radicalized as a party. And that's why what would stop 574 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: normal people from acting in this way won't stop them. 575 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 1: Because they think that they are on a mission from 576 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: Gaia or you know, Mother Earth or whatever they pray to. 577 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: We've got more coming up, teams.

And when I look at what's happening on 597 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: the other side, I encourage it. I say, no, no, 598 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: I think the New Green Deal or whatever the hell 599 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: they call it, the Green New Deal, right, green New Deal, 600 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: I encourage it. I think I think it's really something 601 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: that they should promote. It is something that we should 602 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: laugh at, although we also have to take it seriously. 603 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: It is worthy of mockery. But just because you mock 604 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: something does not mean that it can't be a problem. Right. 605 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: In fact, I think that satire and mockery are very important, 606 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 1: very potent, and necessary political weapons. But I would also 607 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,439 Speaker 1: say that, yeah, we need to we need to have foam. 608 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: All we talk about the Green New Deal, but we 609 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 1: need to be aware that this could become our reality 610 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: much more quickly than I think a lot of folks realize. 611 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: Because it is a It is a cult, and I 612 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: really mean that. I mean, this is not a normal 613 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: people are not normal when they talk about the Green 614 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: New Deal. They do not approach this from the perspective 615 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: of let's have a rational discussion. It's why don't you 616 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: want the earth to survive? And they completely freak out, 617 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: and they lie about it a lot. But before I 618 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: get to the freak out chorus on the Green New Deal, 619 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: we should at least establish that this is where you 620 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 1: see the Democrats embracing socialism really across the board. Every 621 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: major Democrat candidate for president right now has signed on 622 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 1: for the Green New Deal, every single one of them. 623 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: The Green New Deal is socialism, make no mistake about it. 624 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: That is what the Green New Deal is. And Kirsten Jillibrand, 625 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: who is a big fake Aphonian, a liar, she can 626 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: say as much as he wants about this, Well, she 627 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: doesn't really know very much about anything, but she is 628 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: now claiming that the Green New Deal is something Republicans 629 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: can go for. I mean, I don't know if she's 630 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,359 Speaker 1: not smart or delusional or what, but play glibble looven. 631 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 1: So you think there's coming ground on a Green New 632 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: Deal in medic You think you can get Republican votes 633 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: for that? Yes, modern republicans can. I tell you why, 634 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: because I believe it. So the Green New Deal is 635 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: three things. These are not new ideas. It is infrastructure, 636 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: which is widely bipartisan. More money for mass transit, more 637 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 1: money for electrocrids, more money for rural water supplies, roads, bridges, everything. 638 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: The second piece of the Green New Deal is jobs. 639 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: It's all about training people to do win solar to 640 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: your thermal hydropower, biofuels, and we do that in New York. 641 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: I mean, the Green New Deal. If it's going to 642 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: involve infrastructure spending that the Green New Deal would be 643 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: okay with, is going to be the biggest waste of money, 644 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: the biggest boondoggle, the biggest fraud of a public works 645 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: project in the history of the planet. Keep in mind 646 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 1: that if we were to really take these people seriously 647 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: and do what they want us to do, without a 648 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: replacement for for fossil fuels in our economy, which we 649 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: do not have, not only would the economy screech to 650 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: a halt, you would also have people starving. I mean, 651 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: fossil fuels are necessary for the production of food, for 652 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: the transport of food. I mean. The level of catastrophe 653 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: that we would have to endure to go to a 654 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: net zero carbon emission society is astonishing. It's the kind 655 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: of thing that only a zealot, that only a radical 656 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: could push for. But that's what they're doing, and I 657 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: think that it's important that everyone understand what we're up 658 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: against here. The Green New Deal is a religion of 659 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: the left. These are people who want to inflict themselves. Remember, 660 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,799 Speaker 1: it's not religious belief in the sense that this is 661 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:54,280 Speaker 1: their spirituality, that's private, that's personal, that guides their own lives. 662 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,919 Speaker 1: In fact, one of the defining characteristics of the Green 663 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: New Deal is the hypocrisy of the high priests and 664 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: priestesses of it, as we see from o'cazio Cortez and 665 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: the New York Post piece on her that says that 666 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: you know she's her head quarter is real close to 667 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: a subway. It doesn't take the subway. It spends a 668 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: lot of money on ubers and flies instead of takes 669 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: the train from New York to DC whenever she can. 670 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: So you know, she's not talking the talk and walking 671 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: the walk. Or maybe she's talking the talk, but she's 672 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 1: not walking the you know what I mean. However, that 673 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: foom and wants can't get fooled again, you know what 674 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But this is a this is a left 675 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 1: wing religious belief, and there is no room for heresy. 676 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: You will be made to believe too. You will be 677 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,879 Speaker 1: made to live under the mandates of these Green New 678 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 1: Deal high priests and priestesses too. That's what makes this 679 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: so aggressive and so problematic for all the rest of us. 680 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: If you know, it's one thing for like think of 681 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: this like vegans, Vegans can be pretty radical. Vegans can 682 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: be pretty intense. I'm not saying all the minute. Thirdlier 683 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: vegan listening to the show, I'm not necessarily something. You 684 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: just think it's healthy, and that's cool. And look, I 685 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 1: got no problem with vegans. People want to eat what 686 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: they want to eat. That's fine. You know, I probably 687 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: eat too much high fat and cheese and things like 688 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,240 Speaker 1: you know, everyone, you know, these are our own personal choices. 689 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 1: But imagine a vegan who came into Oh, you know 690 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: who's a vegan, Corey Booker. It's all you need to 691 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: know about him, it's all you need to know. Can't 692 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 1: can't trust them, uh guy, guys like, oh, I can't 693 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: eat bacon, and I can't can't trust them. But imagine 694 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 1: a vegan that said that you have to live the 695 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 1: same lifestyle that they do. That is kind of like 696 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: the Green New Deal people, except they don't want to 697 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 1: live a vegan lifestyle. They just want you to live 698 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: a vegan lifestyle. That's right. They want to take this 699 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: steak out of your mouth while they're sitting there chomping 700 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,399 Speaker 1: on a ribbi right in front of you. No, I'm 701 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 1: not a violent hand, but that might push even the 702 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: most even tempered of us to take matters into their 703 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: own hands. You take the ribbi out of my mouth 704 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: and you eat it in front of me, We're gonna 705 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: have problems. But that's imagine the the kind of extremism 706 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: and evangelism of a vegan, but they're not going to 707 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,240 Speaker 1: actually do it. Only you get to live that lifestyle. 708 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: That's what the Green New Deal is. That's how this 709 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: is is so different. And if you have any doubts 710 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 1: about whether this is it's fair to call this a 711 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: religious belief, remember there there and there's all kinds of 712 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: you know, Satanism is a religious belief. You know, the 713 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: Thuggy Cult of India was a religious belief. There's a 714 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: lot of religious beliefs out there. Right. Just because something's 715 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,360 Speaker 1: a religion doesn't mean that we have that's another fallacy. 716 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: Just because it's a religion, I have to respect it. 717 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,800 Speaker 1: False I do not. I do not have to respect 718 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: it just because it's a religion, Because if that were 719 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: the case, the Church of the Flying Postafarian or the 720 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 1: Flying spaghetti Strainer or whatever it is, I'd have to 721 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 1: respect that religion too, and I don't. But in case 722 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 1: you had any doubts, you are now seeing an increase 723 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 1: in these movements of people and just seeing more public 724 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,280 Speaker 1: commentary from people who are saying that they're so afraid, 725 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 1: they're so afraid of what the future holds because of 726 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: climate change of stea, that they won't even have kids 727 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: play clip twenty one. Our planet isn't a kind of collapse. 728 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: The natural world is collapsing around us, and that's actually 729 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: happening right now. And I'm so disappointed by the response 730 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 1: by our authorities to this crisis and so freaked out 731 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: by it everything I've read that I've basically last year, 732 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: I came to the decision that I couldn't bring a 733 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 1: child into that, and you have come to the same conclusion, Alice, Yeah, 734 00:44:55,280 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: I have. I'm I mean, each day for me is struggle, 735 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: I really do. Just I'm so depressed and that has 736 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: led to just a fear that I've never felt before. 737 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: And my decision for being on birth strike, and mostly 738 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,359 Speaker 1: has come from not wanting to pass that fear onto 739 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 1: someone else. If we're in this situation now, you know, 740 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: even since my parents had me, we've destroyed sixty percent 741 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: of life on this planet. What would that be like 742 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 1: when my child's my age, will there be ten percent left. 743 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: That's not just to do with being, you know, a 744 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: nature of what life enthusiasts like I am. That's actually 745 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 1: that's dangerous as well. Yeah, it's like I can't bring 746 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: kids into the world because you know, climate change and 747 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: we're losing all these species, and if we don't have 748 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 1: an ample supply of delve to smell in the natural 749 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: habitat in the Simi Valley of California, I just feel like, look, 750 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 1: it's just not worth it anymore. Yeah, so I needed 751 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: four thousand brown m and M's or Rosie wouldn't go 752 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 1: on stage that night. I managed to take care of 753 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 1: the target with a can of mace, but the shopkeeper 754 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 1: in her sum was a different story altogether. All right, 755 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, So, but those people are crazy, right, I mean, 756 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,959 Speaker 1: they're they're actually nuts. I can't have a baby. I'm 757 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 1: on birthstrike. I've never heard of that before. Birth strike 758 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: they're they're on birth strike because of the Green New Deal, 759 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 1: because of how dangerous the world is going to be 760 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: going I'm sorry, because of the lack of a Green 761 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: New Deal, because of how dangerous the world's gonna because 762 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:41,359 Speaker 1: a climate change. Really, these are adults, folks. These are 763 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 1: people that at least ostensibly can read and write and think. 764 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: And not only are they truly some of them, I 765 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 1: mean I do believe that a lot of them. This 766 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,919 Speaker 1: is just a political mobilization tool. It's classic Alinsky. Once 767 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 1: you mobilize a people on pollution, then you have them 768 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 1: to mobile lies on corruption, then you have the mobilize 769 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 1: them on racism. You know, once you get people all 770 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 1: riled up about one thing, it's very easy to move 771 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 1: them onto another thing. And so this is essentially a 772 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 1: mobilization tactic. But the Green New Deal is really at 773 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 1: its core for those who are the high priests and priestesses. 774 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: I don't think they really, I don't think they're the 775 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 1: true believers. The true believers are those women who are like, yeah, 776 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: it's just you know, I just don't want to have 777 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 1: a baby because it's like one degree centigrade. It might 778 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,760 Speaker 1: be like one point two degree centigrade in a hundred years, 779 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 1: And what will my child think if it's point two 780 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 1: degree centigrade warmer on a global average based on incredibly 781 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:46,240 Speaker 1: inaccurate data of measuring global temperature. My child just couldn't 782 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: handle it, right. And plus he'll be like really old, 783 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: like he'll be like a hundred and he'll be very 784 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,879 Speaker 1: warm all the time, right, I mean, you know she's 785 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: got a point there, right. But the high priests and 786 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:02,280 Speaker 1: priestesses of climate change, they they don't view this really 787 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:07,760 Speaker 1: as saving the planet. They view this as controlling the planet. 788 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 1: The Green New Deal is all about the implementation of 789 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 1: socialism and control. The Green New Deal is not at 790 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 1: its core for the people that are running it, for 791 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,000 Speaker 1: the people. It's like the Communist Party, right, think about 792 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 1: the Commnist Party in the Soviet Union. Were there some 793 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 1: true believers you know, was well, Trotzky was, but that's 794 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 1: why they put an ice axe in his head, you know, 795 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 1: lett in him. We're that true believers, yeah, but we're 796 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 1: most of the polite borrow early on really just people 797 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 1: that realize that they were in the power loop and 798 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: that they just needed to keep this thing going, to 799 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: keep the con going. Yep, that's what the Green New 800 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 1: Deal is. It's really about control. And people would argue 801 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 1: that a lot of religions are about control, and that 802 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 1: that's actually been at the heart of much of a 803 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 1: religious belief for a very long time. And now we're 804 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,240 Speaker 1: getting into a deeper theological conversation than I had intended. 805 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 1: But in this case, in this instant, they are emotionalizing 806 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 1: the topic with religious fervor of climate change hist area, 807 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: people are convinced they shouldn't have babies. People are convinced 808 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,879 Speaker 1: that they should tell ten year olds the world's gonna 809 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 1: end in ten years or twelve years. And if you 810 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 1: by the way SNL, you know I rarely give an 811 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: SNL shout out. The Dianne Feinstein clip they did on 812 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 1: SNL is actually pretty funny, so I would recommend you 813 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 1: go check it out. It's on YouTube, just type in 814 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: and search for it. But they're terrifying small children. They 815 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,800 Speaker 1: are willing to destroy our economy, but they will be 816 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 1: in control, and they know that that is ultimately the 817 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 1: single most important thing them because control is power. Control 818 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 1: is just a form of power.

Hello, did you miss me? 843 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: Hillary's back back and as charming as ever. I don't 844 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,759 Speaker 1: know what what it's going to take for Hillary to 845 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: step out of the public eye. Oh she can't. She 846 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,400 Speaker 1: can't help herself. I will say, I'm a little disappointed 847 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 1: because there was a there was a time, and I 848 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,880 Speaker 1: said it on the show many times, there was a 849 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 1: time when I really did, I really did believe that 850 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton was going to run again. And I'm I'm 851 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,879 Speaker 1: I will admit when I'm wrong, folks. Hello, I will 852 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 1: admit when I'm wrong. And I think that Hillary is 853 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: this time. I think she's probably not running. That's right, 854 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 1: all right, Maybe she's not running. Fine, I might have 855 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 1: gotten I might have gotten this one wrong. Um, I 856 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 1: might have gotten this one wrong. But Hillary is still 857 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 1: gonna be out there. So I don't think that you're 858 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 1: gonna have a Hillary free twenty twenty because she's gonna 859 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: she's gonna be a surrogate. She can't help herself. She 860 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,320 Speaker 1: has to be near the near the spotlight in some capacity. 861 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 1: Oh wait wait, I I forgot to get to this. 862 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 1: Mazie Herono, I think the dumbest person in the Senate, right, 863 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 1: I give her that. I give her that title. There 864 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,279 Speaker 1: are some others that are very close. It's a tough call, 865 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 1: but I think Mazie Herono is in fact the dumb 866 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 1: person in the Senate. She had some thoughts on climate 867 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 1: change too. Play clip nineteen. Can tell me what you 868 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: were saying about. Were trying to get rid of air 869 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,879 Speaker 1: travel and I said, well, that's gonna make it hard 870 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: for Hawaii. But what with a Green New Deal stands 871 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,880 Speaker 1: for is the a recognition that climate of change is happening, 872 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 1: not sticking our head in the sand. So it's really 873 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,839 Speaker 1: crazy at Trump and all his minions and his ilk 874 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,920 Speaker 1: who think that global warming and climate change is not 875 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 1: happening and they'd rather just stick their heads in the sand. 876 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 1: They offer absolutely zero in terms of what they would propose, 877 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: So all they can do is lock an attack, And 878 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,560 Speaker 1: I think that is a crazy position because they are 879 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:24,000 Speaker 1: denying the science behind climate change. Yeah, we mock and 880 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 1: attack it because it should be mocked, an attack because 881 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,400 Speaker 1: it's idiocy. I just want to note that, you know, 882 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 1: Senator Horrono, I think that she really, you know, she's 883 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,320 Speaker 1: she really came through here, folks, She really did. Because 884 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 1: if you recall when the Green New Deal was initially 885 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 1: came out, Maizie Horono was the one who got a 886 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: little bit of attention for saying, well, if we eliminate 887 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 1: air travel, that will make things hard for Hawaii. Right 888 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 1: she said that, And it was one of these you know, 889 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,560 Speaker 1: broken clock right twice a day scenarios where you go, 890 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 1: whoa look at Mazie Heron no smarter than o'cazio Cortez. Right, 891 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 1: she she understands something that apparently a leading luminary of 892 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 1: sorts on the left does not understand. And yeah, but 893 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 1: then but then she decided to walk it back a 894 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: little bit. Then she decided sure enough that she had 895 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,239 Speaker 1: given a little help to the Republicans by being saying 896 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,879 Speaker 1: for a moment by accident, nonetheless, and she just want 897 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,760 Speaker 1: us to know, oh no, no, no, sen Senator heronos 898 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,239 Speaker 1: in fact a straight up idiot, and she regrets that 899 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,680 Speaker 1: moment where she said something accidentally that was insightful or intelligent, 900 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 1: And she would like the left and the Democrats to 901 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 1: know that she is still a full a full law 902 00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 1: and imbecile and does not have anything to add to 903 00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 1: this discussion worthwhile at all. Opposing the Green New Deal 904 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 1: is not crazy. What's crazy is is, or rather, the 905 00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 1: Green New Deal is not crazy, Opposing it is so 906 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: so there's so there's that speaking of one thing, you know, 907 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 1: I will miss this back to the Hillary thing for 908 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: a moment that we will have the Trumpster going full 909 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,439 Speaker 1: on mockery of Hillary, which which would have been great, 910 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 1: but at least we will have the Trumpster mocking Elizabeth Warren, 911 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 1: who's so very very richly deserves it. Play. This was 912 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:19,759 Speaker 1: him at Seapac Play twenty. I should have saved the 913 00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 1: Polka hunt this thing for another year because I've destroyed 914 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: her political career and now I won't get a chance 915 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:28,800 Speaker 1: to run against her, and I would have loved it. 916 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,399 Speaker 1: We gotta you know, I don't want to knock out 917 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 1: all of the good stuff and end up with somebody 918 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:40,320 Speaker 1: that's actually got talent. That would be terr Yeah. I 919 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 1: think you know that the Trumpster's got a point here. 920 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 1: He is single handedly forced Elizabeth Warren, or brought Elizabeth 921 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,880 Speaker 1: Warren to just take her political her political chances the 922 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,239 Speaker 1: presidency and essentially liked them on fire just because she 923 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,160 Speaker 1: was so rattled by Trump messing with her. So it's 924 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 1: one of Trump's magic. It's one of Trump's super ours, folks. 925 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:07,720 Speaker 1: He really gets under libs skin. Let's talk about rent control? 926 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: Shall we now? Hold on a second? Don't even think 927 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,279 Speaker 1: about skipping past this segment because you're like, oh, buck, 928 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: I don't have rent control in my area. I don't 929 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 1: really care. Rent control is becoming a more popular idea. 930 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: It's usually associated with New York City, which is why 931 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 1: I know quite a bit about it, including from friends 932 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 1: of mine who have rent control departments. But now we 933 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 1: have whole states, whole states that are thinking about going 934 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 1: rent controlled in terms of housing. And this is one 935 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 1: of these moments where we can really look at what 936 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:49,480 Speaker 1: progressives are proposing and doing. What government intervention does? You know? 937 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,520 Speaker 1: This is a rubber meets the road moment for why 938 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 1: conservatives are right and liberals are wrong on an issue 939 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 1: of economics that really affects me's lives, all right, And 940 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 1: that's what that This piece by Mark Hamingway is a 941 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,200 Speaker 1: great writer. It's in the Wall Street Journal, Oregon's progressive 942 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:11,120 Speaker 1: politicians want rent control for all. Is really an interesting 943 00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,479 Speaker 1: read because this is the first time. As I mentioned, 944 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 1: Oregon is going to be the first state to have 945 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,160 Speaker 1: statewide rent control. Now what that what that means in 946 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 1: this context is that there can only be a certain 947 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:29,080 Speaker 1: a certain cap on rent, a certain cap on rent 948 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:35,480 Speaker 1: that you can't go above as somebody who is a landlord. Now, 949 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 1: this is in response to rising prices, so see, and 950 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 1: this is this is a perfect think about how this 951 00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 1: works in this case and apply to so many other 952 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:51,000 Speaker 1: things that libs do. Right, they see a problem, they 953 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 1: don't think about what's caused the problem, and their immediate 954 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:59,160 Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction is to try and fix the problem 955 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:06,680 Speaker 1: with government mandates, with government intervention, community organizers, agitators, left 956 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,440 Speaker 1: wing groups, all this stuff. They all start picketing and 957 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:14,439 Speaker 1: saying it's not fair, we need more housing, it's not fair. 958 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,240 Speaker 1: You know. They do all this stuff instead of saying, well, 959 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 1: hold on a second, Why does Portland, for example, have 960 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:27,600 Speaker 1: the highest i'm sorry, the second highest rent increase on 961 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:32,200 Speaker 1: average in twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen. Why don't have 962 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,919 Speaker 1: the second highest of any city in the country after 963 00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 1: Seattle why is there's such a housing shortage? Right? This 964 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 1: is basic economics, This is supply and demand. Why does 965 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 1: Portland have a housing shortage? Folks, that's the real question. 966 00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 1: This is where the economics should kick in. Now, what 967 00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,400 Speaker 1: liberals do is they come at this from the other side. 968 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:54,840 Speaker 1: They come at it and they say, well, hold on, 969 00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:59,120 Speaker 1: a second, housing is too expensive, So let's just make 970 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:03,160 Speaker 1: howing less expensive. Let's just mandate that you can't charge 971 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 1: as much. And this is not going to make the 972 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: problem any better. In fact, this is going to make 973 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,160 Speaker 1: it worse, as we all know. But libs never learn 974 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:15,960 Speaker 1: their lessons. Let's take a step back. Why does the 975 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:22,440 Speaker 1: state of Oregon have overall, but in particular Portland, but 976 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:27,240 Speaker 1: why does it have these problems? Well because of policies 977 00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 1: instituted by the government quote smart growth policies back in 978 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:36,880 Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies that put urban growth boundaries around cities 979 00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 1: in an effort to stop them from having what is 980 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 1: called urban sprawl. So what this means is that they 981 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,480 Speaker 1: look at a city and these are city planners, which 982 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 1: by the way, is a form of central planning. They 983 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,919 Speaker 1: have these city planners who come together and they say, well, 984 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,760 Speaker 1: we don't want the city of such and such to 985 00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,600 Speaker 1: be any bigger than this, And they draw lines on 986 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:04,280 Speaker 1: the MA and outside of those lines you cannot zone 987 01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 1: for certain kinds of development. So, for example, you can't 988 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:13,960 Speaker 1: build outside those lines a tall apartment building that would 989 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 1: be cost effective. You could only maybe do you farming communes, 990 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 1: or maybe build a single family home or whatever it is. 991 01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,520 Speaker 1: But they are intruding on the market because they don't 992 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,440 Speaker 1: like urban sprawl. This was just a thing in the 993 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 1: nineteen seventies which a lot of people say, isn't that 994 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:33,120 Speaker 1: just natural growth of a city, But they don't like 995 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:38,560 Speaker 1: urban sprawl. So that led to in Portland in particular, 996 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,760 Speaker 1: there are being disparities because where you are on the 997 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:46,640 Speaker 1: urban sprawl line could be the difference between, as Hemingway 998 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 1: points out in his piece here, whether your property is 999 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 1: worth one hundred and eighty thousand dollars for an acre 1000 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,479 Speaker 1: or across the street. Folks, based on where these lines 1001 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 1: were drawn across the street sixteen thousand dollars an acre. 1002 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 1: How could the same neighborhood have such a you know, 1003 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,760 Speaker 1: as one of them a toxic waste up. No one 1004 01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,720 Speaker 1: of them is a place where you can develop land, 1005 01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,400 Speaker 1: and another one is a place where you can't because 1006 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 1: that a one urban sprawl. So this means that developers, 1007 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: guess what, developers don't want to come in and deal 1008 01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:29,400 Speaker 1: with this. There's also a lot of red tape on 1009 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: top of it, where you have a lot of expense 1010 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:36,080 Speaker 1: that's put on top of building apartments at homes in 1011 01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:40,080 Speaker 1: a city like Oregon that are just bureaucratic expenses. This 1012 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: is from this piece. Systems and development charges and permit 1013 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 1: fees for even a five hundred square foot unit in 1014 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,960 Speaker 1: the city of Eugene, Oregon are close to about twenty 1015 01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars per unit. That's just all red tape expense. 1016 01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 1: That's just you know, the city inspectors coming in and 1017 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 1: got to this and got to do that, and just 1018 01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:05,840 Speaker 1: people getting involved in this that are extraneous and in 1019 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 1: fact just drive up the prices, just make it harder 1020 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:16,680 Speaker 1: for people to be able to get housing. Because this 1021 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 1: is Affordability is a function of the market. Affordability is 1022 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,720 Speaker 1: not in fact something that you will achieve with government mandates. 1023 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,680 Speaker 1: And as I've told you before, and this is I'm 1024 01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 1: not saying that Portland's going to turn into Venezuela or Eugene, Oregon, 1025 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,560 Speaker 1: or Tacoma, Washington, or any of these places. I'm not 1026 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 1: saying that, but price controls were one of the primary 1027 01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:43,640 Speaker 1: mechanisms instituted in Venezuela to create the descent into a 1028 01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 1: failed state, economic catastrophe and all the chaos we see. 1029 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 1: The price controls in Venezuela were pretty straightforward. There's not 1030 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 1: enough of X product, let's call it. Let's say microwaves. 1031 01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,960 Speaker 1: There aren't enough microwaves for everybody in Venezuela to go 1032 01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:04,480 Speaker 1: around right now. So instead of trying to deal with 1033 01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:08,600 Speaker 1: that through a market incentives what they did, or by 1034 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,800 Speaker 1: liberalizing their markets or lowering tariffs on the product or 1035 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,920 Speaker 1: whatever it. Maybe they said, well, now you can only 1036 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,800 Speaker 1: charge one hundred dollars. Well that's actually pretty expensive microwave, 1037 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,360 Speaker 1: but whatever, you only charge twenty dollars for your microwave. Well, 1038 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,600 Speaker 1: guess what, the people making microwaves can't make any money. 1039 01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:28,800 Speaker 1: See what do they do? They stop importing microwaves. That's 1040 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 1: what's happening with housing in a rent controlled environment. They're 1041 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 1: driving up the cost with mandates, and then they mandate 1042 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 1: that the cost get driven down. This is straight out 1043 01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 1: of the road to serfdom. Baby, this is Hyak coming 1044 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:47,120 Speaker 1: at you with all the truth. What does Hyeke say 1045 01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 1: in the road to serfdom? Every government intrusion is going 1046 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,040 Speaker 1: to be followed by more government intrusions because they create, 1047 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:59,680 Speaker 1: they create dislocations of capital and sound investment. And then 1048 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,680 Speaker 1: the the response to that from the people that did 1049 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 1: in the first place is always going to be, oh, well, 1050 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,440 Speaker 1: let's fix that with more dislocations of capital and unsound investment. 1051 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,760 Speaker 1: That's what happens, that's what gets done. And then you 1052 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,959 Speaker 1: add on to this the lack of because remember affordable housing, folks, 1053 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,520 Speaker 1: You're going to hear it a lot from Sanders and o'cazio, 1054 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,440 Speaker 1: Cortez and all these you know, you're a lot of 1055 01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:25,600 Speaker 1: affordable housing talk, a lot of that going on. You 1056 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,320 Speaker 1: know what all that's going to mean is the government 1057 01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:33,600 Speaker 1: either subsidizing developers, which just means the tax dollars are 1058 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,600 Speaker 1: going to this, or it's going to mean that they 1059 01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:41,000 Speaker 1: institute rent control policies. Rent control in New York drives 1060 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,560 Speaker 1: up prices for everybody who is not covered by rent control. 1061 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,600 Speaker 1: But in New York, the problem is that there are 1062 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,000 Speaker 1: all these there's a million people in New York City 1063 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,440 Speaker 1: who are directly affected, meaning they were one of their 1064 01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,560 Speaker 1: family members is in a rent controlled unit of some kind. 1065 01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,720 Speaker 1: And so when you try to change that, if you're 1066 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 1: in the New York City New York City Council, guess what, 1067 01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 1: you got a million people that'll show up and make 1068 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 1: sure you lose. They are single because housing is so 1069 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 1: expensive in New York City. They're single issue voters on 1070 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 1: rent control. But that's just chronyism, folks, It's just chronyism. 1071 01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,760 Speaker 1: Just people that are getting something that they're not entitled to, 1072 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,400 Speaker 1: that are defending it through the political process. But that's 1073 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 1: what cronies do. You're going to see more of this, 1074 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:26,360 Speaker 1: but see see it's a perfect illustration of how the 1075 01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:30,120 Speaker 1: left does not understand the root cause of a problem 1076 01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:34,280 Speaker 1: and in fact just makes it worse. They make the 1077 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 1: problems worse. Oh, by the way, as if that wasn't enough, 1078 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,920 Speaker 1: there are left wing activist groups that make this a 1079 01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,320 Speaker 1: function of who wants who wants to guess. Remember in 1080 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,439 Speaker 1: Venezuela they do price controls, and then what's the way 1081 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,640 Speaker 1: that they they double down on this. Oh, that's right, 1082 01:05:53,680 --> 01:06:00,640 Speaker 1: that's right. Social justice, social justice, that's what they are 1083 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 1: trying to accomplish here. Go back to this piece in 1084 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,600 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal by Mark Hemingway quote. Rather than 1085 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,920 Speaker 1: address the lack of housing supply, legislators have seized on 1086 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:17,320 Speaker 1: rent control and feisty left wing groups like Portland Tenants 1087 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:22,479 Speaker 1: United dominate grassroots politics in Oregon. Over the past few years. 1088 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:26,600 Speaker 1: The group's divisive founder, a professor named Margot Black, has 1089 01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 1: become a political force. PTU has organized rent strikes and 1090 01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:35,240 Speaker 1: picket lines against landlord seeking rent increases and push the 1091 01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 1: legislature to adopt drastic rent controls. Homegrown Oregonians tend to 1092 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 1: be white and racist, she said during a twenty seventeen 1093 01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,760 Speaker 1: television interview. I think the faster they can get out 1094 01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 1: of the landlord business, the better. The PTU imploded last 1095 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 1: year in parodic fashion. Miss Black was forced to step 1096 01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,000 Speaker 1: down as a leader of the group for allowing, among 1097 01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,760 Speaker 1: other things, a PTU organizer to sing this land is 1098 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,040 Speaker 1: our land over the objection of the group's Native American 1099 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:09,920 Speaker 1: racial equity tregner. Well, that might seem absurd. Ptu's persistent 1100 01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 1: agitation is largely responsible for making rent control a dominant 1101 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 1: issue in Portland politics. Folks, this is what happens. This 1102 01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:26,400 Speaker 1: is a microcosm of progressive urban politics at work. What 1103 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:31,640 Speaker 1: do they do. They create a problem with government regulation, 1104 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,400 Speaker 1: They try to address the problem with government price controls, 1105 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,840 Speaker 1: more mandates, and then when that doesn't work, they just 1106 01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:44,600 Speaker 1: say it's the bad, greedy people responding to these government 1107 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:48,360 Speaker 1: incentives in rational fashion. They're the problem. And you know 1108 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,840 Speaker 1: what happens. Then the builders, the developers, they say, I'm 1109 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 1: going to spend my money elsewhere. I don't want to 1110 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:58,880 Speaker 1: deal with this madhouse in Portland, and housing is even 1111 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:04,880 Speaker 1: more in short supply. It's like the anatomy of the 1112 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,520 Speaker 1: left on economics here in one and one fell swoop. 1113 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,080 Speaker 1: So see, it tells you a lot about how the left. Thanks. 1114 01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,560 Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed our little foray into Portland and 1115 01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,919 Speaker 1: Eugene and other places in Oregon in their real estate situation. 1116 01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:24,280 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. So I think I have a 1117 01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:29,760 Speaker 1: long history in civil rights activism. In nineteen eighty eight, 1118 01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,040 Speaker 1: I was one of the few white public officials who 1119 01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:36,560 Speaker 1: supported Jesse Jackson for President of the United States, and 1120 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,760 Speaker 1: they end up winning. For month, I think if you 1121 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:45,439 Speaker 1: look at my record in terms of civil rights and 1122 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,840 Speaker 1: other areas, you will find that it is consistently a 1123 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:54,320 Speaker 1: very very strong work. Any legislation we can point to, well, 1124 01:08:54,560 --> 01:09:02,360 Speaker 1: legislation that benefits African Americans, but not specifically, you know, legislation. 1125 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,040 Speaker 1: Oh but the you know, I'm a I'm a civil 1126 01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,080 Speaker 1: rights hero, but I didn't actually pass through the legislation. 1127 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,839 Speaker 1: Oh just you know, I want to talk about social justice. 1128 01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:19,360 Speaker 1: And you know, Bernie gets away with a lot because 1129 01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:25,720 Speaker 1: he comes across as this somewhat likable, kookie professor guy 1130 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:27,840 Speaker 1: from New York, even though he's not a professor. He's 1131 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 1: been a guy living off the public, public dime for 1132 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 1: his entire adult life. But he's really not very impressive. 1133 01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,080 Speaker 1: I watched and we didn't really pull any audio from 1134 01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 1: it because it was all the same. You know, the 1135 01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 1: millionaires and the billionaires are gonna pay for this, and 1136 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna pay for that. And we're gonna have free 1137 01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:48,000 Speaker 1: college like every industrialized country in the world. We're gonna 1138 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,200 Speaker 1: have great healthcare, you're gonna have no more debt. You're 1139 01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:55,400 Speaker 1: gonna have unicorns and magic plumb fairies giving you all 1140 01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:59,360 Speaker 1: the sweet treats you want. I mean, it's the usual thing. 1141 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,040 Speaker 1: A lot of Also, how Trump is. I thought it 1142 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:06,880 Speaker 1: was interesting he said that Trump is divisive, and Trump 1143 01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 1: is the guy who's separating people. Meanwhile, Democrats whole platform 1144 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:16,640 Speaker 1: is based on intersectionality, which is just how you assess 1145 01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:21,479 Speaker 1: and how you rank and handle different groups that oppress 1146 01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:25,160 Speaker 1: each other. I mean, that is what intersectionality is. But 1147 01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 1: Democrats accused us of, or rather Trump of being the 1148 01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:34,439 Speaker 1: divisive one. I think that's kind of rich. But you know, 1149 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:36,760 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, I think right now, if you had to 1150 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,479 Speaker 1: say who's going to be the nominee, a lot of 1151 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,519 Speaker 1: people would put their money on Sanders. A lot of 1152 01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 1: people would say that Sanders is going to come through 1153 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:47,000 Speaker 1: this Democratic which is already what it is that twelve 1154 01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,639 Speaker 1: candidates already, I think. I mean, it's crazy how many 1155 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,360 Speaker 1: candidates there are the Democrat Party right now. It's just crazy. 1156 01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,240 Speaker 1: A lot of them are just complete, you know nothing 1157 01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:01,400 Speaker 1: burger candidates as well. I saw this guy today, John 1158 01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:07,320 Speaker 1: Hickenlooper from Colorado. I would say, I haven't really have really, 1159 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,519 Speaker 1: you know, heard of this guy much before, and I 1160 01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:12,920 Speaker 1: was like, where have I heard about him? The biggest 1161 01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:14,680 Speaker 1: knock on him, from what I understand, is that he's 1162 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,040 Speaker 1: not a total communist and can be somewhat reasonable, and 1163 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,720 Speaker 1: everyone's like, whoa, you can't win a Democratic primary if 1164 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna be in any way reasonable or normal. But 1165 01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,559 Speaker 1: then I realized that the most famous thing about him 1166 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,400 Speaker 1: is that he likes to pull this this trick where 1167 01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,640 Speaker 1: he'll drink water to prove that something is clean. He 1168 01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:37,479 Speaker 1: drank he drank fracking fluid back in twenty thirteen to 1169 01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,760 Speaker 1: show that it was safer than the critics were saying. 1170 01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:44,400 Speaker 1: But he also after a major environmental disaster on the 1171 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:49,599 Speaker 1: Animous River, he drank a bottle of water from the river. 1172 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,960 Speaker 1: But turns out he put a water purification tablet in 1173 01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:56,599 Speaker 1: it beforehand and waited thirty minutes for that to take effects. 1174 01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:00,519 Speaker 1: So I don't know about that one, but I don't 1175 01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 1: know if we can give you the give you a 1176 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:05,120 Speaker 1: pass on that. And then of course he got the 1177 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 1: other one, the other great hope of the Democrats, Joe Biden. 1178 01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:10,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and Trump's already got his numbers somewhat where. 1179 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:14,760 Speaker 1: But Joe Biden's a total mediocrity, all right. Nothing about 1180 01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:19,560 Speaker 1: him is impressive, nothing about him is inspiring. He's just 1181 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:25,280 Speaker 1: a classic Democrat machine politician. And there's just he's just 1182 01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,519 Speaker 1: got nothing. I mean, you know, and without the media 1183 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,960 Speaker 1: running cover for all this stupid comments. You know, I 1184 01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,960 Speaker 1: don't think that you're gonna have the same ability for 1185 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,439 Speaker 1: him to just pretend like, oh, that's just Joeb and Joe. 1186 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,040 Speaker 1: But I see today the New York Post is saying 1187 01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:44,400 Speaker 1: that you know who might run if Biden doesn't run. 1188 01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 1: The governor of New York himself, Quomo, who many people 1189 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:54,839 Speaker 1: say does not have three entire brain cells to rub together. 1190 01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,880 Speaker 1: But perhaps he can borrow a half a brain cell 1191 01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:03,559 Speaker 1: from Biden and maybe a brain cell or two from 1192 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,640 Speaker 1: Ocasio QUOTEZ and make a full I don't know how 1193 01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,040 Speaker 1: big the number is, but brain cells enough to run 1194 01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:16,519 Speaker 1: for Democrat. That's right, Cuomo might run.

You might have heard of the AARP, But 1200 01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 1: guess what, the AARP does not achieve that for you. 1201 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:39,000 Speaker 1: The AARP is actually very left wing.

We have a 1220 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:01,519 Speaker 1: friend of mine, an ex burnt on Latin America, joining 1221 01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:05,960 Speaker 1: us now from the Heritage Foundation. Anna Rosa Quintana is 1222 01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:07,680 Speaker 1: with us, so you can tell us what's going on 1223 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,719 Speaker 1: right now with Venezuela and also Cuba, which has gotten 1224 01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,800 Speaker 1: into the mix. And thanks so much for calling in. Hey, 1225 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,360 Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Okay, so let's just start with 1226 01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:22,720 Speaker 1: Trump is now tightening the Cuba embargo because Cuba's helping Venezuela. 1227 01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:25,760 Speaker 1: Can you walk us through the Venezuela Cuba situation here? 1228 01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,240 Speaker 1: I mean, the best way of understanding the relationship between 1229 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 1: both countries is Venezuela has exported to Cuba and has 1230 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,639 Speaker 1: kept up the Cuban government alive through oil and through 1231 01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:41,000 Speaker 1: petro dollars and Cuba and exchange has provided Venezuela with 1232 01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 1: a police state, which is why you have not seen 1233 01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:47,519 Speaker 1: the level of defections that should be normally be seen 1234 01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:50,800 Speaker 1: in a country with such a dire humanitarian crisis. I mean, 1235 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,880 Speaker 1: because the police state and the I mean just the 1236 01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,400 Speaker 1: counterintelligence system that exists withinside of Venezuela. It's the same 1237 01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 1: reason why the Castro regime has survived for sixty years. Well, 1238 01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 1: they were and they were trained by the KGB, and 1239 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,160 Speaker 1: so that's so everyone should keep in mind that the 1240 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:09,200 Speaker 1: Soviet KGB trained the Castro regime secret intelligence, which has 1241 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:13,360 Speaker 1: now trained Venezuela's secret intelligence. So there's that exactly exactly, 1242 01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,960 Speaker 1: and Maduro is a product of that. I mean, Maduro 1243 01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,840 Speaker 1: is not somebody who is a savvy politician or who 1244 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,360 Speaker 1: knows the US political I mean not at all. Maduro 1245 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,439 Speaker 1: is a thug, and he's a thug who is a 1246 01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,360 Speaker 1: Soviet trained thug. I mean, he's a diehard Castro apologist. 1247 01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:32,040 Speaker 1: He's obsessed with the Cuban government, obsessed with the Castro Revolution, 1248 01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,680 Speaker 1: just like how Hugo Chavez was. So, you know, and 1249 01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:41,760 Speaker 1: I keep seeing this recurring criticism on the left and 1250 01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:46,960 Speaker 1: from some pretty big voices, including Representative Ilhan Omar, who's 1251 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,240 Speaker 1: in trouble for some other stuff she's been saying recently, 1252 01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:50,920 Speaker 1: But you see it from her. You see it a 1253 01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,920 Speaker 1: lot from Glenn Greenwald, who on some issues I think 1254 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:56,680 Speaker 1: is very sound. That is thinking on this one I 1255 01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,639 Speaker 1: think is pretty far off. I listened to a podcast 1256 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,320 Speaker 1: with Army SKay Hill. You know, you have some of 1257 01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:06,599 Speaker 1: these very well known leftist American thinkers and writers who 1258 01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,160 Speaker 1: keep saying that we are engaged in a coup in 1259 01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,599 Speaker 1: Venezuela and that we're making the same mistake that we've 1260 01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:18,519 Speaker 1: made for decades in intervening in Venezuela. I wanted your 1261 01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 1: take on that whole line of thinking. Listen, the only 1262 01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:26,040 Speaker 1: intervention that's happening in Venezuela, and that's been happening for 1263 01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:29,639 Speaker 1: the last twenty years, is the Cuban, Russian, Chinese intervention. 1264 01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:32,920 Speaker 1: And they all have various different objectives. Right, Cuba has 1265 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,320 Speaker 1: only survived. The cash regime has only survived because they've 1266 01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,240 Speaker 1: they've been like leeches, right, they've like sucked their teeth 1267 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:43,720 Speaker 1: into a foreign country that's had more resources than they've had. 1268 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,120 Speaker 1: You know, before it was a Soviet Union and then 1269 01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 1: and now it's Venezuela, and it's you know, and now 1270 01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 1: you look at Russia. Russia has political objectives inside of 1271 01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,400 Speaker 1: Venezuela because you know, Venezuela is a country that's in 1272 01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:57,520 Speaker 1: the Western Hemisphere, and now Russia can be a powerbroker 1273 01:17:57,640 --> 01:17:59,880 Speaker 1: in the future of Venezuela, a country that the United 1274 01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:03,400 Speaker 1: States has deep and strategic interest in. And China. Again, 1275 01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:07,280 Speaker 1: China's economic interest in expanding their presence in the Western 1276 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:11,599 Speaker 1: Hemisphere is very well known. There's no there is zero 1277 01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,200 Speaker 1: in terms of interventionism. In fact, it's the opposite. The 1278 01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:18,160 Speaker 1: United States and over fifty countries this is what I 1279 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,040 Speaker 1: think is so critical. Here's over fifty countries and it's 1280 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,519 Speaker 1: the majority of the Western hemisphere. This is something that 1281 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,879 Speaker 1: is unprecedented. You've never seen the majority of Latin America 1282 01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:30,360 Speaker 1: unite behind anything. They've never united against the cast regime. 1283 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:33,120 Speaker 1: And the Castra regime has been around since nineteen fifty nine. 1284 01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,599 Speaker 1: Yet the majority of the Western hemisphere has said enough 1285 01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:39,040 Speaker 1: is enough. The Madure regime as a dictatorship. These guys 1286 01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 1: are drug traffickers, these guys are thugs. We need to 1287 01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,360 Speaker 1: get rid of them. Now, what do you say to 1288 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,320 Speaker 1: the criticism from the same some of the same folks. 1289 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,639 Speaker 1: But you're doing such a good job with the other criticism. 1290 01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 1: I want to throw this at you too, that well, 1291 01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:55,400 Speaker 1: why Maduro? Why Maduro? When we're friends with the Saudis, 1292 01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:58,240 Speaker 1: We're friends with the Chinese, you know, you know, we 1293 01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:00,320 Speaker 1: do business with some pretty bad people around the world. 1294 01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 1: To the left is saying, I'm like, I think it's 1295 01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:03,800 Speaker 1: a smoke screen, But I want to know what way, 1296 01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,160 Speaker 1: what do you think? Look, I think one of the 1297 01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,800 Speaker 1: United States does not have a cookie cutter foreign policy, right, 1298 01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,240 Speaker 1: I mean, there's times where the United States has to 1299 01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:15,880 Speaker 1: put aside principles in terms of greater national security interest. Right, 1300 01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,240 Speaker 1: But when it comes to Venezuela, you have to look 1301 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:21,080 Speaker 1: at it from the perspective of one Venezuela. The Venezuelan 1302 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,160 Speaker 1: government and high ranking officials within the Venezuelan government are 1303 01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:26,680 Speaker 1: well known drug traffickers. I mean, and now I'm not 1304 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,439 Speaker 1: talking about like small amounts like these guys are deeply 1305 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,519 Speaker 1: involved with Mexican drug cartels. These guys are deeply involved 1306 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:37,000 Speaker 1: with Columbia's terrorist organizations. And we have to remember Venezuela 1307 01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,479 Speaker 1: and Colombia share a very long border. Colombia is the 1308 01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,479 Speaker 1: United States is largest foreign aid recipient. So when we 1309 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:45,479 Speaker 1: look in, Columbia is also the country that is the 1310 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:48,880 Speaker 1: largest cocaine producing country in the entire world. So when 1311 01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,320 Speaker 1: we start thinking about, all right, the United States still 1312 01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:55,120 Speaker 1: has a massive cocaine problem. Right. We have an opioid crisis, 1313 01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,639 Speaker 1: that's for sure, but we still have a huge cocaine problem. 1314 01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,599 Speaker 1: So we look at the Venezuelan government's criminality, and there's 1315 01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:04,479 Speaker 1: a US body count that's directly associated with that. That's one. Two. 1316 01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,720 Speaker 1: You look at the refugee exodus, You've had over three 1317 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:11,439 Speaker 1: million Venezuelans who've left the country. If that number continues, 1318 01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,960 Speaker 1: there's thirty two million Venezuela, thirty two million Venezuelans left 1319 01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:18,599 Speaker 1: behind in the country. If the political crisis, the economic crisis, 1320 01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:22,000 Speaker 1: the humanitarian crisis, if that continues, that is going to 1321 01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:25,960 Speaker 1: destabilize the rest of its neighboring countries. Colombia has already 1322 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:30,400 Speaker 1: received nearly two million Venezuelans who have permanently stayed inside 1323 01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:33,800 Speaker 1: of that country. Over fifty thousand leave the country every 1324 01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:37,120 Speaker 1: single day and are transiting through Ecuador, through Peru, through 1325 01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,599 Speaker 1: all of these other countries. Imagine if the United States, 1326 01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:43,320 Speaker 1: imagine if Mexico, for example, is having a humanitarian crisis, 1327 01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,840 Speaker 1: and we have one point five million or two million 1328 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,640 Speaker 1: Venezus Mexicans that enter our country and permanently resettle here 1329 01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:51,559 Speaker 1: within a time span of like four or five years, 1330 01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:56,840 Speaker 1: that'll completely distable. Exactly. It is our problem is it's 1331 01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,479 Speaker 1: our problem. It's a huge problem, right, And that's the thing. 1332 01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:01,519 Speaker 1: And I mean, there's just so many other factors here, 1333 01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,040 Speaker 1: and it's just like, guys, what's happening in Venezuela directly 1334 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:09,080 Speaker 1: impacts US national security interests. What is keeping Maduro from 1335 01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,920 Speaker 1: toppling at this point. And you know, without getting too 1336 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:16,120 Speaker 1: far into this from the American side, what should the US, 1337 01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:19,320 Speaker 1: what should the Trump administration were doing? Look, so, the 1338 01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,679 Speaker 1: Venezuelans have been really great about keeping this police state 1339 01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:26,120 Speaker 1: in place, right, and Maduro has over the last twenty years, 1340 01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,920 Speaker 1: they've been able to consolidate the levers of power under 1341 01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:32,439 Speaker 1: their control. They control the food distribution systems, they control 1342 01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:36,479 Speaker 1: the electoral authorities, they control just everything. And also they 1343 01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:41,040 Speaker 1: have such high ranking the high ranking government officials. I mean, 1344 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,960 Speaker 1: they've just benefited so greatly and are just so deeply 1345 01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:48,640 Speaker 1: entrenched from corruption, whether it's drug trafficking, food trafficking, you know, 1346 01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,960 Speaker 1: making money off of embezzling from the oil industry. I mean, 1347 01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,800 Speaker 1: it's just the corruption has just been rampant, right. So 1348 01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:57,719 Speaker 1: it's obviously clear why these guys have not defected because 1349 01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,320 Speaker 1: they really have no other options in life. It's either 1350 01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:03,240 Speaker 1: being a corrupt government official or just you know, spending 1351 01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,280 Speaker 1: the rest of their days in either Russia or Havanah. 1352 01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:07,720 Speaker 1: And so that's why we haven't seen those really high 1353 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,679 Speaker 1: level defections. But I mean, there's been nearly six hundred 1354 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,880 Speaker 1: soldiers who have defected putting their families at risk. I 1355 01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,360 Speaker 1: think that's that's pretty significant, the fact that six hundred 1356 01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:20,400 Speaker 1: soldiers have risked the lives of their families because now 1357 01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:23,200 Speaker 1: what happens is now these guys have crossed over into Columbia. 1358 01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 1: Their families can be arrested, they can be imprisoned, they 1359 01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:29,080 Speaker 1: can be tortured, and that's probably what's happening to them 1360 01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:31,120 Speaker 1: right now. And that's why we haven't seen the high 1361 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,240 Speaker 1: level of defections that you know, that should be that 1362 01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:38,240 Speaker 1: people are, you know, thinking that should be seen. But 1363 01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 1: the momentum and the time is not on maduro side. 1364 01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:44,600 Speaker 1: I mean where Venezuela is right now in comparison to 1365 01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,000 Speaker 1: where it was three four months ago, I mean there's 1366 01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:50,760 Speaker 1: a strong momentum against Maduro and really time is not 1367 01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:52,920 Speaker 1: on his side. And in terms of what the US 1368 01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:54,920 Speaker 1: should be doing, I think it's not just what the 1369 01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,160 Speaker 1: US should be doing, it's what the international community out 1370 01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,200 Speaker 1: of be doing. You have the over fifty countries that 1371 01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 1: recognize Guido. These guys ought to be making sure that 1372 01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:07,400 Speaker 1: only Guido has access to Venezuela's reserves abroad, if he 1373 01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:09,759 Speaker 1: is the interim president, if he is a legal legitimate 1374 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:12,519 Speaker 1: President Maduro should not be able to access one single 1375 01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:16,639 Speaker 1: penny of Venezuelan state reserves. That's one two. I think 1376 01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 1: every country and in that entire coalition ought to be 1377 01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:25,240 Speaker 1: ready to name, to publicly shame all of the Venezuelan Maduros, 1378 01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:30,080 Speaker 1: the Madurou regimes, families, their affiliates, their enablers within their 1379 01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,439 Speaker 1: respective countries, because there will be a day where they 1380 01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:36,320 Speaker 1: should no longer be allowed to enjoy living luxuriously in Spain. 1381 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:40,040 Speaker 1: Also their illicit money. I know other governments should be 1382 01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:42,720 Speaker 1: working to seize this money as well. The US has 1383 01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,760 Speaker 1: sanctioned nearly two hundred some odd Venezuelan government officials. I mean, 1384 01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,800 Speaker 1: Trump has just gone sanctioning crazy, like he's just been 1385 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,000 Speaker 1: such a rock star at this. He's really hit these 1386 01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:53,640 Speaker 1: guys where it hurts, and they only care about their 1387 01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,439 Speaker 1: pocket bucks. Other countries ought to be reciprocating and doing 1388 01:23:56,479 --> 01:24:01,080 Speaker 1: the same. All right, Anakinzana from Heritage, great stuff.

They don't 1401 01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:41,680 Speaker 1: ever offshore their information. They don't ever offshore the work 1402 01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,240 Speaker 1: they're doing for you or send it overseas a lot 1403 01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:46,720 Speaker 1: of the other people in this space do.

Or go to MYGVN dot com again, that's 1410 01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:17,800 Speaker 1: MYGVN dot com. Grifting. This idea of grifting, what is it? 1411 01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 1: What does it mean? Why is it? Why is it 1412 01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,600 Speaker 1: coming up so often these days? Well, it's basically this 1413 01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:25,800 Speaker 1: idea of exploiting global people to sell something to raise 1414 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,880 Speaker 1: your brand awareness. And I think it's coming up because, well, 1415 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,880 Speaker 1: look brand Seapack has always been a representation of where 1416 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,640 Speaker 1: the Republican Party is, where it's going, and I'm not 1417 01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,519 Speaker 1: sure it was ever at this place for intellectual discourse 1418 01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:40,320 Speaker 1: of some people will say, but it has in recent 1419 01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,679 Speaker 1: years become more like Trump. It's a celebration of Trump. 1420 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:45,880 Speaker 1: And so you see a lot of grifters, people throwing 1421 01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:49,040 Speaker 1: red meat rhetoric out at crowds to raise their brand. 1422 01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:53,080 Speaker 1: Guys like Charlie Kirk, Diamond and Silk Michelle Malkin. Those 1423 01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 1: are the people there, and they are selling books off 1424 01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:59,040 Speaker 1: in at Seapack. They're trying to get subscriptions to their organizations, 1425 01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:03,439 Speaker 1: and so you know, it's no longer any pretense of 1426 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:07,880 Speaker 1: discussing intellectual philosophy about conservative movements. It's now about really 1427 01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:11,160 Speaker 1: raising a brand, owning the libs and selling your books 1428 01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,519 Speaker 1: to these people. Hey, guys like Dan Bondino, I mean 1429 01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:19,559 Speaker 1: that is absolute bullcrap, but of course it's it's CNN 1430 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:26,599 Speaker 1: talking about Sepack. It is absolute garbage. Now, are there 1431 01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:30,080 Speaker 1: some red meat fire up the base speeches that happened 1432 01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:31,800 Speaker 1: in Seapack on the main stage. Of course there are, 1433 01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:36,640 Speaker 1: but there should be. There are very few events that 1434 01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,680 Speaker 1: occur in the United States where you show up and 1435 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:45,160 Speaker 1: conservative media is well represented, never mind the dominant force. 1436 01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:48,400 Speaker 1: And you know, this was the first time I had 1437 01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:52,639 Speaker 1: participated in Spack as a speaker. It's the first time 1438 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:54,960 Speaker 1: I'd really ever been to Seapack in its modern narration. 1439 01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:57,639 Speaker 1: I haven't been in ten years. I just popped into 1440 01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:01,880 Speaker 1: hear Rush Limbaugh speak back in two thousand and seven. 1441 01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:08,360 Speaker 1: But this idea that there was no intellectual discourse at seatback. 1442 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,760 Speaker 1: And first of all, whether you agree with with me 1443 01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:13,320 Speaker 1: or you agree with Mark Tison on our Syria exchange, 1444 01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:16,680 Speaker 1: I represent the get out of Syria point of view 1445 01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:21,120 Speaker 1: with as much background and knowledge as as anybody on 1446 01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:23,960 Speaker 1: that issue. Not to sound a little bit pompous, but 1447 01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:26,280 Speaker 1: it's true, at least in the media. In the media, 1448 01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:28,360 Speaker 1: I'm not there's a difference between people who are working 1449 01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:30,720 Speaker 1: the issue in the government side still but from the 1450 01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:33,720 Speaker 1: media perspective. And Mark Tison represents the neocon point of 1451 01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:37,160 Speaker 1: view as well as anybody. And we really got into it, 1452 01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,240 Speaker 1: and you know he is I disagree with them, but 1453 01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:43,680 Speaker 1: he's very well read and he's he's eloquent from his 1454 01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:48,599 Speaker 1: point of view and is certainly not lacking in knowledge 1455 01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:51,120 Speaker 1: on the subject matter. Neither am I. And yes, that 1456 01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,439 Speaker 1: was just one, but I also did a breakout panel 1457 01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:57,640 Speaker 1: with Bill Gertz of the Free Beacon and a congressman 1458 01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:03,120 Speaker 1: from actually from four Wayne. The congressman's from four Wayne, Indiana. 1459 01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,599 Speaker 1: WHOA WHOA in the House? That's right. If you're listening 1460 01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:08,439 Speaker 1: on WHOA Whoa better come to talk tank who WO listeners. 1461 01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:10,800 Speaker 1: It's in April, middle of April. Check it out. Go 1462 01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:14,719 Speaker 1: to your who WOA website. Tommy larn and Buck Sexton, 1463 01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:16,719 Speaker 1: We're gonna bring down the house. It's gonna be amazing. 1464 01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:20,560 Speaker 1: But that discussion that I had with them in this 1465 01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:24,000 Speaker 1: in the side panel, where were there about one hundred 1466 01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:26,080 Speaker 1: people or so, maybe seventy five people in the room, 1467 01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:30,200 Speaker 1: we really got in depth on cyber war and critical 1468 01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,920 Speaker 1: infrastructure and these are people that understand the threat of 1469 01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:35,639 Speaker 1: cyber espionage. And I mean it was a very high 1470 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:40,640 Speaker 1: level discussion. Gordon Chang did a speech that was not 1471 01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:43,000 Speaker 1: even standing room only. People were sitting on the floor 1472 01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:47,360 Speaker 1: and standing to hear about how we're doing with China trade. 1473 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,879 Speaker 1: And I mean, so so this this idea that Seapack 1474 01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:53,680 Speaker 1: it's just all buffoons and owned the Libs that you know, 1475 01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 1: this is the caricature, But really Seepack also fills this 1476 01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:02,640 Speaker 1: very interesting position in our media culture because for a 1477 01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:06,800 Speaker 1: lot of DC journos, it's almost like a trip to 1478 01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:10,040 Speaker 1: the zoo to go to Sepack. They see all these 1479 01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:15,240 Speaker 1: different people that are their conservative counterparts, and they don't 1480 01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:18,360 Speaker 1: socially interact with them very much. They don't work at 1481 01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:22,800 Speaker 1: outlets where they spend time around conservatives, and you know, 1482 01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:25,479 Speaker 1: they won't go on Fox News, they won't talk to 1483 01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:28,640 Speaker 1: people who work in talk radio like I do. I mean, 1484 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:31,559 Speaker 1: that's just the reality of it. You know, I live 1485 01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:36,080 Speaker 1: here in DC and I have constant interaction with people 1486 01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:38,479 Speaker 1: from obviously the Hill where I work, but from the 1487 01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,200 Speaker 1: Washington Examine or the Daily Call or the Free Beacon, 1488 01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:45,680 Speaker 1: Fox News. You're gonna go on the list. I never 1489 01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:48,040 Speaker 1: see any CNN people. I never see them professional and 1490 01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:52,840 Speaker 1: never see them socially because they won't they won't be 1491 01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,600 Speaker 1: around our ilk. They don't consider people and this is 1492 01:29:56,640 --> 01:30:00,640 Speaker 1: the dirty secret of the media. They don't consider conservatives 1493 01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:05,320 Speaker 1: to really be colleagues. They think that conservatives at best, 1494 01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:10,880 Speaker 1: at best are some kind of you know exhibit. Like 1495 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:13,400 Speaker 1: I said, it's almost like conservatives were like the menagerie. 1496 01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:15,800 Speaker 1: You know, Oh, we have got a couple of conservatives here. 1497 01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:17,840 Speaker 1: Look at the conservatives. Look at the way they eat, 1498 01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:19,920 Speaker 1: Look at the way they interact with each other. You know, 1499 01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:24,680 Speaker 1: we're a spectacle, an oddity. They think that what they 1500 01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:28,559 Speaker 1: do is media, what we do is conservative media. They 1501 01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:32,799 Speaker 1: don't understand that they just represent a lib coastal smug 1502 01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:36,800 Speaker 1: elite point of view, and we represent the other half 1503 01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 1: of the country that's a little known group called the 1504 01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:45,479 Speaker 1: other half of America, and share a point of view 1505 01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:47,760 Speaker 1: that maybe they should learn something about. But this also 1506 01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:51,800 Speaker 1: brings me to how, you know, liberals don't understand what 1507 01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:55,240 Speaker 1: conservatives think or how they think. They really don't. I 1508 01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:57,920 Speaker 1: know what liberals think. I can make their arguments for them. 1509 01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:03,120 Speaker 1: I understand very well what they really believe. And I 1510 01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:05,880 Speaker 1: can't tell you how many liberals I come across who 1511 01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:08,880 Speaker 1: when whenever, whenever it comes to conservative points of view, 1512 01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:11,960 Speaker 1: they really fall on this. Oh it's all performance theater. 1513 01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:15,519 Speaker 1: Oh it's all it's all a con. These people don't 1514 01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:18,160 Speaker 1: really Conservatives don't really believe this stuff. And I sit 1515 01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:21,560 Speaker 1: around and say, I socialize with I spend time with 1516 01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:24,519 Speaker 1: lots of conservatives in media, many of whom you hear 1517 01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:28,320 Speaker 1: on this show. We really believe this stuff. We go out, 1518 01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:31,960 Speaker 1: we drink, we eat, we hang out together, and we 1519 01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:34,400 Speaker 1: still talk about this stuff and we really believe it. 1520 01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:38,439 Speaker 1: It's not a con it's not a grift. But I 1521 01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 1: guess that's really from the from the left wing perspective, 1522 01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:46,800 Speaker 1: they would prefer, they would prefer the possibility of us 1523 01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:50,360 Speaker 1: just being frauds instead of having to engage with our ideas. 1524 01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:53,360 Speaker 1: And also they like that they get to slander us 1525 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,840 Speaker 1: as frauds without having to provide any evidence or support 1526 01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:57,760 Speaker 1: for that. And then there's just one more thing. And 1527 01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:01,519 Speaker 1: I went to a couple of parties at Spack where 1528 01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:03,920 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of prominent conservatives were there, 1529 01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:06,639 Speaker 1: and you know, I was talking to former spec ops 1530 01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:08,840 Speaker 1: guys that have started that have started their own media 1531 01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:11,120 Speaker 1: company and I'm hoping to do their show soon, and 1532 01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:13,320 Speaker 1: they had just we had such a fun time, so 1533 01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 1: many good people at Speck. But there were these little 1534 01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:20,599 Speaker 1: smug lib reporters kind of skulking about. And I don't 1535 01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:24,160 Speaker 1: mean it's one thing to skulk about in the you know, 1536 01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:26,320 Speaker 1: in the back of the main stage room, because you 1537 01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:28,040 Speaker 1: know they're pressed. They're they're covering the event, and we 1538 01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:30,400 Speaker 1: want them to cover the event. And yes, there's gonna 1539 01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:33,160 Speaker 1: be stuff like the Bullwork, which is a crap publication 1540 01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:36,040 Speaker 1: that's just a bunch of bitter people that aren't relevant anymore. 1541 01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:41,000 Speaker 1: Hiring an anti abortion communist to cover people at spack 1542 01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:45,120 Speaker 1: for a supposedly conservative magazine. That actually happened, But you 1543 01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:47,559 Speaker 1: know what I saw happening, And this is just tells 1544 01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:49,680 Speaker 1: you who these people are on the left. Yeah, these 1545 01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 1: reporters that were going to social events and you could 1546 01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:54,519 Speaker 1: tell they're you know, people are drinking and they're talking, 1547 01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:57,240 Speaker 1: and they're just looking for a conservative doesn't have to 1548 01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:00,960 Speaker 1: be a public figure to say something that they can 1549 01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:04,639 Speaker 1: vote out of context, to trash seapack. That's what they're 1550 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:07,560 Speaker 1: there for. They're there not to cover it as journalists, 1551 01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:10,840 Speaker 1: but to do opo research. And that's why why this 1552 01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:14,880 Speaker 1: discussion it's bad, bad Stelter that maybe they are just cants. 1553 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:18,680 Speaker 1: Maybe that was making that Stelter, you only have your 1554 01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:22,720 Speaker 1: job because you're a lib suck up who looks like 1555 01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:30,040 Speaker 1: the guy who runs CNN. So there's that we reject 1556 01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:38,759 Speaker 1: oppressive speech, coats, censorship, political correctness, and every other attempt 1557 01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:44,400 Speaker 1: by the hard left to stop people from challenging ridiculous 1558 01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:51,599 Speaker 1: and dangerous ideas. Instead, we believe in free speech. Many 1559 01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:56,000 Speaker 1: emergency declarations have been used to protect people in far 1560 01:33:56,120 --> 01:34:02,200 Speaker 1: away nations. Now we are protecting fine, our people. You, 1561 01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:11,879 Speaker 1: our people. So Trump is pro free speech, which liberals 1562 01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:15,759 Speaker 1: increasingly can't say that they are the most interesting takeaway 1563 01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:18,160 Speaker 1: from his Seapack speech when I was there at all 1564 01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:21,640 Speaker 1: the seapack well, actually I cannot tell why I was 1565 01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:24,439 Speaker 1: at home during trump Seapack speech. I was watching it. 1566 01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:27,200 Speaker 1: I did watch it, but I had had a late 1567 01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:29,559 Speaker 1: night the night before at Seepack, and so I decided 1568 01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:33,000 Speaker 1: to get some sleep and rest up. Because the Secret 1569 01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:35,800 Speaker 1: Service requirements with it, you had to be there very 1570 01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:39,880 Speaker 1: early in order to get close to the Trumpster when 1571 01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:43,760 Speaker 1: he's doing the speech. So he said that he's thinking 1572 01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:48,080 Speaker 1: about pulling federal funding for universities that will not commit 1573 01:34:48,120 --> 01:34:49,639 Speaker 1: to free speech. And what I think is so funny 1574 01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,479 Speaker 1: is that automatically liberals hear this and they go, oh 1575 01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:56,160 Speaker 1: my gosh, how will you have universities be speech police, 1576 01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:58,200 Speaker 1: and I have to laugh and say, Okay, first of all, 1577 01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:01,800 Speaker 1: they already do do that. They just do it in 1578 01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:05,879 Speaker 1: favor of libs. They just do it to the benefit 1579 01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:11,160 Speaker 1: of the left. But they're already policing speech. So all 1580 01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:12,960 Speaker 1: that we're trying to do is say, can you police 1581 01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:16,599 Speaker 1: speech to make sure that it is free? Essentially, don't 1582 01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:19,760 Speaker 1: police it? How about that you are policing it now 1583 01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:22,080 Speaker 1: in favor of the left. How about you just don't 1584 01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:24,719 Speaker 1: do that thing? As liberals are all, oh my gosh, 1585 01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:28,200 Speaker 1: what will we ever do? How will the universities know 1586 01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:32,280 Speaker 1: what free They think about this? The left takes the 1587 01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:37,160 Speaker 1: position that it's hard for the universities for colleges to 1588 01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:40,360 Speaker 1: know what free speeches. If colleges can't figure out what 1589 01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 1: free speeches, then I think we really need to rethink 1590 01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:46,680 Speaker 1: what's going on in colleges as a very a very 1591 01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:51,120 Speaker 1: general and sweeping way, like what would you say you 1592 01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:56,200 Speaker 1: do here colleges. I think it's a very very important 1593 01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:58,880 Speaker 1: idea for Trump to push out there, and to keep 1594 01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,000 Speaker 1: in mind that, you know, Obama and his administration really 1595 01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:05,120 Speaker 1: one of the most just despicable things that they did, 1596 01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:07,800 Speaker 1: or at least we're thinking about doing. They at one 1597 01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:12,479 Speaker 1: point threatened to pull federal funding for schools. That's right, 1598 01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:16,400 Speaker 1: Department of Education funding for schools that if a state 1599 01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:21,040 Speaker 1: would not enact their insane transgender policy of twelve year olds, 1600 01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:23,320 Speaker 1: you know, showering with twelve year old twelve year old 1601 01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:25,240 Speaker 1: boys showering at twelve year old girls because they feel 1602 01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:28,360 Speaker 1: like a girl. That's what the Obama administration. Yeah, this 1603 01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:30,479 Speaker 1: was a real thing. The threatened to pull federal funding. 1604 01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:34,479 Speaker 1: So I think pulling federal funding for schools that refused 1605 01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:40,360 Speaker 1: to be free speech supportive, I'm fine with that. I 1606 01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:42,240 Speaker 1: don't see what the problem is. And people say, oh, 1607 01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:44,559 Speaker 1: they can't implement this, I just I point out, well, 1608 01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:48,559 Speaker 1: hold on a second. What about Title nine? Why why 1609 01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:52,800 Speaker 1: is it that wrestling and lacrosse and other programs at 1610 01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:56,759 Speaker 1: school's crew men's crew, which I did in college, they've 1611 01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:59,439 Speaker 1: been decimated across the country. Why is that? Oh, because 1612 01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:02,920 Speaker 1: you need parity for men's and women's sports, even though 1613 01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:07,320 Speaker 1: men generally care more about playing sports at a college 1614 01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:11,280 Speaker 1: level than women do. Don't tell anybody. Look, you can 1615 01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,439 Speaker 1: yell at me by the percentages, it's i't People get 1616 01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:15,559 Speaker 1: mad when I said by the percentage is it's just true. 1617 01:37:16,280 --> 01:37:18,920 Speaker 1: It's just true. Doesn't mean you shouldn't have women's sports. 1618 01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:22,080 Speaker 1: But interest from men in playing college sports is higher 1619 01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:24,519 Speaker 1: than interest in women. It's just a fact. But you 1620 01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:28,080 Speaker 1: have to have parody in the fun day anyway. Schools 1621 01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:32,320 Speaker 1: enforce all kinds of Title nine, including the kangaroo courts 1622 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:36,479 Speaker 1: over sexual assault where the accused has no rights. The 1623 01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:40,800 Speaker 1: federal government uses Title nine and the removal of funding 1624 01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:44,280 Speaker 1: under Tunnel nine as the way to, you know, implement 1625 01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:48,400 Speaker 1: all that. So trust me, if they want to, if 1626 01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:51,519 Speaker 1: they decide that they want to get compliance here on 1627 01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:54,320 Speaker 1: that free speech is important, they can get it. There's 1628 01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:57,200 Speaker 1: no problem. There's no shortage or ways they can make 1629 01:37:57,240 --> 01:38:00,280 Speaker 1: this happen. So don't believe a laugh when they're, uh, gosh, 1630 01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:02,160 Speaker 1: how can they have the free speech? I don't know, 1631 01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:05,320 Speaker 1: it's really not that hard. And if universities camp be 1632 01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:07,720 Speaker 1: beacons or free speech, well where can we have that? 1633 01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:10,960 Speaker 1: But as we know, this is what was it in June. 1634 01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:13,280 Speaker 1: When I am When I am weak, I played by 1635 01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:15,920 Speaker 1: your rules because it favors because it favors me. When 1636 01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:18,479 Speaker 1: I'm strong, I played by my rules because it favors me. 1637 01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:22,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's essentially the left on college campuses. 1638 01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,919 Speaker 1: I've got that quote. You know that was a paraphrase, 1639 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:27,639 Speaker 1: but you know it's a good quote. It's from Dune. 1640 01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:41,240 Speaker 1: There's a book I should probably read at some point. Hey, 1641 01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:54,599 Speaker 1: Team Buck, it's time for roll call. I just want 1642 01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:57,160 Speaker 1: to say it thank you to all members of Team 1643 01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:59,800 Speaker 1: Buck who came out to see pack and said hello. 1644 01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:03,320 Speaker 1: We got to chat, take photos. A couple of people 1645 01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:06,519 Speaker 1: had me signed things, which was which was fun. So 1646 01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:09,519 Speaker 1: thank you so much for making that happen. Good to 1647 01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:11,920 Speaker 1: see all of you, and I hope you enjoyed my 1648 01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:18,040 Speaker 1: debate with a very hardcore neo con We definitely got 1649 01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:22,559 Speaker 1: into it over what should be done on the question 1650 01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:24,720 Speaker 1: of Syria. So if you got a chance to see that, 1651 01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:27,160 Speaker 1: I think you saw. I wish we had about another 1652 01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 1: twenty minutes, but we made the best use of our 1653 01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:33,080 Speaker 1: time on the maid main stage that I think we 1654 01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:39,360 Speaker 1: could have under the circumstances. So let's get to it. 1655 01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:45,479 Speaker 1: We have first up here Harry who writes, oh this 1656 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:47,680 Speaker 1: is Facebook dot com slash buck sex and if you 1657 01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:53,800 Speaker 1: want to be a part of this parte Hi Buck. 1658 01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:56,599 Speaker 1: I read Mary Hudson's essay on Teaching in New York. 1659 01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:59,360 Speaker 1: I never found it on your Facebook page, by the way, 1660 01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:01,080 Speaker 1: But then again, I'm a ludd Eye. No, Harry, I'm 1661 01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:03,400 Speaker 1: a luddite because I forgot to put on the Facebook page. 1662 01:40:03,439 --> 01:40:06,759 Speaker 1: That's my bad. The last two paragraphs sum it up perfectly. 1663 01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:10,599 Speaker 1: If lower or no standards are set, they will be met. 1664 01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 1: My generation may have been one of the last ones 1665 01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:18,600 Speaker 1: to get a genuinely good general education before racial integration, 1666 01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,240 Speaker 1: which I'm not saying necessarily a bad thing unless coupled 1667 01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:24,599 Speaker 1: with lowered expectations across the board. That seems to have happened, 1668 01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:28,040 Speaker 1: and all the leftist nonsense took hold. Even my sister 1669 01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:31,280 Speaker 1: tears behind me had an inferior schooling. I believe we 1670 01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:33,559 Speaker 1: had a couple of young friends mid twenties that seemed 1671 01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:36,240 Speaker 1: to know very little. I fear the leftists have won 1672 01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:40,719 Speaker 1: by producing a population of functional illiterates, incapable of critical 1673 01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:47,800 Speaker 1: thought shield tie Harry, Harry, I don't know. Is that 1674 01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:49,960 Speaker 1: all a quote from her article? I can't tell if 1675 01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:55,600 Speaker 1: what's yours and what's from that Mary Hudson essay on 1676 01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:58,880 Speaker 1: Teaching in New York. By the way, I would just 1677 01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:03,960 Speaker 1: say that the article's really good and I should. John 1678 01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,400 Speaker 1: will remind me to put it up now. I invited 1679 01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:08,360 Speaker 1: her on the show and she didn't come on the show, 1680 01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:11,120 Speaker 1: And as producer Mike pointed out, it's probably because she's 1681 01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:13,400 Speaker 1: a liberal, because she has a PhD in French literature, 1682 01:41:13,439 --> 01:41:17,240 Speaker 1: which just doesn't sound like a very conservative resume to me. 1683 01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:20,280 Speaker 1: So not that you can't be a conservative and have 1684 01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:23,800 Speaker 1: a PhD in French literature, but it's unlikely, I think. 1685 01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:26,360 Speaker 1: But she just had out enough with the school system 1686 01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:29,439 Speaker 1: and with the most fascinating part of that essay is 1687 01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:33,639 Speaker 1: the attitude, the attitude that these kids in a high 1688 01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:37,040 Speaker 1: school level are owed something and even though they don't 1689 01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:39,200 Speaker 1: do their homework, they don't do any work, they don't 1690 01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:42,080 Speaker 1: have any respect, they don't have any discipline. They're all 1691 01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:45,160 Speaker 1: going to get to go to four year colleges. It's 1692 01:41:45,320 --> 01:41:48,160 Speaker 1: not how it works. And by the way, even if 1693 01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:50,479 Speaker 1: they could theoretically go as in the funds were made 1694 01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:53,280 Speaker 1: available to them, that may not be a good idea. 1695 01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:57,720 Speaker 1: So it's a very good essay and I will try 1696 01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:01,280 Speaker 1: to remember to share it. Garrett right, It's been a 1697 01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:03,679 Speaker 1: podcast listened for nearly four years. And share a show 1698 01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:05,160 Speaker 1: as much as I can. Thank you so much for 1699 01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:08,439 Speaker 1: taking a stand about the evils of abortion. My question 1700 01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:10,439 Speaker 1: is what does the two thousand and two Born Alive 1701 01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:15,679 Speaker 1: Infant Protection Act not accomplish that necessitated the bill blocked 1702 01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:19,040 Speaker 1: by Democrats last week? Love the Show, Garrett. Garrett a 1703 01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:22,040 Speaker 1: very good question, and I'm not sure I have the 1704 01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:25,080 Speaker 1: one correct answer on it, So I would just say 1705 01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:27,640 Speaker 1: that before I tell you that I think that this 1706 01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:34,200 Speaker 1: bill added criminal penalties for the doctor for not for 1707 01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:37,320 Speaker 1: not taking action to save the bait or to give 1708 01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:39,720 Speaker 1: the baby medical care. But it's a fair point. I 1709 01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:42,320 Speaker 1: would need to compare the two bills. I would need 1710 01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:46,120 Speaker 1: to compare them and see what's in them. Man, I 1711 01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:49,360 Speaker 1: have not done that. Michael rides Heyblock. I was watching 1712 01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:52,720 Speaker 1: Fox News today. They were saying how legalizing marijuana and 1713 01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:56,120 Speaker 1: prostitution is a bad idea. However, the drug war is 1714 01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:58,000 Speaker 1: the worst idea as a country we've ever had, and 1715 01:42:58,120 --> 01:43:02,160 Speaker 1: laws against prostitution don't stop. They just make things worse. 1716 01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:04,880 Speaker 1: Now I'm going to run out and vote for those 1717 01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:07,720 Speaker 1: crazy Democrats because of this, but I just might stay home. 1718 01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:10,719 Speaker 1: I think continue to advocate for the criminalization of victim's 1719 01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:13,000 Speaker 1: crimes a bad idea for Republicans. What do you think 1720 01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:17,800 Speaker 1: shields High? You know, Michael, I think that legalizing marijuana 1721 01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:20,400 Speaker 1: is probably the lesser of two evils. I think that 1722 01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:23,360 Speaker 1: legalizing marijuana is probably the way to go. I certainly 1723 01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:25,800 Speaker 1: don't think that people should spend any time in prison 1724 01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:29,720 Speaker 1: or have their lives ruined for personal use of marijuana. 1725 01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:34,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel very strongly about that. And as 1726 01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:39,639 Speaker 1: to prostitution, you know, it's a very it's a very 1727 01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:42,439 Speaker 1: sad thing that anybody would be in that position. And 1728 01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:45,920 Speaker 1: the line, as we've seen from some news reports recently, 1729 01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:50,439 Speaker 1: between prostitution and human trafficking, right, somebody who's essentially forced 1730 01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:56,720 Speaker 1: into prostitution can be a pretty thin one. I think 1731 01:43:56,760 --> 01:43:59,000 Speaker 1: that as a moral society, it's very hard to have 1732 01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:03,280 Speaker 1: prostitution be legal. I really do. And this is look, 1733 01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:06,360 Speaker 1: this is this is core libertarian debate stuff, and libertarians 1734 01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:10,280 Speaker 1: are obviously very into pushing to decriminalize victimless crimes. I 1735 01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:12,760 Speaker 1: would just say that marijuana is not a dangerous enough 1736 01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:15,439 Speaker 1: substance to be treated as a Schedule one drug. That's 1737 01:44:15,479 --> 01:44:18,320 Speaker 1: just that's just anti science. I don't know how else 1738 01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:21,960 Speaker 1: to put it. You know, alcohol is I think an 1739 01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:27,280 Speaker 1: obviously more dangerous substance in large quantities than marijuana is. 1740 01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,040 Speaker 1: Um so the science I think, and among other things, 1741 01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:33,680 Speaker 1: as legalizing marijuana is gonna do. But you know, prostitution, 1742 01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:36,479 Speaker 1: I just can't. I know, people do it. I know 1743 01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:39,200 Speaker 1: they say, oh, it's the oldest profession and all this stuff, 1744 01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:41,920 Speaker 1: and you know what's the line between some of these 1745 01:44:42,040 --> 01:44:45,320 Speaker 1: They have all these websites now where you you have, 1746 01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:48,240 Speaker 1: you know, an arrangement or the the they call it, 1747 01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:52,200 Speaker 1: like the girlfriend experience or any things where someone you're 1748 01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:57,280 Speaker 1: not explicitly exchanging money for sex, but the person expects 1749 01:44:57,320 --> 01:44:59,479 Speaker 1: to be. You know, you're a sugar daddy, right, you're 1750 01:44:59,479 --> 01:45:01,680 Speaker 1: signing up to so you're going to take care of them, 1751 01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:04,519 Speaker 1: and that means paying their bills and giving them money 1752 01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:07,320 Speaker 1: for things. And obviously the implication is that there will 1753 01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:12,040 Speaker 1: be a physical relationship. You know that is that illegal? 1754 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:14,960 Speaker 1: You know? I don't think so, but you start to 1755 01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:17,040 Speaker 1: see it gets a little gray. But now I've been 1756 01:45:17,080 --> 01:45:21,040 Speaker 1: talking about prostitution way longer than I intended. Er in rights, Hey, 1757 01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:23,040 Speaker 1: a quick question for you. I'm working a little project. 1758 01:45:23,080 --> 01:45:30,280 Speaker 1: I'm wondered how you would define conservatism. Thanks well, Conservatism 1759 01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:34,439 Speaker 1: is the act of conserving, and in this case, I 1760 01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:38,759 Speaker 1: think it would be using history to conserve the wisdom 1761 01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:42,320 Speaker 1: that we have learned in the past of limited government, constitutionalism, 1762 01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:46,320 Speaker 1: natural law. And yeah, that's a pretty good that's a 1763 01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:51,759 Speaker 1: pretty good off the cuff definition of conservatism. Seth rights 1764 01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:55,519 Speaker 1: Ben Wine Garden Kickbot on Friday. Well, set that makes 1765 01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:58,280 Speaker 1: me happy to hear.

I don't ever want there to be a night, 1771 01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:13,360 Speaker 1: whether you're listening live or listening on the podcast where 1772 01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:15,200 Speaker 1: you say, ah, you know, I'm not gonna tune anything 1773 01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:16,880 Speaker 1: because Buck's not there and so and so. No, No, 1774 01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,760 Speaker 1: I want you to listen every night. So that means, 1775 01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:24,280 Speaker 1: like I get the best guest host that I can.

John? I know I'm singing that's Nirvana? Right? Yeah? 1779 01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:37,800 Speaker 1: And isn't that it's Wayne right. This isn't one of 1780 01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:39,240 Speaker 1: the things where I have the lyrics wrong, is it 1781 01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:46,280 Speaker 1: that would be? Is it really I'm wrong? I thought 1782 01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:49,320 Speaker 1: it's yelling Wayne? Do I Did I just do that 1783 01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:50,960 Speaker 1: on air? Did I just get the lyrics wrong?

I 1787 01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:01,360 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if anyone who cares anymore. 1788 01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:05,559 Speaker 1: I just think Nirvana is overrated. I just think Nirvana 1789 01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:08,080 Speaker 1: is not that great. You know, people get so excited 1790 01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:10,920 Speaker 1: the nineties about Nirvana, and I think kind of sounds 1791 01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:15,160 Speaker 1: like a lot of other bands and the music is yeah, 1792 01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:17,320 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't really like that drop. So 1793 01:47:17,400 --> 01:47:19,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna have to get that one. That 1794 01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:22,040 Speaker 1: was producer Mike put that one in, and it's not 1795 01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:24,840 Speaker 1: it's not for me. But see, I'm obviously in a 1796 01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:29,120 Speaker 1: curmudgeonly mood right now. So there's that. Katherine with a 1797 01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:32,439 Speaker 1: why this is meant for roll call? Great show? Buck. 1798 01:47:32,960 --> 01:47:34,920 Speaker 1: My question for you is have you read the book 1799 01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:38,720 Speaker 1: The Human Factor by Ishmael Jones. It is written by 1800 01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:41,479 Speaker 1: a former CIA officer who says the agency has bloated 1801 01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:45,000 Speaker 1: and bureaucratically corrupt. You agree with his conclusions. Also, have 1802 01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:47,439 Speaker 1: you read The Fate of Nations by Sir John Glub 1803 01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:54,400 Speaker 1: Thanks for your response, Catherine. I have read The Human 1804 01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:58,479 Speaker 1: Factor by Ishmael Jones. He is right on some of 1805 01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:01,960 Speaker 1: his broad conclusions about the agency being bloated and bureaucratic. 1806 01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:07,240 Speaker 1: That is true. The book itself is very boring, so 1807 01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:09,679 Speaker 1: I didn't I can't say that it's something I would recommend, 1808 01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:12,280 Speaker 1: but as somebody who was in the agency, yes, there's 1809 01:48:12,280 --> 01:48:14,960 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of bloat, a lot of waste, 1810 01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,639 Speaker 1: a lot of sloth and bureaucratic nonsense. And there's really 1811 01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:22,640 Speaker 1: no question about that. Oh and the other one, the 1812 01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:25,920 Speaker 1: Fate of Nations, I have not read that. I'm almost 1813 01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:28,639 Speaker 1: done with the Last City of the Monkey God, which 1814 01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:30,759 Speaker 1: is kind of an adventure book. It's a true story. 1815 01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:35,320 Speaker 1: It's about finding the city in Honduras. In this area, 1816 01:48:35,560 --> 01:48:40,480 Speaker 1: Mosquitia of Honduras is very the kind of most unexplored 1817 01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:42,840 Speaker 1: part of Honduras. I wish I could tell you that 1818 01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:44,920 Speaker 1: I really liked it, but you know, it's a lot 1819 01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:47,360 Speaker 1: of like, oh, the dangerous snakes we gotta be you know, 1820 01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:49,519 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm reading a book that's kind of 1821 01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,519 Speaker 1: a bad version of The Crocodile Hunter, because yeah, there's 1822 01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:54,439 Speaker 1: a lot of dangerous snakes. Okay, but now you're just 1823 01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:56,519 Speaker 1: telling me more about Look, I haven't finished the books, 1824 01:48:56,520 --> 01:48:59,400 Speaker 1: so maybe it gets better. But there's a lot of like, yeah, 1825 01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:02,639 Speaker 1: and then we saw this really old stone that could 1826 01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:07,080 Speaker 1: have been an altar for religious stuff. Oh, tell me 1827 01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:10,160 Speaker 1: more about the old stone. It's not that awesome. It's 1828 01:49:10,200 --> 01:49:16,880 Speaker 1: not that awesome.

Yeah, Phil, 1844 01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:04,120 Speaker 1: I think that they just also never learned the lesson, 1845 01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:07,559 Speaker 1: and that's frustrating because they don't really they don't really 1846 01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:11,559 Speaker 1: carry the burdens, and they just do not learn those lessons. 1847 01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:14,559 Speaker 1: So I gotta find the clip of that SPAC debate 1848 01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:16,600 Speaker 1: so I can post it on Facebook.
