We'll 3 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: break down all of the most important moments for you. Also, 4 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: the Nevada caucuses are just a few days away. How 5 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: is this Democrat primary shaken out? And how long is 6 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: Roger Stone going to prison? We'll have that for you 7 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: and much more coming up. This is the Buck Sexton Show, 8 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really 9 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence, magnor mistake.

What I miss here, Well, 14 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: you'll list and I work in Washington Housewash the first problem. 15 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: Live in Burley to the house school.

New York, New York City? 19 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: Thank you very much, And I pay all my taxes 20 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: and I'm happy to do it. Because I get something 21 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: for it. New York City getting a shout out last night. 22 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show, everybody, thank you so 23 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: much for being here. Man. The debate, the debate was spicy. 24 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: It was a spicy meat the ball. I enjoyed it. 25 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: I enjoyed it that and I wasn't expecting to. So 26 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: you gotta give the Democrats credit. At least they put 27 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: on a show. And I think the ABC News anchors, 28 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: I will tell you I find Lester hole to be 29 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: and I mean this as a high compliment among the 30 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: very least annoying lib ankers in all of the news business. 31 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not even sure I find him annoying 32 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: quite honestly at all. So that which is, you know, 33 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: it's a big compliment. I think I think he did 34 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: a good job. I mean, Chuck Todd's very annoying. He 35 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: was there too. But yeah, it was quite a throwdown. 36 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: And that we started off with that SoundBite was the 37 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: single most interesting exchange for me of the night. Now, 38 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: everyone brings their own biases to this, and when you 39 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: talk about who you thought had the best night, and look, 40 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: Bloomberg did not have a good night, didn't have a 41 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: good night, there's no question, okay, but Bloomberg also would 42 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: probably stand right next to me and if we could 43 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: and we asked them the question what do you think 44 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: about last night? He said, who cares? In a week, 45 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: all people will remember is the ad that they're seeing 46 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: not just on TV, on their smartphone, in their Facebook account, 47 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: on Twitter, in their email box from people talking about 48 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: how great bombergs. So does the debate last night really matter? 49 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: We'll see if there's a big, a big shift in 50 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: the polls. I don't think it will change all that 51 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: much for Bloomberg. I mean, there were two people on 52 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: the stage last night who were really battling it out 53 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: for supremacy in terms of attention. Biden was very I'm 54 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: just gonna yell. I'm just you know, I knew the 55 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: Obamacare and I did this through and I'm just yelling 56 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: and I forget where I am. But I know if 57 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: I keep raising my voice then people might listen. That 58 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: was Biden, I, just as I've said, a third tier 59 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: politician with a fourth tier mind. I also think that 60 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's best line. Where else have you heard Bernie Sanders 61 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: socialist with three houses before? I'm not saying mister Mayor 62 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: listens to this show frequently, but I'm not saying he 63 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: doesn't either. I don't know. I don't know, can either 64 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: confirm nor deny, And I really mean that I have 65 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: absolutely no idea well that it was quite an exchange. 66 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: So the big takeaways, you know, the most fun thing 67 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: to do after these debates, and I didn't do one. 68 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: I didn't do one because, quite honestly, I watched the 69 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: whole debate this morning. I had I had something to 70 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: do last night, so I watched the whole thing this morning, 71 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: which was great because I was, you know, sitting there 72 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: drinking mccoffee, and I didn't want to get any preconceived 73 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: notions going, so I didn't see what anyone I had 74 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: said about the debate. And as I watched the whole 75 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: thing through, I saw that if I were to come 76 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: up with some live tweets, or if I were to 77 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: give you the the pithy freedom Hut style, what you 78 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: need to know. Sanders got hit hard for being a 79 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: socialist that's out of step with most of the country, 80 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: but he still has a political army behind him. Bloomberg. 81 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: It was exactly what we expected, but he did get 82 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: in a good shot on on Bernie Sanders, but the 83 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: stuff with the women and the non disclosure agreements will 84 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: get into all the specifics. So this didn't look good 85 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: for him. But again I think I think it doesn't matter. 86 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: I think the people that like Bloomberg won't care. Klobaschar 87 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: comes across as more reasonable and more normal than really 88 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: all the other Democrats on the stage, at least to me. 89 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: And that continued last night although she had she mixed 90 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: it up with may Or Pete on some stuff. Mayor 91 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: Pete was getting feisty with her. And then you had 92 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren, and I saw the jokes on Twitter about 93 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: how you know she brought a tomahawk to a knife fight, 94 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: or that she had her war paint on. I mean, 95 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: people were when the president calls a political candidate pocahonas. 96 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the field is wide open for 97 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: the continuation of those kinds of jokes. I think it's 98 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: worth noting those are jokes at Elizabeth Warren's expense, not 99 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: at the expense of Native American people. But it's it's 100 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: amazing to see how Warren, how predictable it was for 101 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: her to go after for her to go after people 102 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: the way that she did, notably Mike Bloomberg. You see, 103 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: she had in her head going into this debate that 104 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: if she was on offense against Bloomberg would elevate her 105 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: back to being at some degree of perception parody with Sanders, 106 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,559 Speaker 1: who is the class warfare guy. Sanders is the class 107 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: warfare guy. Elizabeth Warren tried to be the more policy 108 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: walk also into the class warfare stuff, but she's she's 109 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: taken a slightly less aggressive approach, and last night that 110 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: all went out of the window. She was going after Sanders, 111 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, going after Bloomberg with everything she's got. Klobe 112 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: shar was going after Sanders on getting rid of healthcare 113 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: healthcare for one hundred and forty nine million people with 114 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: his Medicare for All planned Buddha Judge was going after 115 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: going after Bernie Sanders on thirty trillion dollars of spending, 116 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: only fifteen trillion of which has been explained. And thankfully 117 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: we were spared from having Tom Steyer up there. Like 118 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: climate changes though you know, I only wear one tie 119 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: to lower the CO two emissions from making ties. So 120 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: that was what was going on last night. All right, 121 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: let's let's dig into a bit of the Shelby. I mean, 122 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: the big takeaway is that I think that this is 123 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: now it's a it's a Bernie, It's a Bernie Bloomberg 124 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: fight for this nomination. I think that's the case. Maybe 125 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: we'll see after Super Tuesday that Biden all of a 126 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: sudden surges. But I think this is a democratic party 127 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: that has to choose, and they're choosing between They're choosing 128 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: between polar opposites within the party, which is what's so fascinating. 129 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: These aren't two people usually. I think you would expect 130 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: that at a particular political moment, there'd be two people 131 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: who in a primary, we're really running for the same 132 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: in the same lane, with mostly the same policy ideas, 133 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: and what you have with Biden. I'm sorry with Bloomberg 134 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: and Bernie getting all these bees, Buddha judge, there's too 135 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: many bees in this race. It's a good thing Buck 136 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: isn't in the mix. But then I don't have to 137 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: take them all to school in that debate stage. But 138 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: you have these different candidates, and they are far apart 139 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: on these issues, so far apart that you have to 140 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: wonder if Bloomberg, under other circum stances would even really 141 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: be considered a Democrat or if he's really more of 142 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: an independent who's trying to run as a Democrat in 143 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: order to prevent the victory of Donald Trump. So now 144 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: let's get to it. This is where let's start with 145 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: this one, because going the person who went after Bloomberg 146 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: the hardest, no question, was Elizabeth Warren. Warren was setting 147 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: setting the ambush from the very beginning. And here is 148 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: how she started. This was earlier the debate two. Here's 149 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: how she started out Play five. I'd like to talk 150 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: about who were running against a billionaire who calls women 151 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: fat broads and horse faced lesbians. And no I'm not 152 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: talking about Donald Trump. I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg. Democrass 153 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: are not going to win if we have a nominee 154 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of 155 00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 1: harassing women, and of supporting racist policies like redline and 156 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: stop and frisk. Look, I'll support whoever the Democratic nominee is, 157 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: but understand this, Democrats take a huge risk if we 158 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: just substitute one arrogant billionaire for another. Whoa the range 159 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: is hot rounds getting fired, it's who it's with. Warren 160 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: deciding that she was just going to go after Bloomberg 161 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: and say that he's not really much better than Trump. 162 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: That's certainly the implication. She more or less came out 163 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: and said it. Those things that she rattled off that 164 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: she believes will prevent the Democratic Party from winning. Let's understand, 165 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: if you take a longer view, if you look at 166 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: this from a strategic perspective, redlining, his comments about women 167 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: and stopping frisk, those are all problems for the Democrat base. 168 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't think any of those are going to be 169 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: major issues of concern in the states that if Bloomberg 170 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: were the winner of the primary, he would be facing 171 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: off against Trump in right Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida, 172 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 1: and whatever else you want to throw in there. I mean, though, 173 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: those main states that you have to look at as 174 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: the determining factor in who's going to be the next 175 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: president United States. I don't know if any of that 176 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: really matters. You can say that, you know, minority turnout 177 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: in those states might be a little bit suppressed for Bloomberg, 178 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: but minority turnout in those states is generally not or 179 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: it all. It depends on which stay we're talking about 180 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: and which minority group. So that's that remains to be seen. 181 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: I just don't think that any of those issues would 182 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: stop a Democrat voter from coming out and voting from 183 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: Mike Bloomberg. I could be wrong. We are seeing now 184 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: that there's still major concerns among the Democratic establishment that 185 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is out of the national mainstream. He's not 186 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: out of the Democratic Party mainstream, clearly, but is he 187 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: out of the national mainstream? Do independence do undecided voters 188 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: turn out for a Bernie Sanders radical socialist agenda. That's 189 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: that's the pivotal question. That's what has to be answered 190 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: by these Democrats, and I don't think they're ready for that. 191 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: Let me go back to Bloomberg for a second. Look. 192 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: I hate Bloomberg's policies, but I do think that we 193 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: need to understand who's a bigger threat to the American 194 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: economy and way of life among the Democrats, and I 195 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: believe that Bernie Sanders is a much more It's obvious 196 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: that he's a much more serious threat to many of 197 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: the things that are important to us. So if I 198 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: ever sound like I'm being a little too favorable to Bloomberg, 199 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: you know, full disclosure. You know that I worked for 200 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: the MYPD when Bloomberg was the mayor, and that he 201 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: was relatively well regarded in that role, and he was 202 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: a Republican then. But I also think that Bloomberg on 203 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: climate change and on guns and there's a whole host 204 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: of issues where he is terrible. He's not like a 205 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: little bit bad. He's not a moderate. He's a leftist 206 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: on those issues. So I like to give you that 207 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: context for everything else. I'm going to say, because I'm 208 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: kind of gonna be one of these people right now. 209 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: Everyone's when they're pulling apart this primary, they either are 210 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: bashing Bloomberg and de facto pumping up Bernie a little bit, 211 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: or bashing Bernie and pumping up Bloomerg a little bit. 212 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean, that's even if that's not the intent, that's 213 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: the side effect. So I'm aware that that may be 214 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: what's going on the Indy. Please everyone, I love all 215 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: of you who listen to this show, and I am 216 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: humbled and honored, and I mean that from the bottom 217 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: of my heart. Every day. I don't know how many 218 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: jobs I could say this, though I have no control 219 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: over Bloomberg by ads on our podcast, iHeart does not 220 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: with the company takes political advertisements, and if you take 221 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 1: political advertisements, which if you're a major media company you 222 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: have to, you can't discriminate against different political parties. So please, 223 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: I love you all. But I keep getting a producer, 224 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: markast to feel that we can get these emails like 225 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: why is Bloomberg by? We can't stop him? There are 226 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: and I would argue that we should be able to 227 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: that this. Uh, these campaign finance laws are ridiculous in 228 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: a lot of ways. But I just wanted to say 229 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: that there's nothing that we can do right now about 230 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: it or with all that. This is where Bloomberg, this 231 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: is where things got rough for him, and he looked 232 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: like he was up there on stage and he's just like, ah, 233 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: do I have to be here? Can I pay someone 234 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: else to be here instead of me? I'm so bored, 235 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to be here. I'm tired. I'm worth 236 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,719 Speaker 1: like a hundred bajillion dollars like what? So here is 237 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: where he got himself into a tough spot up on 238 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: that stage. Play one Mark and the Mari comes along 239 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: on His attorney said, I will give you this amount 240 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: of money if you promise you'll never say anything. That's 241 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: how it works. I said, we're not going to get 242 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: to end these agreements because they were made consensually, and 243 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: they have every right to expect that they will stay private. 244 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: If they want to release it, they should be able 245 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: to release themselves. I will say yes, no, the Mayor. 246 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: I shouldn't. By the way, I'm somebody who doesn't like 247 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: the retention of titles things, so I shouldn't we I 248 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: just go with may Or Pete because his last name 249 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: is hard to say like everybody else's. It's not out 250 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: of some strange newfound respect for for Pete Buddha judge, 251 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: but Bloomberg. He is not may Or Bloomberg anymore. Bloomberg 252 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: did not do himself any favors there. But what is 253 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: he really going to say? I don't know what the 254 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: NDAs that were signed. I don't know what the provisions 255 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: are in them and who's involved, And it might be 256 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: people that sued Bloomberg's company for what other managers did, 257 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: and so that then would be he's not in a 258 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: position to just wave it, but no one wants to. 259 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: No one cares about that. All they care about is 260 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: that Bloomberg has NDA's from his company, where he has 261 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: apparently a history of not always speaking very well, you know, 262 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: in front of women and about women, And the Democrats 263 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: must at some level be aware that all their complaints 264 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: about how horrible Trump is when it comes to women, 265 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: that's not going to be as effective a line of 266 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: attack if, in fact, you have a Bloomberg nominee from 267 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. One thing is interesting Bernie Sanders. You know, 268 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: he's been he's been married a few times. His personal 269 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: life somehow never gets brought up in any of this either. 270 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: I just I think I think that we've reached the 271 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: point now where where divorces and messy divorces and those 272 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: things for political office nobody really cares, uh, you know, 273 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: kids with with one wife and then kids with another 274 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: wife or kids without a wife, or whatever it may be. 275 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: I think that people are increasingly just don't really make 276 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: decisions based on that. I think that's what we're seeing. 277 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: But Bernie Sanders personal life, somehow always have always no 278 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: one brings it up. They did bring up his medical 279 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: records last night and his promise that he'd release them, 280 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: which he has gone back on, but really the the 281 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: entire m last night for Warren and for Bernie, and 282 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: probably for a couple of other candidates. You want to 283 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: throw them in there too. Was it just stop this 284 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: Bloomberg momentum, this juggernaut of financial political this financial political 285 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: onslaught And here is what Warren called for, play too. 286 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: I hope that Michael Bloomberg decides to live by what 287 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: he says. He just wants to see the Democrats beat 288 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. So that's great, Mike Bloomberg, drop out of 289 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: the race, keep putting your money in to help Democrats 290 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: beat Donald Trump, and just take your ego out of this. 291 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: Did you expect him to do differently tonight or better 292 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: than he did? What shocks me is he seems so 293 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: unprepared for the question about the nondisclosure agreements. I mean, 294 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: think about what that says about Mike Bloomberg, that all 295 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: these years he has been sued evidently multiple times for 296 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: discrimination against women and for harassing women. The details we 297 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: don't know, because each time it happens, if he puts 298 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: a chunk of money on the table and then forces 299 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: the woman to agree to wear a muzzle for the 300 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: rest of her life over this issue, well that was 301 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: the that was the main attack against Bloomberg. Last night, 302 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: and it didn't look good and Bloomberg had a bad 303 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: night all in all on the debate stage. But I 304 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 1: still hold to I don't think. I don't think anyone's 305 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: gonna care. We'll see if I'm writing the polls. You're 306 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sex and 307 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: Show podcast, all right. So that that was the the 308 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: big moments. The big moments last night were about the 309 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: attacks about different candidates on that stage going on offense 310 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: against each other. I think, by the way, I think 311 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: that that's fine. I don't understand why people keep saying 312 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: they should focus on Trump. We all know they hate 313 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: Trump and think that he's the Antichrist, and they're all 314 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: we get that. That doesn't tell us anything. What do 315 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: they think about each other? And how are they different 316 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: from each other? And if you're gonna ask for the 317 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: most powerful job in the world and the nuclear codes, 318 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: you should be able to take people coming at you 319 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: on stage and fund of millions and millions of audience. 320 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: I mean, conservative pundits deal with that all the time. 321 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 322 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 323 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts, Sleepy Joe Biden the other day 324 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,239 Speaker 1: had sixty eight people.

And I hear he's getting pounded tonight. 327 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: You know, he's in a debate. I hear that pounding. Year. 328 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: He spent five hundred million dollars so far and I 329 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: think he has fifteen points. It just came out, Hey, 330 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: fake news. How many points does he have right now? Fifteen? Yeah. 331 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: I love when he calls out the fake news in 332 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: the back of the room. You know why, because it 333 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: makes them so mad. Even then they have no sense 334 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: of humor about it at all. They have no sense 335 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: of self deprecation. In the corporate liberal news media, they 336 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: get very touchy about it. So I think that was 337 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: pretty fantastic when he does it. But look, you look 338 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: at the most recent, most recent polling, and you know 339 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: Sanders is at the top, Biden still is doing well, 340 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: although not well enough maybe to be the nominee. And 341 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: Bloomberg has bought himself into this very key spot, this 342 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: key position. What Warren said that she wants his cash 343 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: to be used for to help the Democrats. I could 344 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: see that happening, and that's been my concern all along. 345 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: Imagine a Sanders, let's say a Sanders Klobischar ticket, which 346 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: I think would be a very wise ticket for the 347 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: Democrats from just their perspective of trying to win and 348 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: beat Trump. I think Sanders Klobischar would make a lot 349 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: of sense if Bernie is the nominee, and then with 350 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's checkbook behind it, with some kind of a promise, 351 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's behind closed doors between Bernie and 352 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: Bloomberg that Bernie won't go full Bernie. I don't think 353 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: Bernie would make that promise, so I don't know. I 354 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: think that I think that Bloomberg has stepped into this 355 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: race more to defeat Bernie Sanders than to defeat Donald Trump. 356 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: That's that's my belief. Now he can't say that because 357 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: it would look like, you know, he's a Republican trojan 358 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: horse going into the Democratic primary. I think it's more 359 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: important to Mike Bloomberg that Bernie Sanders is not the 360 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: Democrat nominee than that Donald Trump is not president for 361 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: four more years. And I think that's pretty sound analysis 362 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: from him. I do not find that all that I 363 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: do not find that to be off at all. Obviously, 364 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: I share that if that is in fact the way 365 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: Bloomberg feels, I think that he's correct in that it's 366 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: a much bigger deal the Democrats can rally after if 367 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: Trump were to beat let's say, Biden in the in 368 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: the next election. But I don't know if the Democrats 369 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: can come back from a socialist as the as their 370 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: primary victor going up in a national election that's going 371 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: to be Unless you think that, then Bernie's movement is 372 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: picked up by Oh, I don't know, AOC play fifteen 373 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: producer Mark. I think there's a couple of reasons. One, 374 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: before people even knew who I was, like five minutes 375 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: after I won my primary, it was the Apocalypse on 376 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: Fox News. And I think it's because our political system 377 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: is not designed for people like us. They're not designed 378 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: for working people to succeed, for young people, for women, 379 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: for people of color. It's not particularly welcoming and historically 380 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: to have someone like that assent, especially when I was 381 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: running against someone who was the antithesis of those things, 382 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: to send so rapidly right, it's it's up ending. But 383 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: also I think it's because our entire political system revolves 384 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: frankly around rich men, and rich men are not the 385 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: center of my universe. Working families are. So she is 386 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: going to be the Democrat nominee at some point. I 387 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: know this is a Now she's thirty. You've got to 388 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: be thirty five to even under the constitution run for president. 389 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: But that I don't know. I guess she wouldn't be 390 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: around for the next cycle. But she'll be at the 391 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: in the next presidential cycle unless a Democrat. Think of 392 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: it this way. If a Democrat wins now in twenty twenty, 393 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be you know, AOC would 394 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: certainly try after that Democrat has had his or her 395 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: eight year run to run for president. But if Trump 396 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: wins reelection, which I certainly hope he does, AOC Bernie 397 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: will be I think even Democrats would accept that in 398 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: four more years, at age eighty two, Bernie would be 399 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: too old. Look, I think Bloomberg is too old. I 400 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: think Biden is too old. I don't understand why anyone 401 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: pretends like that's not the case. These people are too 402 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: old for the job. If Trump was eight nine years 403 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: older than he is, I mean, like, you know, I 404 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: think I'm getting up a little too old for the 405 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: job too. I mean, he's just under the wire of 406 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: what I think is feasible for age. But also, and 407 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: I'm biased, of course, but I admit, unlike the other 408 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: unlike the fake news, I admit that I'm a Trump supporter, 409 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: and then I appreciate what the president is doing, and 410 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: I am on board for and advocate for almost all 411 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: of his agenda. I mean, I really pretty much all 412 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: the agenda. I think the Trump has an incredible energy 413 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: and dynamism, and it's apparent all the time. And he 414 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: never looks like Bernie looks like at any moment, you know, 415 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: he's just gonna, like need a nap in a sippy cup. 416 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the sense you get. Biden is 417 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: like the old guy that I've been trying to get 418 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: him to take a nap and he's yelling about how 419 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: he's not tired yet. You know that That's kind of 420 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: what you get from Joe Biden. These guys are too 421 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: old AOC Buddha Judge, this is the future. This is 422 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: the future of the Democratic Party. I also have to 423 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: wonder if Buddha Judge is gonna leave Indiana and just 424 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: decide he's going to run somewhere else because really what 425 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: he the much safer play him or the much easier 426 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: play for him down the line would be to go 427 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: to a safe blue place, safe blue state and become 428 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: a congressman and then congressman or run for Senate. I mean, 429 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: look at Hillary Clinton did right Once you had that 430 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: level of national recognition, Hillary just showed up in New 431 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: York and became a center from New York. Wasn't a 432 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: New Yorker never, but yeah, it's just made it happen. 433 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: I think you'll see that with Buddha Judge, because he's 434 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: also gonna you know, you're already seeing the future of 435 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is so even if we defeat Bernie 436 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: this time around, unless it is a crushing defeat. That's 437 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: why I think that Bernie against Trump is probably a 438 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: better thing for the country because we can see that 439 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: and have the argument if Bernie loses in the primary 440 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: to i mean Biden or Bloomberg. You got to think 441 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: that the supporters that Sanders have, they're just going to 442 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: think that, and they did get screwed over by the DNC. 443 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: That's a real thing. Once again. The media as well, 444 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: not as supportive of Sanders as they are of other candidates, 445 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: and so at that point they'll just look for a 446 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: new figure to rally around for, you know, for Sandersism, 447 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, for to be a sander Nista. Sanders will 448 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: become the Lenin, if you will, of the American socialist movement, 449 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: and they'll be looking for Stalin. I mean, which shit, 450 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: I would not really stolid you get what I'm saying. 451 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: I was just playing out that analogy there. Although I 452 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: will talk to you later in the show about some 453 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: some troubling thoughts I have about wokeism and what our 454 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: future really is as a country. I saw a very 455 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: interesting piece on that one. Let's get to some of 456 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: the other important moment, because I'm gonna spend all data 457 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: down the debate. You didn't if you if you watched it, 458 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: you've already seen a lot of or you already know 459 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: some of what I'm gonna be pointing out to you. 460 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: And I think there are other things to talk about, 461 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: including Roger Stone verdict I'm sorry, sentencing. We already have 462 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: the verdict, obviously, the sentencing of Roger Stone, the verdict 463 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: on his sentence. You could say, here is what I 464 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: think was the single you know the single moment that 465 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: Mayor Pete had where he also went after Sanders and 466 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: was somewhat memorable, and that he's pointing out, like, guys, this, 467 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: this person's a socialist. This is the Democratic Party. You 468 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: got a socialist running for president who's winning. Right now, 469 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: play three. We could wake up two weeks from today, 470 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: the day after Super Tuesday, and the only candidates left 471 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: standing will be Bernie Sanders and Mike Bloomberg, the two 472 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: most polarizing figures on this stage, and most Americans don't 473 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: see where they fit. If they've got to choose between 474 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: a socialist who thinks that capitalism is the root of 475 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: all evil and a billionaire who thinks that money ought 476 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: to be the root of all power. Let's put forward 477 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: somebody who actually lives and works in a middle class 478 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: neighborhood in an industrial Midwestern city. Let's put forward somebody 479 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: who's actually a Democrat, actually a Democrat. That's a clear 480 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: swype ed Bernie Sanders, and I think it should be 481 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: a more effective one. Except the Democratic Party really now 482 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: is whether they will admit it or not, whether they 483 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: will accept it or not, the Democratic Party is increasingly 484 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: a socialist party. That's where this is now that that's 485 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: where their policies are directed. They are in the business 486 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: of bringing socialism to the United States, and that's where 487 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: I think Bloomberg's strongest points last night were just you 488 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: guys are crazy, right, you will understand that. I mean, 489 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: you know, the Sanders Warren Boodha judge on policy, Booda 490 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: judge seems you know, he's very polished and former McKinsey 491 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: consultants and all the rest. He seems like a guy 492 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: that would be reasonable based on tone, based on policy, 493 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: is not even the least bit reasonable. And when he does, 494 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: when he does his Pope Pete routine, I lose my mind. 495 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: Bloomberg was trying to just yell this. I think he's 496 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: trying to do the Democrat. He thinks he's doing the 497 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: Democratic Party a huge favor, if anything, just by stopping 498 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders from being the nominee. I do believe that 499 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: he if Biden, let's say, we're all kind of counting 500 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: Biden now this one. I've been counting him out all along, 501 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: but I'll just say it is too early, based on 502 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: numbers and based on polling to say Biden's a no 503 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: go there's no doubt in my mind that Bloomberg will 504 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: will put his cash behind a Biden candidacy to help 505 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: defeed Trump. So you got to remember that means that 506 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: Biden's effectively going to be running with an unlimited checkbook, 507 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: and Biden will be able to, you know, the whole 508 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: all the time, spend fundraising everything else. That it's going 509 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: to change the whole game. So we have to take 510 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: very seriously that Donald Trump is going to have some 511 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: real competition here. It's going to be closer than maybe 512 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: we had anticipated, and it was going to and it's 513 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: always going to be close because of the way the 514 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: system currently is in the polarization in our politics. But 515 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: Bloomberg is trying to warn them, you put a socialist 516 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: up there, guys, it's not going to be good play 517 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: for I don't think there's any chance of the senator 518 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: beating President Trump if you don't start out by saying, 519 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: I've got to written sixty million people, I'm going to 520 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: take away the insurance plan that they love. That's just 521 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: not a ways that you go and start building the 522 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: coalition that the Sanders camp thinks that they can do. 523 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any chance whatsoever, and if he 524 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: goes and is the candidate, we will have Donald Trump 525 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: for another four years. I think he's probably right, But 526 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: I know some very smart conservatives who would argue till 527 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: they're blue in the face that Bernie Sanders is the 528 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: only one who will really be able to defeat Donald Trump. 529 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: Until you run the experiment, you don't know what the 530 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: results are. I fall in the Bloomberg analysis here on 531 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: that side, I think that he's correct that Bernie Sanders 532 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: gets crushed because Americans don't really want a socialist to 533 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: be the president, and Bernie Sanders, unlike much of the 534 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, is premised on telling people things when you 535 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: want them to vote for you, and then not really 536 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: believing those things or acting on those things the moment 537 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: that the votes are cast and now they're in power. 538 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: Democrats do a lot of head fakes. They do a 539 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: lot of disingenuous this is who we are outreach when 540 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: it's really not who they are. You know, a lot 541 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: of the ways that they position different candidates, especially in 542 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: states that are that are purple or where there's a 543 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: large base of Republican voters, is to allow them to 544 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: just be close enough to close enough to the mainstream 545 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: that they can get away with an election time and 546 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they're in lockstep with Nancy 547 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: Pelosi or in lockstep with Chuck Schumer on all legislative issues. 548 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: That's very very that's a very common theme among among 549 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: the Democrats. Sanders dispenses with that, and he's like, no, 550 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: I'm a socialist, like really an actual capital s oh 551 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: c h. Speaking of having so surely speaking of having 552 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: a difficult time with trivia and spelling and getting things right. Um, 553 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Bernie Sanders obviously knows how to spell socialist. 554 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: He is a socialist. He's probably got a tattooed somewhere 555 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: on his you know, on his arm or something. Senator 556 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: klobaschar to Buddha Judge. This was it after Kloba Shar 557 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: forgot in an interview who the President of Mexico was. 558 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: Please play twenty one. But you're staking your candidacy on 559 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: your Washington experience. You're on the committee that oversees border security, 560 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: You're on the committee that does trade. You're literally in 561 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: part of the committee that's overseeing these things. And we're 562 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: not able to speak to literally the first thing about 563 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: the politics of the country ourselves. Are you trying to 564 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: say that I'm dumb? Are you mocking me here? I 565 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: made an error. People sometimes forget names. I am the 566 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: one that has number one, has the experience based on 567 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: passing over one thing. If I could respond, this was 568 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: a pretty big a colligation. He's basically saying that I 569 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: don't have the experience to be president of the United States. 570 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: I have passed over one hundred bills as the lead 571 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: Democrat since being in the US Senate. I am the one, 572 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: not you, that has won statewide in congressional district after 573 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: congressional district. And I will say, when you tried in Indiana, 574 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: Pete to run what happened to you? You lost by 575 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: over twenty points to someone who later lost to my 576 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: friend Joe Donnelly. So don't tell me about experience. The 577 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: gloves came off both sides there, the gloves came off. 578 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: I was surprised Democrat debate made for good viewing. You're 579 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: in the Freedom Heart. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 580 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: Help you've heard what his defense was, I'd been nice 581 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: to some women. That just doesn't cut it. The mayor 582 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: has to stand up on his record and what we 583 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: need to know is exactly what's lurking out there. He 584 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: has gotten some number of women, dozens who knows, to 585 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: sign non disclosure agreements both for sexual harassment and for 586 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: gender discrimination in the workplace. So, mister mayor, are you 587 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: willing to release all of those women from those non 588 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: disclosure agreements so we can hear their side of the story. 589 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: We have a very few non disclosure agreements. How many? 590 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,479 Speaker 1: Let me finish? How many is there? None of them 591 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: accused me of doing anything other than maybe they didn't 592 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: like a joke I told, And let me just put 593 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: and let me put. These agreements between two parties that 594 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: wanted to keep it quiet, and that's up to them. 595 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: They signed those agreements and we'll live with it. So wait, wait, 596 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: media is all over this. I know we got to 597 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: this topic earlier in the hour, but I meant to 598 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: play that sound by free and I skiped over. That 599 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: was where she really that was where she really went 600 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: for it. Yeah, that was where Tomahawk went swinging. She 601 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: decided that she was going to go after Bloomberg there, 602 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 1: and he didn't sound particularly good at all in the defense. 603 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: No question's like you know, helped people. They signed the agreements. 604 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 1: And but let's also remember Bloomberg runs a huge company, 605 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people that work in that company, 606 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: and we know that he's made crude craft chokes. We 607 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: also know that Bernie Sanders wrote some bizarre stuff about 608 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: women back in the day. I just don't know how 609 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: much anyone's really going to care about this. The media 610 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: cares about it tremendously, and they're viewing this as the 611 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: huge achilles heel that was exposed during the debate by Bloomberg. 612 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: During the debate, When it comes from Bloomberg, I think 613 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: that everyone will forget this one in a day or two, 614 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: because that attack really only works on Republicans, you know, 615 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: with mid Romney and his binders full of women. And 616 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: I don't think that it as strong as the Democrat 617 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: media likes to pretend it is, because they're also full 618 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: of political correctness and wokeness and all the rest of it. 619 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they have a good gauge of what 620 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: the damage is from that. But we'll see. We'll see 621 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: that that was Bloomberg's worst moment, though I wonder if 622 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: that was when it ever Oh everybody, I was wondering 623 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: if Minnie Mike was gonna scurry off stage left, so 624 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: we'll see.

Roger Stone got forty months 627 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: in federal prison. Three years, four months all together. All right, 628 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: let's let's dive into this one together, my friend. Shall 629 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: We know that the Libs are going to say this 630 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: is not justice, and not because they think that Roger 631 00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: Stone is innocent or should get any mercy. They really 632 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: convinced themselves that, you know, he should go to prison 633 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: for like seven eight years federal prison. That's a long 634 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: time to spend in prison. You know, think about your 635 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: own life, go back in time eight years and think 636 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 1: about everything that's transpired between now and then you spend 637 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: all that in a sell for eight years. I mean, 638 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: that's what Blagoyevitch just served. And he is a changed, 639 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: changed man, that is for sure. He has been through 640 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: some stuff. Roger Stone going to prison for over three 641 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 1: years is in my opinion, which I guess I share 642 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: with you freely because this is an opinion and analysis 643 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: show is really is really a travesty. I mean This 644 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: is a guy who if it weren't for the frenzy 645 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,319 Speaker 1: around Russia collusion and the hatred of Trump and all 646 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: this other crazy stuff, this could have even been deferred prosecution. 647 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: In my opinion, this could have been deferred prosecutions. When 648 00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: you go and you meet with the prosecutors, they're like, look, 649 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: we've got you. We know you're guilty, and you're going 650 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: to sign some stuff, but we're not gonna We're not 651 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: gonna go forward with this. But if you do anything else, 652 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: we retain the right to throw this in at you 653 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: and the other thing that you do. So it's essentially 654 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: like a warning. And by the way, I think that 655 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: deferred prosecution for nonviolent offenders should be much more common 656 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: than it is for a lot of a lot of 657 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: financial crimes and things like this. I think that especially, 658 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, if you don't have a person who can 659 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 1: sit in a courtroom and convince you that either he 660 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: or she or you know, their counsel, convince you that 661 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: there's a human being who has really been hurt by 662 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: something that has been done, or the government can't sit 663 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: down and tell you, you know, this was really important 664 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: and this was really bad. This thing that was done 665 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: to the government putting people in prison. You gotta wonder 666 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: why exactly we're doing that. I mean, you got to 667 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: ask yourself what are we doing here? So that's what 668 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: I would say. Roger Stone, whom I've interviewed before and 669 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: I think is a very interesting character, and I feel 670 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: badly too, because you know, he's he's theatrical, and I 671 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: think he got a little ahead of his skis on 672 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,800 Speaker 1: this one and didn't realize quite the viciousness of the 673 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,320 Speaker 1: people that he was dealing with with these special with 674 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: the special counsel prosecutors, who were Democrat operatives, that's what 675 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: they are. I mean, they came into this not looking 676 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: for justice but to destroy Trump and everyone around him. 677 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: And fortunately for Trump, he didn't do anything. And he's 678 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 1: also the president, so they couldn't get him on anything 679 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: that was a true violation, a true crime, and they 680 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: couldn't even get him on a real process crime. Thankfully, 681 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,439 Speaker 1: the President did not testify to them because they would 682 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: have tried to trip him up on some minor facto 683 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: it And we know there's no sense of balance, there's 684 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: no sense of justice between the left and the right 685 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,839 Speaker 1: anymore on these issues. If you're a Republican and you law, 686 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: you go to prison. It's terrible, It's super important, and 687 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 1: we should all condemn the person. If you're a Democrat 688 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: and you lie, was it really a lie? Does it 689 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: really matter? Did we really need to hear more about this? 690 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: I think we should just move on, you know, like 691 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: move on dot org an organization started to get us. 692 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: You just move on past Bill Clinton lying under oath 693 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: and being impeached and the whole thing. So you know, 694 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: that's they play the move on game. Meanwhile, we have 695 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: to look at this and say, people keep claiming that 696 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: Trump is an authoritarian, and yet all I see are 697 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: person after person who signed up to help Trump with 698 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:38,320 Speaker 1: is incredibly effective and an excellent administration, which is what 699 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: I would say we have seen for now going into 700 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: the fourth year of this Trump presidency, that people that 701 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: went in to do that, they get crushed. They are 702 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: put through the ringer, bankrupted, put in prison, prosecuted, investigate 703 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: all these things happen to them. And Democrat after Democrat 704 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,760 Speaker 1: who either separate Trump Russia collusion stuff, breaks the law Hillary, 705 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: or in the course of trying to destroy Trump, broke 706 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: the law, did things that were unethical, did things that 707 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: should be punished. We're told nope, sorry, there's there's some 708 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: interpretation of the statute that's not that's not written in 709 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: the words of the law. But we libs can find 710 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: some way to you know, it's it's in there. It's 711 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: an implied change to the statute because we say so, 712 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they end up doing. This is 713 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: what they did with Hillary in the emails, Hillary in 714 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: the email situation. There's no way that you can believe 715 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: the word reckless has any meaning when it comes to 716 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: handling classified information and not think the Secretary of State 717 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: using a private, unsecured email account for classified information storage 718 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: and transfer is not reckless. Over one hundred counts or 719 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: one hundred instances of that you cannot make if reckless 720 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: is a word. With meeting that was reckless. But James 721 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: Comey assures us that nobody would have been prosecuted under that. 722 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: I ask you this, who committed a bigger offense, who 723 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: put the country at greater risk, who showed a greater 724 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 1: willingness to ignore, ignore the gravity of what the government's 725 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: interests were. A sitting secretary of State who sets up 726 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 1: a private email server allows for the trafficking of some 727 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: very highly classified information on that email server, is sending 728 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: that to other people on their emails, and then tries 729 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,240 Speaker 1: to cover it up, tries to destroy evidence, smashes hard drives, uses, 730 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,320 Speaker 1: these hard drive wipe programs, all of which all this 731 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: information you should have been her subpoena. And that's what 732 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: we found out of Hillary Clinton, that this had all happened. 733 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 1: Do you look at Roger Stone, what exactly is the 734 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: line to Congress? Which I'm sorry, Why was James Clapper 735 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: able to say that there was no mass surveillance going 736 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,879 Speaker 1: on of a of Americans? How I is he able 737 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: to say that? James Clapper legally could have said when 738 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 1: asked Congress, I cannot discuss that in this venue, and 739 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: he'd be fine. That's you're allowed to do that. That's 740 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 1: protecting executive branch equities and classified information in a public forum. 741 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,800 Speaker 1: But are you allowed to lie to Congress because you 742 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: think that you're doing that other thing? Where does that? 743 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: Where does that stop and start? That's what I would 744 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,280 Speaker 1: want to know. Clapper's not getting prosecuted line to Congress. 745 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: That's the charge that they're hitting Roger Stone with and 746 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: witness tampering, you know, Stone was being an idiot. You know, 747 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,919 Speaker 1: it was dumb. It was a dumb thing to First 748 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: of all, he's an idiot because you never put these 749 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: things in writing, all right, Not that I'm trying to 750 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 1: help you guys with your witness tab break, but you 751 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: never text someone or DM them anything that could, under 752 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: any circumstances be used by a lawyer a prosecutor against you. 753 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 1: Do it over the phone. Now, that wouldn't have saved Blagoyevich, 754 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: but at least you got a chance. If you're putting it, 755 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: if you're typing it out, then then you're going to 756 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: be in an interrupt spot. But the two tiered justice 757 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 1: system at work once again here what the Rogerstone sentencing 758 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: is is troubling. And Democrats like this. They're not they 759 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: don't feel icky about any of this. They think that, yeah, 760 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: it's totally fair that Paul Manafort was sentenced to not 761 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: not only a lengthy prison term, but was put in 762 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: solitary confinement by this judge, Amy Amy Berman Jackson, the 763 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,320 Speaker 1: same judge overseeing the Rogerstone trial put Manafort in solitary 764 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: You see, this is where the swamp is a much 765 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: more important part of the story than people realize you 766 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: have in DC some swampy judges, swampy prosecutors, and a 767 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 1: swampy jury pool. Because Washington, d c. Has become a 768 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:53,840 Speaker 1: stronghold of the left. It votes ninety five percent Democrat 769 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: in presidential elections. It's not a place where if you're 770 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: associated with Trump, you're gonna get a fair trial and 771 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: anything having to do with the administration. That's where you're 772 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: going to get this trial. And maybe some of it 773 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: will be in the Eastern District of Virginia and Alexandria, 774 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: but you're going to get it in the DC Federal Court. 775 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: So this judge already showed that there's an animus against 776 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: Trump by by putting Rogers, I mean Roger Stone, Paul Menaford, 777 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: and solitary confinement. That's that's crazy, that's crazy. We should 778 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 1: all be able to recognize that as insane. But she did. 779 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: She did. They also sent remember this, the FBI did 780 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: a no knock pre five am or pre dawn, I 781 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: should say, raid on Manaford's house, the same thing if 782 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 1: they ended up doing to Roger Stone. Does anyone think 783 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: that that would have happened to any of the Democrats 784 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: that have been involved did anyone show up with long 785 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 1: guns to James Comey's house or McCabe's house and say, 786 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: you know you're under arrest. Nope, there's a pattern here. 787 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: They say. Trump is the authoritarian, but authoritarians don't allow 788 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: people in their orbit to get destroyed by the government 789 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: that the authoritarian is presiding over because the opposition to 790 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: that authoritarian doesn't like his people. This is the This 791 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: is like saying, oh, you know, Trump is the king 792 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: and he lets all of his courtiers just go get 793 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 1: thrown in the deepest, darkest dungeon by the royal prosecutor, 794 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: because that makes no sense. Right, If you're the king, 795 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 1: if you're so powerful and you get whatever you want, 796 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: you're not going to allow the people who work for you, 797 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: who are your close advisors, that you care about, that 798 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: you like, that you have relationship. Now Stone doesn't really 799 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,359 Speaker 1: fit in that category, but he's considered a long time 800 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: Trump advisor. You're not going to let them get destroyed 801 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 1: by the government that you have power over him. The 802 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: President said that he's the chief law enforcement officer, and 803 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 1: there was all this hahaha from stupid journalist because journalists 804 00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: now journalists and are all all just concerned with virtue signaling, wokeness, 805 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 1: what their Twitter game is like, and what they look 806 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: like on MSNBC, and you know, that's that's what it's 807 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: all about. What other journalists think of them as the 808 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: prime motivation for what most of their work is. It's 809 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: not being learned, it's not being particularly insightful, or it's 810 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,800 Speaker 1: certainly not being wise. It's a vapid and create a 811 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 1: vapid profession. And the worst are the TV journalists. I 812 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 1: mean they're they're actually the worst because most of them 813 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 1: are just you know, I'm just rating off our prompt ard, 814 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 1: I don't know anything. A bunch of idiots. So Roger 815 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: Stone's going away. I mean this under the circumstances, I 816 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 1: think I probably said on the show, although I don't 817 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 1: want to start saying I've made predictions that I didn't make. 818 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: There are some other radio hosts who do that. I 819 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,919 Speaker 1: try to keep it real. I think that I said 820 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: it would be I've definitely said to other people that 821 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 1: it would be about three years. Two to three years 822 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: sounded about right to me for what the sentence would be. 823 00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: That means he's serving. Remember there's no parole, he's serving 824 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: the full sentence. He's going to go away unless there's 825 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: another possibility here. And you all know where I'm going 826 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 1: on this one. Who wants to play pardon Roger Stone? 827 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: That could be next. And I think that I think 828 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: that a pardon would be I will say, I think 829 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: a pardon would send the wrong message. You know Stone, 830 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,400 Speaker 1: what he did was buffoonish and um and I you 831 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,399 Speaker 1: know this is where this is where being a real 832 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,919 Speaker 1: human being that cares about other human beings and having 833 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 1: a sense of justice matters. You know, I don't want 834 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,439 Speaker 1: I don't think Jesse's small Let, for example, despite all 835 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 1: of his vanity and stupidity and duplicity and everything else. 836 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,400 Speaker 1: All right, people are rust you small. Let you go 837 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: to prison for fifteen years, Jesse small Let should you know, 838 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 1: probably have to spend you know, two weeks in county 839 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 1: jail and one hundred thousand dollars fine, but admit his 840 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: guilt and apologize public. I mean, that's that's getting to 841 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 1: what I think justice would be for the whole thing. 842 00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: Oh and of course, pay the whatever the fees were 843 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,840 Speaker 1: that were run up by the City of Chicago for 844 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,319 Speaker 1: the hoaks. You should pay that. Maybe spent a week 845 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: or two in a you know, county lock up. Nothing 846 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 1: too scary, and you have to admit that he's guilty. 847 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I think would be. That's a 848 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 1: fair punishment, right, I'm not saying that people shouldn't be 849 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 1: punished at all. That's a fair punishment. Roger Stone. If 850 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: I were in charge of this and I felt like 851 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: he had to be prosecuted, I would say, Okay, look, 852 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna ask for no jail time, but 853 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a felony on your record, and you know, 854 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 1: don't ever if you do anything else, we're sending you 855 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 1: away and we're gonna give you We're gonna give you 856 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,399 Speaker 1: the upper end of whatever the guidelines are of that offense, 857 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 1: because we're gonna take this into account. That seems to 858 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 1: me to be fair. Nine years is crazy for what 859 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just I mean, the fact that that 860 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,399 Speaker 1: was even raised by these prosecutors just goes to show 861 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 1: you their Democrat, their Democrat scalphunters and they're trying to 862 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,320 Speaker 1: take down anybody near Trump. And that was bar. Attorney 863 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: General Barr was absolutely correct to bring to rein that 864 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,919 Speaker 1: in bring that back a bit and Okay, so three 865 00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: three plus years. It's harsh. It's you know, it's harsh, 866 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 1: but it's about what I would have expected under the circumstances. 867 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 1: He should get a new trial if he wants one, 868 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 1: because the jury foreman is an anti Trumper. This brings 869 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: you back to the swamp situation of DC, where if 870 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 1: you're a Trump associate, you can't get a fair trial 871 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 1: in the People's Republic of Washington, DC. You can't everyone 872 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 1: in DC. And this is one thing about that place. 873 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: I'll say, you know, I'm here in New York City 874 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: and I'm on the subway four times a day now, 875 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,319 Speaker 1: so I'm spending a lot of time, you know, out 876 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,839 Speaker 1: and about in the city in contact with all kinds 877 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: of folks. And the thing I like about in New 878 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: York is that, yeah, this place is full of Libs, 879 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,839 Speaker 1: but there's some conservatives hiding here and there. It's full 880 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: of Libs, but everyone's just in the hustle trying to 881 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: make money to pay the outrageous rents here and feed 882 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,360 Speaker 1: themselves in their families, and they're focused more on that. 883 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 1: In DC, it's a lot of you know, what are 884 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 1: your politics, sir? It's like the first question people will 885 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,320 Speaker 1: ask you. It's much more focused on it for obvious reasons. 886 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 1: And that also means that people feel very connected to 887 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,880 Speaker 1: their their political affiliation and if they have the opportunity 888 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 1: to be a hero to their peer group by crushing 889 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 1: somebody who's even associated with Donald Trump, DC natives love 890 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,920 Speaker 1: to do that. That makes them very happy, very excited. 891 00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 1: And that's why the foreman on the Roger Stone jury 892 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: trial is just an indicative of a broader problem there. 893 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: And Stone should get a new trial, but does he 894 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 1: want one? Is he really going to get a much 895 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,040 Speaker 1: better sentence from another judge? Does he want to go 896 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 1: through this again? Does he want to go through the 897 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 1: expense again? And I don't know, but Judge Jackson here 898 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: just decided to go forward with us. He doesn't care. 899 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, we're gonna do the sentencing. We're not 900 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 1: even going to look into this form in situation. We're 901 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 1: just going to go forward. So I think that there's 902 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,880 Speaker 1: a clear bias and one of the they talk so 903 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,799 Speaker 1: much on the left about our sacred institutions and our democracy. 904 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,759 Speaker 1: It's a reminder for us that all this stuff, this 905 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 1: stuff only works. You know, this government we have only 906 00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,839 Speaker 1: works if we can agree on some very basic thing, 907 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 1: is like the plain meaning of language, particularly in statutes, 908 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,880 Speaker 1: but the plain meaning of language that words do have 909 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 1: meaning that we can all understand that it doesn't change 910 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,800 Speaker 1: just based upon what someone wants it to be, and 911 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: that respecting the system means respecting it when outcomes happen 912 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 1: that you don't like and still saying, Okay, I didn't 913 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 1: get what I wanted, but it was within this say, 914 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 1: within the framework of what our government is supposed to do. 915 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 1: Libs have abandoned that. They've abandoned it whatever, whatever it is, 916 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 1: whether it's the electoral College or Supreme Court judges, or 917 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: you name it. If they're not getting what they want, 918 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: they want to change the rules or scrap the whole 919 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 1: thing and do something else. That's their approach. You're in 920 00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 921 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: Something else that I don't want to leave off the 922 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 1: table here, my friends, we were told for the last 923 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,839 Speaker 1: week or so that the Attorney General of the United 924 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 1: States should resolve you must resign, sir. We were told that, 925 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 1: we were told that he was in Trump's pocket, that 926 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 1: he was destroying the office of the Attorney General with 927 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,240 Speaker 1: his corruption, and yet this judge, who was no friend 928 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 1: of Republicans or Trump. Well, that's clear. This judge gave 929 00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 1: a sentence that was right in line with the reduced 930 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 1: request from the DOJ. So was Attorney General bar right 931 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 1: all along? Yeah? Yeah he was. But what do you 932 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 1: think is going to happen now? For all the libs 933 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,840 Speaker 1: out there, all the people in media, look oh the 934 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: Attorney general. Look how he intervened and he did all 935 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 1: this terrible stuff. So what really happened now that we 936 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:46,040 Speaker 1: have the full story is the Attorney General had people 937 00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 1: who are his employees at the Department of Justice shift around. Remember, 938 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: the judge can impose whatever sentence she wants, right, the 939 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 1: judge can say it's more, it's less. This judge just 940 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 1: happened to give a sentence right in the bullseye of 941 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: the reduced request from DJ. Is that because is a 942 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 1: Trump bought two or was that realistic? And therefore the 943 00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 1: initial request from the Russia collusion deranged prosecutors that ask 944 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,320 Speaker 1: for seven to nine years was outrageous. Now we know 945 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:27,360 Speaker 1: the answer. Who looks smarter those of us who supported 946 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 1: the reduced sentencing request and said that Bill Barr had 947 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,920 Speaker 1: done nothing wrong, or the people that are saying, oh, 948 00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 1: the Republic is in flames because look what they're bailing 949 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,799 Speaker 1: out another Trump Ally, all that noise you heard from 950 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:43,360 Speaker 1: people in the media, you're just partisan morons. Thanks for 951 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:47,160 Speaker 1: listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe 952 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get 953 00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:56,520 Speaker 1: your podcasts. I think Internet culture can often be very toxic, 954 00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,040 Speaker 1: and whether we are cognizance of it or not, it 955 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,720 Speaker 1: nearly always concentrates on women, people of color, were people, 956 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: and we experience the brunt of it. And I think, 957 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, I think that to a certain extent, you know, 958 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 1: we have to always rejects hate, reject vitriol, and denounce 959 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 1: that kind of behavior. Also, you know, we also know 960 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 1: the amount of anonymous activity that happens on the Internet, 961 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 1: and that simply is difficult. It is difficult to control 962 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,800 Speaker 1: when you have like a you know, a a Twitter 963 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 1: handle with a bunch of numbers on it, with two 964 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 1: followers that are lobbying vitriol at you. We don't know 965 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,880 Speaker 1: where that comes from, but I know that it doesn't 966 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,359 Speaker 1: cost on enough paint to try and stop it. Yeah, 967 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,319 Speaker 1: I think he works very hard. I think we send 968 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,800 Speaker 1: out so we send out messaging emails and you know 969 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 1: what it's I've been subject to a lot of this 970 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 1: stuff from all sorts of the all sorts of pockets 971 00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 1: from the Internet. I some CBP officers targeted me on 972 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 1: Facebook for attacks when I want to visit the border. 973 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,319 Speaker 1: This is aoc on the Bernie bros. Who have been 974 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 1: getting more attention recently because other Democrats are realizing, Wow, 975 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: Bernie has a lot of psychopath supporters, a lot of them. 976 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,440 Speaker 1: Some of this came out when James O'Keefe did his 977 00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 1: Project Veritas videos and you had people talking about rolling 978 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,279 Speaker 1: out the guillotine and how you know, we're going to 979 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,839 Speaker 1: eat the rich, and that was of course dismissed as 980 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:37,719 Speaker 1: just the rantings of a few unimportant campaign employees and 981 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 1: that really, you know, Bernie is all about love and 982 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 1: rejects hate. This is one of the constant Democrat refrains 983 00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 1: that I find the most troubling because it's so untrue, 984 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 1: and yet they believe it. They really think that they 985 00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 1: are not hateful, even though they will direct at the 986 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 1: present of the United States the following accusations that he 987 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,279 Speaker 1: is and you know that I'm not exaggerating any of this. 988 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,200 Speaker 1: This has all been said by prominent voices on the left, 989 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,319 Speaker 1: not repudiated. People don't shout down other Democrats and other 990 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: leftist when they say these things. They've called the president 991 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:24,759 Speaker 1: a traitor, a white nationalist, a racist, a rapist, demented, 992 00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:29,480 Speaker 1: like actually out of his mind? What am I leaving? Oh, 993 00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,360 Speaker 1: of course, corrupt, and all these other things that are lesser. 994 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 1: But when you're calling people things like a traitor and 995 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 1: a rapist and you have no evidence for either of 996 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 1: those things, no evidence to a reasonable person for either 997 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,800 Speaker 1: of those things at all. I mean, if you believe 998 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 1: like sweat Nick about Kavanaugh, well then you'll believe anything. 999 00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 1: And you're not very bright, and you could believe that, 1000 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, I had dinner with Elvis last night. But people, 1001 00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,120 Speaker 1: unfortunately this country, do believe stuff like that. A lot 1002 00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,840 Speaker 1: of Democrats do believe things that are quite viously false 1003 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 1: and still think they're very bright and very sophisticated. That's 1004 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 1: a big part of being a Democrat, as you're sophisticated 1005 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, even though you believe that you know 1006 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:15,840 Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon and who's that. 1007 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 1: Who's that guy? I was gonna say, Phil Donahue, that's 1008 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 1: an old talk show. Who's the Irish guy on Forgetting? 1009 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: They know, stop the hammering? That guy on Stop the 1010 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 1: hammer You know he's the guy from Boston. Anyway, he's 1011 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,760 Speaker 1: on MSNBC. I can't remember his name right now. Chris o'donald, 1012 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 1: Lawrence O'Donnell. That's gonna say Chris O'Donnell. He was in 1013 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 1: a very bad Batman movie back in the day. For 1014 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: those of you who have seen some of the bad 1015 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 1: Batman movies, they're almost worth watching just because they're so terrible. 1016 00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 1: The ones that were in between the Michael Keaton era 1017 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 1: and the Christian Bale era, there were some Batman movies 1018 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:54,840 Speaker 1: that even even they wish they could forget. So they think, 1019 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 1: I know, I got diverted there for a moment. They 1020 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 1: think that the left thinks that they don't don't hate people, 1021 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,560 Speaker 1: but they say these things about Trump, and they also 1022 00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,240 Speaker 1: say that if you support Trump, you are therefore supporting 1023 00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,080 Speaker 1: these things, and so it's fair to say these things 1024 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 1: about you too. And I mean, I can tell you 1025 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,400 Speaker 1: that liberals love to whine about the mean things said 1026 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: about them on the Internet, and they claim that it's 1027 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 1: because they fall into marginalized groups whatever, whichever specific marginalized group. 1028 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:24,560 Speaker 1: And I can see and tell you, I mean, the 1029 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:28,000 Speaker 1: things that far left wing people right and say to 1030 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 1: me on the Internet are are beyond appalling. I mean, 1031 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,680 Speaker 1: it's a combination of disturbing and really sad at the 1032 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,040 Speaker 1: same time. And I don't even get the worst of it, 1033 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 1: because I mean, I have I have friends againservative media 1034 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,840 Speaker 1: who they just they're numb to all the death threats 1035 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:45,480 Speaker 1: at this point. They're not just death threats against them, 1036 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 1: but death threats against their families and people are completely insane. 1037 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,520 Speaker 1: And I think that there should be much more stringent 1038 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 1: enforcement of uh, you know, communicating an interstate threat against somebody, 1039 00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 1: and I think that that should be something that's taken 1040 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:03,880 Speaker 1: really seriously. Unfortunately it's not usually taken very seriously. But 1041 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,520 Speaker 1: for liberals to claim in the current environment that they 1042 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:13,600 Speaker 1: reject hate, their entire platform right now is really about 1043 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,040 Speaker 1: believing that everyone who supports Trump is hateful, and they 1044 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,960 Speaker 1: don't see how that is in and of itself a 1045 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 1: hateful position. They don't care that many people that support 1046 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,120 Speaker 1: Trump just wanted an end to politicians talking to us 1047 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,560 Speaker 1: all like we're robots. They don't care that. A lot 1048 00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 1: of people who support Trump just think that we should 1049 00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,600 Speaker 1: have national sovereignty and a secure border. And the American people, 1050 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 1: as seen through their legislature that does have laws that 1051 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,280 Speaker 1: say that this is not okay. The American people should 1052 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,240 Speaker 1: have a say in who comes and goes from their country, 1053 00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,160 Speaker 1: and the laws are the way that you can enact that. 1054 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 1: Enforcing those laws, or that you just want to robust economy, 1055 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 1: or you want someone to stand up to China and trade. No, 1056 00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 1: they tell their followers. The Democrat narrative is that if 1057 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 1: you support or Trump, you are in bedwidth effectively a 1058 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:07,439 Speaker 1: white nationalist, a neo Nazi, and they think that there's 1059 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,480 Speaker 1: not going to be really severe long term consequences from this. 1060 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 1: They think that they're the ones that reject hate. Here, 1061 01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:20,600 Speaker 1: by the way, is how Bernie Sanders responds. He responded 1062 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 1: the last night of the debates age about the Bernie Bros. 1063 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,480 Speaker 1: Who are notorious. I mean, for example, the group on 1064 01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 1: the internet, the Young Turks. Some of the worst people 1065 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:35,480 Speaker 1: that are in media work for that organization, and they're 1066 01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,600 Speaker 1: Bernie Bros. I mean, they're they're Bernie people. Some of 1067 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,160 Speaker 1: the nastiest libs you'll come across on Twitter are are 1068 01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 1: Bernie people. And I don't think that's an accident. I 1069 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:48,400 Speaker 1: think it's because Bernie Sanders appeals to envy and the 1070 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:57,960 Speaker 1: a combination of revolutionary sanctimoniousness and revolutionary nihilism, like tear 1071 01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 1: it all down, because we are the saviors we've been 1072 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 1: waiting for, and if you get in a way, we'll 1073 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,320 Speaker 1: crush you, because we're going to bring about utopia. That 1074 01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:10,880 Speaker 1: standard socialist thinking stretching back for now over one hundred 1075 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 1: and fifty years, they've always thought that anybody who wasn't 1076 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 1: with the program was an enemy of the class based 1077 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 1: warfare that they want to engage in, and that so 1078 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 1: that's not really new or different anyway. Bernie Sanders, though, 1079 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 1: in confronted with this, I thought this was really interesting. 1080 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 1: Just shows you the depth of some of the delusions 1081 01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 1: that Democrats still hold to, some of the depth of 1082 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,800 Speaker 1: the narrative that they still cling to and believe about 1083 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 1: Russia collusion. Here is what Bernie said about his Bernie 1084 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,200 Speaker 1: Brows being a bunch of psychos that harass people online. 1085 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,640 Speaker 1: Play twelve. Let me say something else about this not 1086 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 1: being too paranoid. All of us remember two thousand and sixteen, 1087 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 1: and what we meant, what we remember is efforts by 1088 01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,440 Speaker 1: Russians and others to try to interfere in our election 1089 01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:02,480 Speaker 1: and divide us. I'm not saying that's happening, but it 1090 01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,080 Speaker 1: would not shock me. I saw some of those tweets 1091 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,600 Speaker 1: regarding the Culinary Workers Union. I mean, I'm not saying 1092 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 1: that the Russians. You know, we're pretending to be my supporters, 1093 01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 1: but I'm not saying that this is This is now though, 1094 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:23,560 Speaker 1: the the end result of the media telling everybody for 1095 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,200 Speaker 1: three years in this country that the Russians stole the election, 1096 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,919 Speaker 1: and you know, the Russian Russian hackers are basically hiding 1097 01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 1: under your bed at night. You should be terrified about 1098 01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 1: what the Russians are up to all the time. Russians 1099 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:36,160 Speaker 1: are stealing our democracy, Russians are doing this, Russians are 1100 01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:41,440 Speaker 1: doing that. Just just shocking stuff for a presidential contender 1101 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:45,320 Speaker 1: to say. But they will continue to say this. They 1102 01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 1: will stick to this script because otherwise they'd have to 1103 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:54,680 Speaker 1: deal with is the Democratic Party increasingly embracing hateful politics. 1104 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,040 Speaker 1: I know we're a very polarized, very divisive time. But 1105 01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,560 Speaker 1: the people that I know who are Trump supporters, they're 1106 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:04,440 Speaker 1: strong defenders of Trump, but they want things to continue 1107 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,040 Speaker 1: in this country, or they support things that would be 1108 01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,040 Speaker 1: good for all Americans, you know, that would actually be 1109 01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 1: objectively helpful for the American people. I know a lot 1110 01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 1: of Libs that think that policies that at least half 1111 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:21,040 Speaker 1: the country dramatically don't agree with should be rammed down 1112 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 1: our throat by the force of government because it's the 1113 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:27,000 Speaker 1: right thing for them to do. They say, that feels 1114 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,480 Speaker 1: a little bit different, And I know that this is 1115 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,320 Speaker 1: all about you know, where you sit is where you stand, 1116 01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 1: and there are differences here of perspective. And maybe if 1117 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 1: I were a leftist, I would think that the right 1118 01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,880 Speaker 1: was trying to do this. I think that that's just 1119 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 1: not really seeing what has happened where the Democratic Party. 1120 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:46,120 Speaker 1: Trump has run a presidency that is largely in line 1121 01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:51,120 Speaker 1: with his style. Is different, his tone, his messaging, but 1122 01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:57,240 Speaker 1: his actual implementation as president has been well in line 1123 01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:59,840 Speaker 1: with what you would consider to be traditional GOP norms. 1124 01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,920 Speaker 1: There's really very little that he's done that is outside 1125 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,960 Speaker 1: Remember the secure Fence active I think it was two 1126 01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 1: thousand and six was bipartisan. Both parties in Congress said yeah, 1127 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:12,720 Speaker 1: we should build a fence, and then they backed off it. 1128 01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:14,760 Speaker 1: Now building a fense makes you, you know what till 1129 01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 1: of the hun Amy Klobischer doesn't know who that is, 1130 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:22,880 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, now now doing these things 1131 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,840 Speaker 1: that used to be considered bipartisan, it makes you a 1132 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 1: terrible person. Well why is that? It's because the Democratic 1133 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,840 Speaker 1: Party has shifted so far left? Why is James Carville 1134 01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,160 Speaker 1: going on TV? I mean people say it's because he 1135 01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,000 Speaker 1: wants to be relevant. I think Carville is happy, you know, 1136 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,440 Speaker 1: hanging out in New Orleans and doing whatever he's doing 1137 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 1: down there. But why is he going on TV? And 1138 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 1: the Democratic Parties lost its mind? And Bernie Sanders, as 1139 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 1: a socialist should not be presis the United States? Because 1140 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,600 Speaker 1: they have gone they've gone nuts as a party. I 1141 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:54,320 Speaker 1: mean they've they've gone far, far, too too long in 1142 01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:58,840 Speaker 1: one direction. And so that's now where where I think 1143 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 1: we need to understand. Countries go through periods where a 1144 01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 1: political party, you know, we did. I'm not saying we're 1145 01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 1: fighting a civil war now or anything that's gonna happen, 1146 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:08,520 Speaker 1: but I mean we fought a civil war. You look 1147 01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,480 Speaker 1: in history, countries where there are political parties and you 1148 01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:15,200 Speaker 1: think that it's a vibrant democracy, they can go bad, 1149 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,920 Speaker 1: and they can go bad quickly. And some political parties 1150 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 1: that you wouldn't have thought that you would if you 1151 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 1: were a betting man, you wouldn't have said, yeah, they're 1152 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: going to be running the show there. They end up 1153 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:30,400 Speaker 1: in charge and you know, maybe the country eventually comes 1154 01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:32,440 Speaker 1: back to some degree of normalcy, but they can go 1155 01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:37,800 Speaker 1: through a very dark, dangerous, destructive period as a result 1156 01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:41,600 Speaker 1: of one party losing its way. I think the Democratic 1157 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,960 Speaker 1: Party has lost its way. I don't think that it's 1158 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,040 Speaker 1: safe for America to be entrusted to these people at all. 1159 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,760 Speaker 1: I think that they are very destructive. And I wanted 1160 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:53,960 Speaker 1: to share with you there's a letter. I'll get to 1161 01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,640 Speaker 1: it in a few moments, but I think that they've 1162 01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 1: reached a point now where then don't even know how 1163 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,600 Speaker 1: to work with the other side on a lot of 1164 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 1: this stuff. And the younger end of the Democratic Party, 1165 01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 1: when you look at Bernie supporters and other the younger 1166 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 1: end of the Democratic Party is where the most fervor is. 1167 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:15,680 Speaker 1: You know, boomers will say what they have to say 1168 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: to be that's why you know, Biden and Kolobuscher and 1169 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,320 Speaker 1: whoever they'll say. Even though I think Biden is technically 1170 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,040 Speaker 1: he's pre booming, is he? I think he's above the 1171 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 1: boomer generation age right or whatever? He's not the greatest general? 1172 01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 1: What's between? What's between boomers and the great No, I 1173 01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,440 Speaker 1: guess boomers come after the greatest generation, So he must 1174 01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 1: be a boomer. But he's an old boomer. But they'll 1175 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 1: say what they have to say in order to be 1176 01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,360 Speaker 1: in good standing with the Democratic Party. The younger end 1177 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 1: of the political spectrum these days is frightening, is frightening, 1178 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,080 Speaker 1: and that's why what you see going on with college 1179 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,800 Speaker 1: campuses and what you see happening in much of the 1180 01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,640 Speaker 1: media is I think a harbinger of things to come, 1181 01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,080 Speaker 1: in a very, very troubling one. So I want to 1182 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:00,960 Speaker 1: talk to you more about what what is the youth 1183 01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,720 Speaker 1: support of Bertie Sanders and really the youth direction of 1184 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,080 Speaker 1: the American left telling us about what our future is 1185 01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,000 Speaker 1: going to be like in this country because we are 1186 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 1: we are in a new place now. We have not 1187 01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:17,080 Speaker 1: seen this before, certainly since the nineteen sixties. You're in 1188 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,720 Speaker 1: the freedom hunt. This is the buck Sexton Show podcast. 1189 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,760 Speaker 1: It's the amount of money that you have can force 1190 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:29,400 Speaker 1: the DNC to change their rules, but the DMC would 1191 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,560 Speaker 1: not change their rules for Corey Booker, Julean Castro, Kamala Harris. 1192 01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:37,440 Speaker 1: That is a that is an actualization of power. And 1193 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:39,840 Speaker 1: we all know how I feel about billionaires. I don't 1194 01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:43,360 Speaker 1: think that in a place where sixty percent of Americans 1195 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,800 Speaker 1: can't even you know, make more than forty thousand dollars 1196 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,680 Speaker 1: a year, that the presence of a billionaire who largely 1197 01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:53,200 Speaker 1: makes their money off of businesses underpaying their workers, like Walmart, 1198 01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:56,520 Speaker 1: like Amazon, like so on, should exact she does. She 1199 01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,120 Speaker 1: has an economics degree and learn nothing. Apparently she does 1200 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 1: not understand how business works. I left out that There 1201 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:06,280 Speaker 1: was a pretty good moment last night when Bloomberg got 1202 01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,800 Speaker 1: to say, who else on the stage has started their business? 1203 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,760 Speaker 1: Of all the Democrat candidates answers, none of them. They're 1204 01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:15,520 Speaker 1: all just politicians. They're all completely invested in one thing, 1205 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,040 Speaker 1: one thing only, the brand of ME I II MEM. 1206 01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:23,160 Speaker 1: That is where those Democrats come down when you look 1207 01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:27,400 Speaker 1: at their background, their experience in the private sector. They 1208 01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,599 Speaker 1: think private sector is be in office for twenty years 1209 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 1: and then if somebody ghost write a book about what 1210 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,559 Speaker 1: you did in office for twenty years and go get 1211 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 1: fancy speeches that somebody else wrote for you at one 1212 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,560 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a pop. I mean, that's technically the 1213 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,000 Speaker 1: private sector, but it doesn't give you any any actual 1214 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:45,080 Speaker 1: knowledge of how to thrive and operate in the private sector. 1215 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 1: And you know, AOC I keep saying, we're going to 1216 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,400 Speaker 1: be talking more about the youth of the Democratic Party 1217 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 1: or the younger end of it, you know, gen gen Z, 1218 01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:58,519 Speaker 1: gen Y, gen X, and millennial millennials. Obviously I left 1219 01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 1: millennials out. The younger out of the Democratic Party is 1220 01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:05,679 Speaker 1: the more radical end, and we would like to believe 1221 01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,800 Speaker 1: that they as they pay more taxes and learn more, 1222 01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:10,759 Speaker 1: as they get older, they'll become at least more moderate, 1223 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 1: if not more conservative. I'm not sure given the way 1224 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,680 Speaker 1: that the structure around them is being set up right now. 1225 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:22,880 Speaker 1: The left wing, the left wing takeover of much of 1226 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,920 Speaker 1: corporate culture that has gone on now and certainly the 1227 01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,400 Speaker 1: corporate the left wing takeover of Hollywood and of the 1228 01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:34,640 Speaker 1: news media. They're churning out people that are going to 1229 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,080 Speaker 1: institutions that you know, I talked people that went to 1230 01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 1: my college, for example, you know when it was all male, 1231 01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 1: which was as recently as the nineteen eighties, and there 1232 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,759 Speaker 1: was still some it was a liberal place. All colleges 1233 01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,160 Speaker 1: are a little bit liberal whatever, but there was still 1234 01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:52,320 Speaker 1: some sense of traditional values and norms that would come across. 1235 01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,360 Speaker 1: There are more professors that would share those those feelings. 1236 01:09:55,800 --> 01:10:01,160 Speaker 1: Now these places, colleges, universities, high schools, public schools, they 1237 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:07,880 Speaker 1: are indoctrination centers for armies of little socialists who mouth 1238 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,880 Speaker 1: platitudes like AOC does. That she has no idea. If 1239 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:14,280 Speaker 1: a business just becomes rich by underpaying its workers, then 1240 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 1: all businesses would just underpay all their workers, and you know, 1241 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,160 Speaker 1: nobody would have no workers would stay with them, and 1242 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 1: they wouldn't make any money. I mean, she has no 1243 01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:26,760 Speaker 1: understanding of wages and what prices are. That prices are 1244 01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:30,840 Speaker 1: set by the market by individuals making free choices about 1245 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,600 Speaker 1: what they want to do, and that the only information 1246 01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:38,120 Speaker 1: we have to understand where those prices should be, you know, 1247 01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:42,160 Speaker 1: are set by the market. Otherwise it's just people throwing 1248 01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:45,280 Speaker 1: darts at a board with disastrous results. She does not 1249 01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:50,200 Speaker 1: understand that, and what's worse, she doesn't care that She 1250 01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,120 Speaker 1: doesn't understand that, and that's why we've gotten to this 1251 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:57,439 Speaker 1: point where Bernie Sanders is the Democrat front runner. That 1252 01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,920 Speaker 1: should be deeply troubling to all of us an intellectual 1253 01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,200 Speaker 1: level as well as a political level.

I want to share it 1257 01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,960 Speaker 1: with you. It's a piece in the American Conservative called 1258 01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 1: Postcard from pre Totalitarian America. That's a you know, kenchy 1259 01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,880 Speaker 1: kenchy headline. I guess it just got published. Yeah, it 1260 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,920 Speaker 1: just published this week. And this is how it goes. 1261 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 1: Last year, I spoke to a Soviet born scholar who 1262 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:40,000 Speaker 1: teaches in an American public university. I'm using a quote 1263 01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 1: from our forthcoming from our discussion in my forthcoming book, 1264 01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 1: Live Not by Lies. This morning she sent me this email, 1265 01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,320 Speaker 1: which I reproduce with her permission. I want to read 1266 01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,760 Speaker 1: to you from this email because it really does get 1267 01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 1: at what I'm saying to you, which is, even if 1268 01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:01,600 Speaker 1: we defeat Sanders socialism in either the primary or the 1269 01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:06,320 Speaker 1: general election, there's something very wrong with the American left, 1270 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:12,360 Speaker 1: particularly among the young today, that the virus of socialist 1271 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:15,920 Speaker 1: authoritarianism has spread in a way that I'm not sure 1272 01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,519 Speaker 1: this is going to be a one off. I don't 1273 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,599 Speaker 1: think that Bernie Sanders as a socialist nominee. This isn't 1274 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,679 Speaker 1: the last time we're going to see this. If anything, 1275 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 1: Democratic Party the momentum, but for the last twenty years, 1276 01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:30,920 Speaker 1: has been has been consistently pushing in this direction. Certainly 1277 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:35,920 Speaker 1: Obamaism was far lean. Obama, people forget, was the most 1278 01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 1: left wing senator in the Democratic Party by voting record 1279 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,800 Speaker 1: when he was elected President the United States. So we 1280 01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,639 Speaker 1: already elected the most left wing guy in the Senate 1281 01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,680 Speaker 1: by voting record who was a Democrat, and I think 1282 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,800 Speaker 1: at the time, technically Bernie Sanders may have been an independent, 1283 01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,880 Speaker 1: but so he was either number one or number two, 1284 01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,280 Speaker 1: all right. He was a very far left guy when 1285 01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:01,479 Speaker 1: he was a Senator, and then he became president United 1286 01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 1: States and did a lot to push forward policies that 1287 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:09,040 Speaker 1: were really bridging mechanisms between the more free market and 1288 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,360 Speaker 1: capitalist oriented society we have been living in and an 1289 01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:15,960 Speaker 1: increasingly statist and socialist one. This is the letter that 1290 01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:20,880 Speaker 1: the Rod Dreyer wrote or that he reprinted rather from 1291 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:25,760 Speaker 1: a Soviet born scholar about what she's seeing among the 1292 01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:29,479 Speaker 1: youth on the left today, youth really in general, because 1293 01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,679 Speaker 1: most of them are leftists. And this gets to also 1294 01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,200 Speaker 1: to I think the Bernie Brow mentality, where you have 1295 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,439 Speaker 1: these twenty five and thirty year olds who are big 1296 01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:42,200 Speaker 1: Bernie standers supporters, who are just maniacal about how anybody 1297 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,479 Speaker 1: who stands in Bernie's way, even Democrats, to stand in 1298 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:48,160 Speaker 1: Bernie's way. They shouldn't be convinced. They should just be destroyed, 1299 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,799 Speaker 1: they should be shoved aside. They're a part of the problem. 1300 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 1: Here is what was written here. I know from your 1301 01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:58,360 Speaker 1: blog that the work on your new book is going well, 1302 01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:02,000 Speaker 1: and I'm glad, because boy, it is so needed. I'm 1303 01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 1: observing some disturbing developments on my campus and we are 1304 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:09,519 Speaker 1: really not one of those Wokester schools for spoiled brats 1305 01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:14,000 Speaker 1: one normally associates with this kind of thing. This academic year, 1306 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:17,280 Speaker 1: I've had an opportunity to work with some early career academics. 1307 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 1: These are newly minted PhDs that are in their first 1308 01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,519 Speaker 1: year on the tenure track. What's really scary is that 1309 01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:29,040 Speaker 1: they sincerely believe all the woke dogma. Older people, those 1310 01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:32,280 Speaker 1: in their forties, fifties, or sixties, might parrot the woke 1311 01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:36,160 Speaker 1: mantras because it's what everybody in academia does and you 1312 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:41,479 Speaker 1: have to survive. But the younger generation actually believes it. 1313 01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:46,880 Speaker 1: All transwomen are women. Black students fail calculus because there 1314 01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:51,320 Speaker 1: are no calculus professors who quote look like them. Whiteness 1315 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:54,719 Speaker 1: is the most oppressive thing in the world. The US 1316 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:58,719 Speaker 1: is the most evil country in history. Anybody who votes 1317 01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:02,200 Speaker 1: Republican is a RACI. Everybody who goes to church is 1318 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:07,599 Speaker 1: a bigot. But the hijab is deeply liberating. I gently 1319 01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:10,800 Speaker 1: mocked some of this stuff, like we normally do among 1320 01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:14,880 Speaker 1: older academics, and two of the younger academics in the 1321 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:21,280 Speaker 1: group I supervise actually cried because they believe all this 1322 01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:26,080 Speaker 1: so deeply, and I'd even say fanatically that they couldn't comprehend. 1323 01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 1: Why wasn't taking it seriously? The fanatical glimmer in their 1324 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:34,360 Speaker 1: eyes really scared me. Back in the USSR in the 1325 01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 1: nineteen seventies and the nineteen eighties, nobody believed the dogma. 1326 01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:43,200 Speaker 1: People repeated the ideological mantras for cynical reasons to get 1327 01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:47,080 Speaker 1: advanced in their careers or get food packages. Many did 1328 01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:51,519 Speaker 1: it just to protect their kids, but nobody sincerely believed it. 1329 01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:55,680 Speaker 1: That is what ultimately saved us. As soon as the 1330 01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:59,240 Speaker 1: regime weakened a bit, it was doomed because there were 1331 01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,920 Speaker 1: no since your believers anymore. Everybody who did take the 1332 01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:07,360 Speaker 1: dogma seriously belong to the generation of my great grandparents 1333 01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:12,040 Speaker 1: in the US, though the generation of the fanatical believers 1334 01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,080 Speaker 1: is only now growing up and coming into its prime. 1335 01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:18,479 Speaker 1: We'll have to wait until their grandkids grow up to 1336 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,200 Speaker 1: see a generation that will be so fed up with 1337 01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:25,080 Speaker 1: the dogma that it will embrace freedom of thought and expression. 1338 01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:29,280 Speaker 1: But that's a long way away in the future. I'm 1339 01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,800 Speaker 1: mentoring a group of young scholars in the humanities to 1340 01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,920 Speaker 1: help them do research, and I'm starting to hate this task. 1341 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:39,719 Speaker 1: Young scholars, almost without exception, think that scholarship is entirely 1342 01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 1: about repeating woke slogans completely uncritically. Again, this is different 1343 01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:50,560 Speaker 1: from the USSR, where scholars peppered their writing with the slogans, 1344 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,840 Speaker 1: but always took great pride in trying to sneak in 1345 01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:59,520 Speaker 1: some real thinking and real analysis behind the required ideological 1346 01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,960 Speaker 1: driven every Soviet scholar starting from the nineteen seventies was 1347 01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:08,480 Speaker 1: a dissonant at heart because everybody knew that the ideology 1348 01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,280 Speaker 1: was rotten. All of this is sad and very scary. 1349 01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:16,280 Speaker 1: I never thought I'd experience anything worse, anything more intellectually 1350 01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 1: stifling than the USSR of its last two decades of existence. 1351 01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:25,720 Speaker 1: But now I do see something worse. The book you 1352 01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 1: are writing is very important. I hope that many people 1353 01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:31,519 Speaker 1: hear your message. So we'll have to have mister dreer 1354 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:37,280 Speaker 1: On to talk about this book Live not by lies. 1355 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 1: It sounds very interesting to me. But for somebody who 1356 01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:42,559 Speaker 1: lived for decades in the Soviet Union to come out 1357 01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:47,800 Speaker 1: and note this difference, I think this is something a 1358 01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,080 Speaker 1: lot more people need to hear. That the wokeness that 1359 01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,640 Speaker 1: I often make fun of and then you understand to 1360 01:17:53,800 --> 01:18:01,479 Speaker 1: be intellectual rot and that it is just rivel, and 1361 01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 1: that the origins of these ideological points of view are 1362 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,680 Speaker 1: always thinking. Our systems that have already been tried and 1363 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,719 Speaker 1: failed are beliefs that have been shown to be lacking, 1364 01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,840 Speaker 1: lacking in terms of nurturing the human spirit, lacking in 1365 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,120 Speaker 1: terms of creating good societies that people want to live in. 1366 01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:27,040 Speaker 1: This is all rooted in in lies, in untruth, and 1367 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,400 Speaker 1: this is now becoming so commonplace among younger people in particular, 1368 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,559 Speaker 1: that we have to wonder what the future will really 1369 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:37,680 Speaker 1: look like. Do we think for example, that someone who 1370 01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:40,240 Speaker 1: is twenty five or twenty right now, let's say twenty 1371 01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,719 Speaker 1: for kids who are in college age, that really believes 1372 01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,200 Speaker 1: some of the things that this professor laid out there, 1373 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:49,599 Speaker 1: like trans women or women. If you if you've gone 1374 01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:54,479 Speaker 1: around mouthing that slogan, which is which is absurd, right, 1375 01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 1: It's just it's not trans women or trans women that 1376 01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,320 Speaker 1: could be that you can say is true. You can 1377 01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:02,200 Speaker 1: talk about that, fine, but trans women are not just women, 1378 01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,439 Speaker 1: because then what are women? I mean, you get into 1379 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:07,880 Speaker 1: the definitions here, and you understand that there's an intentional 1380 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:12,000 Speaker 1: perversion of language that's taking place and a changing of 1381 01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:16,120 Speaker 1: language to go along with it, whereby now plural pronouns 1382 01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:20,040 Speaker 1: are required for individuals and the gender issue by the way, 1383 01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, conservatives spend a lot of time talking about this, 1384 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,000 Speaker 1: and I think now the attack on us for it 1385 01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,240 Speaker 1: is always why we're picking on this. What is a 1386 01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,559 Speaker 1: very small group percentage wise of the American population. Very 1387 01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:34,720 Speaker 1: small group globally, and there's a sense that because we 1388 01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:36,960 Speaker 1: focus on this that we're picking on trans people. I 1389 01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:40,200 Speaker 1: would never pick on trans people. They're people just like 1390 01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:44,080 Speaker 1: everyone else, and they're deserving of respect and kindness and 1391 01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:48,759 Speaker 1: decency just like everyone else. But the leftist ideology behind 1392 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:51,680 Speaker 1: the trans movement is something that we have to be 1393 01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:54,680 Speaker 1: able to talk about and discuss. And the way that 1394 01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:57,679 Speaker 1: they're co opting, we're changing language to suit their political 1395 01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:02,479 Speaker 1: preferences and all of this is really really unsettling, and 1396 01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 1: we should all be very aware of that. We should 1397 01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,240 Speaker 1: start to understand that people who think this in their 1398 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,639 Speaker 1: twenties are not going to wake up in their thirties 1399 01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:17,080 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden be reasonable constitutionalists who think 1400 01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:21,840 Speaker 1: that the rule of law has to mean a respect 1401 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:25,000 Speaker 1: for this system even when you don't like the outcome. 1402 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:28,880 Speaker 1: And liberals, because this appeals right, This appeals to people's 1403 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:32,280 Speaker 1: sense of self righteousness and their emotions. Liberals have created 1404 01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:35,240 Speaker 1: a world in which when the rules are in their favor, 1405 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 1: the rules are sacrosanct, and when the rules get in 1406 01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,479 Speaker 1: their way or don't work out the way they want 1407 01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:46,160 Speaker 1: them to, they are to be abandoned or undermined. Discarded 1408 01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:51,760 Speaker 1: any of the above. And that's why I thought this 1409 01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:56,240 Speaker 1: letter from this former resident of the Soviet Union saying 1410 01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,479 Speaker 1: that this is really troubling. And remember the point here 1411 01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:02,000 Speaker 1: being that people in this Oviet Union in academia. She's 1412 01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,680 Speaker 1: talking about young PhDs, people that are now. They are 1413 01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,560 Speaker 1: let's say twenty five, maybe twenty five to thirty in 1414 01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:14,400 Speaker 1: that range, young PhDs who think that the that that 1415 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:18,679 Speaker 1: academia shouldn't be about the pursuit of truth, including difficult truths, 1416 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:23,240 Speaker 1: and instead should be about the propagation of ideology, not 1417 01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:27,120 Speaker 1: merely because it's useful in the academy, so that's an 1418 01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:31,479 Speaker 1: opportunistic belief, but the propagation of ideology because they really 1419 01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:36,120 Speaker 1: truly think that this is the way that's not going 1420 01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:37,680 Speaker 1: to Those people are not going to change, they're not 1421 01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,799 Speaker 1: going to grow up. They're not going to start teaching, 1422 01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, the great classics of literature and stop referring 1423 01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:46,679 Speaker 1: to it as a province dominated by dead, dead white males, 1424 01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,040 Speaker 1: and how that's so not woke. And you know, we 1425 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:54,240 Speaker 1: need to read more literature from cultures that in some 1426 01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:56,920 Speaker 1: cases don't have a very long history of literature, and 1427 01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:00,600 Speaker 1: not a lot of stuff to read. You know, you 1428 01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:03,240 Speaker 1: really get into this. You say, well, where where is 1429 01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:06,400 Speaker 1: this going to take us? And I think that it 1430 01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:10,320 Speaker 1: takes us to some pretty frightening places very quickly. That 1431 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:14,120 Speaker 1: that's why. Also the Bernie Sanders situation really bothers me. 1432 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,240 Speaker 1: It's troubling enough that he's even a front runner right 1433 01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 1: now in this Democrat primary. When you listen to what 1434 01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:23,560 Speaker 1: he's suggesting, what he's saying, you know, Bernie Sanders is 1435 01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,840 Speaker 1: going to make sure that if he became president, he's 1436 01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:28,639 Speaker 1: going to make sure that this country is less free, 1437 01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:33,120 Speaker 1: less prosperous. And with that, let's be honest, let's less happy. 1438 01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:37,680 Speaker 1: But as long as we are equally sharing in a 1439 01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:41,240 Speaker 1: greater degree of misery, that's that's he's fine with that. 1440 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,040 Speaker 1: That outcome is better. He says he's just going to 1441 01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 1: pull down billionaires, but in the process, he's going to 1442 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,960 Speaker 1: be pulling down people who have worked very very hard 1443 01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:53,000 Speaker 1: to try and create more freedom, more options, more security 1444 01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 1: for themselves in their families. Because ultimately, he doesn't think 1445 01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,040 Speaker 1: and this is true of AOC, It's true if Bernie, 1446 01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:02,920 Speaker 1: it's true of Warren. He doesn't think that whatever you've 1447 01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,880 Speaker 1: done to get where you are is something that you 1448 01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:09,839 Speaker 1: can claim to have been your own. It's the government 1449 01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:11,720 Speaker 1: that allowed all of that. You didn't build that. This 1450 01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:15,680 Speaker 1: is the line that Obama said, that was a a 1451 01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:20,080 Speaker 1: much greater window into the mind of the contemporary leftist 1452 01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 1: than was that certainly them was intended with that line, 1453 01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,960 Speaker 1: you didn't build that. Well, if you didn't build it, 1454 01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,160 Speaker 1: if you don't have ownership of your own time, your 1455 01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:31,639 Speaker 1: own labor, your own decision making, if the state gets 1456 01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:35,200 Speaker 1: to determine all of that, what does that turn into 1457 01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:38,839 Speaker 1: for America as a society. You know, already we've allowed 1458 01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:42,240 Speaker 1: as a country far too much socialism to creep into 1459 01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,759 Speaker 1: our system. And the state is a much larger presence 1460 01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:49,160 Speaker 1: in our lives, the big s state, the federal government 1461 01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,400 Speaker 1: is a much bigger presence in our lives than it 1462 01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,120 Speaker 1: should be. And we have to deal with that all 1463 01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,639 Speaker 1: the time, and we have to try to find ways 1464 01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,160 Speaker 1: to push back against it, and it has not been 1465 01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:02,280 Speaker 1: very successful. Recently, Donald Trump comes along, and I think 1466 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:04,760 Speaker 1: a lot of us feel like this may just be 1467 01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:08,680 Speaker 1: a reprieve from the rampant statism of the left. It 1468 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 1: may not be a sweeping victory that changes the trajectory 1469 01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,479 Speaker 1: of the country. And that's when I look at the 1470 01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:17,040 Speaker 1: young people and what they're saying. At the young people. 1471 01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not I'm thirty. God, I'm thirty eight now, 1472 01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,680 Speaker 1: Bruce and Mark, I'm almost forty. Man, you realize this. 1473 01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:25,519 Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like we could have been 1474 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 1: in high school math class together. And I sit here, 1475 01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 1: I look at you, and I'm like, my god, when 1476 01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:33,240 Speaker 1: I was in high school math class, you were actually 1477 01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,280 Speaker 1: in diapers. What year were you in high school math class? 1478 01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 1: I mean, let's say I would have been in high 1479 01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:42,800 Speaker 1: school in two. Oh, no, in nineteen nineteen ninety six. Yeah, 1480 01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:45,120 Speaker 1: it was three. Okay, so maybe you're just you're out 1481 01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:47,080 Speaker 1: of diapers at three. I don't know how that worked kids. 1482 01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not a kid guy. Yeah. Yeah, I'm 1483 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,240 Speaker 1: not yet either. Um, but yeah you were. You would 1484 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,720 Speaker 1: have been very very young. Yeah. So you know when 1485 01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:56,840 Speaker 1: I say the youth, though, can you explain to us 1486 01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,880 Speaker 1: why your your peers, your gens, you're we know you're millennial. 1487 01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:04,559 Speaker 1: You're like, you're you're barely a millennial because beard millennials. Yeah, 1488 01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:07,160 Speaker 1: and you're a no beard millennial. Yes, So can you 1489 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:09,240 Speaker 1: explain why the people of your age are so crazy. 1490 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,360 Speaker 1: Maybe something's in the water, you know. Would you say 1491 01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:16,479 Speaker 1: most of the most of the of your friends are 1492 01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:19,680 Speaker 1: they politically active? Do they care? Or are they just 1493 01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,160 Speaker 1: running their lives and like this is all a distraction 1494 01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 1: to them. I have a few here there that will 1495 01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:26,840 Speaker 1: be politically active. I don't really talk politics with my friends. 1496 01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:28,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to. This is maybe this is a 1497 01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:30,760 Speaker 1: helpful reminder that I feel like when you work in 1498 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,240 Speaker 1: politics and you're constantly looking at the ideology, you know, 1499 01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,599 Speaker 1: I want a country where that's actually the standard, where 1500 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,479 Speaker 1: people don't have to think much. We should all think 1501 01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,759 Speaker 1: about about ethics and about the good life, and about 1502 01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,040 Speaker 1: what we should do with ourselves and our time, and 1503 01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:47,240 Speaker 1: have the freedom to differ in those pursuits. But I 1504 01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,080 Speaker 1: wish that there was much less of a focus on 1505 01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,720 Speaker 1: politics as really a form of personal branding, because this 1506 01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:53,559 Speaker 1: is what ends up happening. Everyone just sits around them. 1507 01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:55,759 Speaker 1: And when I was in DC, people to talk politics 1508 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:57,439 Speaker 1: all the time. I mean, I'm a little different that 1509 01:25:57,520 --> 01:25:59,560 Speaker 1: I have to listen to this every day and yeah, no, 1510 01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,519 Speaker 1: I know I'm propagandizing from the right for producer Mark. 1511 01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:05,599 Speaker 1: But before I had this job, I wouldn't go around 1512 01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:08,240 Speaker 1: talking politics with my friends. I wasn't as informed because 1513 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,080 Speaker 1: I didn't want to be, because I wasn't part of 1514 01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:13,120 Speaker 1: my life. Yeah, if that makes sense. Yeah, No, for 1515 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:14,840 Speaker 1: for a lot of people, I think that this becomes 1516 01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:17,200 Speaker 1: such a it's become such a part of identity. And 1517 01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:20,719 Speaker 1: that's why you have all these Hollywood actors who aren't 1518 01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,160 Speaker 1: religious and I think are looking for purpose, and they 1519 01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:27,200 Speaker 1: latch onto purpose in the guise of climate change, activism 1520 01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:30,599 Speaker 1: and all these leftist causes that ultimately I think are 1521 01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:34,000 Speaker 1: just are just empty. They fill it with the promise 1522 01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:37,000 Speaker 1: of helping the poor, helping the world, helping the downtrodden, 1523 01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:40,479 Speaker 1: but they really don't do that. They just mouth these 1524 01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:43,479 Speaker 1: these slogans. They just say the things that they believe 1525 01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:46,400 Speaker 1: they're supposed to say. And much of it is I mean, 1526 01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,719 Speaker 1: there's a reason people do virtue, virtue signaling. It's because 1527 01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:51,960 Speaker 1: it's a form of self aggrandizement. It's it's look at 1528 01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:55,479 Speaker 1: how great I am. And that's behind a lot of 1529 01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:57,599 Speaker 1: leftism today, a lot of activism on the left today. 1530 01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:02,840 Speaker 1: So young people believe the crazy stuff from the left 1531 01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:05,479 Speaker 1: today more than even Soviet scholars. When I see young people, 1532 01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:09,720 Speaker 1: young scholars today believing in suppression and censorship as not 1533 01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 1: a thing they have to put up with, but a 1534 01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,800 Speaker 1: thing that is good. And juxtaposing that with what was 1535 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,240 Speaker 1: going on in the nineteen seventies and the nineteen eighties 1536 01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:24,240 Speaker 1: and Soviet Union. That's that's sobering, my friends. You're in 1537 01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:31,599 Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Yeah, 1538 01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:33,080 Speaker 1: the wall is being built. You know, we're up to 1539 01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:38,960 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty two miles and you think that money. 1540 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,600 Speaker 1: That was not easy. But we got the money and 1541 01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:43,639 Speaker 1: we're building it, and we want a lot of cases 1542 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:46,240 Speaker 1: in court. We were suthed all the way along the line, 1543 01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:48,599 Speaker 1: and we're up to one hundred and twenty two miles. 1544 01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:51,960 Speaker 1: In a very short time will be over five hundred miles. 1545 01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:54,960 Speaker 1: It's already had a tremendous impact. So the wall is 1546 01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,920 Speaker 1: moving along. I hope that the wall keeps moving along. 1547 01:27:57,960 --> 01:27:59,559 Speaker 1: This is an important promise. I also want to give 1548 01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:01,120 Speaker 1: you something a little bit, a little bit upbeat. After 1549 01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:04,519 Speaker 1: all that talk about the Soviet mentality overtaking young scholars 1550 01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:07,280 Speaker 1: in America in some ways works than the Soviet mentality. 1551 01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:08,519 Speaker 1: I feel like we should have a little bit of 1552 01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:10,880 Speaker 1: happy time. And so that's where I brought out, brought 1553 01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:15,479 Speaker 1: out the Trumpster. And he's incredible what he's been able 1554 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,160 Speaker 1: to do so far, and the fact that he's still 1555 01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:22,679 Speaker 1: so full of fight and so vigorous in his defense 1556 01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:26,600 Speaker 1: not just of the administration, but now of capitalism and 1557 01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:33,000 Speaker 1: of American patriotism. He can't escape that. The Democrats really 1558 01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:36,759 Speaker 1: come at this with a view of how much America 1559 01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:39,479 Speaker 1: needs to be transformed, because America is deficient in so 1560 01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,599 Speaker 1: many ways. Trump is such a powerful voice out there 1561 01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:45,439 Speaker 1: for now. This country is actually amazing, and people who 1562 01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:47,920 Speaker 1: live here are lucky, and we want to preserve what 1563 01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:51,760 Speaker 1: is best in this country and continue on a path 1564 01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:57,320 Speaker 1: of increased prosperity and freedom and individuals being able to 1565 01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:00,320 Speaker 1: pursue their destiny. Mean, that's what we really want. And 1566 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:03,880 Speaker 1: Trump gets that done. And I gotta says, it has 1567 01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:08,480 Speaker 1: been amazing watching him put up with all the nonsense, 1568 01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,839 Speaker 1: all the efforts to remove him from office, destroy everybody 1569 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,040 Speaker 1: around him, and you see him at these rallies like 1570 01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,679 Speaker 1: he was last night, and you still get the sense 1571 01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:18,960 Speaker 1: that Trump is just loving it. He loves it, he 1572 01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:22,160 Speaker 1: loves the fight. Thanks for listening to the bus Sesson 1573 01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:26,960 Speaker 1: Show podcasts.

Why 1597 01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:10,320 Speaker 1: is nobody calling him out? The rights are outlined in 1598 01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:14,320 Speaker 1: our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. If Bernie feels 1599 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,280 Speaker 1: healthcare is a right, and as long as he has 1600 01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:19,560 Speaker 1: been working government, he should know there's a process for 1601 01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:22,519 Speaker 1: creating a new right called an amendment. Why is he 1602 01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:26,880 Speaker 1: not using the known system instead of trying to force 1603 01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,600 Speaker 1: what he feels is a right. This tells me he 1604 01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:31,880 Speaker 1: knows it would never go through the process to become 1605 01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:35,200 Speaker 1: a right. Jesse, Kelly and Fox, etc. Are not on 1606 01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:38,479 Speaker 1: this topic of this. Also, why even if he gets elected, 1607 01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:40,280 Speaker 1: it will still not be illegal right? It takes an amendment. 1608 01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:43,800 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, Well, DJ, he's you know, I 1609 01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:49,479 Speaker 1: see your point. Bernie Sanders is intentionally conflating what he 1610 01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:52,559 Speaker 1: thinks of as a right with what is a right 1611 01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:55,240 Speaker 1: as a function of law. I mean, no one has 1612 01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:57,640 Speaker 1: a When you say you have a right to healthcare, 1613 01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:01,800 Speaker 1: what does that mean? What doesn't just think about that 1614 01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:03,360 Speaker 1: from what does it mean? So? Do you have a 1615 01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:06,640 Speaker 1: right to demand what do you have a right to 1616 01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:11,320 Speaker 1: say that you want a you know, let's say I here, 1617 01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:17,479 Speaker 1: I'll make this personal. I have a essentially two two 1618 01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:21,360 Speaker 1: severed tendons on my right ankle and what's called a 1619 01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:24,639 Speaker 1: cable various foot, which means you have a super high arch, which, 1620 01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:26,439 Speaker 1: unless you're a ballet answer, is not a good thing. 1621 01:32:26,479 --> 01:32:29,800 Speaker 1: It actually creates real instability. It means you're very susceptible 1622 01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:34,600 Speaker 1: to catastrophic ankle sprains and breaks. And the surgery for 1623 01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:38,760 Speaker 1: it is pretty intense. It's called a calcaneal osteotomy. And 1624 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:42,600 Speaker 1: if I want to have that surgery, okay, so I 1625 01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:45,439 Speaker 1: know that's a medically necessary thing. I haven't done it yet. 1626 01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:48,920 Speaker 1: Do I get to so healthcare is a right? All right? Now? 1627 01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:54,879 Speaker 1: Do I get to walk into the most reputable hospital 1628 01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:57,840 Speaker 1: in New York City for this? Some would probably say 1629 01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:02,160 Speaker 1: HHS Hospital or h SS rather Hospital for Special Surgery 1630 01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:06,559 Speaker 1: and demand that their top surgeon give me a date 1631 01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:09,920 Speaker 1: in the next few weeks to do my surgery, and 1632 01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:14,200 Speaker 1: they take whatever money my insurance happens to feel like 1633 01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:17,160 Speaker 1: giving them. Is that? Is that what it means to 1634 01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:19,800 Speaker 1: have a right? Or do I have a right to 1635 01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:23,920 Speaker 1: wait three years? And have some doctor who went to 1636 01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:30,800 Speaker 1: medical school in French Guiana or something and now is gonna, 1637 01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, operate on me in between selling sham wows 1638 01:33:34,400 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 1: on the weekend. I mean, is that my right extends 1639 01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:41,360 Speaker 1: to what point if it's not based in free markets 1640 01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:45,840 Speaker 1: and individuals coming together and an insurance system that's actually 1641 01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:47,640 Speaker 1: insurance instead of what we have, which is just a 1642 01:33:47,960 --> 01:33:51,519 Speaker 1: very complicated cross subsidies. Am I able to just walk 1643 01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:54,519 Speaker 1: in and demand that the best surgeon in New York 1644 01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:59,040 Speaker 1: City operate on my ankle? Why not? I thought it's 1645 01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:02,519 Speaker 1: a right? Oh oh no, no, you see, you know 1646 01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:05,519 Speaker 1: who's going to answer this question for you? A bunch 1647 01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:09,320 Speaker 1: of bureaucrats. That's what Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders wants government 1648 01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:12,840 Speaker 1: bureaucrats who are unaccountable to you, who you won't even 1649 01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:15,519 Speaker 1: be able to get on the phone, who you can't 1650 01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:20,160 Speaker 1: get fired, to come up with policies in Washington, DC, 1651 01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:24,120 Speaker 1: come up with decisions in Washington, d C. About what 1652 01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:27,479 Speaker 1: doctor you can see, how quickly you can see that doctor, 1653 01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:31,439 Speaker 1: what services that doctor will cover. And Bernie Sanders wants 1654 01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:32,880 Speaker 1: you to believe that's going to be a good outcome 1655 01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:36,680 Speaker 1: for you. Do you really think that that's possible. You 1656 01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:39,840 Speaker 1: really think that that's true? No one who looks the 1657 01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:41,880 Speaker 1: And that's why I made a sort of personal Do 1658 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:43,160 Speaker 1: I think that I'd be able to go get a 1659 01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:47,840 Speaker 1: great surgeon to take care of my very messed up ankle? 1660 01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:49,680 Speaker 1: Do I think I'd be able to get a great 1661 01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,080 Speaker 1: surgeon to do that in a Bernie Sanders world where 1662 01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:55,600 Speaker 1: we have Medicare for all? Absolutely not, because guess what, 1663 01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:59,560 Speaker 1: everybody else who wants to have surgery, you know what 1664 01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:04,400 Speaker 1: do you call orthopedic surgery? Everyone else in New York City. 1665 01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:06,680 Speaker 1: They can do Google searches too. They know what the 1666 01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:10,519 Speaker 1: reputations are of different facilities, different doctors, and they're all 1667 01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:13,880 Speaker 1: gonna want to see this doctor. And is he gonna 1668 01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:15,479 Speaker 1: get pained enough that he's gonna even want to stay 1669 01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:18,280 Speaker 1: in practice and accept the Bernie Sanders Medicare for All? 1670 01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:20,760 Speaker 1: Or is he going to say no, I'm only seeing 1671 01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:24,040 Speaker 1: patients who pay cash, who run a credit card at 1672 01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:27,320 Speaker 1: my front desk, and then and then I'll perform surgery. 1673 01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,479 Speaker 1: And what if Bernie Sanders administration says that this this 1674 01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, super whiz doctor only can take reimbursements for 1675 01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:39,240 Speaker 1: his procedures at a level that won't cover the overhead 1676 01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:41,519 Speaker 1: of his facility, won't cover the insurance that he has 1677 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:45,360 Speaker 1: to pay for malpractice, etc. Etc. Maybe he just shuts down, 1678 01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:48,479 Speaker 1: or maybe he goes, you know, elsewhere to practice medicine. Right, 1679 01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:51,559 Speaker 1: this is the reality of healthcare. Bernie Sanders is giving 1680 01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:54,920 Speaker 1: you a mythology of healthcare. It's never going to be 1681 01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:56,920 Speaker 1: what he says it is. You know, he keeps saying 1682 01:35:56,960 --> 01:36:00,519 Speaker 1: Medicare for all. It's not Medicare for all. Medicare has 1683 01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:05,040 Speaker 1: co pays. Medicare doesn't cover everything. Medicare is something that 1684 01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:08,720 Speaker 1: people have paid into. You know, there's a number of things. 1685 01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:12,760 Speaker 1: Remember Medicare for all. You're not paying into this over time, 1686 01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:16,599 Speaker 1: You're just this is now just the general fund. It's 1687 01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:18,920 Speaker 1: more expensive than we already have in. Medicare is already 1688 01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:23,439 Speaker 1: too expensive, and doctors don't want to take it. We 1689 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:28,200 Speaker 1: were running this experiment. Bernie Sanders is waging a war 1690 01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:31,280 Speaker 1: on history because we've done the things that he wants 1691 01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:34,000 Speaker 1: to do and it does not turn out well for us. 1692 01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:38,320 Speaker 1: And he just ignores this. He tries to pretend that 1693 01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:40,760 Speaker 1: we don't have the information that we do, that we 1694 01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:44,640 Speaker 1: don't know what's really going on here anyway. Sorry, I 1695 01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:46,240 Speaker 1: know that was a long thing about healthcare, but I 1696 01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:47,960 Speaker 1: just feel like when you when you personalize it, and 1697 01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:49,960 Speaker 1: as I've said to you, I've this is like when 1698 01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,479 Speaker 1: I talk about rent control. I've lived in tiny I've 1699 01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:57,920 Speaker 1: lived in really tiny, rinky dink apartments in New York City. 1700 01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:01,720 Speaker 1: I've had insurance, I've had terrible insurance that I've had 1701 01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:03,960 Speaker 1: no insurance and had to deal with doctors under all 1702 01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:07,880 Speaker 1: those circumstances. So I can draw, I can draw from 1703 01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:10,080 Speaker 1: these these personal experiences to tell you that there's just 1704 01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:12,519 Speaker 1: no way what some of these politicians are telling you 1705 01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:14,680 Speaker 1: it is true. It's going to be true. And I 1706 01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:17,400 Speaker 1: guess for some people they'd rather live with they'd rather 1707 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:21,519 Speaker 1: live with the hope from the fantasy than deal with 1708 01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:24,439 Speaker 1: the reality. And that's really what that's at the heart 1709 01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:28,080 Speaker 1: of Sanders is m That's what Bernie Sandernista is all about. 1710 01:37:29,120 --> 01:37:33,080 Speaker 1: Richard Buck, this debate tonight has been like watching blood Sport. 1711 01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:37,960 Speaker 1: Kumid Day, Kumid Day. Prouser Mark, you've seen blood sport, 1712 01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:43,679 Speaker 1: get shut the front door. No way, you haven't seen 1713 01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:46,080 Speaker 1: blood sport. Do I have to? Well, missus Mark. Let 1714 01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:48,360 Speaker 1: you well, missus Mark, let you come over for like 1715 01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:50,240 Speaker 1: a movie night one night, like I'll have like about 1716 01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,280 Speaker 1: brothers over. They love blood Sport too. You gotta watch 1717 01:37:52,280 --> 01:37:54,599 Speaker 1: blood Sport, man. I'll bring it any well order, we'll 1718 01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:57,640 Speaker 1: order Chinese food gluten free and uh and you know 1719 01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:59,479 Speaker 1: we'll sit here and watch. Oh well, you're getting there 1720 01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:02,880 Speaker 1: with gluding preachies. Who is good? I will have sure. 1721 01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:05,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear this nonsense from you. Did 1722 01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:06,960 Speaker 1: you ever watch martial arts? We ever in the martial 1723 01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:09,640 Speaker 1: arts movement? Really, they were a huge thing in the 1724 01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:11,400 Speaker 1: eighties and even in the nineties a little bit. But 1725 01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,679 Speaker 1: then I think people will because here here's my theory 1726 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:19,320 Speaker 1: about this that people realized because of MMA, that training 1727 01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:23,760 Speaker 1: to actually be a like, you know, having some ninety 1728 01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:26,720 Speaker 1: year old monk who can catch a fly with his 1729 01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:29,040 Speaker 1: fingers or something and has like a long silver beard, 1730 01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:31,120 Speaker 1: that guy's actually not going to beat twenty dudes in 1731 01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:33,320 Speaker 1: a fight like that's not that's not reality at all. 1732 01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:36,439 Speaker 1: And the people that actually can fight with their hands 1733 01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:39,320 Speaker 1: trained to fight with their hands and are and are 1734 01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:41,800 Speaker 1: in very good shape because also being strong and fast 1735 01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:44,720 Speaker 1: does matter. You don't just like meditate enough and you're 1736 01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,000 Speaker 1: a ninja warrior who will defeat everyone. And that was 1737 01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:49,920 Speaker 1: kind of you know, or or do a lot of 1738 01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:53,400 Speaker 1: spin kicks. Spin kicks and someone's gonna write anything. Someone 1739 01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:55,080 Speaker 1: always tols like book I've knocked to go out with 1740 01:38:55,120 --> 01:38:56,840 Speaker 1: a spin kick in the street fight. Okay, well, good 1741 01:38:56,880 --> 01:38:58,840 Speaker 1: for you. Spin kicks are not a good idea in 1742 01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:01,400 Speaker 1: a self defense. Sounds like an accident if you do 1743 01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:05,120 Speaker 1: it again. If I did, I'd pull a hammy. Who wouldn't. Yeah, 1744 01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:07,240 Speaker 1: I got I gotta stretch before it, and my spincake 1745 01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:11,439 Speaker 1: would be at like Waiste level, So if that all right? Anyway, 1746 01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:13,360 Speaker 1: So he has not seen he's not seen blood Sport. 1747 01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:15,960 Speaker 1: It's Van Dam's best movie. Have you seen any Van 1748 01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:19,880 Speaker 1: Dam movies? No? Probably not. There is one where there's 1749 01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:23,240 Speaker 1: an ice hockey rink. Oh wow, in the background he 1750 01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:28,160 Speaker 1: actually fights an ice hockey mascot. So maybe that's the 1751 01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:29,880 Speaker 1: one we should start with for you to see. Yeah, 1752 01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,479 Speaker 1: I'll get on that. There you go. Producer Mark has homework. 1753 01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:36,680 Speaker 1: Warren has been Van Dam screaming in slow motion as 1754 01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:40,800 Speaker 1: Bloomberg is stunned, sprang cash as he falls down. This 1755 01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:44,320 Speaker 1: whole Nda thing is amazing to watch Trump's ladies who 1756 01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:47,600 Speaker 1: signed NDA spoke anyways, no repercussions. Why is it that 1757 01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:49,840 Speaker 1: the Bloomberg ladies who signed that NDA won't speak. It's 1758 01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:55,559 Speaker 1: smacks of the Voldemort whistleblower double standard shields high. You know, Richard, 1759 01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:58,120 Speaker 1: I think even if these women, look, I don't believe that. 1760 01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:02,880 Speaker 1: You know, I don't believe the Bloomberg. He's honestly, he's 1761 01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:08,599 Speaker 1: too too cautious and too tactical. And I think we'd 1762 01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:10,439 Speaker 1: all more than that. I think we would know. I 1763 01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:12,080 Speaker 1: think we would know if he had done any really 1764 01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:14,439 Speaker 1: bad stuff to women in his in his company and 1765 01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:17,519 Speaker 1: his employee. You know, he's he's a little crass and 1766 01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:19,560 Speaker 1: he makes comments because he's a billionaire. He's used to 1767 01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:22,519 Speaker 1: being able to say what he wants. Let's be honest 1768 01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:24,439 Speaker 1: on the right, guys, we're kind of used to that now, right, 1769 01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean, crass billionaire who says what he wants. Let's 1770 01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:29,599 Speaker 1: not you know, we're not pearl clutching. It's Democrats who 1771 01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:31,240 Speaker 1: were doing all the pearl clutching over this. We're like, 1772 01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:35,240 Speaker 1: he said some stuff, he's apologized. You know, it's time 1773 01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:37,760 Speaker 1: to move on. It's not like that these nbas were waved, 1774 01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:39,880 Speaker 1: you'd find out that Bloomberg was running some you know, 1775 01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:42,240 Speaker 1: sex dungeon out of the Bloomberg News offices or something. 1776 01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:44,040 Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to say. That's just not That's 1777 01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:47,880 Speaker 1: not this guy. So it's not a game changer either way, 1778 01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:50,120 Speaker 1: and I think the media is much more invested in 1779 01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:55,000 Speaker 1: this being a big deal than anybody else. Penny, did 1780 01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:57,320 Speaker 1: we ever actually hear who won an Eyowa? Yes? Penny 1781 01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:00,439 Speaker 1: turned out Mayor Pete Bouddha Judge got the most delegates. 1782 01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:04,320 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders got the most in raw vote total in Iowa. 1783 01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:07,160 Speaker 1: Although I believe Sanders and Buddhajudge are both asking for 1784 01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:10,760 Speaker 1: a Reek canvass of a few counties there. So the 1785 01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:18,400 Speaker 1: answer is kinda anyway. Bill Rights. Illegal aliens are not 1786 01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,880 Speaker 1: more American than most Americans, but I can argue that 1787 01:41:22,080 --> 01:41:25,599 Speaker 1: many of them are ideologically more American than most lives. 1788 01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:28,760 Speaker 1: At least they see this country as somewhere they want 1789 01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:31,559 Speaker 1: to be and are willing to work for what they get. 1790 01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:34,360 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I'm not an illegal alien advocate, 1791 01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:37,360 Speaker 1: but given a choice, I would happily trade the farm 1792 01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:40,920 Speaker 1: workers here in the Central Valley of California for Antifa, 1793 01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:46,360 Speaker 1: Bernie Brows and half of Congress. Bill. You know, look, 1794 01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:49,759 Speaker 1: I think most illegal aliens that you're going to come across, 1795 01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:52,599 Speaker 1: you know, vast majority of the percent of them are 1796 01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:54,960 Speaker 1: nice people who are just trying to get a better 1797 01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:58,400 Speaker 1: situation for themselves. And I have human sympathy for them, 1798 01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:00,800 Speaker 1: There's no question about it. Right they to leave usually 1799 01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:04,560 Speaker 1: crappy dysfunctional countries or crappy dysfunctional economies and come to 1800 01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:07,120 Speaker 1: a much better one. But we also have to protect 1801 01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:08,880 Speaker 1: the economy we have in the country we have, and 1802 01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:13,519 Speaker 1: sovereignty is important. We have laws, and also there is 1803 01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:17,240 Speaker 1: a small, a very small subset of illegal aliens who 1804 01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:20,120 Speaker 1: do commit really terrible crimes here, and we have to 1805 01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:22,559 Speaker 1: factor into this that they shouldn't be here at all 1806 01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:26,080 Speaker 1: in the first place. So those crimes should not have occurred, 1807 01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:31,080 Speaker 1: they shouldn't have been able to occur. So, Bill, thank 1808 01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:36,160 Speaker 1: you so much for writing in You're in the Freedom Hunt. 1809 01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:43,040 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast, all our more 1810 01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:47,560 Speaker 1: roll call here.

We should 1818 01:43:08,600 --> 01:43:11,080 Speaker 1: do like a bucking Mark Mystery Science Theater thing, you know, 1819 01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:13,560 Speaker 1: when we watch a movie and do the commentary on it, 1820 01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:15,800 Speaker 1: because you know, I'll try to give the movie a 1821 01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:18,120 Speaker 1: little bit of credit. Producer Mark will be salty and 1822 01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:21,320 Speaker 1: an unimpressed. Don't we need like rights for that and 1823 01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:25,000 Speaker 1: stuff we can't? Yeah, it's technically true. Yeah, maybe we're 1824 01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:27,599 Speaker 1: back the cooking idea. Then, so I think cooking works 1825 01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:30,200 Speaker 1: better because nobody can copyright cooking. Yeah, they can't copyright 1826 01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:32,320 Speaker 1: my steak. They better not. They better not try too, 1827 01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:34,800 Speaker 1: that would be bad news.

The Olympics jumped the shark after the Cold 1840 01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:16,800 Speaker 1: War ended by allowing professional athletes to participate. So, yeah, 1841 01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:18,680 Speaker 1: that was what I said yesterday that they were they 1842 01:44:18,720 --> 01:44:21,640 Speaker 1: were we had amateurs playing, so we so we did 1843 01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:24,720 Speaker 1: not have NHL players on that miracle team.
