WEBVTT - Collusion Delusion

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:16.959
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt from collusion to obstruction.

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats are moving on now that the Muller probe

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>isn't going to give them the end of the Trump

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>presidency that they have been promising themselves. Will dig into

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:31.319
<v Speaker 1>how this dishonesty on the left will unfold, plus all

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>of the latest from the Green New Deal. The nonsense continues,

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 1>and what does Rent Control teach us about why the

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>left is always wrong on economics? That and more coming up.

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again The

0:00:54.880 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton Show begins the set. Do you think the

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>President of structed justice? Yes? I do. If it's very

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>clear that the President instructed justice. It's very clear. Eleven

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>hundred times he referred to them investigation as a witch hunt.

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 1>He tried to he fired, he tried to protect the

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Flynn from being investigated by the by the FBI. He

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>fired Comy in order to stop the Russian thing. As

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>he told NBC News, he's intimidated witnesses in public. If

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.279
<v Speaker 1>that's the case, then is the decision not to pursue

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>impeachment right now, simply political if you believe he obstructed justice.

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>No publicans spent two years shielding the president from any

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>proper accountability. It's our job to protect the rule of law,

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>that's our core function. And to do that, we are

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>going to initiate investigations into abuses of power, into a

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:59.919
<v Speaker 1>corruption of justice, into a corruption and into construction of justice.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you something, the real obstruction is the

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Democrats who are obstructing this presidency. Welcome to the buck

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>sex and show everybody. I mean, I know we start

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>off with that the Nadler over in Congress, but we're

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>already there, folks, We're already there. They know that Muller

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.839
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have them, doesn't have collusion. They know it. They

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>know it. And so now all of the obvious, dishonest

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>and ridiculous walk backs, changing the subject, smoke screens, all

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. They're all going to try to evade any

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>account of accountability. On the media side and on the

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>political side, they're just going to march on to the

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>next thing. Oh, it wasn't really Russia collusion we were

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>worried about. It was Trump's finances. We were worried about

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.959
<v Speaker 1>all this time. It was the collusion of the deals

0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>that he did back in the eighties or something. These

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>people have no honor. You have to remember, they have

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>no honor, They have no integrity. They just view this

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>as a street fight and whatever they have to do

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>to when they will. There's so much going on here, folks.

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>There's so much that you're going to see in the

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>next few weeks. Assuming the Muller probe ends as is

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.799
<v Speaker 1>expected this month, that much we can say. It's supposed

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to end this month, according to all the reporting I've

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>heard from sources in DC that would know that it

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>is going to end soon, and that there'll be a

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>report that's given to the Attorney General bar and he

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>will then be able to make a determination about what

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>will happen with that report. So we know that it's

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>supposed to kind out. They could reopen stuff, and you know,

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>until it's done. Yeah, yeah, it ain't over until the

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>fat Lady sings. Fine, but the Left has to prepare

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the ground too. They can't just wait for the inevitable

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>disappointment among their friend ze partisans about this collusion situation.

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>That there is no collusion, that Trump has been right

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>all along, and I working through this problem together for

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>two years. Have not been wrong one time on a

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>matter involving Russia collusion. Not once. Not one time I

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 1>had to say, oh, you know that thing, uh that

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought was true about collusion, Guys, I I got

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>that one wrong, you know, not once. How many times

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>have different pundits, analyst, newspapers, you name it said, oh,

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, Don Junior is gonna go to prison any

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>day now. Oh, it's just a matter of time before

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the other shoe drops, you know, Oh, there's there's they've

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>got him on the Trump Tower thing, they're gonna press charted,

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, whatever it is. How many times have we

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>been told this wrong? Wrong, wrong, wrong all along? That's

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>what the Democrats have been, That's what their little media

0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>lackeys have been. I'm usually somebody who takes the position

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>that being wrong, that having bad judgment on a matter

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>of politics, is something that we should leave open to. Okay,

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe somebody made a mistake, you know, so that we

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>should leave the door open, and people saying I was wrong,

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I admit it, and you move on from there. But

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>in this case, given the depth and breadth of the

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>effort to destroy this presidency with an obviously phony narrative,

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 1>with a phony dossier paid for by the Hillary Clinton

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>d NC. Given all the factors that we've seen here

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 1>and the viciousness with which they have gone after people

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>in Trump's orbit, defamed people that tried to, like me,

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>stand up for the president on this one, I'm sorry.

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I can't let all of that pass. And so the outlets,

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>places like CNN that have been responsible for spreading this

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>garbage all this time, they should have to pay a price.

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>And the price is that we don't ever take them

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>seriously again. They should be considered unsious news organizations, partisan, biased, dishonest.

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>And if you think that that's excessive at this point,

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>here's a little vignette. Know, CNN has this whole crew

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>of national security experts. They call them Apparently if you

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.360
<v Speaker 1>work in the federal government and you are an employee

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>of certain agencies, even if you have no particular knowledge

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 1>or judgment or expertise, they can call you an expert.

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 1>But a lawyer named Vinagrad was on CNN and this

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>is the kind of stuff I mean, This is a

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>perfect example of what we've been hearing. Major networks, major newspapers,

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.159
<v Speaker 1>saying and writing about the president for two years on

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 1>this Russia clusia nonsense. This is an example of what

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about, playclib one. His statement makes me sick

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>on a personal level. Preserving our heritage, reclaiming our heritage.

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>That sounds a lot like a certain leader that killed

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>members of my family in about six million other Jews

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 1>in the nineteen forties. This whole sea pack speech. How

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>many pieces parts of President Putin's to do list was

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>President Trump trying to accomplish today? He denigrated our institution,

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Justice, and the US Congress. He spread

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>misinformation and conspiracy theories. He undermined the credibility of several

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 1>of our institutions. He's sowed divisions, He's sowed confusion. He

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>was speaking to his base, but he was also saying

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>things that really look like Vladimir Putin scripted his speech.

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>That's a national security expert at CNN, folks, that's what

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 1>they call her. I mean, she's actually an idiot, but

0:07:54.600 --> 0:08:00.080
<v Speaker 1>a national security expert. Comparing Trump to I mean, she

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>is the trifecta. Trump is basically Hitler who killed six

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>million Jews in the Holocaust, doing everything Putin wants him

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>to do. Looks like Putin scripted his speech and undermined institutions.

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, she's hitting all the usual bs, collusion talking points,

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>making a fool of herself, and also on her point

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that Trump mentioning heritage, you know, reminds her of somebody

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>else who talked about heritage. Hitler. Here's somebody that talked

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>about heritage in a public speech. Play clip two. It's

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>time to stand up, it's time to fight back, it's

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>time to reclaim our heritage, and it's time and we

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>are ready. We are looking for this fight. The future

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.959
<v Speaker 1>of our country depends on it. Oh my gosh, Joe

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Biden said he wants to reclaim our heritage. She's like,

0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>he's like Hitler. I don't call people idiots lightly. I mean,

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that there are people that that really do

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>need they do need to be put in check, that

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>they do need to be called out because what they're

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>doing is destructive and they're making fools of themselves. There

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 1>are people on the left that I have respect for,

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>at least on an intellectual level and on a personal level.

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>There are there are plenty of leftists that I like

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>and think are smart. I think they're wrong, but I

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>can I can deal with that. The people at CNN

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>puts on air are dishonest, imbeciles to talk about this issue.

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Dishonest imbeciles. I've put out a request on Twitter and

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 1>getting a bit of attention. I've said, who wants to

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>debate Russia collusion with me? Find me a Find me

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>a leftist of some with some following and stature. Right,

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>it can't be some guy and some you know, living

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 1>in grandma's basement somewhere. But find me a leftist who's

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 1>on TV or who has a platform, who has been

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about Russia collusion along. Who wants to debate what's

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>really happened here and what's the remarkables. I had some

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 1>some professor from the University of who gives a crap

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:06.199
<v Speaker 1>APU decided that who wrote a book called proof of Collusion?

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, I'm not even I can't debate you

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>on this because to debate your position that the Russia

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>collusion is a hoax is like is like talking to

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>an anti vaxer or a you know, I think, or

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>a flat earther. Okay, so Mueller isn't going to prove collusion.

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>They know it that's why they're all worried. And by

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.440
<v Speaker 1>the way, if Mueller was going to prove collusion, trust me,

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>they'd be prepping with CNN and the stories and they'd

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>all be they're trying to walk away from this thing

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 1>as quietly as they can in the media. But Mueller

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>can't prove collusion. But this random third tier professor, he's

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.959
<v Speaker 1>already proven collusion, you see. And if you disagree with them,

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 1>you're a flat earth. This is going to be the

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>way that they treat this because they can't handle it.

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>The the recognition that these people who all think they're

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 1>so smart, Oh, all these oh how could you not

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>understand that Trump worked with Russia in some plot to

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>steal the emails and that this turned the election? And

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 1>these people are insane. But they think they're so smart

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and they understand that unless they do a lot of

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, figuring out how to how to you know,

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.959
<v Speaker 1>bob and weave here and there, move here, move there,

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>change the narrative, move on to obstruction, you see, that's

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>what they're going to do. Unless they do that, there

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:35.079
<v Speaker 1>might be a reckoning. People might actually say, why did

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you get this so wrong? Person who thinks that he

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>or she is actually a genius, when in reality they're

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>not very bright. They're probably middle to middle to uh,

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, bottom third of the intellectual pack of America.

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Like what, why did you get this one so wrong?

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>How could you have been so wrong all along? They

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 1>need to avoid that because there are people who's in time,

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>they're they're the credible of their careers hang in the balance,

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and there's just the beginning of some recognition here that

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 1>that's what's going on. So what are they going to do.

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>They're going to say that Trump obstructed justice and just

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>shift the investigation and engage in lawfare. Today they sent

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 1>out what was it eighty seven different people getting requests

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.079
<v Speaker 1>for documents from the House Judiciary Committee, which the Democrats

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 1>now run. I mean, they're just they're going to drown

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>people in paperwork. They're going to ruin people with legal bills.

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 1>This is what the Democrat and they're going to call

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>it oversight and use a lot of flowery words about

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>all respecting our constitution because people are a nightmare or

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>these Democrats are despicable. They should if they were honest people,

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>they'd say, wow, maybe maybe you know, sure, we can

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>oppose Trump on policy maybe this whole rush of thing.

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we were wrong on this one, maybe we did

0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>get ahead of the facts. It's we're thinking, oh no, no, no, no, no,

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>that's not what they want to do. That's not where

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>they want to go with this. They're gonna say that

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>it's obstruction. You see. I mean we started the show

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 1>listening to Nadler, who was not an impressive guy, but

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>he's a political fighter. He's gonna try to you know,

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna try to score some hits on the President

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 1>and his people. For sure. Nadler is saying that obstruction

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.079
<v Speaker 1>is the President calling this a witch hunt. So I

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>just want I just now want to be clear. They

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.840
<v Speaker 1>think if you take someone like Nadler at his word,

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:37.319
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats should be able to run a wildly partisan, destructive,

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>out of control, unconstitutional, not founded in any actual crime,

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:47.200
<v Speaker 1>special counsel. And the President of the United States, who

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>is the target of this ridiculous fraud, the target of

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 1>this hoax. The President is supposed to be silent, you

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 1>see while this is happening, can't say anything about this

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 1>investing Asian because that's obstruction. He's the commander in chief,

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 1>he's supposed to just sit there quietly and take it.

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.719
<v Speaker 1>If you listen to now they're the answers. Yes, these

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 1>people are absolutely off their rockers nuts. And now because

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>of enough, Oh Trump is so mean and he's terrible.

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, enough people voted. You know, oh Trump is

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>so racist and sexist and all these the Democrats have

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>control in the House. You know, the media is a

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 1>very powerful tool and managed to convince enough people foolishly

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to give the Democrats power. Look what the Democrats are

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>doing with just a taste of power. A bunch of

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>radical socialist lunatics. And now they're weaponizing the government apparatus

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 1>against the President of the United States while he's in

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>office under the flimsiest of pretexts. After doing this for

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 1>two years on Russia collusion, when they got nothing, I

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>have not yet begun to fight today, my friends, I've

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>got much more for you. Stay with me. The effective

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>impeachment is to overturn the popular will of the voters.

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 1>We must not overturn an election and remove a president

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>from office except to defend our system of government or

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 1>our constitutional liberties against the dire threat, and we must

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 1>not do so without an overwhelming consensus of the American people.

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment, or an

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 1>impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 1>opposed by the other. Such an impeachment will produce the

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come,

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and we'll call into question the very legitimacy of our

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>political institutions. You may have the votes, you may have

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the muscle, but you do not have the legitimacy of

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>a national consensus or of a constitutional imperative. This partisan

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 1>coup deta will go down in infamy in the history

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>of this nation. Wow, Nadler really opposed to impeaching president

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>for oh oh, that was Jerry Nadler in nineteen ninety

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 1>eight when Bill Clinton was on the hot seat. So

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I just want to know what change between nineteen ninety

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 1>eight when impeachment should not be a partisan tool to

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>overturned the popular will of the voters, and now when

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>we know that they're going to try to slow build

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 1>up to impeachment. They're essentially going to put Trump's administration

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>through the meat grinder or see what comes out the

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 1>other side, and then decide then decide if they're going

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>to go full force on impeachment. But this is all

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be a constant testing of the water. They're

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna slowly turn up the heat. Turn up the heat,

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>see what they're doing. That's going to be the plan.

0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I do think by the way they end up impeaching

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the president, I think that that's where we're heading. There.

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely unhinged base is going to demand it. There's no

0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 1>way around it. There's not some reasonable Democrat party that

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.160
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden is going to come forward. And

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.719
<v Speaker 1>that's why I think it's it's important we all know

0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that this is what we're up against. Folks. They're gonna lie,

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna do whatever they have to do in order

0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to destroy this president and to ruin him and impeachment,

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:22.919
<v Speaker 1>even if it is counterproductive for Democrats, They're willing to

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 1>do it because they want to. I really believe that

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:31.199
<v Speaker 1>as well. Usually politicians, they're they're only real interest is

0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.400
<v Speaker 1>self interest, as we just see most of the time.

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.919
<v Speaker 1>But with these Democrats right now, I think a lot

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.640
<v Speaker 1>of them have taken on hatred for President Trump. They

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:45.399
<v Speaker 1>really really do hate him. Fortunately we have Trump around

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.879
<v Speaker 1>who will fight back in this whole process. I like

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>this one shifty shift. I'd never heard this before. This

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 1>was at spac Place seventeen. These people are sick. I

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 1>saw a little shifty shift yesterday. Now it's the first

0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:08.120
<v Speaker 1>time he went into a meeting and he said, we're

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.480
<v Speaker 1>going to look into his finance. I said, where did

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.640
<v Speaker 1>that come from? He always talked about Russia, collusion with Russia,

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:21.440
<v Speaker 1>the collusion delusion. The collusion delusion is real, folks. It's

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.440
<v Speaker 1>not going away either. More for you on where the

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are going to take this in the waning days

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>of the Muller Paluza. Oh no, you mean Saint Muller

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 1>is not going to give the Democrats the end of

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the Trump presidency. How will they ever handle it? Unfortunately,

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 1>they've got plans. I'll tell you what they are on

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:45.719
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the break. So now we're waiting

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 1>for a report and we'll find out whether or not

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and who we're dealing with. We're waiting for a report

0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.159
<v Speaker 1>by people that weren't elected, and now we have people

0:18:55.600 --> 0:19:00.879
<v Speaker 1>that lost. And unfortunately, you put the wrong people in

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>a couple of positions, and they leave people for a

0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.119
<v Speaker 1>long time that shouldn't be there, and all of a

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 1>sudden they're trying to take you out with both. Okay,

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the notion that we're talking about, the notion that there's

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 1>no evidence is just factually wrong. Just in the public domain,

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 1>there are literally reams and realms of evidence of Russian

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:27.360
<v Speaker 1>outreach the Trump officials, and clear interest from Trump officials,

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 1>including the president's own son, welcoming the opportunity to get

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 1>dirt on Hillary. Circumstantial evidence, as opposed to direct evidence,

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.639
<v Speaker 1>is what you go back and forth on that. I

0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.560
<v Speaker 1>think one of the things, and I don't claim to

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.399
<v Speaker 1>be a legal expert by any means, but folks who

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I've talked to have been in the prosecutorial business, have said,

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you're looking at conspiracies, it is almost

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:58.160
<v Speaker 1>always based upon a pattern of circumstantial evidence. Bracy, Okay,

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.640
<v Speaker 1>these people are absolutely out of their minds, and it's

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.120
<v Speaker 1>because their reputations hanging the balance, and they know that

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 1>their power is at risk here because if nobody believes

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>them anymore, how are they going to stay in power?

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:14.119
<v Speaker 1>How are they going to be important? That was Senator

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Mark Warner obviously falling up after Trump is just like

0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 1>these people are just completely full of it, and Trump

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 1>is right. But Senator Mark Warner. There, this is a

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:29.440
<v Speaker 1>novel approach. Oh, collusion has already been proven. What there's

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:35.160
<v Speaker 1>already proof of collusion where I'm sorry, taking a meeting

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.119
<v Speaker 1>with a Russian person who says that she has she

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:42.960
<v Speaker 1>has information that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton? You

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 1>think that's collusion? I need to understand that, because, by

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the way, if that's collusion, then what has the mother

0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 1>probe been doing all this time? No information was exchanged

0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.840
<v Speaker 1>at this meeting. Let's change the character a little bit here,

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 1>So you're gonna tell me that if the Hillary Clinton

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.400
<v Speaker 1>campaign had a oh, I don't know, a British guy

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:11.959
<v Speaker 1>approached them, who remember that's a foreigner. I know. Oh,

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Russia is supposed to scare us so much, Brits or

0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>foreigners too. British guy approached them and he's like, hey,

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm an investigative journalist and uh, I've got

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 1>some incredible information on Donald Trump that's gonna sink his candidacy.

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Are they they they're gonna not take that meeting if

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 1>they have some you know, basically, or you know, no

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:32.840
<v Speaker 1>one's gonna take that meeting in the Hillary Clinton campaign

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 1>or do they think we're all morons? I guess they do.

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:41.000
<v Speaker 1>They're wrong, but they must believe this because I mean,

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.240
<v Speaker 1>this is pathetic. We're back to the Trump Tower meeting

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 1>where no information was exchanged and nothing happened. And when

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you look also at the connections that vezel Nitskaya, this

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Russian woman has, you know, you know her background, it

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>looks like a setup. The whole thing looks like a setup.

0:21:57.640 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 1>She's gonna show up to this meeting. I set up

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.120
<v Speaker 1>against the Trump campaign. You're gonna set up in this sitting.

0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>This meeting doesn't have any information on Hillary, and I'm

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 1>going to claim she also wanted to talk about the

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Magnitsky Act. I think Fusion, GPS or Perkins Koe and

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:13.760
<v Speaker 1>one of them was, I forget what it is. You know,

0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.399
<v Speaker 1>it's tough to keep all this stuff straight. They were

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:18.960
<v Speaker 1>involved in trying to get lobby I think it was

0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Perkins Koe. They're trying to get rid of the Magnitsky Act.

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:25.159
<v Speaker 1>I forget some one of them was. But there's some

0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>shady stuff and in her you know that that goes

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to her motivations for this meeting. But that's the collusion. Well,

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 1>here's here's a surprise for Mark Warner. I don't give

0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a crap about that meeting. I don't think it was

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean it might have been unwise to take under

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the circumstances, because there was nothing that happened, and it

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 1>opened them up to all this lunacy. But nothing happened,

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and who cares. And under the circumstances, I can understand

0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 1>why somebody would have taken the meeting. They keep saying, oh,

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Vesilandskaya with ties to Russia. Everybody has ties to Russian intelligence.

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Everybody in Russia has an uncle named Yuri, that knows

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:00.320
<v Speaker 1>somebody that knows somebody who's in the f s B.

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:05.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, I mean this ties to Russian intelligence. They

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:08.199
<v Speaker 1>didn't sit down and have a meeting with the Russian

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.720
<v Speaker 1>ambassador for opposition information. And I think it's fair to

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:16.360
<v Speaker 1>ask that's not criminal either. So what exactly someone needs

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 1>to explain to me? Mark Warner. See, then, never debate

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 1>this stuff in the open, And that's why this has

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 1>been so damaging the credibility of the media. None of

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.720
<v Speaker 1>these people ever subject themselves to opposing points of view,

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:29.399
<v Speaker 1>none of them will ever allow themselves to be cross

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 1>examined on this stuff. So so Mark Warner Senator Mark

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Warner Virginia explained to me, this riddle me. This chief

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:41.120
<v Speaker 1>taking a meeting with a Russian to find out if

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 1>there's opposition information about Hillary Clinton or her campaign. That

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 1>is a horrible, unpardonable sin. But paying through a cutout, officially,

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 1>your campaign paying through a cutout a foreigner, Christopher Steele,

0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:05.159
<v Speaker 1>to use foreign swords Russians, to compile a completely BS

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:11.440
<v Speaker 1>dossier that you then, using Democrat allies in the government apparatus,

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 1>launder through the intelligence community to get FISA warrants, started

0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 1>to spy on the campaign and Americans who had done

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:26.919
<v Speaker 1>nothing wrong. You think that's not a problem. I mean,

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:29.119
<v Speaker 1>do you think he has an answer? Oh, but you

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:32.040
<v Speaker 1>know Bud, you know Brennan and and Comy, and these

0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:35.920
<v Speaker 1>are the great amer No, they're not. These people are clowns.

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:39.639
<v Speaker 1>They are partisans. They were drunk with their own power.

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 1>They thought they were this special pratorian guard for the

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:47.399
<v Speaker 1>federal bureaucracy here in DC, and they got caught with

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 1>their hands in the cookie jar, and their reputations have

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 1>taken the hit that they deserve. They should be thought

0:24:56.600 --> 0:25:01.920
<v Speaker 1>of as the partisan hacks that they are. Comy McCabe,

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:07.880
<v Speaker 1>struck page, Brannan Clapper, go down the list, all of them, Yates,

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 1>all of them. Oh, but they were in senior government positions.

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Like that's supposed to mean something to me. I don't care.

0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Having a senior government position doesn't mean you're beyond never

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 1>my criticism. You're you're beyond prosecution, You're beyond the ethical

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:34.399
<v Speaker 1>boundaries that the rest of us would expect. Of course,

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:37.920
<v Speaker 1>not Eric could. They're they're they're corrupt kings, stretching back

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:39.360
<v Speaker 1>for as far as there have been kings. I mean

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:42.240
<v Speaker 1>this notion that will you know, James Comy was such

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 1>an honest fellow, and you know the FISA process. They

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 1>would never abuse that. Oh oh okay. See I was

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 1>in the CIA when the Libs hated it, and all

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I ever heard about was torture and rendition and all

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:58.080
<v Speaker 1>these terrible things. That's all the Libs are talking about,

0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 1>how terrible, and they they wanted to procute, they wanted

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 1>to prosecute some of my colleagues, send them to prison

0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 1>for fighting the war on terror. Now, you can agree

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 1>or disagree with whether or not their tactics are right

0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:13.639
<v Speaker 1>or wrong, but let's not pretend that Libs think that

0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 1>just because you have a senior position in a national

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:20.719
<v Speaker 1>security organization of the government that you can have you know,

0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:25.879
<v Speaker 1>made made a big mistake Mark Warner. You know, Mark

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Warner was on Meet the Press. So obviously he won't

0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:33.840
<v Speaker 1>get any real pushback from from Chuck Todd because they're

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 1>all in on this. This has been great. They by

0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the way, they have monetized this. I think you need

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 1>to remember that too. Not only have the Democrats been

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 1>using this in order to try to stop Trump's presidency,

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:47.439
<v Speaker 1>because if Trump had been allowed to do what he

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do without this investigation, because this is really cheating.

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is not this is not political opposition,

0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 1>this is not making. This is dirty tricks, underhanded stuff.

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is like, yeah, sure we had a vote,

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:06.920
<v Speaker 1>but you know we were burning some of the ballots

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 1>that we didn't like. You know that that's not democracy, right,

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 1>That's not what's supposed to happen here. So when you

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>look now at what they've done, they've been able to

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:20.040
<v Speaker 1>slow down this present. They've been able to scare away

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good people from working for the administration

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:24.000
<v Speaker 1>all of us, and many of them have made themselves

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:27.760
<v Speaker 1>richer and more famous in the process. I mean, you know,

0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Jim Acosta has created a brand of just being a

0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>overly hairsprayed idiot who makes a mockery of himself in

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 1>his hashtag resistance moments in front of the the administration because

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 1>he's a journal Oh, all these journals. Oh, it's so

0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:45.640
<v Speaker 1>scary to be a journalist in America, you know, I mean,

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>every death is a tragedy, folks. We've been like five

0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 1>journalists killed on the job in the last thirty years.

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Thirty years basically as long as I've been alive, there

0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 1>have been five journalist killed in America. But oh, my gosh,

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump is terrify all the journalists. It's so scary to

0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:08.080
<v Speaker 1>be a journalist. Now. These people have absolutely no shame,

0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to insist on avoiding accountability in every

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 1>way that they can, and they're going to move on

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:18.399
<v Speaker 1>to this additional fairy tale of obstruction. Let's think with

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 1>us for a moment. I mean, you have congressmen who

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:23.800
<v Speaker 1>are already saying that Trump opposing the investigation of him

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:25.399
<v Speaker 1>and those around him, and saying that he does not

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:27.199
<v Speaker 1>agree with it. Is he supposed to say he does

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:29.680
<v Speaker 1>agree with it. I mean, this is really you know,

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna we're gonna put the witch out in the

0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 1>middle of the lake. We're gonna tie rocks to her.

0:28:34.840 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>If she drowns, then we know that. You know. If

0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:42.959
<v Speaker 1>if she drowns, then clearly she's innocent. And if she

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't drown, well then she's a witch. And then we'll

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 1>have to burn her at the stake. Thanks. Right, What

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 1>is Trump's supposed to say? Here, you're right, I've been

0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 1>guilty all along. You got me? Oh no, he's not guilty.

0:28:56.840 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's what he's been telling people. And yet that

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:01.760
<v Speaker 1>alone is you that's some kind of evidence of wrong.

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean this it has been exhausting, has it? And

0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 1>now that we're getting now that we're getting close to

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 1>not even really the truth, because the truth would be

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>McCabe federally prosecuted for lying, Comy prosecuted for official misconduct.

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, the truth would be Hillary prosecuted. Yeah,

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:26.320
<v Speaker 1>that's right, Hillary prosecuted for violating the Espionage Act over

0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 1>one hundred times. That's what That's what real justice would

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 1>look like. I'm not saying we're going to get justice,

0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>because we know in this country, unfortunately there are two

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>tiered There's a two tiered justice system, one for Democrats

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and one for Republicans. But at least we will be

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:48.240
<v Speaker 1>approaching the end of this collusion nightmare and all the

0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 1>nonsense around it from the Mullar probe perspective, and the

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are going to act like nothing has happened, nothing changes,

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:05.240
<v Speaker 1>The plan is still the same. That's what they're gonna do.

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna now run additional investigations as though they could

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:13.760
<v Speaker 1>find out between now in election day. What Muller was

0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:19.200
<v Speaker 1>a team of Democrat seasoned, vicious prosecutors, by the way,

0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these are these are people that did not

0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 1>give anyone an inch. Nobody got the benefit of the

0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 1>doubt with these guys. That was a Republican. Where's Tony

0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Podesta by the way, you know the guy that's tied

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to clinton close confidant, John Podesta, guy ran Clinton's campaign.

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Remember how he was involved in lobbying overseas same organizations

0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:42.840
<v Speaker 1>at Manafort. Do we where's his Faraoh registration charge? I

0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:46.800
<v Speaker 1>could go through this all day. General Flynn gets charged

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:50.800
<v Speaker 1>for lying about a non crime. Why shouldn't FBI Acting

0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:54.920
<v Speaker 1>director McCabe get charged for lying about misconduct while in office.

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Anyone want to try to answer that one for me?

0:30:58.120 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>How many times do we have to see this despair?

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:07.040
<v Speaker 1>It's despicable, it's despicable, But they don't plan on changing

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:11.920
<v Speaker 1>anything here. They they are digging in and they are

0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:17.640
<v Speaker 1>doubling down, and it's it's it's obviously very very troubling.

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 1>But we need to understand that we have to continue

0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 1>to fight because even when this Muller probe finally comes

0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to a conclusion, they're not gonna stop. Trey Goudy, by

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the way, it said that, you know this is just

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 1>all like we all know that, right, it's all politics.

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I let's hear from Trey play five. Remember when Natler

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 1>and Shift didn't want to interfere with ongoing investigations. Does

0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 1>anybody remember that they no longer have that concern? So

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 1>this is all about twenty twenty and they can ask

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:52.200
<v Speaker 1>for it, but the President's got really smart lawyers, and

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd be shocked if they produced it. Well, they sent

0:31:56.960 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 1>out to the eighty seven request for Joe. I mean,

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:02.640
<v Speaker 1>they're just gonna They're gonna flood the zone with investigative requests.

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:04.960
<v Speaker 1>They're going to flood the zone with legal bills for

0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody around Trump. These people, it's all just sore loserism

0:32:10.000 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 1>about Hillary in twenty sixteen for a lot of them.

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 1>You gotta remember this, and this includes people like Comey too.

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 1>They were expecting eight glorious years of being close to

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the decrepid part of power that was going to be

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the Clinton administration. That's what they thought they were owed.

0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:30.800
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people had to pretend that Hillary was likable,

0:32:30.840 --> 0:32:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that Hillary wasn't a sociopathic grasper, a greedy, lying, manipulative

0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, they all had to sort of just pretend.

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 1>But the point was they were going to get eight

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 1>years of Queen Hillary, you know, yeay queen, and they

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:50.640
<v Speaker 1>were going to get all the all the trappings of

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:53.120
<v Speaker 1>power and wealth that came along with it, and then

0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Trump stole it from them. And they're not going to

0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:59.080
<v Speaker 1>let that go because now, who knows the next Democrat

0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 1>nominee is going to be. Even of twenty twenty works

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 1>out for the Democrats, which I don't think it will.

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of left wing Democrats, or I

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:08.840
<v Speaker 1>should say, pardon me, not, a lot of establishment Democrats

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>who cannot will not forgive what they feel was stolen

0:33:13.440 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 1>from them, because you see, they're really important people, they're

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:18.080
<v Speaker 1>really powerful. There are kind of people that go on

0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:22.200
<v Speaker 1>TV and say collusions already been proven. How do you

0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:26.520
<v Speaker 1>not know? Yeah, those people, they're not going to change anything.

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back. So while he's talking collusion, collusion, collusion,

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I think in oversight we should be talking about taxes,

0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:40.880
<v Speaker 1>taxi taxes, and his bank accounting, bank accounts, his bank account,

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:45.360
<v Speaker 1>his financial statement, statement statements, because that's where I think,

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:49.640
<v Speaker 1>actually some of the most troubling practices are with direct

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 1>relevance to the American people under the scope of oversight.

0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:58.000
<v Speaker 1>The good news for us is that aoc there o'cazio

0:33:58.040 --> 0:34:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Cortez is too dumb to high the plan, and the

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 1>plan is, although it is obvious what the plan is

0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:10.640
<v Speaker 1>to be fair, to essentially engage in an IRS style,

0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 1>all in audit of everything a president has ever done,

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:18.400
<v Speaker 1>all of his personal finances, all of his bank accounts, everything.

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Just investigate him and when he was a private individual

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. Just investigate everything. Now, what I would want

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:27.560
<v Speaker 1>to point out is that the people that are telling

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you and have been telling you for two years now,

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, Trump is undermining your institutions. How can

0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 1>any American have any faith in Congress as an institution

0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:40.399
<v Speaker 1>in our government right now as an institution if the

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:44.239
<v Speaker 1>response that we're going to see from elected officials when

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 1>they don't agree with someone is to just conduct a

0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:51.160
<v Speaker 1>fishing expedition of everything in their life. And now you

0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:53.239
<v Speaker 1>might say, Buck, that's what politic be is No, no no, no,

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about using subpoena power the law. I'm talking

0:34:57.200 --> 0:35:00.719
<v Speaker 1>about the use of the force of government to pry

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:04.160
<v Speaker 1>into someone's life. Never mind the you know we've they've

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 1>already tried everything. They already tried their October surprise with

0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:08.759
<v Speaker 1>the Billy Bush tape and all that they've done, all that,

0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:11.799
<v Speaker 1>we've already been through all that. Now it's going to

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 1>be seize his records, seize his bank account, seize his taxes,

0:35:16.880 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and we all know those are going to get leaked, right,

0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:23.600
<v Speaker 1>we all know it. This is the way the Democrats

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>play the game. It's dirty. But there you have to remember,

0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:30.759
<v Speaker 1>there are zealots. They are radicals. Now the Democrats have

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:34.280
<v Speaker 1>radicalized as a party. And that's why what would stop

0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:37.160
<v Speaker 1>normal people from acting in this way won't stop them.

0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Because they think that they are on a mission from

0:35:41.520 --> 0:35:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Gaia or you know, Mother Earth or whatever they pray to.

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:49.279
<v Speaker 1>We've got more coming up, teams. Stay with me. It

0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:52.479
<v Speaker 1>is really tough to hire people. You got a tight

0:35:52.560 --> 0:35:54.960
<v Speaker 1>turnaround the deadline. You gotta get it done. You don't

0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 1>want to lose out by not having somebody in that

0:35:57.520 --> 0:36:00.320
<v Speaker 1>necessary role. When we were hiring the best people in

0:36:54.760 --> 0:36:59.239
<v Speaker 1>the other side, I encourage it. I say, no, no,

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I think the New Green Deal or whatever the hell

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 1>they call it, the Green New Deal, right, green New Deal,

0:37:12.680 --> 0:37:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I encourage it. I think I think it's really something

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:21.840
<v Speaker 1>that they should promote. It is something that we should

0:37:21.920 --> 0:37:24.279
<v Speaker 1>laugh at, although we also have to take it seriously.

0:37:25.160 --> 0:37:27.560
<v Speaker 1>It is worthy of mockery. But just because you mock

0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:32.799
<v Speaker 1>something does not mean that it can't be a problem. Right.

0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:37.160
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I think that satire and mockery are very important,

0:37:37.280 --> 0:37:43.240
<v Speaker 1>very potent, and necessary political weapons. But I would also

0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:47.439
<v Speaker 1>say that, yeah, we need to we need to have foam.

0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:49.120
<v Speaker 1>All we talk about the Green New Deal, but we

0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:52.360
<v Speaker 1>need to be aware that this could become our reality

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 1>much more quickly than I think a lot of folks realize.

0:37:55.560 --> 0:37:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Because it is a It is a cult, and I

0:37:59.120 --> 0:38:01.680
<v Speaker 1>really mean that. I mean, this is not a normal

0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 1>people are not normal when they talk about the Green

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:06.920
<v Speaker 1>New Deal. They do not approach this from the perspective

0:38:07.040 --> 0:38:09.560
<v Speaker 1>of let's have a rational discussion. It's why don't you

0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:14.319
<v Speaker 1>want the earth to survive? And they completely freak out,

0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and they lie about it a lot. But before I

0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:20.799
<v Speaker 1>get to the freak out chorus on the Green New Deal,

0:38:22.280 --> 0:38:26.360
<v Speaker 1>we should at least establish that this is where you

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:31.320
<v Speaker 1>see the Democrats embracing socialism really across the board. Every

0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:35.120
<v Speaker 1>major Democrat candidate for president right now has signed on

0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:36.759
<v Speaker 1>for the Green New Deal, every single one of them.

0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:40.799
<v Speaker 1>The Green New Deal is socialism, make no mistake about it.

0:38:40.920 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>That is what the Green New Deal is. And Kirsten Jillibrand,

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:47.399
<v Speaker 1>who is a big fake Aphonian, a liar, she can

0:38:47.440 --> 0:38:49.120
<v Speaker 1>say as much as he wants about this, Well, she

0:38:49.160 --> 0:38:52.759
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really know very much about anything, but she is

0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:56.600
<v Speaker 1>now claiming that the Green New Deal is something Republicans

0:38:56.640 --> 0:38:58.239
<v Speaker 1>can go for. I mean, I don't know if she's

0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:01.359
<v Speaker 1>not smart or delusional or what, but play glibble looven.

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:03.359
<v Speaker 1>So you think there's coming ground on a Green New

0:39:03.400 --> 0:39:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Deal in medic You think you can get Republican votes

0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:08.160
<v Speaker 1>for that? Yes, modern republicans can. I tell you why,

0:39:08.200 --> 0:39:10.400
<v Speaker 1>because I believe it. So the Green New Deal is

0:39:10.440 --> 0:39:13.360
<v Speaker 1>three things. These are not new ideas. It is infrastructure,

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:16.719
<v Speaker 1>which is widely bipartisan. More money for mass transit, more

0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:21.720
<v Speaker 1>money for electrocrids, more money for rural water supplies, roads, bridges, everything.

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 1>The second piece of the Green New Deal is jobs.

0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:27.000
<v Speaker 1>It's all about training people to do win solar to

0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:30.480
<v Speaker 1>your thermal hydropower, biofuels, and we do that in New York.

0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:34.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the Green New Deal. If it's going to

0:39:34.840 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 1>involve infrastructure spending that the Green New Deal would be

0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:43.000
<v Speaker 1>okay with, is going to be the biggest waste of money,

0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:47.400
<v Speaker 1>the biggest boondoggle, the biggest fraud of a public works

0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:51.239
<v Speaker 1>project in the history of the planet. Keep in mind

0:39:51.239 --> 0:39:53.800
<v Speaker 1>that if we were to really take these people seriously

0:39:53.840 --> 0:39:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and do what they want us to do, without a

0:39:56.640 --> 0:40:02.160
<v Speaker 1>replacement for for fossil fuels in our economy, which we

0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:05.759
<v Speaker 1>do not have, not only would the economy screech to

0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:08.680
<v Speaker 1>a halt, you would also have people starving. I mean,

0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:11.080
<v Speaker 1>fossil fuels are necessary for the production of food, for

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the transport of food. I mean. The level of catastrophe

0:40:15.480 --> 0:40:18.319
<v Speaker 1>that we would have to endure to go to a

0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:24.799
<v Speaker 1>net zero carbon emission society is astonishing. It's the kind

0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:27.680
<v Speaker 1>of thing that only a zealot, that only a radical

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:31.319
<v Speaker 1>could push for. But that's what they're doing, and I

0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:36.920
<v Speaker 1>think that it's important that everyone understand what we're up

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:42.319
<v Speaker 1>against here. The Green New Deal is a religion of

0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the left. These are people who want to inflict themselves. Remember,

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:49.799
<v Speaker 1>it's not religious belief in the sense that this is

0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:54.280
<v Speaker 1>their spirituality, that's private, that's personal, that guides their own lives.

0:40:54.440 --> 0:40:57.919
<v Speaker 1>In fact, one of the defining characteristics of the Green

0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:01.440
<v Speaker 1>New Deal is the hypocrisy of the high priests and

0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:07.480
<v Speaker 1>priestesses of it, as we see from o'cazio Cortez and

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the New York Post piece on her that says that

0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you know she's her head quarter is real close to

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:14.000
<v Speaker 1>a subway. It doesn't take the subway. It spends a

0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:17.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of money on ubers and flies instead of takes

0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:19.799
<v Speaker 1>the train from New York to DC whenever she can.

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:23.680
<v Speaker 1>So you know, she's not talking the talk and walking

0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the walk. Or maybe she's talking the talk, but she's

0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:28.719
<v Speaker 1>not walking the you know what I mean. However, that

0:41:29.200 --> 0:41:30.960
<v Speaker 1>foom and wants can't get fooled again, you know what

0:41:31.000 --> 0:41:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. But this is a this is a left

0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:40.839
<v Speaker 1>wing religious belief, and there is no room for heresy.

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:44.520
<v Speaker 1>You will be made to believe too. You will be

0:41:44.600 --> 0:41:47.879
<v Speaker 1>made to live under the mandates of these Green New

0:41:47.960 --> 0:41:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Deal high priests and priestesses too. That's what makes this

0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:57.680
<v Speaker 1>so aggressive and so problematic for all the rest of us.

0:41:57.920 --> 0:42:00.640
<v Speaker 1>If you know, it's one thing for like think of

0:42:00.680 --> 0:42:06.480
<v Speaker 1>this like vegans, Vegans can be pretty radical. Vegans can

0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:08.600
<v Speaker 1>be pretty intense. I'm not saying all the minute. Thirdlier

0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:10.680
<v Speaker 1>vegan listening to the show, I'm not necessarily something. You

0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:12.799
<v Speaker 1>just think it's healthy, and that's cool. And look, I

0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:15.840
<v Speaker 1>got no problem with vegans. People want to eat what

0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:17.920
<v Speaker 1>they want to eat. That's fine. You know, I probably

0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:20.520
<v Speaker 1>eat too much high fat and cheese and things like

0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, everyone, you know, these are our own personal choices.

0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:25.840
<v Speaker 1>But imagine a vegan who came into Oh, you know

0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:28.600
<v Speaker 1>who's a vegan, Corey Booker. It's all you need to

0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:30.520
<v Speaker 1>know about him, it's all you need to know. Can't

0:42:30.560 --> 0:42:33.839
<v Speaker 1>can't trust them, uh guy, guys like, oh, I can't

0:42:33.840 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 1>eat bacon, and I can't can't trust them. But imagine

0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:39.400
<v Speaker 1>a vegan that said that you have to live the

0:42:39.440 --> 0:42:43.480
<v Speaker 1>same lifestyle that they do. That is kind of like

0:42:43.520 --> 0:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the Green New Deal people, except they don't want to

0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:49.319
<v Speaker 1>live a vegan lifestyle. They just want you to live

0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:52.160
<v Speaker 1>a vegan lifestyle. That's right. They want to take this

0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:55.920
<v Speaker 1>steak out of your mouth while they're sitting there chomping

0:42:55.960 --> 0:42:59.399
<v Speaker 1>on a ribbi right in front of you. No, I'm

0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:01.319
<v Speaker 1>not a violent hand, but that might push even the

0:43:01.360 --> 0:43:04.560
<v Speaker 1>most even tempered of us to take matters into their

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:06.920
<v Speaker 1>own hands. You take the ribbi out of my mouth

0:43:06.920 --> 0:43:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and you eat it in front of me, We're gonna

0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:14.440
<v Speaker 1>have problems. But that's imagine the the kind of extremism

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and evangelism of a vegan, but they're not going to

0:43:20.000 --> 0:43:22.240
<v Speaker 1>actually do it. Only you get to live that lifestyle.

0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:24.719
<v Speaker 1>That's what the Green New Deal is. That's how this

0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:28.200
<v Speaker 1>is is so different. And if you have any doubts

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:30.520
<v Speaker 1>about whether this is it's fair to call this a

0:43:31.640 --> 0:43:34.080
<v Speaker 1>religious belief, remember there there and there's all kinds of

0:43:34.120 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, Satanism is a religious belief. You know, the

0:43:37.080 --> 0:43:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Thuggy Cult of India was a religious belief. There's a

0:43:40.640 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of religious beliefs out there. Right. Just because something's

0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:45.360
<v Speaker 1>a religion doesn't mean that we have that's another fallacy.

0:43:45.400 --> 0:43:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Just because it's a religion, I have to respect it.

0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:50.800
<v Speaker 1>False I do not. I do not have to respect

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 1>it just because it's a religion, Because if that were

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:56.360
<v Speaker 1>the case, the Church of the Flying Postafarian or the

0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Flying spaghetti Strainer or whatever it is, I'd have to

0:43:58.760 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 1>respect that religion too, and I don't. But in case

0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you had any doubts, you are now seeing an increase

0:44:06.080 --> 0:44:11.400
<v Speaker 1>in these movements of people and just seeing more public

0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:14.280
<v Speaker 1>commentary from people who are saying that they're so afraid,

0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:17.680
<v Speaker 1>they're so afraid of what the future holds because of

0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:22.360
<v Speaker 1>climate change of stea, that they won't even have kids

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:28.440
<v Speaker 1>play clip twenty one. Our planet isn't a kind of collapse.

0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:31.920
<v Speaker 1>The natural world is collapsing around us, and that's actually

0:44:31.960 --> 0:44:37.560
<v Speaker 1>happening right now. And I'm so disappointed by the response

0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:43.080
<v Speaker 1>by our authorities to this crisis and so freaked out

0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:49.200
<v Speaker 1>by it everything I've read that I've basically last year,

0:44:49.239 --> 0:44:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I came to the decision that I couldn't bring a

0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:55.239
<v Speaker 1>child into that, and you have come to the same conclusion, Alice, Yeah,

0:44:55.280 --> 0:45:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I have. I'm I mean, each day for me is struggle,

0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I really do. Just I'm so depressed and that has

0:45:04.760 --> 0:45:08.920
<v Speaker 1>led to just a fear that I've never felt before.

0:45:09.040 --> 0:45:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And my decision for being on birth strike, and mostly

0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:15.359
<v Speaker 1>has come from not wanting to pass that fear onto

0:45:15.440 --> 0:45:18.480
<v Speaker 1>someone else. If we're in this situation now, you know,

0:45:18.520 --> 0:45:21.640
<v Speaker 1>even since my parents had me, we've destroyed sixty percent

0:45:22.360 --> 0:45:25.160
<v Speaker 1>of life on this planet. What would that be like

0:45:25.200 --> 0:45:27.840
<v Speaker 1>when my child's my age, will there be ten percent left.

0:45:27.920 --> 0:45:31.200
<v Speaker 1>That's not just to do with being, you know, a

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:34.200
<v Speaker 1>nature of what life enthusiasts like I am. That's actually

0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:38.839
<v Speaker 1>that's dangerous as well. Yeah, it's like I can't bring

0:45:38.960 --> 0:45:43.520
<v Speaker 1>kids into the world because you know, climate change and

0:45:43.600 --> 0:45:47.400
<v Speaker 1>we're losing all these species, and if we don't have

0:45:48.040 --> 0:45:51.360
<v Speaker 1>an ample supply of delve to smell in the natural

0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:57.680
<v Speaker 1>habitat in the Simi Valley of California, I just feel like, look,

0:45:57.719 --> 0:46:01.920
<v Speaker 1>it's just not worth it anymore. Yeah, so I needed

0:46:01.920 --> 0:46:05.080
<v Speaker 1>four thousand brown m and M's or Rosie wouldn't go

0:46:05.160 --> 0:46:08.120
<v Speaker 1>on stage that night. I managed to take care of

0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the target with a can of mace, but the shopkeeper

0:46:11.239 --> 0:46:13.440
<v Speaker 1>in her sum was a different story altogether. All right,

0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, So, but those people are crazy, right, I mean,

0:46:16.920 --> 0:46:20.959
<v Speaker 1>they're they're actually nuts. I can't have a baby. I'm

0:46:20.960 --> 0:46:24.440
<v Speaker 1>on birthstrike. I've never heard of that before. Birth strike

0:46:25.840 --> 0:46:29.080
<v Speaker 1>they're they're on birth strike because of the Green New Deal,

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:33.440
<v Speaker 1>because of how dangerous the world is going to be

0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:35.040
<v Speaker 1>going I'm sorry, because of the lack of a Green

0:46:35.040 --> 0:46:36.920
<v Speaker 1>New Deal, because of how dangerous the world's gonna because

0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:41.359
<v Speaker 1>a climate change. Really, these are adults, folks. These are

0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:45.640
<v Speaker 1>people that at least ostensibly can read and write and think.

0:46:45.680 --> 0:46:49.680
<v Speaker 1>And not only are they truly some of them, I

0:46:49.680 --> 0:46:52.319
<v Speaker 1>mean I do believe that a lot of them. This

0:46:52.440 --> 0:46:56.919
<v Speaker 1>is just a political mobilization tool. It's classic Alinsky. Once

0:46:56.920 --> 0:46:59.680
<v Speaker 1>you mobilize a people on pollution, then you have them

0:46:59.680 --> 0:47:02.000
<v Speaker 1>to mobile lies on corruption, then you have the mobilize

0:47:02.040 --> 0:47:04.160
<v Speaker 1>them on racism. You know, once you get people all

0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:06.120
<v Speaker 1>riled up about one thing, it's very easy to move

0:47:06.160 --> 0:47:09.640
<v Speaker 1>them onto another thing. And so this is essentially a

0:47:09.640 --> 0:47:13.319
<v Speaker 1>mobilization tactic. But the Green New Deal is really at

0:47:13.320 --> 0:47:17.759
<v Speaker 1>its core for those who are the high priests and priestesses.

0:47:17.840 --> 0:47:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they really, I don't think they're the

0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:22.359
<v Speaker 1>true believers. The true believers are those women who are like, yeah,

0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:24.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just you know, I just don't want to have

0:47:24.080 --> 0:47:27.960
<v Speaker 1>a baby because it's like one degree centigrade. It might

0:47:28.040 --> 0:47:31.760
<v Speaker 1>be like one point two degree centigrade in a hundred years,

0:47:32.160 --> 0:47:35.480
<v Speaker 1>And what will my child think if it's point two

0:47:35.520 --> 0:47:40.880
<v Speaker 1>degree centigrade warmer on a global average based on incredibly

0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:46.240
<v Speaker 1>inaccurate data of measuring global temperature. My child just couldn't

0:47:46.280 --> 0:47:49.080
<v Speaker 1>handle it, right. And plus he'll be like really old,

0:47:49.480 --> 0:47:52.640
<v Speaker 1>like he'll be like a hundred and he'll be very

0:47:52.680 --> 0:47:55.879
<v Speaker 1>warm all the time, right, I mean, you know she's

0:47:55.880 --> 0:47:58.080
<v Speaker 1>got a point there, right. But the high priests and

0:47:58.160 --> 0:48:02.280
<v Speaker 1>priestesses of climate change, they they don't view this really

0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:07.760
<v Speaker 1>as saving the planet. They view this as controlling the planet.

0:48:08.360 --> 0:48:11.239
<v Speaker 1>The Green New Deal is all about the implementation of

0:48:11.280 --> 0:48:14.560
<v Speaker 1>socialism and control. The Green New Deal is not at

0:48:14.600 --> 0:48:17.279
<v Speaker 1>its core for the people that are running it, for

0:48:17.280 --> 0:48:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the people. It's like the Communist Party, right, think about

0:48:20.000 --> 0:48:22.799
<v Speaker 1>the Commnist Party in the Soviet Union. Were there some

0:48:22.840 --> 0:48:26.759
<v Speaker 1>true believers you know, was well, Trotzky was, but that's

0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:29.239
<v Speaker 1>why they put an ice axe in his head, you know,

0:48:29.400 --> 0:48:32.560
<v Speaker 1>lett in him. We're that true believers, yeah, but we're

0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:37.160
<v Speaker 1>most of the polite borrow early on really just people

0:48:37.200 --> 0:48:39.560
<v Speaker 1>that realize that they were in the power loop and

0:48:39.640 --> 0:48:41.120
<v Speaker 1>that they just needed to keep this thing going, to

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:45.000
<v Speaker 1>keep the con going. Yep, that's what the Green New

0:48:45.040 --> 0:48:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Deal is. It's really about control. And people would argue

0:48:48.719 --> 0:48:50.440
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of religions are about control, and that

0:48:50.520 --> 0:48:52.480
<v Speaker 1>that's actually been at the heart of much of a

0:48:52.600 --> 0:48:54.440
<v Speaker 1>religious belief for a very long time. And now we're

0:48:54.480 --> 0:48:57.240
<v Speaker 1>getting into a deeper theological conversation than I had intended.

0:48:58.080 --> 0:49:02.880
<v Speaker 1>But in this case, in this instant, they are emotionalizing

0:49:02.920 --> 0:49:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the topic with religious fervor of climate change hist area,

0:49:06.239 --> 0:49:09.200
<v Speaker 1>people are convinced they shouldn't have babies. People are convinced

0:49:09.800 --> 0:49:11.879
<v Speaker 1>that they should tell ten year olds the world's gonna

0:49:12.000 --> 0:49:15.360
<v Speaker 1>end in ten years or twelve years. And if you

0:49:15.440 --> 0:49:17.279
<v Speaker 1>by the way SNL, you know I rarely give an

0:49:17.360 --> 0:49:21.200
<v Speaker 1>SNL shout out. The Dianne Feinstein clip they did on

0:49:21.360 --> 0:49:23.920
<v Speaker 1>SNL is actually pretty funny, so I would recommend you

0:49:23.960 --> 0:49:25.759
<v Speaker 1>go check it out. It's on YouTube, just type in

0:49:25.760 --> 0:49:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and search for it. But they're terrifying small children. They

0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:34.800
<v Speaker 1>are willing to destroy our economy, but they will be

0:49:34.920 --> 0:49:37.920
<v Speaker 1>in control, and they know that that is ultimately the

0:49:38.000 --> 0:49:41.400
<v Speaker 1>single most important thing them because control is power. Control

0:49:41.520 --> 0:49:43.520
<v Speaker 1>is just a form of power. So if you are

0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:46.719
<v Speaker 1>a power obsessed lib, the best way to get the

0:49:46.800 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 1>society you want that will be full on socialism without

0:49:50.680 --> 0:49:54.160
<v Speaker 1>calling it that. Just get this green new deal in action.

<v Speaker 1>This is a time, my friends, when fundamental rights, civic virtue,

0:51:06.880 --> 0:51:10.800
<v Speaker 1>freedom of the press, the rule of law, truth, facts

0:51:10.920 --> 0:51:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and reason are under assault. Hello, did you miss me?

0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Hillary's back back and as charming as ever. I don't

0:51:24.520 --> 0:51:26.759
<v Speaker 1>know what what it's going to take for Hillary to

0:51:26.800 --> 0:51:29.160
<v Speaker 1>step out of the public eye. Oh she can't. She

0:51:29.239 --> 0:51:32.400
<v Speaker 1>can't help herself. I will say, I'm a little disappointed

0:51:33.200 --> 0:51:35.719
<v Speaker 1>because there was a there was a time, and I

0:51:36.040 --> 0:51:38.880
<v Speaker 1>said it on the show many times, there was a

0:51:39.000 --> 0:51:44.120
<v Speaker 1>time when I really did, I really did believe that

0:51:45.440 --> 0:51:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton was going to run again. And I'm I'm

0:51:48.320 --> 0:51:51.879
<v Speaker 1>I will admit when I'm wrong, folks. Hello, I will

0:51:51.920 --> 0:51:56.279
<v Speaker 1>admit when I'm wrong. And I think that Hillary is

0:51:56.400 --> 0:51:59.520
<v Speaker 1>this time. I think she's probably not running. That's right,

0:52:01.280 --> 0:52:04.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, Maybe she's not running. Fine, I might have

0:52:04.960 --> 0:52:08.560
<v Speaker 1>gotten I might have gotten this one wrong. Um, I

0:52:08.719 --> 0:52:11.480
<v Speaker 1>might have gotten this one wrong. But Hillary is still

0:52:11.480 --> 0:52:13.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be out there. So I don't think that you're

0:52:13.719 --> 0:52:17.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a Hillary free twenty twenty because she's gonna

0:52:17.440 --> 0:52:19.600
<v Speaker 1>she's gonna be a surrogate. She can't help herself. She

0:52:19.640 --> 0:52:22.320
<v Speaker 1>has to be near the near the spotlight in some capacity.

0:52:22.400 --> 0:52:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait wait, I I forgot to get to this.

0:52:26.640 --> 0:52:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Mazie Herono, I think the dumbest person in the Senate, right,

0:52:29.320 --> 0:52:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I give her that. I give her that title. There

0:52:31.680 --> 0:52:35.279
<v Speaker 1>are some others that are very close. It's a tough call,

0:52:35.960 --> 0:52:38.000
<v Speaker 1>but I think Mazie Herono is in fact the dumb

0:52:38.120 --> 0:52:41.520
<v Speaker 1>person in the Senate. She had some thoughts on climate

0:52:41.600 --> 0:52:43.960
<v Speaker 1>change too. Play clip nineteen. Can tell me what you

0:52:44.040 --> 0:52:49.040
<v Speaker 1>were saying about. Were trying to get rid of air

0:52:49.160 --> 0:52:50.879
<v Speaker 1>travel and I said, well, that's gonna make it hard

0:52:50.920 --> 0:52:54.080
<v Speaker 1>for Hawaii. But what with a Green New Deal stands

0:52:54.160 --> 0:52:57.880
<v Speaker 1>for is the a recognition that climate of change is happening,

0:52:58.160 --> 0:53:00.440
<v Speaker 1>not sticking our head in the sand. So it's really

0:53:00.520 --> 0:53:03.839
<v Speaker 1>crazy at Trump and all his minions and his ilk

0:53:04.120 --> 0:53:06.920
<v Speaker 1>who think that global warming and climate change is not

0:53:07.040 --> 0:53:09.160
<v Speaker 1>happening and they'd rather just stick their heads in the sand.

0:53:09.320 --> 0:53:13.560
<v Speaker 1>They offer absolutely zero in terms of what they would propose,

0:53:13.680 --> 0:53:15.520
<v Speaker 1>So all they can do is lock an attack, And

0:53:15.600 --> 0:53:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that is a crazy position because they are

0:53:18.680 --> 0:53:24.000
<v Speaker 1>denying the science behind climate change. Yeah, we mock and

0:53:24.040 --> 0:53:26.239
<v Speaker 1>attack it because it should be mocked, an attack because

0:53:26.280 --> 0:53:28.400
<v Speaker 1>it's idiocy. I just want to note that, you know,

0:53:28.880 --> 0:53:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Senator Horrono, I think that she really, you know, she's

0:53:34.640 --> 0:53:37.320
<v Speaker 1>she really came through here, folks, She really did. Because

0:53:37.480 --> 0:53:39.680
<v Speaker 1>if you recall when the Green New Deal was initially

0:53:39.760 --> 0:53:44.160
<v Speaker 1>came out, Maizie Horono was the one who got a

0:53:44.200 --> 0:53:46.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit of attention for saying, well, if we eliminate

0:53:46.560 --> 0:53:49.080
<v Speaker 1>air travel, that will make things hard for Hawaii. Right

0:53:49.160 --> 0:53:52.200
<v Speaker 1>she said that, And it was one of these you know,

0:53:52.320 --> 0:53:54.560
<v Speaker 1>broken clock right twice a day scenarios where you go,

0:53:54.680 --> 0:53:59.680
<v Speaker 1>whoa look at Mazie Heron no smarter than o'cazio Cortez. Right,

0:53:59.760 --> 0:54:03.960
<v Speaker 1>she she understands something that apparently a leading luminary of

0:54:04.040 --> 0:54:08.160
<v Speaker 1>sorts on the left does not understand. And yeah, but

0:54:08.600 --> 0:54:13.400
<v Speaker 1>then but then she decided to walk it back a

0:54:13.520 --> 0:54:19.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Then she decided sure enough that she had

0:54:19.080 --> 0:54:21.239
<v Speaker 1>given a little help to the Republicans by being saying

0:54:21.280 --> 0:54:23.879
<v Speaker 1>for a moment by accident, nonetheless, and she just want

0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:26.760
<v Speaker 1>us to know, oh no, no, no, sen Senator heronos

0:54:26.800 --> 0:54:30.239
<v Speaker 1>in fact a straight up idiot, and she regrets that

0:54:30.440 --> 0:54:34.680
<v Speaker 1>moment where she said something accidentally that was insightful or intelligent,

0:54:34.920 --> 0:54:37.200
<v Speaker 1>And she would like the left and the Democrats to

0:54:37.320 --> 0:54:40.680
<v Speaker 1>know that she is still a full a full law

0:54:40.719 --> 0:54:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and imbecile and does not have anything to add to

0:54:43.040 --> 0:54:45.960
<v Speaker 1>this discussion worthwhile at all. Opposing the Green New Deal

0:54:46.080 --> 0:54:49.600
<v Speaker 1>is not crazy. What's crazy is is, or rather, the

0:54:49.719 --> 0:54:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Green New Deal is not crazy, Opposing it is so

0:54:53.000 --> 0:54:55.600
<v Speaker 1>so there's so there's that speaking of one thing, you know,

0:54:56.080 --> 0:54:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I will miss this back to the Hillary thing for

0:54:58.440 --> 0:55:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a moment that we will have the Trumpster going full

0:55:03.080 --> 0:55:06.439
<v Speaker 1>on mockery of Hillary, which which would have been great,

0:55:06.920 --> 0:55:10.880
<v Speaker 1>but at least we will have the Trumpster mocking Elizabeth Warren,

0:55:11.040 --> 0:55:15.080
<v Speaker 1>who's so very very richly deserves it. Play. This was

0:55:15.200 --> 0:55:19.759
<v Speaker 1>him at Seapac Play twenty. I should have saved the

0:55:19.840 --> 0:55:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Polka hunt this thing for another year because I've destroyed

0:55:24.640 --> 0:55:27.000
<v Speaker 1>her political career and now I won't get a chance

0:55:27.120 --> 0:55:28.800
<v Speaker 1>to run against her, and I would have loved it.

0:55:29.560 --> 0:55:33.399
<v Speaker 1>We gotta you know, I don't want to knock out

0:55:33.480 --> 0:55:35.400
<v Speaker 1>all of the good stuff and end up with somebody

0:55:35.480 --> 0:55:40.320
<v Speaker 1>that's actually got talent. That would be terr Yeah. I

0:55:40.360 --> 0:55:42.440
<v Speaker 1>think you know that the Trumpster's got a point here.

0:55:43.440 --> 0:55:49.000
<v Speaker 1>He is single handedly forced Elizabeth Warren, or brought Elizabeth

0:55:49.040 --> 0:55:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Warren to just take her political her political chances the

0:55:52.920 --> 0:55:55.239
<v Speaker 1>presidency and essentially liked them on fire just because she

0:55:55.360 --> 0:55:58.160
<v Speaker 1>was so rattled by Trump messing with her. So it's

0:55:58.200 --> 0:56:00.640
<v Speaker 1>one of Trump's magic. It's one of Trump's super ours, folks.

0:56:01.160 --> 0:56:07.720
<v Speaker 1>He really gets under libs skin. Let's talk about rent control?

0:56:07.800 --> 0:56:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Shall we now? Hold on a second? Don't even think

0:56:11.600 --> 0:56:14.279
<v Speaker 1>about skipping past this segment because you're like, oh, buck,

0:56:14.280 --> 0:56:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't have rent control in my area. I don't

0:56:16.200 --> 0:56:20.279
<v Speaker 1>really care. Rent control is becoming a more popular idea.

0:56:20.360 --> 0:56:23.040
<v Speaker 1>It's usually associated with New York City, which is why

0:56:23.120 --> 0:56:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I know quite a bit about it, including from friends

0:56:26.440 --> 0:56:29.680
<v Speaker 1>of mine who have rent control departments. But now we

0:56:29.880 --> 0:56:34.319
<v Speaker 1>have whole states, whole states that are thinking about going

0:56:35.320 --> 0:56:39.920
<v Speaker 1>rent controlled in terms of housing. And this is one

0:56:39.960 --> 0:56:43.960
<v Speaker 1>of these moments where we can really look at what

0:56:44.440 --> 0:56:49.480
<v Speaker 1>progressives are proposing and doing. What government intervention does? You know?

0:56:49.560 --> 0:56:52.520
<v Speaker 1>This is a rubber meets the road moment for why

0:56:52.680 --> 0:56:58.440
<v Speaker 1>conservatives are right and liberals are wrong on an issue

0:56:58.440 --> 0:57:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of economics that really affects me's lives, all right, And

0:57:01.680 --> 0:57:04.040
<v Speaker 1>that's what that This piece by Mark Hamingway is a

0:57:04.080 --> 0:57:07.200
<v Speaker 1>great writer. It's in the Wall Street Journal, Oregon's progressive

0:57:07.280 --> 0:57:11.120
<v Speaker 1>politicians want rent control for all. Is really an interesting

0:57:11.200 --> 0:57:14.479
<v Speaker 1>read because this is the first time. As I mentioned,

0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Oregon is going to be the first state to have

0:57:17.680 --> 0:57:20.160
<v Speaker 1>statewide rent control. Now what that what that means in

0:57:20.240 --> 0:57:23.600
<v Speaker 1>this context is that there can only be a certain

0:57:23.720 --> 0:57:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a certain cap on rent, a certain cap on rent

0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that you can't go above as somebody who is a landlord. Now,

0:57:35.720 --> 0:57:40.880
<v Speaker 1>this is in response to rising prices, so see, and

0:57:41.000 --> 0:57:43.280
<v Speaker 1>this is this is a perfect think about how this

0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:46.480
<v Speaker 1>works in this case and apply to so many other

0:57:46.600 --> 0:57:51.000
<v Speaker 1>things that libs do. Right, they see a problem, they

0:57:51.040 --> 0:57:54.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think about what's caused the problem, and their immediate

0:57:55.000 --> 0:57:59.160
<v Speaker 1>knee jerk reaction is to try and fix the problem

0:57:59.520 --> 0:58:06.680
<v Speaker 1>with government mandates, with government intervention, community organizers, agitators, left

0:58:06.760 --> 0:58:09.440
<v Speaker 1>wing groups, all this stuff. They all start picketing and

0:58:09.520 --> 0:58:14.439
<v Speaker 1>saying it's not fair, we need more housing, it's not fair.

0:58:14.520 --> 0:58:17.240
<v Speaker 1>You know. They do all this stuff instead of saying, well,

0:58:17.240 --> 0:58:22.080
<v Speaker 1>hold on a second, Why does Portland, for example, have

0:58:22.880 --> 0:58:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the highest i'm sorry, the second highest rent increase on

0:58:27.760 --> 0:58:32.200
<v Speaker 1>average in twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen. Why don't have

0:58:32.280 --> 0:58:34.919
<v Speaker 1>the second highest of any city in the country after

0:58:35.040 --> 0:58:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Seattle why is there's such a housing shortage? Right? This

0:58:39.840 --> 0:58:42.840
<v Speaker 1>is basic economics, This is supply and demand. Why does

0:58:42.920 --> 0:58:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Portland have a housing shortage? Folks, that's the real question.

0:58:47.000 --> 0:58:50.960
<v Speaker 1>This is where the economics should kick in. Now, what

0:58:51.080 --> 0:58:53.400
<v Speaker 1>liberals do is they come at this from the other side.

0:58:53.440 --> 0:58:54.840
<v Speaker 1>They come at it and they say, well, hold on,

0:58:54.920 --> 0:58:59.120
<v Speaker 1>a second, housing is too expensive, So let's just make

0:58:59.640 --> 0:59:03.160
<v Speaker 1>howing less expensive. Let's just mandate that you can't charge

0:59:03.200 --> 0:59:06.360
<v Speaker 1>as much. And this is not going to make the

0:59:06.440 --> 0:59:08.760
<v Speaker 1>problem any better. In fact, this is going to make

0:59:08.800 --> 0:59:11.160
<v Speaker 1>it worse, as we all know. But libs never learn

0:59:11.200 --> 0:59:15.960
<v Speaker 1>their lessons. Let's take a step back. Why does the

0:59:16.160 --> 0:59:22.440
<v Speaker 1>state of Oregon have overall, but in particular Portland, but

0:59:22.640 --> 0:59:27.240
<v Speaker 1>why does it have these problems? Well because of policies

0:59:27.440 --> 0:59:31.560
<v Speaker 1>instituted by the government quote smart growth policies back in

0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen seventies that put urban growth boundaries around cities

0:59:36.920 --> 0:59:39.200
<v Speaker 1>in an effort to stop them from having what is

0:59:39.280 --> 0:59:42.840
<v Speaker 1>called urban sprawl. So what this means is that they

0:59:42.920 --> 0:59:45.480
<v Speaker 1>look at a city and these are city planners, which

0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:49.600
<v Speaker 1>by the way, is a form of central planning. They

0:59:49.680 --> 0:59:52.919
<v Speaker 1>have these city planners who come together and they say, well,

0:59:53.400 --> 0:59:56.760
<v Speaker 1>we don't want the city of such and such to

0:59:56.880 --> 0:59:59.600
<v Speaker 1>be any bigger than this, And they draw lines on

0:59:59.680 --> 1:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>the MA and outside of those lines you cannot zone

1:00:04.400 --> 1:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>for certain kinds of development. So, for example, you can't

1:00:08.360 --> 1:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>build outside those lines a tall apartment building that would

1:00:14.000 --> 1:00:18.240
<v Speaker 1>be cost effective. You could only maybe do you farming communes,

1:00:18.360 --> 1:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>or maybe build a single family home or whatever it is.

1:00:21.040 --> 1:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>But they are intruding on the market because they don't

1:00:24.680 --> 1:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>like urban sprawl. This was just a thing in the

1:00:27.560 --> 1:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventies which a lot of people say, isn't that

1:00:30.200 --> 1:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>just natural growth of a city, But they don't like

1:00:33.280 --> 1:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>urban sprawl. So that led to in Portland in particular,

1:00:39.200 --> 1:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>there are being disparities because where you are on the

1:00:41.880 --> 1:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>urban sprawl line could be the difference between, as Hemingway

1:00:46.720 --> 1:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>points out in his piece here, whether your property is

1:00:49.680 --> 1:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>worth one hundred and eighty thousand dollars for an acre

1:00:53.960 --> 1:00:57.479
<v Speaker 1>or across the street. Folks, based on where these lines

1:00:57.520 --> 1:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>were drawn across the street sixteen thousand dollars an acre.

1:01:03.600 --> 1:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>How could the same neighborhood have such a you know,

1:01:05.600 --> 1:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>as one of them a toxic waste up. No one

1:01:08.800 --> 1:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>of them is a place where you can develop land,

1:01:12.560 --> 1:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and another one is a place where you can't because

1:01:16.240 --> 1:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>that a one urban sprawl. So this means that developers,

1:01:21.080 --> 1:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>guess what, developers don't want to come in and deal

1:01:25.520 --> 1:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>with this. There's also a lot of red tape on

1:01:29.560 --> 1:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>top of it, where you have a lot of expense

1:01:32.440 --> 1:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>that's put on top of building apartments at homes in

1:01:36.120 --> 1:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>a city like Oregon that are just bureaucratic expenses. This

1:01:40.320 --> 1:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>is from this piece. Systems and development charges and permit

1:01:43.560 --> 1:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>fees for even a five hundred square foot unit in

1:01:46.880 --> 1:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the city of Eugene, Oregon are close to about twenty

1:01:51.320 --> 1:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars per unit. That's just all red tape expense.

1:01:56.160 --> 1:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>That's just you know, the city inspectors coming in and

1:01:59.640 --> 1:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>got to this and got to do that, and just

1:02:01.680 --> 1:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>people getting involved in this that are extraneous and in

1:02:05.960 --> 1:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>fact just drive up the prices, just make it harder

1:02:09.320 --> 1:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>for people to be able to get housing. Because this

1:02:16.880 --> 1:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>is Affordability is a function of the market. Affordability is

1:02:20.200 --> 1:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>not in fact something that you will achieve with government mandates.

1:02:23.760 --> 1:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>And as I've told you before, and this is I'm

1:02:25.720 --> 1:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>not saying that Portland's going to turn into Venezuela or Eugene, Oregon,

1:02:30.560 --> 1:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>or Tacoma, Washington, or any of these places. I'm not

1:02:33.640 --> 1:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>saying that, but price controls were one of the primary

1:02:37.840 --> 1:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>mechanisms instituted in Venezuela to create the descent into a

1:02:43.760 --> 1:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>failed state, economic catastrophe and all the chaos we see.

1:02:47.840 --> 1:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>The price controls in Venezuela were pretty straightforward. There's not

1:02:51.640 --> 1:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>enough of X product, let's call it. Let's say microwaves.

1:02:56.480 --> 1:02:58.960
<v Speaker 1>There aren't enough microwaves for everybody in Venezuela to go

1:02:59.000 --> 1:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>around right now. So instead of trying to deal with

1:03:04.760 --> 1:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>that through a market incentives what they did, or by

1:03:08.760 --> 1:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>liberalizing their markets or lowering tariffs on the product or

1:03:11.800 --> 1:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever it. Maybe they said, well, now you can only

1:03:14.040 --> 1:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>charge one hundred dollars. Well that's actually pretty expensive microwave,

1:03:16.800 --> 1:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>but whatever, you only charge twenty dollars for your microwave. Well,

1:03:20.400 --> 1:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>guess what, the people making microwaves can't make any money.

1:03:23.680 --> 1:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>See what do they do? They stop importing microwaves. That's

1:03:28.880 --> 1:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>what's happening with housing in a rent controlled environment. They're

1:03:34.440 --> 1:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>driving up the cost with mandates, and then they mandate

1:03:37.080 --> 1:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>that the cost get driven down. This is straight out

1:03:40.080 --> 1:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of the road to serfdom. Baby, this is Hyak coming

1:03:43.640 --> 1:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>at you with all the truth. What does Hyeke say

1:03:47.160 --> 1:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>in the road to serfdom? Every government intrusion is going

1:03:49.480 --> 1:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>to be followed by more government intrusions because they create,

1:03:54.000 --> 1:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>they create dislocations of capital and sound investment. And then

1:03:59.760 --> 1:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the the response to that from the people that did

1:04:01.720 --> 1:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>in the first place is always going to be, oh, well,

1:04:03.360 --> 1:04:07.440
<v Speaker 1>let's fix that with more dislocations of capital and unsound investment.

1:04:08.720 --> 1:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>That's what happens, that's what gets done. And then you

1:04:12.880 --> 1:04:15.959
<v Speaker 1>add on to this the lack of because remember affordable housing, folks,

1:04:16.000 --> 1:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>You're going to hear it a lot from Sanders and o'cazio,

1:04:19.600 --> 1:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Cortez and all these you know, you're a lot of

1:04:21.520 --> 1:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>affordable housing talk, a lot of that going on. You

1:04:25.680 --> 1:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>know what all that's going to mean is the government

1:04:28.160 --> 1:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>either subsidizing developers, which just means the tax dollars are

1:04:33.640 --> 1:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>going to this, or it's going to mean that they

1:04:36.640 --> 1:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>institute rent control policies. Rent control in New York drives

1:04:41.080 --> 1:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>up prices for everybody who is not covered by rent control.

1:04:44.800 --> 1:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>But in New York, the problem is that there are

1:04:46.600 --> 1:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>all these there's a million people in New York City

1:04:49.360 --> 1:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>who are directly affected, meaning they were one of their

1:04:52.480 --> 1:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>family members is in a rent controlled unit of some kind.

1:04:55.960 --> 1:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>And so when you try to change that, if you're

1:04:58.920 --> 1:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>in the New York City New York City Council, guess what,

1:05:02.440 --> 1:05:04.280
<v Speaker 1>you got a million people that'll show up and make

1:05:04.320 --> 1:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>sure you lose. They are single because housing is so

1:05:07.520 --> 1:05:10.360
<v Speaker 1>expensive in New York City. They're single issue voters on

1:05:10.400 --> 1:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>rent control. But that's just chronyism, folks, It's just chronyism.

1:05:14.560 --> 1:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Just people that are getting something that they're not entitled to,

1:05:17.200 --> 1:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>that are defending it through the political process. But that's

1:05:19.440 --> 1:05:22.480
<v Speaker 1>what cronies do. You're going to see more of this,

1:05:22.600 --> 1:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>but see see it's a perfect illustration of how the

1:05:26.520 --> 1:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>left does not understand the root cause of a problem

1:05:30.200 --> 1:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>and in fact just makes it worse. They make the

1:05:34.360 --> 1:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>problems worse. Oh, by the way, as if that wasn't enough,

1:05:39.280 --> 1:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>there are left wing activist groups that make this a

1:05:42.000 --> 1:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>function of who wants who wants to guess. Remember in

1:05:45.440 --> 1:05:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Venezuela they do price controls, and then what's the way

1:05:49.520 --> 1:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>that they they double down on this. Oh, that's right,

1:05:53.680 --> 1:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Social justice, social justice, that's what they are

1:06:01.480 --> 1:06:05.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to accomplish here. Go back to this piece in

1:06:05.880 --> 1:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the Wall Street Journal by Mark Hemingway quote. Rather than

1:06:09.640 --> 1:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>address the lack of housing supply, legislators have seized on

1:06:12.960 --> 1:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>rent control and feisty left wing groups like Portland Tenants

1:06:17.480 --> 1:06:22.479
<v Speaker 1>United dominate grassroots politics in Oregon. Over the past few years.

1:06:22.560 --> 1:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>The group's divisive founder, a professor named Margot Black, has

1:06:26.640 --> 1:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>become a political force. PTU has organized rent strikes and

1:06:31.200 --> 1:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>picket lines against landlord seeking rent increases and push the

1:06:35.360 --> 1:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>legislature to adopt drastic rent controls. Homegrown Oregonians tend to

1:06:40.760 --> 1:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>be white and racist, she said during a twenty seventeen

1:06:43.720 --> 1:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>television interview. I think the faster they can get out

1:06:46.760 --> 1:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>of the landlord business, the better. The PTU imploded last

1:06:50.880 --> 1:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>year in parodic fashion. Miss Black was forced to step

1:06:54.200 --> 1:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>down as a leader of the group for allowing, among

1:06:56.120 --> 1:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>other things, a PTU organizer to sing this land is

1:06:59.800 --> 1:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>our land over the objection of the group's Native American

1:07:03.280 --> 1:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>racial equity tregner. Well, that might seem absurd. Ptu's persistent

1:07:10.000 --> 1:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>agitation is largely responsible for making rent control a dominant

1:07:13.680 --> 1:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>issue in Portland politics. Folks, this is what happens. This

1:07:19.480 --> 1:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>is a microcosm of progressive urban politics at work. What

1:07:26.560 --> 1:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>do they do. They create a problem with government regulation,

1:07:32.280 --> 1:07:36.400
<v Speaker 1>They try to address the problem with government price controls,

1:07:36.960 --> 1:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>more mandates, and then when that doesn't work, they just

1:07:41.080 --> 1:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>say it's the bad, greedy people responding to these government

1:07:44.640 --> 1:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>incentives in rational fashion. They're the problem. And you know

1:07:48.440 --> 1:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>what happens. Then the builders, the developers, they say, I'm

1:07:51.880 --> 1:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>going to spend my money elsewhere. I don't want to

1:07:53.920 --> 1:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>deal with this madhouse in Portland, and housing is even

1:07:59.320 --> 1:08:04.880
<v Speaker 1>more in short supply. It's like the anatomy of the

1:08:05.080 --> 1:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>left on economics here in one and one fell swoop.

1:08:09.480 --> 1:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>So see, it tells you a lot about how the left. Thanks.

1:08:12.160 --> 1:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I hope you enjoyed our little foray into Portland and

1:08:15.760 --> 1:08:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Eugene and other places in Oregon in their real estate situation.

1:08:19.320 --> 1:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back. So I think I have a

1:08:24.360 --> 1:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>long history in civil rights activism. In nineteen eighty eight,

1:08:30.320 --> 1:08:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I was one of the few white public officials who

1:08:33.080 --> 1:08:36.560
<v Speaker 1>supported Jesse Jackson for President of the United States, and

1:08:36.560 --> 1:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>they end up winning. For month, I think if you

1:08:39.840 --> 1:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>look at my record in terms of civil rights and

1:08:45.760 --> 1:08:49.840
<v Speaker 1>other areas, you will find that it is consistently a

1:08:50.160 --> 1:08:54.320
<v Speaker 1>very very strong work. Any legislation we can point to, well,

1:08:54.560 --> 1:09:02.360
<v Speaker 1>legislation that benefits African Americans, but not specifically, you know, legislation.

1:09:04.439 --> 1:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh but the you know, I'm a I'm a civil

1:09:08.120 --> 1:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>rights hero, but I didn't actually pass through the legislation.

1:09:11.600 --> 1:09:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh just you know, I want to talk about social justice.

1:09:14.880 --> 1:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>And you know, Bernie gets away with a lot because

1:09:19.400 --> 1:09:25.720
<v Speaker 1>he comes across as this somewhat likable, kookie professor guy

1:09:25.960 --> 1:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>from New York, even though he's not a professor. He's

1:09:27.880 --> 1:09:30.760
<v Speaker 1>been a guy living off the public, public dime for

1:09:30.840 --> 1:09:34.599
<v Speaker 1>his entire adult life. But he's really not very impressive.

1:09:35.640 --> 1:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I watched and we didn't really pull any audio from

1:09:38.120 --> 1:09:39.800
<v Speaker 1>it because it was all the same. You know, the

1:09:39.920 --> 1:09:42.479
<v Speaker 1>millionaires and the billionaires are gonna pay for this, and

1:09:42.560 --> 1:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna pay for that. And we're gonna have free

1:09:44.880 --> 1:09:48.000
<v Speaker 1>college like every industrialized country in the world. We're gonna

1:09:48.000 --> 1:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>have great healthcare, you're gonna have no more debt. You're

1:09:51.240 --> 1:09:55.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna have unicorns and magic plumb fairies giving you all

1:09:55.439 --> 1:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>the sweet treats you want. I mean, it's the usual thing.

1:10:00.160 --> 1:10:02.040
<v Speaker 1>A lot of Also, how Trump is. I thought it

1:10:02.080 --> 1:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>was interesting he said that Trump is divisive, and Trump

1:10:07.080 --> 1:10:11.360
<v Speaker 1>is the guy who's separating people. Meanwhile, Democrats whole platform

1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>is based on intersectionality, which is just how you assess

1:10:17.000 --> 1:10:21.479
<v Speaker 1>and how you rank and handle different groups that oppress

1:10:21.600 --> 1:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>each other. I mean, that is what intersectionality is. But

1:10:25.280 --> 1:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Democrats accused us of, or rather Trump of being the

1:10:30.280 --> 1:10:34.439
<v Speaker 1>divisive one. I think that's kind of rich. But you know,

1:10:34.520 --> 1:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders, I think right now, if you had to

1:10:36.800 --> 1:10:39.479
<v Speaker 1>say who's going to be the nominee, a lot of

1:10:39.520 --> 1:10:41.519
<v Speaker 1>people would put their money on Sanders. A lot of

1:10:41.560 --> 1:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>people would say that Sanders is going to come through

1:10:43.160 --> 1:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>this Democratic which is already what it is that twelve

1:10:47.120 --> 1:10:49.639
<v Speaker 1>candidates already, I think. I mean, it's crazy how many

1:10:49.680 --> 1:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>candidates there are the Democrat Party right now. It's just crazy.

1:10:52.960 --> 1:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>A lot of them are just complete, you know nothing

1:10:56.320 --> 1:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>burger candidates as well. I saw this guy today, John

1:11:01.600 --> 1:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Hickenlooper from Colorado. I would say, I haven't really have really,

1:11:07.920 --> 1:11:10.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, heard of this guy much before, and I

1:11:10.600 --> 1:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>was like, where have I heard about him? The biggest

1:11:13.000 --> 1:11:14.680
<v Speaker 1>knock on him, from what I understand, is that he's

1:11:14.720 --> 1:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>not a total communist and can be somewhat reasonable, and

1:11:18.120 --> 1:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>everyone's like, whoa, you can't win a Democratic primary if

1:11:21.040 --> 1:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be in any way reasonable or normal. But

1:11:24.360 --> 1:11:26.559
<v Speaker 1>then I realized that the most famous thing about him

1:11:26.640 --> 1:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>is that he likes to pull this this trick where

1:11:29.439 --> 1:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>he'll drink water to prove that something is clean. He

1:11:32.920 --> 1:11:37.479
<v Speaker 1>drank he drank fracking fluid back in twenty thirteen to

1:11:37.600 --> 1:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>show that it was safer than the critics were saying.

1:11:40.160 --> 1:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>But he also after a major environmental disaster on the

1:11:44.479 --> 1:11:49.599
<v Speaker 1>Animous River, he drank a bottle of water from the river.

1:11:50.080 --> 1:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>But turns out he put a water purification tablet in

1:11:53.040 --> 1:11:56.599
<v Speaker 1>it beforehand and waited thirty minutes for that to take effects.

1:11:56.760 --> 1:12:00.519
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know about that one, but I don't

1:12:00.520 --> 1:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>know if we can give you the give you a

1:12:02.080 --> 1:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>pass on that. And then of course he got the

1:12:05.200 --> 1:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>other one, the other great hope of the Democrats, Joe Biden.

1:12:08.479 --> 1:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden, and Trump's already got his numbers somewhat where.

1:12:10.800 --> 1:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>But Joe Biden's a total mediocrity, all right. Nothing about

1:12:14.840 --> 1:12:19.560
<v Speaker 1>him is impressive, nothing about him is inspiring. He's just

1:12:19.800 --> 1:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a classic Democrat machine politician. And there's just he's just

1:12:25.400 --> 1:12:28.519
<v Speaker 1>got nothing. I mean, you know, and without the media

1:12:28.640 --> 1:12:31.960
<v Speaker 1>running cover for all this stupid comments. You know, I

1:12:32.240 --> 1:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think that you're gonna have the same ability for

1:12:35.040 --> 1:12:37.439
<v Speaker 1>him to just pretend like, oh, that's just Joeb and Joe.

1:12:37.800 --> 1:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>But I see today the New York Post is saying

1:12:40.160 --> 1:12:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that you know who might run if Biden doesn't run.

1:12:45.280 --> 1:12:50.439
<v Speaker 1>The governor of New York himself, Quomo, who many people

1:12:50.640 --> 1:12:54.839
<v Speaker 1>say does not have three entire brain cells to rub together.

1:12:55.439 --> 1:12:58.880
<v Speaker 1>But perhaps he can borrow a half a brain cell

1:12:59.080 --> 1:13:03.559
<v Speaker 1>from Biden and maybe a brain cell or two from

1:13:03.600 --> 1:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Ocasio QUOTEZ and make a full I don't know how

1:13:07.720 --> 1:13:10.040
<v Speaker 1>big the number is, but brain cells enough to run

1:13:10.120 --> 1:13:16.519
<v Speaker 1>for Democrat. That's right, Cuomo might run. Look, there are

1:13:16.560 --> 1:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>some great benefits to being a senior, right You get

1:13:19.280 --> 1:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>some discounts on things. You also have the option to

1:13:22.600 --> 1:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>join an organization of like minded seniors who are going

1:13:26.439 --> 1:13:29.000
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that the country is moving in the

1:13:29.080 --> 1:13:31.680
<v Speaker 1>right direction. You might have heard of the AARP, But

1:13:31.760 --> 1:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>guess what, the AARP does not achieve that for you.

1:13:35.520 --> 1:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>The AARP is actually very left wing. That's why I

1:13:39.200 --> 1:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>recommend AMAC for seniors. All Right, So if you're a

1:13:41.840 --> 1:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>senior listening to this, Trust me, you need to go

<v Speaker 1>check out AMAC. It was founded by an Air Force veteran,

1:13:47.640 --> 1:13:51.840

1:13:54.600 --> 1:13:57.439
<v Speaker 1>But also you're going to be supporting conservative policies like

1:13:57.520 --> 1:14:00.800

1:14:00.840 --> 1:14:04.400

1:14:24.400 --> 1:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>a Cuban puppet. That's what he is. We seek a

1:14:29.280 --> 1:14:37.120
<v Speaker 1>peaceful transition of power, but all options are open. If

1:14:37.160 --> 1:14:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you choose this path, you will find no safe harbor,

1:14:42.920 --> 1:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>no easy exit, and no way out. You will lose

1:14:47.640 --> 1:14:54.400
<v Speaker 1>everything that was President Trump at CEPAC over the weekend

1:14:54.439 --> 1:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about what's going on in Venezuela. We have a

1:14:58.520 --> 1:15:01.519
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine, an ex burnt on Latin America, joining

1:15:01.600 --> 1:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>us now from the Heritage Foundation. Anna Rosa Quintana is

1:15:06.040 --> 1:15:07.680
<v Speaker 1>with us, so you can tell us what's going on

1:15:07.920 --> 1:15:10.719
<v Speaker 1>right now with Venezuela and also Cuba, which has gotten

1:15:10.800 --> 1:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>into the mix. And thanks so much for calling in. Hey,

1:15:13.920 --> 1:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>thanks for having me. Okay, so let's just start with

1:15:17.040 --> 1:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Trump is now tightening the Cuba embargo because Cuba's helping Venezuela.

1:15:22.840 --> 1:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Can you walk us through the Venezuela Cuba situation here?

1:15:26.320 --> 1:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the best way of understanding the relationship between

1:15:29.320 --> 1:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>both countries is Venezuela has exported to Cuba and has

1:15:33.240 --> 1:15:36.639
<v Speaker 1>kept up the Cuban government alive through oil and through

1:15:36.840 --> 1:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>petro dollars and Cuba and exchange has provided Venezuela with

1:15:41.200 --> 1:15:43.840
<v Speaker 1>a police state, which is why you have not seen

1:15:43.960 --> 1:15:47.519
<v Speaker 1>the level of defections that should be normally be seen

1:15:47.680 --> 1:15:50.800
<v Speaker 1>in a country with such a dire humanitarian crisis. I mean,

1:15:50.880 --> 1:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>because the police state and the I mean just the

1:15:54.000 --> 1:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>counterintelligence system that exists withinside of Venezuela. It's the same

1:15:57.479 --> 1:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>reason why the Castro regime has survived for sixty years. Well,

1:16:00.960 --> 1:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>they were and they were trained by the KGB, and

1:16:03.280 --> 1:16:05.160
<v Speaker 1>so that's so everyone should keep in mind that the

1:16:05.200 --> 1:16:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Soviet KGB trained the Castro regime secret intelligence, which has

1:16:09.240 --> 1:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>now trained Venezuela's secret intelligence. So there's that exactly exactly,

1:16:13.439 --> 1:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and Maduro is a product of that. I mean, Maduro

1:16:16.120 --> 1:16:19.840
<v Speaker 1>is not somebody who is a savvy politician or who

1:16:20.000 --> 1:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>knows the US political I mean not at all. Maduro

1:16:22.560 --> 1:16:24.439
<v Speaker 1>is a thug, and he's a thug who is a

1:16:24.520 --> 1:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Soviet trained thug. I mean, he's a diehard Castro apologist.

1:16:28.439 --> 1:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>He's obsessed with the Cuban government, obsessed with the Castro Revolution,

1:16:32.479 --> 1:16:35.680
<v Speaker 1>just like how Hugo Chavez was. So, you know, and

1:16:36.040 --> 1:16:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I keep seeing this recurring criticism on the left and

1:16:42.080 --> 1:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>from some pretty big voices, including Representative Ilhan Omar, who's

1:16:47.120 --> 1:16:49.240
<v Speaker 1>in trouble for some other stuff she's been saying recently,

1:16:49.560 --> 1:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>But you see it from her. You see it a

1:16:51.000 --> 1:16:54.920
<v Speaker 1>lot from Glenn Greenwald, who on some issues I think

1:16:55.040 --> 1:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>is very sound. That is thinking on this one I

1:16:56.760 --> 1:16:59.639
<v Speaker 1>think is pretty far off. I listened to a podcast

1:16:59.720 --> 1:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>with Army SKay Hill. You know, you have some of

1:17:02.400 --> 1:17:06.599
<v Speaker 1>these very well known leftist American thinkers and writers who

1:17:06.840 --> 1:17:10.160
<v Speaker 1>keep saying that we are engaged in a coup in

1:17:10.320 --> 1:17:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Venezuela and that we're making the same mistake that we've

1:17:13.680 --> 1:17:18.519
<v Speaker 1>made for decades in intervening in Venezuela. I wanted your

1:17:18.680 --> 1:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>take on that whole line of thinking. Listen, the only

1:17:23.280 --> 1:17:26.040
<v Speaker 1>intervention that's happening in Venezuela, and that's been happening for

1:17:26.080 --> 1:17:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the last twenty years, is the Cuban, Russian, Chinese intervention.

1:17:29.720 --> 1:17:32.920
<v Speaker 1>And they all have various different objectives. Right, Cuba has

1:17:33.000 --> 1:17:36.320
<v Speaker 1>only survived. The cash regime has only survived because they've

1:17:36.640 --> 1:17:39.240
<v Speaker 1>they've been like leeches, right, they've like sucked their teeth

1:17:39.320 --> 1:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>into a foreign country that's had more resources than they've had.

1:17:43.800 --> 1:17:46.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, before it was a Soviet Union and then

1:17:46.360 --> 1:17:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and now it's Venezuela, and it's you know, and now

1:17:49.360 --> 1:17:51.960
<v Speaker 1>you look at Russia. Russia has political objectives inside of

1:17:52.000 --> 1:17:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Venezuela because you know, Venezuela is a country that's in

1:17:54.439 --> 1:17:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the Western Hemisphere, and now Russia can be a powerbroker

1:17:57.640 --> 1:17:59.880
<v Speaker 1>in the future of Venezuela, a country that the United

1:18:00.040 --> 1:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>States has deep and strategic interest in. And China. Again,

1:18:03.840 --> 1:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>China's economic interest in expanding their presence in the Western

1:18:07.360 --> 1:18:11.599
<v Speaker 1>Hemisphere is very well known. There's no there is zero

1:18:12.200 --> 1:18:15.200
<v Speaker 1>in terms of interventionism. In fact, it's the opposite. The

1:18:15.320 --> 1:18:18.160
<v Speaker 1>United States and over fifty countries this is what I

1:18:18.240 --> 1:18:21.040
<v Speaker 1>think is so critical. Here's over fifty countries and it's

1:18:21.080 --> 1:18:23.519
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the Western hemisphere. This is something that

1:18:23.680 --> 1:18:26.879
<v Speaker 1>is unprecedented. You've never seen the majority of Latin America

1:18:27.000 --> 1:18:30.360
<v Speaker 1>unite behind anything. They've never united against the cast regime.

1:18:30.520 --> 1:18:33.120
<v Speaker 1>And the Castra regime has been around since nineteen fifty nine.

1:18:33.439 --> 1:18:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Yet the majority of the Western hemisphere has said enough

1:18:35.680 --> 1:18:39.040
<v Speaker 1>is enough. The Madure regime as a dictatorship. These guys

1:18:39.080 --> 1:18:41.240
<v Speaker 1>are drug traffickers, these guys are thugs. We need to

1:18:41.280 --> 1:18:43.360
<v Speaker 1>get rid of them. Now, what do you say to

1:18:43.439 --> 1:18:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the criticism from the same some of the same folks.

1:18:46.640 --> 1:18:48.639
<v Speaker 1>But you're doing such a good job with the other criticism.

1:18:48.680 --> 1:18:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to throw this at you too, that well,

1:18:51.800 --> 1:18:55.400
<v Speaker 1>why Maduro? Why Maduro? When we're friends with the Saudis,

1:18:55.560 --> 1:18:58.240
<v Speaker 1>We're friends with the Chinese, you know, you know, we

1:18:58.360 --> 1:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>do business with some pretty bad people around the world.

1:19:00.360 --> 1:19:01.960
<v Speaker 1>To the left is saying, I'm like, I think it's

1:19:01.960 --> 1:19:03.800
<v Speaker 1>a smoke screen, But I want to know what way,

1:19:03.960 --> 1:19:06.160
<v Speaker 1>what do you think? Look, I think one of the

1:19:06.280 --> 1:19:08.800
<v Speaker 1>United States does not have a cookie cutter foreign policy, right,

1:19:08.840 --> 1:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's times where the United States has to

1:19:11.720 --> 1:19:15.880
<v Speaker 1>put aside principles in terms of greater national security interest. Right,

1:19:15.960 --> 1:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>But when it comes to Venezuela, you have to look

1:19:18.280 --> 1:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>at it from the perspective of one Venezuela. The Venezuelan

1:19:21.120 --> 1:19:24.160
<v Speaker 1>government and high ranking officials within the Venezuelan government are

1:19:24.320 --> 1:19:26.680
<v Speaker 1>well known drug traffickers. I mean, and now I'm not

1:19:26.800 --> 1:19:30.439
<v Speaker 1>talking about like small amounts like these guys are deeply

1:19:30.520 --> 1:19:33.519
<v Speaker 1>involved with Mexican drug cartels. These guys are deeply involved

1:19:33.560 --> 1:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>with Columbia's terrorist organizations. And we have to remember Venezuela

1:19:37.000 --> 1:19:40.479
<v Speaker 1>and Colombia share a very long border. Colombia is the

1:19:40.600 --> 1:19:43.479
<v Speaker 1>United States is largest foreign aid recipient. So when we

1:19:43.600 --> 1:19:45.479
<v Speaker 1>look in, Columbia is also the country that is the

1:19:45.600 --> 1:19:48.880
<v Speaker 1>largest cocaine producing country in the entire world. So when

1:19:48.920 --> 1:19:51.320
<v Speaker 1>we start thinking about, all right, the United States still

1:19:51.360 --> 1:19:55.120
<v Speaker 1>has a massive cocaine problem. Right. We have an opioid crisis,

1:19:55.200 --> 1:19:57.639
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure, but we still have a huge cocaine problem.

1:19:57.760 --> 1:20:00.599
<v Speaker 1>So we look at the Venezuelan government's criminality, and there's

1:20:00.640 --> 1:20:04.479
<v Speaker 1>a US body count that's directly associated with that. That's one. Two.

1:20:04.760 --> 1:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>You look at the refugee exodus, You've had over three

1:20:07.800 --> 1:20:11.439
<v Speaker 1>million Venezuelans who've left the country. If that number continues,

1:20:11.479 --> 1:20:14.960
<v Speaker 1>there's thirty two million Venezuela, thirty two million Venezuelans left

1:20:15.040 --> 1:20:18.599
<v Speaker 1>behind in the country. If the political crisis, the economic crisis,

1:20:18.640 --> 1:20:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the humanitarian crisis, if that continues, that is going to

1:20:22.120 --> 1:20:25.960
<v Speaker 1>destabilize the rest of its neighboring countries. Colombia has already

1:20:26.000 --> 1:20:30.400
<v Speaker 1>received nearly two million Venezuelans who have permanently stayed inside

1:20:30.439 --> 1:20:33.800
<v Speaker 1>of that country. Over fifty thousand leave the country every

1:20:33.840 --> 1:20:37.120
<v Speaker 1>single day and are transiting through Ecuador, through Peru, through

1:20:37.160 --> 1:20:39.599
<v Speaker 1>all of these other countries. Imagine if the United States,

1:20:39.640 --> 1:20:43.320
<v Speaker 1>imagine if Mexico, for example, is having a humanitarian crisis,

1:20:43.400 --> 1:20:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and we have one point five million or two million

1:20:45.920 --> 1:20:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Venezus Mexicans that enter our country and permanently resettle here

1:20:49.680 --> 1:20:51.559
<v Speaker 1>within a time span of like four or five years,

1:20:52.080 --> 1:20:56.840
<v Speaker 1>that'll completely distable. Exactly. It is our problem is it's

1:20:56.840 --> 1:20:59.479
<v Speaker 1>our problem. It's a huge problem, right, And that's the thing.

1:20:59.560 --> 1:21:01.519
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, there's just so many other factors here,

1:21:01.520 --> 1:21:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's just like, guys, what's happening in Venezuela directly

1:21:04.080 --> 1:21:09.080
<v Speaker 1>impacts US national security interests. What is keeping Maduro from

1:21:09.160 --> 1:21:12.920
<v Speaker 1>toppling at this point. And you know, without getting too

1:21:12.960 --> 1:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>far into this from the American side, what should the US,

1:21:16.160 --> 1:21:19.320
<v Speaker 1>what should the Trump administration were doing? Look, so, the

1:21:19.479 --> 1:21:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Venezuelans have been really great about keeping this police state

1:21:22.760 --> 1:21:26.120
<v Speaker 1>in place, right, and Maduro has over the last twenty years,

1:21:26.120 --> 1:21:28.920
<v Speaker 1>they've been able to consolidate the levers of power under

1:21:28.960 --> 1:21:32.439
<v Speaker 1>their control. They control the food distribution systems, they control

1:21:32.479 --> 1:21:36.479
<v Speaker 1>the electoral authorities, they control just everything. And also they

1:21:36.560 --> 1:21:41.040
<v Speaker 1>have such high ranking the high ranking government officials. I mean,

1:21:41.160 --> 1:21:43.960
<v Speaker 1>they've just benefited so greatly and are just so deeply

1:21:44.160 --> 1:21:48.640
<v Speaker 1>entrenched from corruption, whether it's drug trafficking, food trafficking, you know,

1:21:48.800 --> 1:21:51.960
<v Speaker 1>making money off of embezzling from the oil industry. I mean,

1:21:52.080 --> 1:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>it's just the corruption has just been rampant, right. So

1:21:54.880 --> 1:21:57.719
<v Speaker 1>it's obviously clear why these guys have not defected because

1:21:58.120 --> 1:22:00.320
<v Speaker 1>they really have no other options in life. It's either

1:22:00.360 --> 1:22:03.240
<v Speaker 1>being a corrupt government official or just you know, spending

1:22:03.280 --> 1:22:05.280
<v Speaker 1>the rest of their days in either Russia or Havanah.

1:22:05.800 --> 1:22:07.720
<v Speaker 1>And so that's why we haven't seen those really high

1:22:07.800 --> 1:22:10.679
<v Speaker 1>level defections. But I mean, there's been nearly six hundred

1:22:10.720 --> 1:22:13.880
<v Speaker 1>soldiers who have defected putting their families at risk. I

1:22:13.960 --> 1:22:17.360
<v Speaker 1>think that's that's pretty significant, the fact that six hundred

1:22:17.400 --> 1:22:20.400
<v Speaker 1>soldiers have risked the lives of their families because now

1:22:20.479 --> 1:22:23.200
<v Speaker 1>what happens is now these guys have crossed over into Columbia.

1:22:23.680 --> 1:22:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Their families can be arrested, they can be imprisoned, they

1:22:26.240 --> 1:22:29.080
<v Speaker 1>can be tortured, and that's probably what's happening to them

1:22:29.160 --> 1:22:31.120
<v Speaker 1>right now. And that's why we haven't seen the high

1:22:31.160 --> 1:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>level of defections that you know, that should be that

1:22:34.520 --> 1:22:38.240
<v Speaker 1>people are, you know, thinking that should be seen. But

1:22:38.360 --> 1:22:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the momentum and the time is not on maduro side.

1:22:42.240 --> 1:22:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean where Venezuela is right now in comparison to

1:22:44.640 --> 1:22:47.000
<v Speaker 1>where it was three four months ago, I mean there's

1:22:47.000 --> 1:22:50.760
<v Speaker 1>a strong momentum against Maduro and really time is not

1:22:50.960 --> 1:22:52.920
<v Speaker 1>on his side. And in terms of what the US

1:22:52.960 --> 1:22:54.920
<v Speaker 1>should be doing, I think it's not just what the

1:22:55.000 --> 1:22:57.160
<v Speaker 1>US should be doing, it's what the international community out

1:22:57.200 --> 1:22:59.200
<v Speaker 1>of be doing. You have the over fifty countries that

1:22:59.320 --> 1:23:03.439
<v Speaker 1>recognize Guido. These guys ought to be making sure that

1:23:03.600 --> 1:23:07.400
<v Speaker 1>only Guido has access to Venezuela's reserves abroad, if he

1:23:07.560 --> 1:23:09.759
<v Speaker 1>is the interim president, if he is a legal legitimate

1:23:09.800 --> 1:23:12.519
<v Speaker 1>President Maduro should not be able to access one single

1:23:12.560 --> 1:23:16.639
<v Speaker 1>penny of Venezuelan state reserves. That's one two. I think

1:23:16.760 --> 1:23:21.080
<v Speaker 1>every country and in that entire coalition ought to be

1:23:21.240 --> 1:23:25.240
<v Speaker 1>ready to name, to publicly shame all of the Venezuelan Maduros,

1:23:25.960 --> 1:23:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the Madurou regimes, families, their affiliates, their enablers within their

1:23:30.120 --> 1:23:32.439
<v Speaker 1>respective countries, because there will be a day where they

1:23:32.760 --> 1:23:36.320
<v Speaker 1>should no longer be allowed to enjoy living luxuriously in Spain.

1:23:36.640 --> 1:23:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Also their illicit money. I know other governments should be

1:23:40.120 --> 1:23:42.720
<v Speaker 1>working to seize this money as well. The US has

1:23:42.800 --> 1:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>sanctioned nearly two hundred some odd Venezuelan government officials. I mean,

1:23:46.840 --> 1:23:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump has just gone sanctioning crazy, like he's just been

1:23:49.960 --> 1:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>such a rock star at this. He's really hit these

1:23:52.040 --> 1:23:53.640
<v Speaker 1>guys where it hurts, and they only care about their

1:23:53.680 --> 1:23:56.439
<v Speaker 1>pocket bucks. Other countries ought to be reciprocating and doing

1:23:56.479 --> 1:24:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the same. All right, Anakinzana from Heritage, great stuff. Thank

<v Speaker 1>can trust to do that work for you. That's Global

1:24:30.280 --> 1:24:34.479
<v Speaker 1>Verification Network. Global Verification Network is the only dual certified

1:24:34.520 --> 1:24:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and veteran owned background investigation and vetting company. They don't

1:24:38.240 --> 1:24:41.680
<v Speaker 1>ever offshore their information. They don't ever offshore the work

1:24:41.720 --> 1:24:44.240
<v Speaker 1>they're doing for you or send it overseas a lot

1:24:44.320 --> 1:24:46.720
<v Speaker 1>of the other people in this space do. If you

1:24:46.800 --> 1:24:49.479
<v Speaker 1>want a company based in America, made in America, and

1:24:49.640 --> 1:24:52.040

1:25:00.360 --> 1:25:04.800
<v Speaker 1>again that's eight seven seven six nine five one one

1:25:05.120 --> 1:25:10.439
<v Speaker 1>seven nine. Or go to MYGVN dot com again, that's

1:25:10.680 --> 1:25:17.800
<v Speaker 1>MYGVN dot com. Grifting. This idea of grifting, what is it?

1:25:17.880 --> 1:25:19.439
<v Speaker 1>What does it mean? Why is it? Why is it

1:25:19.600 --> 1:25:22.600
<v Speaker 1>coming up so often these days? Well, it's basically this

1:25:22.760 --> 1:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>idea of exploiting global people to sell something to raise

1:25:25.840 --> 1:25:28.880
<v Speaker 1>your brand awareness. And I think it's coming up because, well,

1:25:29.000 --> 1:25:31.880
<v Speaker 1>look brand Seapack has always been a representation of where

1:25:31.880 --> 1:25:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the Republican Party is, where it's going, and I'm not

1:25:34.760 --> 1:25:37.519
<v Speaker 1>sure it was ever at this place for intellectual discourse

1:25:37.560 --> 1:25:40.320
<v Speaker 1>of some people will say, but it has in recent

1:25:40.439 --> 1:25:43.679
<v Speaker 1>years become more like Trump. It's a celebration of Trump.

1:25:43.840 --> 1:25:45.880
<v Speaker 1>And so you see a lot of grifters, people throwing

1:25:45.960 --> 1:25:49.040
<v Speaker 1>red meat rhetoric out at crowds to raise their brand.

1:25:49.160 --> 1:25:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Guys like Charlie Kirk, Diamond and Silk Michelle Malkin. Those

1:25:53.120 --> 1:25:55.200
<v Speaker 1>are the people there, and they are selling books off

1:25:55.280 --> 1:25:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in at Seapack. They're trying to get subscriptions to their organizations,

1:25:59.360 --> 1:26:03.439
<v Speaker 1>and so you know, it's no longer any pretense of

1:26:03.520 --> 1:26:07.880
<v Speaker 1>discussing intellectual philosophy about conservative movements. It's now about really

1:26:08.000 --> 1:26:11.160
<v Speaker 1>raising a brand, owning the libs and selling your books

1:26:11.200 --> 1:26:14.519
<v Speaker 1>to these people. Hey, guys like Dan Bondino, I mean

1:26:14.840 --> 1:26:19.559
<v Speaker 1>that is absolute bullcrap, but of course it's it's CNN

1:26:19.720 --> 1:26:26.599
<v Speaker 1>talking about Sepack. It is absolute garbage. Now, are there

1:26:26.760 --> 1:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>some red meat fire up the base speeches that happened

1:26:30.080 --> 1:26:31.800
<v Speaker 1>in Seapack on the main stage. Of course there are,

1:26:31.880 --> 1:26:36.640
<v Speaker 1>but there should be. There are very few events that

1:26:36.760 --> 1:26:39.680
<v Speaker 1>occur in the United States where you show up and

1:26:39.840 --> 1:26:45.160
<v Speaker 1>conservative media is well represented, never mind the dominant force.

1:26:46.560 --> 1:26:48.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know, this was the first time I had

1:26:48.439 --> 1:26:52.639
<v Speaker 1>participated in Spack as a speaker. It's the first time

1:26:52.640 --> 1:26:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd really ever been to Seapack in its modern narration.

1:26:55.040 --> 1:26:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I haven't been in ten years. I just popped into

1:26:57.640 --> 1:27:01.880
<v Speaker 1>hear Rush Limbaugh speak back in two thousand and seven.

1:27:03.720 --> 1:27:08.360
<v Speaker 1>But this idea that there was no intellectual discourse at seatback.

1:27:08.400 --> 1:27:10.760
<v Speaker 1>And first of all, whether you agree with with me

1:27:10.960 --> 1:27:13.320
<v Speaker 1>or you agree with Mark Tison on our Syria exchange,

1:27:14.120 --> 1:27:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I represent the get out of Syria point of view

1:27:17.240 --> 1:27:21.120
<v Speaker 1>with as much background and knowledge as as anybody on

1:27:21.280 --> 1:27:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that issue. Not to sound a little bit pompous, but

1:27:24.040 --> 1:27:26.280
<v Speaker 1>it's true, at least in the media. In the media,

1:27:26.280 --> 1:27:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not there's a difference between people who are working

1:27:28.400 --> 1:27:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the issue in the government side still but from the

1:27:30.800 --> 1:27:33.720
<v Speaker 1>media perspective. And Mark Tison represents the neocon point of

1:27:33.760 --> 1:27:37.160
<v Speaker 1>view as well as anybody. And we really got into it,

1:27:37.400 --> 1:27:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know he is I disagree with them, but

1:27:40.360 --> 1:27:43.680
<v Speaker 1>he's very well read and he's he's eloquent from his

1:27:43.840 --> 1:27:48.599
<v Speaker 1>point of view and is certainly not lacking in knowledge

1:27:48.640 --> 1:27:51.120
<v Speaker 1>on the subject matter. Neither am I. And yes, that

1:27:51.280 --> 1:27:53.439
<v Speaker 1>was just one, but I also did a breakout panel

1:27:54.040 --> 1:27:57.640
<v Speaker 1>with Bill Gertz of the Free Beacon and a congressman

1:27:58.640 --> 1:28:03.120
<v Speaker 1>from actually from four Wayne. The congressman's from four Wayne, Indiana.

1:28:03.200 --> 1:28:05.599
<v Speaker 1>WHOA WHOA in the House? That's right. If you're listening

1:28:05.600 --> 1:28:08.439
<v Speaker 1>on WHOA Whoa better come to talk tank who WO listeners.

1:28:08.640 --> 1:28:10.800
<v Speaker 1>It's in April, middle of April. Check it out. Go

1:28:10.880 --> 1:28:14.719
<v Speaker 1>to your who WOA website. Tommy larn and Buck Sexton,

1:28:14.920 --> 1:28:16.719
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna bring down the house. It's gonna be amazing.

1:28:17.960 --> 1:28:20.560
<v Speaker 1>But that discussion that I had with them in this

1:28:20.760 --> 1:28:24.000
<v Speaker 1>in the side panel, where were there about one hundred

1:28:24.080 --> 1:28:26.080
<v Speaker 1>people or so, maybe seventy five people in the room,

1:28:26.520 --> 1:28:30.200
<v Speaker 1>we really got in depth on cyber war and critical

1:28:30.240 --> 1:28:32.920
<v Speaker 1>infrastructure and these are people that understand the threat of

1:28:33.080 --> 1:28:35.639
<v Speaker 1>cyber espionage. And I mean it was a very high

1:28:35.720 --> 1:28:40.640
<v Speaker 1>level discussion. Gordon Chang did a speech that was not

1:28:40.800 --> 1:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>even standing room only. People were sitting on the floor

1:28:43.120 --> 1:28:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and standing to hear about how we're doing with China trade.

1:28:47.400 --> 1:28:49.879
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, so so this this idea that Seapack

1:28:49.960 --> 1:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just all buffoons and owned the Libs that you know,

1:28:53.800 --> 1:28:57.840
<v Speaker 1>this is the caricature, But really Seepack also fills this

1:28:58.040 --> 1:29:02.640
<v Speaker 1>very interesting position in our media culture because for a

1:29:02.760 --> 1:29:06.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of DC journos, it's almost like a trip to

1:29:06.920 --> 1:29:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the zoo to go to Sepack. They see all these

1:29:10.120 --> 1:29:15.240
<v Speaker 1>different people that are their conservative counterparts, and they don't

1:29:15.320 --> 1:29:18.360
<v Speaker 1>socially interact with them very much. They don't work at

1:29:18.400 --> 1:29:22.800
<v Speaker 1>outlets where they spend time around conservatives, and you know,

1:29:22.920 --> 1:29:25.479
<v Speaker 1>they won't go on Fox News, they won't talk to

1:29:25.560 --> 1:29:28.640
<v Speaker 1>people who work in talk radio like I do. I mean,

1:29:29.400 --> 1:29:31.559
<v Speaker 1>that's just the reality of it. You know, I live

1:29:31.640 --> 1:29:36.080
<v Speaker 1>here in DC and I have constant interaction with people

1:29:36.160 --> 1:29:38.479
<v Speaker 1>from obviously the Hill where I work, but from the

1:29:39.320 --> 1:29:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Washington Examine or the Daily Call or the Free Beacon,

1:29:42.400 --> 1:29:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Fox News. You're gonna go on the list. I never

1:29:45.800 --> 1:29:48.040
<v Speaker 1>see any CNN people. I never see them professional and

1:29:48.120 --> 1:29:52.840
<v Speaker 1>never see them socially because they won't they won't be

1:29:53.000 --> 1:29:56.600
<v Speaker 1>around our ilk. They don't consider people and this is

1:29:56.640 --> 1:30:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the dirty secret of the media. They don't consider conservatives

1:30:00.680 --> 1:30:05.320
<v Speaker 1>to really be colleagues. They think that conservatives at best,

1:30:05.960 --> 1:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>at best are some kind of you know exhibit. Like

1:30:10.960 --> 1:30:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, it's almost like conservatives were like the menagerie.

1:30:13.760 --> 1:30:15.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, Oh, we have got a couple of conservatives here.

1:30:15.840 --> 1:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Look at the conservatives. Look at the way they eat,

1:30:18.200 --> 1:30:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Look at the way they interact with each other. You know,

1:30:20.040 --> 1:30:24.680
<v Speaker 1>we're a spectacle, an oddity. They think that what they

1:30:24.800 --> 1:30:28.559
<v Speaker 1>do is media, what we do is conservative media. They

1:30:28.600 --> 1:30:32.799
<v Speaker 1>don't understand that they just represent a lib coastal smug

1:30:33.040 --> 1:30:36.800
<v Speaker 1>elite point of view, and we represent the other half

1:30:36.840 --> 1:30:41.360
<v Speaker 1>of the country that's a little known group called the

1:30:41.439 --> 1:30:45.479
<v Speaker 1>other half of America, and share a point of view

1:30:45.560 --> 1:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>that maybe they should learn something about. But this also

1:30:47.840 --> 1:30:51.800
<v Speaker 1>brings me to how, you know, liberals don't understand what

1:30:52.080 --> 1:30:55.240
<v Speaker 1>conservatives think or how they think. They really don't. I

1:30:55.439 --> 1:30:57.920
<v Speaker 1>know what liberals think. I can make their arguments for them.

1:30:58.000 --> 1:31:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I understand very well what they really believe. And I

1:31:03.200 --> 1:31:05.880
<v Speaker 1>can't tell you how many liberals I come across who

1:31:06.200 --> 1:31:08.880
<v Speaker 1>when whenever, whenever it comes to conservative points of view,

1:31:09.200 --> 1:31:11.960
<v Speaker 1>they really fall on this. Oh it's all performance theater.

1:31:12.400 --> 1:31:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's all it's all a con. These people don't

1:31:15.560 --> 1:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>really Conservatives don't really believe this stuff. And I sit

1:31:18.200 --> 1:31:21.560
<v Speaker 1>around and say, I socialize with I spend time with

1:31:22.120 --> 1:31:24.519
<v Speaker 1>lots of conservatives in media, many of whom you hear

1:31:24.560 --> 1:31:28.320
<v Speaker 1>on this show. We really believe this stuff. We go out,

1:31:28.360 --> 1:31:31.960
<v Speaker 1>we drink, we eat, we hang out together, and we

1:31:32.080 --> 1:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>still talk about this stuff and we really believe it.

1:31:34.880 --> 1:31:38.439
<v Speaker 1>It's not a con it's not a grift. But I

1:31:38.600 --> 1:31:41.400
<v Speaker 1>guess that's really from the from the left wing perspective,

1:31:41.560 --> 1:31:46.800
<v Speaker 1>they would prefer, they would prefer the possibility of us

1:31:47.000 --> 1:31:50.360
<v Speaker 1>just being frauds instead of having to engage with our ideas.

1:31:51.360 --> 1:31:53.360
<v Speaker 1>And also they like that they get to slander us

1:31:53.360 --> 1:31:55.840
<v Speaker 1>as frauds without having to provide any evidence or support

1:31:55.920 --> 1:31:57.760
<v Speaker 1>for that. And then there's just one more thing. And

1:31:57.880 --> 1:32:01.519
<v Speaker 1>I went to a couple of parties at Spack where

1:32:01.560 --> 1:32:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of prominent conservatives were there,

1:32:04.600 --> 1:32:06.639
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I was talking to former spec ops

1:32:06.680 --> 1:32:08.840
<v Speaker 1>guys that have started that have started their own media

1:32:08.880 --> 1:32:11.120
<v Speaker 1>company and I'm hoping to do their show soon, and

1:32:11.360 --> 1:32:13.320
<v Speaker 1>they had just we had such a fun time, so

1:32:13.479 --> 1:32:16.240
<v Speaker 1>many good people at Speck. But there were these little

1:32:16.320 --> 1:32:20.599
<v Speaker 1>smug lib reporters kind of skulking about. And I don't

1:32:20.600 --> 1:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>mean it's one thing to skulk about in the you know,

1:32:24.280 --> 1:32:26.320
<v Speaker 1>in the back of the main stage room, because you

1:32:26.360 --> 1:32:28.040
<v Speaker 1>know they're pressed. They're they're covering the event, and we

1:32:28.080 --> 1:32:30.400
<v Speaker 1>want them to cover the event. And yes, there's gonna

1:32:30.439 --> 1:32:33.160
<v Speaker 1>be stuff like the Bullwork, which is a crap publication

1:32:33.360 --> 1:32:36.040
<v Speaker 1>that's just a bunch of bitter people that aren't relevant anymore.

1:32:36.640 --> 1:32:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Hiring an anti abortion communist to cover people at spack

1:32:41.200 --> 1:32:45.120
<v Speaker 1>for a supposedly conservative magazine. That actually happened, But you

1:32:45.200 --> 1:32:47.559
<v Speaker 1>know what I saw happening, And this is just tells

1:32:47.600 --> 1:32:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you who these people are on the left. Yeah, these

1:32:49.760 --> 1:32:52.240
<v Speaker 1>reporters that were going to social events and you could

1:32:52.280 --> 1:32:54.519
<v Speaker 1>tell they're you know, people are drinking and they're talking,

1:32:54.680 --> 1:32:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and they're just looking for a conservative doesn't have to

1:32:57.280 --> 1:33:00.960
<v Speaker 1>be a public figure to say something that they can

1:33:01.200 --> 1:33:04.639
<v Speaker 1>vote out of context, to trash seapack. That's what they're

1:33:04.680 --> 1:33:07.560
<v Speaker 1>there for. They're there not to cover it as journalists,

1:33:07.800 --> 1:33:10.840
<v Speaker 1>but to do opo research. And that's why why this

1:33:11.000 --> 1:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>discussion it's bad, bad Stelter that maybe they are just cants.

1:33:14.960 --> 1:33:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that was making that Stelter, you only have your

1:33:18.800 --> 1:33:22.720
<v Speaker 1>job because you're a lib suck up who looks like

1:33:23.600 --> 1:33:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the guy who runs CNN. So there's that we reject

1:33:31.280 --> 1:33:38.759
<v Speaker 1>oppressive speech, coats, censorship, political correctness, and every other attempt

1:33:39.600 --> 1:33:44.400
<v Speaker 1>by the hard left to stop people from challenging ridiculous

1:33:44.920 --> 1:33:51.599
<v Speaker 1>and dangerous ideas. Instead, we believe in free speech. Many

1:33:51.680 --> 1:33:56.000
<v Speaker 1>emergency declarations have been used to protect people in far

1:33:56.120 --> 1:34:02.200
<v Speaker 1>away nations. Now we are protecting fine, our people. You,

1:34:02.760 --> 1:34:11.879
<v Speaker 1>our people. So Trump is pro free speech, which liberals

1:34:11.960 --> 1:34:15.759
<v Speaker 1>increasingly can't say that they are the most interesting takeaway

1:34:15.840 --> 1:34:18.160
<v Speaker 1>from his Seapack speech when I was there at all

1:34:18.200 --> 1:34:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the seapack well, actually I cannot tell why I was

1:34:21.680 --> 1:34:24.439
<v Speaker 1>at home during trump Seapack speech. I was watching it.

1:34:24.600 --> 1:34:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I did watch it, but I had had a late

1:34:27.320 --> 1:34:29.559
<v Speaker 1>night the night before at Seepack, and so I decided

1:34:29.640 --> 1:34:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to get some sleep and rest up. Because the Secret

1:34:33.040 --> 1:34:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Service requirements with it, you had to be there very

1:34:35.920 --> 1:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>early in order to get close to the Trumpster when

1:34:39.920 --> 1:34:43.760
<v Speaker 1>he's doing the speech. So he said that he's thinking

1:34:43.760 --> 1:34:48.080
<v Speaker 1>about pulling federal funding for universities that will not commit

1:34:48.120 --> 1:34:49.639
<v Speaker 1>to free speech. And what I think is so funny

1:34:49.760 --> 1:34:52.479
<v Speaker 1>is that automatically liberals hear this and they go, oh

1:34:52.520 --> 1:34:56.160
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, how will you have universities be speech police,

1:34:56.280 --> 1:34:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and I have to laugh and say, Okay, first of all,

1:34:59.320 --> 1:35:01.800
<v Speaker 1>they already do do that. They just do it in

1:35:01.840 --> 1:35:05.879
<v Speaker 1>favor of libs. They just do it to the benefit

1:35:06.120 --> 1:35:11.160
<v Speaker 1>of the left. But they're already policing speech. So all

1:35:11.200 --> 1:35:12.960
<v Speaker 1>that we're trying to do is say, can you police

1:35:12.960 --> 1:35:16.599
<v Speaker 1>speech to make sure that it is free? Essentially, don't

1:35:16.640 --> 1:35:19.760
<v Speaker 1>police it? How about that you are policing it now

1:35:19.960 --> 1:35:22.080
<v Speaker 1>in favor of the left. How about you just don't

1:35:22.120 --> 1:35:24.719
<v Speaker 1>do that thing? As liberals are all, oh my gosh,

1:35:24.880 --> 1:35:28.200
<v Speaker 1>what will we ever do? How will the universities know

1:35:28.479 --> 1:35:32.280
<v Speaker 1>what free They think about this? The left takes the

1:35:32.400 --> 1:35:37.160
<v Speaker 1>position that it's hard for the universities for colleges to

1:35:37.360 --> 1:35:40.360
<v Speaker 1>know what free speeches. If colleges can't figure out what

1:35:40.439 --> 1:35:43.439
<v Speaker 1>free speeches, then I think we really need to rethink

1:35:44.000 --> 1:35:46.680
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in colleges as a very a very

1:35:46.800 --> 1:35:51.120
<v Speaker 1>general and sweeping way, like what would you say you

1:35:51.280 --> 1:35:56.200
<v Speaker 1>do here colleges. I think it's a very very important

1:35:56.240 --> 1:35:58.880
<v Speaker 1>idea for Trump to push out there, and to keep

1:35:58.920 --> 1:36:02.000
<v Speaker 1>in mind that, you know, Obama and his administration really

1:36:02.040 --> 1:36:05.120
<v Speaker 1>one of the most just despicable things that they did,

1:36:05.479 --> 1:36:07.800
<v Speaker 1>or at least we're thinking about doing. They at one

1:36:07.840 --> 1:36:12.479
<v Speaker 1>point threatened to pull federal funding for schools. That's right,

1:36:12.520 --> 1:36:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Department of Education funding for schools that if a state

1:36:16.560 --> 1:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>would not enact their insane transgender policy of twelve year olds,

1:36:21.400 --> 1:36:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, showering with twelve year old twelve year old

1:36:23.360 --> 1:36:25.240
<v Speaker 1>boys showering at twelve year old girls because they feel

1:36:25.240 --> 1:36:28.360
<v Speaker 1>like a girl. That's what the Obama administration. Yeah, this

1:36:28.560 --> 1:36:30.479
<v Speaker 1>was a real thing. The threatened to pull federal funding.

1:36:31.720 --> 1:36:34.479
<v Speaker 1>So I think pulling federal funding for schools that refused

1:36:34.560 --> 1:36:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to be free speech supportive, I'm fine with that. I

1:36:40.400 --> 1:36:42.240
<v Speaker 1>don't see what the problem is. And people say, oh,

1:36:42.320 --> 1:36:44.559
<v Speaker 1>they can't implement this, I just I point out, well,

1:36:44.600 --> 1:36:48.559
<v Speaker 1>hold on a second. What about Title nine? Why why

1:36:48.720 --> 1:36:52.800
<v Speaker 1>is it that wrestling and lacrosse and other programs at

1:36:52.840 --> 1:36:56.759
<v Speaker 1>school's crew men's crew, which I did in college, they've

1:36:56.800 --> 1:36:59.439
<v Speaker 1>been decimated across the country. Why is that? Oh, because

1:36:59.479 --> 1:37:02.920
<v Speaker 1>you need parity for men's and women's sports, even though

1:37:03.520 --> 1:37:07.320
<v Speaker 1>men generally care more about playing sports at a college

1:37:07.400 --> 1:37:11.280
<v Speaker 1>level than women do. Don't tell anybody. Look, you can

1:37:11.400 --> 1:37:13.439
<v Speaker 1>yell at me by the percentages, it's i't People get

1:37:13.520 --> 1:37:15.559
<v Speaker 1>mad when I said by the percentage is it's just true.

1:37:16.280 --> 1:37:18.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just true. Doesn't mean you shouldn't have women's sports.

1:37:19.000 --> 1:37:22.080
<v Speaker 1>But interest from men in playing college sports is higher

1:37:22.120 --> 1:37:24.519
<v Speaker 1>than interest in women. It's just a fact. But you

1:37:24.600 --> 1:37:28.080
<v Speaker 1>have to have parody in the fun day anyway. Schools

1:37:28.320 --> 1:37:32.320
<v Speaker 1>enforce all kinds of Title nine, including the kangaroo courts

1:37:32.880 --> 1:37:36.479
<v Speaker 1>over sexual assault where the accused has no rights. The

1:37:37.200 --> 1:37:40.800
<v Speaker 1>federal government uses Title nine and the removal of funding

1:37:40.880 --> 1:37:44.280
<v Speaker 1>under Tunnel nine as the way to, you know, implement

1:37:44.360 --> 1:37:48.400
<v Speaker 1>all that. So trust me, if they want to, if

1:37:48.439 --> 1:37:51.519
<v Speaker 1>they decide that they want to get compliance here on

1:37:51.640 --> 1:37:54.320
<v Speaker 1>that free speech is important, they can get it. There's

1:37:54.360 --> 1:37:57.200
<v Speaker 1>no problem. There's no shortage or ways they can make

1:37:57.240 --> 1:38:00.280
<v Speaker 1>this happen. So don't believe a laugh when they're, uh, gosh,

1:38:00.360 --> 1:38:02.160
<v Speaker 1>how can they have the free speech? I don't know,

1:38:02.840 --> 1:38:05.320
<v Speaker 1>it's really not that hard. And if universities camp be

1:38:05.400 --> 1:38:07.720
<v Speaker 1>beacons or free speech, well where can we have that?

1:38:08.800 --> 1:38:10.960
<v Speaker 1>But as we know, this is what was it in June.

1:38:11.400 --> 1:38:13.280
<v Speaker 1>When I am When I am weak, I played by

1:38:13.360 --> 1:38:15.920
<v Speaker 1>your rules because it favors because it favors me. When

1:38:15.960 --> 1:38:18.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm strong, I played by my rules because it favors me.

1:38:18.560 --> 1:38:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's essentially the left on college campuses.

1:38:23.160 --> 1:38:25.919
<v Speaker 1>I've got that quote. You know that was a paraphrase,

1:38:26.000 --> 1:38:27.639
<v Speaker 1>but you know it's a good quote. It's from Dune.

1:38:28.280 --> 1:38:41.240
<v Speaker 1>There's a book I should probably read at some point. Hey,

1:38:41.600 --> 1:38:54.599
<v Speaker 1>Team Buck, it's time for roll call. I just want

1:38:54.600 --> 1:38:57.160
<v Speaker 1>to say it thank you to all members of Team

1:38:57.200 --> 1:38:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Buck who came out to see pack and said hello.

1:39:00.160 --> 1:39:03.320
<v Speaker 1>We got to chat, take photos. A couple of people

1:39:03.400 --> 1:39:06.519
<v Speaker 1>had me signed things, which was which was fun. So

1:39:07.160 --> 1:39:09.519
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for making that happen. Good to

1:39:09.600 --> 1:39:11.920
<v Speaker 1>see all of you, and I hope you enjoyed my

1:39:12.160 --> 1:39:18.040
<v Speaker 1>debate with a very hardcore neo con We definitely got

1:39:18.080 --> 1:39:22.559
<v Speaker 1>into it over what should be done on the question

1:39:22.640 --> 1:39:24.720
<v Speaker 1>of Syria. So if you got a chance to see that,

1:39:24.760 --> 1:39:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I think you saw. I wish we had about another

1:39:27.200 --> 1:39:30.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty minutes, but we made the best use of our

1:39:31.040 --> 1:39:33.080
<v Speaker 1>time on the maid main stage that I think we

1:39:33.160 --> 1:39:39.360
<v Speaker 1>could have under the circumstances. So let's get to it.

1:39:41.040 --> 1:39:45.479
<v Speaker 1>We have first up here Harry who writes, oh this

1:39:45.600 --> 1:39:47.680
<v Speaker 1>is Facebook dot com slash buck sex and if you

1:39:47.760 --> 1:39:53.800
<v Speaker 1>want to be a part of this parte Hi Buck.

1:39:53.920 --> 1:39:56.599
<v Speaker 1>I read Mary Hudson's essay on Teaching in New York.

1:39:57.080 --> 1:39:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I never found it on your Facebook page, by the way,

1:39:59.360 --> 1:40:01.080
<v Speaker 1>But then again, I'm a ludd Eye. No, Harry, I'm

1:40:01.120 --> 1:40:03.400
<v Speaker 1>a luddite because I forgot to put on the Facebook page.

1:40:03.439 --> 1:40:06.759
<v Speaker 1>That's my bad. The last two paragraphs sum it up perfectly.

1:40:07.360 --> 1:40:10.599
<v Speaker 1>If lower or no standards are set, they will be met.

1:40:11.160 --> 1:40:13.120
<v Speaker 1>My generation may have been one of the last ones

1:40:13.160 --> 1:40:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to get a genuinely good general education before racial integration,

1:40:18.720 --> 1:40:21.240
<v Speaker 1>which I'm not saying necessarily a bad thing unless coupled

1:40:21.240 --> 1:40:24.599
<v Speaker 1>with lowered expectations across the board. That seems to have happened,

1:40:24.880 --> 1:40:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and all the leftist nonsense took hold. Even my sister

1:40:28.160 --> 1:40:31.280
<v Speaker 1>tears behind me had an inferior schooling. I believe we

1:40:31.400 --> 1:40:33.559
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of young friends mid twenties that seemed

1:40:33.560 --> 1:40:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to know very little. I fear the leftists have won

1:40:36.280 --> 1:40:40.719
<v Speaker 1>by producing a population of functional illiterates, incapable of critical

1:40:40.840 --> 1:40:47.800
<v Speaker 1>thought shield tie Harry, Harry, I don't know. Is that

1:40:47.880 --> 1:40:49.960
<v Speaker 1>all a quote from her article? I can't tell if

1:40:50.080 --> 1:40:55.600
<v Speaker 1>what's yours and what's from that Mary Hudson essay on

1:40:55.680 --> 1:40:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Teaching in New York. By the way, I would just

1:40:59.000 --> 1:41:03.960
<v Speaker 1>say that the article's really good and I should. John

1:41:04.000 --> 1:41:06.400
<v Speaker 1>will remind me to put it up now. I invited

1:41:06.400 --> 1:41:08.360
<v Speaker 1>her on the show and she didn't come on the show,

1:41:08.479 --> 1:41:11.120
<v Speaker 1>And as producer Mike pointed out, it's probably because she's

1:41:11.160 --> 1:41:13.400
<v Speaker 1>a liberal, because she has a PhD in French literature,

1:41:13.439 --> 1:41:17.240
<v Speaker 1>which just doesn't sound like a very conservative resume to me.

1:41:18.040 --> 1:41:20.280
<v Speaker 1>So not that you can't be a conservative and have

1:41:20.320 --> 1:41:23.800
<v Speaker 1>a PhD in French literature, but it's unlikely, I think.

1:41:24.320 --> 1:41:26.360
<v Speaker 1>But she just had out enough with the school system

1:41:26.640 --> 1:41:29.439
<v Speaker 1>and with the most fascinating part of that essay is

1:41:29.439 --> 1:41:33.639
<v Speaker 1>the attitude, the attitude that these kids in a high

1:41:33.640 --> 1:41:37.040
<v Speaker 1>school level are owed something and even though they don't

1:41:37.080 --> 1:41:39.200
<v Speaker 1>do their homework, they don't do any work, they don't

1:41:39.240 --> 1:41:42.080
<v Speaker 1>have any respect, they don't have any discipline. They're all

1:41:42.120 --> 1:41:45.160
<v Speaker 1>going to get to go to four year colleges. It's

1:41:45.320 --> 1:41:48.160
<v Speaker 1>not how it works. And by the way, even if

1:41:48.200 --> 1:41:50.479
<v Speaker 1>they could theoretically go as in the funds were made

1:41:50.479 --> 1:41:53.280
<v Speaker 1>available to them, that may not be a good idea.

1:41:54.880 --> 1:41:57.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's a very good essay and I will try

1:41:57.760 --> 1:42:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to remember to share it. Garrett right, It's been a

1:42:01.320 --> 1:42:03.679
<v Speaker 1>podcast listened for nearly four years. And share a show

1:42:03.680 --> 1:42:05.160
<v Speaker 1>as much as I can. Thank you so much for

1:42:05.280 --> 1:42:08.439
<v Speaker 1>taking a stand about the evils of abortion. My question

1:42:08.640 --> 1:42:10.439
<v Speaker 1>is what does the two thousand and two Born Alive

1:42:10.560 --> 1:42:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Infant Protection Act not accomplish that necessitated the bill blocked

1:42:15.720 --> 1:42:19.040
<v Speaker 1>by Democrats last week? Love the Show, Garrett. Garrett a

1:42:19.200 --> 1:42:22.040
<v Speaker 1>very good question, and I'm not sure I have the

1:42:22.160 --> 1:42:25.080
<v Speaker 1>one correct answer on it, So I would just say

1:42:25.160 --> 1:42:27.640
<v Speaker 1>that before I tell you that I think that this

1:42:27.880 --> 1:42:34.200
<v Speaker 1>bill added criminal penalties for the doctor for not for

1:42:34.360 --> 1:42:37.320
<v Speaker 1>not taking action to save the bait or to give

1:42:37.360 --> 1:42:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the baby medical care. But it's a fair point. I

1:42:39.760 --> 1:42:42.320
<v Speaker 1>would need to compare the two bills. I would need

1:42:42.360 --> 1:42:46.120
<v Speaker 1>to compare them and see what's in them. Man, I

1:42:46.240 --> 1:42:49.360
<v Speaker 1>have not done that. Michael rides Heyblock. I was watching

1:42:49.439 --> 1:42:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Fox News today. They were saying how legalizing marijuana and

1:42:52.800 --> 1:42:56.120
<v Speaker 1>prostitution is a bad idea. However, the drug war is

1:42:56.160 --> 1:42:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the worst idea as a country we've ever had, and

1:42:58.120 --> 1:43:02.160
<v Speaker 1>laws against prostitution don't stop. They just make things worse.

1:43:02.920 --> 1:43:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm going to run out and vote for those

1:43:04.880 --> 1:43:07.720
<v Speaker 1>crazy Democrats because of this, but I just might stay home.

1:43:08.240 --> 1:43:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I think continue to advocate for the criminalization of victim's

1:43:10.760 --> 1:43:13.000
<v Speaker 1>crimes a bad idea for Republicans. What do you think

1:43:13.080 --> 1:43:17.800
<v Speaker 1>shields High? You know, Michael, I think that legalizing marijuana

1:43:17.960 --> 1:43:20.400
<v Speaker 1>is probably the lesser of two evils. I think that

1:43:20.520 --> 1:43:23.360
<v Speaker 1>legalizing marijuana is probably the way to go. I certainly

1:43:23.400 --> 1:43:25.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think that people should spend any time in prison

1:43:25.920 --> 1:43:29.720
<v Speaker 1>or have their lives ruined for personal use of marijuana.

1:43:29.800 --> 1:43:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I feel very strongly about that. And as

1:43:34.479 --> 1:43:39.639
<v Speaker 1>to prostitution, you know, it's a very it's a very

1:43:39.760 --> 1:43:42.439
<v Speaker 1>sad thing that anybody would be in that position. And

1:43:43.080 --> 1:43:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the line, as we've seen from some news reports recently,

1:43:45.960 --> 1:43:50.439
<v Speaker 1>between prostitution and human trafficking, right, somebody who's essentially forced

1:43:50.960 --> 1:43:56.720
<v Speaker 1>into prostitution can be a pretty thin one. I think

1:43:56.760 --> 1:43:59.000
<v Speaker 1>that as a moral society, it's very hard to have

1:43:59.240 --> 1:44:03.280
<v Speaker 1>prostitution be legal. I really do. And this is look,

1:44:03.360 --> 1:44:06.360
<v Speaker 1>this is this is core libertarian debate stuff, and libertarians

1:44:06.360 --> 1:44:10.280
<v Speaker 1>are obviously very into pushing to decriminalize victimless crimes. I

1:44:10.360 --> 1:44:12.760
<v Speaker 1>would just say that marijuana is not a dangerous enough

1:44:12.800 --> 1:44:15.439
<v Speaker 1>substance to be treated as a Schedule one drug. That's

1:44:15.479 --> 1:44:18.320
<v Speaker 1>just that's just anti science. I don't know how else

1:44:18.360 --> 1:44:21.960
<v Speaker 1>to put it. You know, alcohol is I think an

1:44:22.080 --> 1:44:27.280
<v Speaker 1>obviously more dangerous substance in large quantities than marijuana is.

1:44:28.000 --> 1:44:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Um so the science I think, and among other things,

1:44:31.120 --> 1:44:33.680
<v Speaker 1>as legalizing marijuana is gonna do. But you know, prostitution,

1:44:33.800 --> 1:44:36.479
<v Speaker 1>I just can't. I know, people do it. I know

1:44:36.680 --> 1:44:39.200
<v Speaker 1>they say, oh, it's the oldest profession and all this stuff,

1:44:39.240 --> 1:44:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know what's the line between some of these

1:44:42.040 --> 1:44:45.320
<v Speaker 1>They have all these websites now where you you have,

1:44:45.880 --> 1:44:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, an arrangement or the the they call it,

1:44:48.360 --> 1:44:52.200
<v Speaker 1>like the girlfriend experience or any things where someone you're

1:44:52.240 --> 1:44:57.280
<v Speaker 1>not explicitly exchanging money for sex, but the person expects

1:44:57.320 --> 1:44:59.479
<v Speaker 1>to be. You know, you're a sugar daddy, right, you're

1:44:59.479 --> 1:45:01.680
<v Speaker 1>signing up to so you're going to take care of them,

1:45:01.760 --> 1:45:04.519
<v Speaker 1>and that means paying their bills and giving them money

1:45:04.560 --> 1:45:07.320
<v Speaker 1>for things. And obviously the implication is that there will

1:45:07.360 --> 1:45:12.040
<v Speaker 1>be a physical relationship. You know that is that illegal?

1:45:12.400 --> 1:45:14.960
<v Speaker 1>You know? I don't think so, but you start to

1:45:15.040 --> 1:45:17.040
<v Speaker 1>see it gets a little gray. But now I've been

1:45:17.080 --> 1:45:21.040
<v Speaker 1>talking about prostitution way longer than I intended. Er in rights, Hey,

1:45:21.040 --> 1:45:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a quick question for you. I'm working a little project.

1:45:23.080 --> 1:45:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondered how you would define conservatism. Thanks well, Conservatism

1:45:30.520 --> 1:45:34.439
<v Speaker 1>is the act of conserving, and in this case, I

1:45:34.520 --> 1:45:38.759
<v Speaker 1>think it would be using history to conserve the wisdom

1:45:38.880 --> 1:45:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that we have learned in the past of limited government, constitutionalism,

1:45:42.960 --> 1:45:46.320
<v Speaker 1>natural law. And yeah, that's a pretty good that's a

1:45:46.320 --> 1:45:51.759
<v Speaker 1>pretty good off the cuff definition of conservatism. Seth rights

1:45:52.560 --> 1:45:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Ben Wine Garden Kickbot on Friday. Well, set that makes

1:45:55.560 --> 1:45:58.280
<v Speaker 1>me happy to hear. Ben is an old friend and

1:45:58.360 --> 1:46:01.400
<v Speaker 1>a very very smart and a good guy, and I

1:46:01.560 --> 1:46:04.080
<v Speaker 1>do get a lot of positive feedback about him on

1:46:04.120 --> 1:46:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the show. And like I always say, I want the

1:46:06.280 --> 1:46:08.360
<v Speaker 1>best guest host possible because I want you to listen

1:46:08.400 --> 1:46:10.240
<v Speaker 1>every night. I don't ever want there to be a night,

1:46:10.600 --> 1:46:13.360
<v Speaker 1>whether you're listening live or listening on the podcast where

1:46:13.400 --> 1:46:15.200
<v Speaker 1>you say, ah, you know, I'm not gonna tune anything

1:46:15.200 --> 1:46:16.880
<v Speaker 1>because Buck's not there and so and so. No, No,

1:46:16.920 --> 1:46:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I want you to listen every night. So that means,

1:46:19.800 --> 1:46:24.280
<v Speaker 1>like I get the best guest host that I can. Wayne, Wayne,

1:46:24.920 --> 1:46:27.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm on, I can't remember the words that song I

1:46:27.600 --> 1:46:31.920
<v Speaker 1>was gonna go into the Hey, Wayne, isn't that is

1:46:31.960 --> 1:46:35.120
<v Speaker 1>that Nirvana? John? I know I'm singing that's Nirvana? Right? Yeah?

1:46:35.760 --> 1:46:37.800
<v Speaker 1>And isn't that it's Wayne right. This isn't one of

1:46:37.800 --> 1:46:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the things where I have the lyrics wrong, is it

1:46:40.120 --> 1:46:46.280
<v Speaker 1>that would be? Is it really I'm wrong? I thought

1:46:46.320 --> 1:46:49.320
<v Speaker 1>it's yelling Wayne? Do I Did I just do that

1:46:49.439 --> 1:46:50.960
<v Speaker 1>on air? Did I just get the lyrics wrong? Go

1:46:51.040 --> 1:46:55.519
<v Speaker 1>a Nirvana song? You know what I'm talking about? All right?

1:46:55.560 --> 1:46:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Whatever I like, I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna

1:46:57.439 --> 1:46:59.600
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of heat for this one. Maybe. I

1:46:59.600 --> 1:47:01.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know if anyone who cares anymore.

1:47:01.960 --> 1:47:05.559
<v Speaker 1>I just think Nirvana is overrated. I just think Nirvana

1:47:05.720 --> 1:47:08.080
<v Speaker 1>is not that great. You know, people get so excited

1:47:08.120 --> 1:47:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the nineties about Nirvana, and I think kind of sounds

1:47:10.920 --> 1:47:15.160
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of other bands and the music is yeah,

1:47:15.720 --> 1:47:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I don't really like that drop. So

1:47:17.400 --> 1:47:19.120
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna we're gonna have to get that one. That

1:47:19.320 --> 1:47:22.040
<v Speaker 1>was producer Mike put that one in, and it's not

1:47:22.160 --> 1:47:24.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not for me. But see, I'm obviously in a

1:47:24.920 --> 1:47:29.120
<v Speaker 1>curmudgeonly mood right now. So there's that. Katherine with a

1:47:29.280 --> 1:47:32.439
<v Speaker 1>why this is meant for roll call? Great show? Buck.

1:47:32.960 --> 1:47:34.920
<v Speaker 1>My question for you is have you read the book

1:47:34.960 --> 1:47:38.720
<v Speaker 1>The Human Factor by Ishmael Jones. It is written by

1:47:38.880 --> 1:47:41.479
<v Speaker 1>a former CIA officer who says the agency has bloated

1:47:41.560 --> 1:47:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and bureaucratically corrupt. You agree with his conclusions. Also, have

1:47:45.120 --> 1:47:47.439
<v Speaker 1>you read The Fate of Nations by Sir John Glub

1:47:47.640 --> 1:47:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for your response, Catherine. I have read The Human

1:47:54.479 --> 1:47:58.479
<v Speaker 1>Factor by Ishmael Jones. He is right on some of

1:47:58.560 --> 1:48:01.960
<v Speaker 1>his broad conclusions about the agency being bloated and bureaucratic.

1:48:02.560 --> 1:48:07.240
<v Speaker 1>That is true. The book itself is very boring, so

1:48:07.479 --> 1:48:09.679
<v Speaker 1>I didn't I can't say that it's something I would recommend,

1:48:10.000 --> 1:48:12.280
<v Speaker 1>but as somebody who was in the agency, yes, there's

1:48:12.280 --> 1:48:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of bloat, a lot of waste,

1:48:15.000 --> 1:48:18.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of sloth and bureaucratic nonsense. And there's really

1:48:18.680 --> 1:48:22.640
<v Speaker 1>no question about that. Oh and the other one, the

1:48:22.800 --> 1:48:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Fate of Nations, I have not read that. I'm almost

1:48:25.960 --> 1:48:28.639
<v Speaker 1>done with the Last City of the Monkey God, which

1:48:28.720 --> 1:48:30.759
<v Speaker 1>is kind of an adventure book. It's a true story.

1:48:30.880 --> 1:48:35.320
<v Speaker 1>It's about finding the city in Honduras. In this area,

1:48:35.560 --> 1:48:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Mosquitia of Honduras is very the kind of most unexplored

1:48:40.520 --> 1:48:42.840
<v Speaker 1>part of Honduras. I wish I could tell you that

1:48:42.920 --> 1:48:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I really liked it, but you know, it's a lot

1:48:45.000 --> 1:48:47.360
<v Speaker 1>of like, oh, the dangerous snakes we gotta be you know,

1:48:47.439 --> 1:48:49.519
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm reading a book that's kind of

1:48:49.600 --> 1:48:52.519
<v Speaker 1>a bad version of The Crocodile Hunter, because yeah, there's

1:48:52.520 --> 1:48:54.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot of dangerous snakes. Okay, but now you're just

1:48:54.520 --> 1:48:56.519
<v Speaker 1>telling me more about Look, I haven't finished the books,

1:48:56.520 --> 1:48:59.400
<v Speaker 1>so maybe it gets better. But there's a lot of like, yeah,

1:48:59.479 --> 1:49:02.639
<v Speaker 1>and then we saw this really old stone that could

1:49:02.640 --> 1:49:07.080
<v Speaker 1>have been an altar for religious stuff. Oh, tell me

1:49:07.160 --> 1:49:10.160
<v Speaker 1>more about the old stone. It's not that awesome. It's

1:49:10.200 --> 1:49:16.880
<v Speaker 1>not that awesome. Andrei's writes buck your seat pack debate

1:49:17.120 --> 1:49:20.559
<v Speaker 1>was masterful on Syria. It was truly painful to hear.

1:49:20.640 --> 1:49:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I was in the Pentagon when the planes hit on

1:49:22.200 --> 1:49:24.439
<v Speaker 1>nine to eleven. Why do people do this? Do they

1:49:24.479 --> 1:49:27.080
<v Speaker 1>think it adds to their credibility? You're a patient and

1:49:27.160 --> 1:49:30.799
<v Speaker 1>thoughtful dude. I know it's rough. Keep spreading freedom of knowledge.

1:49:30.880 --> 1:49:34.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not only your passion we appreciate, but a gift

1:49:34.120 --> 1:49:36.120
<v Speaker 1>for us. All well, Andrea's man, thank you so much.

1:49:36.200 --> 1:49:37.920
<v Speaker 1>And shields how to you? It is very very kind

1:49:37.960 --> 1:49:40.760
<v Speaker 1>of you. And yeah, I think I think I was

1:49:40.840 --> 1:49:46.720
<v Speaker 1>able to explain my position well at the debate. Oh

1:49:46.760 --> 1:49:48.400
<v Speaker 1>we got another one in here, Philip rights Hey Buck

1:49:48.439 --> 1:49:51.479
<v Speaker 1>Shields High outstanding performance at SEAPAC on the Syria topic.

1:49:51.800 --> 1:49:54.800
<v Speaker 1>You smoke, Teason. You made the most poignant point on

1:49:54.880 --> 1:49:57.680
<v Speaker 1>the number of deployments required to fight them wherever they are.

1:49:58.240 --> 1:50:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Professional think tankers have run our form for far too long. Yeah, Phil,

1:50:02.080 --> 1:50:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that they just also never learned the lesson,

1:50:04.400 --> 1:50:07.559
<v Speaker 1>and that's frustrating because they don't really they don't really

1:50:07.640 --> 1:50:11.559
<v Speaker 1>carry the burdens, and they just do not learn those lessons.

1:50:12.000 --> 1:50:14.559
<v Speaker 1>So I gotta find the clip of that SPAC debate

1:50:14.600 --> 1:50:16.600
<v Speaker 1>so I can post it on Facebook. I'll try to

1:50:16.680 --> 1:50:20.040
<v Speaker 1>do that sometime this week. Thank you so much team
