1
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The Democrats great Green

2
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: Leap Forward is laid out today and wow, is it

3
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: a dumpster fire of toxic waste COO two fumes and

4
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: all kinds of pollutants. It is a mess. We'll talk

5
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: about why the left seems to think that social justice, socialism,

6
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: and the environment have to go together. Also updates on

7
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: the mess in Virginia with the Democrat Party, and so

8
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: much more coming up on The buck Sexton Show. This

9
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission

10
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: no mistake American, You're a great American. Again. The buck

12
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: Sexton Show begins. Analyston No. One reason that people who

13
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: are politically conservative are skeptical of efforts to combat climate

14
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: change is that it sounds to them like it requires

15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: massive government intervention, which they just don't like. Are you

16
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: prepared to put on the table that, yes, actually they're

17
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: right what this requires as massive government intervention? Does it does? Yeah?

18
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: I have no problem saying that. Why because we have

19
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: tried their approach for forty years. For forty years, we

20
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: tried to let the private sector take care of it.

21
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: They said, we got this. We can do this. The

22
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: forces of the market are going to force us to innovate.

23
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: Government is not just for cleaning up other people's mess,

24
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: but it's also for building solutions in places where the

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: private sector will not Welcome to the buck Sexton show man,

26
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: I love it when we actually get Democrats talking policy.

27
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: This is going to be fun, folks. Strap in, you're

28
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: in for a while ride. Alexandria Occasio Cortez unveiled her

29
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: Green New Deal proposal today in a resolution and out

30
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: the Congress, and it is one of the most bizarre, overreaching, deluded, insane, stupid,

31
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: just wild documents I have ever read in my life.

32
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: It is as though somebody went through the comments section

33
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: of the Daily Coast, the Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, and CNN

34
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: and came up with some sort of a patchwork pieced

35
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: together Frankenstein left wing overhaul of everything everything I'm talking

36
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: all the way down to air travel and car a car. Gosh,

37
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: cow farts. I can't even get I can't even get

38
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: the words out. It's so wild. You gotta read this thing.

39
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a little it's it's fourteen pages long.

40
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: It won't take it won't take you much time you

41
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: read this. This Green New Deal, which you've been hearing

42
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: about for a while, is full of some of the dumbest,

43
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: the dumbest stuff I've ever read that's supposedly going to

44
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: be policy. I mean, there is something for everybody to

45
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: make fun of it. Here they want, Here we go.

46
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: I'll give you some of this from the text of

47
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: it itself. To promote justice. Remember this is supposed to

48
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: be about the environment. To promote justice and equity by

49
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: stopping current, preventing future, and repairing historic oppression of indigenous communities,

50
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: communities of color, migrant communities, de industrialized communities, depopulated rural communities,

51
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: the poor, low and co workers, women, the elderly, the unhoused,

52
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: people with disabilities, and youth and youth, and it just

53
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: goes on and on and on. Repairing an upgraded infrastructure

54
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: in the United States by eliminating pollution and greenhouse gas emissions,

55
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: guaranteeing universal access to clean water, reducing the risks posed

56
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: by flooding and other climate change impacts, Ensuring any infrastructure

57
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: bill considered by Congress addresses climate change, which just means

58
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: that there'll never be an infrastructure bill that's going to

59
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: get through anything meeting one hundred percent of the power

60
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: demand in the United States through clean, renewable and zero

61
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: emission energy sources. I there's so much here. It's a

62
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: magnificent monument to left wing idiocy. This is the Eiffel

63
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: Power of stupid progressive This is the Mount Rushmore of

64
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 1: liberal lunacy. Wow. I had some fun reading through this today.

65
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: None of it makes any sense. There's stuff in there

66
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: about and by the way we have it deserves to

67
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: be ridiculed. But then it also deserves to be taken

68
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: seriously because about twenty percent of the country is on

69
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: board for this stuff, maybe more like twenty five or

70
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: thirty percent, which is appalling, but that's reality. The liberal

71
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: left buys into all of this, even if they know

72
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: the science doesn't make sense, even if they know that economically,

73
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: this would be our version of Mao's Great Leap Forward,

74
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: which was central planning taken to the max, seemed like

75
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: a good idea to the people in charge, led to

76
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: mass starvation, perhaps as many as sixty million dead, and

77
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: that was in the twenty middle of the twentieth century.

78
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: This would destroy our economy, I mean just destroyed. And

79
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't mean that in oh, it would it would

80
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: reduce GDP by a point or two, which would be

81
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: really bad. But oh no, no, no, no, if we

82
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: did this stuff that they're saying we should do in here,

83
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: we would be a much poorer country, with much less

84
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: with much less wealth to go around for anyone. I

85
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: was somewhat flabbergasted reading through this thing today. I was

86
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: trying to find a way to not kind of laugh

87
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: but also have a little bit of unease at this

88
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: is the this is the leading light of the Democrat

89
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: Party right now putting this forward. It addresses the need

90
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: to eliminate cow farts. It says that we should have

91
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: high speed rail to replace airplane travel. Oh so, as

92
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: Mazie Harrono, arguably the dumbest woman in Congress. But I

93
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I think there's some competition. Mazie Harono from

94
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: Hawaii says, what about Hawaii. It's gonna have to be

95
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: quite an infrastructure project to get high speed rail to

96
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Hawaii from the mainland. Now, you could say, buck well,

97
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: they don't think they're really going to eliminate this, or

98
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: they're not going to get to one hundred percent. These

99
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: are targets, These are goals. Well, then why are you

100
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: releasing this as a policy statement. No one is forcing

101
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: the social justice green left to tie all this stuff

102
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: together and to just make this proclamation that is untethered

103
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: from reality. Untethered from reality. I mean, it's quite a read.

104
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: It is quite a read. Indeed, Um, I want here

105
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: here's some some more of what she had to say

106
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: about this. That of course it's massive government intervention. This

107
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: is why the left loves this. The environment all of

108
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: a sudden turns into an excuse for them to control

109
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: everything about your life, all of your economic decisions, everything

110
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: that's going on with you. And if you're opposed to

111
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: what you're a bad person who wants kids to drink

112
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: toxic waste sludge and people to die from, you know,

113
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: inhaling chemicals. You see, one of the one of the

114
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: tricks that they pull with this is by pretending they

115
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: create a massive straw man in this argument. Nobody, nobody

116
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: wants to live in a country or live in a

117
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: world where you can't breathe the air, you can't drink

118
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: any water, there's no good you know, there's no food

119
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: to eat, or I mean, this is just this is

120
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: some fake argument that they offer up that everybody that

121
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: thinks that their ideas are crazy, and they are crazy,

122
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: and this is this is I disagree with them. This

123
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: is their nuts. This is the green left wing Democrats

124
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: are bonkers. But they act like you and I for

125
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: our mere skepticism over this. Don't walk clean water, don't

126
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: want clean air. I'm all about. I think conservation is great.

127
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: I think being good stewards of the environment is important.

128
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: I think that anti pollution efforts are important. I don't

129
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: think that CO two is a pollutant, however, and I

130
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: don't think that dramatically changing the lifeblood of our economy,

131
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: which is fossil fuel energy, that is just a fact,

132
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: in order to try and mitigate the effects of point

133
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: one percent of the atmospheres increase or decrease. I don't

134
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: think that that is what any sane person should do.

135
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: And I know that this will have massive cost, and

136
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: this will have tremendous negative long term effect on growth

137
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: but also on human freedom. This is what Ocazio Cortez

138
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: doesn't get because she's she's an ignoramus. I mean she is,

139
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: and I don't try to be mean, you know, I

140
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: think that we'll talk later. I mean Elizabeth Warren is

141
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: a fraud, but she's not an imbecile. I think actually

142
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: Ocasio Cortez is borderline borderline imbecile. I mean, not a

143
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: smart person, a brilliant show person, a brilliant you know,

144
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: political theater actor, but not somebody who's really thought through

145
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: any of this stuff. Just doesn't know anything, just doesn't

146
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: know anything. And the Democrats listen to her like she's

147
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: the Queen Bee. She's the single most beloved Democrat by

148
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: the media in the United States right now. She's been

149
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: in Congress for all of a month, and she comes

150
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: out with this plan that any adult who's trying to

151
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: be reasonable and sane would would say is crazy. I mean,

152
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: this is a crazy But why would you do this?

153
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: Why I put out such a crazy plan? And why

154
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: is it about removing oppression from indigenous people's What does

155
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: that have to do with climate change? There's so much here,

156
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean you, there's so much wrong that it really

157
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: is hard to know where to start. But at a

158
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: at a strategic level, at a thirty thousand foot view,

159
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: you look down this you realize, oh, this is just

160
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: this is just the pathway to socialism, and instead of

161
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: the reds they're the Greens. I mean, this is just

162
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: using the environment as a means of mobilizing people to

163
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: the same ends that are not just socialists, but that

164
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: communists did. This is really more, This is really more

165
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: borderline commy attitude about the economy, because this is full

166
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: state control. This is revolutionary central committee planning. This is

167
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: scary stuff. And they tell us that we should be

168
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: worried about Trump's tax returns. We have so much to

169
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: work with here. And I would just note that, you know,

170
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: Democrats are largely lining up behind this. They are saying

171
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: that this is there's some good ideas in this, and

172
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: they're going to be very prickly about conservatives like me

173
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: saying that this is this is an indication of the

174
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: lack of intellectual seriousness that left wing policy has devolved into,

175
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: but also the incredibly grandiose status ambitions of a left

176
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: to just control everything in your life, to just be

177
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: in charge of everything, to use the environment as the

178
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: catch all and the cure all, to take care, to

179
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: take care of everything by taking all power into their hands.

180
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: So it's hilarious terrifying at the same time. And we

181
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: will spend more of our time this hour on some

182
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: of the details here, and what's some other Democrats and

183
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: other prominent voices are saying about this eight four four

184
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: five eight four four nine hundred buck. If you want

185
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: to chat about the Green New Deal, take a couple

186
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: of calls this hour and we have more on this

187
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. So you're saying, borrow the money,

188
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: make the investment, the economy will grow, we'll pay off

189
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: the debt. Absolutely because we're creating jobs. Although I do

190
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: have to say you mentioned the Republican tax cut. They

191
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: said the same thing about the tax cut. Let's do

192
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: this tax cut. The economy will grow, it's going to

193
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: be great, it's going to pay for itself. Hasn't turned

194
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: out to be true at all. Absolutely, And I think

195
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: that that is an important distinction to make because when

196
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: they were advancing that cause, they had no evidence to

197
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: say that these things were going to happen. But we

198
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: actually do have the evidence. Forever one dollar invested in infrastructure,

199
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: we get six dollars back. That's one of the dumbest

200
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: things I've ever heard. Where does she even get we

201
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: get six dollars back for every dollary? Is she not

202
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: familiar with some of the public works projects across this

203
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: country that have cost billions of dollars still aren't even finished.

204
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: And does she not know what it was like to

205
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: try to even get the Second Avenue subway built in

206
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: New York City, the big dig in Boston. You look

207
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: at this stuff, and any normal rational person comes away saying, yeah,

208
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of boondoggles and a lot of wasted money,

209
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: and every one dollar we spend on infrastructure, well, then

210
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: we could just become rich by spending, you know, trillions

211
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: and trillions of dollars on infrastructure projects. But this is

212
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: kind of the Obama school of economics. We'll just we'll

213
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: make people, We'll make the country rich by paying people

214
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: to do jobs that we don't really need anyone to do,

215
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: but the government will do it. We'll take money from

216
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: the taxpayer. So there you go. It doesn't really work

217
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: that way. Kim Strassol on this whole Green New Deal

218
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: thing has a pretty great thread that I wanted to

219
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: share with you before we get in some more of

220
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: this and then also the immigration debate coming up. Here's

221
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: what our friend Kim Strasso writes from the Wall Street Journal.

222
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: By the end of the Green New Deal resolution and

223
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: accompanying fact sheet. I was laughing so hard I nearly cried.

224
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: If a bunch of goopiers plotted to forge a fake

225
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could

226
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: not have done a better job. It is beautiful. Take

227
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: a look at Ron Bailey to see the sheer numbers

228
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: of turbines, solar panels, and facilities necessary just for the

229
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: renewable electricity bit. You need five hundred kilometers five hundred thousand,

230
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: sorry square kilometers, bigger than California. Also note that government

231
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: will pay for these, not the private sector. Also, AOC

232
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: would put charging stations everywhere, Upgrade or tear down every

233
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: building in the country, homes and businesses, install high speed

234
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: rail across every state, Upgrade all of our infrastructure. Yeah,

235
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: that's right. She actually wants to replace every building in

236
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: the country with a more green friendly structure. Think about that, everyone,

237
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: tear down every building in the country and replace it

238
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: with an environmentally friendly structure. This is nuts. Somehow, government

239
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: run healthcare, family, sustainable wages, paid leave, and affordable housing

240
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: are also required for a clean economy. I would love

241
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: to understand this logic and imagine what wages will need

242
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: to need to be paid for billion dollars per kilowatt electricity.

243
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: Key part, though, is in fact the sheet that explains

244
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: why the resolution is not immediately banning fossil fuels or

245
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: demanding zero emissions across the economy because quote, we aren't

246
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: sure that we'll be able to fully get rid of

247
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: farting cows and airplanes that fast. That's right, they use

248
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: the word fully, and farting planes run on fossil fuels,

249
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: No fossil fuel, no visits to granny cows produce methane.

250
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: Why alarmists want to get rid of livestock? She can't

251
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: do it fully in ten years. But AOC is coming

252
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: after your air miles and your bacon. This is honesty

253
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: about how democrats would micromanage your private life and how

254
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: to pay for mass trillions in costs. Don't worry, Frederal

255
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: Reserve will just extend credit, and new public banks can

256
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: be created to extend credit too, because you know, like

257
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: money is just paper, and how hard can it be

258
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: to make some more of the stuff? Right, Okay, back

259
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: to laughing Kim Strassel there, Wall Street Journal. I mean,

260
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, Kim gets it right. It's it's amazing, it's

261
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: amazing when you read this thing and it's it's funny.

262
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: It's kind of like what the media had to do

263
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: after the Elizabeth Warren DNA debacle. I am one one

264
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: thousand and twenty fourth native American, so yeah, I'm native American,

265
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren says, and the media was like, WHOA, she

266
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: has provided DNA results, so let's take her word for it. No,

267
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: and they're trying to make this proposal from AOC sounds serious.

268
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: The problem with that is it is impossible. It is

269
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: impossible to do more on this in just a moment. Guys, today,

270

290
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: offer expires Friday. The five warmest years have been the

291
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: last five years. And this is not from some conspiracy

292
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: group or anything like this. This is from NASA and Noah.

293
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: You know, these are government organizations cast with keeping track

294
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: of this. I think if we all disappeared like this,

295
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: the Earth would go back and just be fine, you know,

296
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: whatever cyclits on, whatever, if it's warm, if it's cold,

297
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: I think it just goes back to doing its thing.

298
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: But we all live here. Yeah, human beings are the problem,

299
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: you see, They always revert back to this at the route.

300
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: There's a kind of hatred of humanity that is animating

301
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: a lot of this climate change alarmism. We are the problem.

302
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: The presence of human beings on this planet despoils it.

303
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: You know, we're we're the issue here and we need

304
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: to change radically because of all the bad stuff that

305
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: we do. I take a different view, which is that

306
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: the planet exists for us, that we are the only

307
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: sentient beings on the planet, and the planet is here

308
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: to support us, and we should use it for our advantage.

309
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean that the river should be, you know,

310
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: flowing with toxic waste, but it does mean that we

311
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: should use the planet. It's here, It is here for us.

312
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: But the Left is just just wacko on this stuff.

313
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: They really are. You know, this idea that the five

314
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: warmest years on record of the last five years and

315
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: this is all over. I think a one point four

316
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: degree warming last year as compared to the year before. Yeah,

317
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: one point four degrees higher than the average in the

318
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: twentieth century. They are they are raising the alarm about

319
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: the end of humanity and the extinction of the human

320
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: race because of a one point four degree change in

321
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: average temperature compared to the last one hundred years. The

322
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: Earth is a few billion years old, you know, however

323
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: many billions it is. We only have temperature readings for

324
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: the last hundred years. This would be like looking at

325
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: a beach and looking at one grain of sand and saying, well,

326
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: what I can tell you about every other grain of

327
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: sand is that this one is this size, and so

328
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: all the other ones have to be the same size. No,

329
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: that's not true. You're looking at a very very very

330
00:21:54,680 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: small data sample and drawing in nor misconclusions from it.

331
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean, just making vast oversimplifications of what you can

332
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: learn from the data. But I would note that AOC

333
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: is not the only one who finds this climate alarmism

334
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: approach to be the way she wants to go. Pelosi

335
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: also gets it on this blake Leby yesterday, As I mentioned,

336
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: I pointed the Select Committee on Climate. I said, this

337
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: Select Committee will have a leading role in taking testimony

338
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: building current information on solutions to the climate crisis. There's

339
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: all kinds of ideas coming for we welcome all of

340
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: them as they highlight the importance of this existential threat

341
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: to the planet. It's a national security issue when it

342
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: comes to preventing climate driven instability, it's an economic and jobs, jobs,

343
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: jobs issue of making good paying jobs, making America, keeping

344
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: America pre eminent and green technologies in the world. And

345
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: it is that in my view of moral responsibility, if

346
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: you believe as to why that this planet is God's creation,

347
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: and we have a moral responsibility because stewards of it

348
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: just blather piled on top of claptrap, laid a top

349
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: more blather. Wow, Pelosi, existential threat to the planet. I

350
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: don't know how anybody really believes this, although I do

351
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: think that you have a kind of unholy alliance here

352
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: between the very cynical, power hungry left that realizes that

353
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: once you buy into this constructs of climate as possibly

354
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: going to end humanity, that this is an existential issue,

355
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: that all human life is going to end unless you

356
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: put them in power, they're willing to just go along

357
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: with it. But you also do have a sizeable contingent

358
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: of the Democrat usually democrat atheists left as well. They

359
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: really bind us. Although I have seen more and more

360
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: of these left wing Christian types who are coming forward

361
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: saying that climate change is a climate change is a

362
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: Christian issue, you know that, like like Jesus wants you

363
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: to take a bicycle to work and not drive a car.

364
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I do hear the social justice Christian left

365
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: say this stuff, and I get very frustrated the Pope.

366
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: The Pope has said stuff about climate change, which what

367
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: the heck is he doing? He's got bigger problems. I

368
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: think he saw some of the news today, you know

369
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: about more sex abuse and more terrible stuff going on

370
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: in the Catholic Church. But that's a conversation for another time.

371
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: Pelosi says this is an existential threat. I don't think

372
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: she believes that at all, not one bit. But it

373
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: plays well to her looney left wing base, and it

374
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: also opens the door to allow Democrats to try to

375
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: gained the moral high ground after a month where they've

376
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: been pushing socialism, which always remember, is based on the

377
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: state seizing your property under threat of force and giving

378
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: it to other people and infanticide, which as much as

379
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: people can try to tell me that that is not

380
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: what they were supporting, that's not what Northham was supporting,

381
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: That's not what Tran in Virginia was supporting. No, it

382
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: was what they were We can we can listen, We

383
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: can read, we can hear, we know that is what

384
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: they were supporting. And it just shows you the deep

385
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: moral abyss that the Democrat Democrat Party has not just

386
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: fallen into, but has embraced. Now there's a kind of

387
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: pride in their in humanity and in the sinfulness of

388
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: many of their policies and much of their decision making

389
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: that should be unsettling to to anybody paying attention. But

390
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: I said we would take some calls. So Chris in

391
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: a Virginia all came my friend, Yes, yes, you're on

392
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: the radio. Okay. I was just gonna say, you're referring

393
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: to everything as fossil fuels. UM, I think not necessarily

394
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: to take the wind out of their sales or says,

395
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: I prefer to call them hydrocarbons. UM. I work in

396
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: the aviation industry and we're actually moving away from standard

397
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: aircraft fuel to swift fuel, which is in the future.

398
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: It's not here yet, but it's renewable, it's made from

399
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: bio waste, etc. Um. Plus, you know the hydrates in

400
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: the in the CO two that come up and blend

401
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: below the first crust are also hydrocarbons. It's not necessarily

402
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: fossil fuel. Um, okay, is that it? I just you know,

403
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to you know, they keep to say

404
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: fossil fuel, fossil fuel, fossil fuel, and we only have

405
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: a limited amount, but there is more. I mean, it's

406
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: being generated, and it's being made naturally and man made.

407
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: It's not like we're going to run out anytime soon.

408
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: You know. It's I think they're pointing as the fossil

409
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: fuel is kind of the straw man argument. All righty,

410
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: thanks for calling in my friend. Yeah, fossil fuels are

411
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: are a type of hydrocarbon, so yeah, hydrocarbon is a

412
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: broader categorization. But this then brings me to any of

413
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: you who are looking for a book to read, if

414
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: you if you care about it, and it's it's a

415
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: great it's a history, and it's a really well written book.

416
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: But Daniel Jurgen's The Prize is a history of the

417
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: oil industry, but a great book. I'm actually about to

418
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: start reading a book on the history of salt, so

419
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: I find these things to be very I read a

420
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: book years ago, the history of chocolate. I like to

421
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: learn about these things. But The Prize is a fantastic book.

422
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: One thing you learn the history of hydrocarbons, which includes

423
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: fossil fuels, is that we are not we are naturally

424
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: decarbonizing in our fuel usage. So you look at what

425
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: they would call, you know, dirtier, more CO two, but

426
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: but heavier burning and less efficient fuel sources. Okay, wood burning.

427
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: Then you go to and at one point it was

428
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: whale oil was really they preferred fuel for lighting and

429
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: for lamps and things. Obviously, killing a whale to get

430
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: to its SAT is not a particularly efficient way to

431
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: do things, and it's going to run out fast. It's

432
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: gonna be very expensive. But then we moved on to coal,

433
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: and then you had the Industrial Revolution largely powered by coal, right,

434
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Industrial Revolution brought to you by coal power.

435
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: And then from coal we moved to oil and gasoline,

436
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: and then from gasoline we have moved to increasingly toward

437
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: natural gas. And our caller just brought up some of

438
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: the new fuels that are based on renewable technology. I'm

439
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: not opposed. This is another place where the argument kind

440
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: of breaks down and the left doesn't deal with what's

441
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: really happening. I am not opposed to solar energy. I'm

442
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: not opposed to although as I like to say, the

443
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: wind turbines, they are queising arts for migratory foul. You know,

444
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: they just get chopped up in a little pieces. It's

445
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: really bad. Actually, it kills a lot of birds. Those

446
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: big wind turbines are killing birds all all over the place.

447
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: So for people that are big stewards in the environment,

448
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, you don't necessarily want to shred all of

449
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: our bald eagles with these stupid wind turbines. But those

450
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: are especially when you get into solar and the grid

451
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: and the storage technology for it. If those technologies were there,

452
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: we would already be using it in much larger numbers.

453
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: That Okay, Cortez is little green energy debacle, the the

454
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: Green New Deal, which it goes so far beyond the

455
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: environment and energy too. It's you know, and we want this,

456
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: and we want that, and throw this other thing in

457
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: and social justice. But that it doesn't it doesn't make

458
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: mention of nuclear power, which is the cleanest and by

459
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: far the most on an efficiency basis. Nuclear power really

460
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: blows everything else away. But the left gets very scared

461
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: about that. Oh there'll be you know, meltdowns and things,

462
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: things will happen, and nuclear waste. It's it's pretty amazing

463
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: that they don't deal with that, and in fact they

464
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: move in Europe away from nuclear power has resulted in

465
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: much higher energy costs and as you know, gasoline there

466
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: is much more expensive than it is here. But these

467
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: processes are naturally occurring through technology, and this is are

468
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: we are d The world is decarbonizing our energy sources.

469
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: That is happening, and it has been happening for over

470
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: one hundred year year. So when people do these projections

471
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: for what our fossil fuel use or sorry, hydrocarbon usage

472
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: is going to be for the next fifty years, they

473
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: don't know because in five years there'll be technologies that

474
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: are more efficient than what we have now. The problem

475
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: comes with the central planning aspect of this. Industries and

476
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: different applications of the technologies that we have will adopt

477
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: them when they make sense, they will adopt them when

478
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: they are cost effective. That's going and the people that

479
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: are doing the r and D, the research and development

480
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: on this are moving as fast as they can based

481
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: upon what the market will bear and what they can

482
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: figure out in terms of the science. But it's going

483
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 1: to happen. I mean, I do believe that by the

484
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: next century we probably will have moved largely beyond hydrocarbons.

485
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: But to try to make us move at five x

486
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: or ten x the speed of that decarbon is a process.

487
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: This is where the mal great leap forward lesson of

488
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: history becomes so relevant. Look at China's success with its economy,

489
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: massive rise in living standards for people, But that would

490
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: have happened without deciding to depopulate the rural areas, move

491
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: everybody into cities and have a famine where sixty million

492
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: people died. You didn't need to suffer through that to

493
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: get to this point of rapid industrialization. This was all

494
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: pushed through central planning. Central planning has a storied legacy

495
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: and history of massive and catastrophic failure, and that is

496
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: one of the biggest lessons of history of the twentieth century.

497
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't think of Kasia Cortez even knows that, and

498
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: I really mean that. I don't think if you asked

499
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: her what are the great failures of central planning the

500
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: twentieth century, would she even be able to come up with, Oh,

501
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, the Soviet Union or Communist China, or

502
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: go down the list. Oh, it wasn't a failure of

503
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: central planning. It was just a failure of the implementation

504
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: of central planning. And thus the argument that we had

505
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: thought perhaps we defeated in the early nineteen nineties is

506
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: back in full force courtesy of a twenty eight year

507
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: old former bartender from New York City. We will be

508
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: right back. This is a story that just broke as

509
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: we were on air here. It's it's a it's a doozy.

510
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: So Jeff Bezos is the founder and CEO of Amazon,

511
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: one of the three or four most valuable companies on

512
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: planet Earth. And look, it's a company that I love.

513
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. I use it all

514
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: the time. It's it makes life. It just makes life

515
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: more convenient and more efficient, There's no doubt about it.

516
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: Bezos has a relationship with the woman that he is

517
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: now is his girlfriend. He left his wife, and there

518
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: have been these reports that mister Bezos had taken had

519
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: sent racy text messages, including what we will call lower

520
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: area of photography, and had shared this with his dead

521
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: mistress now girlfriend. You know, this is increasingly a common thing.

522
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: More and more people with their significant other loved one, wife, husband, whatever,

523
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: will do this. A lot of you are like it's crazy.

524
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: You should not, but it is a more common thing.

525
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: And apparently the it's becoming more common thing, I should say.

526
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: And the Washington Post, which Bezos owns, means that he's

527
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: obviously disliked by a lot of folks because they think

528
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: that he's going after them with the Post, which I

529
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: would say he probably is at some level, but let's

530
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: put that aside for a moment. Ami, which publishes the

531
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: National Enquirer, sent a letter to Bezos essentially telling him

532
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: to tell the Washington Post to change their coverage of

533
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: something involving the National Enquirer. And there's some political angle

534
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: to it, and they said, essentially, you tell your Washington

535
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: Post to back off, or we're going to publish these

536
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: these photos of mister Bezos's manhood, so to speak. And

537
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: Bezos has published this on medium and has gone public

538
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: with the exchange and is calling it blackmail and extortion.

539
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, messing with Bezos, you know, once

540
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: you start going after guys who not only own a

541
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: major media outlet that they can hit you back with,

542
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: but also have billions and billions and billions of dollars

543
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: at your disposal, you know. Peter Teal showed us what

544
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: can happen with Gawker, and I cheered Peter Teal burning

545
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: Gawker to the ground. It was one of the most

546
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: wonderful things anyone's done in the media industry in a

547
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: long time, because Gawker was a disgusting, trashy you know,

548
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: National Enquirer is I mean, I read that email reads

549
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: like blackmail. I know a lot of you don't like Bezos,

550
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: and that's on. I don't likes politics either, but it

551
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: reads like blackmail to me, and he's gone public with it.

552
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: This is gonna get very interesting and he's gonna he's

553
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: gonna fight. So I do think, by the way, we're

554
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot more mister Bezos any day now

555
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: than we had intended. Be prepared for that. Ladies, shield

556
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: your eyes. But if you remember the show The Wire,

557
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: you come at Jeff Bezos you best not miss And

558
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: I think the National Inquirer may have missed on this one.

559
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: We got a big hour or two coming up with

560
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: immigration talk. Stay with me. It is the most delicious,

Speaker 1: gets your day started the right way. My friends at

Speaker 1: Black Rifle Coffee. To protect the dignity and worth of

582
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: every person, my administration has taken historic action to combat

583
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: human trafficking. Last year, I directed the State Department to

584
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: cut off development aid to nations that do not demonstrate

585
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: a commitment to ending human trafficking in their own countries.

586
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: And we are fighting every day to stop the tragedy

587
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: of human trafficking all along our southern border. Together we

588
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: will end discourge of modern day slavery. Human trafficking is

589
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: a terrible thing and a lot of people suffer as

590
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: a result of it. Human trafficking in this country is

591
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: up because at our southern border there are a lot

592
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: of people that are being brought there who don't have

593
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 1: the money to pay, and so they are sexually assaulted

594
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: and exploited by the coyotes who are backed by the cartels,

595
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: which means that there's not going to be any government

596
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 1: or police reprisals against them that are likely to happen.

597
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: People get sold into essentially slavery in this country to

598
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: pay off their debt to the cartels. And remember, you know,

599
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: cartels have a lot more ability to strike at people

600
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: that are illegals who come into this country because if

601
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: they if there are any family members left behind, the

602
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: cartel knows that in Mexico or in Central America, they

603
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: can get to them very easily. So it's not like

604
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: somebody's safe and out of jeopardy once they get into America,

605
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 1: because you know, this was always true. Also, I worked

606
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: with a guy who spent his whole career when I

607
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: was at the NYPD, he dealt with Russian organized crime,

608
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: and he said, would you have to know about the

609
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: Russian organized crime is that they just want to make

610
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: money in this country. For the most part, they're willing

611
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: to be brutal, but they're particularly willing to be brutal

612
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: against Russians with family back home, back in the mother country.

613
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: So you know, if you stand the way of the

614
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: Russian organized crime community in you know, the New York area,

615
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: and you're you're yourself Russian, you know they go after

616
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: your family back in Russia. That's that the cartels can

617
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 1: operate that way too, which changes which changes the calculation

618
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: for a lot of people and gives the cartels much

619
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: more power over individuals that are brought into the country illegally.

620
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: But here's here's a story that you will not hear

621
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: from many folks today because you know, we've we've essentially

622
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: dismantled one of the open borders Democrat you know, left

623
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: wing talking points that they love the most. I mean,

624
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: we have effectively pulled apart the walls don't work line.

625
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: We may not get a wall, but at least we

626
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: don't have to listen to idiots for the rest of

627
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: eternity chant who don't work well, don't work. As if

628
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: that's not the dumbest thing I've ever ever heard. I mean,

629
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: it really is very It feels very similar to saying

630
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: water isn't wet, water isn't wet. It's like, well, I

631
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,959
Speaker 1: think you're just wrong. Walls work and water is wet.

632
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: But there's another talking point that you will often hear

633
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: another talking point from the left on immigration that I

634
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: think is one that has never You know, you don't

635
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: have to get too deep into the data. I try

636
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: to dive into the data a bit, but you don't

637
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: have to do that. You actually can just think this

638
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: through and you find yourself coming to the conclusion that

639
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: this talking point is wrong. And the talking point is

640
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: that even illegal aliens commit less crime than native born

641
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: Americans of all ethnic backgrounds, so Hispanic, black, white, Asian,

642
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: that illegal aliens commit less crimes. Now, any of you

643
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: who have a familiarity with local crime stats scenarias where

644
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of legal aliens. When you add in

645
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: death caused by drunk driving, gang violence including MS thirteen

646
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 1: gang violence, terrible sexual assaults including some very high profile

647
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: sexual assaults, and very young girls by illegal aliens. I mean,

648
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: this stuff happens. It happens, and happens. We see it

649
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: across the country. The media tries very hard to and

650
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: all do credit to and culture on this because she's

651
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 1: really raised the alarm out it. The media always says,

652
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, North Carolina man attacks twelve year old girl.

653
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: And then when you're reading the story, you know, the

654
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: guy comes from Mexico or somewhere in Central America, Latin America,

655
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: and he's an legal alien, but he's a North Carolina man.

656
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: Is how they refer to him in the headline. And

657
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 1: you have to dig and in some of the stories

658
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: they won't even mention his illegal status. In fact, a

659
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: lot of them they'll just skip over that as though

660
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. The idea that illegal aliens commit crime

661
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: at a lower rate than native born Americans does not

662
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: make sense. It does not make sense. You think about this.

663
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: These are people that are coming here, they're already breaking

664
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: the law. They're in desperate circumstances. They are as by

665
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 1: they always say, they're pushed into the shadows. They can't

666
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: operate openly in the normal economy, and they're going to

667
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: be more law abiding than the rest of US. Now

668
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 1: I could I could tell you that if you add

669
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: in document fraud, marriage, fraud, lyne to federal authorities, and

670
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: they commit a lot of crimes that they're just not

671
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: prosecuted for because the immigration authorities don't have the bandwidth

672
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: the prosecute them for it. But I've also always said

673
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: that this doesn't strike me as as plausible that in

674
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: a broader sense they are more law abiding than than

675
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: average day to day Americans. And so there's this this

676
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: organization fair fair us dot org. I want to read

677
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: you this piece, and this was shared today by Jessica

678
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: Vaughan who was at the Center for Immigration Studies, who

679
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: all she does is dig into the data, as she

680
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: knows the stuff really well, and this is just debunking

681
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: looking at the data and debunking the claim. Let me

682
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: read you a little bit from this piece. For decades,

683
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: open borders proponents have parroted the narrative that illegal aliens

684
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: commit less crime than native board citizens. However, this claim

685
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: typically rests on studies that manipulate the data in order

686
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: to support the fictitious illegal aliens equals less crime narrative.

687
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: Why are the majority of studies of illegal alien criminality

688
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: so flawed? First, illegal immigrant crime calculations conveniently and invariably

689
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: steal a base by leaving out the millions of crimes

690
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: committed by illegal immigrants related to procuring fraudulent social security numbers,

691
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: driver's licenses, that's what I said, right, and improperly accessing

692
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: public benefits. That error is then compounded when researchers intentionally

693
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: elect to leave out broad classes of crime, for example

694
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: drug offenses, as the Cato Institute frequently does. Secondly, most

695
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: federal and state local government agencies do not collect data

696
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: on the at which illegal aliens are convicted of crimes.

697
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: This is due to political correctness, most likely, and a

698
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: desire to keep the truth about the number of crimes

699
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: committed by illegal aliens from coming to light. Unfortunately, almost

700
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: every public official not named Jeff Sessions guards against disclosure

701
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrant related crime more tenaciously than disclosure of

702
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: nuclear launch codes. And then, finally, most researchers tend to

703
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: ignore the few established sources that provide data on crime

704
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: criminal acts by known illegal aliens. They point to all

705
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: types of alleged and typically baseless flaws in this data,

706
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: ranging from limited sample size to an inability to determine

707
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: whether illegal aliens are being counted more than once. This

708
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 1: is essentially just lots of lies and smears to undermine

709
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: the data so to get an accurate accurate count of

710
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: the data. Here this is how fair has fai R

711
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: has researched this information. They analyzed incarceration data from the

712
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: federal government State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, compared it to

713
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: public records of state and local prisons. They look at

714
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: state entities and the US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement looking

715
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: to obtain reimbursement for costs associated with incarcerating legal aliens,

716
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: the rate at which a state seeks, etc. I mean,

717
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 1: they get as deep into the existing data as they

718
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: possibly can. And here is a summary of the findings

719
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: of this all Right, in all of these reporting states

720
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: along the southern border reporting interior states that are preferred

721
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: destinations for unlawful immigrants, illegal aliens are incarceed incarcerated at

722
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: a much higher rate than citizens and lawfully present aliens.

723
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: The data indicates that illegal aliens are typically at least

724
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: three times as likely to be incarcerated than citizens and

725
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: lawfully present aliens. The program only includes illegal aliens who

726
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: have at some point been convicted of a crime. The

727
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: only reasonable conclusions that illegal aliens must commit crimes at

728
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: a higher rate than citizens are lawfully present aliens. You

729
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: know this is you know, they break down the numbers

730
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 1: here for you, And I'm trying to do a quick

731
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: overview of all of this, and I think it's fascinating

732
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: because we already knew this, didn't we I mean, this

733
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: isn't in any meaningful way surprising, is it. I mean,

734
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: you knew that illegal aliens, just based on what you

735
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: see going on all the time, commit crimes at a

736
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: higher rate than native born Americans, who, of course they

737
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: do by definition, they're willing to commit one crime, and

738
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: then based on the other pressures and realities of their circumstances,

739
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: it just seems much more likely. Is it? A desperate

740
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: people that can't as easily compete in the economy would

741
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: remember this. I'm taking the pro American point of view.

742
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: It's the libs that are always saying illegal aliens are

743
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: more law abiding than Black Americans, more law abiding than

744
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: white Americans, more law abiding. They take the illegal aliens

745
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: are better than you position, and then they want to

746
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: lecture us for being the bad guys. By state. I

747
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: thought this was really interesting. Me here you go. They

748
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 1: broke it down California. Point they have percentage of citizens,

749
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: lawful immigrants incarcerated point four percent, percentage of illegal aliens

750
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: incarcerated one point five percent, which means that there's a

751
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty one percent chance that illegal aliens

752
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: are more likely to be incarcerted, So essentially over two

753
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: times almost two and a half times in New Jersey,

754
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: four hundred and forty percent more likely that illegal aliens

755
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: are incarcerated than native born Americans or remember native born

756
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: Americans or illegal immigrants in Arizona, three times as likely,

757
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: in Washington, two and a half times as likely in

758
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: New York seven percent, so almost two times as likely.

759
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: You know, they don't keep information on this because they

760
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: don't want you to know what a preposterous scam this

761
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: whole thing is. The government can have all this data

762
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: for you. Think about how easy it is now to

763
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: collect and call, late and share and analyze data. How

764
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: is it that the government doesn't have at its fingertips

765
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: and they simply do not have it? An exact number

766
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: of the illegal aliens in custody, an exact number of

767
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: illegal alien crimes committed in this country felonies. Let's just

768
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: limit it out to felonies, drug or otherwise. They don't

769
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: have that data. You can call bu're a prison, they

770
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: don't have it. You can call state prisons. They don't

771
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: have it. Why not because they don't want to have it. Now,

772
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: what does that tell you about what's really going going

773
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: on here? It tells you that they're lying to you once,

774
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,720
Speaker 1: just like walls don't work. The talking point that illegal

775
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: aliens commit crime at a lower rate than native born

776
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: Americans or legal immigrants is a lie. It's an obvious lie,

777
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: and the people who have been peddling it should be

778
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: ashamed for saying it for so long. But we are

779
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: now in the era of Trump in a position to

780
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: finally look at this and get closer to the truth,

781
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 1: finally break down all these lies, finally have a discussion

782
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 1: about immigration that's based on the reality and not the

783
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: mythology that's created by the left wing open borders Democrat media.

784

804
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: earlier this week we were here and we were hearing

805
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: inside that capitalist state of the Union, and the President

806
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: said something. He said and spoke of the idea that

807
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: he likes quote un quote legal immigration. But that is

808
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:07,919
Speaker 1: a lie. The President does not like any form of immigration.

809
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: And now he is acting asking for five billion dollars

810
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,919
Speaker 1: to continue to militarize and weaponize a force that has

811
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: zero accountability. Not only will we not agree to fund that,

812
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 1: but we're here to say at an agency like ICE,

813
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 1: which repeatedly and systematically violates human rights, does not deserve

814
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: a dime. She's an idiot, But she's scary, isn't she.

815
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: That's what twenty seven, twenty eight year old ignoramus who

816
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: is really the star of the Democrat Party right now.

817
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: She is the closest thing they have to in Obama

818
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: right now in terms of national attention, and she is

819
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 1: thus star of the Democrat Party. Astonishing. These are people

820
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: that always tell us, you know, Trump isn't ready lead.

821
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't have the intelligence and the good sense to

822
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: run this country, and he's gonna oh oh, but but

823
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: Democrats think that Ocazio Cortes should have the nuclear codes.

824
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: This is these people are unseerious, fundamentally unserious people taking

825
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:21,240
Speaker 1: ridiculous positions. But it's also unsettling. It's a bit frightening,

826
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: you know. Okazio Cortes saying here openly that Ice violates

827
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: human rights and does not deserve a dime. That's just

828
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: because she doesn't believe in what Ice does. She does

829
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: not think that there should be interior enforcement. She doesn't

830
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: think that there should be any processing for people that

831
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: come into this country illegally, whether they're requesting asylum or not,

832
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: to make sure that our laws are enforced. She is

833
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: openly advocating lawlessness. And yes, she is in favor of

834
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: open borders. Every Democrat should be asked the question is

835
00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: illegal immigration bad? Yes? Or it's yes or no? Question

836
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: is illegal immigration bad? And if they just say yes,

837
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: they say why. And they can't just say well, because

838
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: the law, because no, they don't agree with the law,

839
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: they don't agree with the enforcement of the law. They

840
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,919
Speaker 1: can't just get away with this circular well, I don't

841
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 1: like it because the law says it's bad, but it's

842
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: actually good, and we shouldn't enforce the law. That's the game.

843
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: They play. It's disgusting though, that she's essentially spitting on

844
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: immigrations and Customs enforcement officers here, people that I've talked

845
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: to and I know and understand the stresses and strain

846
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: that they're under. Says that they systematically violate human rights.

847
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: How do they violate human rights? The family separation policy

848
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: that occurred this past summer, which the media acted like,

849
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: was the American equivalent of concentration camps. I saw what

850
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: they do for these kids. You have border patrol and

851
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: ice agents who are running around acting as delivery boys

852
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: to get food and men us in and clothing and

853
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,399
Speaker 1: you know, and that's not even their job, but that's

854
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: what they do for these illegals who are coming into

855
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: the country. And they're not doing this so that they can,

856
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: you know, start the next google. They want a better life,

857
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: but for a lot of them, a better life is

858
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 1: going to be government benefits. Have a kid here, then

859
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: you're here forever you skip the immigration line. They are

860
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: scamming us. They're scamming us, and Democrats pretend to agree

861
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 1: that this is a problem, but they don't really think

862
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: it is. And that's where this all falls apart. But

863
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 1: I mean Okazio quartet is. Saying that Ice should not

864
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: get a dime is a disgraceful thing to say, and

865
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 1: every Democrat who's running for president should be forced to

866
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: answer whether they agree with her on this and not

867
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: get away with some well, you know, maybe maybe we

868
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: shift Ice or no, no, no, she said, shouldn't get

869
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: a dime. She said, defund immigrations and customs enforcement. That

870
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: should be an absolutely unacceptable and radic position for any

871
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: person who wants to hold higher office in this country,

872
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: including being in Congress. But the left embraces this. They

873
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: seem to think that we're not figuring out what the

874
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 1: game is here. You know, if they don't want to

875
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: enforce the laws and immigration, I don't want to pay

876
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: taxes anymore. How about that? Oh what, I'm not a

877
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: bad guy, doesn't hurt anyone, doesn't hurt any of you.

878
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: If I don't pay my taxes. Nobody could stand in

879
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: front of a court of law and say that Buck

880
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: not paying his taxes would be some great detriment to

881
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: the country. I don't make very much money, So how

882
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: about that? That should be the new rule. If Democrats

883
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: want to have open borders, you know, we should just

884
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: say fine, if you want to if you want to

885
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: open borders, just say that past those laws, and then

886
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: Republicans should say, We're not going to pay income tax anymore.

887
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: Let's see how this country. Let's see how long it floats.

888
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: Virginians will resolve there there issues that they have there.

889
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: It's sad because they have some very panted leaders there.

890
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: But they have to have the confidence of the electorate

891
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: and they have to have the confidence of the legislature

892
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: that they have to work with. But I'll leave that

893
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: up to them. I have enough to do here without

894
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: getting involved in the affairs of Virginia. I think that

895
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: the letter written by the woman reads as a credible account,

896
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: and I think there should be an investigation to get

897
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: to the bottom of it and determine the facts. I

898
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: will at least say that Harris there, Kamela Harris is

899
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: maintaining some standard in this because any Democrat who says

900
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: that there should not be an investigation, you know that

901
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:56,439
Speaker 1: there should not be an investigation of this doctor Tyson. Oh,

902
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: and when do they say doctor? And when do they not?

903
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: For those that are spending a fair amount of time

904
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: reading the news this week, or you know, if you

905
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: have the time if you care to, you really, you

906
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: really learn a lot from this. You learn a lot

907
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: from how it was always doctor Blasi for doctor Blasi

908
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: forge he had a he has a PhD in psychology,

909
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: which you know, okay, now we have somebody else a

910
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: PhD as a professor, and I hear I hear a

911
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: lot of Vanessa Tyson talk and not a lot of doctor.

912
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: It's a subtle thing, but the media understands the power

913
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: of words and the persuasive, persuasive effect of using certain words.

914
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: Trust me when they omit, because I remember when they

915
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: were always oh, doctor Blasi for it. But when they

916
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: omit that title of doctor, they are doing so purposefully.

917
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: They are doing so because they know that when people

918
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: hear that, you know, they come away with certain there's

919
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: certain kindations, right, It's it's a it's a credibility. This

920
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: is It's sort of similar to when I used to

921
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: go on CNN and have food thrown at me like

922
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: a caged animal for the delight of progressive idiots. Uh.

923
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: They would always introduce me as you know, Buck Sexton

924
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: from Glenn Becks the Blaze. That was often a thing,

925
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: and I would say, you know, do I introduce you

926
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: is uh, you know, former male model Don Lemon from

927
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: Ted Turner's CNN or former male model Anderson Cooper that

928
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: we all have to pretend is is good at what

929
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,919
Speaker 1: exactly looking like a journalist and being on TV. Great.

930
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: Uh No, the answers, they did not introduce them that way.

931
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: They did introduce me usually as uh, former CIA analysts,

932
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: two War Zone deployments, NYPD in Tellence Division, you know,

933
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: nationally syndicated radio host, blah blah. You know that was

934
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: never it was always from Glenn Becks to the Blaze

935
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: or they even call me a right wing commentator. So

936
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, I just I just gotta tell you, man,

937
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: you pay attention to these little things because it tells

938
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: you a lot about the opposition that we are dealing with.

939
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: And there's just other common sense things that bother me

940
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: about About Kamala Harris, m she she apparently thinks that

941
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: it's it's a bad idea. It's a bad idea to

942
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: warn young women to protect themselves from the protect themselves

943
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: in the sense that they will avoid excessive drinking, because

944
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: in a lot of situations where there's a sexual assault,

945
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: excessive drinking puts a woman in a position where she

946
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: is less able to understand her surroundings in this situation

947
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: to fight back effectively. But but she took this. I mean,

948
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: there's this uh, this woman row I see, who's done

949
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: some some writing on this. And there was this this

950
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, there was this uh hearing on

951
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill and yeah, I'm sorry Trump judicial nominee Naomi Rao.

952
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: She really went after her on this point because Rao

953
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: has proposed the quote common sense idea of avoiding excessive drinking,

954
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: and she also clearly says that if you do drink

955
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: too much, you're not at fault if you're attacked. And

956
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: she said she's merely trying to keep women from becoming

957
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: victims of crime. This is exactly the advice that responsible

958
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: parents and Pierce should give. I still think it's amazing.

959
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean, by the Harris said this is deeply troubling

960
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: and that you shouldn't say this. I still think it's

961
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: amazing that I went through all the campus sensitivity training

962
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,959
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff that I did, and never, once, never,

963
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: once was I told when I was at college undergrad

964
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: or when I was a resident counselor in college to

965
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: tell women you know, be careful with drinking too much.

966
01:01:55,760 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 1: It's something that can lead to bad situations. It hurts judgment,

967
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: It hurts your ability to drive a car. It also

968
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,959
Speaker 1: hurts your your judgment. You know, you know, I'm most

969
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: women that I know are very they're very able to determine.

970
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about you know, young women, not not you know,

971
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: young people in high school. Um, when the guy when

972
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: a guy who's being creepy and has bad intention, but

973
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: if you add six or seven shots a yeager meister

974
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: into the equation, it can be cloudy judgment. You know. Look,

975
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a big brother as well as a

976
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: guy that you know tries to look out for women

977
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: in general. And I gave my sister this advice before

978
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: she went to school. And every woman that I know

979
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: that I care about who's young and you know, not

980
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: a married person that has kids of their own and

981
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: everything I said. You know, you don't want to you know,

982
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: you got to be careful with the drinking, especially in college.

983
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris says that this is bad. This is like

984
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: blaming the victim. You just you can't have real discussions

985
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: with democrats. You can't have real discussions with them. I

986
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: think we should be focusing on what's right now happening

987
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: with the governor. I know you guys are going to

988
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: try to focus on a lot of things right now,

989
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: but right now, my focus is on Ken calling for

990
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: the governor to step down. How we deal with survivors

991
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: who come forward right now is unacceptable, and the way

992
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: we deal with this, unfortunately allows for the continued darkness

993
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 1: of this culture to exist. And your brilliance shining light

994
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: under this, speaking your truth is nothing short of heroic.

995
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: So that's Corey Booker presidential candidate, talking in the beginning

996
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: about the very they are credible, entirely believable allegations against

997
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor Fairfax in Virginia versus the allegations against Christine

998
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: blasi Ford that was the second part of that soundclip.

999
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: On the one hand, he's like, come on, guys, we

1000
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: got we got more important stuff to focus on. There's

1001
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: there's other things that we need to talk about other

1002
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: than this. But with Christine Blasi Ford, it's an opportunity

1003
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: for him to say, this is a defining moment. This

1004
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: is a defining moment for how we treat victims of

1005
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: sexual assault. And so you know, what I want to

1006
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: point out here is, I mean, the double standard with

1007
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 1: all of this, with whether you have to resign if

1008
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: you're in blackfaced. Oh I'm sorry against Kavanaugh, not against Ford,

1009
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: against Kavanaugh, Thank you, producer, Mike. But you know, the

1010
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: double standards about black face, but also the lack of

1011
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:29,959
Speaker 1: and this is where the real bias comes in from

1012
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: the media, from the democratic igned media, the lack of

1013
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: a focus on this. Look at how much more interest

1014
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: there was from national media outlets in the allegations against

1015
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh from all three of those women, and the

1016
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: way that they position the stories against Kavanaugh and all

1017
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: the follow up analysis and context, all the things that

1018
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: they did versus Fairfax. When you have Kavanaugh saying this

1019
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: equi unequivocally did not happen. You know, I saw and

1020
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: the woman didn't know what year it was. I mean

1021
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: Blasi Ford, didn't know where it was, didn't know how

1022
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: she got home. I mean, her story was was just crap.

1023
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, she's she's alone, she's got problems, she's got

1024
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: to disconnect from reality. Year. There's just no way that

1025
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: any of this made any sense. But I remember what

1026
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: that fight was like, and I just have questions that

1027
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: if reporters were honest, if reporters were being serious about

1028
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: covering these issues with the same standard, using the same

1029
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, most kind of rigorous, rigorous fact searching that

1030
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: they could possibly do, and pushing the questions, pushing the envelope.

1031
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Here's what they would say. They would ask Lieutenant Governor Fairfax,

1032
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 1: why would she, as in Vanessa Tyson, why would she

1033
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: make this up? That question was asked. I was asked

1034
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: that question by people during the Kavanaugh why would she

1035
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: make this up? Why would she make this up? And

1036
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,479
Speaker 1: then that that was always followed up with it's very

1037
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 1: rare for women to make up these allegations. It's very rare. Well,

1038
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: women do actually make up these allegations. We know of

1039
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: very prominent cases in recent years where it has happened,

1040
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: and especially when there is a political motivation involved. It

1041
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: is not surprising at all. And yet that that doesn't

1042
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: get put into the mix here. Why would she just

1043
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: make this up? Lieutenant Governor Fairfax? I have not heard

1044
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: anyone ask him that yet, you know, are you saying

1045
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: she's lying? No? One seems to ask him that. Why

1046
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 1: not He's allowed to deny? You know, what do you

1047
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: think of these allegations, he denies it. Are you saying

1048
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 1: she's lying? Though? That's what was asked of people, not

1049
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: just a Brett Kavanaugh, but the people supporting him. Are

1050
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 1: you saying she's lying? And with me with Kavanaugh, yes, yes,

1051
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: In fact, I am saying that she's lying. That was

1052
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: kind of a shock to them. And then here's another question.

1053
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 1: Doesn't she have a right to be believed? Doesn't the

1054
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: accuser of fair facts have a right to be believed?

1055
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: These are the rules that the Democrats set up? Another

1056
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: one ask governor, Lieutenant governor, fair facts? Shouldn't you step

1057
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: aside because of the cloud you are under? Shouldn't you

1058
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: just you know, make room for somebody else who's not

1059
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: going to have these kinds of problems? All right? I

1060
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 1: think all this is kind of unfair. I want to

1061
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: be clear about that. I don't think that these are

1062
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: questions that anytime there's an allegation should be asked of

1063
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 1: a politician. But these were the questions that were asked

1064
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 1: of Brett Kavanaugh, all those who were defending him. And

1065
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: I need to know why journalists aren't asking them now.

1066
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: I need to know what has changed here? What has changed?

1067
01:07:55,000 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: Here in this circumstance, we all know, we know what

1068
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: the answers are Democrats versus Republicans. We understand what the

1069
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: answers are. I'm merely saying we should force them to

1070
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: tell us. And there's one other part, and and this

1071
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: was I heard some progressives on some crap podcast and

1072
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 1: one of them, this guy said, you know, look at

1073
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 1: what happened to Kavanaugh, how he how he melted down

1074
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 1: when he was confronted with his with his privilege, which

1075
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: is just a bizarre construct here. Kavanaugh wasn't confronted with

1076
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: his privilege. He was confronted with fake rape accusations from

1077
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: crazy people who were trying to take him down because

1078
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: they thought they were on some left wing mission. That's

1079
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:45,799
Speaker 1: what he was confronted with. He wasn't confronted with his privilege.

1080
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 1: And you know, this is a common thing you come

1081
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: across with with leftists, where you know, they like to say, oh, well,

1082
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,839
Speaker 1: if you grow up with a nice family that's intact,

1083
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 1: and you make something of yourself, you know, you didn't

1084
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: build that. That's not really something that anyone should celebrate.

1085
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: That's not really yours in any meaningful way. You're not

1086
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: somebody that we really need to celebrate because you know,

1087
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 1: you didn't build that well. A lot of people went

1088
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 1: to school with Kavanaugh. They didn't become top students at

1089
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 1: Yale Law School, they didn't have decades of top tier

1090
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: legal careers. You know, a lot of people have nice,

1091
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: intact families, and you know, they end up just kind

1092
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: of doing whatever. It's not as easy as just you know,

1093
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,919
Speaker 1: mom and dad stay married and you have a household

1094
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: where there's somebody earning a decent living, and everything you

1095
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 1: do you should thank the state for and feel guilty about.

1096
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: But that's what liberals, that's one of the ways that

1097
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: they try to undermine any sense of ameritocracy because they

1098
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: think there is no such thing as a meritocracy, which

1099
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 1: is central to the identity politics that they view as

1100
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:56,599
Speaker 1: the foundation of our society. Now, and we'll talk more

1101
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 1: about that in the next hour. Actually, I want to

1102
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: get into some more of the identity politics corrosion that

1103
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,719
Speaker 1: is occurring here. And then there's this other part two

1104
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: of the Lieutenant Governor Fairfax situation. It is this I

1105
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: also remember them, the Democrats and the media with this

1106
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: just this mendaciousness and just this vicious bald face lie

1107
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: that no sentient human being could believe was meant in

1108
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 1: good faith. That because Kavanaugh, when he was being called

1109
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 1: a sexual predator who ran gang rape parties in high school,

1110
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 1: all of it a lie because he was upset he

1111
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 1: had he didn't have the temperament. Do you remember this,

1112
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: He didn't have the temperament to be a Supreme Court justice.

1113
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: So even after it looked like the stories were flimsy

1114
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: and they were falling apart and they were going after

1115
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 1: him for political reasons, and even after all of that,

1116
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: what they fell back on was, well, because he's angry

1117
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: that people are trying to destroy him in front of

1118
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: his wife, his children, and all of America, we can't

1119
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: we can't let him have this job anyway. These people

1120
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 1: are disgusting. They're the same people that are just going

1121
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: to move from the Special Council, which is winding down

1122
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 1: in the next few weeks, to the next set of investigations,

1123
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, the Adams shift, just what a slimeball that

1124
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: guy is. But the next level of you know, Trump

1125
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: administration proctology examination that they're going to engage in under

1126
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 1: the rules of Russia collusion. I mean, this is it's

1127
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 1: appalling what they're doing. But these people have no principles.

1128
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: This is part one of the One of the things

1129
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 1: that we have to get over on our side of

1130
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: the the not just the political spectrum, but on the

1131
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: moral and ethical and ideological spectrum, is that the people

1132
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: that have embraced leftist, statist, socialist, redistributive identity politics and

1133
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 1: moral relativism, they don't play by the same rules that

1134
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: we do on anything. And we saw this with how

1135
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: they attack Cavanaugh, and now we're seeing with how they

1136
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 1: excused Lieutenant Governor Fairfax who was in a meeting and

1137
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:16,560
Speaker 1: called his accuser a blank that starts with an F

1138
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: and a you know blank that starts with a B.

1139
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 1: Does that? You know? Where are the social justice warriors

1140
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 1: that two weeks ago we're snickering about how Kavanaugh was

1141
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 1: confronted with his privilege and that's why he got so angry?

1142
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: Was Fairfax confronted with his privilege? Is that what he

1143
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: got so angry by? There are other Democrats who knew

1144
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: about this. They all covered up for this guy. They

1145
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 1: all covered this up. They didn't want this to be

1146
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: adjudicated in the court of public opinion. They didn't want

1147
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: this to be adjudicated in court. I think either because

1148
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 1: there's no statute of limitations on rape in Virginia, and

1149
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 1: this was in two thousand and four, so now they

1150
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 1: knew that this was a huge liability. I do think

1151
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: before we switched gears here the next hour, I do think, however,

1152
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: the idea that maybe Northam or I keep forgetting the

1153
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: other the other guy, the state attorney general, I keep

1154
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: forgetting his name, but the other guy for Virginia. The

1155
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,480
Speaker 1: idea that one of them might have leaked this information

1156
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 1: to take the heat off of them. I can see

1157
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: that actually these people are These people are brutal. He's

1158
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: Democrat politicians. They got no qualms about throwing anybody under

1159
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 1: the bus. Our three is coming up and it's going

1160
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: to be massive. Stay with me. AARP people are like, oh, yeah,

1161
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 1: that's a seniors organization, right, you might know a bit

1162
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: about it. You might already be a member or someone

1163
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: you know is a member. But I'm here to tell

1164
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: you AARP is surprisingly liberal, supports a lot of left

1165
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 1: wing stuff, and that's not where your values are. So

1166
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: why not get all the benefits of a great seniors organization,

1167
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: but one that was founded by a veteran and is

1168
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 1: all about supporting values that you also care about. I

1169
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: recommend AMAK. AMAC has over one point five million Americans

1170
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 1: who have joined, and I'm telling you AMAC allows for

1171
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 1: good policy for America and good benefits in value for you,

1172
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: including discounts on car insurance, hotels, roadside assistance, you name it.

1173
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: Stand with AMAC as they fight the good fight. Become

1174
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 1: a member today. The benefits are great, but the cause

1175
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 1: is even greater. Tell your family and tell your friends

1176
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 1: join right now. At AMA dot us slash buck. That's

1177
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 1: AMAC dot us slash buck. AMAC is better, better for you,

1178
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: better for America. This is what happens when identity politics

1179
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,839
Speaker 1: becomes supreme. When you feel an obligation to define yourself

1180
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 1: by your heritage instead of your ideas, you reach for

1181
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: these things you decide I want to put on the

1182
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: form I'm American Indian. This is an issue where the

1183
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 1: Democrats have inverted Martin Luther King's dream. He said he

1184
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,559
Speaker 1: wanted his four little children to be judged by the

1185
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 1: content of their character and not the color of their skin. Too.

1186
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: Any Democrats think the color of their skin, it does

1187
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: come first. It is what should be talked about. Your

1188
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 1: race your heritage, your background, your orientation. This all dominates

1189
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: democratic politics instead of your ideas. If I'm Elizabeth Warren,

1190
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 1: I drop all of this and I just talk about

1191
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 1: my ideas and stop apologizing. You know, Elizabeth Warren has

1192
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: gone out and said, I believe to a tribe of

1193
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: the or it said to the Cherokee nation that she's sorry,

1194
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: and now she's going to the apology tour for this

1195
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 1: whole thing. You know, the problem for Warren other than

1196
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 1: the fact that she looks completely ridiculous in this whole process.

1197
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 1: I mean, she's somebody who I don't think that she

1198
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: can recover from the ridiculousness of what she's done here.

1199
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: But the problem of her is that it's also it's

1200
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 1: also a function of where the left is on this stuff.

1201
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:59,760
Speaker 1: You know that they don't have answers for is identity malleable?

1202
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 1: You know, can you? Because if your gender identity is malleable,

1203
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:09,440
Speaker 1: I need to know why your racial identity is not changeable?

1204
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,480
Speaker 1: Why is this in that? Why is one in immutable

1205
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: characteristic but the other is up for up for discussion.

1206
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: I know there was this this transgender individual who got

1207
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,600
Speaker 1: very upset recently. I think this was in Arizona. I

1208
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: just remember reading this story quickly a few days ago. Um,

1209
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 1: but got very upset because a store clerk called him

1210
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:42,600
Speaker 1: him and and actually they you know, the idea was

1211
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:46,639
Speaker 1: that he is supposed to be called her now and

1212
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,439
Speaker 1: this has just gotten to the place where it's it's

1213
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 1: utterly bizarre, right, you know, you don't know how you're

1214
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 1: supposed to how you're supposed to interact with people anymore,

1215
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: because their change the rules constantly. I mean they're they're

1216
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: deciding that you're not allowed to be in a position

1217
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: where you could be confident in what you're saying. Yeah,

1218
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: this is I was looking for the piece here. Transgender

1219
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 1: woman explodes on game stop employee after being misgendered. All

1220
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 1: this was back in December. Actually I just saw someone

1221
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 1: it getting linked here, but a very large man in

1222
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: woman's clothing was referred to as sir. And then this

1223
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 1: turned into a And this was at a game stop,

1224
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 1: which is a John John GameStop is where they sell

1225
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: video games, right, yes, yeah, it's a it's a video

1226
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: game place. And the person got so angry this, this

1227
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 1: transgender individual got so angry and claimed that this was

1228
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 1: a huge, you know, a huge slap in the face.

1229
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: Why is it that a transgender person can claim to

1230
01:17:56,080 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: be a different a different gender, but Elizabeth Warren can't

1231
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: claim to be a member of the Cherokee nature or

1232
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: whatever tribe. She said. Oh, she said today also that

1233
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 1: there might be more examples of this. I mean, she

1234
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 1: built her whole career on this racial fraud. It's it's

1235
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 1: amazing when you think about it, how successful she actually

1236
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: was in this whole process. It's pretty astonishing that she

1237
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 1: managed to be in a place where it took this

1238
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 1: much public scrutiny and this much attention on her for

1239
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,799
Speaker 1: this stuff to come out. You know, nobody ever stopped

1240
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: to challenge whether this woman was a fair representative of this.

1241
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,360
Speaker 1: I still remember I had a friend and she got

1242
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:37,560
Speaker 1: a lot I think I've told you this before in

1243
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: the show. I had a friend who got in a

1244
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,679
Speaker 1: lot of trouble because she claimed to be African American

1245
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: because she was born in Cairo, which is Africa, and

1246
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 1: then moved to America. But she was born in Cairo,

1247
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: which is on the continent of Africa, and she claimed

1248
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 1: for college application purposes to be African American, and they

1249
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: were very upset with her about that, and she took

1250
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: issue with it. Now I understand that they would say

1251
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 1: that it's meant to be for the for people that

1252
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:07,680
Speaker 1: have suffered, you know, from institutional racism. And she as

1253
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: a light skinned I mean, he would not really know

1254
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,679
Speaker 1: that she was even Arab, but as a light skinned person,

1255
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 1: maybe they claim it. That's that's not what this is

1256
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: intended for. But then what about students who come from

1257
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 1: entirely African countries and are welcomed into the university system

1258
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: because they are supposed they're part of this diversity push.

1259
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: Are they you know, are they African American? No, they're

1260
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: just African. So why is there an obligation to take

1261
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 1: those students ahead of other students just because it's really

1262
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 1: because of skin color? Is what you find out. And

1263
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,839
Speaker 1: this stuff is incoherent. And I know, as I discussed

1264
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: this with you in the context of Elizabeth Warren, it

1265
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 1: sounds like we're rawn in circles and we're going around

1266
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: and around. But that's because that's what they do. This

1267
01:19:56,360 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: is the reality of identity politics as it is is

1268
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 1: manifesting itself in our day to day lives. You can't

1269
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 1: keep up with this stuff, you know, the next month

1270
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 1: I think we're going to get a ruling on the

1271
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: Asian Americans who apply to Harvard and how they are

1272
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: they are discriminated against. People can say whatever they want,

1273
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, Asians need to have on average, I think

1274
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: it's almost two hundred points higher on the SAT than

1275
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: non Asian, non white piers, so essentially black, Hispanic and

1276
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: Native American piers, in order to get into Harvard. That's

1277
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:36,680
Speaker 1: a big swing. I mean, the difference between getting a

1278
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:38,760
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred in the SAT and a twelve hundred on

1279
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: the SAT by the percentages is vast. And yet here

1280
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 1: we are. What's the explanation for this? Oh, a lot

1281
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 1: of stuff about historical oppression. Why are Hispanic and Latino

1282
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 1: communities that they're oppressed? How and on what scale are

1283
01:20:56,080 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 1: they more oppressed than Asian Americans? How? And why there

1284
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:05,719
Speaker 1: was institutional and legalize racism against Asians in this country

1285
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 1: after the building of the railroads. Some of you are

1286
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 1: probably familiar with that part of history. That was a

1287
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 1: real thing. There's been no call for reparations on that.

1288
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 1: And I'm just wondering, when they come forward with Asian

1289
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: privilege as a thing, why is that so hard to believe?

1290
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 1: Why is Asian privilege such a shocking term when the

1291
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: average Asian household has more in this country than the

1292
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: average white household does. Now, the only way to make

1293
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: sense of all this, or to try to deal with this,

1294
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: is to say that we're not going to divide society

1295
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 1: along these lines. We're not going to treat people differently

1296
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 1: based on their skin color or their ethnicity, their national origin,

1297
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 1: and that everyone is a person, and all people are

1298
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: equal in the eyes of the law and in the

1299
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 1: eyes of God, and we judge people as individuals. That's

1300
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:58,640
Speaker 1: the only way. Everything else that they're doing is essentially

1301
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 1: an intrusion, an intrusion of the state into social and

1302
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:10,240
Speaker 1: cultural processes, whether it's affirmative action or any of these

1303
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 1: diversity initiatives you see at the government level, at the

1304
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 1: private sector level, any of those intrusions are just going

1305
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:19,759
Speaker 1: to invite more intrusions, and the constant jockeying for position

1306
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 1: and the constant bickering of these different groups that are

1307
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: represented by activists, and the whole identity politics industrial complex,

1308
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,679
Speaker 1: which is a real thing. You know, it's a real

1309
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 1: thing on university campus, is a real thing in corporate America,

1310
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:39,679
Speaker 1: a real thing in government hiring. This is not a

1311
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 1: long term recipe for a successful nation. The concepts of

1312
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 1: a shared shared language, a shared ideology, a shared history

1313
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: that does not take into account these different identity politics

1314
01:22:55,439 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 1: based groups as somehow the building blocks of society. This

1315
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:01,560
Speaker 1: is the only way we're going to be able to

1316
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: move forward effectively. And so Elizabeth Warren Is it's more

1317
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 1: than just she's an embarrassment and she's a fraud, which

1318
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 1: those things are true. She's also really emblematic of how

1319
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: far this poison of identity politics has spread, where you

1320
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: have people who are recognizing it as a way to

1321
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 1: if they're dishonest enough and they're shameless enough, as a

1322
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 1: way to get ahead. And Democrats have to try to

1323
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 1: turn some kind of a blind eye to it. And

1324
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:39,679
Speaker 1: they really don't have explanations for what the rules are.

1325
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:42,680
Speaker 1: The rules are whatever feels convenient at the time, as

1326
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 1: we've been seeing with these Virginia politicians. The rules are

1327
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: what other Democrats say they are based on their need

1328
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: to hold on to power. But Elizabeth, Elizabeth Warren is

1329
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 1: I think I think she's done running for president, whether

1330
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: she knows it or not. But she's also a troubling

1331
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: sign of where this country is headed if we don't

1332
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: get a handle on this whole identity politics debacle that

1333
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 1: continues to play out. Friends, when do you want to

1354
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:22,720
Speaker 1: and and what do you say to military members who

1355
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 1: have been deployed repeatedly in Syria pushing back against US suck?

1356
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: People who have been deployed to Syria have been there

1357
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,879
Speaker 1: focused on their mission, which has been to defeat ISIS.

1358
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 1: Our troops have not gone to Syria to wage yet

1359
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 1: another costly destructive regime change war. Journalists don't seem to

1360
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 1: understand this. And you know, I know we talked about

1361
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 1: this a little bit yesterday. I just want to follow

1362
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 1: up wanted They they don't know what they're talking about.

1363
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:53,639
Speaker 1: For the most part, with these overseas conflicts. They don't

1364
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: really understand the intricacy or the players. They certainly don't

1365
01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:01,960
Speaker 1: speak particularly intelligently about about Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan,

1366
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 1: because to really know what's going on requires a great

1367
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 1: deal of reading and research and understanding. But I just

1368
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: know that, you know, they can't figure out where they

1369
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:15,960
Speaker 1: are on these issues. It's fascinating to see this play

1370
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 1: out the Democrat aligned media isn't sure if they're supposed

1371
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 1: to cheer or boo when Trump talks about getting us

1372
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: out of these conflict zones, when Trump gets us out

1373
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,599
Speaker 1: of these wars, I mean, these are wars. And there

1374
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 1: seems to be a very superficial at best understanding of

1375
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 1: just what it means, of what it means to have

1376
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 1: our troops holding these countries together or suppressing some of

1377
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 1: these continuing Islamist insurgencies. And you know, there's just no

1378
01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 1: acceptance whatsoever of the reality on the ground, which is

1379
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 1: that the Assad regime is going to stay. There's also,

1380
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 1: I think very little acceptance of what's going to happen

1381
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan as we draw down, which is that the Taliban.

1382
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you're hearing me say this very openly, that

1383
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 1: the Taliban is going to take control of at least

1384
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 1: half of that country and there might be an unsteady

1385
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 1: power sharing agreement for a while, but eventually the Taliban

1386
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:27,600
Speaker 1: and the remnants of the Northern Reliance, which is Tadjik,

1387
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 1: Uzbek and Hazara, but mostly Tadjik and Uzbek, they're going

1388
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 1: to go to war with the Taliban again. I mean,

1389
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 1: Afghanistan is going to go through another cycle of civil war.

1390
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of reasons, you know that we

1391
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 1: can get into as to why that is. The lack

1392
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:48,759
Speaker 1: of the lack of both the infrastructure and the civic

1393
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:53,920
Speaker 1: attachment to a centralized government in Afghanistan means that you're

1394
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 1: you're going to be facing this problem for a very

1395
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:00,439
Speaker 1: long time. And I think that we should all be

1396
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:04,680
Speaker 1: open and honest about what the trade offs are going

1397
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 1: to be. And this is this brings me back to

1398
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 1: a debate that started, what was it now a month

1399
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 1: or two ago, where I was saying, as a conservative, look,

1400
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 1: we've got to leave SyRI We've got to leave Afghanistan.

1401
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: We've got a military presence in Iraq. Iraq is an

1402
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 1: allied regime, and we do have I think a greater

1403
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 1: strategic interest in keeping Iraq from completely falling apart, at

1404
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:31,600
Speaker 1: least in the near term. So I'm okay with the

1405
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 1: Iraq presence on a temporary basis. That said, I think

1406
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 1: the Iraqis are going to kick us out pretty soon.

1407
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 1: I think the Iraqis are going to say thanks, but

1408
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 1: we've got this. That doesn't mean we won't give them

1409
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 1: aid An assistance. But where is the left on all this.

1410
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're trying to just say that Trump

1411
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: is crazy. Trump is crazy, and I think that they

1412
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:54,680
Speaker 1: should get a lot more criticism for the cynicism, the

1413
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: cynicism that is constantly on display from Democrats on issues

1414
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 1: of war in peace, on issues of military life and death,

1415
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean, our troops being deployed. They were so opposed

1416
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 1: to the Bush administration's wars abroad, and then they were

1417
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 1: excusing Obama's acceleration of the war and an expansion of

1418
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 1: the war in Afghanistan, a complete apologist for it, by

1419
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: the way, and his blind eye that he turned to

1420
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 1: everything going on in Syria. Obama administration policy in Syria

1421
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,880
Speaker 1: was a disaster. And part of the reason it was

1422
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:34,240
Speaker 1: a disaster we were led to believe that it was

1423
01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 1: because Obama didn't want to didn't want to repeat the

1424
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:43,640
Speaker 1: mistakes of the Bush administration. That's actually a very charitable reinterpretation,

1425
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 1: I think, rewriting of what was really going on there.

1426
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: The Obama administration took such a soft touch with regard

1427
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 1: to the situation in Syria. Remember they went into Libya.

1428
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:53,680
Speaker 1: You know, they were going to go in there and

1429
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:57,759
Speaker 1: send in We had planes bombing them. We had NATO

1430
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:03,400
Speaker 1: allies supporting the anti Kadafi resistance. We topple that government.

1431
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 1: We figured, hey, why not. The reason they didn't go

1432
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:08,480
Speaker 1: in Syria is, yes, it would have been more complicated

1433
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 1: mission than Libya, but also they didn't want to upset

1434
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 1: the Iranians, and the Iranians have much deeper interests in

1435
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 1: Syria than we do. That's just a fact. And we

1436
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:25,520
Speaker 1: need to understand what the drawbacks are, what the downsides

1437
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:28,760
Speaker 1: are to the projection of US military force into some

1438
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:32,920
Speaker 1: of these areas, because when you're there, you're responsible. You know,

1439
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 1: even you know they think of it this way, with

1440
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,840
Speaker 1: the presence in Rock, the presence in Syria and in Afghanistan.

1441
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:41,880
Speaker 1: You know, you can be out with your friend at

1442
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 1: a bar who is a really volatile character, and you

1443
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:47,639
Speaker 1: could say, all right, I'm just gonna be there with him,

1444
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:49,800
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to be This is most of

1445
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:51,720
Speaker 1: the guys, oh some of the ladies. You probably have

1446
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:54,600
Speaker 1: some volatile friends too that go out you got drinking with.

1447
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,240
Speaker 1: But if you're out with that friend who you know

1448
01:30:57,479 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: can be a problem, sometimes you have to remember that

1449
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:03,360
Speaker 1: even if you mind your own business and you don't

1450
01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:06,600
Speaker 1: want to get into with anybody. You might be in

1451
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 1: a position where you feel obligated to back your buddy

1452
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:14,479
Speaker 1: up when he starts something. That's the problem with staying

1453
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:16,479
Speaker 1: in a place like Syria, or continue to stay in

1454
01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:19,640
Speaker 1: a place like Afghanistan is that I don't believe that

1455
01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 1: this is like Germany or like South Korea. These are

1456
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,720
Speaker 1: not stabilized situations where we can determine we come and

1457
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:29,120
Speaker 1: go as we please, and it's just the day to

1458
01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:33,800
Speaker 1: day safety and security of our troops is essentially assured.

1459
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:36,720
Speaker 1: I think that there's a people say, buck, we have

1460
01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 1: troops in South Korea because we want effectively a bulwark

1461
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 1: against North Korean aggression. Yeah, that's true, But unless North

1462
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 1: Korea wants to fight a war, they're not going to

1463
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:52,599
Speaker 1: go after our troops in South Korea. The Taliban doesn't care.

1464
01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:56,519
Speaker 1: If they can sneak a suicide truck bomb into one

1465
01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 1: of our facilities and kill two or three hundred Americans,

1466
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 1: they'll do it in the blink of an eye. They could.

1467
01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:03,680
Speaker 1: That would be they viewed as a huge victory. But

1468
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, these are the discussions that you would think,

1469
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 1: and I know I'm moving around and talking about some

1470
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,559
Speaker 1: of the different places where we have troops. But these

1471
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 1: are the discussions that you would think would be happening

1472
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 1: in this country in a way where people are really

1473
01:32:18,439 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 1: our politicians and the media are really engaged. But because

1474
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 1: it's hard for them to bash Trump for not wanting

1475
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 1: for not wanting to expand these wars or to invade

1476
01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 1: more countries. Because of that, I think there's less interest. Ultimately,

1477
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,800
Speaker 1: much of the left's posturing on foreign policy, and it's

1478
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 1: positioning on foreign policy is really just a function of

1479
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:46,360
Speaker 1: what is advantageous from a domestic policy perspective. That really

1480
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:49,320
Speaker 1: is the focus, that is where they want to put

1481
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 1: their energy and attention, And this is why there's such

1482
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:56,560
Speaker 1: an incoherence. And that's why back to the Tulsi Gathered situation,

1483
01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:00,240
Speaker 1: and I just I watched that clip again last night.

1484
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:04,720
Speaker 1: Here's a bunch of liberals posing as journalists asking a

1485
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 1: left wing Democrat questions that are essentially hostile because Gabbert

1486
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 1: doesn't want us to go to war with a SAD,

1487
01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:17,439
Speaker 1: and Democrats, after all those years where Obama didn't go

1488
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:20,559
Speaker 1: to war with the SAD, seem kind of disappointed by

1489
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:25,280
Speaker 1: that prospect. And that's not driven by what's happening in Syria.

1490
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:29,200
Speaker 1: That's just driven by the changes here at home, you know,

1491
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:32,960
Speaker 1: because Trump is opposed to war with the sad, they

1492
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 1: kind of feel like they should be for it. This

1493
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 1: is crazy stuff, but we are living in a very

1494
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: unusual time for American politics, So I guess I should

1495
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:45,400
Speaker 1: stop saying any of the stuff is crazy because we're

1496
01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 1: coming to expect it. Hey, team Buck, it's time for

1497
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:05,519
Speaker 1: roll call. The roll call? May we be insert? I

1498
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:08,759
Speaker 1: don't know why we do some weird foreign language stuff

1499
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 1: with roll call these days. I don't know. I just

1500
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 1: feel like, gotta change it up, gott to spice it up,

1501
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 1: keep the team on their toes. And I always wonder

1502
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:20,840
Speaker 1: if if you can hear what I hear when I'm

1503
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:22,880
Speaker 1: in the studio, Like somehow there's a dog that's barking

1504
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,280
Speaker 1: right below me. John could does that stuff? Well? Do

1505
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:27,680
Speaker 1: you guys hear the sirens sometimes? Or is it just

1506
01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:30,600
Speaker 1: just me? I think your mic doesn't pick it up.

1507
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:33,360
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty good, Mike, Oh nice, Okay, occasionally again,

1508
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm not using I don't know. I'm in the middle

1509
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 1: of like a Law and Order episode here because I've

1510
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,120
Speaker 1: got a roadway that goes past me with the sirens.

1511
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:43,200
Speaker 1: All right. I feel like it gives a little authenticity

1512

1534
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:04,479
Speaker 1: I was just listening to yesterday's podcast when I heard

1535
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:08,519
Speaker 1: the crushing news I'm losing my broadcast heroes, first Jerry Doyle,

1536
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 1: Brief Peyton, and now the great Doc Thompson. Not to

1537
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:14,680
Speaker 1: mention almost losing Jeff Fisher. You're my last hero. I know.

1538
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm a forty eight year old Coastguard vet trying to

1539
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:19,120
Speaker 1: break in this chaotic world of radio that I've dreamed

1540
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 1: up since I was a kid. I promise you this,

1541
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:23,000
Speaker 1: when I get my shot, I will carry the memory

1542
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,840
Speaker 1: of those great broadcasters on my shoulders and in my

1543
01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:28,360
Speaker 1: heart with every breath I take on the air. Well, Tony,

1544
01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:30,680
Speaker 1: my friend, First of all, I agree with you. I

1545
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 1: certainly am am still reeling from the loss of my

1546
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 1: old colleague and friend, Doc Thompson, and also my colleague

1547
01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:40,840
Speaker 1: and friend Breef Peyton, two people far too young and

1548
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:44,600
Speaker 1: far too much ahead of them for just tragedy to

1549
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:47,760
Speaker 1: strike in the way that it did. As for your

1550
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 1: aspirations and your desire to continue on the mission of

1551
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:54,719
Speaker 1: some of the greats that you mentioned. My friend, Shields High,

1552
01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:56,880
Speaker 1: please please stay on it, stay in the fight and

1553
01:36:57,400 --> 01:37:01,599
Speaker 1: chase your dream man, because the more I look around,

1554
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 1: I see what folks are up to. And at the

1555
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 1: end of the day, you know, you have how you

1556
01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:08,519
Speaker 1: treat people and what you're doing with yourself, and that's

1557
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 1: and that's really a lot of a lot of what

1558
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:13,559
Speaker 1: you got. You know, maybe you get some some good

1559
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:15,320
Speaker 1: meals here and there and a good night's sleep, but

1560
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 1: other than that, how do you treat the people around you?

1561
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:20,439
Speaker 1: And what do you do with yourself? I said to

1562
01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 1: somebody recently that we are all just a compilation of

1563
01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:25,880
Speaker 1: our choices. I should probably change that. Are amended to

1564
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:31,080
Speaker 1: We're a compilation of our choices as manifested in our actions. Um,

1565
01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:34,599
Speaker 1: that's that's what really defines who we are. So Tony,

1566
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 1: good luck to you, my friend, God's speed. Um Kayla

1567
01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:41,519
Speaker 1: rights hold on a second, love the show, Buck, But

1568
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,639
Speaker 1: you are wrong. The State of Union speech was perfect,

1569
01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:48,360
Speaker 1: and do not discount the public's ability to ingest information.

1570
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 1: I remember every word. Also bring back deep dives in history.

1571
01:37:52,280 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 1: These are the things that make your show different from

1572
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 1: the others oss shields high k Um Well, uh kayla,

1573
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 1: as you're absolutely every bit has entitled your opinion on

1574
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:03,800
Speaker 1: the State of the Union address as I am to

1575
01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 1: what I said. So if you think it was perfect,

1576
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:12,040
Speaker 1: well and it's perfect as to history deep dives, trust me.

1577
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:13,559
Speaker 1: It's it's a love of mine. It's kind of a

1578
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 1: passion project. I know, we did shields Hie for a

1579
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:17,640
Speaker 1: little bit. I want to come back and do more

1580
01:38:17,680 --> 01:38:20,680
Speaker 1: of them. It really just turned into an issue of

1581
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, I've got bosses who owned to some degree

1582
01:38:24,280 --> 01:38:26,880
Speaker 1: my my time. I've got a few bosses and they

1583
01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:30,840
Speaker 1: own my time, and so that, you know, that makes

1584
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: it hard for me to do some projects like that

1585
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:36,400
Speaker 1: that we're not We don't have a commercial sponsor for

1586
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:38,960
Speaker 1: There's some very nice folks out there who offered to

1587
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 1: try and sponsor a few episodes of shield Hie just

1588
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:44,000
Speaker 1: out of their own pocket. Maybe I would do a

1589
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 1: go fund me for one or something, But is that

1590
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:48,960
Speaker 1: is that what it? Yeah? Go fund me, right, that's

1591
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:52,240
Speaker 1: what you would use. Um, But it's it's a it's

1592
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:55,439
Speaker 1: a lot of work in these days. I'm running a

1593
01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:57,479
Speaker 1: little ragged just trying to make sure that this show

1594
01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 1: is as good as it can possibly be every night,

1595
01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:03,160
Speaker 1: plus the Rising Show, plus columns that I write, plus

1596
01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:07,360
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. But Kay, thank you so much

1597
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:09,599
Speaker 1: for writing in, and we will get to the history

1598
01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 1: projects again. It's just a question of when I can

1599
01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 1: carve out the time, Max writes. Pelosi said she wants

1600
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 1: zero dollars for the wall because she thinks building a

1601
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:21,599
Speaker 1: wall is immoral. If I were in Trump's shoes, I'd

1602
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 1: say that I will not veto a budget with no

1603
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:26,599
Speaker 1: wall funding so long as it also has no Planned

1604
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:31,360
Speaker 1: Parenthood funding, because I think they're immoral. Potentially that fulfills

1605
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:34,320
Speaker 1: a campaign promise no matter what she decides. Ben SaaS

1606
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:36,919
Speaker 1: was just complaining on Monday, we haven't really tried defunding

1607
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood. Do you think there's any chance Trump may

1608
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:43,880
Speaker 1: try this? Max, I don't think that there's much of

1609
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 1: a chance that Trump will do that specifically, but I'm

1610
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:50,600
Speaker 1: not saying that means it's not a good idea. I

1611
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:54,840
Speaker 1: think it is disappointing that Republicans did not try really

1612
01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:58,360
Speaker 1: to defund, did not defund, and they could have. They

1613
01:39:58,360 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 1: did not defund Planned Parenthood. There were Republicans who like

1614
01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 1: their jobs more than they liked their principles and their mission.

1615
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:08,320
Speaker 1: There's no way around that. It's just the truth. So

1616
01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 1: I think we have to remember that as we look

1617
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:14,200
Speaker 1: at these different different issues that come up of why

1618
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 1: didn't they do this or why didn't they do that?

1619
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 1: It's not always because they were blocked or because they

1620
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:21,479
Speaker 1: didn't have the time or the resources or the bandwidth.

1621
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes they just didn't want to do it. They didn't

1622
01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:27,360
Speaker 1: want to do it. And I think that that's certainly

1623
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 1: true about Planned parent would. I was talking to a

1624
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:33,000
Speaker 1: you know what I should a producer, Mike, can we

1625
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 1: can we reach out to the team behind Unplanned the movie?

1626
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:40,679
Speaker 1: I'd like to get somebody from from the movie on.

1627
01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:43,960
Speaker 1: I was just talking to h somebody who's involved in

1628
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:47,160
Speaker 1: it today. I bumped into somebody while having coffee as

1629
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,920
Speaker 1: one does, and he's involved with the movie. And I

1630
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:53,120
Speaker 1: think it's something that we should talk about a little

1631
01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:56,040
Speaker 1: bit on the show here, because obviously the media just

1632
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:57,880
Speaker 1: they want to bury it. I mean, they don't want

1633
01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 1: anyone to know about this woman who used to be

1634
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 1: a Planned Parenthood director and then essentially went in the

1635
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:07,200
Speaker 1: room and really saw what was going on and learned

1636
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:11,000
Speaker 1: and now has become a warrior for life since then,

1637
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:13,720
Speaker 1: they do not want people to know the story. And

1638
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 1: this movie that's just out now unplanned, So we should

1639
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:20,280
Speaker 1: reach out and get somebody from that show on something

1640
01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:24,840
Speaker 1: that movie on my Mamen, TJ. Buck, here's a quote

1641
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 1: I read from Victor Davis Hanson that you might appreciate,

1642
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 1: albeit a slightly extreme analogy. If Trump avoids unpopular wars

1643
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:35,680
Speaker 1: and tough economic times, perhaps a majority of voters will

1644
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:41,639
Speaker 1: see him as political chemotherapy, occasionally nausea inducing, but still

1645
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:45,640
Speaker 1: necessary and largely effective to stop a toxic and metastasizing

1646
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:49,240
Speaker 1: political cancer. You know, TJ. Some of the some of

1647
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:51,400
Speaker 1: the Stalwarts and Team Buck, we're trying to tell me

1648
01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 1: this all along. They were saying, look, man, you've got

1649
01:41:54,200 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 1: to you've got to see Trump as a as a

1650
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:04,439
Speaker 1: political political weapon against this onslaught from the left. And

1651
01:42:04,560 --> 01:42:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, weapons are messy. You know, artillery is a

1652
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:09,479
Speaker 1: great thing, but sometimes artillery rounds land on the wrong house.

1653
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 1: That's just the nature of battle, in the nature of struggle.

1654
01:42:13,680 --> 01:42:17,680
Speaker 1: And Trump is not perfect. He's an imperfect vessel. I

1655
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 1: would never sit here and because I would have to

1656
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:21,800
Speaker 1: tell you things that I don't believe are true. I

1657
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:23,719
Speaker 1: would never sit here and say that everything that Trump

1658
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 1: says and everything he does is amazing. But what he

1659
01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:31,800
Speaker 1: has done so far is look, I think he's I

1660
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:35,600
Speaker 1: think he's been more conservative than George W. Bush on

1661
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 1: the domestic policy. I think it's not even a hard

1662
01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 1: case to make. Bush was almost an open borders guy.

1663
01:42:42,439 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 1: Bush was really pro amnesty, no problem with the the legal immigration.

1664
01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:50,599
Speaker 1: In fact, the whole Bush family was really open to

1665
01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 1: the idea of huge guessworker programs, more and more immigration amnesty.

1666
01:42:56,920 --> 01:42:58,920
Speaker 1: And you can see this by the way that they

1667
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:04,200
Speaker 1: dealt with a case down at the border involving two

1668
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 1: border agents Ramos and Campaillon I believe were their names,

1669
01:43:09,479 --> 01:43:13,719
Speaker 1: who got into a shootout with cartel drug smuggler and

1670
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 1: somehow because they didn't know, they didn't log the shootout properly,

1671
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: and the guy got I think he got hit in

1672
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,920
Speaker 1: the butt with around They faced years and years in

1673
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:27,559
Speaker 1: federal prison and went to prison, and finally at the

1674
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:30,560
Speaker 1: end of the Bush administration, I believe it was I

1675
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:32,920
Speaker 1: don't I forget which one. I think it was Ramos,

1676
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,840
Speaker 1: but I might be forgetting. I can't remember everything off

1677
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 1: the top of my head was commuted. His sentence was commuted.

1678
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:41,920
Speaker 1: But they threw border patrol the Bush, the Bush administration,

1679
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:46,080
Speaker 1: George W. Bush through border patrol under the bus and

1680
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:50,680
Speaker 1: the Bushes were Yeah, they're they're Connecticut plutocrats posing as

1681
01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, Texas salt of the Earth types. But they

1682
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 1: were not good on immigration, they were not good on

1683
01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 1: the debt. They're not going on a lot of issues.

1684
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:00,639
Speaker 1: So people that want to lecture me a, oh Trump

1685
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:03,719
Speaker 1: isn't conservative, Okay, what do you define as conservative policy?

1686
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 1: Then I'm curious. But you know what, I want to

1687
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,680
Speaker 1: continue on with roll call here because we're just I

1688
01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:11,559
Speaker 1: feel like we're just getting into it. So let me

1689
01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 1: hit a quick pause and we will come right back.

1690
01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 1: Before we get into the roll call again, I just

1691

01:44:38,439 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 1: him on my station in my area to say, well,

1699
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 1: here's the podcast. All right, Cheryl, all right, it's hi. Buck.

1700
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:49,479
Speaker 1: Have received this newsletter from Hillsdale. This article discusses research

1701
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 1: studies that show some very negative results of marijuana use.

1702
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:56,639
Speaker 1: People have been told it's not really harmful. Common sense

1703
01:44:56,720 --> 01:45:00,240
Speaker 1: says that's not true. Now there's research to challenge the

1704
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 1: medical and recreation marijuana propaganda. You know, I will have

1705
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:09,880
Speaker 1: to check this out, Cheryl. Now you know I'm I'm

1706
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 1: somebody who is in favor of of moderation in almost

1707
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:20,280
Speaker 1: all things. Moderation is a good idea, and it is

1708
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:21,960
Speaker 1: even for someone like me who has a bit of

1709
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:24,640
Speaker 1: a chocolate addiction and a caffeine addiction. I mean, these

1710
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:31,280
Speaker 1: are my vices. I have not smoked marijuana in oh

1711
01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:34,720
Speaker 1: my gosh, i'd say almost twenty years now, it's been

1712
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:36,840
Speaker 1: twenty years. I haven't done any illegal drugs of any

1713
01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 1: kind in almost twenty years. And yet I'm somebody who

1714
01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:46,759
Speaker 1: tries to live within the realities of what prohibition does

1715
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 1: in society and what legalization does. That I'll said, just

1716
01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:53,080
Speaker 1: because something is legal, I don't think it means that

1717
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:55,960
Speaker 1: anybody suggests that it's good for you. Or even a

1718
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:00,599
Speaker 1: good thing. Sometimes the cost of prohibition is worse than

1719
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:07,639
Speaker 1: the downside of legalization. With marijuana, I've never I don't

1720
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:11,439
Speaker 1: enjoy it. I don't understand the appeal. I've never had

1721
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 1: a medical condition that would benefit from marijuana smoking, so

1722
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:19,520
Speaker 1: I can't speak to that. But I do know that alcohol,

1723
01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 1: even in any excess, and the culture around alcohol is

1724
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:28,599
Speaker 1: really destructive. And I even think that the professional culture

1725
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:32,080
Speaker 1: for adults around alcohol, you know, everywhere you go, and

1726
01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:34,040
Speaker 1: I always want to drink, you know, I don't necessarily

1727
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 1: want to drink with the frequency that I'm supposed to

1728
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 1: in professional settings, and people make it think it's funny

1729
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 1: that you you know, that someone like me would have

1730
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:44,280
Speaker 1: an iced tea or something out at a social event.

1731
01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 1: But I gotta get up at five o'clock in the morning.

1732
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:48,719
Speaker 1: I work fourteen hours a day on a lot of days,

1733
01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:52,200
Speaker 1: so I can't. That doesn't mean I don't like to

1734
01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:54,760
Speaker 1: sit back though, sometimes and have a glass of tequila

1735
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:57,880
Speaker 1: or mescal or you know. So I'm not a prohibitionist,

1736
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:02,720
Speaker 1: but I'm a moderation guy. With marijuana. I'm open to

1737
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: the argument that it's really bad for you, but I

1738
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:09,160
Speaker 1: don't see the argument for let's make this illegal. So

1739
01:47:09,200 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 1: if you're trying to tell me that people should know

1740
01:47:13,080 --> 01:47:15,760
Speaker 1: that this is not as harmless as they're being led

1741
01:47:15,800 --> 01:47:18,720
Speaker 1: to believe, I'm all for that. But if we're going

1742
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:21,880
Speaker 1: to start locking people up again for selling or smoking marijuana,

1743
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 1: I just I don't see how that argument can be

1744
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:28,280
Speaker 1: made while alcohol is legal. I really, I really don't.

1745
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:32,320
Speaker 1: Bob Right's catching off on my podcast. I live in Chicago.

1746
01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:36,960
Speaker 1: Trust me, this is not Maga Country. I've never seen

1747
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:40,680
Speaker 1: a Maga hat in the city. I'm surrounded by progressive Democrats.

1748
01:47:40,720 --> 01:47:44,759
Speaker 1: I find the story highly unlikely from the Empire actor. Bob.

1749
01:47:45,280 --> 01:47:47,040
Speaker 1: I've been saying it all along, and it's so funny

1750
01:47:47,040 --> 01:47:50,439
Speaker 1: because some of the blue checks, which for those of

1751
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:52,479
Speaker 1: you don't know, that's just the This is when you're

1752
01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:55,639
Speaker 1: verified on a social media platform, and this is now

1753
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 1: how people like me who are media personalities, we all

1754
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 1: fight with each other right online. And when I see

1755
01:48:02,360 --> 01:48:04,520
Speaker 1: the blue checks come after me, it means the journalists,

1756
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:07,080
Speaker 1: the verified journalists, are giving me a hard time about something.

1757
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:09,360
Speaker 1: Some of them gave me all this key because I said,

1758
01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:11,679
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I just don't think that this story adds

1759
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:14,439
Speaker 1: up I don't. I don't find it credible. That's different

1760
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:18,200
Speaker 1: than saying it's a lie. But I don't find it credible.

1761
01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 1: And now I will say, no, it's a lie. It's

1762
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 1: a lie. This guy made this up. I don't know

1763
01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:25,560
Speaker 1: if he made up all of it. Maybe there was

1764
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:27,400
Speaker 1: some kind of a scuffle on the street with somebody,

1765
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:32,559
Speaker 1: but all this maga. This Jy Smollett character, this actor

1766
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:36,120
Speaker 1: in Chicago. His story doesn't make sense. And when a

1767
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:38,720
Speaker 1: story doesn't make sense like this, you know, but he

1768
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:42,200
Speaker 1: there's no downside they're telling us. Now. The Chicago Police

1769
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:44,240
Speaker 1: Department has said if he file a false report, they'll

1770
01:48:44,280 --> 01:48:47,680
Speaker 1: be consequences. I don't believe that. I don't believe it.

1771
01:48:48,880 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 1: They won't want to prosecute him. And you know, I

1772
01:48:52,439 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 1: disagree with this idea that you know, on the one hand,

1773
01:48:55,479 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 1: if you lie to the FBI, libs will always say, oh,

1774
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:01,639
Speaker 1: but you know, you can't lie to the FBI, even

1775
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:05,519
Speaker 1: though as we know, there's a lot of there's a

1776
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:09,240
Speaker 1: lot of hypocrisy and who gets charged and who doesn't

1777
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 1: and under what pretenses. I mean, there's a double standard

1778
01:49:12,200 --> 01:49:16,559
Speaker 1: in place. But when it comes to false reports, which

1779
01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:20,600
Speaker 1: is just another form of lying. Liberals seem very accepting

1780
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 1: of false reports. If you say, well, you should be

1781
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 1: punished for a false report about a hate crime, about

1782
01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:31,200
Speaker 1: a sexual assault, you will hear liberals over and over

1783
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:37,240
Speaker 1: again completely freak out about this, and they will say

1784
01:49:37,240 --> 01:49:40,559
Speaker 1: that it's going to get rid of people. It'll stop

1785
01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:44,559
Speaker 1: people from coming forward to tell their stories, they'll stop

1786
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:47,160
Speaker 1: people from filing charges, all of this stuff. So I've

1787
01:49:47,240 --> 01:49:52,519
Speaker 1: real concerns about how this is no longer treat It's

1788
01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:56,200
Speaker 1: not treated as a problem. False reports are not treated

1789
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,880
Speaker 1: as as the issue that they should be, And in

1790
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:00,800
Speaker 1: the just smaller case, I think we're going to see

1791
01:50:00,840 --> 01:50:04,960
Speaker 1: that play out very soon. Stephen writes, Hey, Buck, just
