1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. We have a sneak

2
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: peek into what a sit down between Robert Muller and

3
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: President Trump would look like. The questions have leaked, but

4
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: who leaked the questions? Also, we will get into an

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: update on the Iran nuclear deal within a couple of weeks,

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: will know if it is re certified. Plus a deep

7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: dive into was marks a good thing? You know the answer,

8
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: But I'll give you some of the history of may

9
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Day to go along with it. That and more coming up.

10
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: This is the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence

12
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: magnor mistake American, You're a great American? Again The buck

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show begins. SECTI no gree names, my friends, my

14
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: fellow patriots. Another day down here in this swamp. I

15
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: feel like I need one of those boats that has

16
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: the big fan on the back. You know, I don't

17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: know if you call it a fan boat or whatever

18
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: it is. I've actually been on them. They go very fast.

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: But I need one of those to get around the swamp. Um.

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: But it is another day of back and forth between

21
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: Trump and Muller. We have all these questions that were

22
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: released that are purportedly leaked to The Times, purportedly about

23
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: what Muller would ask Trump if they were to have

24
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: a sit down. Now, I don't think there are much

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: in the way of surprises here. Um. The questions run

26
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: the gamut of what you would expect Muller to ask

27
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Trump if he was trying to just ask him everything,

28
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: which is really what's the best description of it that

29
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: I can think of. Um, they're looking into a lot

30
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: about the possible obstruction, and then some questions dealing with Russia,

31
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: and you know, Mueller wants to ask him everything. He

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: wants to ask him about everything. Um, I have to

33
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: think that Trump is not going to do this sit down.

34
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: But the more it becomes a possible showdown between Trump

35
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: and Mueller a kind of mono amano vibe, then I think,

36
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: you see, there's the possibility that Trump will do it,

37
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: but he's not going to show any fear here, that

38
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: he is not afraid of it. And I just bring

39
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: myself back to this repeated thought on it time and again,

40
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: what a giant waste this whole thing is. They're not

41
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: going to find any inclusion. We've known that for so

42
00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: many months. There only doing this because of this holy

43
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: alliance between Mueller and Komy and Patrick Fitzgerald, these head

44
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: hunter prosecutors that have really thought they were able to

45
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: play God at different times in our political process by

46
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: nailing one person or another in obvious partisan ways. And

47
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: yet we can't seem to get past this. We can't

48
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: seem to get beyond it. The Mueller inquiry, as I

49
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: see it, is intended to do exactly what it is doing,

50
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: which has grind away at people, the processes, the punishment

51
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: cause them to spend untold millions on legal fees and

52
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: lost night's sleep, And it's just part of the obstruction effort.

53
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Really there, there is a big collusion that is going on.

54
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: It is the collusion of the mainstream media, the Democrat Party,

55
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: the judiciary to obstruct Trump in every way possible that

56
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: they can. That's why, as I see this, I just

57
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: get so very frustrated that we even have to waste

58
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: time in it as a country. Uh, it's not even

59
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: really possible for there to be obstruction when it comes

60
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: to the president firing somebody who works from because the

61
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: president is just allowed to do this. The president has

62
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: the right, the constitutional right to fire. Uh. To fire

63
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: Comy for no reason or any reason. So how can

64
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: how can we be in a place where the Special

65
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: Counsel is looking into this? It's just a waste. It's

66
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: all premised on a lie. And the lie is that

67
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 1: this is about protecting our democracy and finding out what's

68
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: that the you know, finding out how we could stop

69
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: the next one. By the way, have we is there

70
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: anything that's really been raised on that one? Oh? Well,

71
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Facebook now put a little more information

72
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: out there about what ads people are buying. Oh, let

73
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: us how Facebook is now also asking a lot of

74
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: people to self identify if a post has hate speech

75
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: in it. It's kind of a weird thing to ask.

76
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Talk to you more about that one later. Uh, But

77
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, I just see this as an obvious political

78
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: fight that's playing out through the very top end, meaning

79
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: the Mueller probe and the Special Council, that's playing out

80
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: in front of all of America day in and day out,

81
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: and it's just going to nowheresville. It will eventually be

82
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: a nothing burger on the substance. But the process of

83
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: getting there in this case, the cooking to sort of

84
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: take the analogy and stretch it out a little further.

85
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: Is meant to be crappy, it's meant to be painful,

86
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: It's meant to make people not want to work for

87
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: the administration. You know, I look at how the lack

88
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: of lawyers lining up to defend Trumps just indicative of

89
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: what they've been able to accomplish at this point. On

90
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: the other side, which is to scare good people away

91
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: from the administration. They have this whole Oh look at

92
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: the big ORG chart. Look at all the people who

93
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: have left Trump's side don't want to work near him anymore.

94
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: And I come at this and say, that's because of

95
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: what they do to people. Look at how they go

96
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: after Scott Pruett. Look at how they go after Ronnie Jackson.

97
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: Ronnie Jackson, a guy who everyone that I've heard, who

98
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: I trust in the media says and who knows him says,

99
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: is a guy of tremendous character. And it's just a

100
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: good a good dude. It's a good dude and a professional.

101
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: But they ruin people's lives and you don't want to

102
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: be around that. And I can understand why people who

103
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: are happy and you know, you only get to go

104
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: get to go through this whole thing once it's tough

105
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: to want to sacrifice yourself if you don't even feel

106
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: like you're gonna be able to make that much of

107
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: a difference in the machine now, or how much you

108
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: like Trump, no matter how much you think the agenda

109
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: is important, it's tough to make that decision that you're

110
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: gonna just sacrifice your own well being in happiness and

111
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: give it everything that's going on. You know, it really is.

112
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: So I look at this now and I just see

113
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: the continued, slow grinding gears of this whole Mueller probe,

114
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: and uh, and I see that when it's all over,

115
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: you know what's gonna end up happening. The people that

116
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: have been telling you for the last two years, the CNN's,

117
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: the the MSNBC s and all the like, all the rest,

118
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna act like they haven't been doing that. And

119
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: this was necessary to get to the point where we

120
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: can all, oh, that's right, start thinking about what what

121
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: Democrat we're going to elect or place Trump, because I

122
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: think it's gonna stretch well beyond the midterms. This is

123
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: gonna be I would not be surprised at this stretch

124
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: into Trump's third year in office. More on a special

125
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Council or on the Special Council look ing at this

126
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: now for obstruction, think about what that would do to

127
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: the country. Imagine for a moment, Muller tried to bring

128
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: obstruction of justice charges against the President United States for

129
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: firing sank to Comey. That's what we're really talking about here.

130
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: You fire, you fire Sancta Comey. And there's there's a

131
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: big problem, says who how Why there's a guy who

132
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: is a political infighter who plays dirty. We all know

133
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: this now, never mind the fact that he's really the

134
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: opposite of charismatic and confidence inspiring and does not It

135
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: should not sit well with all the patriotic special agents

136
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: out there for the FBI across the country that this

137
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: was the guy who really tied himself Comey, really tied

138
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: himself into being the FBI. You know, louis the fourteenth,

139
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: Late tat Lata six and late Tad. I know you're

140
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: like Buck, you're americanizing it. The state is me, uh

141
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: for call me the FBI is me. And that's the disgrace.

142
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: And it's not true. It's first of all, it's not true.

143
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: But also it's not helping. It's not helping the FBI

144
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: to have us be the case. But but all these

145
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: different questions that Mueller wanted up allegedly as assuming this

146
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: is correct, all these questions um would get us nowhere

147
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: as a country, doesn't help us, doesn't prepare us for

148
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: the future, doesn't do anything. It just plays into the

149
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: mania that the anti Trump forces have and that guide

150
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: so much of their decision making and their thinking. Uh

151
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: And and this is a fixation. I mean, they really

152
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: have a a Trump debasement addiction. Right, Anything that is

153
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: a slam on Trump, that hurts Trump, that goes after him,

154
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: they are in favor of. Sarah Huckaby Sanders was asked

155
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: about this League of questions, by the way, and here's

156
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: what here's what she had to say in place seventeen

157
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: that the league was just graceful. But a former assistance

158
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: to Special Counsel Robert Mueller has suggested that the White

159
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: House was behind them any wrong. Once again, I can't

160
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: comment on anything regarding those questions, and I would refer

161
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: you to the presidents As a question about about specifically

162
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: the White being involved today, it was actually specific to

163
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: the president and that's why I'm referencing and referring you

164
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: to the president's personal attorneys who can speak on that better. Uh.

165
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: Who leaked the questions is much less important than why

166
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: are these questions even in play? Why are we even

167
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: at this point? This is all just going to turn

168
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: into another partisan spat at other partisan dispute, And I

169
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: will never forget what's going on here. I won't forget

170
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: the journalists who salivate, who get just so excited at

171
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: the prospect of you know, Paul Man of Work going

172
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: to prison for thirty years. Oh, we'll all sleep better

173
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: at night now, who have no problem with the damage

174
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: that's been done to General Michael Lynn, that he faces

175
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: prison time, that he's gonna be a convicted felon. They

176
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: think this was all great over what over nothing? How

177
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: I would not McCabe could not face prison time FBI

178
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: acting director for what he did, but Flynn is facing

179
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: prison time for what he did. Is just it's just

180
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: beyond my comprehension or I understand it. It just makes

181
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: me really mad and makes me want to use some

182
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: some foul language, which of course I will not do.

183
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: But on another day in the news cycle, it's just,

184
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: you know, let's see how much we can talk about

185
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: how they're gonna get Trump. You know. There's other stuff

186
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: that I want to discuss with you, though, like what's

187
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: going on with these assi lees, those who are requesting

188
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: asylum as they're now being processed. What are we finding

189
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: out about them? We'll talk about that at the border.

190
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: Also some follow up to the bombshell Net and Yahoo

191
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: presentation on Iran's nuclear program and how the the left,

192
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: how the Democrats are reacting to it. A lot of Oh,

193
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: is it wrong really better than rather? Is Israel really

194
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: better than Iran? Yeah, it's really better than I wrong, Democrats,

195
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: that is That is the case. We'll spend some time

196
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: on that there, and then just Marxism and may Day.

197
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: We've got that coming up too. So I would love

198
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: to hear from any of you out there that to

199
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: have some thoughts on whether the leaked questions are going

200
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: to affect I think they won't really one way or

201
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: the other. I don't see how this changes anything, but

202
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: you have a theory on why the questions were leaked,

203
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: who leaked them, and what it will do now that

204
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: they're out there. I've got to assume that anyone's got

205
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: to look at this and think that it would be

206
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: completely insane for for Trump to sit down with Mueller,

207
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: because I just see it as all. I see it

208
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: as all one big perjury trap. I really do. But

209
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: if you have thoughts on any of that, I would

210
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: love to hear it. Eight four four eight to five

211
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: eight four buck quick break and we'll be right back.

212
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: Give me reaction to the news that certain members of

213
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: the House Freedom Caucus have talked about drafting up articles

214
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: of impeachment. Despite your best efforts to comply with their

215
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: document requests, they can't even resist leaking their own drafts.

216
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: I elaborate on that. I saw that draft. I mean,

217
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: I don't know who wrote it. It really does illustrate, though,

218
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: a really important principle about the rule of law and

219
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: a distinction between the way we operate in the Department

220
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: and we make mistakes. That's not to say we're flawless,

221
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: but the way we operate in the Department of Justice.

222
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: If we're can accuse somebody of wrongdoing, we have to

223
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: have admissible evidence and credible witnesses. We need to prepare

224
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: to prove our case in court, and we have to

225
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: fix our signature to the charging document. That's something that

226
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: not everybody appreciates. There's a lot of talk about PISA applications,

227
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: and many people that I see talking about it seemed

228
00:13:54,679 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: not to recognize what a pies applicat. Well, I think

229
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: Rosenstein uh departing would be a good thing, but he

230
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: seems very confident that he doesn't have to worry about

231
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: getting impeached. There we have it. Um, that was Rosenstein

232
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: obviously top d O J official now that in this

233
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: matter because Jeff Sessions has recused himself. Mark in Ohio,

234
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: get to talk to you, sir, good hey, listen, I've

235
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: been practicing law thirty years, uh fourteen is the litigator

236
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Um, lawyers do not write questions like that.

237
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: They don't use words of thinking and how did you

238
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: react and how did you feel? I mean, if that's

239
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: if that's the experienced lawyer writing questions like that and

240
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: the Justice Apartment, then we got even bigger problems because

241
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: that's that's written by a first year law student or

242
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: just my feeling, there's no way that could have come

243
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: out of Fueler's office, I mean Muller's office. I mean

244
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: that that's just written like such a first year law

245
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: student that um, you know, it's just it's just nonsensical.

246
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean, my my conclusion, and nothing's crazy at this point?

247
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: Is this here at times or somebody just dropped them

248
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: up and throw them out there and keep this issue

249
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: a lot. But I cannot imagine I came from Mueller's office.

250
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: I could promise you that that's shame that how it's

251
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: simplistic and that's written written like a lawyer. Yeah, people

252
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: said that. And also I know even on up on

253
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: the Drudge Report, they were saying that the the grammar

254
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: was was a big issue. Right, yeah, it's just it's

255
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: just he's just reading it. You can tell HER's not

256
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: written by an experience litigator. I mean, they don't write

257
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: like that, and and they're not gonna accomplish anything with it.

258
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: But but why so, why would the New York Times

259
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: go forward? Let's let's assume it is a forgery, right,

260
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: let's meaning that it's just somebody made up questions. What's

261
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: the what do you think the purpose of of releasing

262
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: it is? I mean, you know, because from my angle,

263
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: it's it shows that they want to ask Trump a

264
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. So maybe he shouldn't sit and

265
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: talk to them. Oh no, way, she didn't talked to him,

266
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: absolutely not. I mean, incredible evening even have him sit

267
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: down to talk to anybody. I mean, show us that

268
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: evidence first, and then then maybe he'll talk. But now

269
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: he'd be crazy to do anything. I mean, and uh,

270
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know. Maybe New York Times are

271
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: still trying to phone newspapers. I mean, it's allays been

272
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: doing the whole time anyway, and whatever the hell they

273
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: want up there. So that well, what do you say, Marks,

274
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: And since you seem to have a handle on this one,

275
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: what do you think about the allegation that Trump himself

276
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: leak or not himself, but someone on the Trump team

277
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: leaked this out there? Well, yeah, I heard that too,

278
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean that would you know that?

279
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know that

280
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: that one. I just don't see how that benefits Trump.

281
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really get. Uh, yeah, I have

282
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: no Yeah, I mean, it wouldn't be it wouldn't be

283
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: in the direction of Trump certainly. And how could you

284
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: get how could you get the New York Times. By

285
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: the way, if you're a Trump surrogate, you get the

286
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: New York Times to run with this. I find that hard. Yeah, yeah, exactly,

287
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'd be stipped out immediately. You know, only

288
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: a few people can work on that document, So I

289
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: think that's bs. Be honest with the guy. It it

290
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: seems nothing more than just you know, somebody trying to

291
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, can't create this. We're getting close to a union.

292
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: You know. If he doesn't sit down, then therefore he's

293
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: goody and they don't know what they're playing. He shouldn't.

294
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: He shouldn't sit down and do it for sure. Thanks

295
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: for calling in, Mark Matt in Pittsburgh. Hey, but great show.

296
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: You're a great American. I actually worked in law enforcement,

297
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 1: and key point that I'd like to make more public

298
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 1: and people understand is when they went after Trump, they

299
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: used search warrants, and they violated what attorneys never do

300
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: and go after their own attorneys. But they used the

301
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 1: search warrant, not when to win at When they went

302
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: after everyone else on the other side, with the Democrats

303
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: and Hillary and everything, it was always administrative subpoenas. And

304
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: how I'd like to make people understand it if they

305
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: don't know the difference, that is, if you have a

306
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: sex defender who has kitty porn on a computer or

307
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: phone or device, all law enforcement uses a search warrant,

308
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: nobody sends them a letter in the mail and says, hey,

309
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: we're coming to see on the fifteen because that evidence

310
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: will be on But that's exactly what they did on

311
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: the other side with this. Wait, it did it on

312
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: the other side, meaning how the Democrats when they went

313
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: after Hillary. Oh yeah, Hillary, okay, yeah, not with not

314
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: with not with Cohen and the Trump side. Yeah yeah,

315
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: sure of course. Yeah, they gave Hillary every advantage in

316
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: the process. I mean, that's I think been well well documented.

317
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: Not just every advantage. I think they've been over backwards

318
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: to make sure it was basically impossible to indict her. Um.

319
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: But I look, I appreciate yeah started it. Yeah, they

320
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: had already decided it. Matt. I appreciate you calling him man,

321
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: but we actually gotta run a new quick break. Thank you, sir. Um.

322
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: When we come back, I have well, we definitely talking

323
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: about the border, but I've got some of the thoughts

324
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: view on the Proud situation too, So start right there.

325
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: He's holding the line for America, Buck Sexton his back.

326
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: People think of border security in very different ways, but

327
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: to me, it's very simple. Border security as national security.

328
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: We see fifteen terrorists either planning to travel or actually

329
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: traveling to the United States each day, known as suspected terrorists.

330
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: So that means they're coming through our legal landport and

331
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: uh an air that they could be coming across that border.

332
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: The border is a national security issue, that's for sure.

333
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: It's a lot more of that. It's also an economic issue,

334
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: a political issue, cultural issue. It touches in so many

335
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: different parts of our lives. And the administration says a

336
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: lot of very good things on immigration, on particularly illegal

337
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: immigration and border security, but I can't say that we

338
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: have really seen the results yet, and I think that

339
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: the rhetoric is starting to really outpace the reality. And

340
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: that's a problem. You have this caravan, which you will

341
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: note I've been telling you it's not going to stop.

342
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: It might dissipate a bit, as it has. But this

343
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: caravan now at the UH Tijuana San Diego border crossing. Um,

344
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, you have this caravan that's gotten there, and

345
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: now you have some of them that are already being processed.

346
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: Now there's a there's a lot of different angles I

347
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: want to come out here, but one of them is

348
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: just this. Just think about this for a moment. The

349
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: way the media portrays this, it's people who are fleeing

350
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: their country of origin because they just have no choice.

351
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: Asylum is not supposed to be for Hey, the country

352
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: I come from is in is in a pretty crappy

353
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: condition right now. Things are bad, So I just want

354
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: to be an American instead. That's called an immigrant. It's

355
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: happened millions and millions of times over long period in

356
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: our country's history. Fine, but that would be people going

357
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 1: through the immigration process. The asylum process is a separate

358
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: wing if you well, it's it's a separate entry pathway

359
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: for those to come into this country, and it's not

360
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Well, the country I'm coming from has

361
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: a lot of crime and it's a bad, a bad

362
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: place right now. Because that's true of way too much

363
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: of the world that can get here um either on

364
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: foot or even coming to one of our ports of

365
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: entry by boat or plane for us to be able

366
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: to handle. Right, if it were just my country is

367
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: not a place I want to live. I'd rather be

368
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: in America. We would be inundated. And what's the point

369
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: of the legal immigration process then, you know, well, what's

370
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: to stop somebody from saying, well, you know, yeah, I

371
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: live in You know, I don't know Russia. Russia has

372
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: got a high crime, right, all kinds of corruption. Oh,

373
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: I can't go back to Russia because of all that stuff.

374
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: If you think that I'm just assuming that people are

375
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: gaming the system, I can. I can give you some

376
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: statistics courtesy of the Washington Post. Here the number of

377
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: foreigners making a claim of quote credible fear rose almost

378
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: nine hundred percent between two thousand and eight and twenty

379
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: x twenty times more people are now coming to the

380
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: country saying I have a credible fear of going back.

381
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: This is a learned statement. This is what you say

382
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: when you want to be in the process. And now

383
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: another way that they lie to us about this. And

384
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: remember they're processing some of these asylum requests already from

385
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: the caravan. Another part of this, though, is that you

386
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: have those who are given asylum status, and then you

387
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: just have those who get into the country and then

388
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: just kind of disappear into the system. We have an

389
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: enormous backlog of immigration cases in this country. No one

390
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be chasing down someone who just got denied asylum.

391
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: So that means that if you can get into the

392
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: country at all, Uh, then you can in fact stay

393
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: in the country. And this is why interior enforcement is

394
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: so important. This is why e verifying the workplace is

395
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: so important. You need to have a multifaceted, multi pronged

396
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: approach to immigration, or else it's just one big con.

397
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: You will have so many different ways to exploit the

398
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: system and exploit all the different points of entry in it,

399
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: literally and figuratively. Now, I know that the Justice Department

400
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: is highlighting that they are doing some enforcement here. That

401
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: d J put out a release today that they have

402
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: filed criminal charges against eleven different suspected members of the

403
00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: so called caravan. According this is Jeff Sessions today, and

404
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: these are people who have entered illegally in violation of

405
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: eight USC. One of these guys was previously deported and

406
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: he was charged with illegal reentry. So I just want

407
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: to note that, you know, part of the caravan are

408
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: people that have already been told you are not allowed

409
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: to be in this country, and they are coming back.

410
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: Why do you think that's happening? And this is just

411
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: the one that we've heard about. Oh, because there's this

412
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: moment now where people realize you show up and you

413
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: convince somebody you have a credible fear and try to

414
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,719
Speaker 1: play the system. And I would note, is there anyone

415
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: in al Savador, for example, which has an astronomically high

416
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: per capita murder rate? Is there anyone in UH Honduras

417
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: that cannot claim credible fear? You know, I actually had

418
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: a very interesting UH drive when I was in San

419
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: Diego a few weeks ago. I know this is this

420
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: now now I'm pulling a page from the Tom Friedman book.

421
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: I was talking to my cab driver, but I was

422
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: speaking with my uber driver, who was very eloquent and

423
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: talk to me about the neighborhoods of San Diego. And

424
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: we did quite a drive around because I wanted to

425
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: see it, and I think San Diego is very lovely.

426
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: And I was talking to her and I could tell

427
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: that she was of Latina extraction, and she was the

428
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: Spanish speaker, and I didn't jump to any conclusions, but

429
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: turned out she was Mexican and we we we had

430
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: a chat about it. I thought it was really interesting

431
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: case I said to her, you know, so is it

432
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: because she was surprised that I knew as much as

433
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: I did, of course, about the levels of violence and

434
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: cartel activity in Mexico because it doesn't get very much

435
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: attention here anymore. And it's, as I've been telling you,

436
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: as bad as it's ever been, seventeen worst year ever

437
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: in Mexico for murders. And I said, well, is this

438
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: something where if you're in certain parts of the country

439
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: you feel like it doesn't effect you, it's not really

440
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: your problem, because you do see this in some major

441
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: urban areas of this country with regard to crime within

442
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: the city. I know people who live in Chicago, for example,

443
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: and they say, well, yeah, Chicago has a really high

444
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: murder rate, but it's all in the south and some

445
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: I think somewhat in the west of the city. Um

446
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: in New York City, place I know very well from

447
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: living there but also from working from the for the

448
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: m y p D. Vast majority of the violence there

449
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: is clustered in the South Bronx and a part of

450
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: what is essentially central eastern Brooklyn. That's where you have

451
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: most of the homicide still. And and so people who

452
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: live in Manhattan, for example, or Staten Island, they don't

453
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: they don't go to those areas, and so they don't

454
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: really pay much attention to it. So I asked her,

455
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: I just wanted to test out the thesis. I said, well,

456
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: so you know you you come from She told me

457
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: she came from a pretty middle or upper mineral class

458
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: background in Mexico by Mexican standards. I said, does this

459
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: really affect you? What's going on there? As we were

460
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: talking with the violence? I said, or is it just

461
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: if you don't live in uh Guerrero or I'm trying

462
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: to think of some of the Uh yeah, some of

463
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: the rougher areas right Tijuana actually, I mean you go

464
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: down the Baja Peninsula, uh and Cabo and that whole area.

465
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: Tremendous amount of violence there and uh I said, you

466
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: know if you stay out of those areas, She said, oh, no,

467
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 1: it affects you everywhere. What do you mean that, Well,

468
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: one of the things that goes on in Mexico I've

469
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: never even heard of this before, is something called well,

470
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: actually forget what the term is that you use, but

471
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: it's essentially speed kidnapping. What's that? Well, imagine that you

472
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: get a phone call and they have to do they

473
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: can do very minimal surveillance on you to get this information, right,

474
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: I mean, think about how many people would know this

475
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: just your number and that you have kids, your phone number,

476
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: that you've got kids. Not hard to do. And they

477
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: call you and they say, well, um, uh, you know

478
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: MS so and so. If you don't go to this

479
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: sight and deposit five thousand dollars into a bank account

480
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: in the next five minutes, uh, you'll never see your

481
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: daughter again. Now, you might say, well, the person could

482
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: just call it up, but are you going to test

483
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: that theory out. They don't want a million dollars, they

484
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: want five thousand dollars. You know, we've got her, she's

485
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: across the street with us right now. We'll let her

486
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: go if you give us five thousand dollars. If you don't,

487
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna you know, we're gonna cut her hand off.

488
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: Or if you don't, you're never gonna see her again.

489
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: A really insidious addition to what we know of is kidnapping,

490
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: which has been a terrible plague in Mexico for a

491
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: long time. And she said, this has been happening, And

492
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: I said, well, you know, I've never even heard of this.

493
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: The idea of being they haven't kidnapped, they actually haven't

494
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: kidnapped anymore. But kidnapping is such a credible, credible threat

495
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: we'll get back to this in a second credible thread

496
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: in Mexico right now that if somebody calls you and says, look,

497
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: just give us five thousand and everything, will you know

498
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: we'll give you back your family member, I said, daughter,

499
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: could be your husband, could be anyone. Be well, just

500
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: in a panic pay it. It's just a scam. It's

501
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: a particularly evil and vicious scam. But it's just a scam,

502
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: and that's how bad thing. And then she also told

503
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: me that you know, you'll see that she saw people

504
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: in broad daylight who were in fact abducted, were kidnapped,

505
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: and you see dead bodies. And this happens in some

506
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: of the major cities of Mexico. It just happens, and

507
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: it's a part of a of an day to day

508
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: life there that I don't think it is nearly reported

509
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: on enough, and and in our country, so I try

510
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: to tell you about it here. I find it very

511
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: interesting that I think that most Americans know a lot

512
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: more about this scale and scope of violence in Syria,

513
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: for example, then they do about what's going on in Mexico.

514
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: Now I'm not I know Mexico hasn't had five hundred

515
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: thousand people killed in the last six seven years, it's

516
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 1: had probably close to a hundred thousand though, and it's

517
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: right next door. And it's a problem for us, a

518
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: national security and economic and h and and cultural issue

519
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: in this country that we don't see them able to

520
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: really grasp the full extent and weight of UH. I

521
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: bring all this up one because I just want to

522
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: share that with you. There was eye opening to hear

523
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: that from somebody who had just been living in Mexico

524
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: until I think about six seven months ago, she said.

525
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: And also because can anyone in Mexico now, I know

526
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: there's designations and right now all Salvador and Honduras is

527
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: under some designation that you know Central American countries are,

528
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,479
Speaker 1: which is why they're moving in these caravans through Mexico.

529
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: But if it's just really about my country has a

530
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: lot of violence and crime, and I don't want to

531
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: go back. Can anyone in Mexico credibly claim that they can?

532
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: You know, they shouldn't have to go back credible fear.

533
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: I have a credible fear of the cartels. I don't

534
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: want to be a Mexican anymore. I'm just trying to

535
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: look at this from the perspective of what are we

536
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: really doing right now with our asylum policy and what

537
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: is it really based on. You can leave the Central

538
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: American countries because they're really bad shape. There are a

539
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: lot of places that are really bad shape. Why is

540
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: this the designation that's being used right now? And Trump

541
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: made a lot of noise and talked a lot about

542
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: how he wasn't going to allow this. And now I

543
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: look at the processing of these immigrants and you've got

544
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: to think, are these asylum seekers? Notice that they always

545
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: call them migrants. I don't think that that's an accident.

546
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: I've always thought that the term migrant was made to

547
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: make it seem like, you know, they're just moving from

548
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: one job to another. You think of migrant workers. No,

549
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: these are people that are trying to come into the

550
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: country through, in this case, a legal process that I

551
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: think they're scamming, though many of them are scamming the

552
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: legal process. Uh. And it's a a loophole. It's the

553
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: exploitation of a system that needs an overhaul and that

554
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: Congress just won't touch. I think the cowardice in Congress

555
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: on immigration is only superseded by their cowardice on spending

556
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: and the debt, which nobody's really serious about dealing with

557
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: it all. It's just a complete joke. I mean, one

558
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: day I'll be sitting here doing a radio show for

559
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: you when the stock market has plaunged thirty in a

560
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: very short period of time and everyone's freaking out because

561
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: of you know, rising interest rates and what are we

562
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna do about the dead? And how is growth gonna

563
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: make uh? And then then we can actually talk about

564
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: the Until then that nobody wants to hear about it, right,

565
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: No Republican is serious about cutting spending, and Democrats feel

566
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: like spending us into oblivion is a good idea. But

567
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: immigration is a close second for just complete congressional cowardice.

568
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: They don't want to deal with that, they don't want

569
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: to talk about it. And the asylum process, as you

570
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: see it here is just another way to get around

571
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: the system. Alright, eight four, eight to five, Stay with me, team.

572
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: We got David in Allentown, Pennsylvania wants to get on

573
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: the action. Hey David, what what obligation does the United

574
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: States have to grant asylum If they haven't asked Mexico

575
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: for it, shouldn't they be asking the first country to

576
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: come to form for asylum? Isn't there an interesting point.

577
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: It also came up, by the way, when you had

578
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: all of these refugees leaving Syria who were making their

579
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: way through Turkey, which is a pretty developed and reasonably

580
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: well off country itself, and wanted to go not just

581
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: to Europe. But they were like, no, no, no, we

582
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: don't want Greece, we don't want Bulgaria. Uh, we want Sweden.

583
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're like they're picking, like from a catalog.

584
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: I want asylum in either Germany or Sweden where they

585
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: have a really nice, cushy welfare state. That was the

586
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: decision that was being made in many cases. Well, would

587
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: be interesting to note the international law is um in

588
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: this case. Yeah, I can't. I can't speak to the

589
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: international law. It's a it's a very good question. I

590
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: mean I would I would assume the Mexican government would say, well,

591
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what they're gonna say, but I

592
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: would guess they'd say something like, uh, you know, we

593
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: we don't have a program in place for central I

594
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: mean that they try to keep and they have for

595
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: a long time, try to limit the entry in New Mexico,

596
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: particularly of Guatemalans. And there's been some tension because the

597
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: Mexican UH, Mexican authorities have been trying to keep Guatemalans

598
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: out of the country. And I think you can actually

599
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: do a pretty you can do a pretty long stint

600
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: in Mexican prison if you are called in the country

601
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: working illegally as a Central American. But if you're just

602
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: passing on through to go to America, no problem. By

603
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: the way, if if Mexico was really trying to help

604
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: us out, think about how different the border security situation

605
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: would really be. Sure, well, I wouldn't hang a big

606
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: fox to be you sign on the border fence and

607
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: say turn around and ask ask the guy behind you

608
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: because we have no abligation. Well, right right now, we

609
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: have this law in place, and thank you for calling in, David.

610
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: We got this law in place. Until that changes, Um,

611
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have more of this. Remember it starts with

612
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: a caravan of a hundred getting a lot of news coverage.

613
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: The next caravan could be thirty thousand, who knows. Remember

614
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: when the unaccompanied minor surge happened some years ago. You

615
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: had a huge spike and all these quote unaccompanied miners

616
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: showing up at the border. Um, I wanted to. I

617
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: gotta talk you about Iran because that got so much

618
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 1: attention yesterday. That'll be coming up in a second. But first,

619
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: just I was happy to see that Matt Groening, who

620
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: is the creator of the hit multi decade. Uh, I

621
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I don't know, cartoon. There you go,

622
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: the Simpsons multi decade extravaganza, There you go, the Simpsons. Uh.

623
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: He's saying over the whole controversy that, you know what,

624
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: people just like to quote pretend they're offended. Nice to

625
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: see somebody who's who's clapping back here, you know, who's

626
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: had enough. I'm glad that the Simpsons is not completely

627
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: you know, after that whole Hankers area thing where look,

628
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: he's an actor. I get it, he doesn't want the heat.

629
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: But don't throw in the towel on on a beloved

630
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: Simpsons character just because of some social justice words. Total nonsense.

631
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: So uh, high five for macroning of the Simpsons. Global

Speaker 1: They don't outsource your data, and they don't outsource the

637
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 1: work on it either. They keep it here on US

638
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: based servers, and they have US based personnel headquarters in

639

Speaker 1: Chicago and spread out throughout the country that will handle

Speaker 1: your case. Whenever you're talking about working with risk mitigation experts,

641
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,800

00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Mag Noor mistake, American,

649
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show.

650
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: Activit analysts. Sexton No. A lot of fall out after

651
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: yesterday's uh NET and Yahoo presentation hit the air waves.

652
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: People are saying that the US has verified a lot

653
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: of this and ports are it is. It is as

654
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: we thought that the Irans are very much in the

655
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: let's wait and get nukes when we can business and

656
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: have been for a long time. The Obama administration was interesting.

657
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: Some of you say, I remember our caller yesterday that

658
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: the whole intent is to create a pathway, really in

659
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: a pathway that can't be altered for Iron to get nukes,

660
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: Which isn't that crazy when you read some of the

661
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: scholarship on the left on this issue, didn't you have?

662
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: I think you had Chris Quota today. Guys, see if

663
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: you can pull this for me. I think he was

664
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: pushing I forget if it wasnt Yaho. I just saw

665
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: the headline as I was doing all my reds today

666
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: for whether Israel has nukes? Didn't that happen today? Am

667
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: I crazy? I think that might have happened? Maybe I

668
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: imagine it. Producer might tell me if you see that.

669
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: But here's where we are with this whole thing. You got,

670
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: obviously Net and Yahoo, who's trying to push as much

671
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: as possible to get United States de certify the Iran

672
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: nuclear deal. Play three. Iran is gobbling up one country

673
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: after after the other. It's threatening to annihilate as well.

674
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: It's trying to put its army in Syria UH in

675
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: the service of a tyrannical regime. It's putting the precision

676
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: guided munitions in Lebanon. That means that they can fire

677
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: rockets into Israel that can hit the office I'm speaking

678
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: and everything else. Uh, they're trying to foment terrorism in Gaza.

679
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: They're firing rockets into Riyad, into Saudi Arabia right now

680
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: from Yemen, which they are also seeking to conquer. This

681
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: tyrannical anti American regime should not have nuclear weapons. You're

682
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: familiar with the b B point of view on this, clearly.

683
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: I would want to note that Obama chief National security

684
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: propagandist Ben Rhodes responded earlier today to all this hullabaloo

685
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: with the following quote by reminding everyone of the well

686
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: known pre Iran deal, Street Net and Yahoo inadvertently made

687
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: the case for why the Iran Deal needs to stay

688
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: in place. Without it, all the restrictions on Iran's program

689
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: and the inspections regime that verify compliance go away. A

690
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: few things here. First of all, the pre Iran Deal

691
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: history UH is not well known in the way that

692
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: he's suggesting it is. And the notion that UH violating right,

693
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: violating the initial terms of the agreement. Let me put

694
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: it this way, Here's the way I think about this.

695
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: Iran had to come clean in order for this agreement

696
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: to be complied with, and what we now know from

697
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: the net and Yahoo presentation is that they did not

698
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: come clean. This is kind of like if you've got

699
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: a job and you lied on the resume for the job,

700
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: and then after you'd had the job for a few months,

701
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: somebody said, hey, hold on a second, you you lied

702
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: about all your previous work experience. He said, yeah, but

703
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: doesn't that prove that you want to keep me in

704
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 1: this job though, right, because otherwise some really bad stuff

705
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: can happen. No, that doesn't really make sense. Right. We

706
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: are here under false under a false premise that there

707
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: has been an honesty in the case of the job,

708
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: and now in the case of the Iran nuclear program,

709
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: that j c p O a Joint Comprehensive plan of

710
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: action most boring acronym. Ever, and I know some boring acronyms.

711
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, UM so I understand the need

712
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: to or the the desire to include some parts of

713
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: this Iran deal um that weren't included, to turn up

714
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 1: the heat, the pressure, and to try and uh, remember,

715
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't just want better Rannie behavior on the nuclear deal.

716
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: I think we should be pushing for Iran not to

717
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: do the things that it's doing across the Middle East

718
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: right now, that that's where the real problem lies in

719
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: the short term, Iran and Yemen, Iran and Syria, in Iraq,

720
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: in name a name a country right now in the

721
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: Middle East, and you'll be able to find some destroy

722
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: the Irani in hand or intention at work. So that's

723
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: all parts. But then I also get this other You

724
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: hear this other point of view here, and you had

725
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: you had Pat Buchanan, I haven't heard it. I feel

726
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: like Pat hasn't really gotten much attention a while. I

727
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: haven't really seen much of patting the headlines, you know.

728
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: But Pat Buchanan's out there, and he's making the following

729
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: case play six. Maybe has been crying wolf for decades,

730
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: and US intelligence agencies in two thousand seven and again

731
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eleven said with high confidence quote

732
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: that they have no evidence of a nuclear weapons program

733
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 1: in Iran. Subsequent to that, we had the deal. Now,

734
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: if Iran has a nuclear weapons program and is working

735
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: on it and it's secret, that would be an abject

736
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,959
Speaker 1: failure on the part of American intelligence Natanya who would

737
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: respect wants the United States to fight a war against

738
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: Iran on Israel that he's talking about fighting a war

739
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: my country, getting into another world. It was Buchanan. I

740
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: didn't realize I was actually on Shawan show earlier. Um,

741
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: I gotta I agree on the point about how we're not,

742
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: you know, unless unless we think Iran is about to

743
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: hit us with something, and I mean like in a

744
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: matter of hours or days, maybe we cannot get involved

745
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 1: in a war where they're on we We absolutely cannot.

746
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you see the way this is played out Iraq, Afghanistan.

747
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: It is a it is a nightmare scenario. It's a

748
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: terrible idea for many many different reasons. And and I

749
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: do not want to get dragged into it a fight

750
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: with her on either now. I think that's many many

751
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: steps down the pathway, right, that's not something that we're

752
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: talking about right now with the nuclear certification issue, because

753
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: there was a false choice offered by the Obama administration,

754
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: which was this deal or war? What about the status

755
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: quo before of sanctions and international isolation on Iran? Why

756
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: wasn't that an option? It was, but the Obama administration

757
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: decided to throw throw it aside um. In part for

758
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: ideological reasons. They want to bring Iran into the community

759
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: of nations. They think Iran was uh the victim of

760
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: some bad American foreign policy in the past, you know,

761
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: pre seventy nine pre Iranian Revolution foreign policy. And you know,

762
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: I think that they also obviously wanted a very clear legacy,

763
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: as I've been saying, we were all in the legacy

764
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: item for Obama. That was a big reason for the

765
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: push here um. But you know, I don't think I

766
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: don't think that the choices here are continue with this

767
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: rewar that all said, there cannot be a U. S.

768
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: Military incursion, invasion, any of that stuff into Iran. It

769
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: just it cannot happen. And we need to be very

770
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: clear that we don't get pushed closer and closer to

771
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: that in some way. And that's I do feel like

772
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: that needs to be said. So in that sense, I

773
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: think of Buchanan is making a valid making a valid

774
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: point um. But it may be a bit early. But

775
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: is it really ever too early to say, hey, we're

776
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: not going to war in that country. We're just not

777
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: doing it. We've been through so much already. I mean,

778
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: you see what happened in Afghanistan earlier the week. It

779
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: barely gets to mention in most of the most of

780
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 1: the major news sites. But you have a massive double

781
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: suicide bombing in Cobble, nine journalists killed. Afghanistan. I think

782
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,959
Speaker 1: I started that. Trump said we're getting out. We should

783
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: get out, we should go leave behind what we have

784
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: to leave behind in order to support the obligations that

785
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: we've already made. But this, this has gotta this has

786
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: got to come to a conclusion one way or another.

787
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: Uh And, And I'm just being honest with you. There

788
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: is no strategy to win an Afghanistan that has not

789
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: been tried five times before. Under preview is leadership in country,

790
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: There just isn't. So what are we doing exactly? What

791
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 1: what's the purpose of of this continued mission in that country?

792
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: And I think people would start to I've heard this all.

793
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: I've heard this now for almost a decade since the

794
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: Obama administration did its first Afghanistan interview. I know I'm

795
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: getting down a rabbit hole here with Afghanistan. Maybe I'll

796
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: spend more time on that later in the week, but

797
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: it's time to go. It really is. I know people

798
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: are worried about what happened in the rock and the vacuum.

799
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: And at some point, though, we can't be we can't

800
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: be all that's left between complete chaos and collapse in

801
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: the country. And Uh, I think we've reached that point.

802
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: I think it's time for us to really think long

803
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: and hard about withdrawing any considerable US military combat presence

804
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: from Afghanistan. I think we're at seven or eight thousand

805
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: right now. So on on Iran, though, I think the

806
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: Trump administration is do I make a prediction today? Um,

807
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: I think you got a figure at this point they're

808
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: gonna de certify the deal, right otherwise, what's all this

809
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: noise about. And I'm just gonna say this now, so

810
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: I'm on the record with all of you listenings. I

811
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: try to keep it real, try to keep it one. Uh.

812
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: We've seen now on immigration on the dead on a

813
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: number of issues. On this omnibus bill, great stuff, great

814
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: talking from the administration, but the action is not exactly

815
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: followed the rhetoric. And on this Iran deal, you know,

816
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: we've got everyone saying it's the worst deal ever. Uh.

817
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: Trump saying it's the worst deal ever, should never been done.

818
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: That means he's got to de certify, right, I mean

819
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: that the time has come because you know, Pelosi thinks

820
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: she's gonna be Speaker of the House starting in the fall.

821
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna beet a whole different political world this time

822
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: next year, as we're talking whole different universe. So the

823
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: presidential or or the the political power the president has

824
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: a mass needs to be used, needs to be used now.

825
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: Condi Rice, by the way, way in on this one. Uh,

826
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, we don't hear that much from former Bush

827
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,439
Speaker 1: administration officials. Here's what she said about a play five.

828
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have signed this agreement to begin with. I've

829
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: said that before. I think it was a weak agreement,

830
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: particularly on verification. Uh. It allows Iran to break out

831
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: after a specific period of time. I probably would have

832
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: stayed in for alliance management reasons more than anything else.

833
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: But I don't think that it's the end of the

834
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: world if the administration leaves the agreement. Clearly right, trying

835
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: to the end of the world. You got a lot

836
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: of people out there saying the sky is falling on

837
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: this if if we were to have a change in

838
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: the policy here. But I just I just don't buy it.

839
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: I really don't I think that if we were to decertify,

840
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: Trump will be in a position kind of like what

841
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: he's in with Kim Jongo. Now, which is our right.

842
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: Let's really talk this through. Let's really negotiate this one.

843
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: What are the Iranian's gonna do? Send missiles to bad

844
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: actress throughout the Middle East? They already doing that back

845
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: up the Assad regime creates greater secturnal strife in Iraq,

846
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: be the the silent hand and the the arm behind

847
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: the who the militia and Yemen. I mean, you know,

848
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: they're already doing all that, folks, training, equipping, subsidizing, Hesbellah,

849
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: They're doing all that, and they're doing it in a

850
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: way that shows they do not have any regard for

851
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: what we think about what's going on in that neck

852
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: of the wood. So I think it's probably a good idea.

853
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 1: I think that this is it is. It is time. Um,

854
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: but we will have to We'll have to see. But yeah, no,

855
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: no war, no wrong. I'll tell you this. If I

856
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: had it, let's say it was five or ten years

857
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 1: down the line and I had well, now that wouldn't

858
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: be enough time. Oh gosh, I can think about this. Uh,

859
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 1: if I ever have to sit down with Buck Jr.

860
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: My as yet imaginary son, and he says, you know, Dad,

861
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: I want to sign up. I want to go fight

862
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: in Iran. I'm telling you right now, I'm telling him no,

863
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: no fighting, No unless Iran has attacked this or something.

864
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: But you're not going over there to try and topple

865
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: the top of the Mullas and rebuild that country. Because

866
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 1: my youth was changed and my life, the course of

867
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: my life was changed by trying to help deal with

868
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that we had, and

869
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: I would say none of this going over there and

870
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: trying to make a better country for people that aren't

871
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: making it for themselves, just not having not having our

872
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: young men and women from you know, Florida, Virginia, Maine, Kansas,

873
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 1: all the way out to California north and south down

874
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: and around. Nope, not doing it. So I do think

875
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 1: that there's a need to at least voice that concern

876
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: in the interim. Uh, if you want to give us

877
00:50:56,239 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 1: a ring eight four four eight to five eight four four, Buck,

878
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you about Roseanne on the flip side here,

879
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure yet. I'll sort of sort of do

880
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: a grab bag coming up here to but I do

881
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: want to know the third hour, we're gonna talk about

882
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: may Day, a deep dive into uh the history of

883
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: may Day and also how you still have why the

884
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: the left still plays this game of you know, maybe socialism,

885
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's kind of a good thing because they do

886
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: it um and and then I have an update for

887
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 1: you on the bro coll story. That actually was Brian

888
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: Williams home broke Call. That's broke call. There's Brian Williams

889
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: who's kind of up there, and there's home broke Call

890
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: who's down here. And then there's Adriana who's like over here,

891
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: very different sounds from the brock car and the Brian

892
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: Williams say, we can get we move all over the

893
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 1: place here, We'll be right back. I mentioned before that

894
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: there was an exchange between Mean Chris Cuomo CNNs bro

895
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 1: in Chief, Hey Chris Cuomo to bro uh and Prime

896
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: Minister net and Yahoo of Israel. Here's how it went played. Yes,

897
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: no question for you. Does Israel have nuclear capabilities and

898
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons? Yes or no. We've always said that we

899
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 1: won't be the first to introduce it, so we haven't

900
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,479
Speaker 1: introduced it. But that's not an answer to the question

901
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: do you have them or going to country? It's as

902
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: good and answers you're gonna get. But I'll tell you

903
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: one thing, Chris, and I think it's important. You know,

904
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: Iran signed MPT. Iran signed all sorts of commitments. Iran

905
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: said that they don't have this nuclear weapons program, and

906
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: Iran calls daily for the annihilation of my country. First

907
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: of all, Cuomo here, this is amazing. It is known

908
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: that Israeli policies they will not discuss the issue of

909
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: their nuclear program. They want to talk about it. So

910
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 1: what does he think he's gonna accomplished by doing that? Hey,

911
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: you got nukes or what? Hey, I want to know

912
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: you got like the missiles with the the go boom,

913
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: with the mushroom cloud or what. But he didn't get

914
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: an answer because of course he wasn't going to get

915
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: an answer because we already know where's Reel stands on that.

916
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: But I think the mentality forget about the stupidity of

917
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: the question for a moment. I mean, look, you can ask,

918
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: but we just know that the Prime Minister is not

919
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna answer. So this is like you know, asking any

920
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: number of questions where you're you're sure or not so so.

921
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 1: Israel is already the record saying they won't the government

922
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: will not discuss this. But yeah, ask anyway, just to

923
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: remind everybody that they won't discuss it. I mean, he's

924
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: allowed to do it. I just think it's pretty pointless.

925
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: But then there's also a mentality beneath the two, isn't

926
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: there Like, hey, like, well, Israel you got nukes, maybe

927
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: Ran should get nukes too. Seems to be to me,

928
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: at least what he's trying to get at there. Um.

929
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: And this is where you start to see some of

930
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: the ideological reasons behind the Iran deal and urging. They

931
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: meaning the left, the Democrats, and the so called progressive intelligentsia.

932
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: They think that really all nations are morally morally equivalent. Yeah,

933
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: we all have our good stuff and our bad stuff.

934
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: We're all basically pretty close to the same. Is this

935
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: a smart thing? No? Is it true? No? But they

936
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: kind of think this, and they are much closer to

937
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 1: thinking that there's a moral parity between Israel and Iran

938
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: than they're willing to admit publicly. The left in this

939
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: country thinks that Israel is. They will say things like

940
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: Israel's that apartheid state Israel should be. Uh, there's the

941
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: whole divestiture campaign to divest Israel of of you know,

942
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: trying to find waste wage economic warfare against the state

943
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 1: of Israel. So don't those are just the the symptoms

944
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 1: of the larger disease among on the American left side

945
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: of things, thinking that Israel's inn a press or state,

946
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 1: a vestige of colonialism. All of this is churning, believe,

947
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: beneath the surface. And so that's how you get to

948
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: a point where the Israeli uh nuclear program in the

949
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: eyes of some journalists, and a possible Irani nuclear program

950
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: or in any way, shape or form somewhat similar equivalent.

951
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: You know, maybe they should get nukes too. Is at

952
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: the end of the day that the real which I

953
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: would notice what some of you have been telling me,

954
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: You think that Obama wanted to make sure that it

955
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: was impossible to prevent Iran from getting news. Um, I

956
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: don't think that's I don't think that's the case, but

957
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm open to being persuaded that somewhere in his

958
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: head that might have been the thought process, because I

959
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: know it's true if some leftists, I know there's a

960
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: piece in the Council on Foreign Relations Foreign Affairs Journal. Now,

961
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,399
Speaker 1: I know I'm getting wonky here about exactly that, Yeah,

962
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: Iran should get nukes, and then there'd be strategic parody

963
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: with Israel. This is believed by many more people on

964
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: the left than you will hear about. And I think

965
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,479
Speaker 1: with Cuomo there you've got a little tap, a little

966
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: a little sense of a Ron's got nukes, Maybe Israel

967
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:08,280
Speaker 1: get nukes? Do The American left is defined by hypocrisy

968
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: as much as anything else these days. We know this,

969
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: you know this. And on the issue of school choice

970
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: and just our education system in general, it's hard to

971
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: look at these people and take them seriously anymore. You

972
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: have these mantras on the left about well, you need

973
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: more money for teachers. Teachers are our future. Yeah, yeah, teachers,

974
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: And what they really mean is that there needs to

975
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: be more tax dollars going to teachers, unions, UM and

976
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 1: the various bureaucrats who sit atop the educational system who

977
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: have great gigs by the way, because they're basically unfire able.

978
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,240
Speaker 1: They're paid way more than they would make for comparable

979
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: hours in the private sector. But it's always you know, oh,

980
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: don't you care about the children, Well, I care about

981
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:58,439
Speaker 1: the children, but not making administrators more money and giving

982
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 1: them bigger pensions than everything else. And we're just lied

983
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: to constantly about the education system. On top of that,

984
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,839
Speaker 1: we are lied to about what people really do when

985
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: it comes to their own children and the school system

986
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: and school choice. There have been some excellent examples of this,

987
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, really amazing stuff in recent years, and one

988
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: of them had to do with a plan in a

989
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: part of Brooklyn, New York. Now, for those who don't know,

990
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: Brooklyn maybe the most left wing, hipster part of any

991
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: city on the East Coast. I mean, you know, there's

992
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: a reason Hillary's campaign headquarters was in Brooklyn, right And

993
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: there is a part of Brooklyn called Dumbo, uh down

994
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: under Manhattan Bridge overpast. I believes what it stands for

995
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: because I'm a New Yorker, so I know these things,

996
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: although I'm a swamp dweller right now in d C.

997
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: And there are only two high schools there. One high

998
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: school was majority minority and I believe majority black, and

999
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: the other majority white. One high school had very high

1000
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: test scores, the other very low test scores. Well, if

1001
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: you're a leftist, if you're a Democrat, don't you think

1002
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: that the obvious answer them would be to do what

1003
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: Democrats say should happen all the time, which is, well,

1004
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: let's further integrate the schools. Let's let's push for diversity.

1005
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: They were screaming bloody murder in Dumbo. This is maybe

1006
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: two or three years ago. Over this, we have another

1007
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: incident of this, and this time it is in really

1008
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: the heart of the Democrat wealth and power structure in Manhattan,

1009
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: particularly with regard to the media, which is the Upper

1010
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: west Side, I mean the Upper east Side, which is

1011
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, look, I actually grew up on the Upper

1012
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,959
Speaker 1: east Side, so I not really well, but the Upper

1013
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: west Side is where you're gonna find the people who

1014
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: are UM running CNN, the people who are running ABC,

1015
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: the people who are making these decisions about what's going

1016
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: on the news and everything else. Uh, because the bureaus CNN,

1017
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: ABC are on the Upper west Side, are close to it,

1018
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: some of them are kind of in Midtown. You think though,

1019
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 1: that this absolutely blue is blue can get and very wealthy,

1020
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: very elite part of our largest city would be really

1021
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: open to the idea of increasing Yes, that's right, diversity

1022
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: in the school system. On the Upper West Side. You

1023
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: would think that, given how devoted they are to diversity

1024
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,919
Speaker 1: for everyone else and how much lip service they give

1025
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: to the need for diversity in schools, the need for

1026
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: diversity in hiring, that they would love the opportunity to

1027
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: lead from the front on this issue. But recently, uh,

1028
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: some audio made the rounds or video actually too, made

1029
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: the rounds of what it was like at a at

1030
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: a school board meeting when the topic of increasing diversity

1031
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: in some of these Upper West Side public schools came up.

1032
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Here's how some of the parents reacted. Play clip eighteeneral

1033
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: you were and you didn't get that what you needed?

1034
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Or like you're telling them school it's not going to educate.

1035
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: You can just say you've been educated. Sucks? Is that

1036
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: what the deal wants to say? Now, I'm sympathetic with

1037
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: this woman in a sense, right because, yeah, I think

1038
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: that people should have vouchers. I think there should be

1039
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: school choice. I think that there should be uh that

1040
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: you should have a much greater say than just you

1041
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: live in this district, this is what your zone for,

1042
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 1: this is where you're going. But I would I can't

1043
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: help but note that most if not all, of the

1044
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: parents that are at these teacher these not teacher conferences,

1045
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: but these school board meetings. Parent teacher conference is something else.

1046
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: Are Democrats just based on the party registration of the

1047
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: Upper West Side? Okay, it is. It is the stronghold

1048
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: of progressivism in Manhattan, in New York City, And yet

1049
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: here you are and there's by the way, that was

1050
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: just one bit of audio we played. There's tremendous pushback

1051
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: now and they're covering it in local news there, but

1052
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: they don't want to cover it too much because it

1053
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: shows the hypocrisy at work here. The same people who

1054
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: will vote for Democrats, who will say that the school

1055
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: system should just always be pushing for diversity. I mean,

1056
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: diversity is one of the primary talking points you will

1057
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: hear among progressives on any issue. But when it comes

1058
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: to their own kids, all of a sudden, when it

1059
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 1: comes to their own children, it's a little different. When

1060
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: it comes to how they feel about their own kids

1061
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: being in an environment with increased diversity, there is far

1062
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: less enthusiasm for this, all of a sudden. And I

1063
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: have to note that the one of the principles or

1064
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: chancellors or whatever is I think the superintendent it was

1065
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: he whatever. I think. He's a superintendent of this school system. See,

1066
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: there's it's tough to keep it straight. Principal, chancellor, superintendent,

1067
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, school board, advisor, etcetera. I mean, there's all

1068
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: these people that are getting paid by the taxpayer to

1069
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: shuffle a lot of paper out and say it's all

1070
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: about the kids. But here's his response to this room

1071
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: full of parents on the Upper West Side who are

1072
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: worried about diversity in there in the schools for their kids. Right,

1073
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: they're suggesting, and let's just be very clear about this,

1074
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: these parents who are so upset, are saying, WHOA hold on.

1075
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: If you make my school a greater proportion of or

1076
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 1: my kids school a greater proportion minority, the school is

1077
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: going to be worse academically. That is what those parents

1078
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: are saying. That is their fear. That is their statement.

1079
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm just pointing it out, but they're saying, whoa whoa

1080
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: more diversity meaning more non white students at the school

1081
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: in the Upper west Side means a worse academic environment.

1082
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: That is what they are claiming. Here is what the

1083
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: principle or whatever he has said to them. Nineteen. There

1084
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: are kids that are tremendously disadvantaged that I would love

1085
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: to be able to offer somebody mentioned five thousand dollars

1086
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: worth of tutoring for to raise their test course, and

1087
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: to compare these students and say, my whole already advantaged

1088
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: kids eats more advantage didn't to be kept away from

1089
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: those kids is tremendously offensive to me. Tremendously offensive, he says. I.

1090
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: I know what this principle, who I'm sure is a

1091
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: died in the wool deep blue progressive, I know what

1092
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: he's saying to these folks. He's saying, Hey, guys, come on,

1093
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 1: step up. You know, now is your chance to atone

1094
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: for your white privilege. You know, you're a bunch of

1095
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: Hillary voters, probably a bunch of Bernie voters. I'm sure

1096
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: they all loved Obama in that room, all voted for

1097
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: Obama two times. But now is your chance to really

1098
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: put your money where your mouth is. And their mouths

1099
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: are saying really, really astonishing things like, oh, I don't

1100
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: want diversity in my child's school. They say, we've got

1101
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: enough diversity. Maybe a little less diversity would be good.

1102
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: We'll hold on a second, folks. I thought diversity was

1103
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: always a good thing. According to Democrats. I thought that

1104
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: they love diversity. They wanted for you, They wanted for

1105
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: your children's schools. They want the Department of Education in Washington,

1106
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: d C. To be making policy that affects you wherever

1107
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: you are in the country. Now, if your child goes

1108
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: to public school and diversity is you know, the strength

1109
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: of the school system, they will tell you, Oh, but no,

1110
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: they they seem to have a problem with this. We've

1111
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: all been told so much about our white privilege and

1112
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: the need to check that privilege. But the parents in

1113
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: that room that they seem to want to hold on

1114
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: to that privilege, whatever it may be. They're they're not

1115
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: willing to give that up. And this is an experiment

1116
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: that I can tell you plays out time and again

1117
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: in so many ways across the country with Democrats who

1118
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: talk this big game about how they want diversity and

1119
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: they want uh, multiculturalism in the schools. You know, they

1120
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: want English as a second language, they want as many

1121
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, the more refugee and asylum claiming families

1122
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: and students into the country the better, just not in

1123
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: their neighborhood. I think we all see what's at work here.

1124
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 1: I think we see the hypocrisy, and we see what

1125
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: in if other people were doing this right, if you

1126
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 1: listen to this wherever you are, though I know a

1127
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: lot of live in cities that are very blue. But

1128
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: if you were saying this about diversity in the school

1129
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 1: these parents on the Upper West Side or in Dumbo,

1130
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: or I'm sure in l A or Chicago, you name it,

1131
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: they would say that when you were claiming was racist.

1132
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: But for them, it's just they don't want to cheat

1133
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: their children out of the best education possible. They're just

1134
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: doing the best for their kids. Oh, maybe other people

1135
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: take that approach to Maybe school choice would be better

1136
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: for everyone. Maybe empowering parents of any ethnic background, minority students,

1137
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: white students, anybody to make choices about where they go

1138
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: to school would be better for everyone. It would force

1139
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: the schools to be better. Maybe that's one solution. That's

1140
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: instead of sacrificing other people's kids for the diversity worship

1141
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: that has been that has become such a central feature

1142
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: of the Democrat party. That would require some honesty, right,

1143
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: That would require looking at the situation for what it is,

1144
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: not as Democrats wish it to be. But you gotta

1145
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling you go and check this out. Um, you

1146
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 1: had seventeen middle schools, uh that we're supposed to be

1147
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: reserving their seats for low scoring students. That's that's one

1148
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: way they're going to do this and uh to try

1149
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: to increase diversity. And the parents at these schools were

1150
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 1: freaking out and their Democrats no surprise. In a few minutes, team,

1151
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the background of May Day, which

1152
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: is a history that I like to tell here on

1153
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: the show. Take you back to the Haymarket massacre, the

1154
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: origins of the workers movement in Chicago, and I think

1155
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 1: you'll you'll enjoy some of that. Will do a bit

1156
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 1: of a deep dive into it. I just first wanted

1157
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: to note though, that while here May Day is kind

1158
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: of a wawaw situation, the news from the day shows

1159
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: you that overseas it is it is still very much

1160
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: a thing that gets the radical left out and mobilized.

1161
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: You had May Day protesters that we're marking International Workers Day, which,

1162
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: as we will discuss, is what it's called in the

1163
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: rest of the world. Um, it's and it's it is

1164
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: a socialist holiday. And you had marchers that were holding

1165
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: banners of of stalin. Now you know that there's there's

1166
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: a part of me that that initially sees this and says,

1167
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: perhaps this is just the result of tremendous ignorance, historical ignorance,

1168
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: not knowing, not understanding what Stalin really did. I would

1169
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: be willing to bet that none of these Brits. Oh

1170
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: and in Paris there were also riots today, so it's

1171
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 1: not just it's not just Britain. There are other countries too.

1172
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: There's all over the place. You had anarchists smashing windows,

1173
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 1: looting and rioting in Paris. So I don't think that

1174
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 1: that this is limited to any one place. It's all

1175
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: across Europe. But there's this historical ignorance that I would

1176
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 1: assume is the result of well, a lot of people

1177
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: holding up Stalin photos and banners who don't read much

1178
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: in the way of books, and haven't read very much,

1179
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: don't know things. Um and sure that's true. I doubt

1180
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 1: any of these people in London, in Paris, or any

1181
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: of the little kind of piddley, unimportant marches that have

1182
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 1: occurred in this country today as well. They haven't read

1183
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: The Great Terror by Robert conquests. They don't understand the

1184
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 1: full depth of Stalin's decool accusation policy, where there was

1185
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: the liquidation of farmers really as a class that occurred.

1186
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: The cool Locks were kind of the peasant farmers, how

1187
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: that was an official policy of the Soviet state, and

1188
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 1: the mass executions of of peasants that occurred during the

1189
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: Great Terror, and then the purges that occurred within the

1190
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Soviet regime and the military more specifically and then amounted

1191
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: to millions of people, millions and millions of people killed

1192
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 1: by Stalin Um. There's a part of me that would

1193
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: like to think that these imbeciles in London and Paris

1194
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 1: and elsewhere marching with Stalin banners with Soviet flags just

1195
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:03,679
Speaker 1: don't know this. But there are these radicals that you'll see,

1196
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna talk to you in a few minutes

1197
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: about the yes, the backstory, the history of May Day

1198
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: in this country. But also there's a New York Times

1199
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 1: piece on how Marx was right editorial piece. But there

1200
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: are PhD s, There are ostensibly really educated people out

1201
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 1: there who still cling to this and who must know

1202
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: the history, at least in broad strokes of what happened

1203
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union, what happened in China. Uh Mao's

1204
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 1: Great Leap Forward was one of the greatest man made disasters.

1205
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 1: In fact, some argue the greatest man made disaster by

1206
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: any one government to its own people in history. Uh

1207
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 1: sixty million dead, they asked him forty to sixty They

1208
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: can't really intract. But but that's like the number that

1209
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: died in all of World War two, and many of

1210
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: them died through starvation. And if you go back and

1211
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: read about the Great Leap Forward, under how there was

1212
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of a violence that occurred. Because when

1213
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 1: people are starving, they get desperate. And when the Party

1214
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 1: apparatus was dealing with millions of starving peasants in the

1215
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,600
Speaker 1: in the countryside, what they did to maintain order was

1216
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:18,280
Speaker 1: just the height of brutality and savagery. I have to

1217
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: think that these PhDs that are pro marks, that are

1218
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 1: pro communism know about this stuff. So then I guess

1219
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 1: the only way to explain their thinking is that they

1220
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: think that that cost was worth it, that at some

1221
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: point there will be a glorious and beautiful future for us.

1222
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:37,440
Speaker 1: All that will only come through I suppose, more bloodshed,

1223
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 1: more loss, more starvation, but at some point we will

1224
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: reach this worker's paradise that was promised by Lennon and

1225
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: Marx and others. This utopia, um the you know that

1226
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 1: the the proletariat's paradise will be awaiting or I don't know.

1227
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: It's a fundamentalism. Really, it is a a delusion that

1228
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: relies on all kinds of blindness, and the blindness of

1229
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 1: what's going on today too. I mean, Venezuela is a

1230
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: country that I think is such a clear marker of

1231
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: what happens when people take a redis a redistributionist view

1232
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:23,480
Speaker 1: and a status view. And remember, Venezuela had good intentions.

1233
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: It was a social justice warrior run country, and it

1234
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: was run right into the ground and now right into

1235
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: the sewer beneath it. It is in desperate circumstances. So

1236
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: we don't even have to look back into history. You

1237
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:38,599
Speaker 1: can just do a Google searcher. Look at the news today.

1238
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,919
Speaker 1: How is it possible that you have these idiots marching

1239
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 1: in praise of the Soviet Union and pray, and not

1240
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: not a handful, not a couple here, and there thousands

1241
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: of them breaking things. This radical left element that I

1242
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 1: would note also exists in this country. In Antifa, you

1243
01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: have the the great irony of antipas. Of course they

1244
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 1: use fascist tactics to oppose fascism, but um Marxism has

1245
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: killed so many people over the twentieth century, and we'll

1246
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 1: kill so many more of thee unless we actually stand

1247
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: up to this. I'm gonna tell you about the history

1248
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:17,799
Speaker 1: of May Day though when we come right back. Welcome

1249
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: to our three of the Buck Sexton Show. And I

1250
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: would say happy May Day to all of you. But

1251
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: once you know more of the back story of how

1252
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 1: we got may Day, how this became something of a holiday,

1253
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: you feel a little different about it. It is in

1254
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: fact a socialist tradition, socialist holiday. But before I get

1255
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: into that, some more necessary history of of this whole thing.

1256
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,440
Speaker 1: First of all, uh, may Day is also an international

1257
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: distress call, and I always know people say, well, does

1258
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 1: that have to do with May one? The answer is no.

1259
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 1: The call out so when someone's in a plane, may day,

1260
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: may Day that comes from the French vine a day

1261
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: which means come and help me. And as you know,

1262
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,160
Speaker 1: this is repeated three times if a plane is going

1263
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: down there's any any problems. Back in seven the International

1264
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Radio Telegraph Convention of Washington made may Day the official

1265
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:19,559
Speaker 1: voice distressed call So that's when things are really really bad.

1266
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 1: The most serious call out you can put out there

1267
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: is May Day may Day. But let's talk about Socialists

1268
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: Workers Day, the May Day that we're currently in. And

1269
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: before we even get into that, I want to give

1270
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,639
Speaker 1: you a little bit of a of an additional history

1271
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:41,640
Speaker 1: of how we got to the the one incident, the

1272
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 1: Haymarket affair, that led to the commemoration on May one

1273
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: of May Day. See it happened back in Chicago. It

1274
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:53,560
Speaker 1: all started in Chicago in the eighties. Chicago was a

1275
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 1: totally booming city, but you can go a bit before

1276
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:01,560
Speaker 1: that to get a sense of how quickly the workers

1277
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:05,680
Speaker 1: struggles of Chicago came to be based on the incredible

1278
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,759
Speaker 1: growth of the city of Chicago itself. The ways, Chicago

1279
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 1: is the French version of the Miami and Illinois tribes

1280
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: word Chicaqua, which means stinky onion, not to be confused

1281
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 1: with millie woke, which means the good land. So that's

1282
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 1: because of the plants along the Chicago River. So for

1283
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: some of you, Chicago really means uh, stinky town in

1284
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 1: the Native American tongue. Initially, but there were only some

1285
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: small settlements there. It was a military post called Fort Dearborn.

1286
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:42,640
Speaker 1: The Brits destroyed that one back in the War of

1287
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 1: eighteen twelve, but it was an eighteen thirty The Illinois

1288
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: legislature set up a town that by eighteen thirty three

1289
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 1: only had three fifty residents. And that's remember Chicago's now

1290
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 1: America's third largest city. But as it's true in real estate,

1291
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 1: only three things really matter. Location, location, location, Chicago was

1292
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 1: on a great piece of land, and so the boom

1293
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:09,639
Speaker 1: happened with incredible speed. There. They already had the lake

1294
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 1: traffic because of the opening of the canal in eighteen

1295
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:16,640
Speaker 1: forty eight. So the Great Lakes traffic that connected the

1296
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico with Chicago at

1297
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 1: the nexus meant that at a time before automobile travel,

1298
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 1: when things could really only go over river, at least

1299
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: in bulk, it was a phenomenal time to be in

1300
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: in that region of the country, in that particular portion

1301
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 1: of the country on the Chicago River. So in eighteen

1302
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 1: sixties he had a city of a hundred nine thousand.

1303
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,719
Speaker 1: By the n eighteen eighties it was at a million.

1304
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:48,719
Speaker 1: See what a ten x increase in about thirty years

1305
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: in the city of Chicago. Back in eighteen seventy one,

1306
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:54,719
Speaker 1: there's a huge fire. It burned actually from a Sunday

1307
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: until a Tuesday. This is bad when things were all

1308
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 1: made of wood, most not everything that is are mostly

1309
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,679
Speaker 1: made of wood. So you had a quarter of all

1310
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: the homes in Chicago burned down. And that's what allowed, though,

1311
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 1: for the city planning to occur, where you've got all

1312
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 1: these parks now along the Chicago Lakefront. But then the

1313
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 1: railroads came along, and that's when things got really really intense.

1314
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 1: The boom really hit hard in Chicago because Chicago was

1315
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: the hub of the railroad network that reached the Pacific

1316
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty nine. So you had all these raw

1317
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 1: materials from the newly open West that were being shipped

1318
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 1: to the East. And guess what, where you have raw

1319
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: materials and the transport of them, you have a need

1320
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:42,440
Speaker 1: for manufacturing, or rather you have an opening for manufacturing.

1321
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:44,840
Speaker 1: So you had all these factories that popped up in

1322
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:51,640
Speaker 1: Chicago with just vast amounts of new workers, and a

1323
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:55,720
Speaker 1: lot of these workers were in fact immigrants. So the

1324
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: immigrants to Chicago in the eighteen seventies eighteen eighties were

1325
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: first Germans actually, and then you had a lot of

1326
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:07,520
Speaker 1: Irish Catholics during the Potato famine, and then you had Scandinavians,

1327
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 1: and then you had Polish, Italians, Jews, and then it

1328
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: was after the First World War that you had the

1329
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 1: great migration of African Americans to Chicago. But this is

1330
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 1: why the city of Chicago became a major center of

1331
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: the labor movement. You had all these factories, and you

1332
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: had a lot of new immigrants showing up, and those

1333
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: immigrants came from countries where oh yes, indeed, you had

1334
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:39,680
Speaker 1: already had the spread of some Marxist socialist, redistributionist ideas,

1335
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: and they brought them. They brought those ideas with them. Now,

1336
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it wasn't a hard time to

1337
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:48,759
Speaker 1: be a worker in Chicago. Back in the eighteen eighties,

1338
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:52,599
Speaker 1: you had a sixty hour, six day a week work

1339
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: week was pretty standard. So there there was a labor

1340
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: and management conflict that was constantly flaring up. There. You

1341
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:05,640
Speaker 1: had firings and walkouts and workers would be blacklisted, and

1342
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: newspapers fake news no surprise here, played a big role

1343
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 1: in all these tensions. Most of the papers, though, because

1344
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 1: you know who's buying papers and who owns papers. We're

1345
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: always taking the side of the capitalists. And so you

1346
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: had radical leftists and this is a part of the

1347
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Chicago history. I think it's really interesting radical leftists that

1348
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: began producing their own publications. So they created these underground

1349
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 1: workers newspapers which really basically commy ish uh. And you

1350
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: had one in particularly our Bitter Zeitung, which was edited

1351
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 1: by August Species. Looks like spies, but I think it's species,

1352
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: although I don't know where they would write about this

1353
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:53,599
Speaker 1: workers struggle. And remember we think of the major threats

1354
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: now against us, well, we are in an era of

1355
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 1: concern over ge hottest terrorsm and infiltration. But back in

1356
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:06,680
Speaker 1: the eighties eighteen nineties, it was actually anarchists who were

1357
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 1: very closely ideologically tied to radical socialists that were the

1358
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 1: big bad guys on the block. Remember nineteen o one,

1359
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 1: you had the assassination of William McKinley that occurred on

1360
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:23,640
Speaker 1: September six, nineteen o one by Leon Chaw Goosh. And

1361
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, Theodore Roosevelt went and said that after the assassination,

1362
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 1: he said the following, when compared with the suppression of anarchy,

1363
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: every question since sinks into insignificance. The anarchist is the

1364
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: enemy of humanity, the enemy of all mankind, and his

1365
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 1: is a deeper degree of criminality than any other. No

1366
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 1: immigrant is allowed to come to our shores if he

1367
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: has an anarchist and no paper published here or abroad

1368
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 1: should be permitted in circulation in this country if it

1369
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 1: propagates anarchist opinions. That was from the White House back

1370
01:20:56,200 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 1: in eight Teddy Roosevelt. So just remember the Some people say, oh,

1371
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, we can't have any we can't have any

1372
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: ideological tests, we can't have any test for immigration. Well,

1373
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 1: actually we've had numerous ideological tests stretching back to periods

1374
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 1: in our history when we really didn't want the infiltration

1375
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 1: of communists and socialists into this country because of the

1376
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: very real subversions they were engaged in. Uh And there

1377
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 1: was also a couple of very big anarchist bombings that

1378
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: came after that. Los Angeles Times was bombed in nineteen

1379
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: ten of that that killed twenty one newspaper employees. Although

1380
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: people weren't really at the time sure about it, um

1381
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 1: they were labor radicals, anarchists, socialists, wasn't really it wasn't

1382
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:49,479
Speaker 1: really clear who was behind that at the time. And

1383
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:51,760
Speaker 1: then in nine twenty you had that big bomb on

1384
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 1: Wall Street twelve o one pm on September six, a

1385
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: horse drawn carriage kind of the I E D or

1386
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 1: the v I E ED of its day, pulled up

1387
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: a five hundred pounds of dynamite cast iron weights. Those

1388
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 1: were used as a shrapnel, and it was an enormous

1389
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: I E D. And that was anarchists that killed thirty

1390
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:16,759
Speaker 1: people and then eight died of wounds thereafter, and damaged

1391
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: the stock exchange pretty badly. And that was carried out

1392
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 1: by a faction of Italian and anarchists called Galleanists. All

1393
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 1: about they were all about labor struggles and anti capitalist agitation.

1394
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 1: So the Convention of Labor, now why am I telling

1395
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:34,680
Speaker 1: you about us? Well, the Convention of Labor Movements in

1396
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:40,639
Speaker 1: eighty four decided that May one, six would be gay

1397
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: would be the beginning of the eight hour work day.

1398
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: They also prepared for a general strike, which happened in

1399
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:51,479
Speaker 1: cities across the country. And this is where then we

1400
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: will get into what happened in Chicago, and therefore more

1401
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 1: of the backstory of how we got to the celebration

1402
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 1: of May Day. That became a thing that's kind of faded,

1403
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: but people still talk about it now, certainly in socialist circles.

1404
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 1: I will give you that and uh and more, what

1405
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: was the violent incident commemorated on May one? And what

1406
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 1: what does it mean when we think about socialism today.

1407
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 1: We'll get to that coming up. All right, we're back

1408
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: with our discussion of the history of May Day. My

1409
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 1: friends and I wanted to just you know, I think

1410
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 1: it's important because you've got pieces getting published, for example,

1411
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:38,719
Speaker 1: in the New York Times. Here's one Happy Birthday, Karl Marks.

1412
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:43,560
Speaker 1: You were right, that was obviously meant to coincide with

1413
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 1: the May Day anniversary here. And while you and I

1414
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 1: are kind of like who cares about May Day, a

1415
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 1: lot of socialists and uh an anarchists and other folks

1416
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 1: who are of the of the far radical left think

1417
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 1: that May Day is still a pretty big deal. In fact,

1418
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: the Occupy All Street movement not long ago made sure

1419
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 1: that Maydea was something they commemorated with some big rallies

1420
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: in New York City, thousands, tens of thousands of people

1421
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,799
Speaker 1: at rallies across the country. I was at the covered

1422
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 1: them for the blaze at the time. So but back

1423
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 1: to the Haymarket affair and May Day and what happened there. Um,

1424
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 1: you had striking workers in Chicago that gathered near the

1425
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 1: McCormick harvesting machine plant where there were strikers and strike breakers,

1426
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: and there was a face off, and there were hundreds

1427
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 1: of police brought in and this then led to some

1428
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 1: some violence. The police open fire and killed two people.

1429
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 1: And the anarchists in Chicago back in the eighties figured

1430
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: that this was gonna be a good time to start

1431
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: making noise about how they need to fight back against

1432
01:24:54,439 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 1: these rapacious capitalists. So he had spies, Albert Albert Spies, however,

1433
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: writing the arbiter Zeitung, the radical left paper of Chicago,

1434
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: that blood has flowed. It had to be, and it

1435
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: was not in vain. Has order drilled and trained its bloodhounds.

1436
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 1: It was not for fun that the militia was practiced

1437
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:19,720
Speaker 1: in street fighting. The robbers, who know best of all

1438
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 1: what wretches they are, who pile up their money through

1439
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 1: the misery of the masses, who make a trade of

1440
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 1: the slow murder of the families of working men, are

1441
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: the last ones to stop short at the direct shooting

1442
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 1: down of working men end quote. So there you go. Oh,

1443
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: but he finishes this with but the working men are

1444
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:42,960
Speaker 1: not cheap and will reply to the white terror with

1445
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: the red terror. Huh. So things were getting a little intense, obviously,

1446
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 1: and then we get to the Haymarket affair, which actually

1447
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 1: happened on May four. But you had a group that gathered,

1448
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 1: uh and a series of speeches were given to them,

1449
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: and the police showed up. Remember this is all about striking,

1450
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: strike breaking workers movement, and the police ordered everyone at

1451
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: this rally to disperse. And this came after the previous

1452
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 1: violent incident I mentioned to you where you've already had

1453
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 1: some workers get killed in exchange with the cops and

1454
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 1: a bomb was thrown into the the path of these

1455
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 1: officers um so and people then later called this the

1456
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 1: Haymarket riot or the Haymarket massacre, and a dynamite bomb,

1457
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: dynamite bomb was thrown into that group. It killed uh seven,

1458
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,839
Speaker 1: and there was gunfire from the police in response. Scores

1459
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 1: of people were wounded and three workers were killed. And

1460
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 1: from that, obviously, and now now you get a lot

1461
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 1: of attention and people started referring to these protesters the

1462
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 1: left started ferning these protesters as Haymarket martyrs, and uh.

1463
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 1: They they were obviously very very upset about this. The

1464
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: eight anarchists eight anarchists were convicted of conspiracy and seven

1465
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: were sentenced to death. One was only sentenced to fifteen years.

1466
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 1: This is all about the Haymarket affair now, and nobody

1467
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:15,880
Speaker 1: knows really who threw the bomb. To this day, it

1468
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 1: is not really known who threw the bomb, but there

1469
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 1: are a lot of conspiracies about conspiracy, theories at least

1470
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: about whether there was any infiltration of the group, and

1471
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:29,680
Speaker 1: on all the rest of it. The governor ended up

1472
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 1: coming in and pardoning some of these. This was Governor

1473
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 1: John Peter Altgeld. He came in and pardoned some of them,

1474
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,599
Speaker 1: and uh. In eighty nine, a FL president Samuel Gompers

1475
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 1: wrote to the first Congress of the Second International. They

1476
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 1: were all having a meeting in Paris, and he said

1477
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 1: that the World Socialists planned to propose an international fight

1478
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 1: for universal eight hour day. And also, oh, by the way,

1479
01:27:56,840 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 1: the International then decided to adopt May first, eighteen nine

1480
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 1: as the date for the demonstration. So you had kind

1481
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:09,680
Speaker 1: of some back and forth over this. So you have

1482
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 1: the International Workers Day and Socialist Communists of the Second

1483
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:19,440
Speaker 1: Internationale to commemorate the Haymarket affair in Chicago, UH commemorated

1484
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 1: this as May Day. Um. So there you have it there,

1485
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 1: you there there, you have some of the uh, some

1486
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 1: of the back story here, and you had the americanization

1487
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 1: of it that has occurred to this point where they

1488
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 1: called it. They started calling it loyalty Day, right because

1489
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:43,240
Speaker 1: they realized and we shouldn't really have a commie holiday,

1490
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:45,679
Speaker 1: so they started calling it Loyalty Day for a while,

1491
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 1: but that didn't really stick. So May Day is not

1492
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 1: something that you and I can get all that excited about,

1493
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:54,680
Speaker 1: because it's really about international labor movements, socialism and Marxism,

1494
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 1: and the Haymarket affair in six is what got really

1495
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:02,120
Speaker 1: got it on the map, um, because the movement then

1496
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:05,680
Speaker 1: had their martyrs in a sense, right, the movement then

1497
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 1: became something that could point to bloodshed and say, see

1498
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 1: and now you know why we have a have have

1499
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 1: made day on the schedule, you know, on your calendar.

1500
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 1: But I just want to mention this New York Times

1501
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 1: piece on Karl Marks since it is May Day, since

1502
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 1: the international and all that is part of this history. Uh,

1503
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 1: this is how the piece ends the transition to a

1504
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:29,040
Speaker 1: new society. So this was just published New York Times,

1505
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:34,439
Speaker 1: I think yesterday the day before. The author, right, Jason Barker,

1506
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:39,639
Speaker 1: who's a professor of philosophy New Surprise Rights. The transition

1507
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:42,120
Speaker 1: to a new society where relations among people, rather than

1508
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 1: capital relations finally determines an individual's worth is arguably proving

1509
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:50,360
Speaker 1: to be quite a task. Marks, as I have said,

1510
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:52,880
Speaker 1: does not offer a one size fits all formula for

1511
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: enacting social change, but he does offer a powerful intellectual

1512
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,080
Speaker 1: acid test for that change. On that basis, we are

1513
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 1: destined to keep citing him and testing his ideas until

1514
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:06,639
Speaker 1: the kind of society that he struggled to bring about

1515
01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 1: and that increasing numbers of us now desire is finally realized. Um.

1516
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 1: You see among academics it's it's still that Marks is right.

1517
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 1: He just we just haven't gotten Marks right yet. A

1518
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:22,760
Speaker 1: pretty scary way for those who are supposed to be

1519
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 1: studying this and and have some knowledge, it's pretty frightening

1520
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:28,640
Speaker 1: and terrifying that this is where they are on it.

1521
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 1: But they will never learn on this one. Um. They

1522
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:34,240
Speaker 1: don't seem to understand that as much as it would

1523
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 1: be nice if we could all just share or have

1524
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:41,240
Speaker 1: the government share on our behalf. It goes against human

1525
01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:44,679
Speaker 1: nature that if you try to order a society absent

1526
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 1: self interest, which is what Marxism is based on. Right,

1527
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 1: If you're trying to order a society where your own

1528
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:55,760
Speaker 1: pursuit and destiny is not the central characteristic of how

1529
01:30:55,800 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 1: individuals interact with each other, you are you are going

1530
01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 1: to fail because that will overcome whatever system you put

1531
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:07,800
Speaker 1: in place. Whatever you know, revolutionary proletariat you think you're

1532
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:11,400
Speaker 1: going to have, or or profession revolutionaries in the case

1533
01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:14,080
Speaker 1: of communism, who will do things on behalf of the proletariat,

1534
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:16,840
Speaker 1: it is destined to failure. But even to this day,

1535
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:19,439
Speaker 1: a lot of people on the left in this country,

1536
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 1: I think that Mark's got it right. We just haven't

1537
01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:26,439
Speaker 1: figured out how to do Marxism right yet. So that's

1538
01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:28,760
Speaker 1: my May Day message for you, how crazy and wrong

1539
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 1: they all are. I'll be back with you in just

1540
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 1: a second. So I wanted to follow up with the

1541
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 1: latest alagons about Tom brocong Now I'm gonna make fun

1542
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:46,200
Speaker 1: of this guy. Um, I've never thought that Brokaw was impressive.

1543
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 1: I've never found him interesting and whenever I've heard him

1544
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:52,320
Speaker 1: on a panel or when he when he goes off

1545
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:56,800
Speaker 1: script to share his thoughts, it's just pabloments. Most contrary

1546
01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:01,640
Speaker 1: from on Bolger Shon to drag the bush snow journalism,

1547
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:07,719
Speaker 1: and uh sure with the American people, it's just not good.

1548
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:10,599
Speaker 1: Bro bro Call is just not impressive. He's a lucky,

1549
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 1: very lucky guy, and sometimes better to be lucky than

1550
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:16,400
Speaker 1: good a lot of industries. Um So I don't have

1551
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:18,240
Speaker 1: any reverence for him whatsoever. I know a lot of

1552
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:22,040
Speaker 1: other people in the news business do for whatever reason. Um,

1553
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:24,760
Speaker 1: I think that the news business has changed so much

1554
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 1: since people like Brokaw could make enormous salaries and were

1555
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 1: celebrated all over the world. Um that I don't even

1556
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:33,840
Speaker 1: think bro Call would would like get a job in

1557
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:36,280
Speaker 1: the BuzzFeed newsroom if he were on the scene today.

1558
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's just so different. You have to be

1559
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:41,840
Speaker 1: able to do so much more and anyway. But but

1560
01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 1: bro Call rong. Here's don some trouble. As you know,

1561
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 1: he's been accused of of assaulting two women. Now, whether

1562
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:56,440
Speaker 1: it was it sounds to me more like sexual harassment

1563
01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:00,240
Speaker 1: would be the claim. Although she said that try to

1564
01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:03,000
Speaker 1: kiss her and then try to use force. You know,

1565
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:06,280
Speaker 1: so we're getting into ah, is it just sexual harassment

1566
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:10,120
Speaker 1: or does it actually cross the boundaries into sexual assault? Um.

1567
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:12,599
Speaker 1: But what I think is interesting about this case, because

1568
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:14,519
Speaker 1: I initially came to it, as you know last week

1569
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 1: and want to follow up on it, was I said, well,

1570
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:20,759
Speaker 1: you know, what are we to do about an allegation

1571
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:24,439
Speaker 1: from the nineties that there's no proof about and cannot

1572
01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:27,600
Speaker 1: be proven one way or the other. And this is

1573
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 1: somebody who is a luminary on the left right, Broke

1574
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:33,439
Speaker 1: brow Call. I'm gonna stop now or stamp and bark

1575
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 1: it's not nice. But Broke Call is a guy who

1576
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, is celebrated by Democrats for a long time,

1577
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 1: was carrying water for the Democrat Party for a very

1578
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 1: long time. But they have this whole thing about women

1579
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:49,519
Speaker 1: are to be believed? So what do we make of this?

1580
01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 1: What are we to say about this? And it was

1581
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,879
Speaker 1: interesting that NBC, which remember is the Matt Lour network

1582
01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:01,800
Speaker 1: and also the let's not have the Weinstein story break

1583
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 1: on our network that Rodan Farrow was doing doing because

1584
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:08,919
Speaker 1: we have too many people that have connections to Weinstein.

1585
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:11,920
Speaker 1: And I guess at the senior level. Um, Now, you

1586
01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:17,400
Speaker 1: had a lot of people signed this letter defending Brokaw,

1587
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:21,600
Speaker 1: which I would note, I don't really know how you

1588
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:24,719
Speaker 1: can defend somebody about an allegation that you weren't present

1589
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,360
Speaker 1: for that you know nothing about. Well, what does that

1590
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:30,960
Speaker 1: even mean? Right to say that you're gonna you're gonna sign,

1591
01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:32,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna say that he was overall a great guy

1592
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:38,519
Speaker 1: other than this, Okay, that doesn't really matter though, it's

1593
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, this, this whole notion of all these people

1594
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:45,839
Speaker 1: rushing forward. And by the way, they're big names, Andrea Mitchell,

1595
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:52,560
Speaker 1: Meeka Brazinsky, Rachel Maddow, A lot of people signed. I

1596
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 1: think over a hundred people signed this letter that they

1597
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 1: were supporting bro call. So I guess women are not

1598
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 1: to be believe, even if it's a big Democrat target,

1599
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 1: that you can't proved anything wrong. Right at that point

1600
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:06,920
Speaker 1: they gotta draw the they're drawing the line there. I

1601
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:08,760
Speaker 1: think we all know that if this were somebody who

1602
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 1: was considered a conservative or unfriendly to the cause, there

1603
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 1: would not be this push to sign some letter that

1604
01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 1: would be intended to I suppose call his accuser a liar,

1605
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:21,800
Speaker 1: which is I don't know what what else do they

1606
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 1: think they're accomplishing by writing this letter. Um, they have

1607
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:28,400
Speaker 1: no knowledge whatsoever of this incident. Question. You have one

1608
01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: named woman, one woman who has not been named but

1609
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 1: has as an anonymous source that she was also assaulted

1610
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:37,559
Speaker 1: by Brokaw. I find it completely plausible that Tom broke All,

1611
01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:41,280
Speaker 1: who is a pompous wind bag, thought that it was

1612
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:44,759
Speaker 1: a little additional perk of his power and his job

1613
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 1: to be able to, you know, come on to females

1614
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:51,560
Speaker 1: in his business without any without any problem. Right, So

1615
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:54,680
Speaker 1: I'd say I find it plausible. I wasn't there. I

1616
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:57,280
Speaker 1: don't know, but I just find the hypocrisy from the

1617
01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 1: left here to be really illuminating. Uh And and I

1618
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 1: have to say that now the news that is being

1619
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,960
Speaker 1: reported on hereby our friend Emily's anati over in the

1620
01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:11,479
Speaker 1: Daily Wire that a lot of these women have now

1621
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:14,120
Speaker 1: come out. Women who signed this letter said they were

1622
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 1: pressed into service to defend Brokaw. Oh gosh, here we go.

1623
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:23,680
Speaker 1: We're pressed un to serve us. I mean that they

1624
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:26,800
Speaker 1: were told, or they they felt at least that they

1625
01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 1: had to sign this. If they didn't sign this letter,

1626
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,480
Speaker 1: they would be on the wrong side of NBC management.

1627
01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 1: So well, what does that tell you about the culture

1628
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 1: at NBC right now? By the way, just putting that

1629
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:43,360
Speaker 1: out there that for some people, they're gonna put out

1630
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:49,040
Speaker 1: this notion of a well, well, you're seeing this all

1631
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:51,559
Speaker 1: over the place. See with MSNBC enjoy read, you see

1632
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:54,760
Speaker 1: it with with NBC, Big NBC in the way it's

1633
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 1: responding to the allegations against Tom Brokaw. They're just some

1634
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:01,439
Speaker 1: people who were kind protected who get the benefit of

1635
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 1: the doubt. And there are other and they are on

1636
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:05,519
Speaker 1: the left and they're useful to the left, and then

1637
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:07,240
Speaker 1: there are other people who have to get fed to

1638
01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 1: the lions. Whether they're guilty or not, it doesn't even matter. Right,

1639
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 1: they're toasts, they're gone, they're out, they're fired. And uh,

1640
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 1: I just think it's so interesting that NBC is now

1641
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:22,960
Speaker 1: being accused of of pressuring women in designing a statement

1642
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:26,799
Speaker 1: meant to undermine a claim made by a woman pressured

1643
01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:30,439
Speaker 1: by the biggest name at NBC for decades. That's what's

1644
01:37:30,439 --> 01:37:34,240
Speaker 1: really going on here, isn't it? Roll Call up? Next

1645
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:41,760
Speaker 1: Day two of my Swamp visit extravaganza is underway here.

1646
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:45,880
Speaker 1: Team very much enjoying my time here, even though it's

1647
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:49,760
Speaker 1: a bit boggy. It's a bit of a of of

1648
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:53,639
Speaker 1: a dense fog around this city of all the self

1649
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:59,160
Speaker 1: congratulation and inside dealing and and all kinds of puffery

1650
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 1: and income poo bury. But I wanted to get into

1651
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:06,439
Speaker 1: our roll call here straight away. And by the way,

1652
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:09,200
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the wonderful

1653
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:11,599
Speaker 1: thing known as roll call, you just go to Facebook

1654
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 1: dot com slash buck Sexton and send us a message there.

1655
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:19,920
Speaker 1: Tomorrow I'll try to remind try to remind producer Mike

1656
01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 1: to send me the emails as well. I know, I

1657
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 1: feel like the emails don't get as much love as

1658
01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 1: the Facebook account does. But then again, Facebook these days

1659
01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 1: is making me sad with its nonsense, Like is this

1660
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 1: hate speech? On all these different posts that you can

1661
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:38,160
Speaker 1: put up there. My guess is that most people who

1662
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 1: would be writing hate speech would click no, is this

1663
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:45,840
Speaker 1: hate speech? But perhaps I'm perhaps I'm missing something. There's

1664
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 1: always that possibility, all right now, we have all kinds

1665
01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:52,519
Speaker 1: of wonderful messages here. We got Paul up here, rights

1666
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 1: Buck love your show. Don't let April go by without

1667
01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:00,920
Speaker 1: remembering the minute men at Lexington Green and conquered Bridge.

1668
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:04,679
Speaker 1: People talked about the Oklahoma City bombing and don't name

1669
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:08,040
Speaker 1: the bomber. Talk radio talked about him, but nobody talked

1670
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:11,960
Speaker 1: about our real memory of April the nineteen when the

1671
01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:16,800
Speaker 1: patriots that took the shot around the world was heard. Uh,

1672
01:39:17,479 --> 01:39:20,840
Speaker 1: thank you Paul from Michigan. All right, Paul, Well, I

1673
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 1: appreciate the feedback and the thoughts on things so great.

1674
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:29,759
Speaker 1: Oh look at this Kiara, who has a very intricate

1675
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,639
Speaker 1: spelling of her name, which is which is fun. Kiara

1676
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:37,800
Speaker 1: writes Buck, I just got this shirt from my best

1677
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:40,560
Speaker 1: friend for my birthday. I was so excited when I

1678
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: opened it that I jumped up and down. Go Team

1679
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 1: Buck love your show. She sent a purple Ladies Fit

1680
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:51,559
Speaker 1: Team Buck t shirt photo, which you can indeed get

1682
01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:58,280
Speaker 1: and Kiara, thank you so much for your support and

1683
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: I'm glad you enjoyed the tea shirt. They're very comfortable,

1684
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,280
Speaker 1: they're very well made. I will say I I wear

1685
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:06,760
Speaker 1: I wear them, ms Molly wears them. I tend not

1686
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:09,080
Speaker 1: to wear Team Buck t shirts out of the house

1687
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:11,920
Speaker 1: because I think that if you're if you're in the band,

1688
01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 1: you don't. There's there's a special rule. If you're in

1689
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 1: the band, you don't wear the T shirt of the band.

1690
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:20,479
Speaker 1: But you want everybody else who likes the band obviously

1691
01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 1: wearing the T shirt. Right. But if I if I

1692
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:25,479
Speaker 1: wear my own gear outside the house, I wear it

1693
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 1: around the house. I wear to work out into. But

1694
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 1: I think that people would maybe make fun of me

1695
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 1: a little bit for that. But the T shirts are great.

1696
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:34,880
Speaker 1: Please do check them out buck sexton dot com if

1697
01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:40,760
Speaker 1: you have any interest in seeing for yourself. Sean rights. Wait.

1698
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 1: Cultural appropriation is not okay, but gender appropriation is fine.

1699
01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm getting confused. Well, you're not the only one, my friend.

1700
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:52,599
Speaker 1: As I have said in the last twenty four hours

1701
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 1: on Twitter, cultural appropriation is an indefensively stupid concept that

1702
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:04,679
Speaker 1: cannot be defined, enforced, or understood. You can't get people

1703
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:07,080
Speaker 1: to explain to you what it is. You can't get

1704
01:41:07,120 --> 01:41:09,960
Speaker 1: people to offer up when it is appropriate and not

1705
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:14,240
Speaker 1: appropriate for someone to quote borrow part of a different culture.

1706
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:17,080
Speaker 1: And also, anyone who has even the faintest understanding of

1707
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:20,560
Speaker 1: what a culture is knows that there aren't clear boundaries.

1708
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 1: There aren't in fact, borders between cultures. All cultures tend

1709
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:27,720
Speaker 1: to spill over. I mean, think about this. If you

1710
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:31,519
Speaker 1: live in uh parts of let's say, Arizona or New

1711
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:38,639
Speaker 1: Mexico and you uh you you have uh you're you're

1712
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:43,640
Speaker 1: wearing a sombrero, for example, are you appropriating culture or

1713
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:45,519
Speaker 1: is that just something that people and you're part of

1714
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:50,320
Speaker 1: the world do. Right? If you are wearing any number

1715
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 1: of different garments from around the world outside the boundaries

1716
01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:56,839
Speaker 1: of whatever the specific country is, are you appropriating culture

1717
01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: or is that just something that you guys have adopted

1718
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:02,519
Speaker 1: over time? Right? You know, you think about this. There's

1719
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:07,960
Speaker 1: appropriation of weapons, there's appropriation of food of and that's

1720
01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:10,680
Speaker 1: another thing. Am I not allowed to eat Indian food now?

1721
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:13,879
Speaker 1: Or Vietnamese food or these are some of my favorites.

1722
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't need a lot of Chinese food. But that's

1723
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:19,719
Speaker 1: beside the point. Is that now appropriation that I'm supposed

1724
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:22,360
Speaker 1: to feel bad about? Who do I ask for permission

1725
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:25,000
Speaker 1: to be able to eat ethnic food now? As a

1726
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,880
Speaker 1: white guy? Oh? I guess it's okay because I'm paying

1727
01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:30,200
Speaker 1: for it. So does that mean if I pay to

1728
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 1: rent a costume of another culture and wear it for

1729
01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:37,880
Speaker 1: whatever reason is that is that Okay, I also want

1730
01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:39,880
Speaker 1: to know who gets to wear three piece suits and

1731
01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:43,439
Speaker 1: a necktie and who doesn't comes from Western Europe, but

1732
01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 1: it's common around the entire world. So was someone now

1733
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:50,639
Speaker 1: going to tell me that any businessman from Shanghai who's

1734
01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:54,559
Speaker 1: wearing a several row suit, those you who are fancy

1735
01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:56,720
Speaker 1: and booge. You know, what I'm talking about? Is that

1736
01:42:56,800 --> 01:43:00,439
Speaker 1: cultural appropriation? I know, I'm running in circles. He and

1737
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 1: it almost feels incoherent. But that's the point. It isn't coherent.

1738
01:43:04,200 --> 01:43:06,639
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as cultural appropriation. No one really

1739
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:11,320
Speaker 1: knows what it is. It's just away, quite honestly, of

1740
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 1: finding and not Yet another means to criticize what is

1741
01:43:15,479 --> 01:43:17,680
Speaker 1: supposed to be the or what is alleged to be

1742
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 1: the dominant paradigm in this country, which is white males,

1743
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 1: and how and in this case white females too, and

1744
01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:30,720
Speaker 1: how they adopt other cultural traits or other treasures from

1745
01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:34,680
Speaker 1: other cultures without bending the knee and asking for permission

1746
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:38,519
Speaker 1: and or forgiveness. But it's complete and utter nonsense. It's

1747
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:44,240
Speaker 1: a nonsense concept. So next up here we have Stephen

1748
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 1: who sent a photo of a baby over hoshly goat.

1749
01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:51,479
Speaker 1: Very cute, Stephen. I'm assuming this is out a farm

1750
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:54,599
Speaker 1: where either you work or own the farm. The baby

1751
01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:59,679
Speaker 1: goat is adorable. Jeremy writes, hey, bok got a photo

1752
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 1: of our family corgy Walter when he was four weeks old. Jeremy's, uh,

1753
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 1: Corgy is adorable as well. And we're gonna have to

1754
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:09,759
Speaker 1: take some of these and put them on the Facebook

1755
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 1: page so people can can hear them. I'm sorry, I

1756
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:16,599
Speaker 1: can see them. Hearing the photos would not be all

1757
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 1: that much fun. And now we have a guy we

1758
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:25,920
Speaker 1: got William who writes, uh, this is the fastest egg

1759
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:32,320
Speaker 1: cracker from Nick's delhi uh seal beach and los alamitos. Okay, yeah,

1760
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 1: this guy's cracking eggs super fast. William is telling me here,

1761
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 1: go sit in the corner. I didn't say, William that

1762
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 1: I I cracked eggs faster than anybody else. I just

1763
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:43,479
Speaker 1: said that I can do it one handed now and

1764
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 1: not get shell in the omelets. So the joke's on you, sir,

1765
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:52,200
Speaker 1: or something like that. Just kidding William, thanks for writing,

1766
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:56,680
Speaker 1: uh randy rites. I've heard time and again that Obama

1767
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 1: wanted the Iran nuclear deal as a major foreign policy

1768
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 1: the legacy. What kind of legacy did he want? Was

1769
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:07,880
Speaker 1: he trying to outdo Neville Chamberlain's Well, Randy, the left

1770
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 1: sees this, you gotta you gotta remember. The left sees

1771
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 1: all Obama foreign policy maneuvers in the context of what

1772
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:19,080
Speaker 1: the George W. Bush foreign policy was before it, And

1773
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:21,720
Speaker 1: so they were always operating from a premise of not

1774
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:24,760
Speaker 1: Bush is a great thing, and so whatever you do

1775
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:28,480
Speaker 1: that is not Bush is in fact something to be celebrated.

1776
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:33,679
Speaker 1: And they would argue that by Obama not doing anything

1777
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:38,240
Speaker 1: in Syria, uh, that's a brilliant maneuver. Libya as a

1778
01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:41,200
Speaker 1: disaster of the Obama administration's making, but the media just

1779
01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:45,160
Speaker 1: kind of cast that aside. They don't really care. But

1780
01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 1: not Bush was the Obama foreign policy mantra. And also,

1781
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:52,840
Speaker 1: and this was literally the case, don't do stupid stuff,

1782
01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 1: except they didn't use the word stuff. Even Hillary Clinton

1783
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 1: herself said that that was not an organizing principle for

1784
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:03,120
Speaker 1: foreign Polessey, So what does that mean? Means the Obama

1785
01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:06,640
Speaker 1: team was not nearly as clever as they thought they

1786
01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:09,640
Speaker 1: were on the world stage. But Obama like to think

1787
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 1: of himself as creating peace in or the long term

1788
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:17,200
Speaker 1: prospect of peace in the Middle East via an Iran deal,

1789
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:19,680
Speaker 1: and that was what they were going for. It was

1790
01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 1: a failure, but that was the that was the plan.

1791
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:27,720
Speaker 1: Hank writes, Wow, he's got a lot of stuff here.

1792
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 1: My Peruvian long hair guinea pigs mom and baby. Mom's

1793
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:36,360
Speaker 1: head is to the left, and then another pick of

1794
01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:40,960
Speaker 1: my three week old Peruvian guinea pigs. Uh. Check out

1795
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:45,240
Speaker 1: my Facebook page Hank's Piggy's for Peruvian guinea pigs. These

1796
01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:48,120
Speaker 1: are some funky looking little dudes. I have never seen

1797
01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:53,280
Speaker 1: a Peruvian guinea pig before, so yeah, go check out

1798
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 1: its photos. It's kind of tough to tell what they

1799
01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:58,760
Speaker 1: are when you look at them and like, what is this.

1800
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 1: It's a little bit like if you took the Abominable

1801
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:05,360
Speaker 1: Snowman and shrunk it down so that it was able

1802
01:47:05,400 --> 01:47:06,840
Speaker 1: to fit in the palm of your hand. I think

1803
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good description. They're like this big furry ball. Um.

1804
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:16,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, thank you, Hank, Very very cool, very cute. Um.

1805
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:20,360
Speaker 1: Monica rights in with hey, Buck, you said, send small

1806
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 1: pet pictures. This is what a rabbit looks like in Japan.

1807
01:47:25,040 --> 01:47:30,960
Speaker 1: Husband of Monica delivers as always from Monica. Yeah, this

1808
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 1: is rabbits in Japan. Look quite different. Actually, looks more

1809
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:38,679
Speaker 1: like a cross between a hair and your traditional rabbit.

1810
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:41,800
Speaker 1: I guess not that I'm a rabbit expert, and you're

1811
01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:45,360
Speaker 1: probably like, bucket hair is a rabbit, schooner is a sailboat.

1812
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:47,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. These are things that you need to

1813
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:51,000
Speaker 1: I need to do some more research on. Roberto. Also

1814
01:47:51,120 --> 01:47:55,960
Speaker 1: in here with a photo of Sasha four months old.

1815
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 1: Looks like a Chihuahua, maybe a Chihuahua mix shields high.

1816
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:01,720
Speaker 1: Roberto writes, Sasha is very cute, all right, Team, I've

1817
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:03,720
