1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. New Zealand puts a 2 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: major gun band into the mix in order to prevent 3 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,159 Speaker 1: the next mass shooting. People say it looks like the 4 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: Australia model, and maybe America should be next. Guess what. 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: It won't work. I'll explain why, plus all of the 6 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: latest from the First Amendment battle. President Trump has signed 7 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: an executive order to make college campuses comply with free speech. 8 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: Think of that and owe so much more coming up 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: on The Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, 10 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really 11 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Mag No mistake, America, You're a 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins the Sectimately 13 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: Sexton No, the guns use in this terrorist attack had 14 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: important distinguishing features. I absolutely believe there will be a 15 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: common view amongst New Zealanders, those who use guns for 16 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: legitimate purposes and those who have never touched one, that 17 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: the time for the mass and easy availability of these 18 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: weapons must end of One of the failings of our system, 19 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: of course, means that we can have a range of 20 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: weapons that are of this power and caliber and simply 21 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: not know how many there are welcome to the Buck 22 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: Saxon show actions being taken in the aftermath of terrible 23 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: tragedy in New Zealand. That was the Prime Minister of 24 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: New Zealand saying that they are going to enact a 25 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: sweeping gun man. If that was Prime Minister Arderne. If 26 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: what she has proposed does become law, New Zealand would 27 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: declare private ownership of semi semi automatic weapons to be illegal. 28 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: It would ban all assault rifles, which it defines as 29 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: a semi automatic rifle. There'd be a mandatory buy back program. 30 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: There would be the elimination of high capacity magazines and 31 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: any firearm conversion kits, and the prohibition on any future 32 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: sales of such items or firearms. This is a big 33 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: time ban. Now. I understand the impulse after you have 34 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: fifty people horrifically murdered. I understand the impulse to do something. 35 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: I know that the public demands action or situation like this, 36 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: but I don't think that feelings and platitudes about how 37 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: to deal with those feelings make for good policy. Those 38 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: of you who might be sitting there saying, Buck, why 39 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: are we talking about New Zealand gun laws? Doesn't affect 40 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: us guess what the same way that stretching back into 41 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: the Obama administration and even before then, but particularly the 42 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: Obama administration, Australia's gun buyback program became a favorite talking 43 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: point of the gun grabbers and the anti gun crowd 44 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: in this country. This policy in New Zealand, if enacted, 45 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: and as it goes through, you're going to hear from 46 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: the anti Second Amendment lobby in this country, the entirety 47 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: of the mainstream media and all the other people who 48 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: remember they hate guns, they also hate gun owners. Unfortunately, 49 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: you're going to hear from them that if New Zealand 50 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: can take this action, why can't America. It will immediately 51 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: be used and we have a lot of linguistic and 52 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: cultural similarity with New Zealand, so it's not a hard 53 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: comparison for them to make. They're gonna say, wow, if 54 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: New Zealand could do this, why can't we. Well, there 55 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: are a couple of layers this. First of all, the 56 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: Australia model, which they've been talking about for years, is 57 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: not what the left says it is the very basics 58 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: of it. Or that in nineteen ninety six there was 59 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: a huge mass shooting in Australia and the Ausei government 60 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: decided that they would enact a similar a similar buyback 61 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: program where you had to turn in your weapons, you 62 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: received some payment for it, and the idea was that 63 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: this would get guns out of the hands of the 64 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: bad people. This came after the Port Arthur massacre in 65 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: Australia in nineteen ninety six, so there was a new 66 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: tax that paid for this, so they taxed people. There 67 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: was huge public support for this initially. You know how 68 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: successful they were in getting guns out of their hands 69 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: of private citizens in Australia. They got about a third 70 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: of them, they estimate, So of the three million guns 71 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: in private hands in Australia, they got about a third 72 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: of them in the year twenty seventeen alone. The gray 73 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: market weapons, which are guns that people still kept after 74 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: they were supposed to turn them in. They had a 75 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: drive to get more gray market weapons and they got 76 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: fifty seven thousand of them in twenty seventeen. So there 77 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: are at least hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of 78 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: guns still in Australia. What's so interesting is that after 79 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: this buyback program in Australia, the number of guns in 80 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: private hands in Aussie's citizens hands is higher than it 81 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: was before the buyback program, and there's never mind less 82 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: mass shootings. That's also true. There are fewer homicides, fewer 83 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: gun deaths, so you have more guns, fewer people dying 84 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: from gun violence. And that came after this whole policy 85 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: to get guns out of the hands of people, which 86 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: didn't even really work. So why would New Zealand look 87 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: to Australia and say, well, we want to do what 88 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: you did. It was just a whole lot of whole 89 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: lot of effort without any real payoff. And now you 90 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: look at the New Zealand situation specifically, they don't have 91 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: a Second Amendment, they don't have a right to bear arms, 92 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: And isn't isn't it so important for all of us 93 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: when we see situations like this that in advanced, sophisticated 94 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: countries with a lot of cultural similarity to our own, 95 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: the decision to just take guns out of the people's 96 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: hands can happen very quickly. You know, New Zealand has 97 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: about one point five million firearms in circulation. You know 98 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: how many how many murders it had in twenty seventeen 99 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: forty eight. It has a few million people and forty 100 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: eight murders, and for the last year they had a 101 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: So now, this mass shooting was more murders than the 102 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: entire country of New Zealand generally generally will suffer in 103 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: an entire year. And before this mass shooting, New Zealand 104 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: had the lowest murder rate it had ever locked in 105 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: in forty years. So here's what people don't want to 106 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: say after a mass strategy like this, but I will 107 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: because it's what the facts tell us. New Zealand does 108 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: not have a gun violence problem, and New Zealand statistically speaking, 109 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: does not have a mass shooting problem. Now beyond that, 110 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: let's say that the public reaction in New Zealand is 111 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: such that they don't care even if this would be 112 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: you know, they don't care if the likely effective of 113 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: effectiveness of this is low. They just want to do something. 114 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: The problem is doing something here, as they're laying it out, 115 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: would in no realistic universe change the possibility of a 116 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: mass casually terrorist attack like this going forward. The christ 117 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: Church murderer only needed a handful of weapons to kill 118 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: fifty people. There are over a million in circulation in 119 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: New Zealand right now, does anyone really think that they're 120 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: all just going to get turned in. Well the Australia. 121 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: The Australia model shows us that, you know, maybe you'll 122 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: get a third of them, maybe maybe you'll get half, 123 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: and you'll still have seven eight hundred thousand guns in circulation. 124 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: And even if you were to get all of the guns, 125 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: which is just not realistic, there can be vehicle attacks 126 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: that kill dozens and dozens of people more people were 127 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: killed in the Nice, France vehicle attack by a Jihadis 128 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: that were killed in this white supremacist shooting spree in 129 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: New Zealand. You also can have improvised improvised explosive devices, 130 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: people building bombs that can kill dozens of people. So 131 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: this is not a realistic solution in any way, shape 132 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: or form to stopping this kind of violence going forward. 133 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: But people want action. People are scared, and I understand 134 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: that New Zealand is not used to any kind of olence, 135 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: which is one of the reasons why this attacker knew 136 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: that he would get so much attention for this. Now, 137 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: let's just turn our our attention for a moment to 138 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: this country where I'm already hearing the usual voices. Oh, 139 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: we need to you know, we need to do this. 140 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: And you're hearing Democrat candidates and Kamala Harris and you know, 141 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: Corey Booker, and they want universal background checked. You know 142 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: Bernie's Bernie used to be not pro gun, but not 143 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: terrible on guns. He's from Vermont, which has some of 144 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: the laxus gun laws and some of the lowest gun 145 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: violence rates of any state in the country. Isn't that interesting? 146 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 1: But now, I mean, Bernie's got to appeal to the 147 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: far left. But in our own country there are one 148 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: hundred million gun owners that own about three hundred million guns. 149 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: Roughly speaking, that's a lot. What do they really think 150 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: will be accomplished by trying to do something it doesn't 151 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: even have to be quite as extreme as what they've 152 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: done or what they're trying to do now in New Zealand. 153 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: What do think will be accomplished by that? It's not feasible. 154 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: It's not possible that they would be able to get 155 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: all of those guns or anything near all those guns 156 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: out of civilian hands. In this country. There's also that 157 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: little stumbling block of the Second Amendment to the Constitution 158 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: that does give us the right to keep and bear arms, 159 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: one that has also been further codified by the dcv. 160 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: Heller decision that said no, no, you can have guns 161 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: and they can be anything that is in common usage 162 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: is okay, you are allowed to have one. The government 163 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: can't just say sorry, no, you don't get to have 164 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: a gun. But if they're not going to go with 165 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: the sweeping gun band of New Zealand, we all know 166 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: that an assault rifle band, changing the magazine, you know, 167 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: the amount of ammunition the magazine can hold, you know, 168 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: that won't do anything. That just makes the people who 169 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: push that stuff feel better about themselves. And I think 170 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: as much of motivation as anything else is that it 171 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: makes them feel better than the people who they disagree with, 172 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: because ultimately, the fight over guns country is a fight 173 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: over a rejection of the state's ability to determine that 174 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: we don't have the rights that we're supposed to have. 175 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: We don't have the rights that are codified and our 176 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: founding document. But it's also a back and forth in 177 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: the culture war where gun ownership is now affiliated with 178 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: in the minds of many people, and the statistics bear 179 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: this out. People that are supportive of the Second Amendment 180 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: tend to and not in all cases, but tend to 181 00:11:52,960 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: be in intact, families go to church, overwhelmingly create I 182 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: mean all the live and Redder states, all the things 183 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: that liberals hate. So guns are really a stand in 184 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: in the culture war now for right wing and anything 185 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: that the left and the leftist media can do to 186 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: poke at, defame, undermine, agitate people that want to own 187 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: guns or that do own guns, they will do. The 188 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: New Zealand ban is a completely unseerious policy in the 189 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: American context, and unfortunately for New zealand And I'm not 190 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: even talking about the possibility of let's just be honest, 191 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: the possibility of insurrection in parts of this country if 192 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: the government went door to door and try to take 193 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: all of our guns of rebellion against government authority with violence, 194 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: which would be a terrible thing, a terrifying thing. But 195 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: I think that would happen if the government went door 196 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: to door and try to take everyone's guns in violation 197 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: of the Second Amendment. But it's also a shame that, 198 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: you know, in New Zealand, they are allowing in a sense, 199 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: a terrorist to determine their laws and their rights, and 200 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: that should not be the case. Unfortunately it is. We 201 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: have the show with a lot of ground of cover today, 202 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: the First Amendment, Immigration, more on these gun proposals. That's 203 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: even just in the first hour or so, So team 204 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: stay with me. I'll be back with much more. We 205 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: do not make or enforce immigration laws part of our 206 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: law enforcement duties. That will be attack for this policy directive, 207 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: maybe even by ice. However, a detainer request is not 208 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: a valid warmth. There you have a North Carolina sheriff 209 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: saying what the reality of a sanctuary city policy is. 210 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna talk more later on in the 211 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: show about what's happening at the border. Obviously, the crisis 212 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: isn't a crisis, of course it is. Why do Democrats 213 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: lie about it? All this stuff? But there you really 214 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: get get down into the into the nuts and bolts 215 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: of the issue, where you've got law enforcement that's been 216 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: told and some of them obviously believe this that it's 217 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: not even a it's not valid for the federal government 218 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: to ask local law enforcement to keep somebody who was 219 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: already in their detention for the federal government's purposes. Essentially, 220 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: local law enforcement will not assist the federal government in 221 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: its completely legitimate law enforcement authorities. You know this, you 222 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: know Imagine for a second if they were going into 223 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: a drug bust in a house and the FBI is 224 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: going in and they asked for some help from a 225 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: local police department, and local police department said, you know what, sorry, 226 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: we're not into this whole drug bust thing, so you 227 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: guys are on your own. I mean, people would consider 228 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: that to be kind of an outrage, right, I mean, 229 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: I think that that would not sit very well. But 230 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: here you have the reality of immigration enforcement in this country, 231 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: which is that the Democrats and the entire Democrat apparatus, 232 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: which does include a lot of people who work in 233 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: law enforcement, a lot of senior sheriffs and police commissioners, 234 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: and they're in cities where sanctuary policies are very popular. 235 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: If you mess with the league immigrants at all, if 236 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: you get on the wrong side of this issue, you 237 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: probably won't have a job. But they will not help 238 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: their law enforcement brethren. And sister and sister in a word, 239 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: I might have just made up a word, but you 240 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: know what I mean. North Carolina Sheriff Quentin Miller, I mean, 241 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: I understand the position he's in, and he probably he's 242 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: getting criticized right now on this radio show, but federal 243 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: law enforcement should be able to ask for assistance from 244 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: local law enforcement without this being a problem. And the 245 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: courts have not have not in fact ruled that what 246 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: he says is true, that I detained requests from the 247 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: federal government is not valid. But this is where we're heading. 248 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is part of the fight that we 249 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: have to have now. There's going to be a lot 250 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: of legal wrangling over what do we do about sanctuary 251 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: city policy, how do we enact better procedures going forward 252 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: so that you can't have these local law these local 253 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: jurisdictions that decide they're not going to play ball. Really, 254 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: the single, the single biggest problem right now for the 255 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: Trump administration is that immigration enforcement right now is worse 256 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: than it has been in years. And I just don't 257 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: think that we've really come around to understanding that. I 258 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: think that there's almost a denialism that has crept into 259 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: the thinking on the right about this. We have not 260 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: won on the sanctuary city issue. We have not secured 261 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: the border. The asylum problem at our southern border is 262 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: completely out of control. It is a crisis. We'll talk 263 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: more about that later, but even interior enforcement is not 264 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: what it should be and the reforms that we were 265 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: promised to the immigration, the legal immigration system have not occurred. 266 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: This system is being abused, scammed, leveraged, and messed with 267 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: in so many ways. It's dizzying. And the American people 268 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: elected Trump because we said enough, enough is enough, and 269 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: here we are. I could not tell you. It would 270 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: be dishonest for me to tell you that this is 271 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: going the way that it should. It would be dishonest 272 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: for me to say that President Trump has managed to 273 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: corral the Republicans into important action on immigration. Some of 274 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: the stuff he did was good, but the courts went 275 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: against him. DOCCA, for example, is still the policy of 276 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: the United States government, even though President Trump tried to 277 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: roll it back. And we can't rely just on judicial 278 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: decisions because those can always go the other way and 279 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: that process can get very delayed. And this is you 280 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: want to talk about existential for the country. Mean, America 281 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: is going to be a very different place if you 282 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: have an amnesty, because you're going to have twenty million 283 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: people that are permanent residents who are I think also 284 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: Democrats are at that point going to be able to 285 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: get them to be able to vote, because why not, 286 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: and that will be the end of the Republican Party. 287 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: So the stakes here are very high, folks. What CNN 288 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: didn't tell people is that they allowed and invited politicians 289 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: to come up on stage and electioneer. Scott Israel was 290 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: able to make a big o electioneering speech before this 291 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: even began, in which he already started deflecting blame by 292 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: putting it on me. It was treated as this I 293 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: think for ratings. They tried to stylize to make it 294 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: most emotionally impactful. I questioned the ethics of them putting 295 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: it on this way. This wasn't Tucker, This wasn't a 296 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: journalistic endeavor. They had this town hall literally titled it 297 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: was called stand Up the students of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas 298 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: demand Action. That's not a journalistic endeavor. That is not 299 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: a journalistic enterprise. That's advocacy. That's right, because CNN is 300 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: a propaganda organization for the left. That was my former 301 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: colleague Dana Lash talking to Tucker about how CNN has 302 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: gotten an award name for Walter Cronkite because of their 303 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: town hall on gun control, which was just an effort 304 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: to slam and smear everybody who believes in the second Amendment, 305 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: everyone who understands why we have a second amendment. That 306 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: was CNN's moment to bring together its audience in hatred 307 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: of people who think that the right to bear arms 308 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: is important. We know what really happened at Marjorie Stoneman 309 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: Douglas High School in terms of government failure, and the 310 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: government failure that was the most egregious occurred. You could 311 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: argue long before the actual shooting, when there was call 312 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: after call where Nicholas Cruz was visited by police time 313 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: and time again. You know, dozens of calls. Everyone knew 314 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: that this guy was a bad kid. That's it is 315 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: a thing, you know. I know we all like to 316 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: believe that people everyone's capable of salvation. I think everyone 317 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: maybe is capable of salvation, but some people are bad 318 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: and he was a bad kid. But if you want 319 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: to look for egregious government malfeasance, the policies of Sheriff 320 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: Scott Israel in that county in Florida were designed to 321 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: appease the social justice left, and he was playing politics 322 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: all across the board with how they would react act 323 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: to referrals for students to be arrested or students who 324 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: were breaking the law. They were cooking the books to 325 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: make it all look better and to make it all 326 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: tidy for the social justice left. And then that one 327 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: officer who just sat outside the building and didn't go 328 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: inside and refused to go inside as all those gunshots 329 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: were going off helpless students inside, and he was armed, 330 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: he was trained. He chose to just wait, just wait. 331 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: It was cowardice. And CNN, though, didn't focus on any 332 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: of that. No, no, no, they went the opposite direction. 333 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: They held Scott Israel up as some kind of a 334 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: hero in this whole process. They held him up as 335 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: the voice of reason. And those Stoneman you know, the handful, 336 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 1: It was really about two or three of them of 337 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: Stoneman Douglass students who were then turned in overnight turned 338 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: into a kind of policy rock stars on gun control. 339 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: And we're running around Prince Jeoffrey style calling for boycotts 340 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: against people and just just trying to just destroy people 341 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: because everyone was, oh, you can't criticize them, they're just 342 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: kids and they've suffered a tragedy. Well are they kids 343 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 1: who suffered a tragedy or are they adults who suffered 344 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: a tragedy and now think that they have the right 345 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: to dictate national policy to people who know a lot 346 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: more than them about everything that we're talking about here. 347 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: But there was that moment, there was that moment in 348 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: time when they were able to exploit that to the fullest, 349 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: and they did. That's CNN town hall. I remember I 350 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: watched it and by the producer Mike just pointed out 351 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: to me that Israel was removed from office. I mean, 352 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: there was in January, they got rid of them. There 353 00:22:50,840 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: was obvious obvious ineptitude, dereliction of duty on display from 354 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: Israel and from some of the uh, you know, school 355 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: resource officers. Don't we just call him like school cops, 356 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: but I mean school resource officers that were on that 357 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: We're on hand there, and you know, I just I 358 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: remember watching that CNN town hall and thinking, how does 359 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: anybody really believe that CNN is not the media arm 360 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: of the day of the d NC. You know, how 361 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: does anyone believe that that's not the case? Um, And 362 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: and that they're getting they're getting awards for themselves. I mean, 363 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: that's it's not enough to just be a bunch of 364 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: propagandists for anti for the the anti gun movement, and 365 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: and to say, I mean the stuff that the that 366 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: kid what was what's his name now, um pruser, Mike, 367 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: what's the you know? The there was what Emma Gonzalez 368 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: was the young woman, and then there was the who's 369 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: the hog? David Hog? Oh my god, I could forget him. 370 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: I know, well, I think I think it was intentional, 371 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: Like my memory banks, I just because I remember him 372 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: going around and saying the most outrageous, indefensible horrifics of 373 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: the NRA is a terrorist organization. The NIRA has blood 374 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: on its hands. These senators are all bought and paid for. 375 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: You know, these congress were all bought and paid for 376 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: by the NRA. They all blood on their hands. This 377 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: guy's running around in with you know. Michel Maddow said 378 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: that she was like fangirling over them when they showed up. 379 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: I mean that, that's what you know. Oh, I'm just 380 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: so like so impressed and amazed to see all this 381 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: guy's running on, calling people blood so terrorists who had 382 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: nothing to do with anything. And if you dare to 383 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: criticize him, you risk you risked your livelihood, you risked 384 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: your profession. Because he was one of the anointed. You 385 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: can't criticize that guy. People that the left will create 386 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: and then weaponize for political purposes. You know, the the 387 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: weaponization of victimization is something the left excels in and 388 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: has been doing for a very long time. I always 389 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: give all due credit to Ann Coulter, who was the 390 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: only one who would point out that the quote nine 391 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: to eleven widows were really a handful of Democrat women 392 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: who had lost their husbands. That is true, obviously, and 393 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: that is very sad and very solemn. But we're cutting 394 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: campaign commercials for John Kerry on foreign policy and the 395 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 1: US response to terrorism. And then if you said anything 396 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: like I don't think that they're right on this, how 397 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: dare you question the nine eleven widows? And no surprise 398 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: to any of you, there are a lot of other 399 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: nine to eleven widows who are like, Oh, let's go 400 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: kill the bad guys now, thank you. Let's find them 401 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: and root them out of their caves and take them out, 402 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, that was the that was the attitude, 403 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: But that wasn't what you heard from the media, because 404 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: they had created the special class of victim that is 405 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: able to dictate to the rest of us without being challenged. 406 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: And that was what the CNN town hall on gun 407 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: control was all about. You know, I'm always amazed. Also, 408 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: I wrote my piece today in in the Hill on 409 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: how the New Zealand approach here is just not going 410 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: to work. I mean, it's not going to do anything. 411 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: It's not even really dealing with a problem that New 412 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: Zealand has. I mean my piece was New Zealand's gun 413 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: band is not the answer to stop mass shootings. And 414 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: you know, there are almost a thousand comments on this piece, 415 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: and you know so many of them are oh, you know, 416 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: people attack me. I just make an argument here for why. 417 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: And the argument's very clear. The New Zealand gun band 418 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: is not going to stop mass shootings for all the 419 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: reasons that we've been talking about. And instead of engaging 420 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: with the argument, people do is they say that my 421 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: face is ugly, or I'm stupid, or I'm a I'm 422 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: a coward who doesn't care about dead children or you know, 423 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: dead people or dead Muslims or whatever it is. I mean, 424 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: whether you know people think my face is ugly or not, 425 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: put that aside. The rest of that is obviously not true. 426 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: But see this, this is what gets to the heart 427 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: of the issue and it's one that we unfortunately cannot 428 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: avoid talking about because it is reality that opposition in 429 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: this country now, opposition to the Second Amendment, has much 430 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: more to do with the dislike that the left has 431 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: the real, deep disdain that it holds for gun owners. 432 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: That's right, For those of you who listen to this, 433 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: who own firearms and believe in the Second Amendment, the 434 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: left hates you. That's what this is really about. They 435 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: hate you because also your ownership of guns means a 436 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: lot of other things about your politics and what you're 437 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: likely to believe, and that's what the cultural divide really is. 438 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: They know that it's not gunn This isn't going to 439 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: stop there. If we try to do in New Zealand, 440 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: it would never happen. It's not going to stop any violence. 441 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: But they like to lecture people on how we need 442 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: to take action on guns. So then when you say no, 443 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: they can say, see, you don't care about dead kids 444 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: because you're a bad person, because you know what, that's 445 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: what they believe. So my buddy Lawrence Jones was down 446 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: in Texas trying to get a trying to get a 447 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: handle I think on betomania, which is sweeping media green 448 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: rooms and big newspaper newsrooms. But Betomania is the thing. 449 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: I guess if you believe in all that, yeah, it's 450 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: a thing because like when the unity of America is 451 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: open to its heart and it you hold hands with 452 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: the openness and you all, yeah, you get it. Lawrence, 453 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: my buddy walked around. He asked people in Texas, is 454 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: there anything that you can name that Beto has done 455 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: that is truly an accomplishment? I mean, you know, is 456 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: there anything that you could say? And here is how 457 00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: that went? Plate ten. Beto is the candidate this running 458 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: for president. What do you feel about him? I feel 459 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: that he brings a new perspective to politics. His philosophy 460 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: on how government should be run is a little not 461 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: going to say extreme, but kind of bordering on socialism. 462 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: What would you say is his number one accomplishment? Well, 463 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not terribly familiar with his congressional record. 464 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: Would you vote for him for president? Absolutely? So, if 465 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: you could name one accomplishment Upbato, what would you say? 466 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: I just think he's a real people person and he's 467 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: gotten a lot of people behind him. What would you 468 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: say was his biggest accomplishment? I don't know. I really 469 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: can't say what his biggest accomplishment was I voted for 470 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: him last time, but probably not for president. I don't 471 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: think he's quite quite ready for them. Hell, because I 472 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: about turning down the wall. If you could name one 473 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: accomplishment upbate or what would you name almost beating Jed 474 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: Cruise because accomplishment? Yeah, that part I don't know. Oh heck, 475 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: I really don't know. No, he doesn't have one, does he. 476 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: And yet, by the way, I like that he's a 477 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: people person. He's good with people. That one lady said, 478 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: he's a people person. That's what that made me think of. 479 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: There's your movie quote for the day. Uh, Betto is 480 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: a real contender. Just I know, people, I have had 481 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: my mind changed on this. I went from this guy 482 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: sounds like Napoleon Dynamite mixed with Keanu Reeves from the nineties, 483 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,479 Speaker 1: and he has all the the intellectual heft of you know, 484 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: a soul cycle instructor mixed with a yoga instructor mixed 485 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: with an Aaron Sorkin character from the nineties. And yet 486 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,719 Speaker 1: you heard some people there really get to the essence 487 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: of Betoism, which is people vote for candidates that and 488 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot out of social science to back this up. 489 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: People vote for candidates that make them feel a certain 490 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: way for voting for that candidate. And if the perception 491 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: around Beto is that he's cool and open and different 492 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: and relatable and likable and all these things, the Democrats 493 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: will fill in the blanks on everything else. And the 494 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: media will take this and they will run it like 495 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: like they are all his campaign managers. I mean, they're 496 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: just gonna run with this all the way. I think 497 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: that you could really see Beto go the distance. Biden 498 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: is a clown. He's too old, he's too boring, he's 499 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: too you know, just too many gaffs. His records, he's 500 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: got all kinds of problems in it. You know, Biden 501 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: is not He's not gonna be able to ride on 502 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: Obama's coattails into office. It's not gonna happen. And you know, 503 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: you look around at the rest of the field other 504 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: than Betto, and you got this guy like John Hickenlooper, 505 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: What the heck is he doing? Play fourteen governor. Some 506 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: of your male competitors have vowed to put a woman 507 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: on the ticket. Yes or no? Would you do the same, 508 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: Well again, of course, but I think that we should 509 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: be well, I'll ask you another question. How come we 510 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: aren't asking the questions? I know, I know, but half 511 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: couple were not asking. We're not asking more often the women. 512 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: Would you be willing to put a man on the 513 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: ticket when we get to that point? And what does 514 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: that even mean? Dude? What what was that? I think? 515 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: Is he the guy Mike who was he was the 516 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: drinking the water guy, right, but it wasn't really the water? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 517 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: he's he's I'm gonna drink the water to prove actually 518 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: it's not really the right water, prove the rivers clean. 519 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: Some of the some of our Colorado audience will remember 520 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: that one better than I do. He's a weird Yeah, 521 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: he seems seems like a weird dude. Um, you know 522 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: I am. I'm gonna sit down tomorrow with Andrew Yang, 523 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: so that'll be interesting for sure. That's a little discussion 524 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: about all that stuff. And you also have a comparison, 525 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: and when you look around at some of the other 526 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: Democrats and things that they're willing to say, Beto does 527 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: seem kind of normal by comparison, you know, that's you 528 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: can't underestimate that component of this. I mean, there's something 529 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: about the guy that doesn't. He's not as as as 530 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: creepy and pathetically obsessively social climbing, at least in his 531 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: mannerisms and in his approach. He obviously wants a lot 532 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: of attention and all that, and that's why he's like 533 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: live streaming, Like I'm just I woke up this morning 534 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,959 Speaker 1: and I just had like I just had this like 535 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: desire for cheerios. So I wanted to just I wanted 536 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: just live stream eating cheerios. And then everyone goes, thanks 537 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: Betto for the cheerios. But you compare in to guys, like, 538 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, some of the others that are in this race, 539 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: and you know, he seems kind of normal. And people 540 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: are all over the play talking about how they want 541 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: to just destroy some of the main institutions of the 542 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: government that we have. Right, they want to pack the 543 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, they want to get rid of the electoral College. 544 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: Oh here we had Democrat Steve Cohen today say this 545 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: factually inaccurate thing about the electoral college. Play three. The 546 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: country is different than it was when the constitution was drafted, 547 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: and when the constitution was drafted, a lot of it 548 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: had to do with slavery. This is all conceived and 549 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: sent and perpetuating, perpetuating slavery on the American people and 550 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: on the African American people directly. The electoral college is 551 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: all about perpetuating slavery, he says, or was all about 552 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: perpetuating slavery. See I heard him stumble on the word, 553 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: and now I'm stumbling on the word. You know all 554 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: the facts. First, people over at CNN, do they ever 555 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: check any of this stuff? Do they care when Democrats 556 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: just make stuff up or get things wrong historically or otherwise? Nah, 557 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: they don't care. They don't care. That's why we don't 558 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: care when Trump says he's worth nine billion and they 559 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: say he's only worth five. Big hour two coming up, 560 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: you got President Trump is putting forward this executive order 561 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: today on free speech. This is important. I think this 562 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: really matters. It affects college campuses. But colleges are the 563 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: laboratories for liberal insanity. And it is about time that 564 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: the White House, the federal government put its foot down 565 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: with this, the left wing bias on campus. We have 566 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: to wage we have to wage war against this idea 567 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: that these campuses can just be overrun with Marxist lunatics. 568 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: In America, the very heart of the university's mission is 569 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: preparing students for life as citizens in a free society. 570 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: But even as universities have received billions and billions of 571 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: dollars from taxpayers, many have become increasingly hostile to free 572 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: speech and to the First Amendment. You see it all 573 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: the time. Taxpayer dollars should not subsidize anti First Amendment institutions, 574 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what they are anti First Amendment university 575 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,879 Speaker 1: is that one taxpayer dollars should promote free speech, not 576 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: silence free speech. I think is as fantastic and it's 577 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: a long time in coming, and it should have happened 578 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: a long time ago. Here we are now with an 579 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: administration that's saying, you know what, if we're going to 580 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: use federal dollars and the threat of the removal of 581 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: federal dollars to public and private universities across the country 582 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: to enforce Title nine regulations, to you, to enforce these 583 00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: stacked courts against of sexual those accused of sexual all 584 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: I mean, these are all things. I mean, the Obama 585 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: administration wasn't shy about saying, you know, you better do 586 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: this or else you're gonna have a Title nine problem. Well, 587 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: guess what. The federal government doesn't have to write checks 588 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: to any of these places. And the federal government should 589 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: be defending the very principles that our government's legitimacy is 590 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: built on, and one of those is the First Amendment 591 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: to the Constitution. The President is spot on here, and 592 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: he knows that the money is the way. Money is 593 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: the only way you hit the other side and get 594 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: them to really pay attention to play seventeen. Under the 595 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: policy I am announcing today, federal agencies will use their 596 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 1: authority under various grant making programs to ensure that public 597 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: universities protect, cherish protect the First Amendment and First Amendment 598 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:02,240 Speaker 1: rights of their students or risk losing billions and billions 599 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: of dollars of federal taxpayer dollars. We will not stand 600 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: idly by and allow public institutions to violate their students' 601 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: constitutional rights. If a college or university doesn't allow you 602 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 1: to speak, we will not give them money. It's very simple. 603 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: This is the right move. It's amazing that it's taken 604 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: this long to get to this point. I wrote my 605 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:36,240 Speaker 1: college thesis under the esteemed conservative professor of jurisprudence. Professor 606 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: had the archies who you know if you listen to 607 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: the show enough from his several guest appearances over the years. 608 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: But I wrote my college thesis on campus speech codes, 609 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: and this has been a problem for decades now, and 610 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: it really it's an outgrowth of really the nineteen eighties 611 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: and nineteen nineties movements of political correctness and the left 612 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: desires and the left's desire to control what you can say, 613 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: control what you can think, and get their way as 614 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: a result of that control, you know, enact further policies 615 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: because because if they can direct the debate, then they 616 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: can also get the actions that they want from it, 617 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: and so they will set these parameters that are ridiculous. 618 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: Then they'll call things hate speech. You're like, that's not 619 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: hate speech, it's just speech. It's just a disagreement, you know, 620 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're the parameters of what is 621 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: considered hate speech. If we allow this to continue on, 622 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: we're not gonna allowed to say anything anymore. Everything is racist, 623 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 1: everything is sexist, everything is xenophobic, islamophobic. On any issue 624 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: of public importance, and increasingly just on any issue, you 625 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: can't really say anything. It is time for conservatives to 626 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 1: really not just take a stand, you know, in rhetorical terms, 627 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: but to take a stand that's going to matter, and 628 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: I think the President is doing that here. This is 629 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: going to send a real message to these colleges and 630 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: universities that the days of you saying that it's it's 631 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 1: too triggering, it equals violence. The speech on campus equals 632 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: violence of say a pro life group putting out a 633 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: table that says that you know, abortion is murder. That's 634 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: too triggering. You can't say that you're not allowed to 635 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: have an affirmative action bakesale on campus where you charge 636 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: different prices. I mean, these are things that have happened 637 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: at campuses. Can't do that too triggering? And how bad 638 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,479 Speaker 1: can it really get? I mean, where where do we head? 639 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: And that's important in all of this. It's important to 640 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: keep that context for this conversation. Where do we go 641 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: if we don't say that this is crazy? You know, 642 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: I've been telling you for a long time that what 643 00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: the liberal campuses promote is what liberalism writ large will 644 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: oh gosh, I said, writ large because I'm in DC, 645 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: and that's what everybody always says here. What liberalism overall 646 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: will embrace and enforce as orthodoxy it's just a matter 647 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: of time. It starts on the campuses. Well, you can 648 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: also look at other countries that we share, you know, 649 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: cultural heritage with Canada of the UK, for example, and 650 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: how far down this road to speech suppression because you know, 651 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: they don't have a real First Amendment, they don't have 652 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:36,400 Speaker 1: the same legal and built in cultural traditions that we 653 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: do of free speech and the free exchange of ideas. 654 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: How bad can it really get? Well? In the UK, 655 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: they will send you. People will cheer if you get 656 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: sent to prison for misgendering. Someone play eighteen in the 657 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: papers today is a transgender woman called Katie Yeoman's it's 658 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: demanding two and a half thousand pounds compensation because rails 659 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: called her son. Apparently she's six foot tall, has short hair, 660 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,280 Speaker 1: doesn't wear makeup. So I would imagine it's a reasonably 661 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: easy mistake for rail staff to make and they're trying 662 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: to be polite by saying sir or madam depending on 663 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: how they identify. I don't know, we don't know the context. 664 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: But if it is, if it is that context, how 665 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: can that be a matter for compensation. I mean, it's 666 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: just a it's just a mistake isn't it? But is 667 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 1: it a mistake. If it's happening once, I'm sure that 668 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,720 Speaker 1: the lady will accept that it's an error and somebody's 669 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: slipped up. But if if it's repeated, then it's probably not. 670 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: I mean the case you're referring to earlier on the 671 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: two individuals Susie Green, who I actually know. The amount 672 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: of abuse she gets for running a transgender charity is insane. 673 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: She gets trolled every Sunday day. But so what are 674 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: we supposed to do here about? So there? I mean 675 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 1: that was about compensation payment. There are other people think 676 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: you should go to jail for doing it, And you 677 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,399 Speaker 1: can get kicked off of Twitter for dead naming, which 678 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: means you refer to somebody who's transgender by their previous 679 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: gender name to get kicked off of Twitter for that. 680 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: Now you can get sued obviously, that's what they were 681 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: discussing the UK for this. Now I would tell you that, 682 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, if you can get sued and the court 683 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: can demand payment and you don't pay, they also could 684 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,720 Speaker 1: put you in jail for contempt. So it's not like, oh, 685 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: you have to pay. This person is just a financial thing. 686 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: If you want principle, refuse to pay someone because you 687 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: thought they were a heat, but it's a she or 688 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 1: a she, but it's a heat. You can go to 689 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:37,320 Speaker 1: jail for that. In a sense, this is crazy. Is crazy, 690 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:43,240 Speaker 1: and the left, with no more real civil rights battles 691 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: to wage in this country, they have they have created 692 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: this new front of transgender rights and part of the 693 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,959 Speaker 1: right that the transgender movement and the left which uses 694 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: the transgender movement as it's it's real kind of vanguard 695 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: of social change. Part of the demands that they have 696 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,839 Speaker 1: set up. One of the demands is that you have 697 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: to be a party to a lie, which is that 698 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,399 Speaker 1: a man is a woman and a woman is a man. 699 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,879 Speaker 1: And if you are unwilling to do that, you should 700 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: suffer consequences, and not just social consequences, not just people 701 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: telling you that that's in and you're nasty and you're 702 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: a bad person, because you're gonna expect all of that. 703 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: They want the state to step in. It should send 704 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,760 Speaker 1: a chill up the spines of every honest, intelligent person 705 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: in this country that it is now mainstream among the 706 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: left to want the state to intervene to force you 707 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: to say something that is just not true, as objectively 708 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,439 Speaker 1: untrue as anything can be. A man is not a woman, 709 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 1: and a woman is not a man. This is These 710 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: are facts. They do not alter or shift based upon 711 00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: public perception and cultural whims. This is why the First 712 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 1: Amendment action on campus that Trump is taking you so important, 713 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 1: because if we don't stop this now, it's going to crazytown, no, 714 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 1: no where in Syria. We're leaving two hundred people there 715 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 1: at two hundred people in another place in area closer 716 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 1: to Israel for a period of time. I brought this 717 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 1: out for you because this is a map of everything 718 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: in the red. This was on election night in twenty sixteen. 719 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 1: Everything red is isis When I took it over, it 720 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: was a mess. Now on the bottom that's the exact same. 721 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 1: There is no red. In fact, there's actually a tiny 722 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:52,879 Speaker 1: spot which will be gone by tonight, which is basically gone. Now. 723 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: The Islamic State as a state is defeated, something that 724 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: we should celebrate. Our Kurdish Syrian ally should celebrate, the 725 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 1: Iraqi people, the Mideast, the whole world should be celebrating 726 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: in their own way the destruction of this malignant, malignant 727 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 1: cancer of an organization that has resulted in so much 728 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: death and dismemberment, despair, misery, slavery, rape. The Islamic State 729 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: was a grotesque terror organization and it has been defeated 730 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: as much as any terrorist group can be defeated. If 731 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: we're going to adhere to this, will you fight the 732 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,839 Speaker 1: ideology not the group. Let me tell you we're never 733 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: going to destroy the ideology of evil in general and 734 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,360 Speaker 1: more specifically Islamic jihadism. It will always be there. But 735 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean there aren't important victories along the way. 736 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 1: And this is a victory. We have in fact defeated 737 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 1: the Islamic State. It's also actor that the president gets 738 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,399 Speaker 1: not nearly enough credit for. From the look, the real 739 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: credit goes to the men on the ground doing the fighting, 740 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: all right, and that includes our US Specops guys and 741 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,760 Speaker 1: the pilots and the people that have been and the trainers, 742 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 1: the people, and that's that's who gets the real credit. 743 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,959 Speaker 1: But but from a commander in chief executive decision perspective, 744 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: this president came into office, it's like, what do you 745 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: mean you're not letting air strikes that the guys on 746 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: the ground want to call in happen? What do you 747 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: mean you're not letting the four deployed commanders make the 748 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,840 Speaker 1: decisions about how to proceed in his fight against the 749 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,279 Speaker 1: Islamic State. Why why over lawyer this thing? Well, that 750 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 1: was what Obama was doing. Very limited strikes from the 751 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: air and a real hesitation, a real hesitation to unleash 752 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: a greater degree of our military capability against these evil 753 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,919 Speaker 1: fanatics of the Islamic State. And you know, keep in mind, 754 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 1: it's not like if we just do less there are 755 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: there are less casualties. When we take the fight harder 756 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: to the enemy, it means, yes, there'll be more enemy casualties, 757 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 1: but it also means there'll be fewer casualties for our 758 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 1: for the Syrian Democratic forces, for the Kurdish militias that 759 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,319 Speaker 1: we've been working with. You know, it's it's not a 760 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,279 Speaker 1: it's not like we're just choosing there to be less death. 761 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes by choosing less aggressive operations because of political concerns 762 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,320 Speaker 1: that the Obama administration obviously had, there was a greater 763 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: degree of casualties. It's likely you'll suffer a great a 764 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 1: degree of casualties for those who are doing the fighting 765 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,879 Speaker 1: on your behalf against the bad guys. I mean, under 766 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 1: Trump's watch we blew up two hundred Russians. I think 767 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: it was in the desert, who are paramilitaries fighting alongside 768 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 1: the Assad regime. We accelerated, which was stunning, how little 769 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,919 Speaker 1: media attention that got by the way, we accelerated air 770 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:10,879 Speaker 1: strikes by a huge factor, and collapse. The Islamic state 771 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,839 Speaker 1: did it very very quickly. And for those who are 772 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 1: going to take a moment to look at this victory, 773 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 1: I think it's important to remember that the Obama administration 774 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,960 Speaker 1: was unbelievably inept at dealing with Syria. I mean, they 775 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 1: really made the wrong call in Syria. Every time. It 776 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 1: was almost like they were trying to get it wrong. 777 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: You know, they were just completely lacking in any real vision. 778 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you got you got Joe Biden, who is 779 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,720 Speaker 1: trying to make the case that what Obama did arming 780 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 1: Syrian rebels was a good thing. Plate twelve. We are 781 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,280 Speaker 1: working hand and glove with the Turks, with the Jordanians, 782 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 1: with the Saudis, and with all the people in the region, 783 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 1: attempting to identify the people who deserve the help so 784 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,879 Speaker 1: that when Assad goes, and he will go, there will 785 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 1: be a legitimate government that follows on, not an al 786 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,920 Speaker 1: Qaeda sponsored government that follows on Biden is such an 787 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 1: empty suit. You know, Biden's whole thing is to sound 788 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 1: like a politician that's smarter than the people that he's 789 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 1: talking to, when he's actually, in reality, dumber than the 790 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 1: people that he's talking to. But you know, he tries 791 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,400 Speaker 1: to put on the air, he tries to sound authoritative, 792 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: sound like he really understands this policy matter. And you'll 793 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,399 Speaker 1: notice that he said there back in the day, oh yeah, 794 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna get Assad will go. No, he won't, Asad's 795 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:47,160 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. So he was clearly wrong on that. 796 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 1: And the Obama administration trying to do this multilateral you know, 797 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 1: razzle dazzle of oh the UN and you know, and 798 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,040 Speaker 1: the Syrians civil war spiral out of control, created a 799 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 1: humanitarian crisis that rocketed through Europe, led to the largest 800 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: rise in global jihadism since nine to eleven. Mass casualty 801 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 1: attacks in Europe, mass casualty attacks on US soil by 802 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 1: adherents of Islamic state ideology and supporters lone wolf supporters, particularly, 803 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: all that happened under Obama's watch. Notice how that's not 804 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:30,560 Speaker 1: happening now? Where is the terrorism safe haven, where there 805 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 1: are mass casualty attacks being planned against European allies or 806 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:40,319 Speaker 1: against where where's that it's not happening. It did not 807 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,520 Speaker 1: have to happen the way that it did under Obama's watch. 808 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,720 Speaker 1: But there was an unserious foreign policy team in place, 809 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,720 Speaker 1: people like Susan Rice and Samantha Power and Ben Rhodes. 810 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 1: These people don't know anything, They don't have good judgment, 811 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: they don't understand the way the world really works. And 812 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 1: that was that was in fact why our policy in 813 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,719 Speaker 1: Syria was so disastrous while Obama was in charge. I 814 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,600 Speaker 1: think at one point they spent I think it was 815 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars to train seven troops. You can 816 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 1: go back and check on this. Five hundred million dollars 817 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,799 Speaker 1: spent to train seven sold At the end of the day, 818 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: they were left with seven actual fighters that they that 819 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 1: this is through the Pentagon that they trained under the 820 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:35,640 Speaker 1: Obama administrations watch in Syria. I mean, they could not 821 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 1: abate more of a hash of things, weren't able to 822 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 1: box out Russia at all, weren't able to you know, 823 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 1: their their whole approach was just to talk tough on 824 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: this issue, didn't enforce the red line, about chemical weapons. 825 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 1: Trump enforced the Red Line and chemical weapons. Here's a 826 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,319 Speaker 1: big difference in foreign policy between Obama and Trump. If 827 00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 1: Trump says, you know what, if they punch us, I'm 828 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 1: gonna punch them back, everybody leaves him. When Obama would say, 829 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,879 Speaker 1: or if they punched us, we're gonna punch him back, 830 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,880 Speaker 1: people thought, well, you know what is MSNBC going to 831 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 1: say about it in the morning. Do they think we 832 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 1: should punch back at the answers, No, Obama's probably not 833 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 1: gonna want to punch back. He's gonna want to hold 834 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 1: some kind of a meeting. Obama was a hold of 835 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,279 Speaker 1: meeting guy. Obama was always able to get away with 836 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 1: being contemplative, they said, when really he was just indecisive. 837 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 1: And when you were the commander in chief and you're 838 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 1: the chief executive of the United States government, indecision is 839 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: not a good thing. They can try to mask it 840 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 1: as being contemplative as much as they want, But Obama 841 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 1: just wasn't very good at making the call on this stuff. 842 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: Certainly not in Syria. We'll be right back. Let it 843 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,480 Speaker 1: come out, let people see it. That's up to the 844 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,080 Speaker 1: attorney general. If a very good attorney general he is 845 00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 1: a very highly respected man, and we'll see what happens. 846 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 1: I want to see the report, and you know, we 847 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 1: want to say the tens of millions of people that 848 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,759 Speaker 1: love the fact that we have the greatest economy we've 849 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 1: ever had. I know nothing about it. I know that 850 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:15,120 Speaker 1: he's conflicted, and I know that his best friend is 851 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: coming who's a bad cop, and I know that there 852 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,920 Speaker 1: are other things. Obviously. You know, I had a business 853 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:26,080 Speaker 1: transaction with him that I've reported many times that you 854 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 1: people don't talk about. But I had a nasty business 855 00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: transaction with him, and other things. I know that he 856 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: put thirteen highly conflicted, and you know, very angry. I 857 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 1: call him angry Democrats in we all that big set. 858 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,759 Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing the report. Trump wants that 859 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,279 Speaker 1: report out. He's not gonna walk back from that now. 860 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: But why would you want to walk back from it? 861 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,319 Speaker 1: Muller Report's not gonna have collusion. You know. The nice 862 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,280 Speaker 1: thing of being Trump is that they can't get away 863 00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 1: with fabricating evidence at this level. And there's no evidence 864 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 1: of collusion because collusion didn't happen. We keep hearing these 865 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 1: rumors here in the swamp, and I'm sorry that I 866 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,000 Speaker 1: haven't been able to get to the bottom of it. 867 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:14,279 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm hearing from very well placed sources who, 868 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,479 Speaker 1: as I've told you, they they shift the goal posts. 869 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:18,879 Speaker 1: I say, all, it was going to be this week, 870 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 1: but now it's going to be next week, and now 871 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be next week and now. And I do 872 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 1: think that there's goal posts shifting going on inside the 873 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,399 Speaker 1: Department of Justice too. It's not just me that I'm 874 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,920 Speaker 1: not the only one who is hearing this. But you know, today, 875 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,799 Speaker 1: I think even on the on the Drudge Report, which 876 00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,800 Speaker 1: by the way, the Drudge Report got rid of its app. 877 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 1: Am I the only person that liked the Drudge app 878 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,320 Speaker 1: What's what's going on with that one? But on the 879 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 1: Drudge Report today, Muller gets ready antisappointment, and that's not 880 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,759 Speaker 1: the best Drudge. Sometimes Drudge headlines are amazing, that's not 881 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 1: the best one. But there were a lot of people 882 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 1: that were preparing in media land here today in DC 883 00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 1: for this report to drop. And now that we're obviously 884 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,759 Speaker 1: they passed DC business hours because you know, this town 885 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,880 Speaker 1: really shuts down at five o'clock. Everyone's like, oh, forget 886 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,640 Speaker 1: about national security. Time to go home, you know, No, 887 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,440 Speaker 1: No one really worries too much about things when when 888 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 1: the clock, when the clock hits five, unless they're get 889 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 1: an ot for it, they tend to head right home. 890 00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,880 Speaker 1: But it could be it should be any day. We 891 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,399 Speaker 1: keep getting told that this will happen any day now, 892 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 1: and I certainly want to see what's in it. The 893 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:32,120 Speaker 1: President wants to release what's in it. And then there's 894 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,960 Speaker 1: this other component of it too, which is where do 895 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:38,240 Speaker 1: we go from the report? See, here's what I would 896 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,439 Speaker 1: like to have happen. Once the report's out and it's 897 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: clear that there was no collusion and that this was 898 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,080 Speaker 1: all a sham, I would like to see Trump and 899 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 1: the White House go on offense here. I would like 900 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 1: to see the White House use the power that they 901 00:56:55,719 --> 00:57:00,360 Speaker 1: have to declassify information that they may be that the 902 00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,920 Speaker 1: deep state types of DJ and FBI still want to 903 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 1: keep classified, and to tell the Department of Justice right now, 904 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:13,080 Speaker 1: which is a executive branch agency, you know, to start 905 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,720 Speaker 1: looking into some other thing. They never needed a special counsel. 906 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 1: That was just a political move to create essentially a complete, 907 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 1: a completely insulated and unaccountable to the executive branch chief, 908 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:31,480 Speaker 1: which is the President. Create this little set aside or investigation. 909 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,640 Speaker 1: But they could have just investigated these things the DJ 910 00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: I don't you know, whether under counterintelligence auspices or under 911 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,200 Speaker 1: the you know, the rubric of a criminal investigation. But 912 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,720 Speaker 1: now I don't want this to be okay, let's just 913 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: move on. I wanted to be no, no no, no, no no. 914 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 1: How about how about payback? How about we look at 915 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 1: what really happened with Hillary Clinton, Fusion GPS and all 916 00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 1: the rest of it, and how about we dive into 917 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 1: that without sank To Komi and some of the other 918 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 1: angry Democrat partisan clowns running interference for the left, and 919 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,640 Speaker 1: the institutionalists around them who are either ideologically in bed 920 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: with them are too cowardly, too dishonest about who they 921 00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 1: are what they're doing to stand up and put a 922 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 1: stop to it. Joe Degeneva, who is a former U 923 00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 1: attorney DC, he was talking about this, and I like 924 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 1: where his heads at play nine. It is quite obvious 925 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 1: that there were crimes committed by people associated with the 926 00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:39,800 Speaker 1: Clinton campaign, with the Democratic National Committee, with fusion GPS 927 00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:44,280 Speaker 1: and other people. Those things, for all intensive purposes, for 928 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,400 Speaker 1: all that we know, have been ignored. They were certainly 929 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 1: ignored by Muller, and they have been ignored thus far 930 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 1: by the Department of Justice. Now we know that the 931 00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:58,640 Speaker 1: Ukrainian officials were deeply involved in trying to help Hillary 932 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 1: Clinton through this, and we also now know that the 933 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 1: current United States Ambassador, Marie Yavanovitch has bad mouth the 934 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 1: President of the United States to Ukrainian officials and has 935 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:16,640 Speaker 1: told them not to listen or worry about Trump policy 936 00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:22,040 Speaker 1: because he's going to be impeached. What he's referring to. 937 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 1: There is a story that my colleague at the Hill 938 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:30,200 Speaker 1: of John Solomon broke this week about just what really 939 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: happened in Who are the Ukraine's really trying to or 940 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,880 Speaker 1: who is trying to help Hillary and how in Ukraine. 941 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,440 Speaker 1: Let's give you a little bit from this piece. After 942 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 1: nearly three years, and remember this is up on the 943 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,360 Speaker 1: Hill dot com. Right now, after nearly three years and 944 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 1: millions of tax dollars, the Trump Russia collusion probe is 945 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,280 Speaker 1: about to be resolved. Emerging in its place is nearly 946 00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 1: unearthed evidence suggesting another foreign effort to influence the twenty 947 00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: sixteen election, this time in favor of the Democrats. Ukraine's 948 00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,040 Speaker 1: top prosecutor divulge in an interview aired Wednesday on Hill 949 00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,080 Speaker 1: TV that he has opened an investigation into whether his 950 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 1: country's law enforcement apparatus intentionally leaked financial records during the 951 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:12,240 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen US presidential campaign about then Trump campaign chairman 952 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,760 Speaker 1: Paul Manifort in an effort to sway the election in 953 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:20,600 Speaker 1: favor of Hillary Clinton. The leak of so called black 954 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:24,400 Speaker 1: Ledger files to US media prompted Manafort's resignation from the 955 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,400 Speaker 1: Trump Trump campaign and gave rise to one of the 956 01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 1: key allegations in the Russia collusion probe that has dogged 957 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,880 Speaker 1: Trump for the last two and a half years. Ukraine 958 01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:39,760 Speaker 1: Prosecutor General Uri Lutsenko's probe was prompted by a Ukrainian 959 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 1: parliamentarian's release of a tape recording purporting to quote a 960 01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:48,440 Speaker 1: top law enforcement official as saying his agency leaked the 961 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 1: Manafort financial records to help Clinton's campaign. They're now launching, 962 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:59,080 Speaker 1: by the way, a criminal investigation into this. This man, 963 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 1: in fact, have been in an effort from Ukraine to 964 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 1: try and tip the election in favor of Hillary Clinton. Now, 965 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:15,560 Speaker 1: if we are to be as outraged as we have 966 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 1: been according to the media about any interference in our elections, 967 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't there be a desire to get to the bottom 968 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: of this. Shouldn't this be yet another thread that the 969 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 1: Department of Justice, which does work for the White House, 970 01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,720 Speaker 1: therefore they work for the President of United States. Shouldn't 971 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 1: they look into this? I think it's time that we 972 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 1: start doing some of our own investigations. I think it's 973 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 1: time that Hillary and all of her enablers are called 974 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 1: to account for all the shenanigans, all the lies, all 975 01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:52,560 Speaker 1: the crimes that Coomy and others covered up for them. 976 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,440 Speaker 1: What constitutes a crisis? I mean I could sit here 977 01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,920 Speaker 1: and try to come up with a definition that we 978 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:02,240 Speaker 1: could use here, kind of a working definition of the 979 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 1: word crisis. But usually you understand, a crisis is something 980 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 1: that is is imminent, major impact, must be dealt with, 981 01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 1: has real ramifications, causing real problems, could get much worse, 982 01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 1: likely to get much worse. And you know there's a 983 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,080 Speaker 1: sense of the here and now with it as well. 984 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 1: You know, you're not worried about a crisis ten years 985 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 1: from now. You call it a crisis now, But a 986 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 1: crisis is something we're in the middle of. And I 987 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 1: think it's fascinating to hear in left wing discourse right 988 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:37,320 Speaker 1: now to hear liberals give us their version of what 989 01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 1: is and is not a crisis at the national level. Right. 990 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it could be a crisis for you if you, 991 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 1: you know, lose your wallet and can't give into your 992 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 1: house at two o'clock in the morning, you don't want 993 01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 1: to wake up the wife after a long night of drinking. Right, 994 01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,959 Speaker 1: That might be a personal crisis. But a national level 995 01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:58,600 Speaker 1: crisis is something that we should be able to, roughly speaking, 996 01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,720 Speaker 1: agree on. Shouldn't be something where there's a lot of 997 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 1: separation between Democrats and Republicans. But it turns out that 998 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 1: there is a lot of separation, for example. And I'm 999 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,320 Speaker 1: not just going to keep saying this as a well, 1000 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 1: maybe I will keep saying as a preview of my 1001 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,000 Speaker 1: time at the border next week, but I'll be down 1002 01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 1: there to go investigate the crisis at the border. Here's 1003 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 1: what the Democrats say about that situation. Play one. It 1004 01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:32,600 Speaker 1: is absolute fiction that there's a national emergency here, showing 1005 01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,720 Speaker 1: that this is not about a crisis. It's a political 1006 01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 1: ploy crisis, crisis, and it's a crisis that doesn't exist. 1007 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 1: This national emergency is completely made up. A wall is 1008 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,720 Speaker 1: a colossal waste of money for a crisis that doesn't exist. 1009 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 1: But even if he declares a national emergency, he's lying. 1010 01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,600 Speaker 1: Even if he declares it, it will be a declaration 1011 01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:59,040 Speaker 1: of a falsehood. This whole idea of declaring a national 1012 01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:05,200 Speaker 1: emergency is ludicrous because there isn't one. Do any of 1013 01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:11,920 Speaker 1: those obviously Democrats who went on National TV to declare 1014 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,120 Speaker 1: the border not a national crisis? Do you think that 1015 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:18,160 Speaker 1: they feel a little cheapish about that now? About being 1016 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,360 Speaker 1: so stupid in public in that way. I can tell 1017 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 1: you that the few times that I can recall ever 1018 01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,760 Speaker 1: having said something on TV that either it was factually 1019 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 1: inaccurate too much to my chagrin, or was kind of 1020 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,000 Speaker 1: a prediction or analysis I made that turned out to 1021 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,680 Speaker 1: be way off base, I'm it haunts me, and I 1022 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,160 Speaker 1: will tell you that it's very rare. It is very 1023 01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 1: rare that happens. Because when I, especially when I go 1024 01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 1: on TV to talk about things, I make sure that 1025 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 1: I really know the issue backwards and forwards. And I 1026 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:47,960 Speaker 1: don't want to be one of these people that's just 1027 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:53,720 Speaker 1: carrying water on a major issue like this. For a team, 1028 01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to be rooted in fact, in truth, and reality, 1029 01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,000 Speaker 1: and this idea that there's not a crisis at the border, 1030 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 1: which liberals are still clinging to, is absolutely nuts, absolutely 1031 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 1: out of control, saying a border crisis doesn't exist. We 1032 01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:18,320 Speaker 1: have immigrations and customs enforcements, saying that we simply do 1033 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 1: not have the resources, the beds, the manpower, the detainee 1034 01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,640 Speaker 1: facilities to process all these people are showing up, showing up, 1035 01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,200 Speaker 1: showing up, probably gonna be over one hundred thousand people 1036 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,160 Speaker 1: inadmissible showing up the southern border, just skipping the whole 1037 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,720 Speaker 1: immigration line. I have a friend right now in DC, 1038 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,120 Speaker 1: although I think actually he might have left the United 1039 01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,840 Speaker 1: States to go deal with this issue, who has spent 1040 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:46,280 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of dollars on immigration attorneys to deal 1041 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:51,680 Speaker 1: with different visa issues. And he's a he's a well 1042 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:57,280 Speaker 1: known conservative, and it's somebody who you would think America 1043 01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,480 Speaker 1: would just be rolling out the red carpet for. He's 1044 01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 1: very pretty doctor. And no, he's got to go overseas 1045 01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:05,240 Speaker 1: and deal with some some visa issue now, and that's 1046 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,560 Speaker 1: after spending tens of thousands of dollars. I made a 1047 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,000 Speaker 1: joke to a friend of mine this week, and so, well, 1048 01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 1: you know, he could just show up at the southern border. 1049 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 1: You know, maybe you don't have to. He'd have to 1050 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 1: adopt somebody first. That would be even better. But you know, 1051 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,040 Speaker 1: you could adopt a kids, show up at the southern borders, 1052 01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,440 Speaker 1: say I'm really scared, I claim credible beer, and he 1053 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 1: could release in the United States and have a court 1054 01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 1: date in about five years, and that one are the 1055 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 1: chances at that point the judge is going to say, 1056 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:28,479 Speaker 1: you know what, you've been living here for five years, 1057 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:33,440 Speaker 1: let's send you back to wherever. I mean, it was 1058 01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,919 Speaker 1: a tongue in cheek suggestion, but it's it actually would work. 1059 01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 1: So the border crisis, though they say, does not exist. 1060 01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:45,000 Speaker 1: This is hysteria. This is just politics from you know, 1061 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,840 Speaker 1: from Trump and his people and all this other stuff. Meanwhile, 1062 01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,000 Speaker 1: what does get the left really upset. What scares the 1063 01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:55,479 Speaker 1: that you know what out of them, the heck out 1064 01:06:55,480 --> 01:07:02,520 Speaker 1: of them? Climates change play too. The biggest threat to 1065 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,840 Speaker 1: our prosperity in this twenty first century is climate change, 1066 01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,280 Speaker 1: a crisis that could at its worst lead to extinction. 1067 01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,640 Speaker 1: That climate change is real is an existential threat to 1068 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:18,400 Speaker 1: our country and the entire planet. We are running out 1069 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:23,720 Speaker 1: a runway to be able to fix this problem. We 1070 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,520 Speaker 1: need all hands on deck. When the planet has been 1071 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:31,360 Speaker 1: in peril in the past, who came forward to save 1072 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 1: Earth from the scourge of Nazi untiltalitarian regimes. We came forward. 1073 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:41,560 Speaker 1: So if you don't take lobal climate change seriously, you 1074 01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 1: don't care about the world in the country, You don't 1075 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:47,960 Speaker 1: care about people. What an idiot? If you don't take 1076 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,760 Speaker 1: global climate change seriously, like you just you don't care 1077 01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:56,000 Speaker 1: about the world. It's a real it's an existential threat. 1078 01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:57,760 Speaker 1: We're all gonna be wiped off the face of the Earth. 1079 01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,960 Speaker 1: It's gonna just disappear. It won't even be here anymore. 1080 01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,840 Speaker 1: Then you get you get bet to and they're y'all, 1081 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:06,800 Speaker 1: it's like, it's an existential threat. It's like if we 1082 01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 1: don't deal this right away, it's we're just all gonna die. 1083 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,440 Speaker 1: These people think that they have science on their side. 1084 01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,559 Speaker 1: The Earth has been around for billions of years. It's 1085 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 1: been through all kinds of actual cataclysms, and you know, 1086 01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:26,160 Speaker 1: asteroid strikes and ice ages, and you know, we can't 1087 01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 1: even begin to fathom the timelessness, the majesty, the you know, 1088 01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 1: the universe that we live in. We were just barely 1089 01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,800 Speaker 1: scratching the surface of understanding, you know, how it came 1090 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,320 Speaker 1: to be and where it is. And you know, and 1091 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 1: they really think they've got this nailed. Oh no, the 1092 01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:47,080 Speaker 1: world's gonna end the next fifth. Look, we know that 1093 01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:52,720 Speaker 1: they're they just like this emotion. People. I've told you 1094 01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 1: this before, and I'm letting you in on a big 1095 01:08:55,720 --> 01:09:00,280 Speaker 1: secret of the media. Catastrophe is always a good story. 1096 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:08,440 Speaker 1: Catastrophe gets attention. Catastrophe fists are people who leverage that dishonestly. 1097 01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:10,360 Speaker 1: Now you might say bucks sometimes you talk about the 1098 01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:14,240 Speaker 1: dead and how the economy. Yeah, catastrophe can also happen, right, 1099 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,760 Speaker 1: you know World War Two was a catastrophe for example, right, 1100 01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 1: I mean sixty million dead, you know, six million Jews, 1101 01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,880 Speaker 1: eleven million dead total in the death camps. You know, 1102 01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:29,439 Speaker 1: you you know, catastrophe is real. But some people like 1103 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:34,559 Speaker 1: to play upon our basic human fear when it comes 1104 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 1: to a catastrophe, a possible catastrophe, and use that and 1105 01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:39,920 Speaker 1: exploit that. And that's what you see with all this 1106 01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,960 Speaker 1: climate chain stuff. You know, people like to they like 1107 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,080 Speaker 1: to hear the scary story and they like to believe 1108 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,000 Speaker 1: that they're a part of a solution. Oh, this terrible 1109 01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,640 Speaker 1: thing is going to happen. It's so terrible. Oh but 1110 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 1: if you only, if you only do this, or if 1111 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:57,280 Speaker 1: you only believe this, everything will be fine, everything will 1112 01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 1: be better. This is why climate change is a religious 1113 01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,880 Speaker 1: belief for people who think that they are too sophisticated 1114 01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,719 Speaker 1: for religion, when in reality they're actually just too self 1115 01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:12,880 Speaker 1: involved to have a real religion for the most part, 1116 01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,439 Speaker 1: because this replaces I don't I don't even care if 1117 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,200 Speaker 1: you really think the world is ending in fifty years 1118 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,719 Speaker 1: unless we stop CO two. I think it's very hard 1119 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 1: to make the case that you know you're you're a 1120 01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,120 Speaker 1: you're a monotheist and in good standing with the teachings 1121 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:30,720 Speaker 1: of your of your church, or whatever religious affiliation may have. 1122 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,439 Speaker 1: But now I'm going a little bit off, a little bit, 1123 01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 1: a little bit off the tracks. But what is hysteria 1124 01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:40,719 Speaker 1: and what is reality? The border is a crisis, climate 1125 01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:45,360 Speaker 1: change is not. Democrats have this completely inverted, and it's 1126 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:48,280 Speaker 1: not going to change. And this is one of the 1127 01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:50,680 Speaker 1: reasons why it's so hard to have a constructive conversation 1128 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 1: about what the world should look like going forward. You 1129 01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:58,519 Speaker 1: spend a good portion of your time in Ohio. The 1130 01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,519 Speaker 1: other day, Treasure John McCain, Senator John McCain is dead. 1131 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 1: Why are you doing this? So it's not a good 1132 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,519 Speaker 1: portion of my time, It's a very small portion. But 1133 01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,280 Speaker 1: if you realize, about three days ago, it came out 1134 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:13,639 Speaker 1: that his main person gave to the FBI the fake 1135 01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,799 Speaker 1: news Darcia. It was a fake, it was a fraud. 1136 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 1: It was paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. 1137 01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 1: They gave it to John McCain, who gave it to 1138 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:25,200 Speaker 1: the FBI for very evil purposes. That's not good. And 1139 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,160 Speaker 1: the other thing, he voted against repeal and replace. Now 1140 01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:32,240 Speaker 1: he's been campaigning for years for repeal and replace. I'm 1141 01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:36,280 Speaker 1: not a fan. After all of this time he's think 1142 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 1: of this repeal and replace. We would have had great healthcare. 1143 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,479 Speaker 1: He's dead. He can't punch back. I know you punch back, 1144 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,320 Speaker 1: But instead I don't talk about it. People ask me 1145 01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,479 Speaker 1: the question. I didn't bring this up. You just brought 1146 01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:50,240 Speaker 1: it up. You asked the question, You talked about it 1147 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,200 Speaker 1: this week. You asked me the question. When I went 1148 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,879 Speaker 1: out yesterday to the scrum, they asked me the question. 1149 01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,479 Speaker 1: When they asked me the question, I answered the question. 1150 01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:00,519 Speaker 1: But you people bring it up. I don't bring it up. 1151 01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. He was horrible what he did 1152 01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,439 Speaker 1: with Repeal and Replace. It was what he did to 1153 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,599 Speaker 1: the Republican Party and to the nation and to sick 1154 01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:11,200 Speaker 1: people that could have had great healthcare was not good. 1155 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,120 Speaker 1: So I'm not a fan of John McCain, and that's fine. 1156 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,720 Speaker 1: I don't understand why this is such a problem for 1157 01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:20,559 Speaker 1: so many of my fellow conservatives. Now let me let 1158 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:24,400 Speaker 1: me preface this. I don't agree with the president when 1159 01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:26,720 Speaker 1: he talks about the you know, I don't I don't like, 1160 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:30,600 Speaker 1: I don't agree with you know, the comments about I 1161 01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:32,800 Speaker 1: prefer people who weren't captured or whatever. No, no no, no, 1162 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 1: I mean no one should say that, and especially somebody 1163 01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,519 Speaker 1: who never served should not say that. Okay, I disagree 1164 01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:42,720 Speaker 1: the president on that. That said, okay, that is just 1165 01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:49,639 Speaker 1: one component of this ongoing feuge that's really about the 1166 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:54,240 Speaker 1: legacy of John McCain and President Trump, because the legacy 1167 01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:57,400 Speaker 1: of John McCain is still brought up as a means 1168 01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:02,520 Speaker 1: of attacking this president, John McCain's decision. When we are assessing, 1169 01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:07,439 Speaker 1: for example, how effective this president has been, and I 1170 01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 1: mean I have to tell you we did not get 1171 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,040 Speaker 1: repeal un replaced President Trump. So why didn't that happen? 1172 01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,120 Speaker 1: Is it Trump's fault? No, it's fair to say that 1173 01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:19,200 Speaker 1: John McCain, you know, turned on his own team. John 1174 01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,679 Speaker 1: McCain wanted that moment where he was the maverick. And 1175 01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:28,880 Speaker 1: you have to remember the most sanctimonious, annoying mainstream lib a, 1176 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:34,839 Speaker 1: mainstream media libs on the planet love using John McCain 1177 01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,200 Speaker 1: as a club to bash other Republicans with. You know, 1178 01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:41,160 Speaker 1: John McCain wouldn't do that. That's not in that's not 1179 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,679 Speaker 1: in keeping with the honor and the dignity and the 1180 01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,400 Speaker 1: incredible service of John McCain. Okay, we get it. The 1181 01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:49,880 Speaker 1: guy's service country honorably. That's fantastic. Are we going to 1182 01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,519 Speaker 1: play this game now with with Dan Crenshaw where you know, 1183 01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:54,800 Speaker 1: the left can't criticize Crenshaw. He's a Navy seal, as 1184 01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:59,320 Speaker 1: a combat veteran guy, guy's a Purple Heart recipient. I mean, 1185 01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:01,920 Speaker 1: that's honor bowl and it's awesome. But does that mean 1186 01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:03,760 Speaker 1: they're not allowed to criticize him or are they being 1187 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:07,240 Speaker 1: unpatriotic for criticizing Dan Crenshaw? I mean, I know Crenshaw 1188 01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:10,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't make that argument. I wouldn't make that argument, but 1189 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:15,120 Speaker 1: they tried it. The left tries to create this invincibility 1190 01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,680 Speaker 1: for all things McCain related. And I also think that 1191 01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 1: McCain has come to symbolize and look, we fight over 1192 01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:26,000 Speaker 1: the legacy of politicians who have passed away all the time. Okay, 1193 01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:29,000 Speaker 1: so this all this whining from the Libs about how 1194 01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,439 Speaker 1: oh he's passing you know, and look, I understand he 1195 01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:33,040 Speaker 1: didn't pass away that long ago. If you want to 1196 01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:34,920 Speaker 1: make that argument, that's fine. It's only been a matter 1197 01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 1: of months, not years. But you know, they were trashing 1198 01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:42,960 Speaker 1: Reagan after he passed away. Yeah, they there were Libs 1199 01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:47,280 Speaker 1: who The only reason they didn't trash hw Bush that much, 1200 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,000 Speaker 1: although some were saying he was a warmonger and a 1201 01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,160 Speaker 1: bad man and all this other stuff. But the main 1202 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:59,000 Speaker 1: reason is because the left likes these the genteel country 1203 01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:04,439 Speaker 1: club REPLI blocking GOP style. That's what the left wants 1204 01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:08,559 Speaker 1: us to go back to, that, the very transactional chamber 1205 01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:12,519 Speaker 1: of commerce GOP that you know, Yeah, we've got some 1206 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:14,839 Speaker 1: very smart people that work at some fancy think tanks 1207 01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:16,840 Speaker 1: and do a little razzle dazzle with the numbers and 1208 01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:18,760 Speaker 1: the debt and everything got But we don't actually win, 1209 01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:21,720 Speaker 1: We don't actually comment. People will say, oh, we were 1210 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:23,800 Speaker 1: going to look at George W. George W. Bush won 1211 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,840 Speaker 1: the election by the skin of his teeth and then 1212 01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 1: took us to one war that was necessary, one war 1213 01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:34,320 Speaker 1: that definitely was not and exploded. The debt was terrible 1214 01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:38,800 Speaker 1: on the border, expanded entitlements, couldn't fix social secure you know, 1215 01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:42,400 Speaker 1: So what are we really talking about here? What do 1216 01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:45,720 Speaker 1: we win the eight years of Bush? Well, what were 1217 01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 1: the big wins that have lasted to now? You say, oh, buck? 1218 01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,960 Speaker 1: The war on Terror? Okay, some parts of it from 1219 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:57,480 Speaker 1: the executive and commander chief perspective, were reasonably well executed. 1220 01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,559 Speaker 1: I mean, it really depends. I think you look back 1221 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:02,479 Speaker 1: at it, and there were a lot of mistakes. You know, 1222 01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 1: there were a lot of and not little mistakes, strategic errors, 1223 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 1: misconceptions in judgment at the highest level of the decision 1224 01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,439 Speaker 1: making chain post nine to eleven. And I think a 1225 01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,080 Speaker 1: sense of patriotism and just coming together at the time 1226 01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 1: gave a lot of cover for some very poor decisions. 1227 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:25,280 Speaker 1: But the real center of this issue for me is 1228 01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:30,479 Speaker 1: just that John McCain's legacy when it comes to policy 1229 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:32,559 Speaker 1: and what he did as a senator is not something 1230 01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:35,599 Speaker 1: that is off limits. And they can keep trying to 1231 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:37,760 Speaker 1: make President Trump. People can keep And by the way, 1232 01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm not quibbling with Barbaromo asking the questions. That's the 1233 01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:44,879 Speaker 1: right thing to do. And you know, I don't personally 1234 01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,599 Speaker 1: know Maria, but I very much respect her work. I've 1235 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,439 Speaker 1: worked with her over at Fox a number of times. 1236 01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that she can't ask the question. But 1237 01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 1: there are people who are suggesting from within the GOP ranks, 1238 01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:01,240 Speaker 1: how dare you criticize John McCain, you know, because who's 1239 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:03,960 Speaker 1: passed away? And I'd say, well, what are we criticizing 1240 01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 1: If we're criticizing his desire as a US senator to 1241 01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,519 Speaker 1: reach to the other side and try to make himself, 1242 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,519 Speaker 1: in many ways bigger than the party. I think that's 1243 01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:19,040 Speaker 1: a problem. I think there was a megalomaniacal street there. 1244 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:22,160 Speaker 1: I just do and I'm sorry, but he's a public figure, 1245 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 1: it's public life. I do not disrespect him personally, or 1246 01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,639 Speaker 1: I never disrespect his service. That's not the same thing. 1247 01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:34,320 Speaker 1: That is not the same thing. And I think people 1248 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:40,040 Speaker 1: are dishonestly trying to conflate those two so that there's 1249 01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:44,040 Speaker 1: this this aura of invincibility. But around all things McCain 1250 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,559 Speaker 1: and you know why the lives. The lives lives like 1251 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,840 Speaker 1: this because it gives them away to just just trash, 1252 01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:56,000 Speaker 1: just absolutely trash Trump and feel like they're creating they're 1253 01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,080 Speaker 1: creating a friendly fire situation, you know, which nothing excites 1254 01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:03,080 Speaker 1: the lives. I think more that so I try to 1255 01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,000 Speaker 1: be very honest about what I like about the President, 1256 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:09,439 Speaker 1: what he's doing, and what I disagree with. And on 1257 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:13,160 Speaker 1: this issue, I think that people are really you know, 1258 01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 1: they need to be careful about how they set this up. 1259 01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:21,720 Speaker 1: By the way, today was also an interesting day from 1260 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:25,439 Speaker 1: the President's point of view because of China tariffs. I 1261 01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:29,479 Speaker 1: just want to touch on this one because you know, 1262 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,880 Speaker 1: the markets had a good day to day. People are there. 1263 01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,840 Speaker 1: There's a little bit of a of a of a 1264 01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:37,679 Speaker 1: wind that our backs here on maybe getting a China deal. 1265 01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,280 Speaker 1: Here's the President said about this play clip seven. We 1266 01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 1: have to make sure if we do the deal with 1267 01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:46,599 Speaker 1: China that China lives by the deal, because they've had 1268 01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,720 Speaker 1: a lot of problems living by certain deals, and we 1269 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: have to make sure. Now, no president has ever done 1270 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 1: what I've done with China. China had free reign over 1271 01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:59,479 Speaker 1: our country. We actually rebuilt China in the truest sense 1272 01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 1: of the word before. Take it in billions and billions 1273 01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,800 Speaker 1: of dollars right now in tariff money, and for a 1274 01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:10,920 Speaker 1: period of time that will stay. President is seeing this 1275 01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:16,240 Speaker 1: thing through. He's not buckling on it, and we'll see 1276 01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,840 Speaker 1: if he's able to do this. This would be an 1277 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:25,040 Speaker 1: incredible an incredible turnaround that because he was told that 1278 01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:26,840 Speaker 1: this was a fool's errand from the start that there 1279 01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 1: was no way that he'd be in a position to 1280 01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,240 Speaker 1: get any kind of a concession from China on this 1281 01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:33,639 Speaker 1: that that he was going to start. Remember, we heard 1282 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 1: so much about a trade war and I was going 1283 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,160 Speaker 1: to destroy the economy and trade wars lead to real 1284 01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:40,439 Speaker 1: wars and all this stuff. No, he's brought the Chinese 1285 01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,000 Speaker 1: to the negotiating table in a way that they haven't 1286 01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:47,440 Speaker 1: been brought to it before. We've we've we've been propagandized 1287 01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:48,960 Speaker 1: to one and then the Chinese love it. I mean, 1288 01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:50,920 Speaker 1: the more I learn about China, and I'm going to 1289 01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:55,800 Speaker 1: China so I will have some insights from spending time 1290 01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:59,960 Speaker 1: over there and meeting with business leaders, and that's happened 1291 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,800 Speaker 1: in May. Buck is planning a lot of moving around 1292 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,559 Speaker 1: for the next few months. And Buck will not refer 1293 01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,559 Speaker 1: to himself in the third person. Again, sorry about that. 1294 01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:13,960 Speaker 1: But the President was the one who understood that Chinese 1295 01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,240 Speaker 1: behavior wasn't going to change because they were getting everything 1296 01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 1: that they want and we weren't doing anything about it. 1297 01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,960 Speaker 1: And that was the status quo that was considered normal. 1298 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,439 Speaker 1: That was people all free trade. We don't free trade 1299 01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:27,719 Speaker 1: with China. China is ripping us off with the tariffs 1300 01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,160 Speaker 1: that they put in place, so we can sit around 1301 01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:34,800 Speaker 1: and suffer in silence or do something about it. And 1302 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,760 Speaker 1: you know, another part of this is we have to 1303 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:40,080 Speaker 1: remember that when you choose to do something instead of 1304 01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:44,280 Speaker 1: just suffer, there are risks. There can be some downsides 1305 01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:49,120 Speaker 1: to that. And as somebody who is lightly invested in 1306 01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,040 Speaker 1: the Chinese stock market a little bit I can tell 1307 01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:55,280 Speaker 1: you which I do not give investment advice, And let 1308 01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:56,599 Speaker 1: me tell you it has not been a good time 1309 01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,200 Speaker 1: to last year or so. It has not been a 1310 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:04,160 Speaker 1: great time to be dabbling in Chinese stocks. But you know, 1311 01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,200 Speaker 1: this is something that the President was willing to do 1312 01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:09,840 Speaker 1: that nobody else was willing to do. And if he 1313 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:12,760 Speaker 1: sees this thing, if he manages to get a victory here, 1314 01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:16,000 Speaker 1: it'll be stunning. Obama never pulled the thing that like 1315 01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:19,800 Speaker 1: this off people talk about the Iran deeal. Obama just 1316 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:25,479 Speaker 1: completely abandoned pillars of US foreign policy in the Middle 1317 01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:30,800 Speaker 1: East to create some appeasement scenario for the Iranians where 1318 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,519 Speaker 1: the Iranians essentially we made them an offer they couldn't refuse, 1319 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:35,760 Speaker 1: because why would they refuse it. They get a lot 1320 01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:40,599 Speaker 1: of money, They get a get out of jail free 1321 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,120 Speaker 1: card for all the stuff they've done up to that point, 1322 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,720 Speaker 1: all the violence against our troops in Iraq, and you know, 1323 01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,680 Speaker 1: on a worst case basis, they wait awhile and then 1324 01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,599 Speaker 1: their nuclear program is pretty much turnkey, ready to go 1325 01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,920 Speaker 1: in ten years when they are much wealthier and more 1326 01:21:55,240 --> 01:22:01,360 Speaker 1: integrated in the global economy. So i IMA's deal making 1327 01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,759 Speaker 1: skills or the people that were negotiating on his behalf 1328 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,000 Speaker 1: as industry, it was terrible, But they all want to lecture. 1329 01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,080 Speaker 1: They all want to lecture the administration. This by the way, 1330 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,000 Speaker 1: Trump also spoke about the budget today, just to get 1331 01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:15,840 Speaker 1: that in here. Play this year we're asking for an 1332 01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:20,519 Speaker 1: additional seven hundred and fifty billion dollars, which is a 1333 01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:25,479 Speaker 1: record that includes funding to upgrade more than one hundred 1334 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:30,639 Speaker 1: and sixty mighty m one Abrahams tanks. So how does 1335 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,320 Speaker 1: this compare with the tanks made in China and Russia 1336 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:37,639 Speaker 1: and other places. What do you think can we take them? 1337 01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:42,680 Speaker 1: They say it's much better. America does not need conflict. 1338 01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:46,360 Speaker 1: But if conflict comes, and you know, the story got 1339 01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:49,720 Speaker 1: to be strong. If conflict comes, we will dominate the 1340 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:53,760 Speaker 1: battlefield and we will win, win, win. We're now set 1341 01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:58,000 Speaker 1: up to win, win win. When I came in, we 1342 01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:01,120 Speaker 1: had some big problems. You look at what we've done 1343 01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:04,320 Speaker 1: on so many fronts, and we actually have better relationships. 1344 01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:07,120 Speaker 1: They respect our country more than they've ever respected it. 1345 01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:12,040 Speaker 1: Our country is respected again. The United States is respected again. 1346 01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:14,200 Speaker 1: I just want to just want to play it for 1347 01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:16,559 Speaker 1: you because you should know that while the media is 1348 01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:20,759 Speaker 1: fiddling over Trump's tweets all the time, there's actual governance 1349 01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,080 Speaker 1: that is getting that is getting done. It does happen, 1350 01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:29,160 Speaker 1: and Trump is pushing it through. One of the most 1351 01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 1: important advantages that the left has in our culture is 1352 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:40,040 Speaker 1: the decision that is just collectively made behind the scenes 1353 01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:45,880 Speaker 1: in various professions, usually professions that involve some public life, 1354 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,759 Speaker 1: but it's also true for people that are just members 1355 01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:53,439 Speaker 1: of private companies and aren't necessarily public figures. But one 1356 01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:56,160 Speaker 1: of the biggest advantages that the left has is deciding 1357 01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:00,280 Speaker 1: who gets to come back, who gets to be a 1358 01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:05,000 Speaker 1: comeback story, and who is ostracized forever, who lives to 1359 01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:09,759 Speaker 1: fight another day professionally speaking, and who is forever voted 1360 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:13,680 Speaker 1: off the island scapegoated off into the wilderness and not 1361 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:22,000 Speaker 1: allowed to return. Here's a classic example of that. NYU 1362 01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:28,320 Speaker 1: Journalism School has hired an ex New Yorker fact checker 1363 01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 1: named Talia Lavin who falsely claimed that an Immigrations and 1364 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:40,439 Speaker 1: Customs enforcement agency had a Nazi tattoo in an article. 1365 01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:44,560 Speaker 1: It turned out that it was not a Nazi tattoo, 1366 01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:50,160 Speaker 1: and yet they didn't decide that this was some terrible 1367 01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:55,400 Speaker 1: sin that she had said this about this guy. They've 1368 01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:58,759 Speaker 1: brought her back. I mean, her career did hit a bump. 1369 01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:04,160 Speaker 1: Last June. She used Justin Gertner, who is a wheelchair 1370 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:08,080 Speaker 1: bound ice agent, of having a Nazi iron cross tattoo. 1371 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,760 Speaker 1: She made this charge in a tweet and then she 1372 01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 1: later deleted it. It wasn't It was in fact a 1373 01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:23,519 Speaker 1: Maltese cross, which is common to US veterans of foreign wars. 1374 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:29,160 Speaker 1: So she got a rebuke from ICE itself and the 1375 01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:31,880 Speaker 1: New Yorker quote the personal social media accounts of staff 1376 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,320 Speaker 1: members do not represent the magazine, and we had no 1377 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:37,000 Speaker 1: way share the viewpoint expressed in the tweet. Tweet has 1378 01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:39,000 Speaker 1: been deleted, and we deeply regret any harm that may 1379 01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 1: have caused. Now I'm somebody who I get caught in 1380 01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:49,400 Speaker 1: between two feelings here, in between two path paths forward, 1381 01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,320 Speaker 1: because on the one hand, I don't like people being 1382 01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:56,280 Speaker 1: fired for a mistake in judgment when it comes to journalism, 1383 01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:58,519 Speaker 1: because we're all we're putting ourselves out there so much 1384 01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,639 Speaker 1: all the time. I don't like it. On the other hand, 1385 01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:06,320 Speaker 1: I think it's very interesting that when somebody does suffer 1386 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:11,840 Speaker 1: consequences and they're a leftist, they always get another job 1387 01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:16,680 Speaker 1: in journalism and they aren't blocked from future employment of 1388 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:21,040 Speaker 1: any kind. And on the right, you can be done, 1389 01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 1: I mean they can milo you. You could be completely 1390 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:28,000 Speaker 1: gone for good now. Regardless of whatever you think of 1391 01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:31,600 Speaker 1: Milo Anopolis, I mean that guy, and he could be 1392 01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 1: on a desert island in the middle of the Pacific 1393 01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:36,479 Speaker 1: for all I know, and you know that he might 1394 01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:41,280 Speaker 1: wish he was in some ways. So they maintain, they 1395 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,360 Speaker 1: always maintain on the left, the ability to bring people back, 1396 01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:48,519 Speaker 1: to rehabilitate their image, or just to push them forward 1397 01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:55,240 Speaker 1: without any consequences whatsoever. You notice how the Karl Malone 1398 01:26:56,800 --> 01:27:00,559 Speaker 1: blackface impersonation that Jimmy Kimmel did. Jimmy Kimmel, No, there's 1399 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:06,000 Speaker 1: no there's no consequences to that you talk. I mean, 1400 01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:09,800 Speaker 1: there are other people in prominent positions in media who 1401 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,040 Speaker 1: have done things that are No. I'm not talking about 1402 01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:15,679 Speaker 1: offenses of the me too variety. That's a different, maybe 1403 01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:19,600 Speaker 1: a related part of this conversation, but a different component 1404 01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:21,360 Speaker 1: of it. I'm talking about the people that did things 1405 01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,559 Speaker 1: that are offensive, right, that are too offensive. Oh, you 1406 01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:26,280 Speaker 1: need to be in trouble because what you said is offense. 1407 01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:30,920 Speaker 1: It's racist, it's sexist, it's islamophobic, one of those things 1408 01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,720 Speaker 1: when someone on the left or just grotesque. I mean, 1409 01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:39,240 Speaker 1: I think it was a Julia Yaffee. I don't know 1410 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:41,599 Speaker 1: if I'm pronouncing her name correctly, but who has written 1411 01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,840 Speaker 1: for a bunch of different publications and is way all 1412 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:50,559 Speaker 1: the MSNBC circuit referred to the president's daughter publicly with 1413 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:52,559 Speaker 1: one of the most horrific words you could use for 1414 01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:56,599 Speaker 1: a woman. She's still considered, you know, in an elite 1415 01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:00,439 Speaker 1: journo circle, she's still considered somebody that's just fine. You know, 1416 01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:02,960 Speaker 1: there's there's no problem whatsoever. And which is also why 1417 01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,840 Speaker 1: I felt that the stand that Tucker Carlson took, not 1418 01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,120 Speaker 1: that I agree with anything that he said I and 1419 01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 1: not that I think that what he said was within 1420 01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:12,840 Speaker 1: the bounds of good taste in those situations, but it 1421 01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,479 Speaker 1: wasn't about what he said. It was about trying to 1422 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,479 Speaker 1: take somebody out on the right, and that's what they 1423 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:22,800 Speaker 1: keep doing, and we have to fight back. But this 1424 01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:26,599 Speaker 1: is a related extension of that. You know, if you're 1425 01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:29,439 Speaker 1: a journalist and you really mess up, but you're a leftist, 1426 01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:33,679 Speaker 1: you know you're in good standing with the left, you will, 1427 01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,000 Speaker 1: sure enough, you know, as as sure as as night 1428 01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:42,200 Speaker 1: follows day, you will find yourself getting a job at 1429 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,320 Speaker 1: NYU Journalism School. You know, you will find yourself in 1430 01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:48,960 Speaker 1: a position where you're taking care of and they'll they'll 1431 01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,720 Speaker 1: put you, they'll put you back in the game. They 1432 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:55,840 Speaker 1: just will you always get a second chance if you're 1433 01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:59,920 Speaker 1: a leftist, and that's powerful for their side. In nash 1434 01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 1: debates and discourse, sometimes you read a news story and 1435 01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:09,519 Speaker 1: you take a step back from it and you say 1436 01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:13,800 Speaker 1: to yourself, it's not even about it's it's really not 1437 01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:21,280 Speaker 1: about the politics here. It's just depressing regardless regardless of 1438 01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 1: your politics, it is a depressing circumstance. And I gotta 1439 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,320 Speaker 1: tell you that's that's what I took away from this 1440 01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:33,679 Speaker 1: New York Post story that says that millennials, my fellow 1441 01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,640 Speaker 1: Post nineteen eighty people are always telling me book, you're 1442 01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:39,559 Speaker 1: not a millennial. Yes, I am, just barely. I just 1443 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,479 Speaker 1: graze under the millennial wire. And now that I have 1444 01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:47,519 Speaker 1: a beard, that I will tell you is, uh, you know, 1445 01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:50,360 Speaker 1: something of a of a real beard now is getting 1446 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:53,840 Speaker 1: closer and closer to full beardom and with a little 1447 01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:55,719 Speaker 1: and when I talk about it to be like books, 1448 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:57,880 Speaker 1: stop being goal self in those look. I'm excited that 1449 01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:00,280 Speaker 1: I could actually grow facial hair. Give a kid a break. 1450 01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:03,439 Speaker 1: It's been a while. Actually I've never tried it really before. 1451 01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:07,320 Speaker 1: So I was told when I deployed as an analyst 1452 01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:09,639 Speaker 1: into both war zones by some of the more seasoned 1453 01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:12,880 Speaker 1: agency guys. They're like, don't just show up and grow 1454 01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:14,759 Speaker 1: a beard for no reason. Man, Like you're not fitting 1455 01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:16,519 Speaker 1: in with the locals and you're not a door kicker. 1456 01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:19,120 Speaker 1: And you know what, that was really good advice. I've 1457 01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:23,120 Speaker 1: always I always appreciated that advice. You're not trying to blend, 1458 01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:24,960 Speaker 1: and you're not a door kicker. You don't need a beard. 1459 01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:27,240 Speaker 1: Don't be that guy. Now, maybe for other people they 1460 01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:28,840 Speaker 1: like growing it. That's fine. I'm just saying I was 1461 01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:31,519 Speaker 1: told that, and I thought that was probably probably a 1462 01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:35,280 Speaker 1: good move for me. Anyway, I'm a great beard millennial 1463 01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:37,600 Speaker 1: and that's why it makes me sad when I read that. 1464 01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:40,439 Speaker 1: According to the New York Post and this latest survey here, 1465 01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:48,880 Speaker 1: millennials care more about their dates politics than sexual attraction. 1466 01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:53,840 Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, I don't understand this at all. 1467 01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:57,200 Speaker 1: I think this is I think this is bizarre. Between 1468 01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:59,880 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen, according this article, the number 1469 01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:05,040 Speaker 1: of women who consider politics more important than sex sexual 1470 01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:10,000 Speaker 1: attraction shot up from twenty seven percent to forty two percent, 1471 01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:15,559 Speaker 1: while for men, hold on a second, that needle move 1472 01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:23,720 Speaker 1: from twenty three percent to thirty percent. Huh, look at that. 1473 01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:28,680 Speaker 1: Almost half of women consider your politics. Millennial women. I 1474 01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:30,760 Speaker 1: know the married women are listening to this. Who are not? 1475 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:34,480 Speaker 1: Who are you know? In the elder than millennial generations 1476 01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:38,720 Speaker 1: are like those silly millennials. They'll learn. But this is 1477 01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:43,720 Speaker 1: really indicative of the times we live in. This is 1478 01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:48,800 Speaker 1: the situation where people don't they don't just make determinations 1479 01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:54,360 Speaker 1: about social situations based upon political affiliation. They're really proud 1480 01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:57,799 Speaker 1: about being mean about it. And that comes across in 1481 01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:02,320 Speaker 1: this article quote. If you're only exposing yourself to people 1482 01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:05,280 Speaker 1: think like you, you're living in a silo and missing opportunities, 1483 01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:10,720 Speaker 1: says this therapist named Megan Fleming. She believes that less 1484 01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:13,960 Speaker 1: intellectual tension could translate to less of a lustful spark 1485 01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:17,439 Speaker 1: in a relationship. She encourages her patients to go out 1486 01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:20,639 Speaker 1: of their comfort zone in love and in bed. That 1487 01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:23,080 Speaker 1: was the case for Julia, twenty seven year old Brooklyn 1488 01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:27,040 Speaker 1: liberal and senior public relations manager who dated a Republican 1489 01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:32,120 Speaker 1: for three years. For the political opposites, everything was very extreme, 1490 01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:37,120 Speaker 1: including the attraction. So some people think that the opposites 1491 01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:40,800 Speaker 1: attract in politics, but at least this therapist does. A 1492 01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:44,200 Speaker 1: lot of other people, though, are tending toward they will 1493 01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:47,880 Speaker 1: not date, you know, swipe left, so to speak, if 1494 01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:50,839 Speaker 1: you are a conservative, especially if you're a Trump supporter. 1495 01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:52,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this really comes down to a Trump a 1496 01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:56,120 Speaker 1: Trump situation. I just think it's sad man. I think 1497 01:32:56,120 --> 01:33:01,679 Speaker 1: that this is such an indication of how overpoliticized everything 1498 01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:06,920 Speaker 1: is now. Sports are politicized, obviously, media is highly politicized. 1499 01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:10,479 Speaker 1: I mean entertainment media. I couldn't even get through The 1500 01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:14,360 Speaker 1: Punisher on Netflix because it just turned into like this 1501 01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 1: kind of anti Trump, Russia collusion, anti Christian. You know, 1502 01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:20,600 Speaker 1: I didn't even watch it all. I just saw something like, 1503 01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:22,840 Speaker 1: I know where this is going. You can't I just 1504 01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:25,719 Speaker 1: watch The Punisher waste really really bad guys with cool 1505 01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:28,439 Speaker 1: guns that No, I can't the answers, no I can't. 1506 01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,320 Speaker 1: You know, they will not allow even that. And and 1507 01:33:31,439 --> 01:33:34,639 Speaker 1: now in the in the wonderful world of millennial dating, 1508 01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 1: it turns out that not only do they fight over 1509 01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:41,559 Speaker 1: who gets the last piece of avocado toast, although I'm 1510 01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:46,880 Speaker 1: told now that smashed p toast is in fact the 1511 01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:50,200 Speaker 1: new avocado toast. Did you know that, John? I learned. 1512 01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:54,120 Speaker 1: I learned fancy things. I learned fancy things from the 1513 01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:57,680 Speaker 1: fancy people inside the swamp um. I Also, when I 1514 01:33:57,720 --> 01:33:59,240 Speaker 1: go back up to New York, I have to refill 1515 01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:02,519 Speaker 1: the hipster hipster meter by talking to the hipsters that 1516 01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:04,120 Speaker 1: I know, and they tell me what's really They tell 1517 01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:07,280 Speaker 1: me what's going on now that I have a beard, 1518 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:10,000 Speaker 1: of course beards, I'm sure probably it's probably mustache time. 1519 01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,080 Speaker 1: I bet the mustache is making a big, a big 1520 01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:16,000 Speaker 1: comeback right now, and not just for airline pilots who 1521 01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:18,280 Speaker 1: always have to have a mustache. I will say this. 1522 01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:22,120 Speaker 1: I feel safer when I get on a plane and 1523 01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,719 Speaker 1: my pilot has a big, bushy mustache. You just feel 1524 01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:26,760 Speaker 1: like that guy's a pilot, you know what I mean? 1525 01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:30,479 Speaker 1: Am I crazy? All right? Maybe I'm crazy. The good 1526 01:34:30,479 --> 01:34:32,000 Speaker 1: news is we've got roll call, so we don't have 1527 01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:37,200 Speaker 1: to worry about that. I'll be right back.

So with all of 1549 01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:03,640 Speaker 1: that said, let's get into all of the latest and 1550 01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:09,519 Speaker 1: greatest in the roll call world. Let's see here we 1551 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:13,800 Speaker 1: have first up in the inbox. I know you sche Buck. 1552 01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:15,960 Speaker 1: Why don't you tee it up beforehand? Because you always do? 1553 01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:20,759 Speaker 1: Because I like the suspense. I like the suspense Chessen, 1554 01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:24,040 Speaker 1: cool name rights. It struck me today listening to your 1555 01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:27,640 Speaker 1: show that it's amazing that the left is wanting manifoord 1556 01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:30,920 Speaker 1: in prison for years, but feels that non violent drug 1557 01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:33,599 Speaker 1: offenders should not go to jail because there was no violence. 1558 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:37,600 Speaker 1: Isn't it the same non violence in both situations, but 1559 01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:40,920 Speaker 1: they never feel that way because he's a Trump guy. No, Chessen, 1560 01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:43,439 Speaker 1: I would, I would take it a step further. I 1561 01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,840 Speaker 1: agree with your underlying point here, But to say that 1562 01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:50,840 Speaker 1: a drug offense, depending on the drug and the type 1563 01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:54,599 Speaker 1: of offense, is non violent, is often letting people off 1564 01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:57,720 Speaker 1: a little too easy. If you are selling opioids to 1565 01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:01,680 Speaker 1: opioid addicts, for example, if one were to do that, 1566 01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:04,519 Speaker 1: that is putting lives in danger, right. So if somebody 1567 01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:09,320 Speaker 1: is selling drugs to people and then they overdose, in fact, 1568 01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:14,240 Speaker 1: there's been a surge in prosecutions for murder for people 1569 01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:17,720 Speaker 1: who just sell drugs and then the person overdoses on 1570 01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:24,320 Speaker 1: those drugs. So I would say that, you know, manaforts 1571 01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:27,680 Speaker 1: crime is a crime strictly against the government, and the 1572 01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:31,000 Speaker 1: government is the only victim really, and it's a financial 1573 01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:33,439 Speaker 1: it's a it's a financial and process crime. There is 1574 01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:37,920 Speaker 1: no other victim. The process was victimized, and the Treasury 1575 01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:40,599 Speaker 1: Department in some way was victimized. And he's already made 1576 01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:45,000 Speaker 1: financial restitutions. So there is that. But Chessen good thinking, 1577 01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:47,599 Speaker 1: good message. Good to hear from you. Remember Facebook dot 1578 01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:52,120 Speaker 1: com slash Buck Sexton a team, Brad writes dear Buck 1579 01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:57,400 Speaker 1: dedicated podcast listener from Alaska. Here, while listing your latest podcast, 1580 01:37:57,439 --> 01:38:00,439 Speaker 1: I heard you referenced the Alaska subsidy while talking about 1581 01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:03,519 Speaker 1: universal basic income. What we have up here in Alaska 1582 01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,920 Speaker 1: is called the Permanent Fund Dividend or PFD for short. 1583 01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:10,120 Speaker 1: The fund was created and funded from oil revenue starting 1584 01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:13,960 Speaker 1: in the late seventies. In short, each Alaska resident gets 1585 01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:16,840 Speaker 1: a small dividend each year from the profits made in 1586 01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:19,760 Speaker 1: the stock market and other investments. You can imagine how 1587 01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:23,640 Speaker 1: the Alaska state politicians salivate about getting their hands on 1588 01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:26,559 Speaker 1: a sixty five billion dollars pot of gold meant for 1589 01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:30,519 Speaker 1: their constituents. Of course, having a state budget deficit of 1590 01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:33,760 Speaker 1: one point six billion dozen't help matters. Only time will 1591 01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:36,280 Speaker 1: tell what will happen to the PFD in the future. 1592 01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:40,599 Speaker 1: As always, love your show and shields high Brad really 1593 01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:42,920 Speaker 1: expert analysis there, my friend, thank you so much for 1594 01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:46,680 Speaker 1: running in from Alaska. And just so you know, I 1595 01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:51,400 Speaker 1: believe tomorrow I will be sitting down with Andrew Yang 1596 01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:56,000 Speaker 1: on rising. I think we are interviewing mister universal basic 1597 01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:59,680 Speaker 1: income himself so to speak, in the Democrat primary, and 1598 01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:03,679 Speaker 1: his proposal, from what I understand, is that there should 1599 01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:08,599 Speaker 1: be a special set aside from the Silicon Valley barrens 1600 01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:12,080 Speaker 1: and you know, the massive tech companies to create a 1601 01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:18,000 Speaker 1: national version via tech company subsidy of your Alaskan Permanent 1602 01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:20,479 Speaker 1: Fund dividend. So what you have up in Alaska, the 1603 01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:23,599 Speaker 1: PFD is as you explained it to me. They want 1604 01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:26,680 Speaker 1: to have that, but instead of oil revenue and investments, 1605 01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:31,439 Speaker 1: you know, and returns from that revenue that's invested, they 1606 01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:33,400 Speaker 1: want to do that at the national level and have 1607 01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:36,760 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley and maybe Wall Street as well fund that 1608 01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:40,960 Speaker 1: with a specific tax a set aside. So that's that's 1609 01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:43,960 Speaker 1: the plan. I don't think it's a good plan, but 1610 01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:46,519 Speaker 1: it is a for a lot of people on the left, 1611 01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:53,800 Speaker 1: a compelling plan. All right. Let's see here, um Adam right, 1612 01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:56,240 Speaker 1: So the quote from yesterday was big trouble Little China. 1613 01:39:56,560 --> 01:40:00,280 Speaker 1: The check is in the mail Jack Burton.

I'm a little sad 1638 01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:15,320 Speaker 1: on the inside because you all call because you just 1639 01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,320 Speaker 1: want to talk to producer Mike because he's the cool one. 1640 01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:19,799 Speaker 1: I'm the one who talks all the time. But Producer 1641 01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:23,360 Speaker 1: Mike is the cool one. Michael Right. Speaking of Mike, 1642 01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:28,160 Speaker 1: Michael writes, Buck, you can say Rio grand Valley. That's 1643 01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:30,120 Speaker 1: how I hear it referred to in Texas, not the 1644 01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:35,840 Speaker 1: Rio Grande. We've texified a lot of Spanish words. Guacamole 1645 01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:40,839 Speaker 1: or guacamole is just guac. The Alamo doesn't have a basement. 1646 01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:43,719 Speaker 1: The stairs are sorry. The stars at night are indeed 1647 01:41:43,720 --> 01:41:46,160 Speaker 1: big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas shield's 1648 01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:50,920 Speaker 1: eye Michael, Texas, it is the Promised Land, from what 1649 01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:55,679 Speaker 1: I understand, my MainMan Bart from way back when. Isn't 1650 01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:58,639 Speaker 1: an interesting that Elizabeth Warren came out for reparations so 1651 01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:02,000 Speaker 1: early in her presidential run, not just in some vague 1652 01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:05,080 Speaker 1: response to reporters question, but with a full fledged announcement 1653 01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:06,320 Speaker 1: that this would be one of the core issues of 1654 01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:09,000 Speaker 1: her campaign. You know, Bart, I think that you raise 1655 01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:13,000 Speaker 1: just with that an interesting point because Elizabeth Warren is 1656 01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:15,240 Speaker 1: trying to obviously kind of tack into the wind on 1657 01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:19,000 Speaker 1: the whole racial justice issue. So instead of walking away 1658 01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:21,800 Speaker 1: from it and leaving it alone because of her obvious 1659 01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:24,519 Speaker 1: racial fraud and the hoax that she perpetrated to advance 1660 01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:27,400 Speaker 1: her professional career, She's trying to say, oh no, I'm 1661 01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:30,280 Speaker 1: going to be a leader on this issue. It's an 1662 01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:33,919 Speaker 1: interesting PR strategy, but I do think it is doomed 1663 01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:38,320 Speaker 1: to fail.
