Not Buck Sexton, 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 2: who hates Halloween, the only person I may know in 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 2: America who hates Halloween. 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 3: We'll have a little bit. 8 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 2: Of spooky fun with all of you as we roll 9 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 2: throughout this day. I know a lot of kids and 10 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 2: grandkids and also many adults out there will be going 11 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: a little bit a little bit fasted. Buck, you're did 12 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: you get the candy? Are you going to at least 13 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: give candy out to children who knock on your door? 14 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: Not only is my wife responsible now for picking up 15 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 2: a bunch of candy so that we can spread I 16 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: don't know what this, this notion that I'm so anti 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 2: Halloween just because I don't address Halloween hater, I think 18 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: you should just own it. There's probably a segment of 19 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: the population. You could be their king. I just because 20 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: I don't dress up as like mister potato Head or 21 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 2: something where I'm not dressed as Taylor Swift's new bau whatever. 22 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: Everybody messed up as Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift this year. 23 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 3: That's the number one Halloween costume. I don't think. 24 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: Anybody would buy me as Travis Kelcey, so I'd probably 25 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 2: stay away from that costume. Nonetheless, no, we're gonna be 26 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: given out candy. We might even have the depending. The 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: puppy if she's in a teething mood, might be kind 28 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: of terrifying, So we could probably put like a little 29 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: you know, Dracula cape on her because she likes to 30 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,279 Speaker 2: she likes to nip like Dracula does. The dogs getting 31 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: dressed up, I'm not gonna lie, especially when they put 32 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: fake legs on them and it looks like they're running. 33 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: I mean, those videos are very popular on Instagram. I 34 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: can't I laugh every time I see it. I mean, 35 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 2: it works on me, the dogs in costume. So if 36 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 2: you guys now have the opportunity also have a confession 37 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: to make real quick, which is that you know, we 38 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: do have some candy already in the house. And I 39 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: just think that Reese's pieces are fair game, Like I 40 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: don't think that has to be a Halloween candy thing. Like, 41 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: I think you can just hit the Reese's pieces whenever 42 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: you feel like it. You mean the peanut buttercups, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 43 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: of course. I think the Reese's Peanut butter cup is 44 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: the absolute apex of can the creation. 45 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: I don't think you can be. 46 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: I think that's actually the most popular single candy. What 47 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: you'll see at some point, Buck, when you have children 48 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: is Halloween is a great opportunity to teach him about taxation. 49 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: So the dad tax shows up and they come back with, 50 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: you know, tons of candy, and Dad will dive in 51 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: and say, hey, this is what the government does. Government 52 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: just takes you know, you know, you you did all 53 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: the work, you brought it back home. And then Dad's 54 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: big government just goes right into the candy and takes 55 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: whatever he wants a percentage of. If you're like Urice's 56 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: piece is missing and all of a sudden you recognize 57 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: that maybe taxation is theft. The other thing that your 58 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 2: kids will get smart about, Buck one day, is they 59 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: know what I like the best. So when people leave 60 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: candy out and they get to pick what candy that 61 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: they want to get, you know, this is not a 62 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: nice thing to do. If you're going to be out 63 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: of a town, put the ball out, say you know, 64 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: take one piece, kids will hopefully hit be honest, do it. 65 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 3: But I love peanut m and ms. For instance. 66 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 2: My kids will not take a penut eminem or a 67 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: Reese's Pieces cup if they are the options there, because 68 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: they know that Dad is more likely to tax that. 69 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: So there is like a CounterPunch to the Dad tax 70 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: when it shows up. So again, parents, good opportunity to 71 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: teach about taxation and how unfair it is by going 72 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 2: in taking a few pieces of candy. Later tonight, all 73 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: that's going on, we'll have some fun with that. I 74 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: watched Scream last night with the boys. 75 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 3: Buck. 76 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: We've been watching a lot of Halloween movies, the Lost Boys. 77 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: It's been a lot of fun to watch the eighties 78 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: and nineties movies with them. But there are serious things 79 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: going on. We have double wars, and the pivot from 80 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: what candy is the best to war going on in 81 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: Israel is probably one that doesn't happen on very many 82 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: shows in America. We're covering all the bases here, and 83 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: yesterday Benjamin net Yahoo came out and he's got it. 84 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: I think a really strong editorial in this morning's Wall 85 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: Street Journal Buck making basically the same argument which is 86 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: this what is going on in Israel right now? Anyone 87 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: who is arguing for a ceasefire would essentially be saying, 88 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: after Pearl Harbor or nine to eleven, Hey, America, you 89 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: need to just let the people who attacked you get 90 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: away with it. There's nothing that you should do. Listen 91 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: to this, which I think is a pretty powerful argument. 92 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 4: I want to make clear of Israel's position regarding the ceasefire. 93 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 4: Just as the United States would not agree to a 94 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 4: cease fire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after 95 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 4: the terrorist attack of nine to eleven, Israel will not 96 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 4: agree to a cessation of facilities with Ramas after the 97 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 4: horrific attacks of October seventh. Calls for a cease fire 98 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: are calls for Israel to surrender to Ramas, to surrender 99 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 4: to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. 100 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: That will not happen. 101 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: It is fundamentally a fight between civilization and barbarism. We've 102 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: said that on this show. Netan Yahoo is you know, 103 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: reiterating that and leading this fight now as a Prime 104 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: Minister of Israel against the barbarism of Hamas. One thing 105 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 2: that I do think is interesting from just the perspective 106 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: of how this is perceived in America. In the Middle East, 107 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: this is much more about Islam and Judaism. It's much 108 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: more of that. There's a religious component to the way 109 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: people frame the conflict in this country. It's it's very apparent. 110 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 2: And you see this with the way there's been BLM solidarity, 111 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: and you see this with the campus anti colonialist activists 112 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: lunatics walking around, you know, marching around and shouting and 113 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: all the anti Semitism they're spewing. They think of this 114 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: as a racial conflict, which is completely rooted in ignorance 115 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: of what Israel really is and who really lives there, 116 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: and the situation and the fact that there are a 117 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: million Palestinians who live inside of Israel in peace and security, 118 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 2: that most Israelis are actually ethnically from the Middle East 119 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: or not Ashkenazi or European descent Jews. That there are 120 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: Ethiopian Jews, I mean, there are Iraqi Jews, there are 121 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: Algerian Jews. You got on this whole list. So there's 122 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of ignorance about the conflict that is 123 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: fueling part of the left wing lunacy here Clay, and 124 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: then there's different left wing lunacies or you know, different 125 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: either ignorance or anti Semitism or a combination thereof that 126 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: you're seeing more prevalent overseas in the whether it's the 127 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 2: situation in the streets in London or you know, other cities. 128 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: Obviously we mentioned yesterday in Dagistan, which is think of 129 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: it like a little breakaway region next to Chechnia. And 130 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: in Dagistan there was a group a mob that chased 131 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: that they were trying to find Jews that were flying 132 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: in from I think a flight from Israel and they 133 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: were trying to chase them around the airport and you know, 134 00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 2: terrify them. So this has become a global really a 135 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: a global debate at some level about you know, who's 136 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: right here, who's wrong? And I just don't think it 137 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: could be any more clear than what we've already said 138 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: and what we've already seen. You know, Hamas, the notion 139 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: of a ceasefire, Clay Hamas is still a threat to 140 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: Israel right now. There could be another terror attack tomorrow, 141 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: There could be another terror attack in a year. The 142 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: infrastructure that they have, the planning, the plotting, the fighters 143 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: are all still well, not all they've been taken out 144 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: some of them, but largely still in place. And so 145 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: not only are the people demanding a ceasefire and the 146 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: people pretending that collateral unintentional collateral civilian casualties on the 147 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: Israeli side or the same thing as what Hamas did. 148 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: That is a lie and that's really one of the 149 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 2: fundamental lies of all this. But they're asking the Israelis 150 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: or demanding that the Israelis not seek justice and not 151 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: really defend themselves because there's an ongoing threat. That's why 152 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 2: the al Qaeda. Now people forget this. Clay I worked 153 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: in CTC at the CIA, and there were a lot 154 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: of al Qaeda efforts After nine to eleven. There were 155 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: ongoing efforts. People forget this. We were very close to 156 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: losing an airliner on Christmas Day and I think it 157 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: was Obama's first year in office. 158 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: People remember the shoe bomber. 159 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: This is why you had to take your shoes off 160 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: of they Oh, you know, in retrospect, people think, oh, 161 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: well it didn't work. 162 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: It could have worked. 163 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: Obviously they had a plan. 164 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 2: Obviously they were trying to take down an entire I 165 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: think there were like one hundred and forty people on 166 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: this plane on Christmas Day two thousand and nine. So 167 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: they were ongoing Al Qaeda plots, ongoing terrorist threats. And 168 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: that was many, many years later. There were many that 169 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 2: happened before that, big plots to blow up planes and 170 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: other things. So what is the what is the call 171 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: for cease What I would want to know, Clay for 172 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 2: anyone who says we should have a ceasefire, when does 173 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 2: the ceasefire cease? When it does, it allowed to fight back. 174 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: That's that's the important part. The ceasefire is not designed 175 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: to actually ever allow Israel to attack. And this was 176 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: my concern buck as Israel waited two weeks basically to 177 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 2: go into Gaza and start to fully take on Hamas 178 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 2: inside of Gaza, was that they were going to end 179 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: up bending to political pressure because in the immediate aftermath 180 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: of the attack, there's a lot of people saying, go 181 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: go this is the smart move, This makes a ton 182 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 2: of sense. But once that immediate aftermath begins to fade, 183 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: there becomes the argument of well. 184 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: Do you really need to go in now? 185 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 2: And I give net and Yahoo credit for making a clear, concise, 186 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: I think very important argument not only the audio we 187 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: just played, but in his Wall Street Journal editorial. Also Buck, 188 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: what does it say that Netanyahu is more eloquent in 189 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: English than Joe Biden? Is I mean that Israel can 190 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 2: be led by And I understand people are like, well, 191 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: there's all sorts of issues domestically in Israel outside of 192 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: the Hamas attack. 193 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 3: I understand. 194 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 2: But Netanyahu is a I think, brilliant guy who is 195 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 2: lawlessly able to elucidate the compelling nature of his nation's 196 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: quest to remove Hamas as a threat in a foreign 197 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: language better than Joe Biden right now can communicate in 198 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 2: the only language, to my knowledge that Joe Biden can speak, 199 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: which is English. Well, it's impossible for Joe Biden to 200 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 2: exert real leadership because anybody who is interacting with him 201 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 2: is going to be aware of his infirmity, his frailty, 202 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 2: and the decline that he's in. And if you are 203 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: another you know, if you're another head of state, for example, 204 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: if you're his peer, you're going to recognize this and 205 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 2: see that you don't have somebody who who is doing 206 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 2: anything other than going through the motions. Really, and like 207 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 2: we always discuss, I think that there is a machinery 208 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: and apparatus that is effectively running the Biden presidency and 209 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: that it's not which you know, you couldn't say that 210 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: about the Trump presidency. 211 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 3: Just so it's good. 212 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,479 Speaker 2: That's not always the case, right, you know, the Trump presidency, 213 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: he was running it right like he would make decisions, 214 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: and he would decide, this is the way it's going 215 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 2: to go, this is the policy. 216 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 3: Sometimes people say maybe he went. 217 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: A little too quickly with things before letting the rest 218 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: of the staff know. But nonetheless he was I like 219 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: this Bush phrase, the decider. I don't think people believe 220 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's the decider. And I'm not even sure that's 221 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 2: a real word. 222 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 3: But it should be. No. I mean, I think that's 223 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: ultimately all your voting on. 224 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: When you were voting for the President of the United States, 225 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: what you're effectively asking is who do you believe is 226 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: when faced with some of the most difficult decisions, without 227 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: necessarily a ton of time to make those choices, who 228 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 2: do you you can analyze that data and make the 229 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 2: most irrational decision on behalf of the American public. Certainly 230 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 2: it's not Joe Biden. We don't even know who's making choices. 231 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: Which is inside is biden White House? There's a not 232 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: insignificant possibility that at some point in the weeks ahead 233 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: there may be an assault on US military personnel. There 234 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: have already been some exchanges with these Shea militias, but 235 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: there may be something more substantial that we'll have Iranian 236 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: fingerprints all over it. We may have us loss of life, 237 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: God forbid, but this kind of thing could happen. The 238 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: Iranians are certainly threatening that it will happen. Rather, these 239 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: militias are threatening it will happen. And that's when the 240 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: commander in chief. That's when the decider matters, because what's 241 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: his response going to be. Will it be enough that 242 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: our enemies recognize they better back off. Will it be 243 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 2: so much that perhaps it spirals into a broader conflict 244 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: which would not be advisable. This is where decision making matters. 245 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: And the fact that we have the president we have 246 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 2: right now does not instill comin said anyone, and I 247 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: would even argue it does not instill confidence in Democrats 248 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 2: relative to in their mind other Democrats who could be 249 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: in the role. Not a comparison to Trump, because they 250 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 2: think Trump is, you know, the worst person ever, but 251 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 2: even relative to in other Democrats, I think they recognize 252 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 2: Joe Biden as wanting in this role. 253 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: When we come back. 254 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 2: I want to ask you about this, Uh, how let's 255 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: say Biden has to make a response. How many divergent 256 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 2: opinions do you think he's getting right now from a 257 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 2: national security perspective? Or do you think there is before 258 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: they even get to Biden because of concerns about his 259 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 2: mental state. Do you think they have those battles outside 260 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: of his presence and then they only come to Biden 261 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 2: with whatever the consensus. 262 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 3: Is they present him with, like the blue plate special menu. Yeah, 263 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 3: I mean he's between two things. 264 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm curious how you would assess that if 265 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: it were to happen. And I mean, it's as scary 266 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: to think about, but I think your point about, hey, 267 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 2: he's going to have to make decisions that there aren't 268 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: necessarily always great options on do we trust this guy 269 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: to make any decision right now? And he might have 270 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: the most freighted, most consequential, most in danger of World 271 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: War iie, in the last twenty some odd years, all 272 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: of a sudden, directly on his desk.

Whatever percentage of success they're having unknown, but 280 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: it shows you how brazen an online hacker will be 281 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: to get your information so they can exploit it for 282 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: financial gain.

Alan Dershowitz, 301 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: Professor emeritis from Harvard, Constitutional Law Scholar, et cetera. He 302 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: is saying that he wants donors to stop donating to Harvard. 303 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 3: Listen to this one play. Three students have. 304 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 5: Been responsible for some of the worst blood baths and 305 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 5: abuses in history. 306 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: Stalin our children. 307 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 3: Hitler relied on college students. 308 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 5: There's no excuse. These are Hitler's youth, and president of 309 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 5: Harvard refuses to condemn them. 310 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 3: She's now, finally. 311 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 6: After a lot of pressure, willing to condemn Hamas, but 312 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 6: she's not willing to condemn Hitler's youth among her students 313 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 6: and among her faculty.

This is why Biden's secretary of 380 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 2: State is speaking. And so Buck, this was the question 381 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 2: I asked to you to start to close out the 382 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 2: first part of the of the show, the first segment. 383 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 2: You've been in there to brief president. You have walked 384 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 2: in and said, mister President, I think it's important for 385 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: you to consider this is George W. 386 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 3: Bush. 387 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 2: Did you also ever brief Obama in the early days 388 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 2: of the Obama administration or just w I did two 389 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 2: Oval Office deep dives for W I was never invited 390 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 2: in under the Obama administration. Okay, but you are one 391 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: of the few people who can say, hey, I've walked 392 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 2: into conduct a briefing for the President of the United 393 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: States to give him options, let him see the lay 394 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 2: of the land, given where on war issues. 395 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 396 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 2: So, given what where we are with Joe Biden right now, 397 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: what would you anticipate briefings for Joe Biden look like? 398 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: And in particular, I think whether you like him or not. 399 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: And I've never been there, but I think if you 400 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 2: were with let's say Barack Obama, he was capable of 401 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 2: understanding two different complicated issues. 402 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 3: I bet George W. Bush was. 403 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: I don't think Joe Biden is. 404 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: So how would you think is there a big battle 405 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 2: outside before they go into the Oval Office and they 406 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: decide on a consensus, and they say, hey, we're going 407 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: to present the president only one option. Do you think 408 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: they're giving him multiple options when he has to make 409 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 2: these complicated decisions potentially with World War three at stake. 410 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 2: I hate to use hyperbole, but I don't even think 411 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: I am here who's actually making decisions and is Biden 412 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: getting the full range of potential outcomes and choices and 413 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 2: probabilities that a typical president would. So generally the someone 414 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: like me who was a civil servant in the c 415 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: I A. You present information and you answer questions, but 416 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 2: you're not You're not policy prescriptive is the term they'll use. Like, 417 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: you don't go in there and say, miss I think 418 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 2: we should do X or Y. You are just presenting 419 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 2: and representing your agency, so whatever. You know, you're like 420 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 2: a sack guy as opposed to an opinion guy for 421 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: the role that you would That's right. 422 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 3: You're you're like, you're like a reporter, not an editorial writer. 423 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, so to so to speak that the people that 424 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 2: are doing the policy side of it are appointees and 425 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 2: and very senior either Pentagon, White House, uh staff right, 426 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 2: and you know n SC director sometimes will get involved 427 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 2: in those kinds of conversations. 428 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: Stuff like that. 429 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 2: People that you know, national Security advisor, they're the ones 430 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 2: that are going to be presenting the here's option A, 431 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 2: here's option B, right, and it which reminds me, oh, 432 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 2: we did. I don't think we we we pulled it, 433 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: but it did come up in my feed recently where 434 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 2: where Martin Sheen is the president of the West Wing. 435 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: Didn't I send this to you? And there's some incident 436 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 2: abroad and he gives this whole speech about how you know, 437 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: you know, I don't want proportionate. I want to do 438 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 2: something that looks like we're not just docking their lunch 439 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 2: money or something like that, right, or you know, taking 440 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 2: their lunch money that you know, it's usually not as 441 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 2: cut and dry as like, sir, there's option A, we're 442 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 2: going to hit this, there's option B. 443 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 3: We're going to hit that, and. 444 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: They just sort of like lay it out in front 445 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 2: of him. But with Joe Biden, I think they probably 446 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 2: do have a more simplified version of it. I think 447 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: Biden if I think Biden is signing off on major 448 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: decisions instead of formulating them, yeah, meaning like not, I 449 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 2: don't think he's deeply involved himself in what's going on, 450 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: even on the most critical national security issues. I think blinking, 451 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: and probably some others sit down with him and say, sir, 452 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: here's what we're thinking, and he just kind of mutters 453 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: something like yeah, okay. 454 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 3: I mean this is so scary. 455 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 2: A president who has trouble exiting the stage when he speaks, 456 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 2: who can barely read a teleprompter, making decisions in a dynamic, 457 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: fluid situation that other leaders have to analyze and respond to. Fuck, 458 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 2: I mean, this is just this is I mean, let's 459 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 2: be honest. This is how World War IIE happens. Right, 460 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 2: there's a miscalculation as to how someone is going to respond. 461 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: We're seen as weak. They feel like they can push 462 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 2: us around. You know how it often happens if you're 463 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: seen as weak. At some point you misjudge and try 464 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: to prove that you're not weak by overreaching and trying 465 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: to be way too proportional. This is the little man syndrome. 466 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 2: Everybody knows what I'm talking about. Like you're walking through 467 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: a bar and a little guy gets bumped and he's 468 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: insecure about being little, and he decides that he wants 469 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 2: to start a huge fight. Now we got the little 470 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 2: guy syndrome with Biden. We got the mentally deficient syndrome. 471 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 2: With Biden, We've got real difficulty buck and even knowing 472 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 2: who's making decisions. Who does Biden rely on. You know, 473 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 2: we made fun of it, but when Hillary's talking about 474 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 2: who answers the phone call at three am, at least 475 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 2: she could potentially have woken up. I'm not even sure 476 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: they wake Biden up at this point. I'm not sure 477 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 2: they can get him out of bed at three am 478 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 2: to understand what's going on. This is not just a 479 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 2: scary time. I think that a lot of the people 480 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 2: who who vote Biden or who support Biden still to 481 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: this point, I think that their version of this would be, well, 482 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 2: it's fine, he doesn't have to be making those decisions, 483 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 2: and then they just revert to I really believe this, 484 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 2: and you're gonna see this so many times in so 485 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: many ways over the course of the general election. It's 486 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 2: better him than Trump. I mean, even Morning Joe. I 487 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 2: think on that show they said that recently, could you 488 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: imagine if Donald Trump was president right now? 489 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 3: Now? 490 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: This is the thing that they say, which is pretty 491 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 2: mind blowing because it's an inversion of the reality that 492 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 2: we've seen, which is that Russia invades under Biden, Hamas 493 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: does the worst terror attack since nine to eleven under Biden. 494 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 2: I mean, these things occur, we have events, right, we 495 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: have evidence of when do our enemies think it's a 496 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 2: better time to act? And yet there's still this belief 497 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 2: among Democrats, Oh, it's better now than it would be 498 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: if Trump was president. 499 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 3: So that can kind of just excuse. 500 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever, one hundred percent right about that. If I 501 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 2: really believe that if Trump were president, Putin would have 502 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 2: never invaded Ukraine. And I believe that given what we've 503 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 2: seen with Putin and Ukraine. I also think Hamas would 504 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: not I think Iran would have been terrified to sign 505 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 2: off on Hamas attacking Israel in this manner if Trump 506 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: were president. 507 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 3: Do you believe that? 508 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 2: Do you think they would have done this if Trump 509 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 2: were president of the United States. I think it would 510 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 2: have been a part of the calculation, and I think 511 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: there would have been more trepidation from the bad guys 512 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 2: from you know, the evil team here about messing around 513 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 2: with Donald Trump as a commander in chief. It always 514 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 2: reminds me of a little bit of of the line 515 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 2: in Tombstone, which is one of my favorite probably one 516 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: of my favorite great westerns. It's a great movie. But 517 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 2: remember they give the shotgun to Doc Holliday and they 518 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 2: say they make they may get a little less antsy 519 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 2: if Doc is on the street Howitzer. 520 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: That's what they call it. 521 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's kind of the way I always felt 522 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: about Trump as commander in chief. You had Doc Holliday 523 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 2: on the on the street Howitzer, like you had a 524 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 2: guy who the other side had to think about, Oh wow. 525 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 2: He may not sit around and have a meeting with 526 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 2: like the un about what to do. He may just decide, 527 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta punch the bully right in the face. 528 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 2: Another example of that would be a great movie speech 529 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 2: Jack Nicholson's on the Wall character and a few good men. 530 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 2: You know, basically, you need me on that wall, you 531 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 2: want me on that wall. Everything may I'd be perfect. 532 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 2: But I really firmly believe that Vladimir Putin would not 533 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: have invaded Ukraine, and I don't think Iran would have 534 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 2: signed off, which I believe they did based on the 535 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 2: reporting that we've seen on the Hamas attack on Israel 536 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: if Trump were in charge, because I think they would 537 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 2: have been terrified as to what Trump might do. 538 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 3: Back to them. 539 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: And I don't think there's any fear at all of 540 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: what Biden might do. And I don't think it's a 541 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 2: coincidence that all of this started to happen after our 542 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 2: incredible weakness in the way that we withdrew from Afghanistan. 543 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 2: Here's to make this because I think in a lot 544 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: of foreign policy stuff, people like to keep it all vague. 545 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 3: And my team is better than their team. And here's one. 546 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: Area where I think, if I truly believe this with 547 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 2: tremendous conviction, if Donald Trump were president, this like cease 548 00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 2: fire talk. Trump would be saying that this is nonsense Israel. 549 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: Israel's got to go in there. This is a fight 550 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 2: of good versus evil. The ceasefire talk is just meant 551 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: to prevent Israel from being able to defend itself. 552 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 3: End of story. 553 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 2: And I think the Biden administry, I know, actually I've 554 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 2: talked to people in DC. The Biden administration is very 555 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: slow down. Don't do too much, you know, be careful, 556 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 2: watch out. The UN's watching, you know, they're They're taking 557 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 2: a very different approach to the backing of Israel, at 558 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 2: least behind closed doors. I think Trump would say, we've 559 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 2: got your back go in there, and you know this 560 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 2: ceasefire talk is just meant to hobble your response. I 561 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: it's scary times. I mean, when you look down on 562 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: your phone any moment you think, well, we may be 563 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 2: in the multi front ar officially in the Middle East. 564 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 2: Who knows what's going to happen in Ukraine, which nobody's 565 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 2: talking about. Buck, But that big offensive that was supposed 566 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 2: to be so successful that we spent so much money 567 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 2: for for Ukraine, they didn't move at all during the 568 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 2: whole summer. So all that money we spent and basically 569 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: we got bogged down stalemate in Ukraine. It doesn't seem 570 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 2: like anything's changing in a good way for the Ukrainians 571 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 2: anytime soon. 572 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 3: You know. 573 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 2: For some families, tonight's a monster night pun intended.

And then third hour, 606 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: we're going to talk to Alex Berenson, because I think 607 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 2: what you're seeing now is they they held on to 608 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: the rituals of covid Idianism as long as they could, 609 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: even when it was clearly absurd, because the longer they 610 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 2: held on to the rituals, the more they extended the timeline, 611 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 2: so it was less likely people would say, wait a second, what. 612 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 3: The heck were we doing here? 613 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 2: You know, delay is a way of denying realization and 614 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 2: denying recognition of what really happened. Now you're starting to see, 615 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 2: with the data piling up that basically everything they did 616 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 2: was not was not only wrong, but actually deeply counterproductive. 617 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 2: And and Fauci, who was getting his Rutger's Honorary degree, 618 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 2: is someone who or no, was it Hofstra Rutgers? Sorry 619 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 2: I think this Hofstra Hostra. I think, yeah, yeah, sorry, Hofstra. 620 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: I'm sure Rutgers would give him one too, By the way, 621 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 2: just I don't think they would refuse, but I think 622 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 2: that people are there's basically now no way to hold 623 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 2: back the dam of everything we did on COVID was 624 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 2: effectively wrong. Like every thing that we did. When I 625 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 2: say we, I mean that the country and really most 626 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 2: of the world was ordered to do was worse than 627 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: pointless because it was a lot of it was just bad. Yeah, 628 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 2: and didn't It didn't save anyone. There was actually no 629 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 2: We were led to believe that it was at worst 630 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 2: eighty twenty eighty percent benefit play twenty percent cost, and 631 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: it looks increasingly like it was one hundred percent cost 632 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: and zero percent benefits, certainly on things like masking, certainly 633 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 2: on things like lockdowns. 634 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 3: You'll occasionally see some. 635 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 2: Like dead end or tweet out, like do you really 636 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 2: believe that lockdowns didn't save loves? 637 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 638 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,479 Speaker 2: I really believe that, Yeah, because everyone got COVID and 639 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 2: we never really locked down anyway. People just didn't have 640 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 2: to go into the office. I mean, you know, some people, 641 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 2: other people did. I mean, the whole thing was absurd. 642 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 2: A couple of things that we'll talk about with Barnson 643 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 2: on that buck. The New York Magazine, which is a 644 00:33:55,160 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 2: pretty leftist publication there, featured this week COVID lockdowns were 645 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 2: a giant experiment. It was a failure a key lesson 646 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 2: of the pandemic. Oh, that sounds like something we might 647 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 2: have been saying for three years on this program. And 648 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 2: I did want to mention this because it's like sports 649 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 2: is just pretending this didn't happen. 650 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 3: Did you see this, Buck? 651 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes was probably the best quarterback in the NFL 652 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 2: got the flu and he was super sick, and they 653 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 2: were giving him multiple IVS and he played in his 654 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 2: game against Denver. For years now, if you tested positive 655 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,479 Speaker 2: for COVID, even if you were an athlete and had 656 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 2: no idea you didn't get COVID, you had COVID, you 657 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 2: were not allowed to play in the game and you 658 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 2: had to isolate yourself. You weren't even allowed in the 659 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 2: facility if you tested positive for COVID. They canceled games 660 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 2: because too many guys testing positive. Again, no symptoms. Patrick Mahomes, 661 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 2: they loaded him up with ivs. He was super sick 662 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 2: and were right back to now, it would not be 663 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 2: good if you're sick, you should still go out there 664 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 2: and perform. So the Jordan flu game, which you remember, 665 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 2: is like iconic. Jordan was so sick he still played 666 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 2: well back in the day. Sorry for people in Utah, 667 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 2: reminding you of that series. Now we're back to, oh, 668 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 2: if you've got the flu, which is actually way more 669 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 2: dangerous to young people than COVID on an average basis. 670 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 3: Now you just go right back out and you play. 671 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 3: I'm fine with it. 672 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 2: I just think all the people who told us that 673 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,919 Speaker 2: you couldn't play when you had COVID, and all these 674 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 2: athletes didn't even know that they had COVID they were 675 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 2: testing positive. Now we're a couple of years later, right 676 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 2: back to oh, you've got the flu, We'll throw some 677 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 2: IVS in you, and you'll go out and play. Nobody 678 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 2: talks about the health of other teammates getting the flu. 679 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 2: Nobody talking about coaches or officials. Nobody cares. All of 680 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 2: a sudden, again, well, what about all these people who 681 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 2: told us that we were all gonna die if they 682 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 2: played because they had COVID. Also, what about all the 683 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,760 Speaker 2: math sking that could save so many lives play? Remember 684 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 2: that they'll save so many lives if they mask up. 685 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 2: And now, all of a sudden, em it's kind of like, yeah, 686 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 2: it does not really masking anymore. I mean, for the 687 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 2: people that ever did. 688 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 3: It, I always hated it. 689 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 2: Pumped and recognized it was idiotic, but yeah, it's because 690 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 2: it was a fashion for a lot of people. And 691 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 2: by the way, fashion producer Alli pointing out Buck two, 692 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: if your kid or your spouse had COVID, you were 693 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 2: not supposed to go out either. Remember that it wasn't 694 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 2: even just like even if they had no symptoms and 695 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 2: even if they felt fine, you had to basically lock 696 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,240 Speaker 2: down your entire household if you had a mild cold, 697 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 2: not even a cold. A lot of people out there 698 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 2: have had way worse, worse colds than they did COVID. 699 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 2: I hope it's just Spoucheet with his honorary degree, they 700 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:48,760 Speaker 2: thank him for our trial run of biomedical communism
