1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. President Trump's lawyer Michael 2 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: Cohen begins his testimony today on Capitol Hill. It was 3 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: behind closed doors, but already the speculation about what he's 4 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: gonna say about that Donald is flying fast and furious. 5 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: We'll get to that. But also coming up right now, 6 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: how does socialism come to America? Bernie Standers has a 7 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: plan and the Green New Deal is a big part 8 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: of it. We got that more coming up. This is 9 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is 10 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, America, 11 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: You're a great American. Again, the buck Sexton Show begins. 12 00:00:53,360 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: Remember that climate change is real, is an existential threat 13 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: to our country and the entire planet. The biggest threat 14 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: to our prosperity in this twenty first century is climate change. 15 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: And if we don't have the bravery and the courage 16 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: and the heart and the determination to take it on 17 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: as the most important challenge of our lifetime, then we 18 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: don't care about those children. Climate change is an existential 19 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: threat to us as human beings. The threat is real, 20 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: and it is existential, and we need to take action now. 21 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: And I'm quoting him now America, this is the president. 22 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: America will never be a socialist country. Will that hold 23 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: true if you're elected president? If I am elected president, 24 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: we will have a nation in which all people have 25 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: healthcare as a right, whether Trump likes it or not. 26 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: We are going to make public colleges and universities to 27 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: uition free. We are going to raise the minimum wage 28 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: through to our living wage of at least fifteen bucks 29 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: an hour. And whether Trump likes it or not, when 30 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: I talk about human rights, you know what that also means. 31 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: It means that our kids and grandchildren have the human 32 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: right to grow up in a planet that is healthy 33 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: and habitable. You know, Bernie is serious when he's yelling 34 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: loudly about free this and free that and free everything. 35 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: And welcome to the buck Sexton Show. He's a man 36 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: also from New York buck Sexton, although technically right now 37 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: he's in DC. Why is he lying? Must be? Must 38 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: be because he spends so much time with Trump. Hey, everybody, 39 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Though great to have 40 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: you here. That was intentional the top of the show there, well, 41 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: it always is intentional, but but there was a reason 42 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: why we wanted to play for you. All of the 43 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: hysteria around the Green New Deal and socialism and all 44 00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: this stuff. Okay, all of that, and then Bernie anders 45 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: not being willing or a better way to say this, 46 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: Buck speak of the English being unwilling to say that 47 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: this will not be a socialist country. The door was 48 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: wide open there, Burne. You know you had wolf Blitzer 49 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: reading off the Q card like someone who's still working 50 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: on his English. Wolf Blitzer wants to know if this will, 51 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: as Donald Trump says, never be a socialist country. Bernie says, 52 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things that sound pretty socialist. So 53 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: on the one hand, you have all this Green New 54 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: Deal lunacy, I mean, crazy talk, existential threat. Oh, let's 55 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: deployed twelve year olds may Mommy told me that unles, 56 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: unless we all take bicycles to work and the cowstop farting, 57 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: we're all gonna die. This is terrible, the telling children 58 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: this stuff. This is twelve year olds, ten year olds. 59 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: I should be thinking about Santa and you know whatever 60 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: games kids that are ten or twelve play. I have 61 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: no idea. I'm starting to turn into that uncle who 62 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: like doesn't never gets the kids the cool presence because 63 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: I just don't know what kids like, you know, whatever 64 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: kids do these days at ten, you know, play sports, 65 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: run outside, you know, go skin your knee, riding a bike, 66 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: you know that kind of stuff. There's a reason why 67 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: we're hearing about all this craziness about the Green New 68 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: Deal and how there needs to be this imminent action, 69 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: immediate severe action on climate change at the same time 70 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: when we're also being told more openly than ever that 71 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: the country needs to be a democratic socialist state, that 72 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: we need a democratic socialist in the White House. Let 73 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: me say this to you. Can you think of a 74 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: better way to get this country to fall into the 75 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: trap of socialism then through the environment and environmental extremism. 76 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: If you were trying to come up with a way 77 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: to make people think that the country is in desperate 78 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: need of a dramatic overhaul of the economy that will 79 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: put the government in charge of basically everything, could you 80 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: do better than to have the entirety of the left 81 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: wing news media apparatus, the Democratic Party, college campuses, Hollywood, 82 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: all of it mobilized behind this idea that we are 83 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: going to be extinct as a species, We are going 84 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: to cease to exist unless we put the government in 85 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: charge of everything everything. That's the beauty for the status 86 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: of climate change hysteria, climate change alarmism. What is not 87 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: in the purview of the government. What can the government? 88 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: The government can tell you what products you can use 89 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: in your business, in your home, what kind of energy 90 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: you can use, how much energy you can use. The 91 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: government can intervene in your day to day habits. The 92 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: government can decide what is too much for you to have. 93 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: Your carbon footprint is too large, your house is too big, 94 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: you have too many cars. Only one car for you, 95 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: Maybe a car that you have to share, maybe a 96 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: prius even sorry, I can't help it. Take digs at 97 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: the prious folks. Sometimes I know, great gas mileage. The 98 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: ugliest car I've ever seen in my life, but great 99 00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: gas mileage. This is a perfect You could not think 100 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: of a better plot, really for the left and these 101 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: statists to find a way to make the country not 102 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: just go toward democratic socialism, but put us on a 103 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: pathway to full on socialism where the government has control 104 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: of the means of production as well as the distribution, 105 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: and where there's nothing outside of the government's purview. And 106 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: keep in mind that even failure to follow through on 107 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: the promises that this new green socialist utopia that they're 108 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: telling us about, even when they can't accomplish the emissions 109 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: reductions that they say they will, and even when they 110 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: cannot create millions of green new jobs. I keep hearing this. 111 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: We had a billionaire left winger named Stier come into 112 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: the Hill today. I didn't get to interview him because 113 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: he only wanted to only wanted to talk to my 114 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: co host. But he's saying that unless you take dramatic 115 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: and you know, severe action on climate change, he could 116 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: never support you. Well, what better way could there be 117 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: than to put the government in charge of everything than 118 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: to say that we are going to be extinct unless 119 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: they are in control of all of these things that 120 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: the very very rich of course right now, who are Democrats, 121 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: will get an exemption from all this, the Tom Styars 122 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: of the world, because they're so necessary in their messaging. 123 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: You see, where is the co two in our economy? 124 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: What does what if we are really worried that the 125 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: world is going to end, if we're gonna make ten 126 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: and twelve year olds cry, little kids, grade school kids 127 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: cry as well as teach them to be rude to 128 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: sitting us senators, because we're so desperate to get this 129 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: messaging out there. Where does most of the co two 130 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: worried about come from. The two biggest areas are transportation 131 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: and the creation of energy. Well, if they can control 132 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: transportation and they can control the energy flow, they have 133 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: a stranglehold on the lifeblood of our economic activity. And 134 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: as they are unable to hit the marks that they 135 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: set for themselves, so they'll just say, well, we need 136 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: more control. They're never going to They're never going to 137 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: loosen their grip if they can get this. Bernie Sanders 138 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: and the rest of them are serious about this. Occasio Cortez. Yes, 139 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: she is an ignoramus, but we need to take her 140 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: seriously because the damage that she will do to this 141 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: country if her ideology continues to spread is serious. There 142 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: are many democra grants now they won't admit it because 143 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: it's not yet popular, who wish that we would be 144 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: a socialist country. They think we're very, very rich, so 145 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about being Venezuela. We're just 146 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: going to be a giant version of Denmark with a 147 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: lot less social cohesion, I might add, and a much 148 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: higher tolerance for corruption and government, government bureaucrats who are 149 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: lethargic at best. These Norwegian country, or rather these Scandinavian countries, 150 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: Norway as a country. These Scandinavian countries are known for 151 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: having more efficient government services than we do, on a 152 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: much smaller scale than we would have to have. And 153 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: they also have much more liberalized economies when it comes 154 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: to the corporate sphere than we do in many ways, 155 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: lower corporate tax burden, oh yes, it's true, much higher 156 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: individual tax burden, but that also is true across the 157 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: middle class. If if, in fact, the Democrats could get 158 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: a presidential candidate through who could make this who could 159 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: make this transformation complete. Remember, Obama promised to fundamentally transform 160 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: the country, and he took us quite a ways in 161 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: that direction. To speak of socialism in the Obama era, 162 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: to speak of Obama Care as merely a stepping stone 163 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: on the way to Medicare for Medicare for all, which 164 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: is really just single pair, that was wrong. It was 165 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: a lie. It was racist. Oh no, actually it was 166 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: all true. It wasn't racist at all, It was just reality. 167 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: Socialism was making its first run on this country under 168 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: the Obama era in a way that was open in 169 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: a way that we could see that was obvious. They 170 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: just weren't calling it that. Now they're calling it that 171 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: and the Green New Deal. The reason there's such an 172 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 1: emphasis on this, on a plan that is so full 173 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: of holes, that is so potous, guy and silly and 174 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: worthy of ridicule. The reason for this is because it 175 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: is the single best, fastest way now that they've already 176 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: gotten us rolling down the hill towards single payer, towards 177 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: socialized medicine. That's where we're heading because they're not going 178 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: to be able to give the healthcare for the Medicare 179 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: for all is not going to work. They don't have 180 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: the practitioners, they don't have the means of production, if 181 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: you will, in healthcare to fulfill the obligations that they 182 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: want to create for all Americans. They don't have it. 183 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,599 Speaker 1: So what will they then do, Well, now we're just 184 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: going to have to make them all employees of the state. 185 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: They will have to control the means of production of healthcare. 186 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: They'll have to control the hospitals, and then we will 187 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: be in socialized medicine. That is socialized medicine. But how 188 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: do you get the rest of the economy. You create 189 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: a false crisis. That's right, the false climate crisis that 190 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: you say is the single most important thing in the 191 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: world right now, and that's an exaggeration that has taken 192 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: them exactly at their word. The most important problem we 193 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: as human beings as a species face, and the only 194 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: way to tackle it is dramatic increases in government control 195 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: of the most central parts, most central components of the 196 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: rest of our modern economy, energy production and transportation. That's 197 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: where most of the CO two emissions comes from. They 198 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: want to be in charge of our healthcare. They want 199 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: to be in charge of energy production, and then the 200 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: energy used in their production, the manufacturing process. Of course, 201 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: they want to be in charge of the price of goods, 202 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: because a lot of fossil fuels that are used are 203 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: actually in products themselves. And then they want to tell 204 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: us how far we can drive, what we can do 205 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: in terms of transportation, where we can go, what the 206 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: price will be, what the taxes will be. This is 207 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: all about control and control on a pathway toward full 208 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: on socialism that they may never actually get. There is 209 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: not any comfort to us because this is where they 210 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: want to go, and even taking us halfway toward a 211 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: full on socialist state would be incredibly destructive and would 212 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: make us less free, and with that the rest of 213 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: the world would be less free. Because we are still, 214 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: despite all of our flaws and imperfections, the single greatest 215 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: testament ever created to human liberty this country. We've got 216 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: more on socialism Cohen's testimony, Venezuela, North Korea, Trump and Hannoia. 217 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: We got a jam packed show, which is why you 218 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: come here because you know we're going to cover all 219 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: the topics and then some, so stay with me. To you, 220 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: we need to have medicare for all. That's just the 221 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: bottom up. Who of us has not had that situation 222 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: where you got to wait for approval and the doctor says, well, 223 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if your insurance company is going to 224 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: cover this. Let's eliminate all of that. Let's move on. 225 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: We've got to critically re examine ICE and its role 226 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: and the way that it is being administered and the 227 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: work it is doing, and we need to probably think 228 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: about starting from scratch. Education is a fundamental right, and 229 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: we will guarantee that right with universal pre K and 230 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: debt free college. We have a history of racism in America, 231 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: so you are for some type. Yes I am, Yes, 232 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: I am. Now that's establishment favorite on the among the Democrats. 233 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris just citing one after another of these policies 234 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: that Bernie Sanders will be in favor of Medicare for all, 235 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: start from scratch with immigrations and customs enforcements, sociates, single payer, 236 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: open borders, universal pre k, and just paying for everyone school, 237 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: no college debt. Where is this stuff all gonna come 238 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: Where's the money going to come from for all of this? 239 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: Who's going to pay the people that are supposed to 240 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: be delivering these services? So I want to make it 241 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: very clear it's not just aoc Ocazio Cortez and Bernie Sanders. 242 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: This is now the Democrat Party mainstream. I know today 243 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: there was some talk about whether whether Joe Biden's going 244 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: to get in the race or not, as if we're 245 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: supposed to be excited about this. I mean, who cares? 246 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: But anyway, there's this talk about, oh, is Joe Biden, 247 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: you know, blue collar Joe, Is he gonna throw his 248 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: hat in the ring? And I just if I could say, 249 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: I don't think that Biden really knows how he's going 250 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: to play this, because if he tries to run among 251 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: the Democrats at the stage of the primary as a 252 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: kind of Hillary Clinton esque establishment, you know, corrupt, pay 253 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: to play corporatist, which is what Hillary was. He's not 254 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: going to make it through the primary. But is Joe 255 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: Biden going to sound authentic when he all of a 256 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: sudden is saying free college, you know, free healthcare, all 257 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: this stuff, rebuild ice from scratch. He can't compete with 258 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: the left wing loons here. I don't even think he 259 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: can pretend to be looney and left wing enough to 260 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: be in there to be in contention with some of them. 261 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: But this is now the mainstream. And that's why while 262 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: you and I sit here and say this Green New 263 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: Deal thing, you know, harkening back to FDR, that president 264 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: that we're all supposed to think is so great, even 265 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: though you know, the internment camps and the court packing threats, 266 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of stuff about FDR that somehow 267 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: gets left out of this. Oh that the new that 268 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: the programs you put in place didn't actually save us 269 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: from the Great Depression. That's a good place to start, 270 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: isn't it. But the notion of a Green New Deal 271 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: is not the fringe. This is sent for the Democratic 272 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: Party because the Democrats are not liberal, they are statists, 273 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: they are socialists. They are not the Blues, they are 274 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: the reds. And we are finally seeing this happen. Now. 275 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: Now we are at a tipping point. Let's speak truthfully 276 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: about it. Morning coffee is an American institution. I drink 277 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: it every day and that's why when it comes to 278 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: start in my day right full of freedom, promise and patriotism, 279 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: I reach for the most delicious, most American coffee on 280 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: the market, Black Rifle Coffee. This is how I get 281 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: my day started. I tell you it's delicious coffee, and 282 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: I'm somebody that really cares what is coffee tastes like. Also, 283 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: it's got quite a punch to it. But if you 284 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: want decaff, you can get decaf. Two try Black Rifle Coffee. 285 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: This will become your coffee of choice, just like it 286 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: is for me. I get it delivered every month. It's 287 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: roast to order, guaranteed fresh delivered to your door. And 288 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: while liberals threatened to further tax your hard earned money 289 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: with their socialist agenda, Black Rifle Coffee is fueling the 290 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: fight for freedom by upping their offer to twenty percent off. 291 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: It's a great deal. Take advantage by visiting Black Riflecoffee 292 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: dot com slash buck and receive twenty percent off your 293 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: entire order. That's Black Riflecoffee dot com slash buck for 294 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: twenty percent off Black Riflecoffee dot Com slash Buck. We're 295 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: at another inflection point where American justice is either going 296 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 1: to be indicated or desecrated, and Michael Kohn has answers 297 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: to some of the questions that the American people need 298 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: to know. I just think it's crazy that the first 299 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: witness that the Democrats call to testify before Congress is 300 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: a guy who's been convicted or pled guilty to lying 301 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: to Congress. I mean, it's just crazy. This is about 302 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: trying their best to discredit the President of the United States. 303 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: The Cohen situation unfolds before us right now. Michael Cohen, 304 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: President Trump's personal lawyer, is today he gave testimony about 305 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: well Russia stuff. I guess behind closed doors, and everyone goes, whoo, 306 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. Guess what he's already 307 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: had to tell Mueller whatever he knows about that, and 308 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: there was no collusion. He can't make anything up about 309 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: it because there's nothing to make up. It's a whole 310 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: lot of nothing. I think it's interesting how many people 311 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: on the left don't seem to care that what you 312 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: have here is a lawyer testifying against his clients for 313 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: his own purposes. No one seems to think that this 314 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: is particularly bothersome on the left. No, Democrats are just 315 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: just by the principle of this. And I know, oh, 316 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: buck well, don't be don't be naive. Democrats have no 317 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: principles when it comes to the stuff. I understand that, 318 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: but I have to note that there's something. Certainly, there's 319 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: a funky smell when you have somebody's former lawyer who 320 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: is testifying against him in this way. Okay, it's it's 321 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: certainly problematic, to say the least. Annie McCarthy, our buddy, 322 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: just making the rounds on TV because he's one of 323 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: the best analysts out there on this issue. He was saying, 324 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: by the way, Cohen, he's a big liar, as we 325 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: know Play fourteen. If the prosecutors had thought he was 326 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: a valuable, credible witness, they would have completed a cooperation 327 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: agreement with him. They would have gotten over whatever hump 328 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: there was in the negotiations and signed him up as 329 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: a full fledged cooperator. They declined to do that, and 330 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: I have to think they did that because they didn't 331 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: think he was a very useful or valuable witness. Why 332 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: would anyone think that at this point in time we 333 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: would get some kind of a bombshell revelation about Russia 334 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: collusion from Michael Cohen. We've been through so much of 335 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: this nonsense with the Muller pro Cohen has been hit 336 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: with all kinds of legal you know, legal attacks here. 337 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: I mean, as we know Cohen, it's in trouble for lying, 338 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: for not paying his taxes. He's facing I think five 339 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: years in prison. Southern Dishrict of New York went after him. 340 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: There was no Muller cooperation agreement because he's not a 341 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: cooperating witness for Muller, because he has nothing to offer Muller. 342 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: Because Russia collusion is not just a lie, it's a 343 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: stupid it's a stupid idea to begin with. Okay, it's 344 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: not it's not a good lie. It's not even a 345 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: plausible conspiracy. Of course, the Left doesn't care about any 346 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: of that. They just know that it's a way of 347 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: attacking this administration and doing everything possible to try and 348 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: tear Trunk down. What do they think they're really going 349 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: to find out here? Well, we have been told, and 350 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: the left awaits all of this with breathless anticipation. We 351 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: have been told that Michael Cohen may say that Trump 352 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: was shady in his business dealings, and that he said 353 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: things that would be considered racially insensitive or racist. We 354 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: know that Michael Cohen's a liar because he has said 355 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: he's a liar, and he has been prosecuted for lying 356 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: even under oath. We know that he has no ethics 357 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: because he's a lawyer who was taping his client. I mean, 358 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: this is like somebody who's a psychiatrist who would tape 359 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: the person that goes in to see them. I mean 360 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: it's such a violation, such an absolute disgrace, and yet 361 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen did that, and the Democrats want us to 362 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: believe that now he's going to come forward and just 363 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: share the whole truth and nothing but the truth, because 364 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: he believes so much in so much in this country, 365 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 1: in our institutions, They say, Michael Cohen, I see here, 366 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: according to CNN, apologized apologize, according to multiple sources, for 367 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: lying to Congress when he was talking to Congress. When 368 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: will the Democrats get it? This is not going to 369 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: be enough. They're not gonna win based on this. They're 370 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: not going to take Trump down because Michael Cohen says 371 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: nasty things about him, says that he's a bad guy, 372 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: a bad business Pardner, any of these things. It's not 373 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: going to get it done. I think that they've at 374 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: least some of them understand this. But what they also 375 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: understand is that they hate this president so much that 376 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: this is really just about scratching an itch for them. 377 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: This is about they have this desire to bring Trump 378 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: down in whatever way they can, however they can, and 379 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: even if it doesn't work for them the long run 380 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: in terms of the twenty twenty election, and I don't 381 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: think it will. I think it is more likely that 382 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: this anti Trump hysteria, as as it relates to Russia 383 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: and the investigations are going to start. People are tired 384 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: of this. I mean I'm tired of it. I wish 385 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: I want us to move past it, just because I 386 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: don't think it's a it's an interesting intellectual exercise anymore. 387 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that that even having this debate feels 388 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: like a worthy enterprise. The only reason I do it 389 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: here on the show is because we have to, because 390 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: they won't give up, they won't move past it. They 391 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: are still stuck on this. And that's what the next 392 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 1: few days are going to be about. Oh, they're going 393 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: to just be reporting with glee. They'll be unable to 394 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: disguise their glee. By and Cohen talk about the payments 395 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: to porn stars, the payments to these or ones a 396 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: porn star, one was a pin up model, different different things, 397 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,959 Speaker 1: but the payments to these women and Trump's business practices, 398 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: and what I think the American people are going to 399 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: come away with is why are we supposed to care 400 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: about this? Even even if some of it is true? 401 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: Does that mean that we want to put the Party 402 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 1: for the Party of Socialism in fantaside and open borders 403 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: in charge. Let's just say that Trump did some of 404 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: the shady business practices that Michael Cohen, as I'm sure, 405 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: are going to expand upon at length in this hearing 406 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: tomorrow when he's in open testimony. Would you want the 407 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: Party of Occasio Cortez to run the country? Would you 408 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: want the Democrats to be able to take more of 409 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: your money, be able to pursue more disastrous economic and 410 00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: immigration and healthcare policies to ally with the me in 411 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: outright delusions like the Green New Deal, the idea that 412 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 1: then that the world is going to be destroyed unless 413 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: we spend trillions and trillions of dollars on what is 414 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: nothing more than a religion for the left, that transgender 415 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: individuals who compete who are biological males against women have 416 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: no real advantage. I mean, they will just defy common sense, history, logic, 417 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: and rationality in so many ways. But oh oh, but 418 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: you know, we're sending a message because Trump was a 419 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: little bit too rough around the edges and some of 420 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: his business dealings, because Trump was perhaps in a look, 421 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: let's not imperfect husband. Sounds like I'm covering from the guy. 422 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: You know, the guy's been married three times, he's had 423 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: he's had some issues there. We already know this, we 424 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: elected him anyway. I'm not sitting around trying to pass 425 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: moral judgment on all politicians. I'm trying to push for 426 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: the best policies for the country. I think a lot 427 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: of people feel the same way about Trump. They see 428 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: what's happening in America right now, and they say, seems 429 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: like things are pretty good, certainly in the right direction. 430 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: Why we want to change this based on what Michael 431 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: Cohen says? The only thing that I can't give you 432 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: an answer to, although Matt Schlap told me today on 433 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: Rising that I forget the word he used, But you know, sketchy, 434 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: bad people. Trump sometimes he does not pick the best people. 435 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: He has picked some very bad, sketchy people and that's 436 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: just a fact. And unfortunately some of that's come back 437 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: to bite him. And that's gonna happen tomorrow with Michael Cohen. 438 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: But he'll move on. Trump will be fine, and the 439 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: media is just gonna get themselves all work up over nothing. 440 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: Why have you stopped short of falling Maduro with Venezuela 441 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: a dictator? Well, I think it's fair to say that 442 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: the last election was undemocratic, but there are still democratic 443 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: operations taking place in that country. The point is what 444 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: I am calling for right now is internationally supervised, free elections. 445 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: And I do find it interesting that Trump is very 446 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: concerned about what goes on in Venezuela. But what about 447 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,479 Speaker 1: the last election that took place in Saudi Arabia. Oh, 448 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: there wasn't any election in Saudi Arabia. Oh, women are 449 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: treated as third class citizens. So I find it interesting 450 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: that Trump is kind of selective as to where he 451 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: is concerned about democracy. My record is to be concerned 452 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: about democracy all over the world. So we've got to 453 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: do everything we can. But at the end of the 454 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: day is going to be the people of Venezuela who 455 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: determine the future of the country. I find it interesting 456 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: that Bernie likes Kami. You see this, you hear this, 457 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: We've played the audio for you. Bernie Sanders has a 458 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: soft spot for commies, for hardcore socialists. He really does. 459 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: He did with the Soviet Union while people were imprisoned, well, 460 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: while the Gulag system was, you know, in operation, while 461 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: you have people getting sent to Siberia and all this stuff. 462 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders talking about breadth Line, thought that bit the 463 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: BRIT's pretty chewy. It's not you know, it's not amazing, 464 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: but you put some salt on it taste okay. But 465 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: he won't call Maduro of Venezuela a dictator. Why he'll 466 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: call Trump. I'm sure if you ask him too, I 467 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: want to be dictator. I mean, he'll say all kinds 468 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: of horrible things about the current President of the United States. 469 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: But he won't say anything terrible about Maduro. He holds 470 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: back on that. I think we should ask the question, why, 471 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: what is it about Maduro that Bernie Sanders has a 472 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: certain fondness for? What is it about Maduro that holds 473 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders back? And I think we all know Bernie 474 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: Sanders has an affinity for not just democratic socialism, but 475 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: all out radical socialism and maybe even up to and 476 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: including communism. There's a record here, folks, there's a record. 477 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: They can say whatever they want now about how Bernie's 478 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: just this cuddly guy from Vermont and he loves Ben 479 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: and Jerry's ice cream, and he's all kooky and funny 480 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: and the crazy professor. Look at all this stuff. At 481 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: the end of the day, Bernie Sanders gets far more upset, 482 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: far more aggravated with President Trump than he ever has 483 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: or ever would, it seems, with Maduro. And let me 484 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: just say that this, oh, look at look at Saudi Arabia. Yeah, 485 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia is a despotism. That's true, no question about it. 486 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: We all know this. But if we're really going to 487 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: have this conversation, I mean, Saudi Arabia doesn't have people 488 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: who are starving to death. Saudi Arabia doesn't have an 489 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: inflation rate of a million percent. I mean, Venezuela has 490 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: been destroyed as a country, and it has been destroyed 491 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: by people who in their rhetoric, in their political approach, 492 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: mirror a lot of what the Democratic Party in this 493 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: country is trying to do and achieve. That's just what 494 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: is happening. So, you know, Bernie can find all these 495 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: different ways to try and deflect and talk about something 496 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: else and make it sound like, you know, Trump is 497 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: the bad guy here. But we know, we know that 498 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders thinks that Mduro's problem is just that, you know, 499 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: bad timing and he didn't do it right. Always the 500 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: same excuse with communism, he didn't do it right. I 501 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: think I've told you here on the show before that 502 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: one of the big problems that they had in Venezuela 503 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: was the seizure of companies, the seizure of private assets 504 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: by the government and price controls. The government, under the 505 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: auspices of trying to do things that would help the poor, 506 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: would help their version of the of the working class 507 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: in Venezuela, would go after what they considered to be 508 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: wealthy corporations what were called wealthy corporations at the time, 509 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: and it sounded okay, right, Oh, this this company that 510 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: makes you know that that makes refrigerators, or this company 511 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: that produces some kind of a food stuff. You know, 512 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: they're they're making too much money. Let's just give more 513 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: to the people. I don't think that Bernie Sanders has 514 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: any problem with that at all. In fact, I think 515 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: we know that he still thinks that that's a very important, 516 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: not just from the perspective of what works, but important 517 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: moral act. You know, he's gonna try to take from 518 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: companies in this country to pay for his ideas. Play 519 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: clip eight. Am I going to demand that the wealthy 520 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes? 521 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: Damn right? I will, all right, and let me give you. 522 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: You know, people say, where are you gonna get the money? 523 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: Where you're gonna get the money? Amazon, owned by the 524 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: wealthiest guy in the world, made five billion dollars last 525 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: gear and profits. Anyone here know how much they paid 526 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: in taxes. That's right, That's why we're gonna begin getting 527 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 1: the money. Noticetary says begin even though this class warfare 528 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: stuff and this is what they did in Venezuela. Chavez 529 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: would go on TV and say, these rich landowners, these 530 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: rich farmers, these rich manufacturers, we need to take their stuff. 531 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: At first it was we need them to charge less 532 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: for their stuff, and they couldn't make a profit. And 533 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: then when they couldn't create more stuff, Java is in 534 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: the Maduro said well, we'll just take the factory. Now, 535 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: we'll run it. It's ours. How far off is that 536 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: from what Bernie Sanders is saying here, But notice how 537 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: he says, that's where we'll start. As I have told you, 538 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: the money here is really with the middle class. It's 539 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: always with the people. The money in this country is 540 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: with everyday normal folks that are working jobs, that are 541 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: paying their mortgages, that are trying to feed their families. 542 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: That's because there's so many more of them, and they're 543 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: going to try to come up with all these different 544 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: ways to hide how they're taking money from those people. 545 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: But they are, at the end of the day, they 546 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,439 Speaker 1: are going to take money from those people, whether through 547 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: taxation or through rationing of government programs that they've been promised, 548 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: or you name it. There are all these different ways 549 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: that government can't make this stuff happen. There's no magic, 550 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: whether it's Maduro or Sanders, it's just not going to work. 551 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: But people want to believe it, and so they will. 552 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: Socialism is a very real threat now in this country, 553 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: just like it is a threat and it has now 554 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: destroyed Venezuela. We'll talk more about Venezuela and Maduro coming 555 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: up in the show later on. But I've got it. 556 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: I always say this to you, and maybe I'll just 557 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: I'll stop, you know what. Yeah, from now on, I'm 558 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: going to talk to you about about issues of life 559 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: and the pro life cause on the show and not 560 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: say I know that people sometimes it's a little too 561 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: intense for them. But the Democrats just took another swipe 562 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: at life yesterday, and I want to tell you what 563 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 1: they've done, and I am honestly angry, deeply angry about 564 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: what they've done. We'll be right back.

Does Facebook discriminate against conservatives? We know 585 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: the answer to this, but they always turn around and say, oh, 586 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: but it's just a mistake. Oh, it's not really happening 587 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: because of ideology. It's because of the algorithms and all 588 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,760 Speaker 1: the fancy engineering back end blah blah blah, all that stuff. 589 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 1: Can't be because of a bias against the ride, a 590 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: bias against conservatives as well. I want to bring on 591 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: somebody who can speak from some personal experience to this issue. 592 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: Our buddy Raheim Kasam of raheim kasam dot com, former 593 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: advisor to Nigel Faraj, author of No go Zones.

What walk us throw here? 598 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: How did you? How did Facebook come after? Rahim? Hey? 599 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: Buck Well, yeah, thanks for having me and letting me 600 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 1: talk about this. You know, this is something that I 601 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: think a lot of us on the plitic right of 602 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: experienced in recent months and years in fact now, is 603 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: that our opinions are often deleted or our cows throstled 604 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: shadow band, you know, all sorts of mechanisms and algorithms 605 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: and manual interventions that the big social media giants use 606 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: to make sure that conservative thought is suppressed and liberal 607 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: thought and cultural Marxist thought is sort of projected out 608 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: there more. And I woke up this morning to find 609 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: that I had been locked out of my Facebook page, 610 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: my Facebook account, which manages which administers one hundred and 611 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: sixty thousand fans of mine in my own page, And 612 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: of course for somebody like me who makes their living 613 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: by selling books and relying on the donations of ordinary people, 614 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: that's an incredibly scary thing to happen out of nowhere, 615 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: especially when as Facebook did, when they when they don't 616 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: tell you what you know, what you're supposed to have 617 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: done wrong, That's that's what they did to me, and 618 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: that's what they did to a handful of the clouds 619 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 1: this morning, just full on deletion and no explanation as 620 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 1: to why. So. So that was the stories that stood 621 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: this morning, luckily for me. But I have friends in 622 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: medium to high places such as yourself, um, and lots 623 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: of people sort of wrote to my rescue by tweeting 624 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: about it, sharing the story that I had been banned. 625 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: Lots of news outlets wrote about it this morning, and 626 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: even the president's son, Donald Trump Junior tweeted multiple times 627 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: about it. And it's a television it's about it today. 628 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: So it's all well and good for me being in 629 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: somewhat of an elite media bubble as we are, but 630 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,760 Speaker 1: for ordinary people. For ordinary conservatives out they're all across 631 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: the Western world who don't have the ability to call 632 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: in favors with people who aren't the subject of news articles. 633 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: When they get their account shut down, it can be 634 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: an incredibly desperate thing if that happens to them, because 635 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 1: people use these social media platforms not just to air 636 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,399 Speaker 1: their political opinions, but to keep in touch for their 637 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: friends and their family members and to share photos over 638 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: the course of decades, and all of that can go 639 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: in just a heartbeat. And so that's that's why I 640 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: think this is so important. It's all well and good 641 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: for people like me, Bud, but for all the new 642 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: people out there, especially people of a certain age, it 643 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: could really lead to some catastrophic things. How bad do 644 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: you think the problem is with Facebook specifically? I mean, 645 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: I I've wondered, is there one platform that is the 646 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: most anti conservative? What do you think? Well, it's interesting 647 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: they all seem to do it in slightly different ways, 648 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,760 Speaker 1: And I think they all do it in slightly different 649 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 1: ways because they then share information with each other on 650 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: what the best way to make their own internal liberal 651 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: biases work. Are you know? Google ranks pro abortion posts 652 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: higher in its search results, and it was found to 653 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: be lying about that in congressional testimony, not just a 654 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: couple of months ago. Facebook does mass deletions a lot quicker. 655 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 1: Twitter shadow bands, which it means which by which I 656 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: mean that they will allow you to post certain things, 657 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: but those things won't necessarily appear in other people's news speeds. 658 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: They just sort of go out into the ether and disappear, 659 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: even to the point where, yeah, it's happened to the 660 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: President of the United States in the last year. So 661 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: they all do it in slightly different way, So I 662 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't say that one is necessarily worse than the other. 663 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: I think they're They're all as nefarious as one another 664 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: in this regard. And the fact of the matter is 665 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:55,959 Speaker 1: that no political figure, sadly on the political right, who 666 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: is in a position to legislate on the matter or 667 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: undo the existing legislation that protects these companies, like the 668 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: provisions in the Communications Decency Act in the United States. 669 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: They're not acting on it. And while I'm delighted that 670 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior is so active about this, he's not 671 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: in a legislative position. And I just wonder what it's 672 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 1: going to take for conservative politicians to realize that they 673 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 1: cannot leave it too late for their own constituency, their 674 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: own voters, their own supporters, before they're just completely eradicated 675 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: of social media entirely. What do you think we should do? 676 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: What should be done? Well? So, there are several provisions 677 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: that exist at the moment that protect these firms that 678 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: protect them specially from being thought of as as publications, 679 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: from being thought of as publishers with editors. But they 680 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,319 Speaker 1: are publishers with editors because they decide what content goes up, 681 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: They decide what trends, they decide what goes into the 682 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,360 Speaker 1: algorithms that automate those decisions. So at the end of 683 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: the day, they are just like el is just like 684 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: the New York Times in that regard, and Twitter is 685 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: just like the Daily Caller in that regard. You know, 686 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: they still have people calling the shots on editorial decisions. Now, 687 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: the Communications Decency Act in the US actually protects social 688 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: media firms and says they cannot be thought of as publishers. 689 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: If they're not thought of as publishers, then they get 690 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: away with this because they can't be sued for doing 691 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: this stuff. They can't be sued for what goes on 692 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: the site and they can't be sued for actually banning 693 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 1: people like me. I would have no case in court 694 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: to make today about that if you remove those provisions 695 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 1: in the communications business yet, Remember I'm not asking for 696 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 1: more government interference and actually asking to have governmental interference 697 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: taken away from the industry as it stands right now. 698 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 1: And if you remove that, you bring ordinary people one 699 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,839 Speaker 1: step closer to holding social media giants to account. Right him, 700 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: becasalm everybody, right him. I've been telling folks that I'll 701 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 1: be at Seapack this Friday.

We're no 739 00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 1: longer dealing with a normal, traditional Democratic party. We're looking 740 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,880 Speaker 1: at a party that has been dragged so far to 741 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 1: the left it would have been unrecognizable to folks just 742 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 1: a few years ago. In nineteen ninety six, Senor Daniel 743 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: Patrick Monahan condemned partial birth abortion by comparing it to infanticide. 744 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: That was a distinguished mainstream Democratic senator from New York 745 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 1: about twenty years ago, and today today, nine Senate Democrats 746 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,439 Speaker 1: could not even vote to protect babies after they're born, 747 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: and the only explanations they could offer were bizarre euphemisms 748 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 1: and vague references to issues that have no bearing once 749 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: a child has already been born alive. Mitch McConnell speaking forcefully, 750 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 1: speaking truthfully about how far left and how completely even 751 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: more and outrageous the Democrat Party has become. You will 752 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 1: not hear this into you know, we'll not hear this 753 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 1: on most of the news networks out there. They will 754 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 1: not be spending time covering this in any detail. And CNN, MSNBC, 755 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,919 Speaker 1: The New York Times, it's treated as as a procedural, 756 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: unimportant vote. It is anything but that. This is a 757 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 1: day yesterday that should live in infamy for the Democrat 758 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: Party and it should also serve as a clarifying moment 759 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: for the rest of us as to what the other 760 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: side is willing to do, how disgusting and deprave they're 761 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 1: willing to be, and what it means to be on 762 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: the wrong side of an issue. And dare I say 763 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 1: the wrong side of history as the Democrats are here, 764 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 1: the wrong side of morality, the wrong side of God, 765 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,480 Speaker 1: if I may say so. Ben Saas's not one of 766 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,399 Speaker 1: my favorite senators, but that doesn't really matter. People who 767 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: do good things are doing good things. He has right 768 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 1: on many things. He is right on this issue. Nebraska 769 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 1: Senator sass A sponsor the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, 770 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 1: And this is a very straightforward bill. You'll notice that 771 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,839 Speaker 1: in many of the writeups of this, and I saw 772 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: this when had happened last night. In many of the 773 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 1: write ups, they don't link the text of the bill, 774 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 1: so they can give you whatever interpretation, whatever weasel words 775 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: and distraction terms that they want. They don't want you 776 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,880 Speaker 1: to read the text of the bill. Here's what the 777 00:49:54,880 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 1: bill says, give or take, a baby that survives an 778 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 1: abortion procedure must be given outside of the mother the 779 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: same care that any other baby would under the circumstances, 780 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 1: or else the doctor will be held criminally liable. Now 781 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 1: that could not be a more straightforward, more clear moral proposition. Essentially, 782 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 1: a baby is a baby. Babies deserve to be protected. 783 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:35,319 Speaker 1: Babies are precious. Babies are life, they are us, they 784 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 1: are future. There are children, and the law must protect life. Well, 785 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:50,640 Speaker 1: forty four Democrats in the Senate blocked this bill. They 786 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 1: blocked this bill because we now have this self imposed 787 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,440 Speaker 1: rule in the Senate that I completely disagree with. It 788 00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 1: is non constitutional. It is self imposed that to get 789 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 1: anything important done, you need sixty votes. That's not what 790 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 1: the constitution says, that's not what the Senate's supposed to be. 791 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: Fifty one. It's tough enough to get fifty one on 792 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 1: the same page. The number is not sixty, but now 793 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:18,800 Speaker 1: the Senate allows it to be sixty. And on this issue, 794 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: a grave injustice was done because there are forty four 795 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 1: Democrats who went against this. There were some Republicans. I 796 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 1: would note, I'm sorry. Democrats are rather who voted with 797 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 1: the Republicans, a handful of them because they come from 798 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 1: red states where they want to convince voters that their 799 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,840 Speaker 1: pro life even though really they are part of the 800 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 1: pro choice movement. Because Democrats are the party of abortion. 801 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 1: There's no way around this. There's no other way that 802 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,800 Speaker 1: we should try to discuss this. The Democratic Party is 803 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 1: the party of abortion. Senator Herono, who I say, and 804 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be funny, I do think, is 805 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 1: probably the dumbest person in Congress, certainly close to it. 806 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 1: But she occasionally says something truthful because she does not 807 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: have the guile, She does not have the intellectual complexity 808 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,680 Speaker 1: to come up with a lie on the spot. And 809 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:28,840 Speaker 1: she spoke about what the Democrats are favor of and 810 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,120 Speaker 1: what this bill would have done or would have prevented. 811 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 1: Playclip thirteen. Lets the Senate isn't debating this legislation today 812 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 1: because there is an epidemic of infasatide in this country. 813 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,399 Speaker 1: There is one. There is not one. There isn't one. 814 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:53,920 Speaker 1: Maybe that was Freudian, Maybe it wasn't. There is infantside 815 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 1: going on though in this country as on a massive scale. 816 00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,879 Speaker 1: It's just a question of how obvious is the infanticide. 817 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 1: But then we get into the lies, and this is 818 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 1: where you have Herrono try to give you one of 819 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,239 Speaker 1: the versions of the Democrat lies. I remember, it's a 820 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 1: very straightforward bill. A baby that survives an abortion procedure, 821 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 1: which this folks, I don't want to get into the details. 822 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: It's incredibly graphic, it's horrific, but this does happen. A 823 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,239 Speaker 1: baby that survives an abortion procedure must be cared for 824 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,239 Speaker 1: by the medical professional who's there. The mother's mother had 825 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,880 Speaker 1: no legal liability in this bill. It's just the medical 826 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:34,800 Speaker 1: providers and to the doctor has to keep the baby alive, 827 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 1: and that the right to an abortion is not the 828 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: right to a dead baby, even if the baby is 829 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:44,319 Speaker 1: outside of the mother's womb. That's what this clarifies as 830 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 1: a matter of law. Senator Harrono try to do the 831 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 1: usual Democratic deflection play Cliff twelve when you strip away 832 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,240 Speaker 1: the ultra conservative rhetoric, you're left with a very simple 833 00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:00,720 Speaker 1: argument from supporters of this legislation that the or judgment 834 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,920 Speaker 1: of right wing politicians in Washington, DC should supersede a 835 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 1: medical professionals judgment and a woman's decision. Conservative politicians should 836 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 1: not be telling doctors how they should care for their patients. Instead, 837 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 1: women in consultation with their families and doctors are in 838 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: the best position to determine their best course of care. 839 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 1: Doesn't speak to the bill at all, doesn't deal with 840 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 1: what's in the bill, just does the usual meandering women 841 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 1: and doctors in decision making. And I've got news for her. 842 00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:42,239 Speaker 1: It is illegal for doctors to kill their patients. And 843 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,360 Speaker 1: a baby outside the womb, that is breathing, that is 844 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: living on its own, is a human being. It is 845 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,800 Speaker 1: a patient. And that there could be anybody who argues 846 00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 1: otherwise from the Democrat Party just goes to show you 847 00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 1: how grotesque and immoral the Democrats have become. Herono is 848 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 1: part of this and people, if not in politics, in 849 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 1: the next life, I can assure you will be held 850 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:17,799 Speaker 1: accountable for this because this is an offense against the 851 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,320 Speaker 1: most basic human decency. I mean Harono is an imbecile, 852 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: but she's also a dangerous imbecile because she's running cover 853 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 1: for this barbarity. Senate Democrats couldn't even figure out what 854 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:39,560 Speaker 1: the proper lie was to tell about this bill. They 855 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,760 Speaker 1: can't be certain should they say that it's already illegal 856 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,839 Speaker 1: or that it shouldn't be illegal? Well, depending on who 857 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:50,319 Speaker 1: you listen to, depending on whose word you take, it's 858 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 1: one or the other. But shouldn't it be obvious? Shouldn't 859 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 1: it be obvious? The deceptive language that the media uses 860 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 1: by they talk about this is one of these instances 861 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 1: where you see how deep the bias goes. I mean 862 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 1: two of the areas where the media is the most 863 00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: insanely not just left wing, but but radicalized, I mean 864 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 1: radicalized even beyond what your average run of the mill 865 00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:23,120 Speaker 1: of Democrat is these days. Guns and abortion. Media is 866 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:30,879 Speaker 1: absolutely wacko about guns and abortion. They hate guns as 867 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 1: a class. The media people hate guns, and they are 868 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: in favor of abortion always in any context, in any case. 869 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 1: They don't care for any reason or no reason. This 870 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 1: is one of the most horrific things I've ever seen 871 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:51,240 Speaker 1: in politics. In many ways, it's the most clear, bright 872 00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,120 Speaker 1: red line, violation of morality I've ever seen from the 873 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,919 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. They have no leg to stand on here. 874 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,760 Speaker 1: There is no two there's no two sides to this argument. 875 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:05,800 Speaker 1: We are on the right side of this, my friends, 876 00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 1: Stand tall, keep your shield high, and keep fighting. This 877 00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:16,440 Speaker 1: isn't about the border. This is about the constitution of 878 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,360 Speaker 1: the United States. This is not about politics. It's not 879 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:25,200 Speaker 1: about partisanship. It's about patriotism. We would be delinquent in 880 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:29,919 Speaker 1: our duties if we did not resist within out, fight 881 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 1: back to overturn the president's declaration. Delinquent in her duty. 882 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 1: She says, what a joke, How ridiculous, How ridiculous these 883 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 1: Democrats are. Oh, they're going to pass a resolution against 884 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,960 Speaker 1: Trump in the wall. I mean, this is just so stupid. 885 00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 1: This is the definition the definitely of just Congress wasting 886 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,120 Speaker 1: everybody's time. I mean, look, it's politics, and I get that, 887 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 1: but who cares. Yeah, we already know that the House 888 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:15,920 Speaker 1: Democrats don't agree with the National Emergency Declaration. We already 889 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 1: know that the Left is a de facto open borders party. Now, 890 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 1: when you actually dig into this a little bit, though, 891 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 1: what you see is they're not going to get through this. 892 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 1: I mean that the president's going to veto it. They're 893 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,160 Speaker 1: not going to be able to make this resolution happen 894 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 1: or get signed by the president. So what is this 895 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 1: really all about. It's about Democrats pretending to care all 896 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:48,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden about executive power. Nancy Pelosi said earlier today, 897 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 1: our founders had a great vision. They did not want 898 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 1: a king. This is wrong. We cannot let this proceed now. 899 00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 1: I would be much more minded to hearing their constitutional 900 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,720 Speaker 1: concerns if we had not just seen for eight years 901 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 1: of the Obama administration far more sweeping use of executive 902 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,600 Speaker 1: authority than anything we've seen in the Trump administration. In fact, 903 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,800 Speaker 1: we are all supposed to accept, for some reason that 904 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:23,240 Speaker 1: what Obama had the discretion to do, for some as 905 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,520 Speaker 1: of yet unknown reason, Trump does not have the discretion 906 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:32,440 Speaker 1: to undo. So Obama. According to some federal courts right 907 00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 1: now full of activists, left wing judges, Obama had more 908 00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 1: power as present than Trump does because they liked Obama, 909 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,479 Speaker 1: because they agree with DOCA. I mean, DACA is as 910 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 1: flagrantly unconstitutional and as much an abusive executive authority as 911 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,960 Speaker 1: anything that you could think of in the last decade, 912 00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:58,520 Speaker 1: Probably the single most obvious one. At least Congress would 913 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 1: not do what Obama wanted, so he said, I'm just 914 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 1: going to do it in contravention of existing federal law 915 01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,919 Speaker 1: and the stated will of the Congress. In fact, there 916 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 1: was a time when the press, because they're a bunch 917 01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 1: of disgusting toadies and they were for they were for 918 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,560 Speaker 1: Obama and they still are for the Democratic Party, they 919 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 1: were writing things that were undermining the very system of 920 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,200 Speaker 1: checks and balances we have because it was stopping Obama 921 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,400 Speaker 1: from doing exactly what he wanted to do. And they 922 01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,920 Speaker 1: just can't accept that. They're not okay with that. You know, 923 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 1: they were saying that maybe we should maybe we shouldn't 924 01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,960 Speaker 1: allow the Congress to be intransigent. Remember how much you 925 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,919 Speaker 1: heard about being obstructionist under the Obama years. We would 926 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,480 Speaker 1: always here all obstruction. Obstruction was just a fancy way 927 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:52,520 Speaker 1: of saying Republicans won't do what Obama is telling them 928 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:57,120 Speaker 1: to do because they're Republicans and they got elected because 929 01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,720 Speaker 1: they said they would oppose Obama. But that was called 930 01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:04,840 Speaker 1: the instruction and obstructionism, and that was unacceptable. You see. Meanwhile, 931 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,720 Speaker 1: when the Democrats now stand in the way of Trump's 932 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 1: agenda at every turn that's considered checks and balances. See, 933 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 1: this is the game at the media place, this is 934 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 1: the game at the left is into and I just 935 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 1: wish that they would establish some degree of honesty and consistency, 936 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:24,800 Speaker 1: because then I could take them seriously when they talk 937 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,960 Speaker 1: about the Constitution. But when Democrats like Nancy Pelosi talk 938 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 1: about the Constitution, it's a little bit like when most 939 01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 1: Democrats on the left start to talk about the Bible. 940 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 1: You know, they sound like they're coming across it in 941 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 1: the teleprompter for the first time. You know, Yeah, it's 942 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:46,200 Speaker 1: like my favorite book in the New Testament job you 943 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 1: know that one, or maybe it was the Old Testament, 944 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 1: who knows. It's like when they talk about guns. Do 945 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats they talk about guns, you know, 946 01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 1: they just want to I just want to ban the 947 01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:01,320 Speaker 1: like Buzuka chain machine gun thingy because it's bad and 948 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,720 Speaker 1: it hurts people sit around. I say, maybe if they 949 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,560 Speaker 1: were so upset about what guns do and about, and 950 01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,840 Speaker 1: they had so many problems that they thought could be 951 01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,880 Speaker 1: solved with gun control, they would at least learn something 952 01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 1: about guns. But I digress. On this issue of the 953 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 1: wall and the national emergency that Democrats are pretending this 954 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 1: is not an emergency. I really hope comes back to 955 01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,520 Speaker 1: bite them in twenty twenty. And here's how I think 956 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 1: it might happen. Right now, they think this is good politics, 957 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:35,920 Speaker 1: gets their base of crazy people energized, all these left wing, 958 01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, angry hippie types who are all for the 959 01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,240 Speaker 1: Green New Deal and all this stuff. They get excited 960 01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 1: about this. But here's what's going to happen. Congress is 961 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:50,640 Speaker 1: not going to take any action on asylum. Congress is 962 01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:52,520 Speaker 1: not going to do anything to deal with the fact 963 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:57,920 Speaker 1: that we have now a border that has incredibly large loopholes, 964 01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:03,120 Speaker 1: that has all kinds of ways that people can abuse, 965 01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 1: can abuse to get in. So what's gonna happen is 966 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a year where at the end of 967 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 1: the year, going to the twenty twenty elections, there will 968 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 1: be would I would bet five hundred thousand people who 969 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:23,640 Speaker 1: have crossed into the country illegally or in an asylum 970 01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:29,200 Speaker 1: requests request gambit that is all but certain to be 971 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,760 Speaker 1: fraudulent and fake. So you'll have a half a million 972 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,520 Speaker 1: people who will have crossed, which is starting to get 973 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,160 Speaker 1: back to the numbers of the worst days ever at 974 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,480 Speaker 1: the border. And here's what they won't tell you, but 975 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 1: I will. The crisis now is worse than it was 976 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,480 Speaker 1: in the early two thousands when they got up to 977 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:50,520 Speaker 1: a million a year, because the rate of removal of 978 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 1: those million was very was very high compared to what 979 01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,560 Speaker 1: it is now. A lot of people who were crossing 980 01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,360 Speaker 1: illegally are being caught and immediately deported during the worst 981 01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:03,760 Speaker 1: times of a crossing at the southern border. Now the 982 01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 1: number who are being quickly processed and turned around for 983 01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 1: deportation is a much lower percentage. So whereas you had 984 01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,080 Speaker 1: maybe a million people a year coming into the country then, 985 01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,040 Speaker 1: but you had hundreds of thousands of them immediately deported 986 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,360 Speaker 1: now because of changes in the law, because of changes 987 01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,680 Speaker 1: in the interpretation of the law by judges, and because 988 01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 1: of the abuse of the asylum process and the fact 989 01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:34,600 Speaker 1: that the courts are so incredibly backlogged. You know, with 990 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 1: all of that going on, you have a very small 991 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:41,960 Speaker 1: percentage of these people who are going to be deported, 992 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,080 Speaker 1: which means that the problem, the crisis at the border 993 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:51,000 Speaker 1: is actually much much worse because now the illegal crossings 994 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:55,080 Speaker 1: are going to result in permanent illegal aliens in this country. 995 01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:58,840 Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere. So not only is there a 996 01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 1: crisis at the border, based on the numbers we're already seeing, 997 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,040 Speaker 1: by the end of the year, the numbers are going 998 01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 1: to show that this is as bad as it's ever 999 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,680 Speaker 1: been from an overall or at least close to what 1000 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:14,600 Speaker 1: it's been from an overall crossing number. But the number 1001 01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,480 Speaker 1: or the percentage and number of those who have crossed 1002 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 1: into the country and have been deported is going to 1003 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:22,960 Speaker 1: be so low that we're going to see as we 1004 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 1: have a near open border situation that our southern border 1005 01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,960 Speaker 1: that anybody who shows up and says they want to 1006 01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,080 Speaker 1: be in this country and tells a tale and has 1007 01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 1: a story is going to be able to stay. And 1008 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,880 Speaker 1: that is absolutely a crisis. If you believe in sovereignty, 1009 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,080 Speaker 1: if you believe in rule of law, what is happening 1010 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 1: the borders a crisis. And so for the Democrats to 1011 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:44,920 Speaker 1: have gone to all these lengths right now to say 1012 01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 1: there is no crisis, I hope I hope that fifty 1013 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 1: one percent or more of the American voting public is 1014 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 1: paying attention and realizes that Democrats are a bunch of 1015 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:59,520 Speaker 1: liars on this issue. They are liars. It is absolutely 1016 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,320 Speaker 1: when the press its authority to declare this emergency, it 1017 01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 1: is an emergency, and building a wall in areas that 1018 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:11,000 Speaker 1: are particularly susceptible to illegal crossing would help this crisis. 1019 01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:20,520 Speaker 1: Effective today, the United States will impose additional sanctions on 1020 01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 1: regime officials. These men work to block aid for people 1021 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 1: in need and suppress peaceful protests while they're tyrant danced 1022 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:40,200 Speaker 1: in Caracas. Their actions will not go unpunished. More sanctions 1023 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,360 Speaker 1: from the US against Venezuela, trying to get rid of 1024 01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:53,080 Speaker 1: this absolute tyrannical jerk Maduro who is just continuing on 1025 01:06:53,200 --> 01:07:00,680 Speaker 1: with the stupid policies of his predecessor Chavez. And there's 1026 01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 1: obviously so much we could sit here and talk about 1027 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:07,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to what a failed state and a 1028 01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:11,400 Speaker 1: catastrophe Venezuela has become. And I think it's it's important 1029 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,880 Speaker 1: it did not have to be this way. It did 1030 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:19,280 Speaker 1: not have to come apart like this. Venezuela did not 1031 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:26,640 Speaker 1: suffer from some horrible, unforeseeable financial calamity. Venezuela is not 1032 01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:30,000 Speaker 1: trying to recover from some terrible civil war or something 1033 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:35,240 Speaker 1: that the problem of Venezuela is people got into power 1034 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 1: who believe in Marxist doctrine and the redistribution of wealth, 1035 01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:48,320 Speaker 1: who embrace class warfare and anti Americanism as an explanation 1036 01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:53,280 Speaker 1: for the shortcomings of their country and their countrymen. And 1037 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,000 Speaker 1: this is the end result of all of that, all right, 1038 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,240 Speaker 1: This is the end result. And I do think that 1039 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:03,080 Speaker 1: we need to strike a careful balance between trying to 1040 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,840 Speaker 1: push for the ouster of or help you see this thing, 1041 01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:08,360 Speaker 1: even when you start to say it, I know, I'm 1042 01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,479 Speaker 1: the x CIA guy. So I start talking about coup 1043 01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:12,680 Speaker 1: and everyone goes, ooh, coup, and I'm like, look, guys, 1044 01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm out of that game. I don't know anything. I 1045 01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 1: have no idea what's going on at that level. But 1046 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:25,120 Speaker 1: just even discussing helping to get rid of somebody in 1047 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,479 Speaker 1: a Central or South American country from the US government 1048 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,720 Speaker 1: perspective brings up a lot of history and a lot 1049 01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:33,479 Speaker 1: of baggage with it, and I think we're making the 1050 01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:37,280 Speaker 1: right call by backing Kwaid. I would also note though, 1051 01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:44,800 Speaker 1: that the possibility for there to be some form of overreach, blowback, 1052 01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:48,559 Speaker 1: mission creep all that stuff. Essentially we end up getting 1053 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 1: more involved in this than we want to, and that's 1054 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,240 Speaker 1: very real. We got a little reminder of that, I 1055 01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:59,960 Speaker 1: think yesterday when Jorge Ramos, most well known I think 1056 01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:05,200 Speaker 1: for being a Univision anchor and de facto open borders advocate, 1057 01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,680 Speaker 1: you know, very concerned about illegal immigrants, at least when 1058 01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:12,640 Speaker 1: they're Latino illegal immigrants. In general, he seems to have 1059 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:17,320 Speaker 1: less less of a strong position on but he is very, 1060 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:21,920 Speaker 1: very favorable in his coverage and in his analysis and 1061 01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 1: all of that to the illegal immigrant Latino population in 1062 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,200 Speaker 1: this country for obvious reasons. You know, he's a millionaire 1063 01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,640 Speaker 1: who lives in Miami, and he can talk all the 1064 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:33,519 Speaker 1: time about how he just wants them to be more 1065 01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:36,840 Speaker 1: and more legal aliens in this country. But he was 1066 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 1: detained yesterday after having an interview with Maduro that Maduro 1067 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,559 Speaker 1: and his people didn't like very much. Blake clip Ten 1068 01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 1: I conducted an interview with Nicolas Mahuro. I ask him 1069 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,599 Speaker 1: if I can call him either a precedent or a dictator, 1070 01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:59,080 Speaker 1: because as you know, millions of Venezuelans don't consider him 1071 01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 1: a president. And then we discussed the reports of torture 1072 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,800 Speaker 1: and human rights abuses and political prisoners, and at the 1073 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:14,200 Speaker 1: end I showed him a video that I personally took 1074 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:21,920 Speaker 1: last Sunday of three kids behind a trash truck looking 1075 01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:25,439 Speaker 1: for food. He just couldn't stand it. He didn't want 1076 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:28,919 Speaker 1: to continue the interview. He tried to close my iPad 1077 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,599 Speaker 1: where I showed him the video, and then he said 1078 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:33,879 Speaker 1: the interview was over. I didn't want to give them 1079 01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:38,200 Speaker 1: my cell phone, so they turned off the light of 1080 01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:42,439 Speaker 1: the room and a group of agents came in. They 1081 01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:47,880 Speaker 1: took forcefully in my backpack, my cell phone, and they 1082 01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,519 Speaker 1: forced us to give them our pass coals. After two 1083 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,519 Speaker 1: hours of being detained because we couldn't leave the palace. 1084 01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:59,040 Speaker 1: Two hours of being detained, they allow us to leave 1085 01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:02,400 Speaker 1: the presidential Palace. I think we'll never have that. That 1086 01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:07,880 Speaker 1: they don't want the world to see what we do now. 1087 01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,320 Speaker 1: That should send a little bit of a chill down 1088 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 1: your spine. I mean, we are dealing with it. We 1089 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:17,120 Speaker 1: are dealing with a thug government here, and any analysts 1090 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,800 Speaker 1: who are down there are taking some risks when they 1091 01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:23,040 Speaker 1: sit down, assuming they're going to ask real questions, assuming 1092 01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:26,600 Speaker 1: they're going to pose to this guy the reality of 1093 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,360 Speaker 1: the country that I mean, he has presented over the 1094 01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:33,160 Speaker 1: complete and utter ruination of Venezuela and did not have 1095 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:38,160 Speaker 1: to be this way. But he has been intransigent, and 1096 01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,760 Speaker 1: he's corrupt, and he's a bad guy. And when you 1097 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,800 Speaker 1: ask a bad guy why he is that way, it 1098 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,200 Speaker 1: tends not to take it very well. And obviously Mduro 1099 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,519 Speaker 1: did not take it well, did not want to have 1100 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,360 Speaker 1: to answer these kinds of questions, and so they seized him. 1101 01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:58,280 Speaker 1: But I would note, you know, Hory Ramos, producer, Mike, 1102 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:00,799 Speaker 1: is he a U. I think he's a US citizen, 1103 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:04,040 Speaker 1: So let's assume he is. Yes, Yes, he is. Yeah, 1104 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:07,400 Speaker 1: So Horrey Ramos is a US citizen. You know, you 1105 01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:10,799 Speaker 1: grab one of ours, and I'm because we are principal. 1106 01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:14,600 Speaker 1: Then we are conservatives and we are Americans. Darn it. 1107 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,639 Speaker 1: You know, you grab one of ours, we we unify, 1108 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,040 Speaker 1: we are together. You know, Jorge Ramos is one of us. 1109 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 1: He is a US citizen. So you lay a hand 1110 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:28,320 Speaker 1: on jorgey in some foreign country, you're some dictator, some stooge, 1111 01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:34,880 Speaker 1: some some squad of of of ruffians. We need the 1112 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,880 Speaker 1: full weight and force the United States government to make 1113 01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,360 Speaker 1: sure that you get out of there. This is what 1114 01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean by this stuff can get out of hand 1115 01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:46,120 Speaker 1: very very quickly. You know, if they had seized our diplomats, 1116 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,920 Speaker 1: that's an active war. What if they seize a bunch 1117 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:54,599 Speaker 1: of American citizen journalists, What if Majorro seizes them? Are 1118 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,559 Speaker 1: we gonna escalate even further? I think the answer has 1119 01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,240 Speaker 1: to be yes, you can't touch our people. You know, 1120 01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:04,240 Speaker 1: It's like Jack Nicholson in The Departed. There are guys 1121 01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,920 Speaker 1: he can't hit. And as far as I'm concerned, and 1122 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 1: as far as you know, I think all Americans should 1123 01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 1: be concerned. On the world stage, no foreign government is 1124 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:17,719 Speaker 1: able to without obviously legal justification. But no foreign government's 1125 01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,519 Speaker 1: able to take one of our people, and certainly not 1126 01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,679 Speaker 1: for an interview. So I gotta tell you on this one, 1127 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:27,040 Speaker 1: I stand with Jorge Man and I'm glad Jores out 1128 01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:28,680 Speaker 1: of there, because if we had to send in our 1129 01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,760 Speaker 1: guys to free him and his team, I'd be all 1130 01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,760 Speaker 1: for it. A US citizen and I know some of 1131 01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:36,600 Speaker 1: you really don't like Jorge, and I get that, but 1132 01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:38,759 Speaker 1: a citizen is a citizen. Man, He's one of ours, 1133 01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 1: so we got to remember that. But Venezuela, that just 1134 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:45,559 Speaker 1: shows you how quickly this thing can can actually spiral 1135 01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:47,479 Speaker 1: out of control. That's what we got to be very careful. 1136 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,519 Speaker 1: We want mcduau gone, but we don't want to make 1137 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,639 Speaker 1: this our problem. We got enough problems here. Well, look 1138 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:55,920 Speaker 1: at the Democrats in the House and the Green New 1139 01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:59,200 Speaker 1: Deal and the lunacy that these people are are pushing for, 1140 01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:01,960 Speaker 1: the crazy that they're talking about. We got our hands 1141 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,000 Speaker 1: full handling all that stuff. We don't want to be 1142 01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 1: in a position where we have to try to deal 1143 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:12,160 Speaker 1: with all the deprivation and destruction inside of Venezuela.

All sensitive programs 1165 01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 1: Musky Caps strictly need to know Team Buck is cleared 1166 01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:40,120 Speaker 1: and ready for the Buck Brief. It is more likely 1167 01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 1: than not that there is a conflict, possibly a full 1168 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 1: blown war with an allerging nuclear power. He is not 1169 01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,479 Speaker 1: merely being cavalier with a threat about nuclear war. He's 1170 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,560 Speaker 1: been cavalier in a way that makes him seem demented. 1171 01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:55,760 Speaker 1: These are the messages from a person who is not well, 1172 01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:58,599 Speaker 1: from a leader who is not fit for office, after 1173 01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:02,360 Speaker 1: a nuclear holocaust, after a million diars. And that's where 1174 01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,720 Speaker 1: we are. This is not an exaggeration, probably closer to 1175 01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 1: an outright war with North Korea. Got a thirty percent 1176 01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:12,120 Speaker 1: chance of war. I'd say, from where I sit right now, 1177 01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:15,560 Speaker 1: easily construe what he's been saying as a declaration or 1178 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,879 Speaker 1: at least a threat of war. What is the ignition 1179 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:21,120 Speaker 1: point for Kimy and Moon's fuse with this provrocative rhetoric. 1180 01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:24,479 Speaker 1: Trump's comments about nuclear weapons have experts worried he could 1181 01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,360 Speaker 1: literally inadvertently trigger a catastrophe. You have reason to be 1182 01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:31,200 Speaker 1: scared of a war that could wipe out five hundred 1183 01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:33,840 Speaker 1: thousand people. No, I just think he wants to use nukes. 1184 01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:39,120 Speaker 1: That's what I think he feels. What a bunch of lunatics. 1185 01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 1: That's just giving you a little a little sense of 1186 01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:50,719 Speaker 1: what's going on here with the media. As Trump enters 1187 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:57,599 Speaker 1: this moment of high stakes diplomacy in Hanoi. We'll say 1188 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,920 Speaker 1: that I never got to when I was in Vietnam, 1189 01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,680 Speaker 1: only got to Saigan. But I'm sure I know he's 1190 01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,439 Speaker 1: a very interesting place to visit. So Trump's there right now. 1191 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: The media have been saying for a long time that 1192 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:11,160 Speaker 1: he was going to start I mean you heard it. 1193 01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:14,080 Speaker 1: They were saying, oh, the risk of nuclear war. They're 1194 01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:17,519 Speaker 1: all so concerned about it. Now they're worried that Trump 1195 01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:20,920 Speaker 1: is trying too hard to get a piece deal. Whatever 1196 01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 1: it is that Trump is doing that is always and 1197 01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:29,120 Speaker 1: it always the most awful thing for them. That's the 1198 01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:33,040 Speaker 1: thing that they cannot forgive because Trump is the worst. 1199 01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:37,360 Speaker 1: In fact, the Libs are so hateful toward Trump that 1200 01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 1: you don't ever really pick up that they hate Kim 1201 01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:44,640 Speaker 1: Jong un or that they find this character to be odious. 1202 01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:50,840 Speaker 1: There was a pretty stark piece today in the Daily 1203 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:57,160 Speaker 1: Mail that broke down some of Kim Jung UN's most 1204 01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:01,320 Speaker 1: sadistic hits. This is some Daily Mail. Kim Jong un 1205 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:09,160 Speaker 1: is using barbaric methods to purge officials and cling onto power. 1206 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,600 Speaker 1: According to an investigation out of South Korea, the dictator 1207 01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:16,840 Speaker 1: has had four hundred and twenty one officials executed in 1208 01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,120 Speaker 1: exile since seizing power in twenty eleven, with victims being 1209 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:26,719 Speaker 1: fed naked to hunting dogs, blown up with anti aircraft guns, 1210 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:33,400 Speaker 1: burned alive with flamethrowers, and hanged. In some cases, entire 1211 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:38,000 Speaker 1: families of officials have been executed, while others were imprisoned 1212 01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:44,280 Speaker 1: in concentration camps and erased from society. Kim is also 1213 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,280 Speaker 1: said to have ordered the execution of his own family members, 1214 01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:51,720 Speaker 1: including his uncle Jang Song take, who was executed in 1215 01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:55,160 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, and his half brother jong nam, who was 1216 01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:58,080 Speaker 1: assassinated at a Malaysian airport in twenty seventeen. Some of 1217 01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:02,760 Speaker 1: you probably remember that one's and he had U or 1218 01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 1: when the when Kim Jong gun had two female assassins 1219 01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:12,000 Speaker 1: go up to Kim Jong un and wipe a nerve 1220 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:16,559 Speaker 1: gas a nerve toxin across his mouth, and the guy 1221 01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:22,639 Speaker 1: then died. Pretty brazen attack. But this is who we're 1222 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,120 Speaker 1: we're dealing with here. I mean, this is the individual 1223 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:30,880 Speaker 1: that the media spends far less time updating the American 1224 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,559 Speaker 1: people on, because I think if they understood just how 1225 01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:38,679 Speaker 1: sadistic the regime is and how and how how sadistic 1226 01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:41,720 Speaker 1: it has been, then maybe they'd have a greater understanding 1227 01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:45,120 Speaker 1: of the status quo. Is not acceptable that US just 1228 01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,799 Speaker 1: waiting around to see how advanced North Korea's nuclear program 1229 01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:52,920 Speaker 1: can get. Uh, that's that's not going to end well 1230 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:56,120 Speaker 1: for anybody, for anyone involved. I do have to say 1231 01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,200 Speaker 1: that the some of the reporting about Kim Jong gun 1232 01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:02,559 Speaker 1: is is kind of interesting. This guy shows up, that's 1233 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,800 Speaker 1: not about him being a statistic maniac. This guy shows 1234 01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:09,960 Speaker 1: up in an armored train that's traveled two thousand miles 1235 01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 1: from the Korean peninsula and he is. It said that 1236 01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:21,560 Speaker 1: he might be wearing two inch lifts. So Kim is 1237 01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:25,920 Speaker 1: kind of a widow guy. And also, you know, he 1238 01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:30,639 Speaker 1: is smoking, which is only interesting because the Washington Post report. 1239 01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:34,000 Speaker 1: Since a nationwide anti smoking campaign began a North Korea 1240 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:37,519 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, Kim Jong owen has rarely been seen with 1241 01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 1: a cigarette in his hand. But this week, as the 1242 01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:42,120 Speaker 1: young North Korean leader made his way to Vietnam, we 1243 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: got confirmation he hasn't given up the habit. Japan's TBS 1244 01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:50,560 Speaker 1: JNN caught footage of Kim pacing up on the platform 1245 01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 1: taking a smoke during his sixty five hour train journey 1246 01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 1: from pyeong Yang. So he's a smoker. So I guess 1247 01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:03,559 Speaker 1: Obama have that in common. Remember Obama used to smoke cigarettes. 1248 01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:06,240 Speaker 1: The media would and not that I care. You know, fine, 1249 01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:08,240 Speaker 1: he's a guy smoke cigarettes. The media was always a 1250 01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:10,000 Speaker 1: little touchy about it, though, you know, we don't want 1251 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:13,000 Speaker 1: to show anybody that Obama is a smoker. Well, it's 1252 01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:17,840 Speaker 1: definitely touchy North Korea for whatever reason. Mike producer Mike 1253 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:20,400 Speaker 1: makes a good point here that they should really like 1254 01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:24,080 Speaker 1: Kim Jong un insofar as he's willing to take a 1255 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,720 Speaker 1: train two thousand miles. You know, maybe maybe Kim Jong 1256 01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,360 Speaker 1: un would be on board for the Green New deal 1257 01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:34,680 Speaker 1: that makes a train that goes from the continent the 1258 01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:40,040 Speaker 1: United States to Hawaii. I suppose that that is possible. Anyway, 1259 01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,160 Speaker 1: there's a look, there's a lot of pageantry around this, 1260 01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of media attention, and there are thousands 1261 01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:48,559 Speaker 1: of journalists right now who have converged on Hannoy to 1262 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:52,920 Speaker 1: talk about this. I have pretty low expectations, as I've 1263 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:54,439 Speaker 1: been telling you. This is why I'm not leading the 1264 01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:56,000 Speaker 1: show with this. I know there are a lot of 1265 01:21:56,040 --> 01:22:00,360 Speaker 1: people that are spending probably more time in this than 1266 01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:01,719 Speaker 1: I am, But I mean, I just have to say 1267 01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 1: that I don't see this. I don't see this resulting 1268 01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 1: in any kind of major breakthrough. It's just very unlikely 1269 01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:17,160 Speaker 1: that North Korea is going to give up nuclear weapons. 1270 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,280 Speaker 1: And I can't help but think that part of this 1271 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:24,000 Speaker 1: is the biggest part of this, is that there's obviously 1272 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 1: a incredibly militaristic outlook from the North Korean State and 1273 01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:33,519 Speaker 1: the North Korean state. The propaganda. We always think of 1274 01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:36,840 Speaker 1: propaganda as it just affects the people like the masses, 1275 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:39,519 Speaker 1: but in the case of North Korea. How much have 1276 01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 1: the leadership bought into this? How much of what we 1277 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:49,280 Speaker 1: were seeing with the North Korean people and the incredibly 1278 01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 1: xenophobic and racist caricatures of Americans and of other Asians 1279 01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:57,000 Speaker 1: that is fed to the North Korean people on a 1280 01:22:57,040 --> 01:23:03,280 Speaker 1: regular basis. How much of that is also internalized by 1281 01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:06,000 Speaker 1: at least some of the senior leadership. I think a lot. 1282 01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,160 Speaker 1: It would be fascinating if I could sit down and 1283 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:15,280 Speaker 1: have an honest, the off the record conversation with any 1284 01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:17,040 Speaker 1: world leader. I mean, Kim John Un would be an 1285 01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,559 Speaker 1: incredibly interesting guy to talk to. You know, he is 1286 01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,600 Speaker 1: a I mean, he is a mass murderer. So but 1287 01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,200 Speaker 1: then again, I mean, it would be interesting to sit 1288 01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:28,920 Speaker 1: down and talk to a lot of mass murderers. You know, 1289 01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:30,960 Speaker 1: what does he really believe? What does he really think? 1290 01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,519 Speaker 1: He went to boarding school in Switzerland, so he's been 1291 01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:37,600 Speaker 1: exposed to the outside world. I know that a lot 1292 01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:39,559 Speaker 1: of people were angry at Trump today because he said 1293 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:41,639 Speaker 1: that Kim John Unn doesn't seem like he's messed up 1294 01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:45,360 Speaker 1: from his upbring? Is it? Oh? Trump is calling dictators again. 1295 01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:46,840 Speaker 1: I just want to say to them, you know, guys, 1296 01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:49,679 Speaker 1: he's trying to get a deal done here. He's trying 1297 01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:53,120 Speaker 1: to make some headway. Can you just can you let 1298 01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,600 Speaker 1: Trump operate a little bit without just breathing down his 1299 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:59,560 Speaker 1: neck about everything on this one. He's trying to essentially 1300 01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,679 Speaker 1: pull off off the near impossible, And if he pulls 1301 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:04,960 Speaker 1: off the near impossible in this case, he will have 1302 01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,880 Speaker 1: saved likely I don't know when, I don't know what timeframe, 1303 01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:13,439 Speaker 1: but it will save hundreds of thousands of lives. You know, 1304 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:19,360 Speaker 1: that's a very likely scenario. Hundreds of thousands of lives saved. 1305 01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:23,160 Speaker 1: And I think that when the president has an option 1306 01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,719 Speaker 1: to do that and is trying to do that, people 1307 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:30,960 Speaker 1: should maybe just back off a tiny, tiny bit. In 1308 01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:33,360 Speaker 1: the media, I'm not saying they can't hold him accountable, 1309 01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying that they criticize every word. You know, 1310 01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,679 Speaker 1: they're so hypothet again, they do that with Trump on everything. 1311 01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,759 Speaker 1: Everything Trump says is terrible. And we'll see what happens 1312 01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:44,280 Speaker 1: in this summit. It goes on for a few days, 1313 01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:45,880 Speaker 1: Trump will be back. In fact, Trump will be at 1314 01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,679 Speaker 1: sea pack at the end of the week, so I'm 1315 01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:53,360 Speaker 1: sure he'll give some insight there, and I'm guessing I'll 1316 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,559 Speaker 1: be there because I'll be at sea pack about how 1317 01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,080 Speaker 1: this whole week goes. But the summit is going on 1318 01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:02,559 Speaker 1: right now. Yesterday on the show, I talked a bit 1319 01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:07,240 Speaker 1: about who gets the presumption of innocence and who doesn't, 1320 01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:14,000 Speaker 1: and Professor Dershowitz, who himself has had his reputation tarnished 1321 01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:17,439 Speaker 1: with allegations, or at least as he has been very 1322 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:22,719 Speaker 1: vociferous in his denunciations of them, these fake allegations. But 1323 01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:27,759 Speaker 1: this is a real problem because we as a society 1324 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,840 Speaker 1: need to protect the presumption of innocence as something that 1325 01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:36,639 Speaker 1: is not political but is a principle. But we also 1326 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,000 Speaker 1: don't want to allow the left to get away with 1327 01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:44,280 Speaker 1: weaponizing the presumption of innocence and only using it for 1328 01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:48,559 Speaker 1: their own side, and whereas our side gets it taken away, 1329 01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:53,720 Speaker 1: creating this imbalance. Right, only Democrats get the presumption. We 1330 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,799 Speaker 1: do not get the presumption of innocence. And I meant 1331 01:25:56,840 --> 01:26:02,200 Speaker 1: to get to the latest Virginia where you know, right 1332 01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,000 Speaker 1: now you've got Chicago has the r. Kelly trial and 1333 01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:08,840 Speaker 1: the Jesse Smalltt situation, or well the arrest of R. 1334 01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:11,920 Speaker 1: Kelly and the Jesse Smallet arrest to deal with, and 1335 01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,559 Speaker 1: I think Ram Emmanuel stepped down from being the mayor, 1336 01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:16,880 Speaker 1: and they had an election today there too, what's up 1337 01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:20,680 Speaker 1: Windy City, And you know, so they're getting a lot 1338 01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:24,840 Speaker 1: of attention there, and you've gotten far less of a 1339 01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:28,639 Speaker 1: media focus on what's happening in Virginia, where you had 1340 01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:34,920 Speaker 1: this just string of incredibly damaging stories about the top 1341 01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,800 Speaker 1: three one, two, three count them politicians for the state 1342 01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:42,400 Speaker 1: of Virginia, all of whom were in meshon major scandals. Right. 1343 01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:47,320 Speaker 1: We had Northam with his black face photo and his yearbook, 1344 01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,080 Speaker 1: which he lied about and then kind of didn't lie about, 1345 01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:52,160 Speaker 1: but still lies about it. And you also have Mark Harring, 1346 01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:56,080 Speaker 1: number three guy, who said that Northam should step down 1347 01:26:56,160 --> 01:26:58,439 Speaker 1: for his black face photo, but then it came out 1348 01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:01,680 Speaker 1: that Harring himself had maybe had black face photos he 1349 01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 1: said in the past. But the number two guy, the 1350 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:08,760 Speaker 1: lieutenant governor of the state of Virginia, just in Fairfax, 1351 01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:16,280 Speaker 1: he still stands accused of two very serious sex crimes, 1352 01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean two sexual assaults, and Fairfax doesn't plan on resigning. 1353 01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:25,599 Speaker 1: He called for an FBI investigation, and I wish that 1354 01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:28,559 Speaker 1: you know, this is one of the legacies of the 1355 01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:33,400 Speaker 1: effort to destroy Cavanaugh that I just wish people would 1356 01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:38,679 Speaker 1: understand is completely preposterous. The FBI is not the super police. 1357 01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:42,360 Speaker 1: You're not just oh, you're not in a position to say, oh, 1358 01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:45,000 Speaker 1: something happened that I want to get the definitive answer 1359 01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:47,080 Speaker 1: on it's let's just call in the FBI. That's not 1360 01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:49,440 Speaker 1: how it works. Okay, the FBI is not the superpolice, 1361 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,240 Speaker 1: and people need to stop pretending that they are. But 1362 01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:56,080 Speaker 1: this is also what I think Joy read at MSNBC 1363 01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:59,840 Speaker 1: when she said that her blog was hacked and that 1364 01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:03,920 Speaker 1: homophobic language was used by somebody pretending to be her 1365 01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:07,080 Speaker 1: ten years ago on her blog that nobody was reading. 1366 01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:10,639 Speaker 1: But I don't think she actually followed the report the FBI, 1367 01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,720 Speaker 1: So she was pretty sly. She said she wanted an 1368 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,120 Speaker 1: FBI investigation, but she didn't actually take it to that 1369 01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:20,200 Speaker 1: next step. Just in Fairfax, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, it's 1370 01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:22,599 Speaker 1: got two women who have come forward on the record 1371 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,800 Speaker 1: to yes, that's right, credibly, that does not that's not 1372 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:29,920 Speaker 1: the same as saying proven but credibly accused him of 1373 01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:35,160 Speaker 1: sexual assault. Fairfax went on on offense and then some 1374 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,559 Speaker 1: play clip one if we go backwards and we rushed 1375 01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:43,679 Speaker 1: the judgment, and we allow for political lynchings without any 1376 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:46,960 Speaker 1: due process, any facts, that the evidence being heard, then 1377 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:48,800 Speaker 1: I think we do a disservice to this very body 1378 01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:52,040 Speaker 1: in which we all serve. And I want to stand 1379 01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:56,200 Speaker 1: in this moment in the truth, not only which has 1380 01:28:56,240 --> 01:29:00,960 Speaker 1: tested my constitution personally, but it's testing the constitution of 1381 01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,680 Speaker 1: the Comwealth of Virginia and of the United States of America. 1382 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:08,720 Speaker 1: Now I'm I'm a little torn in two directions on 1383 01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:13,280 Speaker 1: this issue of Fairfax. And this is an issue really 1384 01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:15,680 Speaker 1: for the Democrats more. But just let's understand first and 1385 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,800 Speaker 1: foremost that you have three politicians, with two of them 1386 01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,600 Speaker 1: admitting misconduct that was racist in their past. Whether you 1387 01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,080 Speaker 1: think they should resign for that or not. But the 1388 01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:27,320 Speaker 1: only guy that as of a week ago, looked like 1389 01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,560 Speaker 1: he might be forced to resign they were going to 1390 01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:32,720 Speaker 1: impeach him in the Virginia legislature was justin Fairfax, the 1391 01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:36,000 Speaker 1: only African American of the three. That's a bad look 1392 01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:38,679 Speaker 1: for the Democrats. So you can start with that, But 1393 01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:42,720 Speaker 1: then you go into the dynamics at work here with 1394 01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 1: the Fairfax situation, and here's a guy who you know, 1395 01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:53,599 Speaker 1: I look, I find his accusers credible. I can't say 1396 01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:55,679 Speaker 1: they haven't proven it beyond a reasonable doubt a court 1397 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,559 Speaker 1: of law, so there can't be any legal sanctions against 1398 01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:02,000 Speaker 1: him yet. But it's sounds to me like these are 1399 01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:05,080 Speaker 1: credible accusations. The problem, though, is that this is a 1400 01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:07,560 Speaker 1: This is a classic I mean, both of his accusers 1401 01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:11,840 Speaker 1: are in he said, she said situations now, unlike in 1402 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:17,120 Speaker 1: the Kavanaugh. In the Kavanaugh circumstance, there is an admitted 1403 01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:20,400 Speaker 1: There is admitted sexual conduct with both of these accusers. 1404 01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:22,719 Speaker 1: He's just saying it was consensual. They're saying it wasn't. 1405 01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:27,080 Speaker 1: But this isn't. I don't remember when, I don't remember 1406 01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:30,200 Speaker 1: what year, I don't remember remember what house. I don't 1407 01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:32,040 Speaker 1: have any facts, I don't have anything back this up. 1408 01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:36,519 Speaker 1: Everything about this lines up from what we've seen so far. 1409 01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:39,240 Speaker 1: And of course, the media buried these stories and didn't 1410 01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:41,040 Speaker 1: want to The Washington Post didn't want to run with 1411 01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:44,320 Speaker 1: this story because Fairfax's Democrat and he's an African American, 1412 01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,360 Speaker 1: and they just weren't interested in in running with the story, 1413 01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,880 Speaker 1: even though based on the Kavanaugh standard, they would have. 1414 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:54,599 Speaker 1: But I find his accusers credible, But I'm also somebody 1415 01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:59,560 Speaker 1: who wants there to be due process, and so my 1416 01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,720 Speaker 1: cicism of this is, how do we adjudicate in an 1417 01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:09,120 Speaker 1: era of sexual assault allegations that have rocked and taken 1418 01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:12,720 Speaker 1: down some very powerful people, how do we adjudicate it? 1419 01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:14,280 Speaker 1: I mean, if you are a public figure and you're 1420 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:16,919 Speaker 1: accused by somebody of sexual assault, are you just supposed 1421 01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:19,880 Speaker 1: to step down? I think the answer has to be no. 1422 01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:23,200 Speaker 1: I think there has to be some process. There has 1423 01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:26,640 Speaker 1: to be some due process for somebody, like justin Fairfax. 1424 01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 1: So there is. There is this part of it. It It 1425 01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:31,840 Speaker 1: feels like the guy, as much as I look, I 1426 01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:34,920 Speaker 1: believe the women who are accusing him, and it's not 1427 01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:39,000 Speaker 1: just because of politics or anything like that. I the stories, 1428 01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,840 Speaker 1: it all lines up, and the way this guy spoke 1429 01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,919 Speaker 1: about those women when they accused him, as was initially reported. 1430 01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:46,920 Speaker 1: It's just I believe it. That's not the same thing 1431 01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:50,000 Speaker 1: as saying it's proven. Though I can't say they've proven anything. 1432 01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:53,800 Speaker 1: They could in fact be settling scores against him. This 1433 01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:55,800 Speaker 1: could be some kind of a personal vendetta, and I 1434 01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:58,240 Speaker 1: cannot rule that out. That's why I believe in a process. 1435 01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,320 Speaker 1: The other part of me, or the other part of 1436 01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:04,040 Speaker 1: this discussion, though that I think we need to just 1437 01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:07,520 Speaker 1: keep in mind at some level is that if Fairfax 1438 01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:12,479 Speaker 1: was a Republican and these allegations were made, you would 1439 01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:17,240 Speaker 1: see NonStop coverage. I mean, MSNBC would probably have a 1440 01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:20,640 Speaker 1: timer in the bottom of the screen for all of 1441 01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:26,320 Speaker 1: their segments, you know, time elapse since Fairfax allegations without 1442 01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:29,479 Speaker 1: a resignation. I mean, they would put so much pressure 1443 01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:31,920 Speaker 1: and so much heat on a Republican to resign in 1444 01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:36,200 Speaker 1: these circumstances. Now, that doesn't make it right for us 1445 01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:40,479 Speaker 1: to do the same thing, but I do think that 1446 01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:44,280 Speaker 1: it's it's noteworthy that this double standard now is something 1447 01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:47,840 Speaker 1: that we're kind of accepting because we have principles, because 1448 01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:51,120 Speaker 1: we have scruples on the right about due process, and 1449 01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:53,960 Speaker 1: we don't get caught up in the same degree of 1450 01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:57,120 Speaker 1: hysterics around sexual assault allegations and all the rest of it. 1451 01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:03,240 Speaker 1: Because of all of that, we are vulnerable in a 1452 01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:07,000 Speaker 1: way that democrats are not. So, even in a case 1453 01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:09,920 Speaker 1: like this where the allegations are very credible, I will 1454 01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:13,040 Speaker 1: say that democrats deserve some degree of due process. They 1455 01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:16,240 Speaker 1: will not respond in kind. They do not respond to 1456 01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:20,000 Speaker 1: my good faith with good faith of their own. They 1457 01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:22,880 Speaker 1: like the double standard and are acting to maintain it. 1458 01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:26,799 Speaker 1: And the media silence around Fairfax is just more evidence 1459 01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:28,839 Speaker 1: of this. So I'm going to continue to follow this story, 1460 01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:31,320 Speaker 1: but this is a complicated one. I don't think he's 1461 01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:32,960 Speaker 1: going to step down, by the way, I don't think 1462 01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:38,800 Speaker 1: it's going to happen. It sounds like the plot of 1463 01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:44,479 Speaker 1: a not particularly creative movie, but it apparently happened. There 1464 01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:53,679 Speaker 1: was an Amtrak train outside of Eugene, Oregon, on its 1465 01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:57,880 Speaker 1: way to Los Angeles, with two hundred people on board, 1466 01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:03,440 Speaker 1: and it got stuck in deep snow for over thirty 1467 01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:08,760 Speaker 1: six hours. By the way, this definitely could be a 1468 01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:11,880 Speaker 1: plot of a movie or a short or something like that, 1469 01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 1: because they had all this snow and people got stuck 1470 01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:17,280 Speaker 1: for thirty six hours. And I got to tell you 1471 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:20,400 Speaker 1: first of all the stories here, it's pretty cute. Turns 1472 01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:24,880 Speaker 1: out that people were telling stories and playing cards and 1473 01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:30,639 Speaker 1: there was quote a giant coomb Baya party. They had 1474 01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:33,559 Speaker 1: heat and power and food on the train, so they 1475 01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:37,080 Speaker 1: weren't cold and they weren't hungry, and you know, everything 1476 01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:39,400 Speaker 1: was they could look at their iPads and everything else, 1477 01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:43,920 Speaker 1: and they basically had a big snow party or like 1478 01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:48,120 Speaker 1: a snow day party on this train with people dancing 1479 01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:53,560 Speaker 1: in the aisles playing music. Some guy busted out his ukulele. 1480 01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:57,519 Speaker 1: Just happened to have a ukulele and played it for 1481 01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:02,000 Speaker 1: the amusement of his fellow passengers. You had twenty students 1482 01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:06,160 Speaker 1: from Japan who just happened to be on this train. 1483 01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:08,840 Speaker 1: They must have had quite a little adventure, as well 1484 01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:12,559 Speaker 1: as a few dozen other college students. So you know, 1485 01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:14,760 Speaker 1: it's a nice story, and I think I've got an 1486 01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:19,080 Speaker 1: idea for a pretty formulaic movie plot or something, or 1487 01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:21,840 Speaker 1: at least episode of a TV show. Stuck on the 1488 01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 1: Amtrak train in the snow for thirty six hours. Although 1489 01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:28,240 Speaker 1: I can tell you this even with power and heat 1490 01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:34,280 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. The infamous Acella Corridor which connects 1491 01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:39,320 Speaker 1: New York City and DC and Boston right, so it 1492 01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:42,720 Speaker 1: goes from Boston south through New York, through Philadelphia and 1493 01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:46,920 Speaker 1: ends in DC. If you had an incident where the 1494 01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:51,400 Speaker 1: Ascella train was stuck for thirty six hours and people 1495 01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:53,680 Speaker 1: weren't able to get off of it, let me tell 1496 01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:58,479 Speaker 1: you something. The Ascella train after about I was gonna 1497 01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:02,799 Speaker 1: say three hours would turn into some kind of scene 1498 01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:05,920 Speaker 1: from like mad Max with a walking dead, Like everybody 1499 01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:09,040 Speaker 1: on that train thinks that they've got really important things 1500 01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:12,559 Speaker 1: to do and they need to get moving or right away. 1501 01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:15,719 Speaker 1: So the Ascella train is going to be a slightly 1502 01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:17,920 Speaker 1: different vibe. I don't think it would have turned into 1503 01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:20,519 Speaker 1: a Kumbaya party. And I gotta tell you whatever. I 1504 01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:22,400 Speaker 1: have to ride the Ascella fair amount because I go 1505 01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:26,160 Speaker 1: back and forth between New York and DC. And you 1506 01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:29,559 Speaker 1: gotta pay attention because there's always other journalists on that train. 1507 01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:32,320 Speaker 1: So if you're on the phone, as many of you 1508 01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:35,560 Speaker 1: know on an Amtrak train and you're like, hey, Bobert's 1509 01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:38,160 Speaker 1: going on, what's the ladies with the deal? Or we're 1510 01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:40,880 Speaker 1: getting you know, whenever you're talking, everybody on that train 1511 01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:43,840 Speaker 1: can pretty much hear you, so you really have to 1512 01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:46,760 Speaker 1: pay attention to it. And the food on Amtrak. I 1513 01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:51,040 Speaker 1: still don't understand how the food is so bad. They've 1514 01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:54,960 Speaker 1: improved some of the non perishables, like at least they 1515 01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:59,160 Speaker 1: have better granola bars and potato chips available now, But 1516 01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:02,240 Speaker 1: how hard would it be in an era of food 1517 01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:05,160 Speaker 1: trucks that show up all over the place and turn 1518 01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:08,080 Speaker 1: out gourmet cuisine. How hard would it be to have 1519 01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:12,400 Speaker 1: Amtrak food service serve stuff that was slightly above edible. 1520 01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't think it's really asking too much. I don't 1521 01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:19,720 Speaker 1: think it should be considered impossible for us to get 1522 01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:22,599 Speaker 1: to a point where Amtrak would be able to serve 1523 01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:26,200 Speaker 1: decent food. But I think that if you're stuck in 1524 01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:30,280 Speaker 1: snowbanks and outside of Oregon and I guess, I guess 1525 01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:33,400 Speaker 1: a rural area, whatever food they give you, I bet 1526 01:37:33,439 --> 01:37:37,240 Speaker 1: that frozen HOGI that they've been holding onto in the 1527 01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:41,400 Speaker 1: Amtrak food cart for last five or six years, that 1528 01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,920 Speaker 1: it tasted pretty darn good when it got microwaved. But 1529 01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:48,040 Speaker 1: it was a nice little story, and it just reminded 1530 01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:51,360 Speaker 1: me of how train travel is the most for me, 1531 01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:56,400 Speaker 1: the most preferable and civilized way to get from city 1532 01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:58,920 Speaker 1: to city and the East Coast. But that's only because 1533 01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:01,559 Speaker 1: we all assume we're not hit any traffic or any problems. 1534 01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:05,599 Speaker 1: The moment things start to go bad, people on that train, 1535 01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:08,720 Speaker 1: you can just feel the Ascella crew. I don't mean 1536 01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:11,200 Speaker 1: that the actual crew, I mean the people who ride 1537 01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:15,599 Speaker 1: the Acella. Their blood pressure collectively rises because they're all 1538 01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:19,400 Speaker 1: so important and have so much stuff to do. It 1539 01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:23,439 Speaker 1: starts to feel very very different vibe. So anyway, nice 1540 01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:25,320 Speaker 1: little story out of Oregon. I know we're on a 1541 01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:28,840 Speaker 1: great station in Oregon. Shield's hide all of you up 1542 01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:31,320 Speaker 1: in the Northwest who listen to the show. We have 1543 01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:39,000 Speaker 1: a fantastic role call up. Next show ain't over yet, folks, 1544 01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:47,840 Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. I just want to mind 1545 01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:51,839 Speaker 1: everybody that I will be at Seepack, the Conservative Political 1546 01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:59,000 Speaker 1: Action Conference, this Friday. I will be there in the morning, 1547 01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:01,240 Speaker 1: and that's the thing you probably want to see. It'll 1548 01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:05,040 Speaker 1: be on the main stage a debate over Syria and 1549 01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:09,200 Speaker 1: the Trump administration's decision making in Syria. I'll also be 1550 01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:13,200 Speaker 1: moderating a panel on cyber warfare in the evening, but 1551 01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:16,160 Speaker 1: I think the Syria thing is the thing that's going 1552 01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:19,519 Speaker 1: to be the most exciting one. So definitely, if you're 1553 01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:22,759 Speaker 1: going to be in the Washington DC area, although technically 1554 01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:27,560 Speaker 1: the conference is in Maryland, it's at the Gaylord Convention 1555 01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 1: Center in Maryland, with just south of Washington, d C. 1556 01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:34,240 Speaker 1: You should definitely come by. And if you see me 1557 01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:36,840 Speaker 1: walking the grounds at Seapack, please come up say hi. 1558 01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:40,920 Speaker 1: As many members of the team as I can give 1559 01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:43,040 Speaker 1: high fives to chat up a little bit get to 1560 01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:47,599 Speaker 1: meet the better. So that's this Friday Seapack. I'm hoping 1561 01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:51,080 Speaker 1: some young Team Bucks, some Team Buck campus shows up. 1562 01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:54,599 Speaker 1: This will be my first year as a media person 1563 01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:58,320 Speaker 1: at sea Pack. I went to Seapack as a just 1564 01:39:58,720 --> 01:40:00,840 Speaker 1: a person going to see I act to check it out. 1565 01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:04,800 Speaker 1: Maybe in two thousand and six or two thousand and seven, 1566 01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:07,479 Speaker 1: so it's been over a decade. I was a young 1567 01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:11,439 Speaker 1: CIA officer and I just went to patrol the grounds 1568 01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:13,559 Speaker 1: at Sepack and see what was going on. So I'll 1569 01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:17,280 Speaker 1: be there this year in my capacity as a commentator, 1570 01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:22,120 Speaker 1: radio host, all that good stuff. Let's get to your 1571 01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:25,600 Speaker 1: roll call thoughts, my friends. Robin first up, So the 1572 01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:30,200 Speaker 1: twelve week family leave should it be a federal mandate 1573 01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:36,360 Speaker 1: or law? No? Is it beneficial for families? Absolutely? I 1574 01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:39,120 Speaker 1: realize you have not had a child or actually given birth. 1575 01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:42,360 Speaker 1: It is hard work. It is like your insides running 1576 01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:44,720 Speaker 1: a marathon. And then you aren't permitted to sleep, eat, 1577 01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:48,360 Speaker 1: or bathe regularly for days. The mother isn't even released 1578 01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,760 Speaker 1: by medical professionals to drive for four to six weeks, 1579 01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,639 Speaker 1: depending on the method of delivery. Six weeks is essential. 1580 01:40:53,840 --> 01:40:56,559 Speaker 1: Eight weeks is enough to establish a decent milk supply 1581 01:40:56,640 --> 01:41:01,240 Speaker 1: and feeding schedule. Twelve weeks is emotionally health Robin. I 1582 01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:04,960 Speaker 1: have zero insider expertise on this matter, as I am 1583 01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:07,960 Speaker 1: neither a woman who has given birth, nor even a 1584 01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,800 Speaker 1: father of a child and married to a woman who 1585 01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:13,840 Speaker 1: has therefore given birth. So I defer to all of 1586 01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:17,000 Speaker 1: your knowledge and expertise on this. But I think you 1587 01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:20,439 Speaker 1: you understand My point is not that family leave isn't good. 1588 01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:25,320 Speaker 1: It's that mandatory twelve weeks of family leave is going 1589 01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:27,280 Speaker 1: to be If that's a federal mandate, that's going to 1590 01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:31,400 Speaker 1: be a problem for some businesses. It just is. And 1591 01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:34,200 Speaker 1: if it's a federal mandate, dentdal also be concerns about 1592 01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:39,479 Speaker 1: hiring women for some small businesses. So you know, there's nothing. 1593 01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:42,320 Speaker 1: Nothing in this world is free or easy, my friends, 1594 01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:47,720 Speaker 1: There's trade offs all over the place. Rita Right's well, Buck, 1595 01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:50,040 Speaker 1: we knew it'll be a difficult year watching dams with 1596 01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:52,599 Speaker 1: a bit of power, but it's just begun and they've 1597 01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:55,799 Speaker 1: set a new low. I cannot decide if the GOP 1598 01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:58,640 Speaker 1: planned it or if they stumbled onto it blindly. But 1599 01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:01,400 Speaker 1: between McConnell and sam As, the Dems have been forced 1600 01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:05,559 Speaker 1: to expose their creepy little underbellies. All their talking points 1601 01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:08,800 Speaker 1: have been reduced to simple yammering if only one child 1602 01:42:08,920 --> 01:42:12,120 Speaker 1: is saved, or women's health or separating children, if the 1603 01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:15,280 Speaker 1: GOP is smart and ruthless enough to use this AMMO 1604 01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:22,360 Speaker 1: shields high. Yeah, Rita's it's appalling and it's something that 1605 01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:26,439 Speaker 1: we should not just skip past quickly that Democrats are 1606 01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:34,439 Speaker 1: so willing, so very willing to either run interference for, 1607 01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:38,920 Speaker 1: put up a smokescreen for, or just openly advocate for infanticide, 1608 01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:41,599 Speaker 1: which is what they're doing. They can pretend that it's 1609 01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:44,200 Speaker 1: already in the law, but it's not. And if it 1610 01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:46,880 Speaker 1: we're already in the law, then why not just pass 1611 01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,320 Speaker 1: this law to affirm the law already on the books. 1612 01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:54,679 Speaker 1: But they know that it will force some very uncomfortable questions, 1613 01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:57,040 Speaker 1: as we've been discussing here on the show, if in 1614 01:42:57,120 --> 01:43:02,160 Speaker 1: fact there was in the law criminal culpability for the 1615 01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:07,040 Speaker 1: destruction of a born fetus also known as a baby. 1616 01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:10,160 Speaker 1: And that is why the left. Look, the Left has 1617 01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:13,240 Speaker 1: embraced evil and destruction here when it comes to the 1618 01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:16,559 Speaker 1: issue of life, and nobody ever wants to believe that 1619 01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:20,200 Speaker 1: about themselves, even bad people like to think that there's 1620 01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:25,320 Speaker 1: some explanation, there's some justification for their badness, and that's 1621 01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:28,360 Speaker 1: what we see happening here with many other proponents of 1622 01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:31,760 Speaker 1: his policy on the left. Stephen writes, Buck, your Trey 1623 01:43:31,800 --> 01:43:34,680 Speaker 1: Gaudy isn't too bad. Sounds a little bit like the 1624 01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:36,960 Speaker 1: chef from the Muppets. You need to go a little 1625 01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:40,679 Speaker 1: more gomer Pile, keep up the good workshields high world. Stephen, 1626 01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:44,120 Speaker 1: thank you very much for telling me this thing over here. 1627 01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:48,560 Speaker 1: The Trey garrity sounds Cadillock Trey gawty. You know, I 1628 01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:51,280 Speaker 1: think my Trey Gaudy's kind of close. Guys. I know 1629 01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:53,240 Speaker 1: a lot of you in the South say my Trey 1630 01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:57,000 Speaker 1: Gauty is terrible, and I respect that, but it's not. 1631 01:43:57,280 --> 01:44:00,719 Speaker 1: It's not that far off, all right, it's not. You know, Burke, 1632 01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:03,600 Speaker 1: maybe if you spend more time with Trey on the 1633 01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:08,000 Speaker 1: television set, you know, doing the green room discussion, having 1634 01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:11,120 Speaker 1: a little chit chat. Hen, come on, it sounds a 1635 01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:14,080 Speaker 1: little bit. Don't make me start playing Trey Goudy sound bites. 1636 01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:18,680 Speaker 1: Know the Congress has the overstart capa build. Come on, 1637 01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:21,439 Speaker 1: it's my tray, is not you know what I don't have, 1638 01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,640 Speaker 1: and I realize that it's a real shortcoming in my 1639 01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:30,120 Speaker 1: impersonation repertoire. I don't have a Trump, and I hear 1640 01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:33,120 Speaker 1: so many people do bad Trump impressions, and I don't 1641 01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:36,360 Speaker 1: want to be yet another bad Trump impression, because you 1642 01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,679 Speaker 1: really have to work on your Trump and it has 1643 01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,360 Speaker 1: to be good or else it's it's like a Scottish accent. 1644 01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:43,920 Speaker 1: You gotta really think about it and work on it, 1645 01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:47,680 Speaker 1: or else you're just hell id if you have what 1646 01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:51,519 Speaker 1: my body, Yeah, I think I'm sick. Sick. Come you know, 1647 01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:54,519 Speaker 1: you just end up copying Mike Myers from So I 1648 01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:56,240 Speaker 1: Married an Axe Murder, which is actually not a bad 1649 01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:59,519 Speaker 1: place to start. But you need to work on your 1650 01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:02,280 Speaker 1: Scottish accent before you could throw Scottish accent out there. 1651 01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:05,280 Speaker 1: And some of you are probably like Buck, whatever happened 1652 01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:08,120 Speaker 1: to your character Angus McManus, I haven't forgot. Angus isn't 1653 01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:10,759 Speaker 1: dead and buried. I just don't do as many characters 1654 01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:12,320 Speaker 1: on this show because I feel like there's a national 1655 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:15,800 Speaker 1: radio audience we got, you know, hundreds of thousands of 1656 01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:18,479 Speaker 1: people listening the show coast to coast. I don't want 1657 01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:20,680 Speaker 1: to you know, I feel like I only have so 1658 01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:23,400 Speaker 1: much time, and I don't know, maybe I'm talking myself 1659 01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:26,519 Speaker 1: into doing some more, some more skits and characters and things. 1660 01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:28,559 Speaker 1: Probably a third you know, third hour or the show. 1661 01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:30,280 Speaker 1: That's when I tend to loosen it up a little bit, 1662 01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:32,720 Speaker 1: change up the topics a bit. You'll still get news 1663 01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:35,880 Speaker 1: the day and deep political analysis in the front half 1664 01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:37,920 Speaker 1: of the show, but maybe back of the show, maybe 1665 01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:41,120 Speaker 1: back in the Schryl Bargners from Room for Trade gallery 1666 01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:45,559 Speaker 1: to shore. We're up and maybe right, maybe, hey, your 1667 01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:50,160 Speaker 1: trade gallity is terrible. Sixtum get crip lad. Yeah, I know, 1668 01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:57,080 Speaker 1: I know. Kristen rights. Yes, we definitely can't agree. It 1669 01:45:57,080 --> 01:46:01,200 Speaker 1: should be Kristen and spelled within e. Well, you're darn right, 1670 01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:05,519 Speaker 1: Kristen couldn't agree with you more. Oh, oh, I see 1671 01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:11,040 Speaker 1: something TJ. Right, Buck, I'm a little disappointed he didn't 1672 01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:13,240 Speaker 1: get to sit in on the Governor Colorado interview on 1673 01:46:13,360 --> 01:46:17,160 Speaker 1: Rising this morning. The fact that they are potentially nullifying 1674 01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:19,840 Speaker 1: their electoral College votes for the majority vote of the 1675 01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:23,920 Speaker 1: country is a crying shame. To be consistent, he should 1676 01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:26,479 Speaker 1: just hand his governorship over to President Trump, since he 1677 01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,519 Speaker 1: clearly does not believe in his own states sovereignty and 1678 01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:31,920 Speaker 1: its ability to govern and represent itself as part of 1679 01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:35,559 Speaker 1: this union. It's not surprising considering the lack of historical 1680 01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:37,720 Speaker 1: knowledge in this country of the inability by the left 1681 01:46:37,720 --> 01:46:41,240 Speaker 1: to understand the significance of the electoral college and the 1682 01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:42,880 Speaker 1: fact that this country is a collection of states that 1683 01:46:42,920 --> 01:46:45,479 Speaker 1: represents himselves. But when a governor of one of those 1684 01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:50,599 Speaker 1: states cannot comprehend that fact, well, that is truly concerning TJ. 1685 01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:53,280 Speaker 1: Just so you know, I didn't duck the interview or 1686 01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:55,400 Speaker 1: anything like that. I just wasn't able to do it. 1687 01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:59,120 Speaker 1: There was a scheduling conflict. So sometimes on Rising you 1688 01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:02,240 Speaker 1: just get my co host on an interview, and other 1689 01:47:02,240 --> 01:47:05,360 Speaker 1: times it's just me in an interview because we can't 1690 01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:07,479 Speaker 1: make the timing work to get to get the interview 1691 01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:13,439 Speaker 1: or interviewee rather there when we're both there. Harry rights, 1692 01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:16,240 Speaker 1: Hey Buck, Leftists should be careful what they ask for. 1693 01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:20,320 Speaker 1: Wouldn't giving wouldn't giving anyone who wants reparations a one 1694 01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:24,559 Speaker 1: way ticket out of this country be fulfilling in my memory, 1695 01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:29,920 Speaker 1: that's how certain countries reform, you know, Harry, you know 1696 01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:35,120 Speaker 1: it's it's a reparations is a concept that people will 1697 01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:39,520 Speaker 1: push for. UM. It's a concept that people will discuss. 1698 01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:45,680 Speaker 1: They generally speaking don't have UM, they don't have specifics 1699 01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:48,519 Speaker 1: in mind, but it does serve the purposes of the 1700 01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:54,000 Speaker 1: left of some degree of just stoking more identity politics. 1701 01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:58,400 Speaker 1: As we know, that's very, very important to the left. 1702 01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:02,920 Speaker 1: Patrick right, it's take the Pain. It's Platoon. She'll tie 1703 01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:09,120 Speaker 1: Oss Sully aka Patrick Patrick. You got it, my friend, 1704 01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:13,320 Speaker 1: Take the Pain. That's when Tom Berenger, who's playing Barnes 1705 01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:16,360 Speaker 1: in Platoon, covers the guy's mouth after he's been wounded. 1706 01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:19,559 Speaker 1: You know, I think Tom Berenger's the best part of 1707 01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:22,200 Speaker 1: that movie. To be honest with you, I think Platoon 1708 01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:26,720 Speaker 1: for me, in retrospect, it's pretty overrated movie. I did 1709 01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:28,720 Speaker 1: not think it's the masterpiece that a lot of people 1710 01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:32,200 Speaker 1: seem to think it is. But it has some good 1711 01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:37,680 Speaker 1: some good sequences, and Barnes is certainly one of the standouts. 1712 01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:42,240 Speaker 1: David writes, the irony of the left is that Horey 1713 01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:45,599 Speaker 1: Ramos got his own medicine today by the government government 1714 01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:49,120 Speaker 1: socialist policies of Venezuela, the same policies he wants here 1715 01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:52,439 Speaker 1: in the US. I just wish they had thrown away 1716 01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:56,200 Speaker 1: the key. Well, you know, David Jore Ramos is, I 1717 01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:59,599 Speaker 1: understand it as a US citizen, So he's one of ours, 1718 01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:02,680 Speaker 1: and you can't you can't take one of ours and 1719 01:49:02,720 --> 01:49:04,560 Speaker 1: lock them up when they're being a journalist in the 1720 01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:06,920 Speaker 1: four country. You know, we we got to take care 1721 01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:10,120 Speaker 1: of our own, no matter what their politics are. We 1722 01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:12,360 Speaker 1: don't have to take care of other people's according to 1723 01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:14,920 Speaker 1: the law, but Democrats disagree with that. But we take 1724 01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:17,560 Speaker 1: care of our own. And I believe Hory Ramas is 1725 01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:20,960 Speaker 1: a US citizen, which means that he's he's one of ours, 1726 01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:22,639 Speaker 1: and we got to go in there and get them 1727 01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:26,120 Speaker 1: if we have to go, if need be, need be, 1728 01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:28,080 Speaker 1: I'd I'd give the order myself to go in there 1729 01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:33,160 Speaker 1: and get Ramos, get Ramos out. So the US citizen 1730 01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:38,080 Speaker 1: is a US citizen. James right. The movie quote was 1731 01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:43,320 Speaker 1: from Expendables, Jason Statham James, I don't think you're I 1732 01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:45,879 Speaker 1: don't know if maybe I quoted the Expendables by accident, 1733 01:49:45,920 --> 01:49:49,240 Speaker 1: but that's not the one that's uh, somebody else got it. 1734 01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:52,000 Speaker 1: Take the Pain is from is from Platoon, although maybe 1735 01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:57,559 Speaker 1: Jason Statham says it in the expendables as well. Paul 1736 01:49:57,640 --> 01:50:00,920 Speaker 1: and Carmen, Bravo Bucks Spot today. On so many of 1737 01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:03,599 Speaker 1: your comments, I wouldn't know where to begin.

Shield's High a RP is well known. Right, 1752 01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,800 Speaker 1: it's a big organization for seniors. But guess what, Like 1753 01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:53,439 Speaker 1: a lot of very big, well known organizations, it's very 1754 01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:59,000 Speaker 1: left wing. Wants to support universal healthcare, probably wants support 1755 01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:01,519 Speaker 1: all kinds of un virsual programs as a bit of 1756 01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:04,960 Speaker 1: a Democrat socialist vibe to it. I got an idea, 1757 01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:09,360 Speaker 1: how about AMAC instead. AMAK is the conservative alternative as 1758 01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:13,519 Speaker 1: a seniors organization to AARP, and that's why I think 1759 01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:16,920 Speaker 1: AMAK is the way to go for you. Over one 1760 01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:19,559 Speaker 1: point five million Americans have already joined AMAC, and they're 1761 01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:23,679 Speaker 1: getting great value like discounts on car insurance, hotels, roadside assistance. 1762 01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:27,240 Speaker 1: But also they're part of an organization that supports conservative 1763 01:51:27,320 --> 01:51:29,920 Speaker 1: values and is pushing for policies that will make this 1764 01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:33,280 Speaker 1: country great.
