1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. President Trump was on

2
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: the brink of a military action against Iran and decided

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: to bail at the very last moment. We will assess

4
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: whether this was the right move for our commander in chief,

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: and also all of the latest on the immigration fight,

6
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: including the possibility of some major raids by immigration and

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: customs enforcements starting in a matter of days. Look at

8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: that and more coming up on The buck Sexton Show.

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

11
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again. The

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show begins as I said, how many people

13
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: are going to be killed? Sir? I'd like to get

14
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: back to in that great people, these generals, they said,

15
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: came back, said sir, approximately one hundred and fifty. And

16
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: I thought about it for a second. I said, you

17
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: know what, They shot down an unmanned drone plane whatever

18
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: you want to call it. And here we are sitting

19
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: with one hundred and fifty and dead people that would

20
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: have taken place probably within a half an hour after

21
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: I said go ahead. And I didn't like it. I

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: didn't think it was. I didn't think it was proportionate.

23
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the buck Sex and show everybody very close

24
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: to the edge there. Last night, as President Trump was

25
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: just on the brink of giving an order for retaliatory

26
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: strikes against targets in Iran. And here's what the President

27
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: tweeted about this. He said, on Monday, they shot down

28
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: an unmanned aerial drone flying the international waters. We were

29
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: cocked and loaded to retaliate last night on three different sites.

30
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: When I asked how many will die? One hundred and

31
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: fifty people, sir was the answer from a general ten

32
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: minutes before the strike. I stopped it not proportionate to

33
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: shooting down and on Mandrone, I'm in no hurry. Our

34
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: military is rebuilt, new and ready to go, by far

35
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: the best in the world. Sanctions are biting and more

36
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: were added last night. Iran can never have nuclear weapons,

37
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: not against the USA and not against the world. This

38
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: is the right decision as I see it. I think

39
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: the President made the right move. I think that we

40
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: are already squeezing the Iranians economically thanks to this administration.

41
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: The Iranians are flailing, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps

42
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: and the Guardian Council and the Mullahs. They're looking for

43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: some way to unite the people such as they can

44
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: be behind the regime. Remember, if we create a narrative

45
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: of the Iranian people lined up against the United States

46
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: because we're coming after them, that is to the benefit

47
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: of the Mullahs. If we were to blow up sites

48
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: and there were civilian casualties, and it's not clear how

49
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: many casualtis exactly there would be, and remember casualty estimate,

50
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: it's just that it's an estimate. It could have been more,

51
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: could have been less. And President made the right move

52
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: in my opinion, It is fascinating to see the way

53
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: that many people are now responding to this. But I'll

54
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: get into that and then the media in just a

55
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: little bit. Here, the president understands the following his base

56
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: Trump voters. We did not give our votes to this

57
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: guy because we wanted him to go and invade another

58
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: country the Middle East. That's just that's just the truth.

59
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: The Trump vote, the Trump movement wasn't about yet another

60
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: Mid East war. It was about you don't have to

61
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: have me tell you, but it was about making America

62
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: great again through a hugely growing and excellent economy, about

63
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: a strong southern border, about an end to overregulation, about

64
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: put an end into political correctness, and an end to

65
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: all the apologizing for America all the time. And there

66
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: were some very clear agenda items for President Trump fixing

67
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: our healthcare, which they have we have not done that.

68
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: We got a little better on prescription drug prices, but

69
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: we are lagging right now on a better healthcare system.

70
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: That is That is also just the truth. Now you

71
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: get into this back and forth, and I remember this.

72
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: I remember the debates from when I was in college

73
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: of the Iraq war. I remember the debates about esc

74
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: eating and the surge in Iraq. When I was at

75
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: the CIA's office on Iraq. I remember the decision to escalate,

76
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: or the early decision to do at a review in

77
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: the escalation in Afghanistan. I was working in the CIA's

78
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: Afghanistan desk when that happened. And these things do tend

79
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: to have a momentum of their own. So while it's

80
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: not it's not correct to say that the different the

81
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: options here are do nothing or all out war. Caution

82
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: in this process is necessary, and I just I deeply

83
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: wish for the American people, I wish for all of

84
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: us that we don't have another war in some other

85
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: country where we are sending just such amazing people, you know,

86
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: family members of ours, loved ones, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers,

87
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: sending them over there, husbands and spouses that husbands, wives

88
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: sending them over there, and generally for a population that

89
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: will be at least somewhat, if not entirely, ungrateful for

90
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: the effort. By the way, that's certainly that was the

91
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: case in Afghanistan, and certainly in the case in Iraq too.

92
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that don't really want

93
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: us in those countries. Maybe they want us to stay

94
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: because they know the other guys are worse, But there's

95
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: not a lot of gratitude. You haven't noticed a flowering

96
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: of love for America across the Middle East after these

97
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: wars we fought there. We did depose a tyrant in

98
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Saddam Hussein. Do you feel like the Arab street has

99
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: decided that we are we are the good guys now? No?

100
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: If anything, I think that the anti American forces point

101
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: to US actions in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere as

102
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: evidence of US as a grave threat to the world.

103
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: We are a threat to world peace. Europeans think this,

104
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: South Americans think this. Countries that should be ideologically and

105
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: dare I even say spiritually aligned with US as nation states.

106
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: They think that what we've done in many of these

107
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: conflict was foolish at best and you know, tyrannical at worst.

108
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: So no more wars in the Middle East for US.

109
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if if we have to blow the you

110
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: know what out of the Mullahs by bombing some sights

111
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: here or there, if that's the if it goes to

112
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: that level, of course, I think that's that can be

113
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: the proper decision for President Trump right now, but we're

114
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: not there yet. The Iranians are claiming that they could

115
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: have shot down a manned US aircraft that was nearby

116
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: and instead shot down an unmanned aerial drone. Now, okay,

117
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: the Iranians are saying this because they want to see

118
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: them like they're they're being reasonable in this process. But

119
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 1: keep in mind, if they had shot down a plane

120
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: with thirty five US soldiers, there would be strikes and

121
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: retaliation that would kill hundreds, probably thousands of Iranians, and

122
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: I would support that you kill our people. We have

123
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: to make a very strong we have to have a

124
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: very strong response. They did not kill our people. It

125
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: is significant that they did not kill our people, and

126
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: we always want to draw that line. So everybody going

127
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: forward knows, you mess with us, you mess with our stuff,

128
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna get mad. We're gonna respond. You kill our people,

129
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: we are going to rain hell fire down on you,

130
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: in some cases literally hell fire missiles. So I think

131
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: the Trump Administration's approach right now is the right one.

132
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: We don't have to rush on this. The Iranians are

133
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: the ones with the Our economy is doing great, are

134
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: military huge. The Iranians are the ones that are being

135
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: choked economically. The Iranians the ones that are running out

136
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: of options here. Their threat to shut down the straight

137
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: of hor moves that would that would agitate every major

138
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: power in the world. They'd have the Chinese turn on

139
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: the Russians turn on them, Everybody would turn on them,

140
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: because everybody's access to to that oil in the global

141
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: market matters to them. Every major power matters to them.

142
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: So we wouldn't be alone in that process. The Iranians

143
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: did their worst, and their worst would be terrorist attacks

144
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: through proxies and also through cells. The Iranian terror cells

145
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: spread all over the world. There would be ground fired

146
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: missiles at oil tankers, at other ships. I mean they

147
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: would be able to hit them and destroy them and

148
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: cause ecological disasters. I mean, the Iranians could could do

149
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: those things, and there's not all that much we'd be

150
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: able to do to stop them from doing all of

151
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: that in the meantime, but it would it would then

152
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: mean that we would lay waste to the Iranian state

153
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: of the Iranian military. Ah. But see this is where

154
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: things start to get more complicated. If we have to

155
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: respond with overwhelming force to a major Iranian provocation. That

156
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: overwhelming force is when we have to be very careful about, well,

157
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: what comes next? What are we responsible for If we

158
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: knock out the power grid in Iran, if we take

159
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: out their major military sites and the government is toppled,

160
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: what happens then who's in charge? What is our obligation

161
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: to the the Iranian state? And then you start to feel

162
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: like you're having Iraq and Afghanistan desja vou. We didn't

163
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: do into Afghanistan with the mission of we're going to

164
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: rebuild this country and now it was the Northern Alliance.

165
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: We helped them out kick out, the kick out al Qaida,

166
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: and the Taliban, and I supposed to be all right,

167
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: good luck, guys, thanks for your help, here's your country back,

168
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: see you later. That's not what happened. We've been there

169
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: now for nineteen years. And then Iraq. I don't have

170
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: time to relitigate the Iraq War right now. But was

171
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: that a good move? I originally was convinced that it

172
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: probably was the right move because I thought the outcome

173
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: would be very, very different from what it was. I

174
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: worked on the Iraq desk at the CIA. I could

175
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: tell you there were times when I wasn't sure. Just

176
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: in my own hat, I figured, I'm not even I

177
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: don't even know if we're gonna be able to stay

178
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: if we want to stay. Casualties are mount think so high.

179
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: Insurgency was so out of control, and there were real

180
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: concerns in the US government that we were going to

181
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: have to just pull out and say, all right, well

182
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: this place is a mess, but you know it's on

183
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: you guys, have go to it. We're not dealing with

184
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: this anymore. I just desperately hope that we've learned those lessons.

185
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't want people, I don't want our people over

186
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: there trying to fix someone else's country for them anymore.

187
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: We've done that, and we had a lot that we

188
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: took casualties. We spent a ton of our treasure. It's

189
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: your tax dollars, my tax dollars. Really, more so our

190
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: children and their children's tax dollars. Try to turn the

191
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: lights on in Cobble, try to have clean water in

192
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: Bakuba for what? For whom? People that want to tell

193
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: us to leave their country, that we shouldn't have been

194
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: there in the first place, that we're occupiers, Why should

195
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: we put ourselves in this position? Again, I agree with

196
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: Trump on this. I think his mindset is correct. Trump

197
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: is not a foreign details guy. I would never pretend

198
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: that he is. But on the big issues of what

199
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: needs to be done, what needs to be confronted, or

200
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: where we need to show strength, where we need to

201
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: show you a closed hand or an open hand, he

202
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: gets it. Gets it a lot more than the foreign

203
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: policy group thinkers out there who believe that whatever was

204
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: done in the past by other people, that people said

205
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: we're smart, has to continue to be done even if

206
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: the results are bad. We don't want a war with

207
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: the Row. Nobody wants a war with they're on. Really,

208
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: I think maybe that might be a little too broad

209
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: of a statement. In this country, I think there is

210
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: unfortunately an element that really believes so strongly in regime

211
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: change that they would, if they had their way, push

212
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: us into a major war. And iron I think that

213
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: that exists. Unfortunately, there is an element in this country,

214
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: in the power structure, in the government that really would

215
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: like to see a major US and they're convinced I'm

216
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: sure that, oh no, this time will be different. This time,

217
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: welcome us into the streets and they'll have, you know,

218
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: garlands of flowers for our soldiers, and everything will be great.

219
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: And I'm here to tell you seeing this twice from

220
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: the from the perspective that I could in Iraq and Afghanistan,

221
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: it would be even worse. It would be even worse.

222
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: Iron is a much bigger country than Iraq. For example,

223
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: the just the sheer logistical challenges of dealing with the

224
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: population of seventy or seventy five million instead of twenty

225
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: to twenty five million would be there's just no way

226
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: we want to do this. A lot of Democrats right

227
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: now running around using this as an opportunity to demagogue.

228
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: I do wish that on an issue like this, after

229
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: we've seen what we've seen the Middle East, after we've

230
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: had so many years of heartbreak and casualties and taking

231
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: losses that we just all could put aside. But the

232
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: poll say for a moment and do what it's best

233
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: for the country. But I think that Democrats are so

234
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: deranged on this, and they're so deranged with Trump hatred,

235
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: that they will find a way to criticize. Just watch

236
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: this weekend. They'll criticize the President of the United States

237
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: for being thoughtful, for being prudent, and for taking the

238
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: path of less violence in this one instance with Iran,

239
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: to see if there's a better way forward. They will

240
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: criticize him for it. Generally devish anti US intervention Democrats,

241
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: You'll hear them criticizing him for this, because doing the

242
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: right thing in Iran, even if it's a question of

243
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: whether our troops will be in a harm's way and

244
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: whether lives will be lost. Let's be honest, I've a

245
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: hundred fifty Irani lives. A lot of people would die

246
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: doing the right thing by our country and doing the

247
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: right thing when it comes to human life. Unfortunately, for

248
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: a lot of the left in this country, those are

249
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: secondary considerations to bashing Trump and that's what you're seeing

250
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: with their analysis of this Iran decision. That's how they

251
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: will be talking about it. We have more coming up.

252
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: Stay with me. Leron has been gradually escalating their nuclear

253
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: blackmail threats. Remember on May eighth, they threatened to enrich

254
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: uranium to weapons grade levels if they didn't receive sanctions

255
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: relief in two months. That deadline is July eighth. And

256
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: as we all know, they've been launching connectic attacks in

257
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: the Persian Gulf, and so I would expect Iran to

258
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: continue to launch increasingly escalatory attacks if we don't respond,

259
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: that's the risk that we would run. But again, we

260
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: don't want to draw ourselves into run into a war

261
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: that neither of us wants. Launts it, nobody wants it.

262
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: It's just a question of how we avoid it. I

263
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: keep saying nobody, I should say almost nobody. Well, what

264
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: is a that's you know Daniel Hoffman. He's a guy

265
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: who is pretty He's pretty good on the national security side.

266
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: I enjoy I've done segments with him. He's a smart dude.

267
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people go on TV have no idea

268
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: what they're talking about with this Dolph Hoffman's not one

269
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: of them. He's solid and it's got a real background

270
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: and it shows on TV. But he spoke also about

271
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: what a a attack would be like in terms of

272
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: one that is commensurate with what has happened to us,

273
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: or what a response should look like. Here's what he

274
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: said in play for We haven't struck yet, but we

275
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: absolutely can. If we were not to strike, that would

276
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: also deliver a very serious message, I think, to Iran

277
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: and then other enemies we face around the world. As

278
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: far as the strike that we might be looking at targets,

279
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: missile sites, radar batteries which it runs IRGC, their Revolutionary

280
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: Guard Corps, which launched the attack on our r Q

281
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: four drone. Would we would hit those those sites as

282
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: a proportional response. I think that would probably make the

283
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: most sense. It doesn't mean that Iran wouldn't themselves then retaliate,

284
00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: but that would be a flexible proportional response. Flexible proportional response.

285
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: This really does remind me of the I think it's

286
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: one of the first episodes of the show. Oh no,

287
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: it's actually from the Not it's not from that, it's

288
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: from Don't They have a discussion about this in the

289
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: American President with Michael Douglas where it's about an airstrike

290
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to do what it's going to

291
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: kill some guys a night janitor? Or am I thinking

292
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: of President Bartlett from what's it called? What's that show

293
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: called the you know West Wing, Westwick? That's that's where

294
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: President Bartlett is and he says that he doesn't want

295
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: to just take their lunch money or something. Anyway, Look,

296
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: I think the President made the right move. That's the

297
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: bottom line. We'll see what ends up happening here from

298
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: the Iranians. We'll see if the Iranian response is going

299
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: to go even further. It's very possible. Although do they

300
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: really want to play chicken with Trump? I you know,

301
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things you can say about

302
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: this guy. I don't think getting into a test of

303
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: will with him, a test of resolve for the iranience

304
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: of the mulas is a good idea. I don't believe

305
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: anybody should think that that's a good idea. That's why

306
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: Trump's willingness to Here's how I see it, Trump stepping

307
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: back and saying, you know what, I'm not going to

308
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: throw a punch. You know, you push me, but I'm

309
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: not gonna throw a punch yet. I think that's also

310
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: his way of saying, all right, Ran, if you push

311
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,719
Speaker 1: me again, it's not just going to be a punch,

312
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lights out fly kick to

313
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: the face. That's what I see Trump doing here, which

314
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: you know, I hope it doesn't come to that. But

315
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 1: so far he's been good on this. The Democrats are

316
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: going to freak out, though, and say he's bad just

317
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: because he's Trump. We'll get into that in a moment.

318
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: Stay with me. I think the likelihood that this is

319
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: a mistake is remote. Iran knows how to provoke the

320
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: rest of the world. They know how to provoke us.

321
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: They are malevolent actors in that region. It is absolutely

322
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: the case, and it's the reason why I so much

323
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: regret how the President is approaching this recklessly. I mean,

324
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: he should never have torn up the Iran Deeal to

325
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: begin with, which was the nuclear agreement that President Obama

326
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: reached with Iran. It's now we're contending with both his

327
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: blowing up the Iran deal one day, threatening to strike

328
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: Iran the next day, saying that he doesn't want regime

329
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: change in a run, He's sending mix signals. Michael Bennett.

330
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: Who the heck is that guy? Most of you're probably asking,

331
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: He's a Colorado senator, who is all about? Michael Bennett

332
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. This guy thinks he's running for president. He

333
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: is as boring and milktoast and who is this guy?

334
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: As you're going to find the American politics today. But

335
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: he is doing the usual dance here. It's the one

336
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: the Democrats can be expected to do anytime the issue

337
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: of Iran comes up and the president's approach in national security,

338
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: and that is to say that Oh Obama had it right,

339
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: that the Obama deal was a good deal. There are

340
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: so many ways that is not true, but the one

341
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: that I think is the is the biggest. What should

342
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: have been deal breaker is that there the deal was

343
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: going to end at some point and then you just

344
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: have to have a whole nother deal, And you would

345
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: have had to have a whole another deal. Within Iran

346
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: that was a lot richer and a lot more militarily advanced,

347
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: working on its ballistic missiles. One of that in the treaty,

348
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: spreading its proxy armies around the Middle East, bolstering them,

349
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: getting them to be stronger. None of that covered in

350
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: the treaty. It was really just to kick the can

351
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: down the roade maneuver. It was like, all right, Iran,

352
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you get access to the international financial

353
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: financial system, let you get a lot wealthier, but in return,

354
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to wait before you start testing news.

355
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to wait before you start doing some

356
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: of these things. And that's just it's just it's not

357
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: good folks. It was not a good deal. It really wasn't.

358
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: I mean, and now it's we can look back at

359
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: it perhaps a little more clarity, because it wasn't. It's

360
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: not Obama who's in office, and we're all caught up

361
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: and how the media was always telling us how Obama

362
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: was some super genius move on foreign policy. His administration

363
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: was a disaster, and why would that be surprising. Look

364
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: at the people that he had in charge. You know,

365
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: say what you will about Mike Pompeo, and I think

366
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: he's a really impressive guy. He's a serious person. Though,

367
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: say what you will about John Bolton, and I will

368
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: say a lot, probably in the weeks ahead, I disagree

369
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: with them on some of his approaches. He's a serious person.

370
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton a secretary of state. What the heck does

371
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: she know about anything? Why would we have expected that

372
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: she would have been able to produce better foreign policy results?

373
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: John Carry, John Carry's a loser. Mary's rich, ladies. You

374
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: think you think he's going to be a great secretary

375
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: of state based on what? What does he know about

376
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: any of this? He's just trying to figure out what

377
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: you know when tea time is in the Nantucket golf

378
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: course or when he can hop on one of those windsurfers. Again,

379
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: he's not an impressive person. It's not a person that's

380
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: going to be able to outstrategize and outthink our enemies

381
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: and inspire our allies to rally to us on tough issues.

382
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: Anyone can handle, this is the thing. Anyone can handle

383
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: the easy stuff. And this is what's so important about

384
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: when you when you look at foreign policy and different administrations,

385
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: and you look at the negotiations that are going on.

386
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody can sign their name to a climate

387
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: change agreement that has no enforcement mechanisms, doesn't mean anything

388
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: really in the long run. That's self and that's self enforced,

389
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: and that's self paced, and who cares anyone can sign that.

390
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: I feel like they're a big deal. Some of the

391
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: things that the Trump administration has taken on. This is hard.

392
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: Putting tariffs on China and saying that the Chinese don't

393
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 1: change their behavior, they're gonna face even more tariffs. And

394
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna have you reciprocation on our side. They're gonna

395
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: hurt us economically to the degree they can. That's hard.

396
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: That's a tough call to make. And it's on these

397
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: more difficult decisions that you see this democrats, I think

398
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: failing and failing and failing over and over again. Look

399
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: where Probablyicans have failed on some of these stuff too. Ultimately,

400
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: foreign policy does often boil down to the less bad,

401
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: the less bad. Sorry, guys, my voice just keeps I

402
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: have such a bad cold. My voice just keeps breaking.

403
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: So I can't do anything about that. The less bad option.

404
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: I've been drinking tea, I've been trying to take throat

405
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: lows and just whatever. I mean, it's just a miserable cold.

406
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: And I don't know what, you know, I don't know

407
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: what person's drink. I might have borrowed or something, but

408
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, somehow I got a cold here. That's right,

409
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: That's that's the only way it would have happened barring

410
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: their drink. Calm down. Uh, let's see what else we

411
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: have here on Bennett. Oh no, no no, forget about Bennett

412
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: from him and so you know he's he doesn't like

413
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: what what Trump is doing because the Iran deal was

414
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: so good that Obama, which is just stupid. Then you

415
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: also have just in time to make this a totally

416
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: obviously partisan maneuver that has nothing to do really with

417
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: anything you get. Oh, Schumer wants to stick is himself

418
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: into these things by talking about how if he's going

419
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: to go to war, then Trump better check with Chuck

420
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: Schumer and the rest of Congress. Play six. Now. I

421
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: told the president that these conflicts have a way of escalating.

422
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: The President may not intend to go to war here,

423
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: but we're worried that he and the administration may bumble

424
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: into a war. We told the room that the Democratic

425
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: position is that Congressional approval must be required before funding

426
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: any conflict in Iran. One of the best ways to

427
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: avoid bumbling into war, a war that nobody wants, is

428
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: to have a robust, open debate and for Congress to

429
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: have a real say. We learned that lesson in the

430
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: runner up to Iraq. The lesson that I learned in

431
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: the run up to Rock is that members of Congress

432
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: didn't really want to have to take a tough vote,

433
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: so they gave the president the authorization. Right, they gave

434
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: the president the authorization for the use of military force,

435
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: but they didn't they didn't vote for a war in

436
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: Rock and voted to give him the ability to do it.

437
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: Let's say, it's kind of like the the Mula routine.

438
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say the president committed obstruction.

439
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna lay it out for you in detail

440
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: that he probably maybe did according to my expansive interpretation

441
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: of the statutes. And I'm going to hand this off

442
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: to the Congress, which is controlled in the House by Democrats,

443
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: give them a little wink and say, yeah, that's right,

444
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: run with this one, take this and I take this

445
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: one to the bank. And that's what happened. Chuck Schumer

446
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: now saying that he should go to that Trump should

447
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: go to Congress before he goes to war, Well, that's

448
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: making a lot of assumptions. One is that this would

449
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: be a big w war, you know, a war that

450
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: involves major mobilization of troops and possible reconstruction effort, and

451
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: that I don't think we're heading toward that at all.

452
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: I hope not. But if the president's going to fire

453
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: off a bunch of missiles to blow up some things,

454
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: which is what we've been told as the likeliest scenario here,

455
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: then guess what He's just gonna do that. But Chumor

456
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: asserting himself here and asserting the Congress is just it's

457
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: all for show. It's all for show, and the Democrats

458
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: would never want to have to take a toughest on Iron.

459
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 1: They realize that the biggest problem for them is that

460
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: the Obama administration's foreign policy legacy is effectively gone. It's

461
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: gonna be very hard to argue that the Iran deal

462
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: was a great thing and saved so many lives or

463
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: with such brilliant statesmanship when Trump came in and said, nah,

464
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: it's Iron deal is no good. Now, that also means

465
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: they'll never admit that it was no good, because they'll

466
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: say that Trump ended it before it could be good.

467
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: But at least we want to have to hear libs

468
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: running around talking about how Obama saved the Middle East

469
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: with this deal. If things were to quiet down, there

470
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: in some way, which they haven't at all. Really, Yeah,

471
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: isis is gone, but there's a lot of other real problems.

472
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: So there you have a team. We're gonna get into

473
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: the border and the situation at our southern border, and

474
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: also this h Ice raid that's expected in the next

475
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: few days. This is going to be It's gonna be

476
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: pretty big if this happens, this will set off a

477
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: chance of events, I think where people are going to

478
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: be very very upset on the left with the enforcement

479
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: of law, which is what will be happening here. This

480
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: is a law enforcement operation. It is completely legitimate under

481
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: our law, and yet the left is gonna I don't know,

482
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: you might have people laying down in traffic to stop

483
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: this kind of thing. This is gonna get This is

484
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: gonna get crazy. Let me give you the details and

485
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: a much more on this coming up in just a moment.

486
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: Among the most hypocritical political movements out there, among the

487
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: very most hypocritical is feminists. Now, without getting too deep

488
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: into my very strident criticisms of the modern feminist movement,

489
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: which perhaps that would be a fun show for another day,

490
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: let me just say that one area where you know,

491
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: you know that feminists will just abandon their principles and

492
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: no longer matters to them what's what they've been saying

493
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: and what they care about. No, no no, no, the moment

494
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: a woman is a conservative, or the moment that a

495
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: person who has been treated poorly because they're a woman,

496
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: and as a woman on the right, it doesn't matter anymore,

497
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: they will not come to their defense. You can get

498
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: away with saying things to a conservative female as a

499
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: public official or as a member of the media that

500
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: you would never be able to do to a prominent

501
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: leftist female. I mean, do you think that any of

502
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: the groups that any these feminist groups, the National Organization

503
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: of Women and all these other you know, all they

504
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: really seem to do is call for boycotts and agitate

505
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: people and be annoying. But do you think that any

506
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: of those groups came to Sarah huckeyby Sanders defense when

507
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: her paint, when her appearance, and her the way she talked.

508
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean, she was mocked, just ridiculed by the press

509
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: and by at the White House Correspondence dinner, and then

510
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: when people chase her around and threaten her. Do you

511
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: think that the any of these national women's organizations, No,

512
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: It is a stunning but real thing that leftist females

513
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: somehow think that women that are conservative lose their femaleness,

514
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: the desire to protect them, stand up for them as

515
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: females no longer really, no longer really exists, doesn't matter.

516
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: And I just think about this because of what happened

517
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill early this week with Hope Hicks, who

518
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: used to be a very close aid and adviser to

519
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and now President Trump for many years now.

520
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: It goes that's saying Hope Hicks is very, very lovely,

521
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: and I'm a fan of her work, and I think

522
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: we would get along famously, and I believe she's single.

523
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there, because I speak now

524
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: as somebody who is a gentlemanly fellow, and it is

525
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: abhorrent when you hear what Congressman Jerry Nadler did in

526
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: the transcript of this interview with her, where Congress was

527
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: grilling her on you know, it's more of the show

528
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: trial stuff. Let's just get her in front of Congress

529
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: and try to find something embarrassing that we can leak,

530
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: or something embarrassing that we can use in whatever way.

531
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: And Congressman Nadler, whom I've seen photos and Mark I

532
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen these or not, but we're

533
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: he sitting down and his pants are like up to

534
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: his neck. I didn't know a human being could wear

535
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: pants that high. I don't know if you know I'm

536
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: talking about. But sounds like photo looks like it. Yeah,

537
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 1: if the photo looks like it's photoshop. I didn't think

538
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: that anybody would be able to do this. I mean,

539
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: his pants are almost at chin height at least sitting down.

540
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: And I'm all for, you know, wearing him at waist level,

541
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: like you're supposed to not let him sack down. But

542
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,719
Speaker 1: I don't think I go with the chin pants. That's

543
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: a weird deal. But he was talking to Hope Hicks,

544
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: who's also I think now a senior PR person for

545
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: Fox Fox Corporation or one of those things, and referred

546
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: to her three times, according to the transcript, three times

547
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: as miss Lewandowski. Now he might say, who cares, well,

548
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: there's a little something behind that. There had been rumor

549
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: reported in Michael Wolfsbuck as well as elsewhere that Lewandowski,

550
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: who's who is married, by the way, Otherwise, I don't

551
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: I think this would be a kind of a total

552
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: non story, right, I mean, single people do single people things.

553
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: But Lewandowski's married, and that there was allegations, publicly aired

554
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,719
Speaker 1: allegations that there was an affair between Hope Picks and Lewandowski.

555
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: She would have been a single woman, but he was,

556
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, doing what he was doing, or at least

557
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: that's the allegation. I don't know if it's true or not.

558
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: Doesn't really matter to me. What matters to me, I

559
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: mean I shouldn't say it doesn't matter to me, but

560
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: it's not my business right now. Is that Jerry Naller

561
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: was just taking cheap shots at her? And if members

562
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: of Congress had any other prominent female, could you imagine

563
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: if Republican members of Congress had a prominent female who

564
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: had a a let's say, checkered past in when it

565
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: comes to romance, or had slept with a very powerful

566
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: man on her way to the top of the political

567
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: system somewhere, you might have had a prominent member of

568
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: the member. You might even have a woman who in

569
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: her background had had an affair with a married man

570
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: and it was very important for her political career. And

571
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: now she's running for president from the Great State of California. Right,

572
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: you may have had any number of things. And if

573
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: a Republican did that and referred to the alleged affair

574
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: through by using the last name of the male that

575
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: the woman had slept with, you would you would see them.

576
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: And I saw that guy. John Harwood is a total hack.

577
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of these guys. Is such a lib.

578
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: It's so obvious. It's obvious when he got to moderate

579
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: the presidential debate. I mean, he's just a super lib.

580
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: You know, Harvard saying, I don't think that. I don't

581
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: think that he called her Lewandowski on purpose. Really three

582
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: he got the namebor on three times and her name

583
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: was never Lewandowski. What does she have to do with

584
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: Cora Lewandowski. Oh that's right, there's that allegation of the affair.

585
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: But so it's just a cheap shot. It's just a

586
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: cheap shot. Express that's what the Dems do in the Congress.

587
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: One other story. They'll put a smile on my face today.

588
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: I like this anyway. Yes, I am. I am here

589
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: to stand for Hope Picks or stand for her. Like

590
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: I said, I'm just I'm a gentleman, and I hope

591
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: she'd be treated appropriately, and I would always treat her appropriately.

592
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: Of course, that's a conversation for another time. Now we

593
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: have in them not forgetting about Jusse Smolette. Don't think

594
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: that I'm going to let this slide. In the Jusse

595
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: Smolett's case, a judge has ordered the appointment of a

596
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: special prosecutor, which means that the Empires star could face charges. Now,

597
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: the reason behind this was at least in part that

598
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: state's attorney Kim Fox to X's on the end of

599
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: her name. Kim Fox recused herself from the case but

600
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: appointed her replacement on the case. You see, that's just

601
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: putting somebody in charge who would do her bidding. That's

602
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: quite obvious. That's a no no. So now the judge

603
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: that is looking at this case has said that quote,

604
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: if there are reasonable grounds to believe that any other

605
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: criminal offense was committed, a special prosecutor may commence the

606
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: prosecution of any crime as may be suspected. That's right,

607
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: Smolette could get prosecuted. Look, he should be prosecuted. He

608
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: should be prosecuted, and he should serve some time in prison,

609
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: not years and years and years, but he should serve.

610
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: These should serve thirty days in prison. That sounds about

611
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: right for what he did. Oh yeah, oh yeah. And

612
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: if nothing else, that smug nonsense he pulled where when

613
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 1: he knew that they just destroyed the justice system to make,

614
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, make things go away for a little bratt

615
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: Jesse Smollett. Then when he stood outside and said, I

616
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 1: never did anything wrong. I'm so innocent. That was just

617
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: too much, man, that was just too much. It's just

618
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: it's just wrong. He needs to go down. And I

619
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: think that this may be the special prosecutor. We'll see

620
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: the special prosecutor looking into how this case was handled. Though.

621
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: This is a real way to make a name for

622
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: yourself for somebody who cares about justice and does the

623
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: right thing, which would mean that Jesse's going down. Oh boy,

624
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: if this happens, this is gonna cause quite a ruckus.

625
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: Seeing reporting now of what I had been told by

626
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: some sources here in DC much earlier in the week,

627
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: All right went on Tucker Show to discuss that. And

628
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: it looks like it's all coming together, all coming to

629
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: pass that there's going to be some major ice raids

630
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 1: starting in just a few days. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement

631
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 1: officers are going to be gathering up up to two

632
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: thousand families in ten major US cities like Houston, Chicago, Miami,

633
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. They're gonna be gathering them up and they're

634
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: going to be detaining them and then they are going

635
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: to be deporting them. This is referred to as a

636
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: family op, as a family operation, and the Trump administration

637
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: is likely to send people on these pre dawn raids

638
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: and there's going to be I can assure you of this.

639
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: The coverage of this is going to make it look

640
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: like all of these, all of these efforts at a

641
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: rest will look like the bin laden raid. I mean,

642
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: they're just going to do whatever they have to do.

643
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: Take it it. They'll just do a close up of

644
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: a crying child and change the photograph a little bit

645
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: so that it changed the shading of it so it

646
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: looks like it's, oh, it's this really dark and sinister

647
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: atmosphere that they're in. But they'll do whatever they have

648
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: to do. They're going to make this look like Trump

649
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: is sending out Nazi stormtroopers. You know, this is going

650
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: to be Immigrations and Customs Enforcement as the new SS.

651
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: And is that even an exaggeration at all based on

652
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 1: what they say about the concentration camps. Maybe they won't

653
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: call the ice officers SS, but they certainly say they

654
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: work for concentration camps. So I don't know what that

655
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: makes them in the eyes of these crazy libs. Two

656
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: thousand families facing deportation that are going to be possibly

657
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: getting picked up and deported, and let's just let's just

658
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: be clear about what's happening here. This is simply the

659
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: enforcement of a law. No one no one is claiming.

660
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: No one makes the claim that these individuals have not

661
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: had their due process, have not broken the law, and

662
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: are not legally supposed to be deported. They are very

663
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: much legally supposed to be deported. So why will there

664
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: be such an outcry here? You know there will be

665
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: the moment they start picking up these individuals, we will

666
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: be told that, you know, Trump is a fascist and

667
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: this is so horrible and unkind and terrible because you

668
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: know the place where the left cannot maneuver anymore, and

669
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: we know what they are, which is open borders zealots.

670
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: The place where that really comes into focus and becomes

671
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: clear is on enforcement of the immigration laws, on issues

672
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: of process and asylum. They can always say, oh, no,

673
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: we're in favor of whatever the process says at the end,

674
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 1: whatever the process tells us when it's all said and done,

675
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: that's what we're that's what we want. We're good with whatever,

676
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: as long as the process has no we know that

677
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: that's not true. That's just a delaying tactic about what

678
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: they are telling us now or what they will tell us.

679
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: Once you actually see the roundup of these different individuals happening.

680
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: Is oh, my gosh, how could you be so how

681
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: could you be so cruel? How could you be so heartless?

682
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 1: How could you do this? And Republicans and conservatives will

683
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: look back at them and say, well, this is the law.

684
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: Why why shouldn't we do this if the people that

685
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: are in the country are able to stay because they're

686
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: going through the process, even as illegals and sung in

687
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: many cases, though, don't we have to enforce the end

688
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: state of the process or else it's not a process

689
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: at all. It's just an open invitation to come into

690
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: this country. I mean, right now, there are a million

691
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 1: immigrants living in the the United States who have active deportation

692
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: orders against them, a million. There are a million people

693
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: here that our legal system that the system we have

694
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: has looked at individually, and the end res it was

695
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: you need to leave. You are not allowed to be

696
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: here anymore. A million. That's it's a lot of people

697
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: that are in addition to the allegedly eleven more like

698
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: twenty million illegals that are in the country overall. There's

699
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: reporting here that DHS Secretary Kevin mcaleen and wants ICE

700
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: to go after a smaller, smaller, more targeted group, wanted

701
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: to find one hundred and fifty families who the taxpayer

702
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: provided with attorneys but who decided to just stop showing

703
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: up to their their court dates and just left, just

704
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 1: weren't gonna weren't going to go through the process anymore.

705
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: So that tells you something else about the legal population

706
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with here. You pay your tax dollars, pay

707
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: to give them legal representation, and many of them decide,

708
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: you know what, We're just not even going to go

709
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,959
Speaker 1: through this legal process anymore. Let's just stay. This place

710
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: is better, Let's just stay here. And one another part

711
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: of this that I always find, there's no answer for this.

712
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: You'll never hear anybody explain this, But you know, if

713
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: illegals are treated so badly in this country, man, they

714
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: don't want to go back to wherever they're from. You know,

715
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: if illegals are living in the shadows and things are

716
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: so tough and so rough for them, they certainly have

717
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: a preference for being here. And you'll notice they don't

718
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: stop in Mexico, a country that for a lot of

719
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: these illegals they would share a native language with, share

720
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: a lot of cultural similarities. I'm not trying to offend anybody,

721
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: but from what I understand, there's a lot of cultural

722
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: crossover between you know, Mexico and El Salvador, and Mexico

723
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: and Honduras are much more similar than say Mexico and Japan.

724
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: But a million people waiting for deportation orders in the

725
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: country right now. And as we start to see the

726
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: enforcement process, the enforcement mechanism get kicked up and get

727
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: get going, the libs are going to lose their minds. Now,

728
00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: from Trump's perspective, this is good because it will show

729
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: just how extreme the other side and this debate has become.

730
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: I mean that the President will be able to point

731
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: and say, see these libs, they are crazy. We're not

732
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: even going after just illegal illegal immigrants in general in

733
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: the country to deport them. We're going after people that

734
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: have gone through the process and have a deportation order

735
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: outstanding against them. This person must, under our law, be deported.

736
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: Picking those individuals up and trying to send them back

737
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: to their home country. The left is going to go

738
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: completely bonkers, and Trump will have an opportunity then to

739
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: show where he stands on this versus where the Libs stand,

740
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: because there's another another aspect here you have to work in.

741
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: Trump has not succeeded on the merits on the border.

742
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: He has not. That is just a fact. I wish

743
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: it were not so, but it is so. The President

744
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: inherited a dysfunctional border with very poorly constructed laws in

745
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: some cases, and he's done what he can. But there's

746
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: a difference between good faith efforts to fix a problem

747
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: and actually fixing the problem. And he has not fixed

748
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 1: the border. That's just where we are. He has not

749
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: fixed the border. Now, is it asking too much that

750
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: within a few years of becoming president he'd be able

751
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: to fix a problem that's been getting worse for the

752
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: last thirty years, consistently worse for the last thirty years. No,

753
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: maybe that's not fair, but it does open him up

754
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: to criticism. And we do not have a big wall

755
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: s to Shining Sea. We do not have that. We

756
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: have some additional fencing in places where we already had fence,

757
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: which is helpful, it's certainly good. The people that mock

758
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: that don't know what they're talking about. And the difference

759
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: been having an eight foot tall or six ft tall

760
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: decrepit fence and a twenty foot tall double layer fence

761
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: with all new electronics. And that's a substantial difference. And

762
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: that's what we're getting, these really upgraded fences in areas

763
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: where they really need fence. But he hasn't built a wall,

764
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: he has not constructed that yet. Immigration illegal immigration numbers

765
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: the border are through the roof the highest they've been

766
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: in years. And this is all happening on the watch

767
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: of a president who separated himself from his peer group

768
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: in the Republican primary by saying that he was going

769
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: to get control the borders. So at least by upping

770
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: interior enforcement, he will show that he's taking action that matters,

771
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: and that also will allow for him to juxtapose his

772
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: position on this from the liberals who are just they've

773
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: completely lost on an immigration there. They are unserious about

774
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: anything other than amnesty and open borders. That's what they want.

775
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: January twenty second, twenty fifteen, My sudden, Grant was working

776
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: in a quick trip in Mace, Arizona. An illegal alien

777
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: came in, dumped a jar, changed out on the counter,

778
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: and wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes. Grant went

779
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: to start counting the change. The man said, white, you're

780
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: not going to give me my cigarettes. Moment this man

781
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: produced a gun. Grant gave him the cigarettes, and as

782
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: soon as Grant did, this illegal alien shot my son

783
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: in the face, killing him instantly. These are stories that

784
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: are happening every single day. How many more people need

785
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: to die? How many more people need to overdose for

786
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 1: Pelosi to come to the table and do her job.

787
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: How many people need to die for Occio Cortez to

788
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: stop her ridiculous rhetoric about concentration camps. Mary Anne and

789
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: I've been fighting for a long time. On their hands,

790
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: our children are worth it, and Mary Anne's right, it's

791
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: blood on their hands. That's an angel. Dad there Steve

792
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: ronnebec talking what happened to his son? I wound illegal

793
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: murdered his son in cold blood. Absolutely no reason whatsoever.

794
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: There are a lot of angel dads and angel moms

795
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: across the country, and I'm glad that their stories get out,

796
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: because if it weren't for the non mainstream media outlets,

797
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: if it weren't for Fox and talk radio and the Internet,

798
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: you would ever hear about angel dads and angel moms.

799
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: The story that we're told about immigration all the time

800
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 1: in this country is specifically illegal immigration is a fairy tale.

801
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: The story we are told by a majority of the

802
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,919
Speaker 1: media outlets. And in fact, if I were to walk

803
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: in right now and sit down at a conference table

804
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: at CNN, at ABC, at NBC, you name it. If

805
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: I sat down, not at Fox. Although there are people

806
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: at Fox are pretty open borders. There's just it's just

807
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: not a mandate within the whole building that everybody must

808
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: be that way or else they're terrible. They're obviously other

809
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: people at Fox, hosts on air and people who have

810
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: shows who are very in favor of stronger borders and

811
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: the enforcement of our laws. You can't do that at

812
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: these other networks. You can't be that person. If I

813
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: walked in right now to NBC and told them what

814
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: I think about the border, and I know more about

815
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: the border than anybody that they are putting air in

816
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: terms of their hosts by a mile, because I hear

817
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: what they say and their imbeciles. So if they say,

818
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: if I sat down there and told them what I

819
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: think needs to happen the border, what the problems are,

820
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: they would look at me like I was insane, and

821
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: they would think that I was I was a racist

822
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: because I'm white and I want there to be law

823
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: and order at our southern border. And that's enough in

824
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: the eyes of a left to qualify you as a racist.

825
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: You are effectively the moral equivalent of a clan member.

826
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: If you want there to be rule of law at

827
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: our southern border and you're a white person. If you're

828
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: non white you want rule of out the southern border,

829
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: well then you're a sellout, the left says, and you're

830
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: a sellout to your own people. But that's the state

831
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: of play right now. There's a lot of emotional blackmail

832
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: that goes on, a lot of effort to make this

833
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: about everything other than the policy. And this is why

834
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: all these stories you see about, oh, here's an illegal

835
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: who's a valedictorian and is working on this really cool

836
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: summer project. Whether she's gonna build houses or he's gonna

837
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: build houses for you know, other illegals or whatever it is.

838
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's all this propaganda out there about, oh,

839
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: we're just getting the best and the brightest with the

840
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants we take in. Now, that's not true of

841
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: the legal immigrants we take in all the time. I'm

842
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: not saying it's never true. Certainly we take in people

843
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: with special skills, and legal immigrants that come to this

844
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: country are doing fantastic things and opening up, you know,

845
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: opening up their businesses and you know, being very law

846
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: abiding and respectful and great, and we welcome legal immigrants.

847
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: But if we're going to be honest about the process,

848
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: the process for legal immigrants is not necessarily and in

849
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: general a majority time is not based on skills. Now,

850
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't like even using words like excellence or you know,

851
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: desirability or something, because you know it can a government

852
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: even really assess all that stuff that well, no, but

853
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: they can assess your your material wealth. They gonna that's

854
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: your skill set somewhat. Those are things that they can do.

855
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: And we have a family reunification or chain migration, depending

856
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 1: on how you who you ask, and how you want

857
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 1: to talk about it a chain migration based system where

858
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: if you know people that are already here, then you

859
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: go to the front of the line. And that's what

860
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: most of our immigration system is. But for illegals, what

861
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 1: has happened? And I know because I've seen just if

862
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: you're a casual watcher of the news for the last

863
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: twenty years, what you see represented for illegal immigrants are

864
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: always these hard working, sweet, kind, law abiding families that

865
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: just want to be here. And that is a reality

866
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: of some illegal immigrants for sure. But if they're going

867
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: to show us that in order to inform the public

868
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,439
Speaker 1: about the policies and immigration laws that we have in place,

869
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: then they also should have to explain what do we

870
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: do or what do we say to people? Like the

871
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: angel Dad started off a segment and it's Steve ronnebec

872
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: the person who killed the Sun should have never been

873
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: in the country. All you have to do is spend

874
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: five seconds doing a Google search for LA counties most

875
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: wanted criminals. Just do that most wanted criminals. You will

876
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: notice some stunning similarities. You'll look and you'll say, wow,

877
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: there are a lot of folks who certainly have Latino parentage.

878
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: They certainly come from Latino background, and when you look

879
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: at their descriptions, you'll find, oh, in the country illegally.

880
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: That's the similarity that's so striking to me. You'll see it.

881
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: Can you read about their backgrounds? Oh, this guy you

882
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: know is a thrice deported illegal and now he's a

883
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: hitman for MS thirteen or something. I mean this, so

884
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 1: we know that there are there are illegals out there

885
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: who are engaged in a lot of criminals if we

886
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: know this. We know this, but they lie to us

887
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 1: about it. We know this, but they will not allow

888
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: that to be part of the public conversation. And that's

889
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: why when you have, you know, someone like Steve Ronebet

890
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: come forward to talk about the very painful situation of

891
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 1: living now in the aftermath of losing a loved one

892
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: to violence at the hands of an illegal alien, I

893
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: just say this needs to be a part of the

894
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: conversation too also. And so that's what the criminal aspect

895
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: of it, that the crime that comes to legal immigration,

896
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: beyond the illegal act itself. I had to explain to

897
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: Solidada O'Brien earlier this week that it is in fact

898
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: illegal to cross the border without authorization, even if you

899
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: were then going to ask for asylum. I'm glad that

900
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: I was able to get Solidada free lesson. But they

901
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: tell you that it won't affect crime at all. Well,

902
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: that just seems entirely unrealistic. That just seems like anybody

903
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: with any with a passing familiarity with the realities of

904
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: the individuals who are coming across the border, a lot

905
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: of them are gonna be very poor, a lot of

906
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: them going to be in a desperate circumstance. We're always

907
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,959
Speaker 1: told by the Libs that they're these precursor ingredients to criminality,

908
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: that it's not just based on whatever the individual does

909
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: or believes, but they're these early ingredients, and they're things

910
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: like poverty and hopelessness and helplessness. That's gonna have a

911
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: lot of illegals that show up. They're gonna be in

912
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: bad circumstances, So of course there's going to be an

913
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: effect on the crime made. And remember, for those of

914
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: us that believe in the enforcement of immigration laws, the

915
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: crime rate from illegals should be zero zero. But then

916
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: you also have the economic consequences of all of this.

917
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: You have, for example, Bernie Sanders saying that you know

918
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: he is going to include in his healthcare plan, he's

919
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: going to give healthcare to illegal aliens, not undocumented. That's

920
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: not a thing illegal aliens. Here's Bernie sang it himself,

921
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: play clip A twelve. We are going to end that

922
00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: and create a Medicare for All healthcare system rich guarantees

923
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: healthcare every man, woman, and child, and saves the average

924
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: American substantial sums of money. Senator, would you include the

925
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: eleven million of the commentity absolutely? When I talk about

926
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: healthcare being a human right, last time I heard that

927
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: undocumented people are human beings as well. You better get

928
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: ready to give those human beings a lot of your

929
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: tax dollars. And you better get ready to be told

930
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have to wait six months to see

931
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: a specialists, maybe a year, not even get to see

932
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: the specialists you want, but you're gonna be paying for illegals.

933
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: Healthcare is you can feel good about yourself at night. Right,

934
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: You'll be able to sleep at night knowing that people

935
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: that broke our laws and aren't even supposed to be

936
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: in the country, they're gonna be getting healthcare. And whatever

937
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 1: healthcare you get left over with, you can thank Bernie

938
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: Sanders for it. There are people who will say it

939
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 1: feels worse now when we're talking about race, or it's

940
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: just feel like a devisive It sure doesn't feel worse

941
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: than when I grew up in Jim Crow, Alabama. Okay,

942
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: so let's drop this notion that we're worse than race

943
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: relations today than we were in the past. Really, that

944
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: means we've made no progress, really, and so I think

945
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,479
Speaker 1: the hyperbole about how much worse it is isn't doing

946
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: us any good. We still have this country is never

947
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: going to be colorfulne we had the initial original sin

948
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: of slavery. It's still with us. So for people who say,

949
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: you know what, it's top down, it starts with the president,

950
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: It starts with the words, oh, come on, all right.

951
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: I would be the first to say we need to

952
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 1: watch our language about race. We need to watch that.

953
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: We don't use doc whistles to people who but when

954
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 1: we start saying, oh, you know, it's it's worse today,

955
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: no they or not. Kandie Rice dropping some truth bombs.

956
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: Having heard from Kandy in a little while there, she

957
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: was getting interviewed by an NBC reporter, and this is

958
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: this is always an article of faith on the left

959
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: from all of these journo types. They always believe that

960
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: race relations, if there's a Republican president, race relations have

961
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: to be getting worse. Race relations are deteriorating because of

962
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: Republican Republican policies. Meanwhile, if you look at what the

963
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: president has accomplished and what has been done under his presidency,

964
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: you have six million people off of food staffed. Now.

965
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: Most people on foodstamps are white, which often gets left

966
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: out of these discussions. Most people in the country who

967
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: are poor or white, which is also often left out

968
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: of these discussions. I understand it's the difference betwe an

969
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: aggregate number and and percentage overall of the population, right,

970
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: but still there are many people who are off the

971
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: millions of people are off of food stamps. Black and

972
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:42,439
Speaker 1: Hispanic unemployment, which is specific to minority communities, obviously are

973
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: at all time lows. And yet we're told all the

974
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: time the Trump is a terrible racist and he's a

975
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 1: terrible person. And whenever you ask somebody what has he

976
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: done that's so racist and awful, they'll say Charlottesville. And

977
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: to that, I say, if you go back and read

978
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 1: the transcript, it is very clear they twisted the words

979
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: that he was used in Charlottesville to make it sound

980
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 1: like he was saying something that he didn't say. If

981
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: you read it in context, it's very clear to me.

982
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: I've gone back and done this many times now. He

983
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: was trying to say that on both sides of the debate,

984
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: there are people to debate over removing statues, not He

985
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: was not saying the tiki torch mob was okay in

986
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form. That was not what he's

987
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: but that's now. This is now one of these lies

988
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: that you can't you can't ever get around because people

989
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: will shout you down over this. That was not what

990
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: he's saying. I remember people shouting down those of us

991
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: who pointed out that Obama did not call Benghazi a

992
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: terrorist attack. You know, there was some reference oblique reference

993
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: in his statement to an act of terror, and there

994
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: were other terror acts that were mentioned before. He did

995
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: not call it an active terror. He did not definitively

996
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: call an active terror. And people got all the you know,

997
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: got their monocles out to or their reading glasses. That's

998
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: not a monocle, that would be kind of weird. Who

999
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 1: wants a monocle. They got their reading glasses out to

1000
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,439
Speaker 1: make sure they got in the fine print. But they

1001
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: just had to keep that lie going as long as

1002
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: they needed to for the benefit of benefit of Obama,

1003
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 1: and that's what they did. So I like what Kandi

1004
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: says here, which is just don't buy into this. They're

1005
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: going to try to tell everybody that race relations have

1006
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 1: gotten so much worse. There were race riots under Obama.

1007
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: There were there were people who were murdering cops because

1008
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: cops were being called racists so much, and Obama and

1009
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: his administration were effectively giving cover to that just complete

1010
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: garbage by saying, well, the community has a right to

1011
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: be mad and everything else. And then I remember this too,

1012
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of race baiting against against

1013
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: white people from the left to see if they can

1014
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: get somebody to say something stupid or you know, here's

1015
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: Joy Behart talking to George will play fifteen. You know,

1016
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: the Truck Party seems to be in what they call

1017
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: like a white panic, that the demographics have changed so

1018
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: rapidly that white people are going to disappear or something,

1019
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: and they're in this panic state, I think, And do

1020
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: you think that the Republican Party will disappear and become extinct?

1021
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: Like the Whig Party eventually, and should they so their

1022
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: concerns white panic, she calls it. Could you imagine if

1023
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: a daytime network talk show hosts referred to any other

1024
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: group in a state of panic about losing power? But no, no,

1025
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: white panic is fine for her to mock and make

1026
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: fun of. Meanwhile, a lot of these networks, like MSNBC

1027
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they do it at ABC too, openly

1028
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: celebrate the changing demographics in this country as though that's

1029
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: the right thing. I think we should be neutral about

1030
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: demographics because it's just people. I don't think we should

1031
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: be cheering for more or less white. I don't understand this.

1032
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: Why is it okay to cheer for less white? Should

1033
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: be neutral? Just people? Think about that for a moment.

1034
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. I'm proud to be here today

1035
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: to speak about the State Department's ongoing mission to advance

1036
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 1: international religious freedom. This mission is not just a Trump

1037
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: administration priority, it's a deeply personal one. For many years,

1038
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: I was a Sunday school teacher and a deacon at

1039
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: my church. And that might sound unusual to a lot

1040
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: of folks inside the Beltway, but I'm one of millions

1041
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: of Americans and billions of people across the world who

1042
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: live in a knowledge of a higher power. I often

1043
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,479
Speaker 1: humbly reflect on how God's produce has got to meeted

1044
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: this office to defend this cause. Think about how as

1045
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: an American I've been blessed to enjoy the unfettered exercise

1046
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: of religious freedom, our first liberty here in the United States.

1047
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: Go into any mosque, any church, any temple in America,

1048
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: and you'll hear the same thing. Americans believe that kind

1049
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: of intolerance is deeply wrong. That's why the Trump administration

1050
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: has promoted religious freedom like never before in our foreign

1051
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: policy agenda. Given our own great freedoms, it's a distinctly

1052
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 1: American responsibility stand up for faith in every nation's public square.

1053
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Pompeio, whom I think is one of

1054
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: the most impressive figures in the Trump administration, talking there

1055
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: about the State part mission of Religious Freedom, spreading religious

1056
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: freedom around the world. Now, that's in a lot of

1057
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: ways more of a lead by example thing than anything else,

1058
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: meaning that by having religious freedom in this country, and

1059
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: by creating an environment where pluralism and tolerance and those

1060
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: things can exist, and we create a model through us

1061
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: the world. It's very unlikely that we'll be able to

1062
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: do much through our state department to get the more

1063
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: intolerant states to be willing to let people worship freely.

1064
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: And you see this repression in countries like Saudi Arabia

1065
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: and China and where religious freedom is absolutely not the norm,

1066
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: where religious repression is the norm. And it's because the state.

1067
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: And this is where we get into Stadism and the

1068
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: crossover with the left. But the state in a truly

1069
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:56,919
Speaker 1: authoritarian society has to view itself as in place of God.

1070
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: The most important relationship in your life life in a

1071
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: truly status society is the relationship between you and the state,

1072
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: not even with your own family. This is why true

1073
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: Marxism and true authoritarianism always try to destroy the family.

1074
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: There is this emphasis on eradicating the family bonds. I mean,

1075
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: I've said this people before, and I'm always interested when

1076
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: they look at me a little funny to say, well,

1077
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, as your first loyalty to your country or

1078
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: to your families, my first loyalty is to my family,

1079
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: meaning that as a human being, your first loyalty is

1080
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,919
Speaker 1: to your loved ones. And now how could how could

1081
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: family and country be in the conflict. Well, you know,

1082
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: if all of a sudden somebody grabbed one of my

1083
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: uncles from the US government and wouldn't tell you what

1084
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: was going on. They just said, it's for the good

1085
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: of the country. Guess what, I'm not going to accept

1086
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: that just because the government says so. You know, there

1087
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: are plenty of ways that you could extrapolate in your

1088
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: in your mind a series of events where you would

1089
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: have to make a choice between family and country. And

1090
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, a good country will never

1091
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: make you have to make that choice. That's one very

1092
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: important part of all this. You know, a good country,

1093
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: a country that is that is moral, and that is

1094
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: where the rule of law exists and the laws are

1095
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: themselves ethical and sound, is a country that's never going

1096
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: to force you to make that choice. But your first

1097
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: loyalty is to your family, to those that you love.

1098
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: And that's why I think it's so interesting that you

1099
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 1: have these efforts, whether it's in East Germany or in

1100
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union or in China today. Even look at

1101
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: the one child policy, which they got rid of a

1102
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: while ago, but China is still inflicts itself on people's

1103
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: social lives with this social credit system. And still is

1104
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: very much more involved in your personal relationships than a

1105
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: normal government would be. So as I see what's going

1106
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: on abroad, I have to also then think about what's

1107
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: happening here at home on the religious front, because we

1108
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: got problems. We've got problems. There was that seven two

1109
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision that came down earlier this week. I

1110
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to talk to you about it,

1111
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: but it is about a cross, a war memorial cross.

1112
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: It's forty feet tall World War One memorial cross that

1113
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: has been on public land in Maryland for almost a

1114
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: hundred years, and it was a seven two decision that

1115
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: kept this in place. Here's what Justice Samuel Alito said

1116
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: about what is known as the Peace Cross. He said

1117
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: it has become a prominent community landmark and should be upheld.

1118
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: After the First World War, the picture of row after

1119
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: row of plain white crosses marking the overseas graves of

1120
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: soldiers who had lost their lives in that horrible conflict

1121
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: was emblazoned on the minds of Americans at home, and

1122
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: the adoption of the cross as the Bladensburg Memorial must

1123
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: be viewed in that historical context. Its removal or or

1124
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,439
Speaker 1: radical alteration at this date would be seen by many

1125
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 1: not as a neutral act, but as the manifestation of

1126
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: a hostility toward religion that has no place in our

1127
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: establishment clause traditions. Hostility to religion, what's really being taught

1128
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 1: to it's hostility to Christianity. The American state, because of

1129
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 1: the liberal left, now does have a tendency, does have

1130
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: a predilection toward antagonizing and singling out and harassing Christians,

1131
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:48,439
Speaker 1: believing Christians. And this does not exist on the right.

1132
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: You do not come across. There are no conservative activist

1133
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: groups that want to rip down crash scenes that are

1134
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: on a public square that want to rip down is

1135
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: this is always from the left. And to just hammer

1136
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: that point home, you had Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and

1137
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 1: Sonya Sotomayor as the two dissenting voices on this, Ginsburg

1138
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: effectively saying that this is that the government elevates Christianity

1139
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: over any other faith tradition by by allowing this to stand.

1140
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know what Soda Mayor says. Ginsburg is

1141
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: the most left wing person on the Senate, I think,

1142
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean sorry on this on the Senate, on the

1143
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: Supreme Court and Sonia Sotomayor. I just think is the

1144
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: I really mean this, She's the least intellectually capable member

1145
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court. She's not an impressive jurist. She

1146
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: does not Her thinking is deeply flawed. And she yeah,

1147
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 1: she's the least impressive. I wouldn't go as so far

1148
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: as to say she's dumb, but she is the dumbest

1149
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:57,919
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court. That's just read some of her opinions.

1150
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: It's like she sat in the MSNBC green room is like,

1151
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 1: what do you guys think of this? How should I

1152
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: write this? There's no rigor to her legal thing whatsoever.

1153
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: But this hostility toward Christianity, you know, a war on

1154
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: Christianity or war on Christmas people talk about. It's very real,

1155
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: and especially in this during with this administration, you see

1156
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: the choices that are made that are different choices than

1157
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: what we're being made on the Obama administration. Obama, even

1158
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 1: though you get all these Christians, all these different you know,

1159
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: a lot of Catholics, obviously Black churches came out in

1160
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: droves for Obmama, and there are a lot of people

1161
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: who consider themselves very devout Christians who still will vote

1162
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: for not just Obama, but any Democrat. And that I

1163
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: do throw my hands up in the sky a little

1164
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: bit and just say, what is going on here? How

1165
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: can you support a political party that believes in abortion

1166
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: for all nine months of a pregnancy, that believes there

1167
01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: are thirty seven genders, that increasingly is willing to advocate

1168
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: for things like transgender teens and drag shows for ten

1169
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: year olds, and this, this is they're pushing this, This

1170
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: is out in the open is now. There were some

1171
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: fierce debates on social media that I saw this week

1172
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: where you have prominent leftist saying there's nothing wrong with

1173
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: dressing up a ten year old in drag and having

1174
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: him go to a drag show, you know, dancing sexually

1175
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: and and provocatively as a drag queen as a ten

1176
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: year old. They'll say this, that there's nothing wrong with that,

1177
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: It's just an expression of creativity. Is a real thing.

1178
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm not making this up as happening this week. But

1179
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: you have all these you know, Democrats who say, oh,

1180
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 1: they're real, they're real Christian, they're going to church on Sunday,

1181
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: they really believe in the teachings of Christ. And then

1182
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: they they support that kind of stuff. And when you

1183
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: push them out, they say, what about what about immigrants?

1184
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: And what about social justice? And what about the rich

1185
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: and render under Caesar? Or what a Caesar's my friend.

1186
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: I do not recall people, or many, many hundreds of years,

1187
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: for the first couple of millennia, almost after Jesus's death,

1188
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: thinking that the Bible is an exhortation to communism. I

1189
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: do not remember that putting a radical elite in charge

1190
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: of all aspects of your life, eliminating God. Of course

1191
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:19,719
Speaker 1: there's that part of it too, and putting the state

1192
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: in place of God. But the left does want to

1193
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: put the state in place of God here, and they

1194
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: do have an antagonism toward or they do wish to

1195
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:33,600
Speaker 1: antagonize Christians. And that's also why you had this satanic

1196
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: prayer opening what was a city council meeting that's just

1197
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: happened in Alaska this week. No one really thinks that

1198
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: the Church of Satanism is going to care about this, right.

1199
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: It's not that they really think that by being able

1200
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,720
Speaker 1: to say this prayer to city council meeting that they're

1201
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: going to be more accepted. This is just sticking thumb

1202
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 1: in the eye people that really believe in prayer. It's

1203
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: a shame. But just remember this always comes from the left.

1204
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: W it's pulled across off a public land, or have

1205
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: the Satanic prayer open up a city council meeting, or

1206
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:09,719
Speaker 1: all of the true hatred for Christianity in public policy

1207
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: comes from the progressives and from the left, and I

1208
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: think that they should be made to answer for that

1209
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: more a lot more than they do. Oh one more thing,

1210
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: there are so many people that wag their fingers at

1211
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 1: Christians for voting for Trump because Trump has not led

1212
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 1: a perfect life. This is where a lot of you

1213
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: wo jump in and say, bakenonymous lead perfect lives. I know,

1214
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: but Trump has has particular, has led a particularly what's

1215
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:41,719
Speaker 1: what's the word. You know, he's a somewhat self indulgent,

1216
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 1: lecherous guy, you know. I mean, he's definitely chased a

1217
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 1: lot of women for a long time, have been married

1218
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: a lot of times, and all that stuff. And I'm

1219
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: not I'm not here to judge. I know you're somebody

1220
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: to telling me about that now. I'm just saying that

1221
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: those who are Christian who voted for Trump, they were

1222
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: voting for the policies of the man in power. They

1223
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 1: were not voting as an doorcement of everything that Donald

1224
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 1: Trump has ever done. And those who made that calculation

1225
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 1: were right. The Trump administration is more favorable to religious

1226
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: liberty than what the Democrats had been and would be.

1227
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:17,719
Speaker 1: The Trump administration is a defender of traditional morality through

1228
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 1: public policy, through law. It's not about the individual of

1229
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump himself. You know, I sit here and talk

1230
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:28,799
Speaker 1: about David and Bathsheba, right, I mean, people make mistakes,

1231
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 1: people do things. What are the policies you push for?

1232
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 1: And that's also why the Pelosies of the world who

1233
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: claim to be believing Catholics, claim to be devout Catholics

1234
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: and then act in ways in their professional capacity where

1235
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: they have so much power that are completely contrary to

1236
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 1: Church doctrine. They should be excommunicated. I know, people say

1237
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: I'm crazy, It's true, they should be I've gotta say

1238
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 1: it is fascinating to watch the Libs in the media

1239
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: decide that all of a sudden, Joe Biden is going

1240
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: to get some scrutiny. So you had two things that

1241
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: were destined to happen. And this is why I've always

1242
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: thought that Joe Biden was a weak candidate was very

1243
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: unlikely to be the Democrats nominee in the end, because

1244
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: he went through a period of eight years where he

1245
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 1: was effectively untouchable. He was Obama's vice president and therefore

1246
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,839
Speaker 1: an extension of Obama. And even though he would occasionally

1247
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,560
Speaker 1: say something buffoonish and he did not have any particular

1248
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: accomplishments and there's nothing too exciting about what he did

1249
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 1: while he was the vice president, he was covered in

1250
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 1: a cloak of invincibility while at least as far as

1251
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 1: the press was concerned, while he was President Barack Obama's

1252
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: vice president. But that all has changed now, and I

1253
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:54,440
Speaker 1: think that so much of what has been Biden's advantage

1254
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:57,639
Speaker 1: in the polls has been attributable to all of They

1255
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 1: call it goodwill, but it's really just the positive and

1256
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 1: sometimes fawning media coverage he received as a result of

1257
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 1: being Biden's VP. I'm sorry, Obama's VP. So now he

1258
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 1: has two things happening. One is the media isn't playing

1259
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: defense for him all the time, the media is not

1260
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 1: all just on his team. And also the public is

1261
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: hearing more about who this guy really is. And those

1262
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,759
Speaker 1: are both things that are not good for Joe Biden's

1263
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:33,719
Speaker 1: presidential prospects. Here's David Harsania. He had a Twitter thread

1264
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 1: on this that I thought was really interesting because, well,

1265
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 1: what's ended up happening before I get into this Twitter thread,

1266
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: is that you've had people that we're very upset. Corey

1267
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: Booker is the one that's most prominent on the list

1268
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: by Biden saying that he was willing to work across

1269
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: the aisle with or We're sorry, work across political differences

1270
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 1: with segregationists and that things could work very smoothly then,

1271
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: and Corey Booker has said that that was deeply offensive

1272
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: and that he has big problems with that. Okay, so

1273
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 1: this is a problem in general for lives because these

1274
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 1: standards they set up of what you said thirty or

1275
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: fifty years ago, or whatever it may be, we can

1276
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 1: decide at any point in time, for the purposes of

1277
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: social justice, that you are no longer allowed to be

1278
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: in polite society, that you are no longer considered to

1279
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 1: be somebody who should be respected, that you should be

1280
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: punished for your sins of a very very long time ago.

1281
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: And that means that anybody in the Democratic Party really,

1282
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 1: at least who's a white male, because I do think

1283
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: that there are different sets of rules for anyone who's

1284
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: a not a white male. But if you're a white male,

1285
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: the left can decide at any point to feed you

1286
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: to the lions. And that's one just because they're drunk

1287
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: on power, and also because they certainly want to have

1288
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 1: that ability when it comes to their political opposition. So

1289
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: they want to feed whatever white male conservatives they want

1290
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: you to the lions, so to speak, and they also

1291
01:13:57,439 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 1: want to be able to do it to Democrats. So

1292
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: this is very bad for people like Joe Biden. Here's

1293
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: what David Harsanyi pulled together on this. I thought this

1294
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 1: was very interesting. He wrote today, It's been a great

1295
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: deal of time reading old Senate transcripts of Joe Biden.

1296
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: I have a piece coming tomorrow, but here's an amazing

1297
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: passage about criminal rehabilitation he made during a committee hearing

1298
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: about bussing in nineteen eighty one. So David went back. Harsani,

1299
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: our friend here went back and pulled quotes from Joe

1300
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: Biden from nineteen eighty one on criminal rehabilitation. Here's what

1301
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 1: Joe Biden used to say. Quote. But sometimes even George

1302
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 1: Wallace is right about some things. One of the things

1303
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,839
Speaker 1: that is happening in this country is that the American

1304
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 1: people have given up because we are not very innovative.

1305
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 1: Let me move off bussing to make my point, and

1306
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: then I will end my part of it. Let us

1307
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 1: take the death penalty. Everybody wants the death penalty. Now

1308
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: we are going to hang everybody. Do you know why

1309
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: they want the death penalty? Because stupid sociologists and guys

1310
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 1: like people who sit up here in my job for

1311
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: years kept telling them we know how to rehabilitate. They

1312
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: do not have the slightest idea how to rehabilitate. Our

1313
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 1: entire criminal justice system is premised on the point that

1314
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 1: you sent in someone based upon the amount of time

1315
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 1: it will take to rehabilitate them. That's not really true.

1316
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 1: But so the American people, because they're basically good like

1317
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: most people, in my opinion, went along and said we'll

1318
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 1: buy that, and they bought her for twenty years and

1319
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 1: it does not work. It flat out does not work.

1320
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: And I get killed by my liberal constituency for saying it.

1321
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: I say, hey, let's forget about rehabilitation. We do not

1322
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 1: know how to do it. Say it, boom tell them,

1323
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:53,639
Speaker 1: because if you don't, you know what is going to happen. Eventually,

1324
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 1: people are going to get so frustrated between liberal sociologists

1325
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 1: and politicians who say, we must rehabilitate our fellow man,

1326
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 1: we must help them. And then they see Richard Speck

1327
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,680
Speaker 1: come up for parole even though he did not get it,

1328
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:12,680
Speaker 1: and they say, my god, why should that be so

1329
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 1: Guess what now they only have one or two things

1330
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: to choose between. They choose between strom Thurman's you have

1331
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: hanged them, and continue business as usual. And David points

1332
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,600
Speaker 1: out here that this hearing had zero to do with

1333
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 1: the death penalty or rehabilitation or criminality. So Biden just

1334
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: went off on some tangent about the death penalty because

1335
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 1: he felt like it. But that's the Joe Biden that

1336
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: used to exist in the Senate. So for Democrats to

1337
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 1: pretend now that he has, oh they just discovered these

1338
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: controversial opinions, or oh they've they've just figured out at

1339
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: this stage of the game that Biden, when he was

1340
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: a Democrat in the Senate, was working with segregationists or

1341
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: was willing to work with them on certain legislation. This

1342
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: is deeply dishonest from the media. They didn't just figure

1343
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 1: this out. They've known this for a while. They've just

1344
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: changed what they want the outcome to be. They've just

1345
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: decided that they no longer want to be on team Biden.

1346
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: They prefer other candidates, and so they will not give

1347
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: him a pass anymore. And so this is why I

1348
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: think you're going to see somebody very soon here accelerate

1349
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 1: well behind Biden, well in front of Biden. Rather in

1350
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 1: this whole process. I do believe that is going to happen.

1351
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 1: One other thing that came up in the realm of

1352
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 1: Democrat politicians and things that they're saying that I think

1353
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: may or may not be may or may not be accurate.

1354
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 1: Kristen Gillibrand came forward to talk about what's going to

1355
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 1: happen to Trump because of abortion Play sixteen. I think

1356
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: if this is a fight the President Trump wants to

1357
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 1: have with America's women, it's a fight he will have,

1358
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 1: and it's a fight he's going to lose because women

1359
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: are not going to stand for this. We just flipped

1360
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: the House because we were angry enough to get up

1361
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 1: to vote and run for office. If he tries to

1362
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: take away our basic reproductive freedom, he will lose the

1363
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: presidency as well. Now, I usually would tell you that

1364
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 1: Kirsten jewel Brand is an imbecile, is a phony, is

1365
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 1: not somebody who you should trust or particularly respect. All

1366
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: of that is true, but I am concerned that she

1367
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 1: is making a point here that could end up also

1368
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: being true. The abortion lobby in this country is feeling

1369
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:43,879
Speaker 1: the heat in a way that it has not in decades.

1370
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 1: Missouri no longer has an open abortion clinic, and this

1371
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: is the first time since Roe v. Wade, the Roe

1372
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,759
Speaker 1: Vway decision came down that there has been any state

1373
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,799
Speaker 1: in the fifty States without at least one abortion clinic

1374
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 1: in operation. What this means is that democrats who are

1375
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: all forced to be pro abortion. Now there is no

1376
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 1: such thing as a pro life democrat, not really. People

1377
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: who say I'm pro life in my personal life, but

1378
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm pro choice publicly those they're pro choice, that that's

1379
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: not pro life. That's that's an intellectually untenable and morally

1380
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:26,799
Speaker 1: indefensible position. Quite honestly, if you think something is horrific

1381
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: and murder for you to do, you're gonna allow other

1382
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: people to do that. But this is this is one

1383
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: of these areas that is going to bring the Libs

1384
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: to get ugly beyond belief in this next election. It's

1385
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 1: gonna be like it's gonna be like nothing you've ever seen,

1386
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: especially if they manage to get and I do think

1387
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:49,599
Speaker 1: they're seeing this as I think they're seeing this as

1388
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 1: a very important component. This is why Elizabeth Warren is

1389
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: starting to surge. You've noticed she's going after Bernie Sanders.

1390
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: I think Bernie Sanders campaign said are this week that

1391
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren is getting the backing of corporate interests. So

1392
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 1: the Socialistas are going after each other a little bit,

1393
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 1: but Elizabeth Warren is enticing to Democrats for a lot

1394
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: of reasons. One is that she's a woman, and Trump's

1395
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 1: greatest weakness in the states that matter are suburban, college

1396
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 1: educated women. That's where Trumps has real trouble. So I

1397
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 1: think that Jill Brand's got a point there from an

1398
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: electoral perspective, that is an area that Trump has to

1399
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:28,919
Speaker 1: really work on and that Trump campaign and Trump surrogates

1400
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:30,400
Speaker 1: need to make sure they're doing a tremendous amount of

1401
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 1: outreach and explain, you know, who the president is on

1402
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: the issues that matter and why this is about what's

1403
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 1: best for the country. This is not a personal brand

1404
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: It's not Oh, I voted for this person, therefore I

1405
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 1: am X. It's not a personal branding exercise. But we

1406
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 1: all need to also dig in and be prepared for

1407
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 1: what the pro abortion forces are going to be willing

1408
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 1: to do in this next election cycle. It's not it.

1409
01:20:55,040 --> 01:21:00,560
Speaker 1: It was no small part of the Kavanaugh debacle. It

1410
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: was no small part of the count of debacle that

1411
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 1: they tried to take him down because of the threat

1412
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: to Rovuwade, and that women were willing to lie, women

1413
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:13,639
Speaker 1: were willing to profane the oath to tell the truth

1414
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 1: and nothing but the truth because they thought it was

1415
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: worth it anything to stop Kavanaugh, because anything to save

1416
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: rovu Wade. So that mentality you saw of break you,

1417
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 1: break any rules, do anything you have to do, just

1418
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,559
Speaker 1: stop Kavanaugh because Roe is on the line. That's going

1419
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 1: to be a major factor in the thinking of the

1420
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: left going to this next election, which is scary. It's

1421
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 1: scary because there is a hysteria around this. There are

1422
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: women who believe that we're heading toward the Handmaid's Tale.

1423
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: There are women who believe that the patriarchy is real

1424
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: and they must smash it. With whatever leftist tools they have.

1425
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: That's pretty terrifying, crazy stuff. Do you agree with AOC

1426
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 1: that ICE is running to concentration camps on the border.

1427
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: There are camps and people would be in and traded.

1428
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: This is very simple. I don't even know why this

1429
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 1: is a controversial thing for her to say. We have

1430
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 1: to really truthfully speak about what's taking place. And this

1431
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: is why it's really important for us to abolish ICE

1432
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: and make sure that we have an agency that is

1433
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:18,639
Speaker 1: accountable to the people, that is dealing with this situation

1434
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: in a humane way. There's no there's no way that

1435
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:28,600
Speaker 1: we can allow for kids to be caged in this

1436
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:32,680
Speaker 1: country and children to be separated from their families, and

1437
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: people being terrorized in their communities. We have to make

1438
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 1: sure that we are calling it out. And I am

1439
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: one hundred percent with Alan wow ilhan Omar there just

1440
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:51,679
Speaker 1: batting a thousand on the worst talking points, the worst

1441
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 1: hot takes on immigration, on ICE, on concentration camps. She

1442
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: is in a class by herself of wrong. Uh, it's

1443
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:06,440
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing, but that's where she is. But she's

1444
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: also representative of this mentality on the left. I mean,

1445
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 1: she's not this is why when when we when I

1446
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:17,639
Speaker 1: criticize AOC, and I do think that there's a real

1447
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: need to measure how much Tommy's been talking about AOC,

1448
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:23,560
Speaker 1: because yeah, like I just like can talk like that,

1449
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:25,639
Speaker 1: and just like I want to just like run all

1450
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 1: the America and like the economy and stuff and like

1451
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: free and like social justice and stuff. We can do

1452
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 1: a lot of that. But ultimately, I don't want to

1453
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: focus too much on one member of Congress. It's more

1454
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,759
Speaker 1: that she is representative that she is in many ways AOC,

1455
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: a distillation of the left wing mind and where the

1456
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 1: left of the American Democratic Party is right now. And

1457
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 1: so with that in mind, it's more important to tackle

1458
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: her ideology and understand why she thinks what she thinks.

1459
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:02,600
Speaker 1: And I on Omar is writing Lockstaff with her on

1460
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:07,839
Speaker 1: all of this. Ilhan Omar is another far left, social justice,

1461
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 1: identity politics obsessed member of Congress that the Democratic Party

1462
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 1: is very protective of. And I think there's a there's

1463
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:19,720
Speaker 1: a part of this that's also just due to the

1464
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: hyper sensitivity of the liberal mind as well. I mean

1465
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: libs are hyper sensitive in general, that is a true thing.

1466
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: And so when you start to you know, criticize some

1467
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 1: of their their favorite people. They completely freak out. That's

1468
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 1: that's understandable. But also they they know that AOC and

1469
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: ilhan Omar have many, many, many adherents in the media

1470
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 1: as well as across the country, people who are true

1471
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 1: far leftists. But I like as she just goes, well,

1472
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 1: it's a place where people are being concentrated. So it's

1473
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: a concentration camp, okay, ilhan Omar. So I might go

1474
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: to a baseball game this weekend. There'll be a lot

1475
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:05,639
Speaker 1: of people there. Is the Nationals baseball game a concentration camp?

1476
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 1: Obviously not, so let's not be complete idiots for the

1477
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 1: sake of trying to defend AOC on the indefense wall.

1478
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: It was quite a week with this, and part of

1479
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: me was thinking, why do conservatives still talk? Why am

1480
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 1: I still talking about it? But they wouldn't let it go.

1481
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: They wouldn't take the l they wouldn't take the loss.

1482
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 1: They kept insisting, insisting that there must be some way

1483
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:36,880
Speaker 1: to make it sound like AOC wasn't being an idiot.

1484
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: But she was, and the American people know that. And

1485
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is going to come up with

1486
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: some magic wand to wave over her statements and make

1487
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 1: them seem not stupid. But yeah, the concentration camp comment

1488
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: that ilhan Omar said was in its own right, very

1489
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: very dumb. There are camps and people are being concentrated.

1490
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:01,599
Speaker 1: Thanks ilhan Omar, really really good. And then she said

1491
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:05,960
Speaker 1: that we have to abolish ICE. This is another talking point.

1492
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 1: This was said all last summer by the left. They

1493
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 1: continue to trot this out sometimes, abolish ICE. What would

1494
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: that mean if you want ICE to be abolished, doesn't

1495
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:19,720
Speaker 1: that mean that you want open borders because ICE is

1496
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 1: the body that enforces immigration law. Right. The raids that

1497
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: are expected to happen starting very very soon here, just

1498
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 1: a few days, those are ICE raids. So if you

1499
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 1: want ICE gone, oh, it's going to be replaced with

1500
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: a different agency. They say, why would that new agency,

1501
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 1: if tasked with enforcing the same laws, be any better.

1502
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:44,799
Speaker 1: And I just can't help but point out that, especially

1503
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: in the case of border patrol, you have a very

1504
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 1: large percentage of border patrol that is Hispanic of Hispanic parentage.

1505
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,320
Speaker 1: I think it's about twenty five or thirty percent, which

1506
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 1: is a big chunk. And then you have about the

1507
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 1: same percentage I believe our veterans. So you've got a big,

1508
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:06,719
Speaker 1: big group of immigration and cust enforcement would be non white,

1509
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 1: be Latino themselves, and a big group our veterans at

1510
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:15,879
Speaker 1: border patrol, and they are trashed, trashed for being morally

1511
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: the equivalent of Nazi prison guards by leftist nut cases.

1512
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: And I just think we're all sick of it. I

1513
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,599
Speaker 1: just think we would like to have a reasonable adult

1514
01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: discussion about what to do with the border without these

1515
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:32,879
Speaker 1: crazies running around saying the most inflammatory stuff imaginable because

1516
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 1: this is what they read on Twitter, this is what

1517
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 1: they see on MSNBC. But they've really decided to do

1518
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: everything they could for Ilohana Omar this week. It was instructive.

1519
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it does show us just how willing they

1520
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 1: are to go to the map for her. I think

1521
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 1: that I think you could argue right now that AOC

1522
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 1: because you're in the Democratic primary and you have all

1523
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 1: these different media entities that feel like they have a

1524
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 1: very important role here not to inform the public about this,

1525
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:07,400
Speaker 1: but they want to have their hand on the control switch.

1526
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they want to be pushing for the winner,

1527
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:13,599
Speaker 1: whoever that may be. And they know that in these

1528
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,280
Speaker 1: primaries for the Democrats. In these primary races, the left

1529
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 1: wing base is very important, and so there's an incentive

1530
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: for different media outlets that want to have credibility in

1531
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: this primary, these left wing outlets to jump forward and

1532
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:29,880
Speaker 1: have their people defend AOC, because even if they look

1533
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 1: stupid to normal people, they look like they're being loyal,

1534
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: loyal defenders of the progressive left to the left wing base.

1535
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 1: So there's an incentive in place for There's no question

1536
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 1: there are reasons for the support of Okazio Cortez from

1537
01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 1: the left, and that's why this week it was just

1538
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 1: it was mind boggling. What she said was so dumb.

1539
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 1: What so many people said to defender was so dumb.

1540
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Team buck, it's time for roll call. Well, Team, I'm

1541
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 1: living in a world of mint tea and all kinds

1542
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 1: of stuff like that. So eating all the throat lozenges.

1543
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, but some of your funny because you

1544
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 1: always say that my voice sounds better when I'm a

1545
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 1: little sick. So at least we're getting some special some

1546
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:37,200
Speaker 1: special vocals going on here right now. Yeah, yeah, but yeah,

1547
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't know who gets a cold in the middle

1548
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: of June. But but I am that person apparently, so

1549
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:44,680
Speaker 1: here I am with quite a quite I know, woe

1550
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 1: is me, woe is me? Quite a sniffle. I'll be fine.

1551
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:49,440
Speaker 1: I know. I'm a big I'm a big baby about

1552
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:52,679
Speaker 1: about being sick, especially when I have this new found

1553
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,439
Speaker 1: freedom where I can sleep in the mornings. Trying to

1554
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 1: find a place to move to in New York City,

1555
01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:01,760
Speaker 1: my friends, that's also an interesting situation. Let me tell

1556
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 1: you now, it's pretty easy. You just find four hundred

1557
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:10,400
Speaker 1: square feet with very little lights somewhere and you agree

1558
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 1: to give them your firstborn, and then you're good. You're good.

1559
01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 1: So there you have it. You know, just give them

1560
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:21,800
Speaker 1: your firstborn. They'll give you four hundred square feet, no amenities,

1561
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:24,880
Speaker 1: no washer, dryer in the unit. A lot of you

1562
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,320
Speaker 1: who are living in places across the country where you have,

1563
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 1: oh your home values keep going up, but they're reasonable

1564
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 1: if you want to get into a kind of starter home.

1565
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,799
Speaker 1: There are all these other places people live, like Texas,

1566
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 1: for example. You realize the Texas just this year or

1567
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:44,519
Speaker 1: in the last twelve months, has legalized lemonade stands on

1568
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 1: the streets. No more, no more getting your registration card

1569
01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 1: for your five year old lemonade stand, legalized beer delivery

1570
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:57,200
Speaker 1: service to your home. That's right, even gluten free beer.

1571
01:30:57,240 --> 01:31:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure they now have banned red light cameras, which

1572
01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 1: is fantastic. That's just a total. It's a tax on drivers.

1573
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:11,600
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Fraud. Telemarketing has in fact been banned in Texas,

1574
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 1: and they've also cut school property taxes. So I'm I

1575
01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 1: look at what they do in Texas and I say,

1576
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: that's all. That's all great, fantastic, well done Texas. And

1577
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 1: then my career takes me to New York City, which

1578
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 1: ever I know who lives there right now says is

1579
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 1: in a downward spiral. It's still super expensive and fancy,

1580
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 1: but a downward spiral, all right. Facebook dot com, slash

1581
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:42,640
Speaker 1: buck sexton and this is where we get the role

1582
01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:46,559
Speaker 1: call action going. You asked what our comfort food was.

1583
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:50,479
Speaker 1: Mine is bourbon. I'm from Kentucky and bourbon has a

1584
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:53,639
Speaker 1: special place here period. I'm not an alcoholic, but after

1585
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 1: a day's hard work or a hard day's work, a

1586
01:31:57,520 --> 01:31:59,880
Speaker 1: short glass of bourbon is very relaxing. Let's my brain notes,

1587
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm settled down and get some rest. My favorite is

1588
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 1: angels Envy, but it's a little pricey, so I go

1589
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:10,280
Speaker 1: for four roses, which is a little more affordable. You know, Josh,

1590
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 1: I actually have a bottle of four roses here in

1591
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:16,200
Speaker 1: my home, so we have that in common. And as

1592
01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 1: you know, I'm all about tequila and mescal. I wish

1593
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 1: that there were RUMs that were worth just drinking on

1594
01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:24,160
Speaker 1: their own, and perhaps there are, but I've never come

1595
01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:26,720
Speaker 1: across them. I find that rum is really because I

1596
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 1: try to stay away from the grain based spirits. Even

1597
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 1: though this is another one of these moments where I

1598
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:36,639
Speaker 1: tell you that I have all these issues with our

1599
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 1: modern system of medicine, like there are questions that they

1600
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:41,880
Speaker 1: should be able to answer that they can't. So I

1601
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 1: have Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder that means

1602
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:51,679
Speaker 1: that your immune system fires, it attacks every time gluten

1603
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 1: the gluten protein is present in your gas or intestinal

1604
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 1: track in the intestines. And what happens is that through

1605
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:03,799
Speaker 1: that that inflammation that occurs from the firing of the system.

1606
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 1: All the time, these small fingerlike projections along the small

1607
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:10,280
Speaker 1: intestines called the vly, which are very necessary for the

1608
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:13,840
Speaker 1: absorption of nutrients in the food, they erode. They actually

1609
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 1: will disappear from the process of Celiac disease firing your

1610
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:23,400
Speaker 1: immune system up all the time. So when I say

1611
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 1: I stay away from spirits, you can ask ten different

1612
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 1: doctors and get five different answers about can you or

1613
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:34,599
Speaker 1: can you not drink distilled alcohol made from grain. Some

1614
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:38,880
Speaker 1: say that the distillation process removes the gluten protein. Others

1615
01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 1: say it's not worth it. It might still happen. It's

1616
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:45,600
Speaker 1: still some of their patients probably still. So the answer is,

1617
01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:47,479
Speaker 1: I don't really know. But that's why I drink so

1618
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:50,559
Speaker 1: much tequila mescal because that's from the agave plant. That's

1619
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 1: definitely gluten free. I like Tito's vodka Yeah, Texas, because

1620
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 1: it's made from potatoes, which is also gluten free. Generally

1621
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:01,240
Speaker 1: I drink sake, which is made from right but sometimes

1622
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:04,599
Speaker 1: they'll put a malted barley in with the rice, to

1623
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 1: which I think they're not supposed to do, but it's

1624
01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 1: kind of a cheap way of accelerating the process. So,

1625
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:13,439
Speaker 1: you know, gluten can slip into things. But those of

1626
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 1: you that don't have any food allergies, you're lucky. You're lucky.

1627
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 1: It is. I've gotten used to being gluten free, but

1628
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 1: it is not fun, especially because people go, oh, you're

1629
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:26,760
Speaker 1: gluten free, like because you're basically a vegan. No, I

1630
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 1: do not choose this. If I could choose things, I

1631
01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 1: would choose to eat Giant Doughey salted pretzels all the

1632
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:39,760
Speaker 1: friggin time. But I can't choose it. It's my genetics.

1633
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:48,360
Speaker 1: We all have our things. My friends. Jeremy, Jeremy spoken, Yeah,

1634
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:50,800
Speaker 1: that's not really close, is it. It's gotta be a

1635
01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:53,840
Speaker 1: lot lower than that. That was like Jemmies. No, I

1636
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:56,400
Speaker 1: can't do it. I can't do it. Fuck. I don't

1637
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 1: know why you're listening to the radio. If you wanted

1638
01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:01,000
Speaker 1: to hear music, you listen new music station. You'll listen

1639
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:04,160
Speaker 1: to a radio talk station to join the fight for

1640
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:06,360
Speaker 1: freedom in this country, you know. So, I'll try to

1641
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 1: stop turning this into karaoke hour, but I get a

1642
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:12,600
Speaker 1: little punchy. I'm gonna blame the cough cough medicine. I

1643
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:16,000
Speaker 1: I took some of the Nike Will last night. There's

1644
01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 1: there's sleep. There's sleep when you're tired, and then there's

1645
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 1: like right after you knock backs on that Nike Will sleep.

1646
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:25,680
Speaker 1: It's like it's that sleep where you you drool a

1647
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:27,680
Speaker 1: little bit on yourself, and the middle of night you

1648
01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 1: gotta yeah, you wake up a little bit, and then

1649
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:31,280
Speaker 1: you don't care and you just go right back to sleep.

1650
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:32,479
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm sick. What am I gonna do? This

1651
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 1: little drool on me? None of you ever do that?

1652
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 1: Of course, only I. Only I drooled myself when I'm sleeping.

1653
01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 1: Jeremy writes Buck. It is true that liberals in general

1654
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:45,240
Speaker 1: aren't funny. Yes, yeah, yeah, Jeremy. Friends of mine who

1655
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:47,960
Speaker 1: lean left often only quote other jokes as being funny,

1656
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 1: while they struggle to make jokes of their own. The

1657
01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 1: right is just a more lighthearted bunch. Also, vegan cupcakes

1658
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 1: aren't bad. My wife made them for her vegan cousin.

1659
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,720
Speaker 1: They use oil instead of butter and eggs, and they

1660
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:04,720
Speaker 1: honestly aren't half bad. Not enough for me to give

1661
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:07,720
Speaker 1: up eating tasty animals though, No, Jeremy, I there are

1662
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 1: some vegan things that are actually just fine. You know,

1663
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:14,439
Speaker 1: there's some vegan foods you can eat where you're really

1664
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 1: not sacrificing very much at all. And so I'm very

1665
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:21,880
Speaker 1: honest about this stuff. Not confections, I guess you call

1666
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:24,760
Speaker 1: them a baked goods. You can get great vegan baked goods.

1667
01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:28,040
Speaker 1: There's great vegan chocolate chip cookies. I know you're saying false,

1668
01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:30,760
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you it's true. People. I'm the one

1669
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:33,920
Speaker 1: who always lives in all these blue Kamie places. Trust me.

1670
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: I know, I know the food scene here in the

1671
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:40,120
Speaker 1: in the lib dystopias. That's the one thing I do.

1672
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:41,920
Speaker 1: It's the one thing I like about lib dystopias. They

1673
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 1: do have good food. I know you've got great food

1674
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 1: in other parts of the country too, I know, I know.

1675
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,559
Speaker 1: But vegan vegan you can make really good stuff. It's

1676
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:54,840
Speaker 1: the entrees that without are vegan that don't do it

1677
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:56,439
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, I just think you just need

1678
01:36:56,479 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 1: protein if you're eating entres. I don't and I never

1679
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 1: wish favored from that. People say, oh, I, but the

1680
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 1: way I cook the portobello mushroom with like the oyster

1681
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:08,759
Speaker 1: sauce and just like all these other like really good

1682
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:11,640
Speaker 1: herbs and no, it tastes like a mushroom, which is

1683
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 1: great as a side for my RIBI I do not

1684
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:19,360
Speaker 1: want just mushroom. Mushroom makes me think where is my steak?

1685
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:22,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right about vegan cupcakes. And yeah, in

1686
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:24,559
Speaker 1: terms of the right being funny, you know, we've also

1687
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:30,360
Speaker 1: very much had to deal with being made fun of

1688
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:34,760
Speaker 1: and our ideas being mocked constantly. You know, I can't

1689
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:36,320
Speaker 1: tell you how many times, and watching a show and

1690
01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:38,599
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, there's a cheap shot at Republicans are up.

1691
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:40,960
Speaker 1: There's a cheap shot at the right. Happens all the time,

1692
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:43,160
Speaker 1: and so you just learn to be a little more

1693
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 1: cool about things. But the funniest people, I know, because

1694
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 1: in a cultural sense, you are much more countercultural if

1695
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:55,160
Speaker 1: you're a Republican. Now, you just are in an American

1696
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:58,520
Speaker 1: cultural sense when you talk about pop culture, music, Hollywood.

1697
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:00,960
Speaker 1: And so if you want to be a little provocative,

1698
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:03,479
Speaker 1: the left is not provocative. They're just disgusting. They just

1699
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:07,200
Speaker 1: say all the same things. They think shocking people is provocation.

1700
01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:09,760
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you want to be thoughtfully provocative,

1701
01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:12,360
Speaker 1: it all comes from the right now. And this is

1702
01:38:12,360 --> 01:38:14,680
Speaker 1: why so many people have been drawn to the intellectual

1703
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 1: dark web and Jordan Peterson and other people who are

1704
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:21,080
Speaker 1: willing to tackle these difficult ideas. I mean, I think

1705
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:23,800
Speaker 1: we tackle difficult ideas here on this show on a

1706
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 1: regular basis, And I think that if there were enough

1707
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:31,320
Speaker 1: libs who listen to this show who are in bad intention.

1708
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:33,080
Speaker 1: They could probably jump on me for some of the

1709
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:36,599
Speaker 1: things that I talk about. But that'll happen. That'll happen.

1710
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:38,200
Speaker 1: But as long as all of you keep listening, it's

1711
01:38:38,280 --> 01:38:41,440
Speaker 1: it's all fine. So it doesn't matter they I'm untouchable

1712
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:43,840
Speaker 1: audience as long as you make me untouchable. So there

1713
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:47,559
Speaker 1: you go. Lowell Right's is usual great job. I have

1714
01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 1: an idea the problem you have with the podcast, like

1715
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:53,560
Speaker 1: iHeart and other free providers, that they use ads to

1716
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:56,960
Speaker 1: pay for their services, have producer Mike put tones where

1717
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:58,960
Speaker 1: you want them in sort of promo so they can

1718
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:02,080
Speaker 1: coordinate when you want them to do ad insertions. Just

1719
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 1: my opinion, put some of your own commercials for the

1720
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 1: companies you have contracts with, so I'll help you pay

1721
01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 1: for some of your media growth. Would also love for

1722
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:10,280
Speaker 1: you to find a way to do your own news

1723
01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 1: report like ABC does on standard radio stations. I know

1724
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:15,120
Speaker 1: it's a lot of work, but another product to post

1725
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:17,760
Speaker 1: and insert on your podcast as well. I also think

1726
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:20,320
Speaker 1: listener to myself would subscribe to a voluntary subscription to

1727
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:23,639
Speaker 1: assist in the growth of your media company. Shields High. Well, well,

1728
01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 1: thank you so much, man. I really do appreciate the

1729
01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 1: support and the ideas, and I do think that we

1730
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:30,280
Speaker 1: will launch. I think what's going to happen is that

1731
01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 1: Shields High will come back as a It'll be a

1732
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 1: history and more deep dive stuff, and it'll come back

1733
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:40,400
Speaker 1: as a paid subscription podcast, just because that makes it

1734
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 1: worthwhile for me to put in the effort in the

1735
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:44,880
Speaker 1: time to do it. And you know, it's not like

1736
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:47,120
Speaker 1: no one's going to go broke because they're paying three

1737
01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:50,679
Speaker 1: dollars a month for a subscription for a weekly podcast

1738
01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:52,920
Speaker 1: that's got really cool stuff and audio effects in it.

1739
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 1: So that's the plan. That's what we got going on.

1740
01:39:56,479 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna come back with more Role Call

1741
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 1: at a moment. Stay with me. The show ain't over yet, folks.

1742
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 1: It's time for roll Call, right rights, Hey book, great show.

1743
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 1: For some time, there was part of me that was

1744
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:22,639
Speaker 1: skeptical of your devish stance on war with Iran. I mean,

1745
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: if we want to one day have a non Islamist Iran,

1746
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:27,320
Speaker 1: there are only so many ways that can happen. War

1747
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 1: is one, and if it's not seriously seen as an option,

1748
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:33,600
Speaker 1: is all this saber rattling by Trump a bluff, but

1749
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 1: I think you've sold me on the reality of militarism

1750
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:40,759
Speaker 1: In this regard. International posturing is one thing. Privately, America's

1751
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:43,360
Speaker 1: leadership needs to have faith there's another way to neutralize

1752
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:46,800
Speaker 1: Iran's Mullahs. I mean, put aside the nation's appetite for

1753
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:51,280
Speaker 1: war logistics tactics. We're gonna make mistakes. Tell me, do

1754
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:53,680
Speaker 1: you ever feel safe in a humvey? I read those

1755
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 1: things were never meant to be frontline patrol vehicles, spear

1756
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:59,680
Speaker 1: tipping our convoys, laying down fire support. They were glorified

1757
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 1: hum good enough for Arnie, but we use them as

1758
01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:05,760
Speaker 1: armored cars when they're really thin skid utility transports. Our

1759
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 1: Humphies were getting knocked out in droves. Rumsfell As, I

1760
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 1: recall said, you go to war with the army you have,

1761
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 1: and that was that. Keep up the good instincts, Buck,

1762
01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:15,200
Speaker 1: I think you're right on this well, Ryan, I really

1763
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:18,720
Speaker 1: appreciate that, and it's the sign of a sound and

1764
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 1: worthwhile mind for someone to be open to changing their

1765
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:26,960
Speaker 1: opinion on a matter like this, which is clearly very complicated.

1766
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:30,479
Speaker 1: I mean, there are very real reasons to advocate for

1767
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:35,360
Speaker 1: a more bellicose posture toward Iran. And there are certainly

1768
01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 1: very real reasons why I'm saying why I have been saying,

1769
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 1: for example, that we need to be very careful he

1770
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:44,719
Speaker 1: I want to back off. I have been around enough

1771
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:47,600
Speaker 1: in the war zones, you know, seeing enough of what

1772
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 1: the military has been doing, no enough from the intel side.

1773
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:53,599
Speaker 1: And one thing about my perch in the CIA that

1774
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:56,559
Speaker 1: was really interesting and useful is the access I had

1775
01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: to information if I wanted to find it, meaning if

1776
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:01,840
Speaker 1: I was willing to look for in the various databases

1777
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 1: and places where it was held, was astounding, and I

1778
01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:10,519
Speaker 1: did spend it was really the best preparation imaginable for

1779
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 1: a career in media. Quite honestly, for a career as

1780
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:15,439
Speaker 1: radio talk show host. I spent six years of my

1781
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:19,320
Speaker 1: life reading all day long. Basically, what did I really

1782
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: what it was? What was my main skill set as

1783
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:24,760
Speaker 1: a CIA officer? What was my main day to day

1784
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:28,800
Speaker 1: activity reading? It's not sexy, it's not James Baum with

1785
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:33,120
Speaker 1: exploding cuff links. It's not you know, lasers and international supermodels.

1786
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:34,880
Speaker 1: Although that's coming later, folks. Thanks to you. If the

1787
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:38,200
Speaker 1: show keeps growing, we'll get there. But it was it

1788
01:42:38,240 --> 01:42:40,760
Speaker 1: was reading all day long. That's all I did. I

1789
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:42,559
Speaker 1: mean there were other things too, Yes, there was some

1790
01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 1: machine gun training and explosives and stuff, but my job

1791
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 1: really was reading and being being an information super nerd.

1792
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:53,760
Speaker 1: And so when I did that in Iraq and Afghanistan,

1793
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:57,920
Speaker 1: I did have a very i think, a very sound

1794
01:42:58,040 --> 01:43:00,760
Speaker 1: view of what was going on was really going on

1795
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:02,439
Speaker 1: in those countries, which is why I've been saying to

1796
01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 1: you on the show that Afghanistan is effectively a war

1797
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:08,040
Speaker 1: we can't win. I've been saying it for all the

1798
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:09,559
Speaker 1: time that I've been on air, at least as long

1799
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:13,759
Speaker 1: as I can remember. And that caution in these matters

1800
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:16,440
Speaker 1: when we're dealing with the Middle East. You know, could

1801
01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:19,360
Speaker 1: we break and rebuild a European country that shared a

1802
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 1: lot of our values culture? And yeah, I mean I'm

1803
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:24,080
Speaker 1: not suggesting we ever do that again, but I think

1804
01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 1: we could do that. Can we break and rebuild some

1805
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:28,799
Speaker 1: of these Middle Eastern countries with all the different factions?

1806
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:32,439
Speaker 1: And I think the answer is quite honestly no, and

1807
01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 1: we shouldn't try, and it's not worth doing. It's not

1808
01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:38,880
Speaker 1: worth trying. So and you might tell me, well, Buck

1809
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,519
Speaker 1: with Iran. We're not going to try regime change, We're

1810
01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:43,920
Speaker 1: not going to try to rebuild the right. It always

1811
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:49,759
Speaker 1: starts with smaller overtures. You know, there's always a let's

1812
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,760
Speaker 1: just take steps in that direction mentality, and then things

1813
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:54,479
Speaker 1: tend to get bigger. And no, I'm not somebody it

1814
01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:58,719
Speaker 1: screams Gulf of Tonkin incident every time something happens. But

1815
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:01,639
Speaker 1: you know, if we hit the Iranians hard, they're probably

1816
01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:05,719
Speaker 1: gonna want to hit us back. So yeah, we'll see

1817
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:11,280
Speaker 1: and if they hit us back harder, and then you know,
