Speaker 1: us or you were with the terrorists. If you get healthcare,

3
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: all of it, then you can keep your plan. If

4
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: you are satisfied with is not the President of the

00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: United States, take it to a bank. Together, we will

6
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: make America great again. You'll never sharender. It's what you've

7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,160

Speaker 1: eight to five. The future of talk radio buck Sexton.

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: So I've always seemed to get, for whatever reason, a

12
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: disproportionate amount of press or media and about my whole life.

13
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: Somebody will explain some day why. But I've always gotten

14
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: a lot. And as a businessman, I was always treated

15
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: really well by the press. You know, the numbers speak

16
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: and things happen, But I've always really had a very

17
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: good press. And it wasn't until I became a politician

18
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious, and

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: how fake the press can be. As the camera start

20
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: going off in the back. But but overall, I mean

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: the bottom line, somebody said, well, they couldn't have been

22
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: that bed, because here we are. We are president, and

23
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,639
Speaker 1: I think we're doing a really great job with my team.

24
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: I have a team of just tremendous people, and I

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: think we're doing a very special job. And I really

26
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: believe it was time and it was time to do

27
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: that job. Welcome to buck Section show, everybody there. You

28
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: had the President in Davos laying it down. I love

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: the press of booth background when he calls them out.

30
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's this is the most This is the

31
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: most entertaining presidency. Just put aside the politics and all

32
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: the winds. And I'm not you're tired of winning, but

33
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: this is the most entertaining presidency to be political analysts

34
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: for certainly in my lifetime. It's great stuff, it really is.

35
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: He's up there in the presses in the back boom,

36
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: and they just can't handle any of this. They hate

37
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: what's going on because here's the here's the overall storyline

38
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: that they've been running with for a long time. Here's

39
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: what you've been hearing about. Right. International community, like just

40
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: they hate Trump, I mean, like we're not gonna have

41
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: any allies left and like world leaders won't talk to him.

42
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: And like, oh my gosh, like, what's all that stuff? Right?

43
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: So much whining, so much snowflake is him out there

44
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: from people who think that Trump is is going to

45
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: destroy all of our relations with the rest of the world,

46
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: and oh it's just so just so terrible. Meanwhile, he

47
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: shows up at Davos, which is you know, fence. See

48
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: it's in Switzerland. It's very like you know, yodeling, skiing

49
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: and big bank accounts, and he's got this collectional world

50
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: leaders and these kind of events are really they are

51
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: just media and photo op stuff. It's it's not it's

52
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: not only useful policy, right, It's not all that much

53
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: to do there other than give some speeches and who

54
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: really cares, you know that the Davos Forum, all right,

55
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: but Trump takes that as an opportunity to get the

56
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: message out there. So they're not going to hash out

57
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: some amazing international agreement with world leaders necessarily. But Trump's

58
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: at least gonna say, hey, we're open for business. Things

59
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: are going well, and he's treated they're kind of like

60
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: a rock star. You know. People are like, oh, wow, Trump,

61
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the the Trump presidency is not this blite, is not

62
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: this uh terrible creating us evil that people don't want

63
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: to be anywhere near right. That's just not the case,

64
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: and the press is freaked out about it. Jim mc

65
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: cost over at CNN is not a happy camper. He's

66
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: had a pretty good reception here in Davos for somebody

67
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: who railed against globalism as a candidate for president. Uh.

68
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: He has been mixing and mingling with these fat cats

69
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: and big wigs UH NonStop ever since he's been on

70
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: the ground here in Davos, and he's had a pretty

71
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: friendly reception. I will say, though, it was rather remarkable

72
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: to hear Uh, the founder of this World Economic Forum

73
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: also take jabs at the press and say that the

74
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: president is the victim of biased interpretations and misconceptions. All

75
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: in all, that that was a fairly a pitiful display.

76
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I think could have so many business and global leaders

77
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: here have those kinds of statements made with the president

78
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: by his side, and then nobody really take exception to that.

79
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: But that that is sort of the what we're living,

80
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: and that's the environment we live in with President Trump,

81
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: Paul and all. It was. It was fascinating to watch

82
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: the president get this reception here at Davos. Not what

83
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: I expected out all trum Acosta sad. So the head

84
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: of Davos is like, Yo, the media is all over Trump.

85
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: It's crazy, right, And there's just a Costa reporter to

86
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: let us know that it was a quote pitiful display

87
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: that the head of Davos is agreeing with Trump of

88
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: the media hates him. This is what I want to know.

89
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: I would like the opportunity at some point. I mean,

90
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: they'll never do this, right. I think I'm probably not

91
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: allowed to go in to see an anymore, but uh,

92
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: even if I'm invited. But the question I want to

93
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: ask is do any of you really think that the

94
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: press doesn't hate Trump? So why do you get annoyed

95
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: when he says that that you do? Does anyone really

96
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: think that there hasn't been a massive media effort to

97
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: undermine this presidency from the start. Well, if we can

98
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: all agree that that's the case, what's the problem. Why

99
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: do they get mad when he says it? It's not

100
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: just trolling them, which is also great, it's that he

101
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: confronts them with basic realities that they object to and

102
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: can't handle. And meanwhile, he's he did agree he was

103
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: representing America doing a great job at the Davos thing.

104
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, here's Trump himself. The cutting of the

105
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: regulations was every bit as important as what we did

106
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: with the tax cuts. And but you put them both

107
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: together and we have a dynamic country again. I mean,

108
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: everybody's talking. I just came out and some really wonderful

109
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: people said, Davos has never been like this. This is

110
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: like walking into the Academy Awards, except we have more photography. Yeah,

111
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: that's right. Trump is an international celebrity even without being president.

112
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: And now yeah, yeah, the fact that he's the leader

113
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: of the free world. It's just good stuff. It's good.

114
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, the stock market setting all the

115
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: records that it is, I think it was up again

116
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: another record today. We've set eight four records since my

117
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: election record stock market prices, meaning we hit new highs

118
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: eighty four different times out of a one year period.

119
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: And that's a great things. And in all fairness, that

120
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: was done before we passed the tax cuts, and textually

121
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: for him, So what happened is really something special. Great companies,

122
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: they're all investing. Uh. When one of the gentlemen said

123
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: he's putting in two billion dollars because of the tax cuts,

124
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: I said to myself. Wow, he's actually the cheap one

125
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: in the group because they're putting in massive numbers of

126
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. So you can imagine if you're if

127
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: you're part of the mainstream media and you're out there

128
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: at Davos right now, not only are you having to

129
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: deal with the the the crumbling facade that you've been

130
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: working feverishly now for over a year to put up

131
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: there of just oh Trump, it's going to be disaster,

132
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: it's to be so bad. Things are not disastrous. Things

133
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: are going well in the country. And you've got all

134
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: these international dignitaries and big wigs and you know, fancy

135
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: pants and all the rest of it, and they're like

136
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: shaking hands with Trump. Listen to Trump clapping for him.

137
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: The head of Davos is saying, yeah, the press can't

138
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: get an easy break when you're Trump with the press,

139
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: Am I right? Am? I right? You know, that's that's

140
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: the last thing that the media wants to hear. And

141
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: they won't adjust, they won't do anything to to make

142
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: the necessary changes to be in line with reality that

143
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: rather run in this alternate reality of it's all it's

144
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: all terrible, it's all for them. It's a nightmare. The

145
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: success and prosperity of the United States and the the

146
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: victories of the President on the world stage are part

147
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: of their nightmare. They absolutely hate it. So today of

148
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 1: the show, I'm just gonna give you a sense of

149
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: where we're gonna go here. I'm gonna get into immigration

150
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: soon because is that's it's gotta be a focal point

151
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: of our discussion today. We've I mentioned yesterday what the

152
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: proposal is for a DOCCA deal. We'll be talking about that,

153
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: and I'm definitely want to hear from more of you

154
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: about this because I'm look, I can't get behind this.

155
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad deal. I don't understand why

156
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: Trump is well, maybe this isn't what the deal ends

157
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: up being. I keep saying that right but sounding right now.

158
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: When you get Steven Miller, the most hard line adviser

159
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: that the President has on immigration, saying this is the deal,

160
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: I tend to think that it probably is. So we've

161
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: got to dig down into that and we'll talk more

162
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: about it. We'll also get into the latest on the

163
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: FBI text messages and what's really going on here, what's

164
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: true and what's not about that. You will note that

165
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: your your humble radio servant over here told you a

166
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: few days ago that the whole Secret Society think they

167
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: were gonna say it's a joke. And now that's what

168
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: the story is, and it sounds like it was a joke,

169
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: at least that's what's accepted thus far. Uh So, I

170
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: want to look at what's real what's not on the

171
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: text messages, and we will get into that. Also, I'm

172
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: not sure you have time to talk more about the

173
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: flu season today. I'm just being a hypochondriact, but it's

174
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: really bad, and I'm thinking if everything i'm reading says

175
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna get a whole lot worse, we're gonna do that.

176
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: Trump wanted a fire. Muller and June people are talking

177
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: about obstruction. That's just nonsense. But we'll go there. We'll

178
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: smack that, we will buck slap that line of argument

179
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: down together. That'll be fun. And I've got a really

180
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: phenomenal guest coming up later in the show. We're gonna

181
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: spend some time with him here. He's calling in from

182
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: Mexico City and he's going to talk to us about

183
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: what's really happening with the cartels. I think that a

184
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: discussion about immigration and the border and border security without

185
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: an understanding of just how bad it is right now

186
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: south of the border is, it's incomplete. I think we

187
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: have to know what's going on there, and keep in

188
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: mind that whenever we're talking about the power of the

189
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: cartels and the drug lords down there, we are inherently

190
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: discussing a U S security and social policy problem because

191
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: the drugs are primarily flooding into our country. So when

192
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: you have really powerful, very violent cartels that are involved

193
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: in political corruption and international trafficking, including primarily into the

194
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: U S and the U S cities, that's got to

195
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: be a part of the discussion too. Before we start saying, yeah,

196
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a border wall built in five years. Okay,

197
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: well what happens for the next five years, folks? Is

198
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: there some stuff going on south of the borders. I

199
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: was saying that you're gonna it'll blow your mind. I

200
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: think we're gonna talk to a journalist who's down there

201
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: and recovering it for a long time about what the

202
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: ground truth is. It'll be coming up later on in

203
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: the show. So we're gonna make good use of our

204
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: time together on this Friday. Also, because we always like

205
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: to it. We'll have some fun. It is action movie

206
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: quote Friday. If you want to bring it to the

207
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: action movie quote master up, we have action areas yourself.

208
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: Question to a lucky well, do you a movie spot

209
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: of quote to me Fridays Action movie quote Fridays eight

210
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: four for eight, four for nine to eight to five.

211
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: Light up those lines. Team, let's have a chat. Let's

212
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: see what you think about all this stuff and more,

213
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: and I'll be right back. There's a tremendous spirit in

214
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: the United States. I would say it's a spirit like

215
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: I have never witnessed before I've been here for a while,

216
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: I have never witnessed the spirit that our country has

217
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: right now. So I just want to thank you all

218
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: and all of those that are pouring billions of dollars

219
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: into our country or ten dollars into our country. We

220
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Oh, there you have the President

221
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: speaking in front of all these fancy world leaders talking

222
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: about how America is kicking button taking names and isn't

223
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: it great? And thank you for investing money in us,

224
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: and we're gonna tread and do good things together and

225
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: it's all gonna be great. And the media just just

226
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: frothy mouth with rage. I just spittle coming out of

227
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: their mouths as they talk about this, because he's supposed

228
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: to be the buffoon, right the the you know, pajama clad,

229
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: cheeseburger eating couch potato super TV watcher, which, by the way,

230
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna be this weekend, I'm hoping. So

231
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: that's my plan for the weekend. Sounds great, but that's

232
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: what that's what the problem is here with the media.

233
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: They they've they've conjured up this one version of Trump

234
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: and what he's doing in the country, and it doesn't

235
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: square with the truth. And so they just have to

236
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: keep digging and digging and digging and hope that at

237
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: some point catastrophe will befall the country economically or otherwise,

238
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: and then they can say, see, we were right all along.

239
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: That's what they're dug in on. It's not gonna change.

240
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: But I think that's why maybe some people should actually

241
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: listen to, at least on this issue. That billionaire Tom

242
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: Steyer who bought those really annoying ads, you know, about

243
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Trump and stuff, and I forget even what it was about.

244
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: I just remember seeing Tom Steyer. I'm like, dude, you're

245
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: a billionaire, you know, do you really have to annoy us?

246
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: You're very lucky man. But he was right about this.

247
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: At least Dems are overconfident about the mid terms, or

248
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: maybe they're actually losing that confidence pretty quickly these days. Listen,

249
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: I think anybody who's a Democrat is overconfident about November

250
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: is wrong. I agree with your point that this is

251
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: going to be a very tough election. I think the

252
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is this is gonna be a

253
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: hotly contested election. It's gonna be too dramatically different views

254
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: of the country and our values. You talk about the

255
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: stock war, the stock market is basically benefits rich people.

256
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: It is going to be highly contested. I completely agree

257
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: with you, and I think anybody who is, you know,

258
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: over confident taking anything for granted is wrong. Well, he's

259
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: right that it's gonna be a tough election for Democrats

260
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: because on the the current trajectory, they're going to have

261
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: nothing to offer other than this bogus Russia collusion nonsense.

262
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: And they're not gonna want to have that fight publicly

263
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: if they're gonna want to win, I mean, they're they're

264
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: not gonna want to turn this into a Russia collusion referendum.

265
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: I think, based on what we have seen thus far,

266
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: they can go with that all day. Oh but Mueller,

267
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: don't worry vote for me. Mueller is gonna get Trump.

268
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I do not think so. There's

269
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: some more information about the FBI text messages that wasn't

270
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: about the Russia collusion part of all of this. It's

271
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: about that the fix was in for Hillary. So we've

272
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: got some more text message just that I wanted to

273
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: bring to your attention here. This is between Peter Struck

274
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: and Lisa Page. Never thought that they'd be quite as

275
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: famous as they are. I can promise you that they are.

276
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: They are now household names for anybody that's reading newspapers

277
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: or watching the news across the country. They're reading newspapers,

278
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: reading websites. I feel like, I don't think I've read

279
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: a newspaper, an actual physical newspaper, and I don't even

280
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: know how long, you know. And there's a difference, there's

281
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: like a generational difference to when my dad reads a newspaper,

282
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: he can like fold it and flip it and do

283
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, because he's used to it. For me, a newspaper,

284
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: I look like I'm trying to use it as a

285
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: bedsheet or something like I'm trying to like keep the

286
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: rain off me with it. I always I can't. It

287
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: like falls on me, and I'm not. I don't have

288
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: the dexterity in the hands too to handle the newspaper properly.

289
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: So that's a whole different that's a whole generational thing.

290
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: You know, you knick get old school with that newspaper.

291
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: You get used to, you know what, you guys know

292
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Why now do you even realize

293
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: how fast? Think about this, everybody, how fast your thumbs

294
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: are when you're typing text mat sages. I remember being

295
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: in computer class in the fifth or sixth grade and

296
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: using like one finger on each hand and kind of

297
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: poking at the keyboard, and that was pretty normal. A

298
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: lot of people couldn't really type, And now I can.

299
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: I can basically write a book on my phone with

300
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: my left hand, you know, just just doing It's it's

301
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: crazy how much better we've all gotten at this stuff.

302
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: What the heck was I talking about? Oh yeah, that's right.

303
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: So the text messages. Sorry I got well diverted there.

304
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: The text message is struck in page here's here's what

305
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: we've got in the new one. The last thing you

306
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: need page wrote is going in there loaded for bear expression.

307
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're all familiar with you think she's going

308
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: to remember or care that it was more d o

309
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: J than FBI. So this is more proof of what

310
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: we already knew. This is just following through on many

311
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: of the stories that I've been telling you about, and

312
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: the and the the analysis that we've been uh hammering

313
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: out together here in the Freedom Hunt. And that's that

314
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: they didn't want to charge Hillery. We know this. Of

315
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: course they didn't want a charge Hillery. Of course they

316
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: didn't want to charge Hillery. They thought you was gonna

317
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: be the president. What do you think your longevity as

318
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: a public servant would be, especially at the top level

319
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: of the d J in a Clinton administration, if they

320
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: had brought criminal charges about the emails that keep in mind,

321
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: maybe they could have brought charges and you made or

322
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: take some kind of a plea and just taking away

323
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 1: your security clearance probably. I mean, I know people say, oh,

324
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: she would have gone to prison for decades. Actually not true.

325
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: See I'm honest about this stuff. Some people lock her up, right,

326
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I get that, right. That's more of a

327
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: more of a slogan, I think than an actual policy director.

328
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: Very unlikely based on other cases of uh, that would

329
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: be like this, that would be recklessness, not maliciousness, right,

330
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: reckless instead of I'm actually gonna sell secrets or something

331
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: like that. That those would be treated differently under law,

332
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: and they have been in the past. But for a

333
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: recklessness case, you know, I don't know, maybe she would

334
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: have gotten some jail time. I don't know. The point

335
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: is that you didn't want to be in the top

336
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: of the d O J if Hillary turned out to

337
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: be the president and you had allowed that thing to proceed,

338
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: or even just be too tough on her. All right,

339
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: So we knew this, But then there's another added level.

340
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: It's not just oh, I don't want to get in

341
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: trouble with somebody who's the future president. There's the I

342
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: want to put my hand on this scale to help

343
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: her and defeat her opponent. And that's now where we

344
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: get more into the insurance policy and some of those

345
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: other texts. Right, one thing to say, gosh, Hillary is

346
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: the machine, the Democrat machine, and I wonder what's gonna

347
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: happen here if we actually do our jobs. Still an

348
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: advocation of duty, destruction of the the rule law. We'll talk

349
00:19:48,200 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: more about it. M. He's holding the line for America,

350
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: buck Sex in his back to read all of the texts, Uh,

351
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: it's clear that they did not want her charged. They

352
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: wanted her to be the president of United States. Um,

353
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: they really really didn't. Well, Donald Trump the President United States.

354
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: And they concede throughout these texts that they did things

355
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: differently in this investigation from any other investigation that they

356
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: were part of. You may remember, as I do, Jim

357
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: Comey telling us that the FBI doesn't give a wit

358
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: about politics. He he loved to tell us how a

359
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: political the bureau was. Uh. And here we have these texts.

360
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: Of course, our friends on the left say, well, these

361
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: are texts between two lovers. Yeah, that's right. You're much

362
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: more likely to tell the truth when you don't think

363
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: anybody else is watching. This. I think is the unvarnished

364
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: truth of how they viewed both her, him and the

365
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: investigation and how all they wanted it to turn out.

366
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, Tucker, all of this is done before

367
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: she was ever, so the fix was in. Unfortunately before

368
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: they even interviewed the target of the investigation. Trayd Right, everybody,

369
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: we know now that what we suspected all along, what

370
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: we thought all along, it's just irrefutably true. Hillary gotta

371
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: pass because of politics, and Trump is being ambushed and

372
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: stymied and harassed because of politics. And when the d

373
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: o J is doing the harassing, and when the d

374
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: o J is the one that's being used as a

375
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: weapon of policy or a weapon for policy reasons, for

376
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: political reasons, it's unacceptable. It's really a frightening place for

377
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: the country to be. And I think that of all

378
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: the of all the things that Trump has exposed by

379
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: just being who he is and being in office, obviously

380
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: the media is unhinged. Pro leftist, progressive sympathies at the

381
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: top of the list. But we expected that. I don't.

382
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: I don't think we could have known until Trump became

383
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: president and we've had to go through now this first year.

384
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: We could not have known that they would try and

385
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: end his presidency and that the d o J would

386
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: be a centerpiece in that. You'll notice they're not winning

387
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: the argument against Trump that they would expect at this

388
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: point after a year. Oh Trump's you know, his UH

389
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: approval rating would be you know, complete garbage, and he's

390
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: on the way out and they're all excited for the midterms.

391
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: Democrats are praying for catastrophe right now because absent that,

392
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: they're not going to have a chance at winning the

393
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: House or the Senate, and they're starting to figure that

394
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: out and they're not gonna be able to take Trump

395
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: down with this complete sham of an investigation. So this

396
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: is where we are. Eight four or four nine, d Buck,

397
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: if you want to call me, got a bunch of lines.

398
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: Let's let's get to it. Evelyn in Greensboro. What's up, Evelyn,

399
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: Hi there, Buck. I want to tell you about an

400
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: experience I had last night. I called the two oh

401
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: two White House number because I wanted to talk about

402
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: the you know that I think American citizens should have

403
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: a right to know it's in their face and memo,

404
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: and I encouraged Congress to release it. Well, I dialed

405
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: the number and for at least three minutes, there was

406
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: dead air, no recording coming up, nothing. You would think

407
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: that it's not in use. But I'm determined and I

408
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: stuck to that number and I waited. Finally, three minutes later,

409
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: you get someone to say, welcome to this number or whatever.

410
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: Another two minutes of silence. Then finally somebody comes in

411
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: and says, it's a recording that if you have a

412
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: comment to make as a constituent, press this number, and

413
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: so on press that number. Waited long again, and then

414
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: the message finally comes through. If you want to talk

415
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: to your senator, um, you know, and so on. So yes,

416
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to my senator. I'm the North

417
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: Carolina and I wanted to talk to Senator bark Well.

418
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: I finally got through where I could leave a message,

419
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: and this is going close to ten minutes and not

420
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: my message waiting, and I finally said what I wanted

421
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: to and what I said was I felt that as Americans,

422
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: we have a right to know what's in it and

423
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: it should be released in that I'm sick of the

424
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: corruption we've had over the past eight years or even before,

425
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: and it's trying to get this government on the right

426
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: pay it for the people. And I just thanked them.

427
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: I gave him my name and that was it. But

428
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: if anybody else called that number and got these blank spaces,

429
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: they would hang up. And I'm wondering if that is

430
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: really planned. I don't know. I think it just sounds

431
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: like government and competence. Although I do feel like we've

432
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: all just experienced this process with you now, so I

433
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's it's no fun to sit and wait,

434
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry that that was the case. Hopefully your

435
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: comment gets heard by somebody who will be able to

436
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: pass it along to the conresson I have. I'll be

437
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: honest with I have no idea how that comment line

438
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: works or any of that stuff. But good on you

439
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: for actually taking the initiative and making a phone call

440
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: and having your voice heard, and then having your voice

441
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: heard here on the show, Evelyn, which is coast to coast,

442
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, go ahead, just don't give up. We

443
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: won't give up. We're fighting. We're keeping our shields high here.

444
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: Thank you as always for calling in. Have a great weekend, Evelyn.

445
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: T J in Madrid, Ohio. I did not know there

446
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: wasn't Madrid, Ohio. I have learned something new. What's up,

447
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: t J. It's Madrid, Iowa. It's Madrid, real Madrid. That's

448
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: that's how we say it in Iowa. Are you serious?

449
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming it's like Madrid, Spain, right, I

450
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: mean that's how you spell it the exact same. But

451
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: if you guys say Madrid. So I was picturing for

452
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: a second. I was like, is this an enclave in

453
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: Ohio with lots of fantastic top us bars. It's Iowa too,

454
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: by the way. All right, call screener, got the wrong state.

455
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: Now you make me look like I really don't know anything.

456
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: It's in Iowa, not in Ohio. You put the wrong

457
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: initials up. I'm not even gonna say who it is

458
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: because I don't want embarrass anybody. But it wasn't me,

461
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: quote for you? Alrighty, hopefully hopefully don't call foul on it.

462
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: I guess if you get it right, and if I

463
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: get it right, then it's always a good quote. Yeah, yeah,

464
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: all right, pizza dude got thirty seconds. I got a

465
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: little bit more wise. Men say forgiveness is divine, but

466
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: never pay full price for half for late pizza. Ninja turtles,

467
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: you got alright? Al right? Whoa whoa settled down on

468
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: the the buzz there, guys, Come on, you're gonna um Yeah, no,

469
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: I I love the Ninja Turtle movies growing up, man,

470
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: I saw all of them. I used to watch the cartoons.

471
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: I was all about it. I was a Rafael fan,

472
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: you know. I never really liked that Leonardo too much

473
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: but too much of a kiss up I was. I

474
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: was a Rofaiel guy. I did think about doing a

475
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: Raffael from that movie, but Michael Angelo's hard to pass.

476
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: I think that's for the first version. That movie is

477
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: pretty good. Actually, a lot of parents thought it was

478
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: too violent at the time, and they had these demonstrations

479
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: if you remember where they were actually destroying teenage mutant

480
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtle merchandise because they thought the movie was too violent.

481
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: Movie was kind of violent, but I thought it was good.

482
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: It was Jimson was involved. I got it came out

483
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: in nineties, so I don't think my parents had much

484
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: to say, but fair enough my friend will Shield say

485
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: and thank you very much for the call to j

486
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I learned something new Madrid. Iowa. There

487
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: we go. Yeah, a little random fact that I know

488
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: that none of you will care about, but I just

489
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: want to share it. Anyway. I'm pretty sure that Chuck Lori,

490
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: who was the guy the creator of two and a

491
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: half Men is until two and a half Men. One

492
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: of his biggest media credits was that he wrote the

493
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: theme song for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles digit Teenage Mutant

494
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: Ninja two Turtles. Yeah, that that's that's right. See I did.

495
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of Teenage Turtles growing up. It

496
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. It was also at a time when

497
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: we all thought that like, if you did enough ninjitsu

498
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: and and enough you know, meditation and stuff, you could

499
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: beat up ten guys at once. It actually turns out

500
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: that you actually you have to like be in really

501
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: good shape and and learn how to fight to do that.

502
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: You can't just learn some moves and then you know,

503
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't really work that way for what I'm told anyway,

504
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: all right, enough of the teenage Munta Turtal. Sorry he

505
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: he just tapped into a part of my childhood there though.

506
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: I watched that stuff all the time. I saw all

507
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: the movies. I even saw the teenage Muntan Naturtle movie

508
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: where they got sent back to feudal Japan. So random, right.

509
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: That was three two Secret of the Use, in which

510
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Vanilla Ice makes an appearance. Go Ninja, Go Ninja Go

511
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: was the song. I could probably do all the words

512
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: right now. So it was very special. Apparently I am

513
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: very special to all right, let's get into the next.

514
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: Call Greg, my brother Greg out in Oklahoma City. What's up? Greg?

515
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: Fuck Uh? I just want to say stiel tide to

Speaker 1: with an official nick name. I was gonna say door

519
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,520

520
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: by the way they we're actually eating snakes. Did you

521
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: see that? It was the greatest thing I've ever seen

522
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: in my life. Tell them, tell the folks what this is,

523
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: because it was on the Twitter. So Sec de Mattis

524
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: went to Indonesia and there are special forces, did a

525
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: demonstration of courage and strength and all sorts of crazy stuff.

526
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: They walked through fire and then they bit the head

527
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: off live cobras that they had wrapped around their next

528
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: it was the coolest thing ever. And I want to

529
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: go to war with those guys. If you're buying that,

530
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: I'll put live cobras. I'm down. These guys were literally

531
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: biting the heads off of cobras in front of our

532
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense, everybody as they like, we are, we

533
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: are badass. Look at what we're doing. It was wow,

534
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: it was so amazing. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Anyway, I'm

535
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 1: glad you saw that too. I was like, my gosh,

536
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: this can't be real. Oh it is. I want to

537
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: talk about the little immigration plan or proposal or whatever

538
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: they're going to call it right now, and I'm kind

539
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: of like you. I'm half in half in this. Obviously,

540
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: as an evangelical Christian, I want to help as many

541
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: people as possible. Um. So I like the plan of

542
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: helping dreamers that have three no fold of their own

543
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: are here in America. But the other half of me

544
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: knows the Democrats too well. And while they're complaining that

545
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: this is a quote white supremacist deal, whatever that nonsense means,

546
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: we all know that this is just one step in

547
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: their real goal of giving amnesty to twenty or thirty

548
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: or however many millions of to the illegal aliens that

549
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: are in this country. Um and so, on that side,

550
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: I know that if they we agree to this deal,

551
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: the next damnasties two years, four years down the road,

552
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: whenever they get a president Democrat in and so I

553
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: want to say no to this deal. And I honestly

554
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: just want to say no to dreamers. Maybe they can

555
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: get some sort of status to be you know, legally here,

556
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: but not citizens, because as we know, they're changed. They

557
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: they want to change the demographics of this country. Um,

558
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: you know too million in time if they have to.

559
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: This is a long game for them. Oh yeah, no,

560
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: it absolutely is. Look I agree with you. I also

561
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: feel Look, I'm I'm a sympathetic guy, man, I try to.

562
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody unnecessarily to, you know, have their

563
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: hopes and dreams crushed. But at the policy level, and

564
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: when you're talking about rule of law stuff, you know,

565
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: there's no way to do this without making some people unhappy.

566
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: And I gotta put the interests and the long term

567
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: security and prosperity of my fellow Americans ahead of those

568
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: who are not not actually Americans. That's just the bottom line.

569
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: So Greg, thank you very much for calling him Man

570
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: Shields Hotti. You was always always gonna talk to my friend, Greg. Uh,

571
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna roll into a quick break your team.

572
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back more on immigration, for sure. I

573
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: didn't want to spend too much time on the he

574
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: here's the whole thing about the whether Trump thought about

575
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: firing Mueller. First of all, i'd be I'd be fine

576
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: with it. So there's that like, I'm like, yeah, fire him,

577
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: this is a joke that investigation should stop. There always

578
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: He's not gonna do it because it would I don't know.

579
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the media freaks out so much. Is there

580
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: even a different level of freak out for them to

581
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: go to? You know what I mean? Is Jim Acosta

582
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: gonna like show up in the in the West Wing

583
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: dressed in I don't know, a clown suit or something. Well,

584
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: there you go. What are they gonna do to show

585
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: their additional displeasure if you had Trump actually fire Mueller.

586
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see it, So I'm okay with it.

587
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: That's why people are like, oh, he at least he

588
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: didn't do it. I'm like, yeah, and obstruction. I reject

589
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: that too. He's allowed to fire him, And they say, well,

590
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: it depends on the reason. When somebody can fire you

591
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: for any reason, unless you have proof that the reason

592
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: is what you think it is, you're never gonna be

593
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: able to say otherwise. So it's just kind of a

594
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: waste of everybody's time. Alright, alright, immigration, more of that

595
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: coming up, and also action movie quotes in effect. I

596
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: want to throw those my way. We gotta. I want

597
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: to do some new ones for the intro there. We've

598
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: got some better ones, um and whatever else is on

599
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,200

Speaker 1: on the cartels. I think it's gonna be a really

602
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: interesting interview and you've get a lot of background on

603
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: why is the violence in Mexico so bad right now?

604
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: What's happening there, and how is it affecting us here

605
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: in the States Because it is, I think you can

606
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: all guess the media is not exactly running around trying

607
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: to tell us how bad things are going south of

608
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 1: the border right now. With the Cartels for a whole

609
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: bunch of reasons, we'll be right back. But for a

610
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: permanent fix, I have to say, of our immigration laws

611
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: and dis respect, we're going to need Congress to act.

612
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: The American people have known for more than thirty years.

613
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: American people are right about this that our immigration system

614
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: is broken. It's intentionally designed to be blind to marriage.

615
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't favor education or skill. It just favors anybody

616
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: who has a relative in America, and not necessarily a

617
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: close relative. That defies common sense. I've rejected usually the

618
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: formulation that immigration is broken in this country because it's

619
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: most of the problems I see it is an unwillingness

620
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: to enforce the laws that we already have. But I

621
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: would note that now the Trump administration and and Attorney

622
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: General Jeff Sessions has added into the mix not just

623
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: how do we deal with illegals, but how do we

624
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: deal with legal immigration as a part of the discussion,

625
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: which I think it's very important, And that's where you

626
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: can argue that it is it is broken. And you

627
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: see that that the formulation had been used by the

628
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: left to say it's broken, so we need to completely

629
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: reconstruct it more you know, more immigrants from more places

630
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: all over the world, you know more of what we're

631
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: already doing essentially, and now we can have a discussion

632
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: where we say, well, along a second, why would we

633
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: want chain migration over a merit based system? And the

634
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: good news is more people are finding out now I

635
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: think than ever before. Hey, Canada has a merit based system,

636
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: very multicultural place, very progressive, actually and many of its

637
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: political I know some of you, some of our Canadian

638
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: audience right now is like not here, but you know

639
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: what I mean some of the overall trends. I mean,

640
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: justin Trudeau, the guy's not exactly the second coming of Churchill.

641
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: But you've got immigration run by points systems in Australia,

642
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: in Canada, in a whole bunch of places, not not

643
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: racist countries, not racist policies. So why can't we adopt

644
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: some of what is done successfully by other First World, developed,

645
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: prosperous countries. Never mind the fact that you know, if

646
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: I showed up in the EU and said, hey, you know,

647
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: I want to be an EU citizen, doesn't work that way.

648
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: They wouldn't just be like, yeah, here's your passport. Right.

649
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: It's actually pretty hard from what I understand, And that's

650
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: if you're trying to do it the right way, and

651
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: you've got a degree and some skills, maybe you can

652
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: ring the bear. It's still hard. Anyway. Let's get into

653
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: some more of our calls. Here. Brian in Worcester, Massachusetts,

654
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: I know how to pronounce it. What's up, Brian? Hey Buck,

655
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: how are you doing tonight? I'm good? Thank you for

656
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: your call. Hey. You know this whole doctor deal that

657
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: Trump put out. I think it's actually politically a pretty good, uh,

658
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: pretty good idea that they put the Democrats in the

659
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: situation where they have to reject amnesty. And I think

660
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: the dreamers are going to start to see that and

661
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: start wondering, you know, what they're really up to. Well, okay,

662
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: so I was gonna go into this in just a moment.

663
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: But this is good because you're gonna help us transition.

664
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: What do you think they're gonna do? They're gonna the

665
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: Democrats will reject amnesty. I'm confused, absolutely, because it's Trump's deal.

666
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: They don't want a Republican deal to go. Okay, so yes,

667
00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: I get it. Again, I don't mean enough. I'm sorry.

668
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: Just this is what I was talking to Mike and

669
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: the rest of the team here a second ago, And

670
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: this is what we were discussing, which is, could this

671
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: be Trump showing that they won't even just they won't

672
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: take it just because Trump is offering it. Do you

673
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: think that's what's gonna happen with Warren? Oh? Yeah, Elizabeth

674
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: Warren is already rejecting it, so was Mackie. You know,

675
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: so I'm they're they're definitely going against this whole deal

676
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: just because it's from Trump is seeing it's you know that,

677
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: basically because of the wall. But with the Dreamers, they don't.

678
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: They care less about the wall than they do about

679
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: their own amnesty. All right, excellent call, Brian, Thank you.

680
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into this more rap of the break. Everybody,

681
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: stare right there. He's back with you now, because when

682
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops.

683
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Trump's immigration proposal

684
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: is out there and some of the base are upset.

685
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to count myself in that number. I

686
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: don't think this is a good deal if it goes

687
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: through as offered now. A negotiation is a series of

688
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: discussions that involved changes, compromises, concessions. I'm not sure what

689
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: the end result of this will be, and there could

690
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: be some gamesmanship, certainly on both sides. But Trump may

691
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: see this as an opportunity. There may be an opportunity

692
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: here for Trump, whether he intended it that way or not.

693
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: Let me explain. And I believe one of our previous

694
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: callers was was alluding to this, what if this is

695
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: unacceptable to Democrats out of hand right away. What if

696
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden and I think we're seeing this

697
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: happen right now. The Dreamer component of this is clearly

698
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: just the first step. This may be the negotiation over immigration,

699
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: over the deferred Action for childhood arrival population those covered

700
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: in that program. This may be the moment that what

701
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: I have been warning about all along, that this is

702
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: just the beginning of much more, that there will be

703
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: a mass amnesty and there will be more demands and

704
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: concessions on top of that that this will be This

705
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: will be exposed because of the offer that is too

706
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: generous for many on the Trump side of things in

707
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: terms of what it concedes to the other side. From

708
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: the outset, which is that there would be amnesty for

709
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: one point eight million or so illegal aliens who are

710
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: covered under the DOCCA program, I would note that that's

711
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: a there's a lot of people that would be allegedly

712
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: or apparently falling into the specific categorization of being brought

713
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: here before they were eighteen in a certain period of time.

714
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: That's a lot. When that happened, there's a lot of people, right.

715
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: I just would know how much checking was there of

716
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: who gets covered under the doctor program that applies for it.

717
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: I would evenly bet very little. But here's what we're

718
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: already seeing. The other side isn't saying, Wow, Trump might

719
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: be Trump might be breaking a campaign promise. Here, great,

720
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: let's go into this with good facion, faith negotiation. No. Now,

721
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: the extreme elements, the extremest elements of the Democrat progressive

722
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: left on immigration are being exposed right now. You're seeing

723
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: more and never missing an opportunity to pander to the

724
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: most progressive parts of the Democrat Party. You have Nancy

725
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: Pelosi making this just explicitly a racial issue. She says,

726
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: while I'm on the subject of Dreamer, since last night

727
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: the President put forth a plan. Let me just say

728
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: what I said last night. That plan is a campaign

729
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: to make America white again. It's a plan that says

730
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: over of the current legal immigration will be cut back,

731
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: that many people will be sent out of the country.

732
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: Very interesting. Nancy Pelosi, who is just an utter propagandist,

733
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: who has no moral or policy corps to speak of, right,

734
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 1: just with whatever will chase power for the Democrat left.

735
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: However she can, in every way that she can, does

736
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: not realize that it was and if an official written

737
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: promise of Teddy Kennedy, who was involved in the creation

738
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: of most of our current immigration policy back with the

739
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: Immigration Act of nine in sixty five. I think it

740
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 1: was so that this would not be used to alter

741
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: the ethnic composition of the country. That was that was

742
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: the lion of the Democrat Party, right, the lion of

743
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: chap Aquittic Teddy Kennedy. That was what he was pushing

744
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: for back then. But now it's very interesting, isn't it.

745
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: You'll have MSNBC and others that will they openly celebrate

746
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: the demographic change in the country. Is that that that

747
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: that's an inherently good thing? And if anybody says, well,

748
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: I kind of like the way America has been up

749
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: until this point. I don't think we should keep up

750
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: ending this and and changing it. They're considered that's racist.

751
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 1: Now we're being told that's racist. Oh okay, So that's

752
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: where this is going to come down to you. I

753
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: would know. That's also why the media jumped on the

754
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: Trump blank whole comments so much, because they're trying to

755
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: make this a racial issue in the hopes that they

756
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: know they're not going to scare away Trump's based on this,

757
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: but they can pressure enough undecided or persuadable voters that

758
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: in the midterms this will pay off for them. They

759
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: prefer the moral blackmail of support our near open borders

760
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: policies and the lawlessness that comes with a legal immigration

761
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: or else you're a racist. That's that, that's the moral

762
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: blackmail that they are offering to people, or that they

763
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: are threatening people with. Right, you better support us or else.

764
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: And then I saw some of the recent responses from

765
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: dreamer advocacy groups, which it's just it's amazing that this

766
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: is where we are in this debate, in this discussion.

767
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: These are people who are in violation of US law.

768
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: That that is a fact. And somebody, whether it's them

769
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: or their parents, knowingly violated US law for the very

770
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: clear advantage of being in this country. This is being

771
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: in a whole lot of other countries, right being in

772
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: being in America, just being here is a special thing,

773
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: and no one will be held account to account for it.

774
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: That's what they're planning. That's what the only acceptable outcome

775
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: is from the dreamer perspective. They can't be held to account,

776
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: their parents can't be held to account, and all the

777
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: people that have been waiting for years, even for decades

778
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: to come into America. Legally, they're just chumps. According to

779
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: the Dreamers, they're just you know, sorry, you couldn't walk here,

780
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: so stinks to be you. That's what they're saying. It's

781
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: even worse than that. There's a group out out there

782
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: called United We Dream, which is the largest Dreamer advocacy group,

783
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: and they have called Trump's offer to legalize one point

784
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: eight million and even possibly give them citizenship. Everybody. They

785
00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:00,240
Speaker 1: have called Trump's offer a quote white supremacist ransom note

786
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: end quote white supremacist Ransomly, you'll notice Nancy Pelosi also

787
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: saying this is a campaign to make America white again.

788
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: They are trying to morally blackmail and and to browbeat

789
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: the American people into thinking that any restrictions on immigration

790
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: from poorer parts of the world is based in racism,

791
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: not based in the economic realism of we can't support

792
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: a giant welfare ward in this country that is endless.

793
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: That is just the constant uh importation of the developing

794
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: world's problems. That's actually an issue for us. We do

795
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: have a debt bomb in this country. I don't talk

796
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 1: about it that much because it will become a boring

797
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: topic if I hit it all the time. But yes,

798
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: we will eventually run into problems if we lose our

799
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: status as the reserve currency, whether it comes through an

800
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: unsustainable debtload, or through cryptocurrency, or any number of other problems.

801
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what the economic future of this country

802
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: looks like. Nobody does if if any of those things happen,

803
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: there's some very unsettling scenarios that could play out. But

804
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: bringing in large larger numbers. Even then, we already have

805
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: of individuals from around the world who don't speak the language,

806
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: have no attachment to the culture, have no attachment to

807
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: the traditions and history of rule of law in this country,

808
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: and just view this as somehow they're right because Democrats

809
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: tell them. It is because it benefits benefits Democrats power

810
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: and their base. That is not a recipe for success.

811
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: But the tactics of the Democrat Party are being exposed now.

812
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: We are seeing it here. You have Dreamers that are

813
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: said this Dreamer organization that is calling it a white

814
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: supremacist ransom. Note, so what does that mean? Now? It

815
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: has to be dreamers. The legal aliens is actually what

816
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: they are called illegal aliens covered under DOCCA I'll say

817
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: coverner DOCCA, because that is a program of the federal

818
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: government that is a real thing. Legal aliens covered under DOCTA,

819
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: their parents and family members of their parents, and family

820
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: members of their parents, family members and the family members

821
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: of the DACA recipients who are not currently in the country.

822
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: And how many million are we at right now? You think, folks,

823
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: at one point it's going to turn into about six

824
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: or seven real fast. Does anybody seriously think if we

825
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: legalize six or seven million people that are all tied

826
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: into this, that then you're not gonna have to You're

827
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: not gonna be forced politically to legalize the other three

828
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: or four that are already in the country. And and

829
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: by the way, and now they get to bring their

830
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: family members to that aren't already here. I mean, this

831
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: is what we're facing now. You see this, They've are

832
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: They've tipped their hand. Trump has made an offer that

833
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: is too generous for much of his base that people

834
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: I know are screaming about is a terrible deal. Of

835
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: terrible deal. I've been a little more circumspect about. Okay,

836
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: I see problems, but I want to know how this

837
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: plays out. I I mean, there's there's no there's really

838
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: only two options. Trump either says, yeah, we'll do something

839
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: to legalize the doctor recipients, or Trump says, forget the

840
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: Democrats were going on our own here, We're gonna ramp

841
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: things through and go all the way. I know a

842
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: lot of you are like, yeah, Buck, that's the option

843
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,439
Speaker 1: you should do. But those are the options. But we're

844
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 1: seeing that the first isn't even really an option because

845
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats because of the demands that are being made,

846
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: And what will that tell us? Where does the immigration

847
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 1: debate go when it's not even enough to give Democrats

848
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: one point eight million legalized illegals because they want they

849
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: want the whole thing that they're taking a maximum only position.

850
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: That's what I think we're heading for right now, because

851
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: you'll note that if we end change migration and change

852
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: the legal immigration system, that's that's getting the issue in

853
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: a way that not a lot of Republicans were even

854
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: talking about in the pre Trump era at all. That

855
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: is big Democrats know this. They've never intended The whole

856
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: DOCTA thing is a fraud. They have never intended to

857
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 1: just apply legal protection to people that were brought here

858
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: as children. DOCCA is the trojan horse for the rest

859
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: of the amnesty and pro illegal program. So how do

860
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: we deal with that, that's the truth of it. How

861
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: do we deal with it? Well, Trump is putting forward

862
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: this policy which will be negotiated and dealt with by

863
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: members of Congress, and it will be litigated out in

864
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: the media at some level, and is forcing the other

865
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: side to expose what their true agenda here really is.

866
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: But that's what I think is so interesting about this

867
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: current discussion that Trump has said, Okay, fine, I'll do

868
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: something that would even someone even say, I'll even sell

869
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: out my base to get a deal done if I

870
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: have to. Does he know or or whether he knows

871
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: or not, this seems to be what's happening that the

872
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: other side comes back and says, I don't care if

873
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: you'll do one point eight million, it's got to be

874
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: more than that. It's got to be one point eight

875
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: million as a down payment on a twelve million person amnesty,

876
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: and you have to keep chain migration, so that twelve

877
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: million person amnesties really more like twenty or thirty. Goodbye,

878
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: my fellow Americans. Too limited government, to rule of law,

879
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: to limitations on the welfare state too. I mean just

880
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be a free for all of leftist

881
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: politics for as long as as far as the I

882
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: can see, and as long as anybody can even imagine.

883
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: That's what's at stake here. This is this is very big.

884
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: This is not a minor policy issue at all, and

885
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: I want everyone to have clear eyes on it. All right,

886
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: we'll be back with your calls here in just a minute.

887
00:51:52,800 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: Stay with me. Our goal is not to see how

888
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: many people we can arrest. That's not what our purpose is,

889
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: but to in the illegality and to restore in this

890
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: country a legal system of immigration. And we want people

891
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: to apply and if and wait their turn, and if

892
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: they're not selected, they are not entitled to come into

893
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: the country illegally. It's just that simple. Once that's established,

894
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 1: people will start, I believe, in large numbers from making

895
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: this dangerous attempt. Perhaps more importantly, the wall will send

896
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: a message to the world that in the United States

897
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: of America, we enforced the laws of this country. Attorney

898
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: General Jeff Sessions is probably most valuable on this issue

899
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 1: of immigration. This is the one that he has the

900
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: most useful and deep knowledge on it, especially as compared

901
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: to other senior officials in any administration, and your this

902
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: is gonna get into be this is gonna be fight

903
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: a fight ahead. I would note that Time magazine, which

904
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: is still a thing, apparently I didn't know. I thought

905
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: maybe it had folded, or I mean it should have,

906
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: but it hasn't yet. Apparently Time magazine has on its

907
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: cover we are Americans with the asterisk just not illegally,

908
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 1: and then there's a photo. I'm assuming that they're all

909
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: illegals in the cover, I mean, because they're saying we

910
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: are Americans, just not legally. And this is now part

911
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: of it. The controlling of the messaging. The don't use

912
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 1: the term illegal alien, say uh, say illegal immigrant, and

913
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: then say undocumented immigrant, and now say dreamer. It's all

914
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: this is all a form of perception management. This is

915
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: information operation. This is mind control, folks. That's what they're doing.

916
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: By controlling the language, they control the perception and this

917
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 1: notion that it doesn't matter anymore that you have people

918
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: who are in the country illegally. This has to be rejected.

919
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: If amnesty is okay, now, I need to know why

920
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: amnesty for another ten million in another ten years is

921
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: not a moral obligation of this country. Because it's we're

922
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: not deporting a whole lot of people that are in

923
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 1: the country right now, obviously, so why want more people?

924
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: Just come? All right, We've got a whole bunch of

925
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: calls coming in. Now, let's get let's go. Okay, Felix

926
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, you've been awhile, Felix. How you doing, hello,

927
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: Buck Shields High Fields side Felix. You know what, this

928
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: is a very frustrating issue, you know, And I think

929
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: I have the answer for it. There is a third option.

930
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: One stock expires, they just start enforcing the law of

931
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: the land. Yeah. That would also be an option, wouldn't it. Yeah,

932
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: And then you can blame the Democrats for everyone that

933
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: gets deported. And you know, the other thing that nobody

934
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 1: points out is that I have a number of friends

935
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: who legally emigrated became citizens of the United States from Nigeria,

936
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 1: from the Dominican rep public, you know. And the people

937
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: who are legal immigrants to naturalize US citizens, they have

938
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,760
Speaker 1: no love loss for legal aliens. Yeah, because they remember

939
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 1: what it was like to go through the process, which, look,

940
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: I admit is is a difficult than pretty owner's process

941
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases to come into the country legally,

942
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: and you've got people that are look, it's it's line cutting.

943
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: You know, how many of us they Felix, thank you

944
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: for calling him brother? How many of us have been

945
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 1: a situation where you know, you're waiting in line for

946
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, an airport security or a movie ticket line

947
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: or something, and people skip the line. It annoys you,

948
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: doesn't it It's not cool. It's wrong. Well, immigration, that's

949
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 1: what illegal aliens have, don't They have skipped, They have

950
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: cut in front of the line. There's a big line

951
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: together to the country, and it's not it's not supposed

952
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 1: to be a big charitable enterprise. I mean, I know

953
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: that we've been we've been fed all this stuff and

954
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: doing the jobs Americans won't do. The The storyline keeps

955
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: shifting too. You know. Now's if you don't if you

956
00:55:55,680 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: don't approve of mass amnesty and more mass migraine and

957
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: legal and illegal in the country, you're racist. Okay. Already

958
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 1: we have a debt burden and that's probably unsustainable discussion

959
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: for another day. We have taxation that's still even with

960
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: the tax cuts from the Trump administration, still paying way

961
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: too much in taxes. So and I just would note

962
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: that all this stuff that they're saying about illegals, you

963
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,240
Speaker 1: know how one illegal? Come on, don't break up families

964
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 1: and all this. You can say to people who don't

965
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: want to pay their taxes. What would happen if Republican

966
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: administration came in and said, we're just not going to

967
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: force the law against people who just really feel like

968
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 1: they shouldn't pay federal income taxes. I know a lot

969
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: of people that would probably say, you know what, here,

970
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: I'll send you the percentage that goes towards the military

971
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: and and you know, my Social Security and Medicaid, Medicare

972
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: and the rest of it. You know that's on you.

973
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: I know a whole lot of people probably just say,

974
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not paying I pay taxes, my

975
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: buy stuff, I pay taxes all the time. I'm not

976
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: paying income tax If you're not gonna come after me

977
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: with the with the feds, what would happen then? Oh? No,

978
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 1: trust me, they would love. They're still locking people up

979
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 1: for that. But you know, you better pay your taxes

980
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: or else you get to prison. You better obey federal law,

981
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: or else you go to prison. Unless you're illegal, then

982
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: then you get a pass and not just on being

983
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: here illegally. I would note document fraud, not filing tax returns,

984
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. Different laws for them, folks, different laws.

985
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: It's just true. We have Oh no, actually I can't

986
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: because I've got about thirty seconds, So we'll take some

987
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: more of your calls after this. I've got coming up,

988
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: you own Grillo on the cartels. That will be the

989
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: next hour. It's gonna be a really interesting conversation. I've

990
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: been doing a lot of research on it, and there's

991
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: short version is that there's a blood bath going on

992
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: in Mexico with the cartels right now, and very few

993
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: people are talking about it. It's really the worst it's

994
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: ever been, the worst it's ever been. Everyone think about

995
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,959
Speaker 1: that and what that means for us and the drug

996
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: trade into this country. We had sixty thou people roughly

997
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: who died of opioid overdoses last year. Some percentage of

998
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: that tied to cartel activity. I mean, I can't tell

999
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: you what it is. I'm looking into it right now.

1000
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: We'll also be joined by Emily's a Noddy to talk

1001
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,919
Speaker 1: about some of the Me Too movement moments from this week,

1002
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: and we'll take some of your calls. Eight four, four,

1003
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: buck eight Fight to five. Can't put the show's half done.

1004
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Other shows just talk at you.

1005
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: In the Freedom Hunt, we have a mission. We fight

1006
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: for the truth in a team effort, and buck us

1007
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: back with our next play. I don't even know if

1008
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: it's worth me talking about, but I guess I've started,

1009
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: So I'll just have a couple of quick words to

1010
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: say on it. That you had this guy who wrote

1011
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: the Fire and Fury book Wolf already discrediting himself left

1012
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: and right, but then on top of it, now he's

1013
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: apparently part of this effort to spread a rumor out

1014
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: there that there was a an alleged affair with Nicky Haley,

1015
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: U S Ambassador United Nations and with Nicky Haley and

1016
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: President Trump. Look, I mean, which is just completely preposterous,

1017
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: in a disgrace. And yeah, I I just here you

1018
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: have a woman who is doing such a good job

1019
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: for the administration and is a real threat to the

1020
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: Democrats going forward, because she's going to be a force

1021
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: to be reckoned with should she choose to run for

1022
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: any number of offices, including I think the presidency. And

1023
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: that you just have these journalists who are to to

1024
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: borrow in O'Reilly is um here? Smear merchants. You know,

1025
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: that's just what they do. This is just who they are,

1026
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: and that they would spread this garbage about Ambassador Haley

1027
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: just goes to show you that their whole Oh you know,

1028
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: the the me too, the me tooisms of many journalists

1029
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: are largely driven by politics. So there we have it. Uh,

1030
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: let's get into the calls here. You got a lot

1031
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: of calls. When I get into some of them. Kent

1032
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: in Greensboro, North Carolina. What's going on, Kent? Oh, not

1033
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: too much, Buck, I like the show. Thanks for taking

1034
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: my call. Thank you you, uh, you know, being a

1035
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: X you know c I a X analysts, I believe,

1036
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: correct actually, and you'll talk about it from toime to

1037
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: tome I believe. One time. I remember I can't remember

1038
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: exactly what the quote was, but you said something to

1039
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: the effect of it, it's like a factory for mediocricy

1040
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: or something that I think I did say. It is

1041
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: a mediocrity factory. Mediocrity factory about the federal government in general.

1042
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 1: But yes, that is true. Well, yeah, bureaucracy is what

1043
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: you were talking about. You know, CEA is such a

1044
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: common topic you talk about anything on the Internet and

1045
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: you research anything, the CIA clumps up and then you

1046
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: you try to understand the CIA and how it functions

1047
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: and all this sort of stuff, and you know, you

1048
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: have these people over here saying that you know it's

1049
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: run by Satan himself, and then you have this group

1050
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: over here saying that you know they don't do any wrong.

1051
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: And can I just interject one thing here real quick?

1052
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Ken isn't an interesting how? How? It's it's kind of

1053
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: it's a commonplace to think the c I a for

1054
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of particularly leftists in this country.

1055
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: But do you think the CIA is capable of any evil? Right?

1056
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean conspiracy theories, But the CIA gets so much traction.

1057
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: But that a few FBI and do O J folks

1058
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: may have been trying to help Hillar win the election.

1059
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: That's just crazy, right it is? Think about this, right?

1060
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Why is the FBI beyond reproach but the CIA get

1061
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: trashed with nonsense all the time? Right? Right? I don't

1062
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: know not. My question is, though, what would be well

1063
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: from your experience one of some good public information on

1064
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: the CIA that you would you believe is it is

1065
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: somewhat realistic as far as how it functions, and it's

1066
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: it's pros and cons and all that sort of stuff.

1067
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: That's that's a very good I'm sorry, Ken, it's a

1068
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: very good question. I'll give you a few a few

1069
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: quick answers for an overview. There's a book that I

1070
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: actually read before I started the agency on a friends

1071
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: recommendation called Inside the CIA by Ronald Kessler, and it's

1072
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: very it's a very good, thorough overview. Maybe has had

1073
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: to be updated. I think it was published like twenty

1074
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: years ago. There's probably an updated version, but it's it's

1075
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: a good book. Um So, Inside the CI by Ronald

1076
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Kessler is a nice overview of the agency. And then

1077
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:44,439
Speaker 1: I would just say pick some of the memoirs. There's

1078
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of them of senior folks in the

1079
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: agency in recent years. I mean, I any of the

1080
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: any of the big memoirs will give you a pretty

1081
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: good sense of what's going on there. So you know,

1082
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,439
Speaker 1: I wouldn't get the controversial memoirs are the ones where

1083
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: like they didn't if somebody didn't get properly cleared or something.

1084
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: I'd stay away from that just because there's a lot

1085
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: of there's gonna be a lot of sensationalist chest stumping

1086
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: in those ones. But there's there's so many I can't

1087
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: even think of any up top of I have it

1088
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: basically all the top. All the directors in recent years

1089
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: write books, So if you want to know what's going on,

1090
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: I would write I would read one of the director's books.

1091
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: But Kessler is a journalist, so you could read his

1092
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: overview and that would be Those would all be good

1093
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: places to go. Um, there's the book Left of Boom.

1094
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 1: That's a good one. I really enjoyed that one. That's

1095
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: a memoir. You can read that book. Uh, Jawbreaker, excellent book. Um,

1096
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: So I would read that one, Jawbreaker Left of Boom,

1097
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: or two of the memoirs I like more so I

1098
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: would check those out, and then Kessler's inside the CIA

1099
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: for an overview, and then eventually buck Sexton's version of

1100
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: the Intelligence community. But that's gonna take me some time

1101
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: to write. Shields. HI can't thank you for calling in.

1102
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: I hope that answered the question. Um, folks, I know

1103
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: I said I'd take more calls, but actually I just

1104
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: realized we've got to get in just a few minutes here.

1105
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: We've gotta get to Uh, Emily's a naughty so if

1106
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: you don't mind being paid it, we can hopefully get

1107
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: in some calls coming up after that interview. But then

1108
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: we've also got you on Grillo joining us from from

1109
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Mexico on the cartels, So I just want to let

1110
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: you know there's gonna be a bit of a of

1111
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: a hold there. We've got Emily coming up to talk

1112
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: about some me too stuff. Emily is always a fun chat,

1113
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: so we're looking forward to that. And then, like I said,

1114
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: next hour, we're spending at least at least a segment,

1115
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: probably a couple of segments with your own Grillo from

1116
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Mexico to talk about the cartels and the blood bath

1117
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: right now between the cartels and that's killed about thirty

1118
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: thousand people last year. Stay with me, we'll get into that.

1119
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: More cryptocurrency, my friends, it is in the news once again,

1120
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: and this time for reasons that are concerning to those

1121
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: of us who dabble in a little crypto investing. I

1122
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: will just say this, I've been speaking to as many

1123
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 1: of folks out there as I can who understand finance

1124
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: and have some sense also of the techn oology involved here.

1125
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: For those of you who are like, how does this

1126
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: affect me or why do I care if you're not

1127
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: investing in crypto personally, And I'm not even sure investing

1128
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: is really the right term for this Bitcoin and ethereum

1129
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: and these other cryptocurrencies that are out there, all of

1130
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: them together. Based just on the volatility, the up and

1131
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: down moves of the market day to day, it feels

1132
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: a lot more like gambling. You can see this happen, uh,

1133
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: any day of the week, You'll look at a cryptocurrency

1134
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: and it might be up, down, up thirty. This is

1135
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: not like the stock market. This is not long term

1136
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: uh stuff I'm talking about in terms of the up

1137
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: and down movement and the the long term implications of this,

1138
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: as I've discussed briefly on the show, are a complete revamp,

1139
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: a kind of redo of the global financial market. Because

1140
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,439
Speaker 1: if this works, as some conceptually believe that it will,

1141
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: now there are others who say this is just a

1142
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: giant bubble and its world's greatest Ponzi scheme, And there's

1143
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: a lot of doubters out there. And any time I

1144
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: will note, any time you see a big drop, particularly

1145
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: in bitcoin, social media is just full of people saying,

1146
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: see you told you guys. Meanwhile, there are other people

1147
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: that are driving around in videos with their Lamborghini saying, yeah,

1148
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: I just invested in bitcoin years ago, right, So who's right?

1149
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. All I know is that Japanese

1150
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: a Japanese cryptocurrency exchange lost more than five hundred million

1151
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: dollars two hackers um that just hitting today. This courtesy

1152
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: of CNBC. The exchange is called coin check, and it's

1153
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: said earlier today that it had lost that five three

1154
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 1: million of its n e M coins were sent to

1155
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: another account around three am local time. The stolen coins

1156
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 1: worth about fifty eight billion yen, and coin check management

1157
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: says that it held the n e M coins and

1158
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: a hot wallet, referring to a method of storage that

1159
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: is linked to the internet. So this is You're gonna

1160
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 1: see a lot more of this because as these different

1161
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: crypto coins pop up, this is relying on technology that

1162
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: so few people understand. I actually can tell you I

1163
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: heard from a friend of mine. We have a mutual

1164
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: acquaintance who is literally a PhD in astrophysics from I

1165
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: can't remember if it's Harvard Yale, I think from Harvard's.

1166
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: He's a PhD in astrophysics from Harvard and he was

1167
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: talking about crypto and he says that even he's like,

1168
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't know somebody who has a particularly robust understanding

1169
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: of highly complicated mathematics and computer science. And he was

1170
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: just like, I maybe it's maybe it's the future, or

1171
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: maybe it's all a big joke. He can't really tell,

1172
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: but I would just say that this does feel a

1173
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: lot more like gambling. For those of you who don't

1174
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: know the way it works. Now, you can download on

1175
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 1: your smartphone and app and you transfer money from your

1176
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: bank out into that app. And by the way, I'm

1177
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: not encouraging anybody to do this because it is highly,

1178
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: highly risky, volatile stuff. That's a this is a totally

1179
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: you and you alone decision. But I'm just saying it's

1180
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: so easy to do it. You can download this app

1181
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:16,600
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you can start investing in

1182
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 1: all these different cryptocurrencies. And you know, the old school

1183
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: investor mentality is you know, you buy some if you

1184
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: bought ge and last decade or so, it's been a really,

1185
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: really bad investment. But you know, you buy a big company,

1186
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: you get dividends and it grows over time and smart

1187
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: long term investing pays off crypto coins. You know people

1188
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: I have friends who have made three, four, seven times

1189
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: on their money over the course of less than a year.

1190
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: And I mean if they've shown me their accounts, so

1191
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: I've seen it and I'm just amazed at what's going

1192
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: on here. But you can't can't continue like this forever.

1193
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 1: Something's gonna change. I don't know what it is. Uh.

1194
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 1: And like I said, it is like gambling. And as

1195
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: long as somebody thinks about it in that way, I

1196
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: think they're on pretty safe ground. It's like you're going

1197
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: to a poker table and you could lose everything. It's

1198
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: not It's not safe long term investing. Some people would

1199
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: come on and say, oh, well, I'm in it for

1200
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 1: the long haul and great. You know, God bless them.

1201
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: If they're real believers in this, they know stuff that

1202
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea how to gauge

1203
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: is really one way or the other. I do know

1204
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:25,759
Speaker 1: that the theoretical application for this that it would create

1205
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: an unfalsifiable, completely traceable and trustable that's really a word

1206
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: record of financial transactions that all you need access to

1207
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: is the Internet. That would change so much. Just think

1208
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: of right now, I don't know how many of you

1209
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: had this situation recently, but if you take your four

1210
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: oh one K from one company and you gotta move

1211
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: it to another one, I've had to deal with this.

1212
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: They like want to send you a check, and I

1213
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: get it's all this a lot of middlemen and policies

1214
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: and regulations and restrictions. If you had a perfect ledger

1215
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: that could not be hacked or falsified because the ledger

1216
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 1: exists so to speak, on all the different computers that

1217
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: have it, so it would not be possible to just

1218
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: or I should say theoretically it's not possible to change

1219
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: it without each person along the chain knowing. Ah, then

1220
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: you'd be able to transfer money and not have to

1221
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 1: worry about all these middlemen, and it'll wildly changed the

1222
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: or dramatically better word than wildly dramatically changed the business

1223
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: of brokerages and investment banks and all these kinds of places.

1224
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: So I think it's a really important technology. It's a

1225
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: fascinating just financial situation right now. But when I see

1226
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: that five million dollars got hacked on that that's a

1227
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 1: lot of money, folks. Somebody was able to steal five

1228
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,960
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars basically by sitting at their computer and

1229
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,560
Speaker 1: hacking something. That's you know, and when you when you

1230
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: think about this versus you know, the old school way

1231
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: to steal money was you gotta roll up in a

1232
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 1: car and you know, you got like a you got

1233
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: a pistol and you say, you know, fill this bag

1234
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: with money and you could get shot at it all.

1235
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 1: And that's for like, you know, maybe a hundred grand

1236
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 1: in cash and the register at the bank or wherever. Right,

1237
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: that's now the bad guys can just steal five. I

1238
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: mean Hans Gruber had to take over the whole Nakatomi

1239
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: tower in die Hard trying to get a few hundred

1240
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 1: million dollars in German bearer bonds. Yeah, that's right. I

1241
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: remember he wants to be on a beach, and now,

1242
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: Hans Booby, he could just be sitting on a beach

1243
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: somewhere with his laptop. The fictional character of Hans Gruber

1244
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:35,600
Speaker 1: hacking into one of these coin based exchange or cryptocurrency

1245
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 1: exchanges coin bas is one of them. And I guess

1246
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 1: they think they'll catch him at some point. What if

1247
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: he's in a non extradition treaty country, Well, what are

1248
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 1: we really gonna do if there's a hacker and say

1249
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 1: North Korea that steals a few billion dollars of crypto,

1250
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 1: guess what, not a lot from what I can tell.

1251
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: So I'm just I'm watching this one and I think

1252
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: this is I'd like to get another crypto expert on

1253
01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: here soon to talk about where all this is going,

1254
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 1: because we're talking now about gosh, I don't even know

1255
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: what the full scale of the value is, but I'm

1256
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the cryptos when you put it together,

1257
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars that sounded about.

1258
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: That's what I think it is. And how many by

1259
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: the way, you got any or any of you in

1260
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:20,639
Speaker 1: dabbling in the crypto? No smart, don't you know? Be careful.

1261
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: It's like it's like playing with fire. Friend of mine

1262
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: and I were talking about it earlier this week. We

1263
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,839
Speaker 1: both pulled our our exchange, you know o our crypto

1264
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: apps out and just like man, this is wild and

1265
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: no one even really understands the underhall. I say, nobody

1266
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: very if you believe I understand the underlying mathematics and

1267
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: computer science behind it. But anyway, it is what it is.

1268
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get into a discussion here in a few minutes.

1269
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 1: We've got a guest coming up. We're gonna talk about

1270
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: the cartels. I have read this book Narcos or sorry,

1271
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 1: El Narco. Narcos is the TV show on Netflix El Narco,

1272
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 1: written by Jone Grilloh. It's a really good book, and

1273
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 1: I have been researching on my own, including looking up

1274
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 1: different open source government documents and looking at what's going

1275
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 1: on with the cartels in Mexico. Because it's very bad

1276
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: right now and you're not getting that sense from the

1277
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: day to day news cycle. I'll give you some of

1278
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 1: the statistics on the side of the break here, but

1279
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: it's as violent as it's ever been. It is violence

1280
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: on a scale that is also uh affecting governance and

1281
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: the future governing institutions of Mexico. The cartels have spread

1282
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: their tentacles well beyond just the US. Mexico and the

1283
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:41,799
Speaker 1: America's cartels are actually making a lot of money sending drugs,

1284
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: and I'm talking Mexican based cartels, sending drugs to Europe,

1285
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 1: to Australia. Um. They have expanded. It's not just any

1286
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,759
Speaker 1: any one drug or few drugs. Pretty much every substance

1287
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,680
Speaker 1: that they can every illegal substance they can get a

1288
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 1: lot of money for on the black market. Meth Amphetamine

1289
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 1: has come huge. One of the big changes is actually

1290
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: that meth amphetamine because it's not it doesn't require cultivation

1291
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: of land, and all you need are some chemists, and

1292
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 1: there are some young chemists who don't have a good

1293
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: way of making money in some of these cities like

1294
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,679
Speaker 1: Guadalajara in Mexico, and it's very easy for the cartels

1295
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 1: to come along and hire them those you have seen

1296
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: breaking bad. That's much more like the real, real life

1297
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: situations than a lot of people know. And they are

1298
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: able to flood the market with meth amphetamine tremendous amount

1299
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: of money in that and it's a lot harder to

1300
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:37,560
Speaker 1: track and find um because there's no no spray operations.

1301
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 1: It's not like you have to grow it. It's made

1302
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:42,639
Speaker 1: in a lab. But also the people that are involved

1303
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 1: in the meth trade in Mexico, the cartels that have

1304
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: been involved in that were more fringe players before who

1305
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 1: didn't have some of the established ties of say they

1306
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: seen the Lower Cartel, which was and is still one

1307
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,640
Speaker 1: of the biggest, but has been the the biggest and

1308
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 1: most enduring of the cartels in Mexico, and there's been

1309
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 1: this shift in power. Anyway, there's a lot going on

1310
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 1: with the cartel wars, and part of this that I

1311
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 1: want to understand what's going on in Mexico because I

1312
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: also then want to look at how is this affecting us.

1313
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: You know, we see these stories about MS thirteen, which

1314
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: I know is based out of Al Salvador and Honduras,

1315
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:20,639
Speaker 1: but it's also all over the United States. Started really

1316
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 1: in Al Salvador and Honduras, but it's been around for

1317
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: quite a while. But there's this huge surge of opioid

1318
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 1: deaths in this country. How much of that is tied

1319
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: to uh el narco, meaning the cartel activity. I'm willing

1320
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:38,599
Speaker 1: to bet that there's much more of this happening than

1321
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: we're hearing about, and that much of the drug violence

1322
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 1: that's occurring in cities across the United States has some

1323
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: tie into the Mexican based cartels, and just for political reasons,

1324
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:52,759
Speaker 1: for reasons of political correctness, I think, and even bigger

1325
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: than all that the immigration debate right now and securing

1326
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 1: the border, you're not being told what is really happening

1327
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 1: in Mexico with the cartels there's some reporting on it

1328
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:08,759
Speaker 1: here and there, but there's nothing like the comprehensive narrative

1329
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: creation that would affect how we vote in this country.

1330
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: So I want to get into and what we think

1331
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: should be sound policy. So I wanted to get into

1332
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: all of that with you. We'll have Yon calling in

1333
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: from Mexico. He's gonna be calling us from Mexico. This

1334
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 1: guy is, I mean, he's out there, he's on the streets, folks,

1335
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,680
Speaker 1: he's covering it. He's been on the cartels for a

1336
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 1: long time, many many years. So we will have him

1337
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 1: joining us in just a few minutes. I think you're

1338
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 1: definitely gonna want to stick around for that, and then

1339
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: we'll get back into the Friday swing of things. So

1340
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 1: stay right there. Last year, according to reports cited by

1341
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: the Associated Press, Newsweek and others, was in fact the

1342
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 1: worst year on record for murders in Mexico. It exceeded

1343
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: the previous record of twenty seven thousand inn Last year,

1344
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: you had just shy of thirty thousand people twenty nine thousand,

1345
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 1: one sixty eight murdered in Mexico. A vast majority of

1346
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 1: this violence directly from the drug war. But you're not

1347
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 1: hearing a lot about the cartels these days, my friends,

1348
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering why that is. So I invited somebody

1349
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: who has deep expertise on the subject to join us

1350
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: here on our Friday show, We have Yon Grillo with us.

1351
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 1: Yone has reported on Latin America since two thousand and

1352
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 1: one for international media outlets including The New York Times,

1353
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: Time Magazine, Reuters, CNN, and others. His most recent book

1354
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 1: is Gangster war Lords, Drugs, Drug Dollars, Killing Fields, and

1355
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: the New Politics of Latin America. He also has a

1356
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: book El Narco, Inside Mexico's Criminal Insurgency, which I am

1357
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: almost finished with as of this week. You and great

1358
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,640
Speaker 1: to have you. Great to be here. So could you

1359
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 1: just give me a an overview here because there's very

1360
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,879
Speaker 1: little coverage. I mean, there are some news outlets, obviously,

1361
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 1: you and other journalists in Mexico are putting out information,

1362
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: but I think the storyline that Mexico and had its

1363
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: deadliest year on record for murders has been completely overlooked somehow.

1364
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,680
Speaker 1: What is going on right now with El Narco as

1365
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 1: as you call it in Mexico, What's going on with

1366
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 1: the cartel wars? Well, yeah, there's still very much alive

1367
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: and the violence is going on. I think perhaps one

1368
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 1: of the reasons it's not getting the attention um it

1369
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: deserves is that to an extent, people have got rather

1370
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 1: used to this violin, to numb to it. And that's

1371
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 1: very sad to say. Um it rose up first around

1372
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: two dozen and eight, and that's when you used to

1373
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: be started seeing kind of crazy decapitations and I've covered

1374
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, many of these, you know began It used

1375
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: to be that five heads being cut off was a

1376
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: big story. And then I got to a place where

1377
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: forty nine people have been decapitated, you know, I went

1378
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 1: to a morgue where there was forty nine bodies there

1379
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: or with their heads cut off, in fact their hands

1380
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 1: and their feed as well. So there's certain oversaturation now

1381
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: when you hear tragically, if you hear a story, um like,

1382
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: just over the last couple of days, um, there's a

1383
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,599
Speaker 1: dozen people killed in this border city of Renossa. There's

1384
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 1: gangs blockading roads, setting cars on fire. It doesn't really

1385
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,759
Speaker 1: make a splash. People just think, oh, well, that's Mexico.

1386
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 1: We're used to that. So that's one reasonably other thing

1387
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: I think is there's a very crazy international world scene

1388
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: right now. There's big stories going off all over the planets,

1389
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 1: and that kind of draws attention away. But here in

1390
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,559
Speaker 1: Mexican on the ground, this violence is very much carries on.

1391
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:48,600
Speaker 1: The gangs are they're continuing to fight security forces with

1392
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:56,080
Speaker 1: heavy weapons sometimes RPG seven's automatic rifles, grenades, and continuing

1393
01:19:56,120 --> 01:20:00,719
Speaker 1: to commit atrocities and and leave, you know, tragedies on civilians.

1394
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: I went to a mass grave this year with more

1395
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: than two hundred and fifty bodies buried in a mass

1396
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: graveyard which backed onto a residential area, So really tragic

1397
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 1: stuff carrying on. You know, you've been there covering this

1398
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 1: in Mexico for going on two decades. Now. Is this

1399
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: the worst that it's been or is this just in

1400
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: a different phase. I mean, clearly the murders are, they're

1401
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 1: counting it as an all time high, But it doesn't

1402
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 1: seem like we're getting the sense that it's as bad

1403
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 1: as it once was. Is that just because the violence

1404
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: is more located in certain parts of Mexico. Is it

1405
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: because there's less cross border violence into the States from Mexico.

1406
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: How is what's going on right now different with these

1407
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: cartel wars from what we would have seen, say seven

1408
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: or eight years ago, when things were getting where, when

1409
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 1: you were seeing a lot of headlines about the cartels

1410
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:58,679
Speaker 1: and the spillover into America and all the security challenges

1411
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 1: that Mexico is facing because of them. So one difference

1412
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: is that if you go back in time seven years

1413
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: and you had this class between these really big drug cartels,

1414
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 1: you had the major war lords, as I called him,

1415
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: the gangster war lords. I'm out and about the fighting.

1416
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 1: Chapter was Man Carrier, Fuendes, Tony Tormenter, a guy called

1417
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:31,519
Speaker 1: Barabas Beltran Lava. They were out fighting with these paramilitary forces,

1418
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,719
Speaker 1: leaving creating crazy fight outs in city centers and so forth.

1419
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: Now those guys are all dead or in jail now.

1420
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 1: Chapter was Man's in jail in the United States and

1421
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 1: New York over there. Beltran Level was killed, Tony Tormentor

1422
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: was killed. Many of the other guys are you know dead.

1423
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:53,719
Speaker 1: So what's happened is but a lot of those big

1424
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: cartels have been hit, a lot of them are broken

1425
01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 1: into smaller fragments. So now you have an of these

1426
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: gangs that people have never heard of. Um, you know

1427
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 1: that I was just written in Guerrero State, and there

1428
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:09,520
Speaker 1: was a road there where you had a gang controlling

1429
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:11,759
Speaker 1: one part of the road called Los Guerreros or Nidos.

1430
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 1: Then you went a few kilometers down the road into

1431
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: the territory of a group called Los Teculeros. You went

1432
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,720
Speaker 1: around a corner and the group called La Familiar mit

1433
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,639
Speaker 1: Organo was there. And then you went over the hill

1434
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 1: and it was Cali Templarios. So now you've got all

1435
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:32,639
Speaker 1: of these kind of splinter fragmented groups run by guys

1436
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: who are often former killers, former hit men who are

1437
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: now running these groups. No extremely violent and extremely predatory,

1438
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 1: but it's often more local, and that's one of the

1439
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 1: reasons why it's not making the same splashes before. Now

1440
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: how much of that is a threat to the Mexican

1441
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 1: state or how that has changed, It's difficult to know.

1442
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, one guy talked to made a comparison, Guy

1443
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 1: Robert Bunco's an analyst of this, an academic researcher. He

1444
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:02,680
Speaker 1: made a comparison, you prefer facing really big, powerful cartels

1445
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: or fragmented a very violent cartels. And it's like, you know,

1446
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 1: do you want a choice between cancer and malaria? I mean,

1447
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:12,679
Speaker 1: it's like it's a hard choices to make of which

1448
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: one is better. We're speaking to you and Grillo, author

1449
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: of Gangster Warlords, Drug Dollars, Killing Fields, and the New

1450
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: Politics of Latin America. He's on a lignement this right

1451
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 1: now from Mexico, where he's been reporting since all the

1452
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: way back in two thousand and one. Tell me a

1453
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: bit young about Element show and the cartel Jalisco Nueva

1454
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: Generation C j n G. Well, that's a cartel which

1455
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: is one of the most important cartels to look at

1456
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: right now. So you've got your your eyes in the

1457
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: right place with that question. That's bucking this trend a

1458
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:49,600
Speaker 1: bit of what I was talking about cartels fragmenting and

1459
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:52,680
Speaker 1: being smaller. That's a cartel on the rise. That's a

1460
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: huge cartel. They control territory from the Pacific Ocean to

1461
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 1: the to the Caribbean Sea. They control vast swathes of Mexico.

1462
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: They're fighting all over the place. They're involved in international

1463
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 1: drug trafficking and there d a report sent in the

1464
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: biggest cartel in California in the US. But also they're

1465
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: involved in many local rackets, including stealing petroleum and so forth.

1466
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 1: And they are very paramilitary cartel. There was an incident

1467
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:28,440
Speaker 1: back in TWI where there was a bunch of blockades

1468
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 1: done on roads and some of their guys shot down

1469
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: a military helicopter with an RPG. This is when they

1470
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:39,680
Speaker 1: took down the Black Cark, right, yeah, exactly. It was

1471
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 1: eight soldiers and a federal police officer died in that.

1472
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 1: Another incident, they were discovered a couple of small factories

1473
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: or you know, you know, in in houses basically where

1474
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 1: they were manufacturing their own a R fifteen rifles. Um.

1475
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 1: They were you know, make them, buying the component parts

1476
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: and making there without serial numbers. And more recently there

1477
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 1: was a weaponized groan believe to belong to the cartel,

1478
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 1: discovered in a car with some guys crossing the state border.

1479
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:17,400
Speaker 1: You and can we keep you through a break here?

1480
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 1: We'd love to continue this conversation. We're just gonna run

1481
01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 1: to a commercial break. We'll come right back with you.

1482
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 1: Is that all right? Absolutely? Speaking of you and Grillo,

1483
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 1: you guys should check out his book El Narco. I'm

1484
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:28,960
Speaker 1: in the last chapters of it myself this week. He's

1485
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,880
Speaker 1: also got his latest book, Gangster war Lords, available on Amazon.

1486
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 1: We'll be back with more with Jon from Mexico. Stay

1487
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: right there, team, All right, welcome back, everybody. We're talking

1488
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 1: to you on Grillo. He is the author of El

1489
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 1: Narco and Gangster war Lords. He is a journalist, he's

1490
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 1: down in Mexico, has been covering the cartels for decades.

1491
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: You on a question. I have to ask you, how

1492
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: you know I've been in a rock and Afghanistan, not

1493
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: as a journalist, but I've never been down in the

1494
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: parts of Mexico. Or you just haven't been spending time

1495
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: even lining down there. How is that? I know you're

1496
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 1: You're not just somebody who's going about their day to day.

1497
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: You're actually trying to track down what's going on with

1498
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 1: these cartels. There must be some pretty serious security concerns. Yes, sure,

1499
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: I mean in terms of my general life, I live

1500
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 1: in Mexico City, which is actually has about the same

1501
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 1: murder at as Boston. So there are some nuances in this.

1502
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 1: Not all of Mexico is is this kind of crazy

1503
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 1: war zone in certain parts of the country. Um So,

1504
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 1: Mexico City has these challenges, but it's okay. The real

1505
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: challenge for me is when I go into the field

1506
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: to the very difficult places and approached cartel members or

1507
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 1: just drive through them. And they're they're always very very

1508
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:46,439
Speaker 1: stimulating situations. In a one time, I was interviewing or

1509
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: talking to a bunch of guys with quite heavy weapons.

1510
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: They called themselves vigilances, where they appeared to be just

1511
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:58,720
Speaker 1: very straightforward cartel members. They had rocket there, whether they

1512
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 1: had grenade launchers on assault rifles, brunades and bullets take

1513
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 1: their bodies. And I was kind of chatting to them

1514
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: and and take some photographs and then one of them

1515
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: accused me of being a d A agent um. And

1516
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 1: you know, I showed them my website and convinced them

1517
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm not American, I'm British. And eventually the guy said, well,

1518
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, if I see you again, I'm going to

1519
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: put a bullet in your head. Um. So so I

1520
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: left that situation. And there's been various things like that

1521
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 1: have happened over the years now. But you also, and

1522
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 1: I'm just glad to know you're safe, and I'm glad

1523
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 1: to know that you are a veteran of dealing with

1524
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 1: all these issues, so stay safe down their own. But

1525
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned something else that I wanted to touch on them.

1526
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: That is, you said Mexico City not nearly not a

1527
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 1: not a rough place to live necessarily compared to a

1528
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,599
Speaker 1: lot of major US cities. What are the worst parts

1529
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 1: of Mexico right now? I think there was a State

1530
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 1: Department warning recently. They did get a little bit of

1531
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:53,599
Speaker 1: press coverage just in the last few weeks. I think

1532
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 1: there are four or five states that were mentioned in

1533
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:00,439
Speaker 1: Mexico as being essentially no go zones for US travel.

1534
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:02,799
Speaker 1: Now that's not a no go zone obviously for everybody,

1535
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 1: but they're saying US tourists should should think twice before going, Uh,

1536
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: you're down there on the ground. What are the worst

1537
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 1: two or three places in Mexico right now at a

1538
01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 1: state or city level? Sure? So, I think the state

1539
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 1: of Guerrero with the city of Acapulco has been for

1540
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 1: some years one of the most violent places in Mexico

1541
01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 1: and one that that for most people is quite good

1542
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 1: to avoid. The state of Pamo Lipas is tough, just

1543
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: crossing over from the Texas border over the you know,

1544
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:39,160
Speaker 1: the real Grande Valley into Tampas. That's a rough area.

1545
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 1: The state of Sinaloa, home or of Chapel Gusman in

1546
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 1: the place where he grew up is a is a

1547
01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 1: tough place. Chihuahua homes also seen a certain resurgence in

1548
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 1: violence recently, and and it's a tough area. Um and

1549
01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 1: Tijuan has had a very violent year until one is

1550
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:03,639
Speaker 1: pretty rough. But you know, overall, I kind of put

1551
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,640
Speaker 1: Mexico into three in a way. It's about about a

1552
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: third of the states in Mexico are quite rough. Mexico

1553
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:13,519
Speaker 1: has thirty two states altogether through the Mexico City. About

1554
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: third of them are quite rough. About a third of

1555
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 1: them have a mid level of violence, so some violence

1556
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,600
Speaker 1: but not totally critical. And then some of them are

1557
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 1: actually fairly peaceful. If you go to Yokotan Peninsula home

1558
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:27,799
Speaker 1: to Merida, it has a similar murder rate to Belgium.

1559
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: So actually, um, it's quite peaceful there. And it's interesting

1560
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:35,200
Speaker 1: why that is why those communities have been more resistant

1561
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 1: to organize crime and violence and wine them there's not

1562
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:41,679
Speaker 1: as much drugs going through those places. But also they're

1563
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: more traditional indigenous communities, they're more community spirits in those places.

1564
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,599
Speaker 1: I think that helps resist the violence and crime. Well,

1565
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 1: can you tell me what's the latest on this? I

1566
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,559
Speaker 1: would assume ties into your your book Gangster warlords, drug dollars,

1567
01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:57,599
Speaker 1: killing fields, and the new politics of Latin America. On

1568
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 1: the political side, the pre Right p r I is

1569
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:03,800
Speaker 1: the political party that is once again after a long

1570
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:06,759
Speaker 1: period of seventy some iRED years of dominance, it stopped,

1571
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 1: then the drug wars got really hot, and then now

1572
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 1: the party is back in charge. How are they handling

1573
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:16,600
Speaker 1: this because there's a there's a long history of corruption there, right,

1574
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:19,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that it depends on what period

1575
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:22,320
Speaker 1: we're looking at, But how is the Mexican government handling

1576
01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:25,080
Speaker 1: the current surge and violence and are they better or

1577
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:28,519
Speaker 1: worse than they were dealing with this from a decade ago.

1578
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 1: So the government of Calderon, Philippe Calderon was the was

1579
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:38,240
Speaker 1: for the pan and he had the big campaign against

1580
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 1: drug guard tells, and that was seen by many people

1581
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,960
Speaker 1: who's not working because the violence increased so much and

1582
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 1: there was so much bloodshed, even though he succeeded in

1583
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:52,759
Speaker 1: taking down or arresting many drug traffickers. Now, I believe

1584
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 1: one of the main reasons the p r I came

1585
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:58,080
Speaker 1: back to power is they said, well, remember it was

1586
01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:00,560
Speaker 1: better back in the old days. You know, back in

1587
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 1: the old days, it might not have been democratic, you

1588
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:05,720
Speaker 1: had one party rule. It might have been corrupt, but

1589
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:10,000
Speaker 1: things were safer and many people felt that. But there's

1590
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 1: six years in power have been very disappointing by President Benyon.

1591
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 1: Yet those own targets has failed. I mean, he said

1592
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 1: he would reduce the murder rate by half, and here

1593
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 1: we are talking about a record year of murders. So

1594
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 1: now people are very fed up with the free as well.

1595
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 1: They don't seem to see them having any real solution

1596
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 1: to this problem. And I compare this conflict in Mexico

1597
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:40,760
Speaker 1: to the conflict in Afghanistan in that it's a it's

1598
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 1: a bit like a conflict you can't win and can't

1599
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:47,679
Speaker 1: pull out of, so it's kind of carriers on without

1600
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:51,439
Speaker 1: a real end inside. And now we're looking at the

1601
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 1: very real prospect of a left wing populist politician, Andrew's

1602
01:31:57,200 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 1: Manuel Obdor taking power in the elections this year in July.

1603
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 1: I believe he will is likely to win the election.

1604
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:08,639
Speaker 1: So that's going to be an interesting change for Mexico

1605
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:10,600
Speaker 1: for relations with the United States. Yeah, you know, and

1606
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask on the U. S side, you're

1607
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:15,360
Speaker 1: speaking to a coast to coast US audience. Now people

1608
01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:19,719
Speaker 1: listening in in all fifty states literally, So the border

1609
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 1: right now in terms of the cartels moving drugs across

1610
01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:27,040
Speaker 1: the border and violence that if not cross border, is

1611
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:30,439
Speaker 1: right up against it. Where would you gauge that now

1612
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 1: versus where it was a few years ago? Is it

1613
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:35,560
Speaker 1: is it worse? Is it just different? How you know

1614
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:38,840
Speaker 1: how porous and unsafe is the border as an area

1615
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:42,799
Speaker 1: for drug trafficking and violence? I would say it's pretty similar.

1616
01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:46,719
Speaker 1: I think if if you compare it to two thousand eleven,

1617
01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's worse than than it's pretty year hasn't

1618
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:53,679
Speaker 1: got really any better. You can't really see proper improvements there,

1619
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:56,519
Speaker 1: and the amount of drugs has still going over now

1620
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,599
Speaker 1: there if you look at drugs seizures, and it's always

1621
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 1: hard to know the amount of drugs going over the

1622
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:05,519
Speaker 1: border of the United States because it's a clandestine thing,

1623
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:09,759
Speaker 1: but the number of sieges, the type of drugs changed,

1624
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 1: Like a few years ago, there was more cocaine being sees.

1625
01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 1: Now there's more heroin, a bit less marijuana, you know,

1626
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:21,799
Speaker 1: likely because of the legalization of marijuana in some states

1627
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:25,280
Speaker 1: in the United States, but more crystal meth. So you

1628
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:28,759
Speaker 1: kind of see trends, but people are still smuggling drugs.

1629
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:31,559
Speaker 1: And earlier this year, I was in Norgalis, a big

1630
01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:35,000
Speaker 1: area for smuggling, and I interviewed one smuggler there um

1631
01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 1: and he was, you know, saying that drugs are gonna

1632
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:40,760
Speaker 1: keep going across and they have many tunnels there. They

1633
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:44,439
Speaker 1: catapult them over the wall. They can take them over

1634
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 1: the wall in backpacks, across them through the desert, or

1635
01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 1: take them over the border and trapped cars. There's still

1636
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:52,479
Speaker 1: plenty of ways to get drugs into the United States.

1637
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 1: Jone Grillo is a journalist reporting from down in Mexico.

1638
01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:59,400
Speaker 1: Check out his books, guys. He has written El Narco,

1639
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:03,640
Speaker 1: Inside Mexico's Criminal Insurgency and Gangster Warlords. You can get

1640
01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:06,280
Speaker 1: them on Amazon or in find bookstores near you. You

1641
01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 1: own great work. Thank you so much for joiningus on

1642
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 1: the show. We'd love to have you back. And also

1643
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed your book, and so I'm all the

1644
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:16,439
Speaker 1: best there, all right, you take care well, I always please,

1645
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:20,720
Speaker 1: We'll seem I hope you really enjoyed that discussion with Jon.

1646
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,880
Speaker 1: Uh very much enjoyed reading his book. It gives you

1647
01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:29,320
Speaker 1: a really good backstory about the the drug wars in

1648
01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:32,559
Speaker 1: Mexico leading up to the present day. So it takes

1649
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:37,040
Speaker 1: you through that period where Vicente Fox and Calderone, those

1650
01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:40,200
Speaker 1: governments with a lot of US support went after the

1651
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:42,360
Speaker 1: cartels and what that meant. And for those of you

1652
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 1: who are fans of the Netflix show Narcos, just so

1653
01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, the next season will be about Mexico and

1654
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 1: from it all. I've been doing a lot of research

1655
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:52,560
Speaker 1: on this recently. I just find that this is a

1656
01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:57,680
Speaker 1: subject matter that doesn't get nearly enough journalist attention for

1657
01:34:57,720 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of reasons. Despite the fact that this

1658
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 1: affects us. Let me think about this, everybody, how much

1659
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:06,880
Speaker 1: more do you hear about you know, what's going on

1660
01:35:07,040 --> 01:35:10,320
Speaker 1: against isis not that that's not important, but then these

1661
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:14,920
Speaker 1: cartels which are engaged in paramilitary actions in Mexico and

1662
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:17,679
Speaker 1: they're flooding our streets with drugs and killing people here,

1663
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:22,200
Speaker 1: killing people in Mexico. It's a much bigger issue than

1664
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:24,400
Speaker 1: you'd get a sense of from day to day news cycle.

1665
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:26,280
Speaker 1: So anyway, team, we'll have more on this. I'm gonna

1666
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:28,120
Speaker 1: keep covering it, but we're back in just a few

1667
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 1: all right, everybody, It's Friday and it is the Nati time.

1668
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 1: She is a blogger and columnist writer for The Daily Wire.

1669
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 1: You can check out our latest at Daily wire dot com.

1670
01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:44,880
Speaker 1: Great to have you, Emily. All Right, So I know

1671
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 1: that there was on the me too movement. I've been

1672
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:49,160
Speaker 1: saying for a while, I think we've even talked about

1673
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 1: it here on the show, that there would come a

1674
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:56,400
Speaker 1: point at which we would see some strange uh moves

1675
01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:59,240
Speaker 1: by the meat to crowd in terms of who is

1676
01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:01,080
Speaker 1: going to get in trouble one for what he had

1677
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: the big as he's on, sorry thing that's gotten a lot,

1678
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 1: and I think he did he get booed in absentio

1679
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 1: somewhere I saw that that happened. Yeah, he's actually been

1680
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:14,680
Speaker 1: fairly ill treated about this whole thing. I mean, as you,

1681
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. A story came out about him a couple

1682
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 1: of months, a couple of weeks ago, and essentially this

1683
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 1: story was a retelling of a really bad date. It

1684
01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:28,680
Speaker 1: wasn't really like a sexual assault or a sexual harassment.

1685
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:31,920
Speaker 1: It was just they were awkward and it never quite

1686
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 1: worked out and she didn't leave, and it was a

1687
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:38,840
Speaker 1: very strange story. But he's being continually blamed for a

1688
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 1: sexual assault in the sex harassment case, but he may

1689
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:45,000
Speaker 1: not have done, and now he's getting booed and he

1690
01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:48,200
Speaker 1: may actually end up losing some of his, uh his

1691
01:36:48,479 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: gigs for this. There's gonna be some maybe not getting fired,

1692
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:56,639
Speaker 1: but certainly some loss of professional opportunity for the guy.

1693
01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:00,800
Speaker 1: And well, well, I can't condone what was written in

1694
01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:04,120
Speaker 1: in that article. I also feel like there's a difference

1695
01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:07,479
Speaker 1: between somebody being gross and somebody who is breaking the

1696
01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 1: law and should suffer professional consequences. As far as I

1697
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: could say, he did nothing even nothing illegal and nothing

1698
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,600
Speaker 1: that would even be sanctionable conduct, because it's not like

1699
01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 1: this woman worked for him, So it's not sexual harassment.

1700
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:22,559
Speaker 1: It's a bad date, and it's super creepy. I mean,

1701
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,640
Speaker 1: just what happened was creepy, and it was gross, but

1702
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:28,679
Speaker 1: creepy and growth isn't necessarily criminal. And just because somebody

1703
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 1: isn't really a gentleman on a date doesn't mean that

1704
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:34,880
Speaker 1: they're actually a sexual predator. So we're kind of seeing

1705
01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:38,840
Speaker 1: this movement go a little bit off the rail. Yeah,

1706
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:40,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know the stuff I read about, for example,

1707
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,000
Speaker 1: with Charlie Rose that he got away with for years

1708
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 1: and years with the Krusty Paul. That struck me as

1709
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:48,200
Speaker 1: a way worse and those were employees of his. But anyway,

1710
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:54,760
Speaker 1: James Franco, we've seen Kevin Spacey recently was taken out

1711
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 1: digitally altered from a movie he was in. But he

1712
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:01,040
Speaker 1: had made a pass at an underage and an underage boy,

1713
01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 1: so they literally scrubbed him though from a movie. It

1714
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:06,240
Speaker 1: costs millions of dollars to do it, and they did it.

1715
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 1: Was it all the money in the world, I think

1716
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:12,799
Speaker 1: was the movie? I think Franco is also now getting scrubbed.

1717
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 1: He got scrubbed out of a photo, right, was it

1718
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 1: for the Grammys or the Oscars or something. He's also

1719
01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 1: been digitally removed. He is supposed he was given an

1720
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:24,320
Speaker 1: Oscar nomination for his movie, which tells the story of

1721
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 1: an even worse movie hilariously. But he was supposed to

1722
01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:31,360
Speaker 1: be in this Vanity Fair spread that had Oprah and

1723
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:35,160
Speaker 1: Reese Witherspoon and all of these Hollywood big wigs who

1724
01:38:35,200 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 1: have all been nominated for Oscars. After what we found

1725
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:42,639
Speaker 1: out this week, he was actually just digitally scrubbed from

1726
01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:46,000
Speaker 1: this Vanity Fair article, so it's basically he was there.

1727
01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:48,599
Speaker 1: He took the photo, he hung out with the Vanity

1728
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 1: Fair journalists. He was in this group of Hollywood hot shots,

1729
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:56,960
Speaker 1: and then when the magazine came out, James Franco was

1730
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:00,720
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found, largely because of the me too

1731
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:03,160
Speaker 1: allegations that have come out against him in the last

1732
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. And it's his behavior is at least

1733
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:11,800
Speaker 1: allegedly worse than as he's a sorry. Supposedly he invited

1734
01:39:11,880 --> 01:39:16,479
Speaker 1: women over to be his proteges. He tried to teach

1735
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:19,280
Speaker 1: them acting and then ended up kind of trying to

1736
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 1: teach them nude scenes. Of course, because he's super weird.

1737
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: And this is all now coming out. So even though

1738
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:30,640
Speaker 1: he's nominated for an Oscar, he will probably have to

1739
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:34,880
Speaker 1: go in like through the back way and just accept

1740
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 1: the Oscar if he's given it. But yes, he's pretty

1741
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: much being digitally scrubbed from all of this nomination news.

1742
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:44,880
Speaker 1: And tell me about we're speaking to Emily is not

1743
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 1: everybody Daily wire dot com for her latest what's going

1744
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 1: on with the Grammys? Also a lot of political stuff,

1745
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:54,360
Speaker 1: no surprise, I suppose, right, Yeah, so the Grammys, of course,

1746
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,960
Speaker 1: now we're going to follow on the footsteps of the

1747
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 1: Golden Globes and the oscars, and they're also going to

1748
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:03,800
Speaker 1: have their own set of me Too. I guess kind

1749
01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:07,080
Speaker 1: of a protest a little bit. So the artists and

1750
01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:10,640
Speaker 1: producers are all going to be wearing white roses so

1751
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 1: that when they walk the red carpet, they'll all have

1752
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:16,320
Speaker 1: their crazy outfits on, but they will have a little

1753
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:19,400
Speaker 1: white rose that signals their support for me Too and

1754
01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: the Time's Up campaign, which is the official Hollywood campaign.

1755
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Is there an album or song that you are rooting

1756
01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:26,720
Speaker 1: for in this I can't even think of what's come

1757
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 1: out this year. I don't really I really like that

1758
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 1: new Bruno Mars song. I have no idea if it's

1759
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 1: nominated for anything. I can't pay attention to this. I

1760
01:40:35,360 --> 01:40:38,519
Speaker 1: listened to like yacht rock radio. I'm gonna ask Molly

1761
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 1: what's cool so i can come back on radio and

1762
01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 1: impress everybody because I'll know what's cool. So that's that's

1763
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:44,439
Speaker 1: what I like to do. By the way, have you

1764
01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:49,320
Speaker 1: seen have you seen? Have you seen this? This article?

1765
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 1: Now it is from RT, so take that for what

1766
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:53,280
Speaker 1: it's worth. But I've seen I believe I've seen it

1767
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:57,559
Speaker 1: elsewhere to where men in France now face a fine

1768
01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:01,160
Speaker 1: of up to four U s dollars if they follow

1769
01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 1: women in the street, whistle at them, make loud comments

1770
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:07,680
Speaker 1: about their appearance, or ask for their phone numbers. And

1771
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:10,200
Speaker 1: I just feel like this is no longer France, Like

1772
01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:13,160
Speaker 1: what he's happening? Like they are so aggressive on the

1773
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 1: street and a cigarette and now it's like you're gonna

1774
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 1: get fine for this. Come on, what happened to Peppi

1775
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 1: Lap He's going to be jailed? Basically? Um, yeah, So

1776
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:28,519
Speaker 1: France has been um basically trying to clamp down on

1777
01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:32,240
Speaker 1: bad language. They've said just across the board. So in

1778
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 1: addition to what we already knew was going to be

1779
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:40,080
Speaker 1: clamped down on, which is politically incorrect talk, miss gendering,

1780
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:43,639
Speaker 1: things like that that are more sort of left leaning,

1781
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:46,640
Speaker 1: this is now kind of a response to this worldwide

1782
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:49,400
Speaker 1: Me too movement that they've said they're not going to

1783
01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 1: let french Men be frenchmen. No more wolf whistles at

1784
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:57,120
Speaker 1: women in the streets, no more lewd comments. You can't

1785
01:41:57,160 --> 01:41:59,040
Speaker 1: pick up a woman in a bar if she doesn't

1786
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:00,880
Speaker 1: want to talk to you can be fined up to

1787
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:04,679
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty euros. So I kind of feel

1788
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:06,800
Speaker 1: bad for guys in France. I mean, this is just

1789
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 1: basically cut off everybody's game at the kneeds and this

1790
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 1: is just gonna make all these guys get even creepier

1791
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:14,839
Speaker 1: on all the dating apps, which by the way, everyone

1792
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:16,960
Speaker 1: is on now all the time. That's what's going on

1793
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:19,640
Speaker 1: in the world. And man, some of the stories I

1794
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:23,280
Speaker 1: hear from ladies about you know, sometimes sometimes the first

1795
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:26,960
Speaker 1: line is in the line it's a photo. It's always

1796
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,559
Speaker 1: a photo. It's always a photo. I've had friends who

1797
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:32,680
Speaker 1: come and visit me and they get on Tinder to

1798
01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 1: try and find guys in this area, and it's it's

1799
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 1: never like what'd you like to have a drink, It's

1800
01:42:38,640 --> 01:42:42,439
Speaker 1: it's way racier than that. It was amazed too, because

1801
01:42:42,479 --> 01:42:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, my my my brother actually was involved with

1802
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:48,880
Speaker 1: a startup app that was that was like a dating app.

1803
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,080
Speaker 1: Remember told me that he was amazed that the biggest

1804
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:53,880
Speaker 1: complaint they had was women who were saying that, you know,

1805
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 1: this guy was being creepier weird on the on the app,

1806
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:57,880
Speaker 1: on the dating app, but that sometimes it would go

1807
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,439
Speaker 1: from hey, you know, I like your hair to bam,

1808
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:04,719

1819
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:43,880
Speaker 1: Shields High podcast that will be out on Monday. And

1820
01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:48,599
Speaker 1: also I will probably if I venture from my apartment,

1821
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 1: it will only be to meet with some of my

1822
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:56,280
Speaker 1: friends who like to brunch. I've got like a brunch squad.

1823
01:43:56,920 --> 01:44:02,040
Speaker 1: It includes Navy seals, entrepreneurs, finance bros. It's a very

1824
01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 1: diverse group, the brunch squad, and we own it, you know,

1825
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:09,080
Speaker 1: because what is lunch on a Saturday afternoon? We call

1826
01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:12,639
Speaker 1: it brunch. And speaking of food, last night, I also

1827
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:16,560
Speaker 1: went out with an old buddy of mine who is

1828
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:18,439
Speaker 1: just one of you know when you have that friend

1829
01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:23,559
Speaker 1: who just always tells really funny stories or makes stories

1830
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:26,639
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be funny if anyone else told them somehow

1831
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:29,519
Speaker 1: really amusing. I mean this guy we worked together at

1832
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:32,599
Speaker 1: an internship a long time ago, and I met him

1833
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:36,280
Speaker 1: because while all the rest of us interns were crammed

1834
01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 1: into I was literally in a converted electrical closet with

1835
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:45,360
Speaker 1: another intern with no door, and he somehow was assigned

1836
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 1: in office because they had nowhere to put him. So

1837
01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:50,799
Speaker 1: he was in like a big office as an intern

1838
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:53,640
Speaker 1: that I came in and said, who's this guy? And

1839
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 1: he turned out to be a friend of mine now

1840
01:44:56,200 --> 01:45:00,120
Speaker 1: for oh gosh, it'll be coming up on almost ay

1841
01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:04,439
Speaker 1: years soon's he's hilarious. But but we made it. We

1842
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:07,400
Speaker 1: may both made the decision to go with the Porterhouse.

1843
01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:12,160
Speaker 1: And I you know the Porterhouse, it kind of it

1844
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:15,720
Speaker 1: kind of entices you in with its hole. Oh look

1845
01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:18,360
Speaker 1: at the big t bone they bring it out. You

1846
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:21,120
Speaker 1: see somebody else, and I know that it's really like

1847
01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:24,639
Speaker 1: ordering two steaks. But there was a Ribbi on that menu.

1848
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 1: And the answer, as I like to say, the answer

1849
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 1: is always the ribbi. You I've gotten your Porterhouse objections,

1850
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:34,640
Speaker 1: and you know what to each his own. But for

1851
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:37,760
Speaker 1: those of you who take my advice to heart, get

1852
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:40,840
Speaker 1: the ribbi and if you're going to order it more

1853
01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:44,679
Speaker 1: than medium, I don't know. There's no there's no red

1854
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:49,880
Speaker 1: meat salvation for you. I can't offer any fix to that. Medium, rare, rare.

1855
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:52,840
Speaker 1: Those are the ways you get a decent steak. Otherwise,

1856
01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 1: go to in and out Burger and just let them

1857
01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:58,840
Speaker 1: cook the burger. You know what I mean. Don't waste

1858
01:45:58,880 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 1: all the money on a steak. It's my opinion and

1859
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm right. Okay, So that's where we're gonna go. Now

1860
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:10,760
Speaker 1: into well you know where it is, Team Buck. It's

1861
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:18,640
Speaker 1: time for roll call. Alright. First up this week we

1862
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:22,719
Speaker 1: are today not this week. Sorry, this is from Jeff Buck. First,

1863
01:46:22,840 --> 01:46:26,600
Speaker 1: the history podcasts are awesome. Still hoping the Battle of

1864
01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:29,320
Speaker 1: Hastings makes the cut. I just wanted to pass on

1865
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: another way. I just discovered to listen to the Buck

1866
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. A family member gave us a Google Home

1867
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:38,640
Speaker 1: Mini for Christmas. I was getting ready for work the

1868
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:41,439
Speaker 1: other morning and asked how to play the Buck Sexton Show.

1869
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:45,320
Speaker 1: Lo and behold, it responded, Okay, here is the latest

01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 1: podcast from the buck Sexton Show. Then it began playing

01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:58,160
Speaker 1: Shields High Jeff o s s Original Saturday Squad. Well, Jeff,

1874
01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:00,599

Speaker 1: way to listen to the show. And I always like

Speaker 1: letting people know new ways to listen, So thank you

1877
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:12,160
Speaker 1: very much and Oss so appreciated. Here we go with Ronald. Wow,

1878
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:14,720
Speaker 1: this is Ronald. You seem like a great dude. But

1879
01:47:14,840 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 1: this is uh a little on the long side, so

1880
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to read it and come back to

1881
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:23,479
Speaker 1: it on my own time. So next we have Andrew

1882
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 1: who writes and Hey Buck. These social justice warrior leftist groups,

1883
01:47:27,640 --> 01:47:32,040
Speaker 1: new wave feminism, me too movement, and media bias remind

1884
01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 1: me of the dark and bloody French Revolution. The amount

1885
01:47:35,960 --> 01:47:38,920
Speaker 1: of extremism occurring now worries me for the future of

1886
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,840
Speaker 1: this country. It seems like the next three years will

1887
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:44,840
Speaker 1: either decide the beginning of the end or the revival

1888
01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 1: of America. As for a lighter aside, I have an

1889
01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:52,839
Speaker 1: action movie quote for you, You're too ugly to live forever.

1890
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 1: As I always keep up the good work and I

1891
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:58,519
Speaker 1: look forward to the Fall of Constantinople. Well, that quote

1892
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:01,800
Speaker 1: is from Heartbreak Ridge here, so ding ding ding for me,

1893
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:05,040
Speaker 1: and thank you for the action movie quote. And I

1894
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:07,640
Speaker 1: hope you do enjoy the Fall of Constantinople. Coming up

1895
01:48:07,800 --> 01:48:11,040
Speaker 1: on well, it's part two when the fall actually happens

1896
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:15,559
Speaker 1: on Monday, al right. Next up in the hut here

1897
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:20,120
Speaker 1: we have Karen. She writes, I think dreamers should be

1898
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: required to pass an English exam. Karen, I'm fine with

1899
01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:27,120
Speaker 1: that too, And this has often talked about in the

1900
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 1: context of the immigration debate. The problem is it's never

1901
01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:36,080
Speaker 1: enforced and what level of English proficiency. Keep in mind

1902
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:38,760
Speaker 1: that when you look at what's going on in a

1903
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 1: lot of public schools across the country right now, e

1904
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:45,560
Speaker 1: s l English as a second language, and all the

1905
01:48:45,640 --> 01:48:49,800
Speaker 1: different resources and efforts put towards teaching people in the

1906
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 1: country right now. Who are I'm talking about legally here,

1907
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:57,000
Speaker 1: never mind illegally is extensive. And we don't even have

1908
01:48:57,479 --> 01:49:01,160
Speaker 1: an official language in America, which I think is kind

1909
01:49:01,200 --> 01:49:04,280
Speaker 1: of crazy. You know, people say, well, that doesn't matter,

1910
01:49:04,360 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 1: we don't need it. Well, then why not have it.

1911
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 1: The language of the United States is English. Our language

1912
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:11,400
Speaker 1: is English. That is that is a fact that is

1913
01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:16,080
Speaker 1: true and that should not change. So I know people say, well,

1914
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:20,679
Speaker 1: our official languages are our English, say American. My official

1915
01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:24,519
Speaker 1: language is American, no English, and maybe maybe we should

1916
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:27,320
Speaker 1: you know that that changes to just as an aside.

1917
01:49:27,760 --> 01:49:30,920
Speaker 1: You know, for a while people were calling it Gaelic,

1918
01:49:31,080 --> 01:49:33,360
Speaker 1: and then they started to call it Irish, and I

1919
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 1: don't know what the indigenous tongue of the Irish is

1920
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:39,320
Speaker 1: currently referred to as, but it's gone back and forth

1921
01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:44,599
Speaker 1: over time. So sometimes the the designation of a language

1922
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:50,320
Speaker 1: itself will evolve along with political and cultural needs of

1923
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:54,439
Speaker 1: a given community. So with that we can go to

1924
01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:58,800
Speaker 1: and thank you caring for your note, Uh Dave who

1925
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 1: right shields high back the truth is spoken at Davos

1926
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,839
Speaker 1: of quote. Of course, I'm aware that your strong leadership

1927
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:09,800
Speaker 1: is open to misconceptions and biased interpretations. Therefore, it is

1928
01:50:09,880 --> 01:50:11,880
Speaker 1: so essential for those of us in the room to

1929
01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:16,000
Speaker 1: listen directly to you. We should all heed those words.

1930
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 1: Find Trump speech and full don't listen to the media highlights.

1931
01:50:19,280 --> 01:50:22,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for a great show, well, Dave, thank you very much.

1932
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:25,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, and I will look over that transcript

1935
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm getting so much done around my house at nights

1936
01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:40,599
Speaker 1: because instead of watching TV, I listened to your show

1937
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:43,920
Speaker 1: and work. I read, did two closets, and tonight i'm

1938
01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 1: painting one. I totally reconfigured. Anyway, keep up the great

1939
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:50,200
Speaker 1: work question. I'm listening to the Fall of Consents and

Speaker 1: get to keep you company while you get stuff done

1949
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:22,639
Speaker 1: around the house. I listened to so here's the little secret.

1950
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:26,960
Speaker 1: I listened to some very information in Come On Buck,

1951
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:36,440
Speaker 1: English Information Dance but slightly lacking in production and storytelling

1952
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:39,720
Speaker 1: value history podcast just as a means of cramming the

1953
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:42,559
Speaker 1: information into my brain while I can't read there are

1954
01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:45,640
Speaker 1: some great ones out there, and I don't want to

1955
01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:47,519
Speaker 1: I don't want to mention any right now because I'm

1956
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:50,240
Speaker 1: not trying to disparage anybody's podcast. But if you just

1957
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:52,519
Speaker 1: do a search for topic, you know, you tend to

1958
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:55,439
Speaker 1: be able to find some some interesting history podcasts, but

1959
01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:58,920

1971
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:41,920
Speaker 1: never really thought of it. Miss Molly is a little shy,

1972
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:45,479

Speaker 1: It's not my imaginary girlfriend. I'll ask her if at

1976
01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:57,759
Speaker 1: some point maybe she'll tape a message to the team,

1977
01:52:58,280 --> 01:53:00,240
Speaker 1: and she'd only do it if she can make fun

1978
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:03,800
Speaker 1: of me a little bit, so I will definitely give
